Stock option grant date fair values are calculated based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the grant date. Adjustments have been made using stock option fair values as of each measurement date using the stock price as of the measurement date and updated assumptions (i.e., term, volatility, risk free rates) as of the measurement date. The change in stock price was the primary driver for the adjustments in the table above.
The following table presents a comparison of our actual compensation paid to NEOs versus our total stockholder return, net losses and sales:
| 12 months ending September 30, 2025 | 12 months ending September 30, 2024 | Change | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total stockholder return (change in stock price) | $1.32 | $1.15 | 15% |
| Net loss (in thousands) | $(2,518) | $(1,961) | (28)% |
| Actual compensation paid to NEOs | $1,077,765 | $1,046,969 | 3% |
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, net loss attributable to common shareholders was $(2,849).
