Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings Per Share ("EPS") Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)
We present both basic and diluted EPS.  We compute basic EPS by dividing net income available to common shareholders allocable to unrestricted common shares under the two-class method by the weighted average number of unrestricted common shares outstanding during the period.  Our computation of diluted EPS is similar except that:
 
the denominator is increased to include: (1) the weighted average number of potential additional common shares that would have been outstanding if securities that are convertible into common shares were converted; and (2) the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests and share-based compensation awards using the if-converted or treasury stock methods; and
the numerator is adjusted to add back any changes in income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion into common shares that we add to the denominator.

Summaries of the numerator and denominator for purposes of basic and diluted EPS calculations are set forth below (in thousands, except per share data):

Our diluted EPS computations do not include the effects of the following securities since the conversions of such securities would increase diluted EPS for the respective periods (in thousands):
Weighted Average Shares Excluded from Denominator for the Years Ended December 31,
  2022 2021 2020
Conversion of common units 1,454  1,257  1,236 
Conversion of redeemable noncontrolling interests 866  804  957 
Conversion of Series I Preferred Units —  —  171 

The following securities were also excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because their effect was antidilutive:
 
weighted average restricted shares and deferred share awards of 399,000 for 2022, 412,000 for 2021 and 430,000 for 2020; and
weighted average TB-PIUs of 187,000 for 2022, 158,000 for 2021 and 89,000 for 2020.
