NON-GAAP DISCLOSURES
Funds from operations (“FFO”), is a widely
recognized non-GAAP financial measure for REITs that the Company
believes when considered with financial statements presented in
accordance with GAAP, provides additional and useful means to
assess its financial performance. FFO is frequently used by
securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to
evaluate the performance of REITs, most of which present FFO along
with net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP. The
Company computes FFO in accordance with the “White Paper” on FFO
published by the National Association of Real Estate Investment
Trusts (“NAREIT”), which defines FFO as net income attributable to
common stockholders (determined in accordance with GAAP) excluding
gains or losses from debt restructuring, sales of depreciable
property and impairments, plus real estate related depreciation and
amortization, and after adjustments for partnerships and
unconsolidated joint ventures.
The Company uses cash net operating income
(“NOI”) internally to evaluate and compare the operating
performance of the Company’s properties. The Company believes
cash NOI provides useful information to investors regarding the
Company’s financial condition and results of operations because it
reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at
the property level, and when compared across periods, can be used
to determine trends in earnings of the Company’s properties as this
measure is not affected by the non-cash revenue and expense
recognition items, the cost of the Company’s funding, the impact of
depreciation and amortization expenses, gains or losses from the
acquisition and sale of operating real estate assets, general and
administrative expenses or other gains and losses that relate to
the Company’s ownership of properties. The Company believes
the exclusion of these items from operating income is useful
because the resulting measure captures the actual revenue generated
and actual expenses incurred in operating the Company’s properties
as well as trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating
costs. Cash NOI is a measure of the operating performance of
the Company’s properties but does not measure the Company’s
performance as a whole and is therefore not a substitute for net
income or operating income as computed in accordance with
GAAP. The Company defines cash NOI as operating revenues
(base rent and recoveries from tenants), less property and related
expenses (property operating expenses and property taxes), adjusted
for non-cash revenue and operating expense items such as
straight-line rent and amortization of lease intangibles,
debt-related expenses and other adjustments. Cash NOI also
excludes general and administrative expenses, depreciation and
amortization, acquisition transaction costs, other expense,
interest expense, gains and losses from property acquisitions and
dispositions, extraordinary items, tenant improvements and leasing
commissions. Other REITs may use different methodologies for
calculating cash NOI, and accordingly, the Company’s cash NOI may
not be comparable to other REITs.
