Non-IFRS Financial Measures
Weighted average occupancy rate, FFO, AFFO, rent collections, net operating income margin and debt to gross book value are key measures of performance commonly used by real estate investment trusts. They are not measures recognized under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS. Weighted average leased rate, FFO, AFFO, rent collection for March 2022, net operating income margin and debt to gross book value as calculated by Sun may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Please refer to Sun's Management's Discussion and Analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2022 for reconciliations to standardized IFRS measures.
