NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2019

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to Class A Common shareholders by the weighted average numbers of shares outstanding during the period. Class C Common Stock is excluded from the weighted average shares outstanding immediately following the Closing Date for the calculation of basic net income per share, as holders of Class C Common Stock are not entitled to any dividends or liquidating distributions.

The Company uses the “if-converted method” to determine the potential dilutive effect of (i) exchanges of outstanding common units of Altus Midstream and corresponding shares of its outstanding Class C Common Stock and (ii) earn-out consideration. The treasury stock method is used to determine the potential dilutive effect of its outstanding warrants. Further discussion of the Company’s outstanding common shares, warrants and earn-out consideration as well as any applicable redemption rights is provided in Note 12 — Equity.

The computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the periods presented in the consolidated financial statements is shown in the table below.

Shares of Class A Common Stock and Class C Common Stock issued to Apache in exchange for its ownership interests in the Altus Midstream Entities were retroactively restated from May 26, 2016 (inception) to the Closing Date, based on the proportionate value of the capital contributions made by Apache to the Altus Midstream Entities. The calculation of the weighted averages shares outstanding from inception up to the Closing Date includes all shares issued to Apache, in order to reflect Apache’s 100 percent economic interest in the Altus Midstream Entities until that time. For further detail of the Business Combination and associated financial statement presentation, please refer to Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 2 — Recapitalization Transaction.

Earn-out consideration granting Apache the right to receive up to 37,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock is not included in the earnings per share calculation above, as the conditions for issuance were not satisfied as of the quarter-ended March 31, 2019. The outstanding warrants of the Company to purchase an aggregate 18,941,631 shares of Class A Common Stock are not considered in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
