2010 Guidance
The Company currently forecasts an increase in normalized FFO for 2010
from 17.2% to 18.5% compared with 2009. The Company’s guidance range for
the full year 2010 for EPS, FFO and Normalized FFO per share, with
underlying assumptions and timing of certain transactions, is set forth
and reconciled below:
|
|
| |
| | |
Full-Year
2010 Range
|
| | |
Low – High
|
|
Net income per diluted share
| | |
$2.39 - $2.42
|
|
Plus: Real estate depreciation
| | |
0.40 - 0.40
|
| FFO per diluted share | | | $2.79 - $2.82 |
| | |
|
|
Less: One-time items
| | |
(0.06) - (0.06)
|
| Normalized FFO per diluted share | | | $2.73 - $2.76 |
| | |
|
Following are current assumptions reflected in the company’s full-year
2010 guidance for the low and high end of the guidance range:
-
Total investments of $131 million - $150 million for the year, $131
million of which has been completed or committed through September 30,
2010 (assumed for both low and high end).
-
Existing and projected fourth quarter investments are funded through
borrowings on our revolving credit facility (assumed for the high end).
-
Corporate G&A expenses of $8.0 million to $8.5 million (assumed for
both low and high end).
The Company’s guidance range reflects the existence of volatile economic
conditions, but does not assume any material deterioration in tenant
credit quality and/or performance of its portfolio. The guidance is
based on a number of assumptions, many of which are outside the
Company’s control and all of which are subject to change. The Company’s
guidance may change if actual results vary from these assumptions.

|
| (1) Management believes that funds from operations (FFO) is an
important supplemental measure of operating performance for a real
estate investment trust. Because the historical cost accounting
convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line
depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies
that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over
time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen and
fallen with market conditions, presentations of operating results
for a real estate investment trust that uses historical cost
accounting for depreciation could be less informative, and should be
supplemented with a measure such as FFO. The term FFO was designed
by the real estate investment trust industry to address this issue.
Our measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used
by other REITs. Consequently, our funds from operations may not
provide a meaningful measure of our performance as compared to that
of other REITs. Since other REITs may not use our definition of FFO,
caution should be exercised when comparing our Company’s FFO to that
of other REITs. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating
activities in accordance with GAAP (funds from operations does not
include changes in operating assets and liabilities) and therefore
should not be considered an alternative to net earnings as an
indication of operating performance, or to net cash flow from
operating activities as determined by GAAP in the United States, as
a measure of liquidity and is not necessarily indicative of cash
available to fund cash needs. |
|
|
| (2) Normalized FFO excludes from FFO any material one-time items
reflected in GAAP net income. Excluded items may include, but are
not limited to, impairments of assets, gains and losses attributable
to the acquisition and disposition of assets and liabilities, and
recoveries of previous write-downs. |
