DEFINITIONS

Annualized Rental Revenue
Annualized Rental Revenue is annualized contractual rents from our tenants pursuant to leases which have commenced as of March 31, 2019, plus estimated recurring expense reimbursements; excludes lease value amortization, straight line rent adjustments, abated (“free”) rent periods and parking revenue. We calculate annualized rental revenue by aggregating the recurring billings outlined above for the most recent month during the quarter reported, adding abated rent, and multiplying the sum by 12 to provide an estimation of near-term potentially-recurring revenues. The annualized rental revenue of disposed properties is presented for the quarter-ended preceding each disposition.
Annualized rental revenue is a forward-looking non-GAAP measure. Annualized rental revenue cannot be reconciled to a comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts, primarily due to the fact that it is calculated from the billings of tenants in the most recent month at the most recent rental rates during the quarter reported, whereas historical GAAP measures include billings from a potentially different group of tenants over multiple months at potentially different rental rates.
Building Improvements
Building improvements are expenditures to replace obsolete building components or extend the useful life of existing assets.
Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service
Consolidated income available for debt service is earnings from operations excluding interest expense, depreciation and amortization, taxes, and certain items that we view as nonrecurring or impacting comparability from period to period, determined together with debt service on a pro forma basis for the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA), EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre
We calculate EBITDA as net income (loss) excluding interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization.
We calculate EBITDAre in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT). NAREIT defines EBITDAre as net income (loss), calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus interest expense, plus income tax expense, plus depreciation and amortization, plus (minus) losses and gains on the disposition of depreciated property, plus impairment write-downs of depreciated property and investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, plus adjustments to reflect the entity's share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated joint ventures. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDAre differs from our calculations of EBITDA and EBITDAre because we exclude certain items that we view as nonrecurring or impacting comparability from period to period. EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures.
We consider EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre to be appropriate measures of our operating performance, along with net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to EQC common shareholders, and cash flow from operating activities. We believe that EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as interest, depreciation and amortization expense, EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre may facilitate a comparison of current operating performance with our past operating performance. EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to EQC common shareholders, or cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, or as indicators of our financial performance or liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of our needs. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to EQC common shareholders, and cash flow from operating activities as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre differently than we do.
Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre
Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre is Adjusted EBITDAre for the three months ended March 31, 2019 multiplied by four.
Enterprise Value
Enterprise value is net debt plus the market value of our preferred shares plus the market value of our common shares.
Funds from Operations (FFO) and Normalized FFO
We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss), calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding real estate depreciation and amortization, gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable property, impairment of depreciable real estate, and our portion of these items related to equity investees and noncontrolling interests.  Our calculation of Normalized FFO differs from NAREIT’s definition of FFO because we exclude certain items that we view as nonrecurring or impacting comparability from period to period.  FFO and Normalized FFO are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures. We consider FFO and Normalized FFO to be appropriate measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to EQC common shareholders, and cash flow from operating activities.

DEFINITIONS

 
We believe that FFO and Normalized FFO provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation expense, FFO and Normalized FFO may facilitate a comparison of our operating performance between periods and with other REITs.  FFO and Normalized FFO do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to EQC common shareholders, or cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, or as indicators of our financial performance or liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of our needs.  These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to EQC common shareholders, and cash flow from operating activities as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.  Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate FFO and Normalized FFO differently than we do.
Leasing Costs
Leasing costs include leasing commissions (LCs) and related legal expenses.
LTIP Units
LTIP Units are a class of beneficial interests in EQC Operating Trust (the Operating Trust) that may be issued to employees, officers, or trustees of the Operating Trust, EQC, or their subsidiaries.
Net Debt
Net debt is total debt minus cash and cash equivalents.
Net Operating Income (NOI), Same Property NOI, Cash Basis NOI, and Same Property Cash Basis NOI
NOI is income from our real estate including lease termination fees received from tenants less our property operating expenses. NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions and corporate level expenses. Cash Basis NOI is NOI excluding the effects of straight line rent adjustments, lease value amortization, and lease termination fees. The quarter-to-date same property versions of these measures include the results of properties continuously owned from January 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019. Land parcels and properties classified as held for sale within our condensed consolidated balance sheets are excluded from the same property versions of these measures.
We consider these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to be appropriate supplemental measures to net income (loss) because they may help to understand the operations of our properties. We use these measures internally to evaluate property level performance, and we believe that they provide useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because they reflect only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level and may facilitate comparisons of our operating performance between periods and with other REITs. Cash Basis NOI is among the factors considered with respect to acquisition, disposition and financing decisions. These measures do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to Equity Commonwealth common shareholders, or cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, or as indicators of our financial performance or liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of our needs. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to EQC common shareholders, and cash flow from operating activities as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate these measures differently than we do.
