| (1) |
We compute net income (loss) per share independently for each quarter during the year.
|
| (2) |
As discussed in Note 1, Organization and Significant Accounting Policies, we compute basic net income (loss) per share by dividing the total net income (loss)
attributable to our common stockholders by our weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Our basic net income per share for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $1.59.
|
Our basic net loss per share calculation for the fourth quarter of 2020 considered our net loss for Ionis on a stand-alone
basis plus our share of Akcea’s net loss for the period. To calculate the portion of Akcea’s net loss attributable to our ownership, we multiplied Akcea’s loss per share by the weighted average shares we owned in Akcea during the period. As a result of
this calculation, our total net loss available to Ionis common stockholders for the calculation of net loss per share is different than net loss attributable to Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. common stockholders in the consolidated statements of
operations.
Our basic net loss per share for the fourth quarter of 2020 was calculated as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):
