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
income or loss determined in accordance with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles ("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 income and
income 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 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 income as an indicator of the Company's
operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows as a
measure of liquidity. In addition to FFO, the Company also
discloses FFO before certain items that affect comparability.
Although this non-GAAP measure clearly differs from NAREIT's
definition of FFO, the Company believes it provides a meaningful
presentation of operating performance. A reconciliation of
net income to FFO is provided above. In addition, a
reconciliation of FFO to FFO before certain items that affect
comparability is provided on page 2 and 3 of this press
release.
