Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Net Income per Common Share Net Income per Common Share
We allocate net income to (i) noncontrolling interests based upon their contractual rights in the respective subsidiaries or for participating noncontrolling interests based upon their participation in both distributed and undistributed earnings of the Company, (ii) preferred shareholders, for distributions paid or payable, (iii) preferred shareholders, to the extent redemption cost exceeds the related original net issuance proceeds (a “preferred share redemption charge”), and (iv) RSUs and unvested LTIP units, for non-forfeitable dividends and distributions paid and adjusted for participation rights in undistributed earnings of the Company.
We calculate basic net income per common share based upon net income allocable to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average common shares. For diluted net income per common share, net income allocable to common shareholders is adjusted to add back the dilutive effects of if-converted noncontrolling interest shares, divided by the weighted-average common shares adjusted for the impact of dilutive stock options, shares and OP Units subject to earnout provisions when the applicable contingency or performance conditions have been met, OP Options, AO LTIP units, Forward ATM Offerings, and the assumed conversion of noncontrolling interest shares under the if-converted method when their effect is dilutive. Stock options, OP Options, AO LTIP units and Forward ATM Offerings equivalent to 3,379,227 common shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to 572,130 common shares for the same period in 2025, because their effect would have been antidilutive.
The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted net income per common shares computation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively:
