Our distributions earned with respect to a given period are declared subsequent to quarter end. Therefore, the table below represents total cash distributions applicable to the period in which the distributions are earned. The expected date of distribution for the distributions earned during the period ended September 30, 2017 is November 14, 2017. The calculation of net income per unit is as follows (dollars in thousands, except units and per unit amounts):

⁽¹⁾General partner distributions (including IDRs) consist of the 2% general partner interest and IDRs, which represent the right of the general partner to receive increasing percentages of quarterly distributions of available cash from operating surplus in excess of $0.43125 per unit per quarter. See Note 8 for further discussion related to IDRs.

⁽²⁾ We base our calculation of net income per unit on the weighted-average number of common and subordinated limited partner units outstanding during the period. The weighted-average number of common and subordinated units reflects the conversion of the subordinated units to common units on February 25, 2016.

⁽³⁾ On February 25, 2016, each of the Partnership's 11,999,258 outstanding subordinated units converted into common units and began participating pro rata with the other common units in distributions of available cash. Distributions and the Partnership's net income were allocated to the subordinated units through February 24, 2016.

⁽⁴⁾ Outstanding common unit equivalents totaling 10,090 were excluded from the diluted earnings per unit calculation for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. There were no outstanding common unit equivalents excluded from the diluted earnings per unit calculation for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Outstanding common unit equivalents of 6,540 were excluded from the diluted earnings per unit calculation for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, as these common unit equivalents did not have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method.
