15. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock and any dilutive securities outstanding during the period. The Company’s potentially dilutive securities are share-based awards. The Company applies the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding based on the outstanding share-based awards. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had 10 million preferred shares authorized at par value of $0.00001 per share, with zero shares issued and outstanding and aggregate liquidation preference of zero dollars.
