Phantom units are considered participating securities for purposes of computing basic earnings per unit. See Note 13 for information regarding the phantom units.
[2] We use the “if-converted method” to determine the potential dilutive effect of the vesting of phantom units and the conversion of preferred units outstanding.  See Note 8 for information regarding the preferred units issued on September 30, 2020.  Since the preferred units were issued on the last day of the third quarter of 2020, their weighted-average dilutive impact on earnings per unit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was negligible.
