EARNINGS PER SHARE

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2022

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares of beneficial interest (“common shares”) outstanding during the period. Centerspace has issued restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and incentive stock options (“ISOs”) under the 2015 Incentive Plan, Series D Convertible Preferred Units (“Series D preferred units”), and Series E Convertible Preferred Units (“Series E preferred units”), which could have a dilutive effect on the earnings per share upon exercise of the RSUs or ISOs or upon conversion of the Series D or Series E preferred units (refer to Note 4 for further discussion of the Series D and the Series E preferred units). Other than the issuance of RSUs, ISOs, Series D preferred units, and Series E preferred units, there are no outstanding options, warrants, convertible stock or other contractual obligations requiring issuance of additional shares that would result in dilution of earnings. Under the terms of the Operating Partnership’s Agreement of Limited Partnership, limited partners have the right to require the Operating Partnership to redeem their limited partnership units (“Units”) any time following the first anniversary of the date they acquired such Units (“Exchange Right”). Upon the exercise of Exchange Rights, and in Centerspace’s sole discretion, it may issue common shares in exchange for Units on a one-for-one basis.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, performance-based RSUs of 33,000 and 46,000, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, operating partnership units of 965,000, Series D preferred units of 228,000, Series E preferred units of 2.2 million, time-based RSUs of 14,000, and weighted average stock options of 52,000, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, Series D preferred units of 228,000, time-based RSUs of 19,000, and weighted average stock options of 44,000, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.
