Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings per share EARNINGS PER SHAREWe grant two types of restricted stock awards: (i) restricted stock awards with nonforfeitable dividends and (ii) restricted stock
awards with forfeitable dividends.
Unvested restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) with nonforfeitable dividends are considered participating securities and included in
the computation of EPS using the two-class method. Under this method, we allocate net income (after amounts attributable to
noncontrolling interests) to common stockholders and these RSAs by using the weighted-average shares of each class outstanding for
quarter-to-date and year-to-date periods independently, based on their respective participation rights to dividends declared (or
accumulated) and undistributed earnings.
Unvested RSAs with forfeitable dividends do not qualify as participating securities under the two-class method because the
dividends are forfeited if the awards do not vest. As a result, undistributed earnings are not allocated to these awards prior to vesting,
and these awards have no effect on the computation of basic EPS while unvested. Once these awards vest, they are included in the
denominator of basic EPS, weighted for the portion of the reporting period they were vested. Prior to vesting, these awards are included
in the denominator of diluted EPS if they are dilutive, which is determined using the treasury stock method. Under this method,
incremental shares are calculated as the difference between the total unvested shares and the number of shares that could
hypothetically be repurchased using the assumed proceeds (including unrecognized compensation cost related to these awards).
These incremental shares are weighted for the portion of the reporting period they were unvested and are included in the diluted EPS
denominator only if their inclusion reduces EPS (i.e., if they are not antidilutive).
In addition, from time to time, we enter into forward equity sales agreements. We consider the potential dilution resulting from
the forward equity sales agreements on the EPS calculations. At inception, the agreements do not have an effect on the computation of
basic EPS as no shares are delivered until settlement. The common shares issued upon the settlement of the forward equity sales
agreements, weighted for the period these common shares were outstanding, are included in the denominator of basic EPS. To
determine the dilution resulting from the forward equity sales agreements during the period of time prior to settlement, we calculate the
number of weighted-average shares outstanding – diluted using the treasury stock method. As of September 30, 2026, no forward
equity sales agreements were outstanding.
The table below reconciles the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands, except per share amounts):
