Earnings Per Share

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2018

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share is calculated based on income from continuing and discontinued operations less any income attributable to noncontrolling interests and cumulative preferred stock dividends. Prior to completion of the Merger in 2016, income attributable to noncontrolling interests represented third-party limited partner unitholders' interests in the earnings of our consolidated subsidiary, Rose Rock. Rose Rock allocated net income to its limited partners based on the distributions pertaining to the current period's available cash as defined by Rose Rock's partnership agreement. After adjusting for the appropriate period's distributions, the remaining undistributed earnings or excess distributions over earnings, if any, were allocated to Rose Rock's general partner, limited partners and participating securities in accordance with the contractual terms of Rose Rock's partnership agreement and as further prescribed under the two-class method. Incentive distribution rights did not participate in undistributed earnings. Subsequent to the Merger, there is no longer a noncontrolling interest for Rose Rock. In 2018, Maurepas Pipeline, LLC, a subsidiary of SemGroup, sold Class B shares representing a 49% interest in the form of Class B shares of Maurepas Pipeline, LLC. The Class B shares provide for a monthly preference on Maurepas Pipeline, LLC distributions and are reported as a noncontrolling interest.

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share includes the dilutive effect of unvested equity compensation awards and the potential conversion of preferred stock, if dilutive.
