Net Loss Per Share Net Loss Per Share
The Company had two classes of stock outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2024, common stock and preferred stock, and had only common stock outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company computes net loss per share using the two-class method, as the Series C Preferred Stock participates in distributions with the Company’s common stock. The two-class method of computing net loss per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines net loss for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. As the Company is in a net loss position for the three months ended March 31, 2024, the two-class method of computing net loss per share results in no allocation of undistributed losses to participating securities.

Basic net loss per share for common stock is computed by dividing the sum of distributed earnings by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding as of March 31, 2023 includes the weighted average effect of pre-funded warrants, the exercise of which required nominal consideration for the delivery of the shares of common stock. There were no pre-funded warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2024.

Diluted net loss per share may include the potential dilutive effect of common stock equivalents as if such securities were converted or exercised during the period, when the effect is dilutive. Common stock equivalents include: (i) outstanding stock options and restricted stock units, which are included under the “treasury stock method” when dilutive; (ii) common stock to be issued upon the exercise of outstanding warrants, which are included under the “treasury stock method” when dilutive, and (iii) preferred stock under the if-converted method. Because the impact of these items is anti-dilutive during periods of net loss, there is no difference between basic and diluted loss per common share for periods with net losses.

The following tables set forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 (in thousands, except share and per share amounts): 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
  Common stock
Net loss $ (121,290)
Weighted average shares 859,381 
Basic and diluted net loss per share $ (141)

As the Company is in a net loss position as of March 31, 2024, the two-class method of computing net loss per share results in no allocation of undistributed losses to participating securities. As such, there is no allocation of undistributed losses to the Series C Preferred Stock outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and therefore the preferred stock is not reflected in the above table.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2023
  Common stock
Net loss $ (9,955)
Weighted average shares 48,845 
Basic and diluted net loss per share $ (204)

The following outstanding securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, as they could have been anti-dilutive: 
  Three Months Ended

  2024 2023
Stock options 7,543 7,558
Warrants on common stock1

Series C Preferred Stock (as-converted to common stock)2
22,357,897
1 The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2023 includes the weighted average outstanding pre-funded warrants for the period because their exercise price was nominal. There were no pre-funded warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2024.
2 Subject to stockholder approval, each share of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock will automatically convert to 1,000 shares of common stock, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations.
