Reconciliation of Funds From Operations (“FFO”)
FFO is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance that is not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with US GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time as evidenced by the provision for depreciation. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient. In response, National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (or NAREIT) created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that exclude historical cost depreciation from net income. We define FFO as net income available to common stockholders adjusted to exclude the gains or losses on the sale of assets and adjusted to add back impairment charges, real estate depreciation and other non-cash charges. Other REITs may not use this definition of FFO and therefore, caution should be exercised when comparing our company’s FFO to that of other REITs. FFO is used in the REIT industry as a supplemental measure of operating performance, but is not a substitute for net income per share available to common stockholders determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
