The Company will hold its quarterly conference call today at
Non-GAAP Measures and Other Operational Metrics
Funds from Operations (“FFO”) is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used as a standard in the real estate industry and is a widely accepted measure of REIT performance. The Company believes that both FFO and Operating FFO provide additional indicators of the financial performance of a REIT, more appropriately measure the core operations of the Company, and provide benchmarks to its peer group.
FFO is generally defined and calculated by the Company as net income attributable to Curbline (computed in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in
In calculating the expected range for or amount of net income attributable to Curbline to estimate projected FFO and Operating FFO for future periods, the Company does not include a projection of gains and losses from the disposition of real estate property, potential impairments and reserves of real estate property, debt extinguishment costs and certain transaction costs. Other real estate companies may calculate expected FFO and Operating FFO in a different manner.
The Company also uses net operating income (“NOI”), a non-GAAP financial measure, as a supplemental performance measure. NOI is calculated as property revenues less property-related expenses and excludes depreciation and amortization expense, interest income and expense and corporate level transactions. The Company believes NOI provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level and, when compared across periods, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition and disposition activity on an unleveraged basis.
The Company presents NOI information herein on a same-property basis (“SPNOI”). The Company defines SPNOI as property revenues less property-related expenses, which excludes depreciation and amortization expense, interest income and expense and corporate level transactions, as well as straight-line rental income and reimbursements and expenses, lease termination income, management fee expense and fair market value of leases. SPNOI only includes assets owned for the entirety of both comparable periods. Other real estate companies may calculate NOI and SPNOI in a different manner. The Company believes SPNOI provides investors with additional information regarding the operating performance of comparable assets because it excludes certain non-cash and non-comparable items as noted above.
FFO, Operating FFO, NOI and SPNOI do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as alternatives to net income computed in accordance with GAAP, as indicators of the Company’s operating performance or as alternatives to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures have been provided herein.
The Company calculates Cash Leasing Spreads by comparing the prior tenant's annual base rent in the final year of the prior lease to the executed tenant’s annual base rent in the first year of the executed lease. Straight-Lined Leasing Spreads are calculated by comparing the prior tenant’s average base rent over the prior lease term to the executed tenant’s average base rent over the term of the executed lease. For both Cash and Straight-Lined Leasing Spreads, the reported calculation excludes first generation units and spaces vacant at the time of acquisition and includes all leases for spaces vacant greater than twelve months along with split and combination deals.
