We use the equity method to account for our equity interest in joint ventures. The income of these joint ventures is not consolidated into our financial statements; rather, our proportionate share of the earnings is reflected as equity income.

There have been no ownership changes in our joint ventures since December 31, 2021. The following table presents certain aggregated operating data of our joint ventures:
