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 net
earnings determined in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”),
excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains
or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating
real estate assets, plus specified non-cash items, such as
real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after
adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
FFO and FFO per diluted share are used by management, investors
and industry analysts as supplemental measures of operating
performance of equity REITs. FFO and FFO per diluted share
should be evaluated along with GAAP net earnings and earnings
per diluted share (the most directly comparable GAAP measures),
as well as cash flow from operating activities, investing
activities and financing activities, in evaluating the operating
performance of equity REITs. Management believes that FFO
and FFO per diluted share are helpful to investors as supplemental
performance measures because these measures exclude the effect
of depreciation, amortization and gains or losses from sales
of depreciable real estate, all of which are based on historical
costs which implicitly assumes that the value of real estate
diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values
instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions,
these non-GAAP measures can facilitate comparisons of operating
performance between periods and among other equity REITs.
FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities
in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative
of cash available to fund cash needs as disclosed in the
Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.
FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings
as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance
or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
