15.    NET INCOME PER SHARE
As of December 31, 2024, 46,506,973 shares of AFG's common stock (par value $0.01) were issued and outstanding. Common shares outstanding increased by 1,311,603, during the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to the issuance of shares in the Beat acquisition, offset by share repurchases.
Share Repurchases
On March 29, 2022, AFG's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing up to $20,000 in share repurchases. On May 5, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $15,000 in share repurchase. This program expired on March 31, 2024.
On November 12, 2024, Ambac’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program, under which Ambac may opportunistically repurchase up to $50,000 of the Company’s common shares at management’s discretion over the period ending on December 31, 2026.

Earnings Per Share Calculation
The numerator of the basic and diluted earnings per share computation represents net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders adjusted by the retained earnings impact of the adjustment to redemption value of redeemable NCI under ASC 480. The redemption value adjustment is further described in the Redeemable NCI section of Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies.
The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders to the numerator in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation, together with the resulting earnings per share amounts:

Per Share:
Basic$(0.13)$(0.43)$(0.74)
Diluted$(0.13)$(0.43)$(0.74)
The denominator of the basic earnings per share computation represents the weighted average common shares outstanding plus vested restricted stock units (together, "Basic Weighted Average Shares Outstanding"). The denominator of diluted earnings per share adjusts the basic weighted average shares outstanding for all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. All potential dilutive common shares outstanding consider common stock deliverable pursuant to warrants, unvested restricted stock units and performance stock units granted under existing compensation plans.
In determining diluted net income (loss) per share, whether net income from continuing operations is positive or negative controls whether dilutive shares are included in the determination. For all periods presented, net income from continuing operations is negative, a net loss. Accordingly, since including dilutive shares would dilute the loss from continuing operations, no dilutive shares are included in any of the per share calculations. The following table provides a reconciliation of the common shares used for basic net income per share to the diluted shares used for diluted net income per share:

(1)Performance stock units are reflected based on the performance metrics through the balance sheet date. Vesting of these units is contingent upon meeting certain performance metrics. Although a portion of these performance metrics have been achieved as of the respective period end, it is possible that awards may no longer meet the metric at the end of the performance period.
