Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Schedule of basic and diluted net income per common unit

Basic and diluted earnings per common unit is calculated using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation proportional to the respective ownership among holders of common units and participating securities. Basic earnings per common unit is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common units outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common unit also considers the dilutive effect of unvested common units granted under the LTIP, calculated using the treasury stock method.

(1) Distribution equivalent rights granted to employees are considered participating securities.

(2) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, no potential common units were included in the computation of diluted earnings per unit because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method for the periods presented. However, such potential common units could dilute basic earnings per unit in future periods.
