FFO is computed in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board
of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment
Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss
adjusted to exclude net gain from sales of depreciated real estate
assets, real estate impairment losses, depreciation and amortization
expense from real estate assets, extraordinary items and other specified
non-cash items, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of
unconsolidated subsidiaries. FFO and FFO per diluted share are non-GAAP
financial measures used by management, investors and analysts to
facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between
periods and among our peers because it excludes the effect of real
estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are
based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real
estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based
on existing market conditions. FFO does not represent cash generated
from operating activities and is not necessarily indicative of cash
available to fund cash requirements and should not be considered as an
alternative to net income as a performance measure or cash flow as a
liquidity measure. FFO may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures employed by other companies. A reconciliation of our net income
to FFO is provided above. In addition to FFO, we also disclose FFO
before certain items that affect comparability. Although this non-GAAP
measure clearly differs from NAREIT’s definition of FFO, we believe it
provides a meaningful presentation of operating performance.
Reconciliations of FFO to FFO as adjusted for comparability is provided
on page 1 of this press release.
