Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
($ in millions except per share amount) |
||
“Cash Generated for Distribution or Investment” (CGFDI) is a non-GAAP measure, which management believes assists investors by providing insight into the cash generated by the Company that management has available for distribution to shareholders or for reinvestment into the business. This measure is calculated by adding “Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities”, “Expenditures for and Acquisition of Real Estate to Be Sold”, and “Capital Distributions from Unconsolidated Joint Ventures” and subtracting “Capital Distributions to Non-Controlling Interest”, “Principal Payments for Debt and Finance Leases”, and “Maintenance Capital Expenditures”. Maintenance Capital Expenditures are intended to show capital expenditures made to maintain the value and/or revenue generating capacity of existing operating assets. CGFDI should not be considered an alternative to “Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities” determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of the Company’s cash flows and liquidity position. |
