I must be missing something.

The per-share loss calculations, however, fell to 93 cents in the latest period from $1.12 a year ago because of an increase in the number of shares outstanding. The loss was smaller than the $1.02 per share that analysts polled by Thomson First Call had been expecting.

The loss is distributed over a wider number of outstanding shares as compared to last year. So the total loss is greater, but the per share loss is lower.

Simple really. A widening loss is the same as a shrinking loss, only different.

In the article it details it all.

The loss widened in as much XM is still not making money. The loss shrunk in that they're losing less.

Just like how the Democrats play word games.
