Note 15 – Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share has been calculated by dividing net income attributable to Class A common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock has been computed by dividing net income attributable to XPO Inc. by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities.

Because a portion of XPO Holdings is owned by parties other than the Company, those parties participate in earnings and losses at the XPO Holdings level. Additionally, given the organizational structure of XPO Inc, a parallel capital structure exists at XPO Holdings such that the shares of XPO Holdings are redeemable on a one-to-one basis with the XPO Inc. shares. In order to maintain the one-to-one ratio, the preferred stock issued at the XPO Inc. level also exist at the XPO Holdings level. The Company applies the two-class method to allocate undistributed earnings or losses of XPO Holdings, and in doing so, determines the portion of XPO Holdings’ income or loss that is attributable to the Company and accordingly reflected in income or loss available to common stockholders in the Company’s calculation of basic earnings (loss) per share.

Due to the attribution of only a portion of the preferred stock dividends issued by XPO Holdings to the Company in first determining basic earnings per share at the subsidiary level, the amounts presented as net income attributable to noncontrolling interests and net income attributable to XPO Inc. presented below will not agree to the amounts presented on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
 

Diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders adjusts the basic earnings per share attributable to common stockholders and the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding to give effect to potentially dilutive securities. The potential dilutive impact of redeemable Convertible Preferred shares and Class B common stock is evaluated using the as-if-converted method. The potential dilutive effects of Class B common stock were determined to be anti-dilutive for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. The potential dilutive effects of redeemable Convertible Preferred shares were determined to be anti-dilutive for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. Weighted average shares of Class B common stock were 16,574 and 17,563 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and 22,106 and 22,633 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The potentially dilutive impact of RSUs is calculated using the treasury stock method.
