Footnotes to Unaudited Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Notes:
(1) This report contains measures of financial or operating performance
that are not specifically defined by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), including funds from
operations (“FFO”), FFO as adjusted, FFO per share and FFO as
adjusted per share. FFO is a performance measure that is standard in
the REIT business. We believe FFO provides investors with additional
information concerning our operating performance and a basis to
compare our performance with those of other REITs. We also use these
measures internally to monitor the operating performance of our
portfolio. As adjusted measures exclude the effect of certain
non-cash impairment and debt-related charges. We believe these
measures provide investors with a basis to compare our current
operating performance with previous periods in which we did not have
those charges. Our computation of these non-GAAP measures may not be
the same as similar measures reported by other REITs.
The Company determines FFO based upon the definition set forth by the
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). The
Company determines FFO to be our share of consolidated net income
computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding real estate related
depreciation and amortization, excluding gains and losses from
extraordinary items, excluding gains and losses from the sales of
previously depreciated operating properties, plus the allocable
portion of FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures based upon economic
ownership interest, and all determined on a consistent basis in
accordance with GAAP.
The Company has adopted NAREIT's clarification of the definition of
FFO that requires it to include the effects of nonrecurring items not
classified as extraordinary, cumulative effect of accounting changes,
or a gain or loss resulting from the sale of previously depreciated
operating properties. We include in FFO gains and losses realized
from the sale of land, outlot buildings, marketable and
non-marketable securities, and investment holdings of non-retail real
estate. However, you should understand that FFO does not represent
cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, should not be
considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance
with GAAP as a measure of operating performance, and is not an
alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
(2) Includes the Company's share of gains on land sales of $0.1 million
and $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and
2010, respectively, and $4.5 million and $4.1 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
(3) Includes the Company's share of straight-line adjustments to minimum
rent of $10.8 million and $9.7 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $26.2 million and
$23.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010,
respectively.
(4) Includes the Company's share of the amortization of fair market value
of leases from acquisitions of $6.0 million and $5.0 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and
$17.7 million and $14.8 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
(5) Includes the Company's share of debt premium amortization of $2.3
million and $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30,
2011 and 2010, respectively, and $7.0 million and $9.4 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
(6) Includes dividends and distributions on Series I preferred stock and
Series I preferred units. All outstanding shares of Series I
