Earnings (Loss) Per Share

9 Months Ended

Sep. 25, 2022

Earnings (Loss) Per ShareWe compute earnings (loss) per share using the two-class method. The two-class method requires an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings (loss) per share for common shareholders and participating security holders according to dividends declared and participating rights in undistributed earnings. The shares of the Company’s former Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred Stock"), all of which were repurchased by the Company or converted into shares of common stock during 2021, and time-based restricted stock awards are participating securities because holders of such shares have non-forfeitable dividend rights and participate in undistributed earnings with common stock. Under the two-class method, total dividends provided to the holders of participating securities and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities, are subtracted from net income attributable to the Company in determining net income attributable to common shareholders. Additionally, any accretion to the redemption value for the Series B Preferred Stock was treated as a deemed dividend in the two-class earnings per share calculation.

The calculations of basic and diluted earnings per common share are as follows:
