Guidance
As previously announced, net income per share for 2024 and 2025 are expected to increase significantly, and we have raised our guidance for the last three consecutive quarters. Beginning with the second quarter of 2024, we began providing guidance using basic shares and followed that practice in the third quarter of 2024. We are providing additional context to net income per share guidance by disclosing these metrics, using both basic and fully diluted share counts, and will disclose both metrics going forward. Other than the inclusion of guidance as to net income per share - diluted, the below guidance is the same as what was included in last week's earnings press release.
