Net Loss Per Share Net Loss Per Share
Prior to the Company's IPO in June 2021, the Company computed net loss per share using the two-class method required for participating securities. The two-class method required income available to ordinary stockholders for the period to be allocated between ordinary shares and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. The Company considered its convertible preferred shares to be participating securities, as the holders of the convertible preferred shares were entitled to dividends that would be distributed to the holders of ordinary shares on a pro-rata basis assuming conversion of all convertible preferred shares into ordinary shares. These participating securities did not contractually require the holders of such shares to participate in the Company’s losses. As such, net loss was not allocated to the Company’s participating securities.

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) for the period. In periods when the Company had income, the Company calculated basic earnings per share using the two-class method, if required, pursuant to ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. The two-class method was required effective with the issuance of convertible preferred stock in the past because this class of stock qualified as a participating security, giving the holder the right to receive dividends should dividends be declared on common stock. Under the two-class method, earnings for a period were allocated on a pro rata basis to the common stockholders and to the holders of convertible preferred stock based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and number of shares that could be issued upon conversion. In periods of losses, diluted loss per share is computed on the same basis as basic loss per share as the inclusion of any other potential shares outstanding would be anti-dilutive.

Following the Company’s IPO in June 2021, the Company has two classes of common stock: Class A common stock and Class B common stock. The rights of the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting, conversion and transfer rights. All shares of the Company’s capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the Company’s IPO, including all shares held by executive officers, directors and their respective affiliates, and all shares issuable
on the conversion of outstanding convertible preferred stock, were converted into shares of the Company’s Class B common stock immediately prior to the completion of the offering. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis to each class of common stock and the resulting basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders are, therefore, the same for both Class A and Class B common stock on both an individual and combined basis.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):
