(1)If applicable, includes a nondiscretionary adjustment for the assumed change in the management fee calculation.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share is the effect of adding back $14.3 million of interest expense, net of a nondiscretionary adjustment for the assumed change in the management fee calculation, and 18,171,150 weighted average common share equivalents related to the assumed conversion of the Company’s convertible senior notes, as their inclusion would be antidilutive.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share is the effect of adding back $14.2 million of interest expense, net of a nondiscretionary adjustment for the assumed change in the management fee calculation, and 18,116,911 weighted average common share equivalents related to the assumed conversion of the Company’s convertible senior notes, as their inclusion would be antidilutive.
