Net Income Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders Net Income Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
Basic and diluted net income per share attributable to CrowdStrike’s common stockholders is computed in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. Basic net income per share attributable to CrowdStrike common stockholders is computed by dividing the net income attributable to CrowdStrike by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share attributable to CrowdStrike common stockholders is calculated by dividing net income by the combination of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and the effect of the weighted-average number of dilutive common share equivalents during the period. The dilutive potential shares of common stock are comprised of outstanding stock options, RSUs, PSUs, Special PSUs, ESPP obligations, and founder holdbacks, and are computed using the treasury stock method. The effects of the outstanding stock options, RSUs, PSUs, Special PSUs, ESPP obligations, and founders holdbacks are excluded from the computation of the diluted net income per share in periods in which the effect would be anti-dilutive.
The rights of the holders of Class A and Class B common stock are identical, except with the respect to voting and conversion rights. As such, the undistributed earnings are allocated equally to each share of common stock without class distinction and the resulting basic and diluted net income per share attributable to CrowdStrike common stockholders are the same for shares of Class A and Class B common stock.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share attributable to CrowdStrike common stockholders (in thousands, except per share data):

The above table excludes founder holdbacks related to business combinations where a variable number of shares will be issued upon vesting to settle a fixed monetary amount of $20.2 million, contingent upon continued employment with the Company. The share price will be determined based on the Company’s average stock price or the volume weighted average stock price five days prior to each vesting date. During the three and six months ended July 31, 2024, 2,295 shares and 5,040 shares, respectively, were issued to settle founder holdbacks at a weighted average price of $387.30 per share and $352.72 per share, respectively.
As of July 31, 2024, the above table also excludes 508,230 weighted average shares of in progress PSUs and Special PSUs where pre-defined targets have not yet been achieved.
