EARNINGS PER SHARE

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2022

The following table sets forth the computation of net income used to compute basic and diluted net earnings per share of Class A common stock for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022. No earnings per share are presented for the periods ended September 30, 2021 as only the Class B common shares would have been outstanding in historical periods pursuant to the reverse recapitalization and the Class B common shares do not participate in the Company's income or loss and are therefore not participating securities.


	Three Months Ended September 30, 2022		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

Basic and diluted:
Net income	$	21,894	$	109,459
Less: Net income attributable to non-controlling interest	(19,077)		(93,973)
Net income attributable to Class A Common Stockholders	$	2,817	$	15,486
Plus: adjustment due to net effect of stock options and exchangeable notes to net income	733		15,446
Net income attributable to Class A Common Stockholders after adjustment	$	3,550	$	30,932
Weighted average common shares outstanding used in computing net income per share - basic	15,433,438		15,141,169
Plus: net effect of dilutive stock options and exchangeable notes	4,228,622		17,673,514
Weighted average common shares outstanding used in computing net income per share—diluted	19,662,060		32,814,683
Net income per share—basic	$	0.18	$	1.02
Net income per share—diluted	$	0.18	$	0.94

Securities that could potentially be dilutive are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share when the exercise price exceeds the average closing price of the Company’s common stock during the period, because their inclusion would result in an antidilutive effect on per share amounts. The Company applied the if-converted method for the Exchangeable Notes to calculate diluted earnings per share in accordance with ASU 2020-06.

The following amounts were not included in the calculation of net earnings per diluted share because their effects were anti-dilutive:


	Three Months Ended September 30, 2022	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022
Potentially dilutive securities:
Warrants	22,415,400	22,415,400
Class B common shares	60,586,800	60,586,800
Exchangeable notes	12,999,978	—
Earnout consideration shares	7,500,000	7,500,000
Stock options and restricted common shares	3,753,590	3,453,590

Change in Accounting Policy for net income per share:

Effective April 1, 2022, the Company had changed its methodology to apply its accounting policy to calculate the basic and diluted earnings per share as well as determined that it would push down the changes in fair value of the mark-to-market liabilities that related to the Company's warrants and earnout consideration liability to its operating subsidiary, Holdings, resulting in a change to the net income attributable to the controlling and non-controlling interest.

The Company observed diversity in practice due to lack of specific guidance in ASC 810 related to earnings per share due to the Company's Up-C structure. The method adopted effective April 1, 2022 was voluntary and more appropriately represented the economics of the net income allocation upon the conversion of the potential dilutive instruments due to the fact that the issuance of Class A Common Stock would result with a corresponding issuance of a Class A Common Unit in Holdings. Further, for similar reasons, pushing down the changes in fair value of the mark-to-market liabilities to Holdings, and therefore allocating the changes between the controlling and non-controlling interest would provide more appropriate information to the users of the financial statements. The Company determined that, accordingly, this change would more appropriately reflect the allocation of the consolidated Company’s net assets between the controlling and non-controlling interest, and the respective basic and dilutive earnings per share presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
