Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings per Share Earnings per Share
The Company calculates its basic and diluted earnings per share using the two-class method for all periods presented, which defines unvested stock-based compensation awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends as participating securities. The two-class method is an allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each share of common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Under this method, all earnings (distributed and undistributed) are allocated to common shares and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends. The unvested restricted shares of the Company's common stock granted to certain current and former employees of affiliates of the Manager and affiliates of the Manager qualify as participating securities. These restricted shares have the same rights as the Company’s other shares of common stock, including participating in any dividends, and therefore are included in the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share calculation. For the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of common stock dividends declared and undistributed net income attributable to common stockholders were allocated to unvested shares of our common stock pursuant to stock grants made under the Company’s Incentive Plans. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, $1.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of common stock dividends declared and undistributed net income attributable to common stockholders were allocated to unvested shares of our common stock pursuant to stock grants made under the Company’s Incentive Plans. See Note 13 for details.
The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of participating securities outstanding.
The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (dollars in thousands, except share and per share data):
