Earnings Per Share [Abstract] |
Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) and Earnings Per Unit (“EPU”) | Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) and Earnings Per Unit (“EPU”) COPT and Subsidiaries 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 COPT common shares were converted; and (2) the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period attributable to share-based compensation using the treasury stock or if-converted 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 added 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,
|  | 2015 |  | 2014 |  | 2013
Conversion of common units |  | — |  |  | 3,897 |  |  | 3,869 |

Conversion of Series K preferred shares |  | 434 |  |  | 434 |  |  | 434 |
The following share-based compensation securities were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because their effect was antidilutive:
• | weighted average restricted shares and deferred share awards of 410,000 for 2015, 401,000 for 2014 and 385,000 for 2013; and
• | weighted average options of 469,000 for 2015, 492,000 for 2014 and 636,000 for 2013, respectively.
As discussed in Note 10, we had outstanding senior notes with an exchange settlement feature, but such notes did not affect our diluted EPS reported above since the weighted average closing price of COPT’s common shares during each of the periods was less than the exchange prices per common share applicable for such periods. COPLP and Subsidiaries EPU We present both basic and diluted EPU. We compute basic EPU by dividing net income available to common unitholders allocable to unrestricted common units under the two-class method by the weighted average number of unrestricted common units outstanding during the period. Our computation of diluted EPU is similar except that:
• | the denominator is increased to include: (1) the weighted average number of potential additional common units that would have been outstanding if securities that are convertible into our common units were converted; and (2) the effect of dilutive potential common units outstanding during the period attributable to share-based compensation using the treasury stock or if-converted methods; and
• | the numerator is adjusted to add back any changes in income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion into common units that we added to the denominator.
