2025 Activity

Diamondback Acquisitions and Divestitures

EPIC Divestiture

On October 31, 2025, the Company divested its 27.5% equity interest in EPIC Crude Holdings, LP (“EPIC”) pursuant to a definitive purchase and sale agreement with Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. and Plains GP Holdings for approximately $504 million in cash and an additional $96 million in unrecognized contingent consideration (the “EPIC Divestiture”). The EPIC Divestiture resulted in a gain on the sale of equity method investments of approximately $299 million, which is included in the caption “Other income (expense), net” on the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. The contingent cash payment is due should the capacity expansion of EPIC be formally sanctioned before year-end 2027.

Divestiture of Water Assets to Deep Blue

On October 1, 2025, the Company divested Environmental Disposal Systems, LLC, a subsidiary originally acquired in connection with the Endeavor Acquisition, to Deep Blue Midland Basin LLC (“Deep Blue”), in exchange for upfront net cash proceeds of $694 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments, and approximately $34 million of additional equity interests issued by Deep Blue as non-cash consideration. The transaction provides for the potential for the Company to earn up to an additional $200 million. If certain completion thresholds are not met, the Company could owe up to $150 million in contingent consideration for the years 2026 through 2028. The Company will recognize any contingent gains when realizable at the end of each annual measurement period, or will accrue a contingent loss if at any time a payable to Deep Blue becomes probable and reasonably estimable. The divestiture resulted in a gain of approximately $168 million, which is included in the caption “Other operating expenses, net” on the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. As part of the divestiture, the Company renewed its 15-year dedication to Deep Blue for its produced water and supply water within a 12-county area of mutual interest in the Midland Basin. The Company’s equity ownership interest in Deep Blue remained at 30% following the closing of the transaction. The cash proceeds from the divestiture were used to repay borrowings under the Credit Agreement (as defined and discussed in Note 8—Debt) and for general corporate purposes.

On May 1, 2025, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Endeavor Energy Resources, LP (“EER LP”) divested all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in 1979 Royalties, LP and 1979 Royalties GP, LLC (collectively, the “Endeavor Subsidiaries”), each of which was a subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to a definitive equity purchase agreement with Viper and Viper LLC in exchange for consideration consisting of (i) $873 million in cash including customary post-closing adjustments, and (ii) the issuance of 69.63 million Viper LLC units and an equivalent number of shares of Viper’s Class B common stock (the “2025 Drop Down”). The Company incurred $21 million in advisory, legal and filing fees related to the 2025 Drop Down, which are reflected in the consolidated statement of operations in the caption “Other operating expenses, net.” Viper funded the cash consideration for the 2025 Drop Down with a portion of the proceeds from the Viper 2025 Equity Offering (as defined and discussed in Note 9—Stockholders’ Equity and Earnings (Loss) Per Share) and borrowings under the Viper Revolving Credit Facility (as defined and discussed in Note 8—Debt). The 2025 Drop Down was accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control.

EER LP can exchange some or all of the Viper LLC units received together with an equal number of shares of Viper’s Class B common stock for an equal number of shares of Viper’s Class A common stock. The mineral and royalty interests held and divested by the Endeavor Subsidiaries at the closing of the 2025 Drop Down represented approximately 24,446 net royalty acres in the Permian Basin,69% of which were operated by the Company, have an average net royalty interest of approximately 2.2% and had oil production as of the closing date of approximately 17,097 BO/d (the “Endeavor Mineral and Royalty Interests”). The Endeavor Mineral and Royalty Interests included interests in horizontal wells comprised of 5,574 gross proved developed production wells (of which approximately 32% were operated by the Company),116 gross completed wells and 394 gross drilled but uncompleted wells, all of which were principally concentrated in the Midland Basin, with the balance located primarily in the Delaware and Williston Basins.

On April 1, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding interests of DE Permian, LLC, DE IV Combo, LLC and DE IV Operating, LLC, each of which were wholly owned subsidiaries of Double Eagle IV Midco, LLC (the “Double Eagle Acquisition”) for consideration of $3.1 billion in cash and approximately 6.84 million shares of the Company’s common stock, including transaction costs and subject to certain customary post-closing adjustments. The assets acquired in the Double Eagle Acquisition consisted of approximately 67,700 gross (40,000 net) acres, which are primarily located in the Midland Basin and approximately 407 gross (342 net) horizontal locations in primary development targets. The Company funded the cash portion of the Double Eagle Acquisition through a combination of proceeds from the 2035 Notes (as defined and discussed in Note 8—Debt), proceeds from the 2025 Term Loan (as defined and discussed in Note 8—Debt) and borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The Double Eagle Acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations.”

Other Transactions

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company completed individually insignificant acquisitions for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $879 million, including customary closing adjustments.

The Company divested non-core assets in individually insignificant transactions for an aggregate of approximately $464 million in proceeds, including customary closing adjustments, during the year ended December 31, 2025.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company exchanged assets valued at approximately $835 million, including customary closing adjustments, in individually insignificant non-monetary transactions.

Viper Acquisition

On August 19, 2025, Viper completed a series of transactions in which New Viper acquired Sitio Royalties Corp. (“Sitio”), Sitio Royalties Operating Partnership, LP (“Sitio OpCo”) and their respective subsidiaries, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated June 2, 2025, by and among Former Viper, Viper LLC, Sitio, Sitio OpCo, New Viper, Cobra Merger Sub, Inc. and Scorpion Merger Sub, Inc. (the “Sitio Acquisition”). The Sitio Acquisition was an all-equity transaction valued at approximately $4.0 billion, including customary transaction costs and post-closing adjustments and the partial retirement of Sitio’s net debt of approximately $1.2 billion.

The mineral and royalty interests acquired in the Sitio Acquisition represent approximately 25,300 net royalty acres in the Permian Basin and approximately 9,000 net royalty acres in the Denver-Julesburg, Eagle Ford and Williston basins, for total acreage of approximately 34,300 net royalty acres. See Note 16—Subsequent Events for discussion of divestiture of the Viper non-Permian acreage in 2026. The Sitio Acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations.”

2024 Activity

Diamondback Acquisitions and Divestiture

TRP Exchange

On December 20, 2024, the Company completed a transaction with TRP Energy, LLC (“TRP”), in which the Company exchanged certain assets including approximately 47,034 gross (35,673 net) acres located in the Delaware Basin and $312 million in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments, for certain of TRP’s assets consisting of approximately 21,582 gross (15,421 net) acres located in the Midland Basin with 55 operated locations (the “TRP Exchange”). The TRP Exchange expanded our operating footprint and enhanced our inventory of near-term drilling locations, and was valued at approximately $1.3 billion. The Company funded the cash portion of the exchange with cash on hand and borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

The following table presents the acquisition consideration transferred in the TRP Exchange (in millions):

Consideration:
Oil and natural gas properties$989
Midstream assets53
Suspense liabilities relieved(9)
Cash consideration312
Total consideration$1,345

Acquisition Date Fair Value of Consideration Transferred

The acquisition date fair value of oil and natural gas properties transferred was determined using an income approach utilizing the discounted cash flow method, which takes into account production forecasts, projected commodity prices and pricing differentials, and estimates of future capital and operating costs which were then discounted utilizing an estimated weighted-average cost of capital for industry market participants. These inputs are not observable in the market and are considered level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. The oil and natural gas properties transferred did not significantly impact the Company’s capitalized costs or proved reserves as of December 31, 2024.

The acquisition date fair value of midstream assets transferred was determined based on the cost approach, which utilized asset listings and cost records with consideration for the age, condition, utilization and economic support of the assets.

Allocation of Consideration Transferred

The TRP Exchange has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations.” The following table represents the allocation of the total consideration transferred in the TRP Exchange to the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on the fair values at the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation was completed in December 2025.

Total consideration$1,345
Fair value of liabilities assumed:
Suspense liabilities$(8)
Fair value of assets acquired:
Oil and natural gas properties1,353
Net assets acquired and liabilities assumed$1,345

With the completion of the TRP Exchange, the Company acquired proved properties of $851 million and unproved properties of $502 million.

The results of operations attributable to the TRP Exchange since the acquisition date have been included in the consolidated statements of operations and were insignificant for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Endeavor Acquisition

On September 10, 2024, the Company completed its acquisition of Endeavor Parent, LLC (“Endeavor”) (the “Endeavor Acquisition”) for consideration consisting of (i) $7.1 billion in cash paid to the Endeavor equityholders, (ii) $238 million for the repayment of Endeavor’s net debt, which included the $219 million net debt position and the associated $19 million make-whole premium paid upon redemption of the senior notes and costs incurred to terminate Endeavor’s revolving credit facility, and (iii) approximately 117.27 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The Endeavor Acquisition included approximately 500,849 gross (361,927 net) acres, which are primarily located in the Permian Basin. Following the Endeavor Acquisition, the Company believes its inventory has industry-leading depth and quality that will be converted into cash flow with the industry’s lowest cost structure, creating a differentiated value proposition for Diamondback stockholders.

The cash consideration for the Endeavor Acquisition was funded through a combination of cash on hand, the net proceeds from the Company’s April 2024 Notes offering and borrowings under the Tranche A Loans. Immediately following the close of the Endeavor Acquisition, Endeavor equityholders held approximately 39.8% of Diamondback’s common stock. As of December 31, 2025, Endeavor’s equityholders held approximately 35.8% of the Company’s common stock.

Following the closing of the Endeavor Acquisition, the Company filed with the SEC a shelf registration statement, which became immediately effective upon filing, registering for resale the shares of common stock issued in the Endeavor Acquisition, as required by the terms of the related registration rights agreement.

The following table presents the acquisition consideration paid to Endeavor equityholders in the Endeavor Acquisition (in millions, except per share data, shares in thousands):

Consideration:
Shares of Diamondback common stock issued at closing117,267
Closing price per share of Diamondback common stock on the closing date$171.49
Fair value of Diamondback common stock issued$20,110
Base cash amount$8,000

Cash consideration to Endeavor equityholders7,072
Cash payment of net debt position and make-whole amount238
Total cash consideration7,310
Total consideration (including fair value of Diamondback common stock issued)$27,420

Purchase Price Allocation

The Endeavor Acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations.” The following table represents the allocation of the total purchase price for the acquisition of Endeavor to the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on the fair values at the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation was completed in September 2025.

Total consideration$27,420
Fair value of liabilities assumed:
Accounts payable - trade$18
Accrued capital expenditures225
Other accrued liabilities524
Revenues and royalties payable567
Derivative instruments5
Income taxes payable223
Other current liabilities25
Asset retirement obligations267
Deferred income taxes7,249
Other long-term liabilities5
Amount attributable to liabilities acquired$9,108
Fair value of assets acquired:
Accounts receivable - joint interest and other, net$63
Accounts receivable - oil and natural gas sales, net659
Inventories77
Derivative instruments25
Prepaid expenses and other current assets20
Oil and natural gas properties34,805
Other property, equipment and land849
Other assets30
Amount attributable to assets acquired36,528
Net assets acquired and liabilities assumed$27,420

The purchase price allocation above is based on the fair values of the assets and liabilities of Endeavor as of the closing date of the Endeavor Acquisition. The majority of the value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was measured based on inputs that are not observable in the market and are therefore considered Level 3 inputs. The fair value of acquired property and equipment is based on the cost approach, which utilized asset listings and cost records with consideration for the reported age, condition, utilization and economic support of the assets. Oil and natural gas properties were valued using an income approach utilizing the discounted cash flow method, which takes into account production and mineral interest forecasts, projected commodity prices and pricing differentials, and estimates of future capital and operating costs which were then discounted utilizing an estimated weighted-average cost of capital for industry market participants. The value of derivative instruments was based on observable inputs including forward commodity-price curves which are considered Level 2 inputs. Deferred income taxes represent the tax effects of differences in the tax basis and acquisition-date fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values of asset retirement obligations and inventories were calculated in accordance with the Company’s internal policies as described in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The fair values of various current assets and liabilities including accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying values on the closing date of the Endeavor Acquisition because of the short-term nature of the instruments.

With the completion of the Endeavor Acquisition, the Company acquired proved properties of $20.6 billion and unproved properties of $14.2 billion, primarily in the Midland Basin.

The results of operations attributable to the Endeavor Acquisition since the acquisition date have been included in the consolidated statements of operations and include $1.8 billion of total revenue and $459 million of net income for the year ended December 31, 2024.

WTG Midstream Transaction

The Company owns a 25% non-operating equity investment in Remuda Midstream Holdings LLC, referred to as the “WTG joint venture.” On July 15, 2024, the WTG joint venture sold its subsidiary, WTG Midstream LLC, (the “WTG Midstream Transaction”) for which the Company received as its portion of the consideration 10.1 million common units issued by Energy Transfer LP (NYSE: ET) and $190 million in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The common unit consideration was also subject to preferred distributions to incentive members of the WTG joint venture which reduced the proceeds attributable to the Company. At the closing of the WTG Midstream Transaction, the value attributable to the Company of the 10.1 million common units was approximately $135 million, of which approximately $81 million was received by the Company and $54 million was initially held in escrow pursuant to an escrow agreement entered into by the WTG joint venture in connection with the initial transaction. In the third quarter of 2025, the Company received approximately $15 million related to the settlement of working capital and the full $54 million of the escrow amount was released. The total value of distributions received by the Company of $336 million, including certain post-closing adjustments, exceeded the carrying value of the Company’s investment balance in the WTG joint venture, resulting in an aggregate gain of approximately $139 million, of which approximately $65 million was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively. The gain is included in the caption “Other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statement of operations.

Viper Acquisitions

Viper Tumbleweed Acquisitions

In September and October of 2024, Viper completed a series of related acquisitions including the Viper TWR Acquisition, the Viper Q Acquisition and the Viper M Acquisition, (collectively the “Viper Tumbleweed Acquisitions”) each as defined and discussed below. The Viper Tumbleweed Acquisitions were each accounted for as asset acquisitions in accordance with ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations.”

On October 1, 2024, Viper acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in TWR IV, LLC and TWR IV SellCo, LLC from Tumbleweed Royalty IV, LLC (“TWR IV”) and TWR IV SellCo Parent, LLC (the “Viper TWR Acquisition”), pursuant to a definitive purchase and sale agreement for consideration consisting of (i) approximately $464 million in cash, including transaction costs and certain customary post-closing adjustments, (ii) approximately 10.09 million Viper LLC units to TWR IV, (iii) an option granted to TWR IV to acquire up to 10.09 million shares of Viper’s Class B common stock (the “TWR Class B Option”), and (iv) contingent cash consideration of $16 million paid in January 2026 based on the average price of WTI sweet crude oil prompt month futures contracts for the calendar year 2025 (the “WTI 2025 Average”).

TWR IV can exchange some or all of its Viper LLC units for an equal number of shares of Viper’s Class A common stock. The mineral and royalty interests acquired in the Viper TWR Acquisition represent approximately 3,067 net royalty acres located primarily in the Permian Basin. Viper funded the cash consideration for the Viper TWR Acquisition through a combination of cash on hand, borrowings under Viper’s then revolving credit facility and proceeds from the Viper 2024 Equity Offering (as defined and discussed in Note 9—Stockholders’ Equity and Earnings (Loss) Per Share).

On September 3, 2024, Viper acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in Tumbleweed-Q Royalties, LLC (the “Viper Q Acquisition”), pursuant to a definitive purchase and sale agreement for consideration consisting of (i) approximately $114 million in cash, including transaction costs and certain customary post-closing adjustments, and (ii) contingent cash consideration of $2 million paid in January 2026 based on the WTI 2025 Average.

Additionally, on September 3, 2024, Viper acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in MC TWR Royalties, LP and MC TWR Intermediate, LLC (the “Viper M Acquisition” and together with the Viper Q Acquisition, the “Viper Q & M Acquisitions”), pursuant to a definitive purchase and sale agreement for consideration consisting of (i) approximately $76 million in cash, including transaction costs and certain customary post-closing adjustments, and (ii) contingent cash consideration of $2 million paid in January 2026 based on the WTI 2025 Average. The mineral and royalty interests acquired in the Viper Q & M Acquisitions represent approximately 406 and 267 net royalty acres located primarily in the Permian Basin, respectively. Viper funded the cash consideration for the Viper Q & M Acquisitions through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under Viper’s then revolving credit facility.

The contingent consideration liabilities for each of the Viper Tumbleweed Acquisitions discussed above are collectively referred to as the “2026 WTI Contingent Liability”.

2023 Activity

Diamondback Acquisition and Divestitures

Lario Acquisition

On January 31, 2023, the Company closed on its acquisition of all leasehold interests and related assets of Lario Permian, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lario Oil and Gas Company, and certain associated sellers. The acquisition included approximately 25,000 gross (16,000 net) acres in the Midland Basin and certain related oil and gas assets (the “Lario Acquisition”), in exchange for consideration of 4.33 million shares of the Company’s common stock and $814 million in cash, including customary post-closing adjustments. Approximately $113 million of the cash consideration was deposited in an indemnity holdback escrow account at closing and was distributed upon satisfactory settlement of any potential title defects on the acquired properties during the first quarter of 2024. The cash consideration for the Lario Acquisition was funded through a combination of cash on hand, a portion of the net proceeds from the Company’s offering of 6.250% Senior Notes due 2053 and borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

The following table presents the acquisition consideration paid in the Lario Acquisition (in millions, except per share data, shares in thousands):

Consideration:
Shares of Diamondback common stock issued at closing4,330
Closing price per share of Diamondback common stock on the closing date$146.12
Fair value of Diamondback common stock issued$633
Cash consideration814
Total consideration (including fair value of Diamondback common stock issued)$1,447

Purchase Price Allocation

The Lario Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method. The following table represents the allocation of the total purchase price paid in the Lario Acquisition to the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on the fair values at the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation was completed in December 2023.

Total consideration$1,447
Fair value of liabilities assumed:
Other long-term liabilities$37
Fair value of assets acquired:
Oil and natural gas properties$1,460
Inventories2
Other property, equipment and land22
Amount attributable to assets acquired1,484
Net assets acquired and liabilities assumed$1,447

Oil and natural gas properties were valued using an income approach utilizing the discounted cash flow method, which takes into account production forecasts, projected commodity prices and pricing differentials, and estimates of future capital and operating costs which were then discounted utilizing an estimated weighted-average cost of capital for industry market participants. The fair value of acquired midstream assets, vehicles and a field office were based on the cost approach, which utilized asset listings and cost records with consideration for the reported age, condition, utilization and economic support of the assets and were included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Other property, equipment and land.” The majority of the measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on inputs that are not observable in the market and are therefore considered Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.

With the completion of the Lario Acquisition, the Company acquired proved properties of $924 million and unproved properties of $536 million. The results of operations attributable to the Lario Acquisition since the acquisition date have been included in the consolidated statements of operations and include $488 million of total revenue and $200 million of net income for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Divestiture of Deep Blue Water Assets and Deep Blue Formation

On September 1, 2023, the Company closed on a joint venture agreement with Five Point Energy LLC (“Five Point”) to form Deep Blue. At closing, the Company contributed certain treated water, fresh water and saltwater disposal assets (the “Deep Blue Water Assets”) with a net carrying value of $703 million, including certain post-closing adjustments, and Five Point contributed $251 million in cash to Deep Blue. In exchange for these contributions, Deep Blue issued the Company a one-time cash distribution of approximately $516 million and a 30% equity ownership and voting interest, and issued to Five Point a 70% equity ownership and voting interest. Five Point is not considered a related party of the Company.

Additionally, under a separate agreement with Deep Blue, the Company continued to operate the Deep Blue Water Assets on a short-term basis. Five Point agreed to pay the Company approximately $47 million upon the successful transfer of operations to Deep Blue and the Company recorded approximately $43 million as a contingent consideration receivable on the closing date based on the assessed probability of earning the additional consideration. Upon the successful transfer of operations in June 2024, the Company received the full contingent consideration amount of $47 million.

The Company recorded its 30% equity interest in Deep Blue at fair value based on the cash consideration and contingent consideration contributed by Five Point to Deep Blue in exchange for its 70% equity ownership. The Company’s equity method investment in Deep Blue had an initial fair value of $126 million. The Company’s proportionate share of the income or loss from Deep Blue is recognized on atwo-month lag. The Company has recognized an aggregate $13 million loss on the sale of its Deep Blue Water Assets, of which approximately $1 million was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024. The loss on the sale of Deep Blue Water Assets is included in the caption “Other operating expenses” in the consolidated statement of operations. The majority of measurements utilized to determine the fair value amounts reported above relating to this transaction are based on inputs that are not observable in the market and are therefore considered Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.

The Company and Five Point anticipate collectively contributing $500 million in follow-on capital to fund future growth projects and acquisitions.

As part of the transaction, the Company also entered into a 15-year dedication with Deep Blue for its produced water and supply water within a 12-county area of mutual interest in the Midland Basin. See Note 7—Related Party Transactions for further discussion of transactions with Deep Blue.

Equity Method Investment Divestitures

During 2023, the Company divested its 43% limited liability company interest in OMOG JV LLC and its 10% non-operating equity investment in Gray Oak Pipeline, LLC for an aggregate $397 million. These divestitures resulted in an aggregate gain on the sale of equity method investments of approximately $88 million, which is included in the caption “Other income (expense), net” on the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company used its net proceeds from this transaction for debt reduction and other general corporate purposes.

Non-Core Asset Divestitures

During 2023, the Company divested non-core assets to unrelated third-party buyers consisting of approximately 19,000 net acres in Glasscock County, TX and 4,900 net acres in Ward County and Winkler County, TX for net cash proceeds of $341 million, including customary post-closing adjustments. The Company used its net proceeds from these transactions for debt reduction and other general corporate purposes.

The divestitures of non-core oil and gas assets did not result in a significant alteration of the relationship between the Company’s capitalized costs and proved reserves and, accordingly, the Company recorded the proceeds as a reduction of its full cost pool with no gain or loss recognized on the sales.

Viper Acquisitions

GRP Acquisition

On November 1, 2023, Viper acquired certain mineral and royalty interests from Royalty Asset Holdings, LP, Royalty Asset Holdings II, LP and Saxum Asset Holdings, LP, affiliates of Warwick Capital Partners and GRP Energy Capital, pursuant to a definitive purchase and sale agreement for approximately 9.02 million Viper common units and $747 million in cash, including transaction costs and certain customary post-closing adjustments (the “GRP Acquisition”). The mineral and royalty interests acquired in the GRP Acquisition represent approximately 4,600 net royalty acres in the Permian Basin, plus approximately 2,700 additional net royalty acres in other major basins. The cash consideration for the GRP Acquisition was funded through a combination of cash on hand and held in escrow, borrowings under Viper’s then revolving credit facility, proceeds from the Viper 2031 Notes (as defined and discussed in Note 8—Debt) and proceeds from a $200 million common unit issuance to Diamondback discussed further in Note 9—Stockholders’ Equity and Earnings (Loss) Per Share.
