Earnings Per Share [Abstract] |
Earnings Per Common Share | EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE Basic earnings per Common Share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Common Shareholders by the weighted average Common Shares outstanding. At March 31, 2014, the Company has unvested LTIP Units (Note 13) which provide for non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalent payments. Accordingly, these unvested LTIP Units are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of basic earnings per Common Share pursuant to the two-class method. Diluted earnings per Common Share reflects the potential dilution of the conversion of obligations and the assumed exercises of securities including the effects of restricted share unit ("Restricted Share Units") and share option awards issued under the Company's Share Incentive Plans (Note 13). The effect of the assumed conversion of 188 Series A Preferred OP Units into 25,067 Common Shares would be dilutive and therefore are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The effect of the assumed conversion of 188 Series A Preferred OP Units into 25,067 Common Shares would be anti-dilutive and are therefore not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The effect of the conversion of Common OP Units is not reflected in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share, as they are exchangeable for Common Shares on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share. The conversion of the convertible notes payable (Note 9) is not included in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share as such conversion, based on the current market price of the Common Shares, would be settled with cash. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the periods indicated:
