Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to our Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Aris Water Solutions, Inc. for periods subsequent to the IPO by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding for the same period, including shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units (collectively “RSUs”), which receive nonforfeitable dividends. Shares issued during the period are weighted for the portion of the period in which the shares were outstanding.

Prior to the IPO, Solaris LLC’s capital structure included Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class D units. We determined that the presentation of net income (loss) per unit for the period prior to the IPO would not be meaningful due to the significant nature of the corporate reorganization transactions on the capital structure at IPO date. Therefore, net income (loss) per unit information has not been presented for periods prior to the IPO.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to our Class A common stock:

(1) Unvested shares of restricted stock and RSUs represent participating securities because they participate in nonforfeitable dividends or distributions with the common equity holders of the Company. Participating earnings represent the distributed and undistributed earnings of the Company attributable to participating securities. Unvested RSUs do not participate in undistributed net losses as they are not contractually obligated to do so.

Shares of Class B common stock are considered potentially dilutive shares of Class A common stock because they may be redeemed for shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. A total of 31,248,544 shares and 31,481,479 shares of Class B common stock outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, were determined to be antidilutive and were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock. In addition, 19,086 and all PSUs were determined to be antidilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for those periods.
