Earnings Per Share ("EPS")

Earnings Per Share ("EPS")

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2023

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):


	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Numerator:
Income from continuing operations	$	80,398	$	31,251
Income from continuing operations attributable to noncontrolling interests	(1,619)		(1,084)
Income from continuing operations attributable to share-based compensation awards for basic EPS	(297)		(116)
Numerator for basic EPS from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders	78,482		30,051

Redeemable noncontrolling interests	(64)		(39)


Adjustment to income from continuing operations attributable to share-based compensation awards for diluted EPS	49		18
Numerator for diluted EPS from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders	78,467		30,030
Discontinued operations	—		29,573
Discontinued operations attributable to noncontrolling interests	—		(421)
Income from discontinued operations attributable to share-based compensation awards for diluted EPS	—		(83)
Numerator for diluted EPS on net income attributable to common shareholders	$	78,467	$	59,099

Denominator (all weighted averages):
Denominator for basic EPS (common shares)	112,127		112,020


Dilutive effect of redeemable noncontrolling interests	91		132
Dilutive effect of share-based compensation awards	410		426
Denominator for diluted EPS (common shares)	112,628		112,578

Basic EPS attributable to common shareholders:
Income from continuing operations	$	0.70	$	0.27
Discontinued operations	—		0.26
Net income	$	0.70	$	0.53
Diluted EPS attributable to common shareholders:
Income from continuing operations	$	0.70	$	0.27
Discontinued operations	—		0.25
Net income	$	0.70	$	0.52

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 Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023	2022
Conversion of common units	1,489	1,384
Conversion of redeemable noncontrolling interests	972	806

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 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 of 398,000 and 399,000, respectively;

•weighted average TB-PIUs for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 of 181,000 and 172,000, respectively; and

•weighted average vested PIUs for the three months ended March 31, 2023 of 103,000.
