Net Loss Per Share

Net Loss Per Share

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2021

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, including stock options, RSUs, warrants to purchase redeemable convertible preferred stock and Class A Common Stock, redeemable convertible preferred stock, founders convertible preferred stock and contingently issuable shares, except in cases where the effect of the common stock equivalent would be anti-dilutive. Potential common stock equivalents consist of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options and vesting of RSUs using the treasury stock method. Since the Company was in a loss position for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, basic net loss per share was the same as diluted net loss per share for the periods presented.

The Company computes net loss per share using the two-class method. The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the Class A Common Stock and Class X Common Stock are identical, other than voting rights. Accordingly, the Class A Common Stock and Class X Common Stock share equally in the Company’s net losses. Because the computed loss per share for holders of the Class A Common Stock and the Class X Common Stock is identical, we do not present separate net loss per share computations.

Net loss per share was retroactively restated to reflect the application of the Business Combination. Net loss was adjusted to reflect the accrual of paid-in kind dividends earned by certain holders of senior preferred stock. The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands, except per share amounts):
