Net Income Per Common Limited Partner Unit

Note 22. Net Income Per Common Limited Partner Unit

Under the Partnership’s partnership agreement, for any quarterly period, the incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”) participate in net income only to the extent of the amount of cash distributions actually declared, thereby excluding the IDRs from participating in the Partnership’s undistributed net income or losses. Accordingly, the Partnership’s undistributed net income or losses is assumed to be allocated to the common unitholders and to the General Partner’s general partner interest.

Common units outstanding as reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2024 and 2023 excludes 327,307 and 113,206 common units, respectively, held on behalf of the Partnership pursuant to its repurchase program (see Note 19). These units are not deemed outstanding for purposes of calculating net income per common limited partner unit (basic and diluted). For all years presented below, the Partnership’s preferred units are not potentially dilutive securities based on the nature of the conversion feature.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net income and the assumed allocation of net income to the common limited partners (after deducting amounts allocated to preferred unitholders) for purposes of computing net income per common limited partner unit for the years presented (in thousands, except per unit data):
