To make it simple, then you will have:

Owner Earnings per Share (TTM) = (Net Income + Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization + Change In Deferred Tax - 5Y Average of Maintenance Capital Expenditure + Change In Working Capital) / Shares Outstanding (Diluted Average)

Granite City Food & Brewery's Owner Earnings per Share (TTM) Calculation:

TTM / Last Quarter Average of Last 20 Quarters
Net Income -7.8
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization 9.1
Change In Deferred Tax 0.0
5Y Average of Maintenance Capital Expenditure 11.7
Change In Working Capital 0.6
Shares Outstanding (Diluted Average) 14.4

1. Start with "Net Income" from income statement. Granite City Food & Brewery's Net Income for the trailing twelve months (TTM) ended in Jun. 2017 was $-7.8 Mil.

2. "Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization" is from cashflow statement. Granite City Food & Brewery's Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization for the trailing twelve months (TTM) ended in Jun. 2017 was $9.1 Mil. This needs to be added back because company does not actually need to pay cash for it. It is a non-cash item.

3. Other non-cash charges usually include "Stock Based Compensation" and "Change In Deferred Tax":
However, to be conservative, GuruFocus will not add Stock Based Compensation back to net income. Granite City Food & Brewery's Change In Deferred Tax for the trailing twelve months (TTM) ended in Jun. 2017 was $0.0 Mil.

4. Average maintenance capital expenditure over a business/industry cycle: 5-Year Average Maintenance Capital Expenditure = $11.7 Mil

It is usually best to take a long-term average of maintenance capital expenditure. Ideally this would be as long as 10 years and include at least one economic downturn. However, since many companies do not have as long as 10-year history, here GuruFocus uses the latest 5 years data to do the calculation. To smooth out unusual years but reflect recent developments, we take an average of the 5 year maintenance capital expenditure.

The following shows how to get maintenance capital expenditure.

First, calculate the revenue change regarding to the previous quarter. If the revenue decreased from the previous quarter, then the Maintenance Capital Expenditure = Capital Expenditure (positive).
Second, if the revenue increased from the previous quarter, then calculate the percentage of Net PPE as of corresponding Revenue.
Growth Capital Expenditure = Percentage of Property, Plant and Equipment as of corresponding Revenue * Revenue Increase
Third, calculate Capital Expenditure (positive) - Growth Capital Expenditure.
If [Capital Expenditure (positive) - Growth Capital Expenditure] was negative, then the Maintenance Capital Expenditure = Capital Expenditure (positive).
If [Capital Expenditure (positive) - Growth Capital Expenditure] was positive, then the Maintenance Capital Expenditure = Capital Expenditure (positive) - Growth Capital Expenditure.
Fourth, get the average of the 5 years maintenance capital expenditure.

Granite City Food & Brewery's 5-Year Average Maintenance Capital Expenditure = $11.7 Mil

5. "Change In Working Capital" is from cashflow statement. Granite City Food & Brewery's Change In Working Capital for the trailing twelve months (TTM) ended in Jun. 2017 was $0.6 Mil.
Note: GuruFocus' Change in Working Capital is provided by Morningstar. It is calculated by adding the items under "Change in operating assets and liabilities" (may refer to a different name for different company) section in Cash Flow Statement from original financial report. And sometimes it includes non-current parts of assets and liabilities.

6. Granite City Food & Brewery's Shares Outstanding (Diluted Average) for the months ended in Jun. 2017 was 14.361 Mil.
