5. Net Income Per Common Unit

Basic net income per common unit is computed by dividing net income, after considering income attributable to preferred unitholders, the difference between the fair value of the consideration paid upon redemption and the carrying value of the preferred units and the general partner’s general partner interest, by the weighted average number of common units outstanding. Diluted net income per common unit includes the effect of NRP's preferred units, warrants, and unvested unit-based awards if the inclusion of these items is dilutive.

The dilutive effect of the preferred units is calculated using the if-converted method. Under the if-converted method, the preferred units are assumed to be converted at the beginning of the period, and the resulting common units are included in the denominator of the diluted net income per unit calculation for the period being presented. Distributions declared in the period and undeclared distributions on the preferred units that accumulated during the period are added back to the numerator for purposes of the if-converted calculation. The calculation of diluted net income per common unit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 includes the assumed conversion of the remaining preferred units while it does not include the assumed conversion of the preferred units that were redeemed during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 as the inclusion of these units would be anti-dilutive. The calculation of diluted net income per common unit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 includes the assumed conversion of the preferred units.

The dilutive effect of the warrants is calculated using the treasury stock method, which assumes that the proceeds from the exercise of these instruments are used to purchase common units at the average market price for the period. The calculation of diluted net income per common unit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 includes the net settlement of warrants to purchase 2.19 million common units with a strike price of $34.00. The calculation of diluted net income per common unit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 includes the net settlement of warrants to purchase 0.75 million common units at a strike price of $22.81 and the net settlement of warrants to purchase 2.25 million common units with a strike price of $34.00.

The following table reconciles the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted net income per common unit computations and calculates basic and diluted net income per common unit:
