EARNINGS PER SHARE AND UNIT
Urban Edge Earnings per Share We have calculated earnings per share (“EPS”) under the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation methodology whereby EPS for each class of Urban Edge common shares and participating securities is calculated according to dividends declared and participating rights in undistributed earnings. Restricted shares issued pursuant to our share-based compensation program are considered participating securities, and as such have non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends. The following table sets forth the computation of our basic and diluted earnings per share: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Three Months Ended September 30, | | Nine Months Ended September 30, | (Amounts in thousands, except per share amounts) | 2016 | | 2015 | | 2016 | | 2015 | Numerator: | | | | | | | | Net income attributable to common shareholders | $ | 19,265 |

(1) For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 and the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the effect of the redemption of OP and LTIP units would have an anti-dilutive effect on the calculation of diluted EPS. Accordingly, the impact of such conversion has not been included in the determination of diluted EPS for these periods. Additionally there were stock options outstanding that were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
