Forward Looking Statements

 

Some of the statements contained in this document constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In particular, statements pertaining to the Company’s capital resources, portfolio performance, results of operations, anticipated growth in our funds from operations and anticipated market conditions contain forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” or “potential” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. You also can identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions.

 

The forward-looking statements contained in this document reflect the Company’s current views about future events and are subject to numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and changes in circumstances that may cause actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. The Company does not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements: adverse economic or real estate developments in the Company’s markets or the technology industry; obsolescence or reduction in marketability of our infrastructure due to changing industry demands; global, national and local economic conditions; risks related to our international operations; difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and completing acquisitions; the Company’s failure to successfully develop, redevelop and operate acquired properties or lines of business; significant increases in construction and development costs; the increasingly competitive environment in which the Company operates; defaults on, or termination or non-renewal of, leases by customers; decreased rental rates or increased vacancy rates; increased interest rates and operating costs, including increased energy costs; financing risks, including the Company’s failure to obtain necessary outside financing; dependence on third parties to provide Internet, telecommunications and network connectivity to the Company’s data centers; the Company’s failure to qualify and maintain its qualification as a real estate investment trust; environmental uncertainties and risks related to natural disasters; financial market fluctuations; changes in real estate and zoning laws, revaluations for tax purposes and increases in real property tax rates; and limitations inherent in our current and any future joint venture investments, such as lack of sole decision-making authority and reliance on our partners’ financial condition.  

 

While forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they were made. The Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, of new information, data or methods, future events or other changes. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could cause the Company’s future results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and other periodic reports the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Pursuant to the Company’s adoption of ASC 842 “Leases” on January 1, 2019 and to remain consistent with revenue presentation across the industry, historical revenue categories have been reclassified to conform to current presentation of two categories.  The new categories incorporate a reclassification of straight line rent from the “Other” line item into the “Rental” line item, a reclassification of “Recoveries from Customers” from its own line item into the “Rental” line item and a combination of the “Cloud and managed services” and “Other” line items into a single “Other” line item.

Straight line rent was $1.0 million, $1.5 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019,  March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively, and $2.5 million and $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

(3)

Includes revenue from managed services, sales of scrap metals and other unused materials and various other revenue items.  

(4)

(5)

Summary of Financial Data

 

 

(unaudited and in thousands, except operating portfolio statistics data and per share data)

 

This summary includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that management believes are helpful in understanding the Company’s business as further described in the Appendix. The Company does not, nor does it suggest investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP financial information or as an expectation of future performance of the Company’s business. The Company believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that is indicative of the Company’s current operations and its business. The Company has included a reconciliation of this additional information to the most comparable GAAP measure in the selected financial information below.

The Company is reaffirming its Revenue guidance range for 2019 of $461 million to $475 million which assumes annual rental churn as previously announced of between 3% and 6%. The Company is also reaffirming its Adjusted EBITDA guidance range for 2019 of $243.5 million to $253.5 million and reaffirming its Operating FFO per fully diluted share guidance range for 2019 of $2.61 per share to $2.71 per share.

 

The Company’s 2019 guidance includes the effects of the joint venture, which is reflected as an unconsolidated joint venture on QTS’ reported financial statements. Consistent with GAAP accounting standards, revenue from the unconsolidated joint venture is removed from QTS’ reported GAAP financial statements. Also consistent with GAAP accounting and NAREIT-defined standards, QTS includes its proportionate ownership of EBITDAre and Funds from Operations from the joint venture in its reported EBITDAre and Funds from Operations results, respectively.

 

QTS does not provide reconciliations for the non-GAAP financial measures included in its guidance provided above due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including net income (loss) and adjustments that could be made for restructuring costs, transaction costs, lease exit costs, asset impairments and loss on disposals and other charges as those amounts are subject to significant variability based on future transactions that are not yet known, the amount of which, based on historical experience, could be significant.

Reconciliations of Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)

 

(unaudited and in thousands)

 

Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”) is a non-GAAP measure that provides additional information to users of the financial statements. Management believes ROIC is a helpful metric for users of the financial statements to gauge the Company's performance of its business against the capital it has invested in the business.

Development Costs Summary

 

(in millions, except NRSF data)

 

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company brought online approximately three megawatts of gross power and approximately 19,000 net rentable square feet (“NRSF”) of raised floor and customer specific capital at its Fort Worth facility at an aggregate cost of approximately $25 million.  

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company brought online approximately 9 megawatts of gross power and approximately 47,000 NRSF of raised floor and customer specific capital at its Forth Worth, Atlanta-Metro, Chicago, Santa Clara, and Ashburn facilities at an aggregate cost of approximately $61 million. 

 

Additionally, the Company brought online the first phase at its Manassas facility in the first quarter of 2019 just prior to its contribution to the joint venture, representing approximately five megawatts of gross power and approximately 11,000 NRSF of raised floor at an aggregate cost of approximately $60 million. The joint venture also brought online the second phase at the Manassas facility during the second quarter of 2019 representing approximately 4 megawatts of gross power and approximately 11,000 NRSF of raised floor at an aggregate cost of approximately $23 million at the joint venture’s 100% share, of which the Company’s pro rata share was approximately $11 million.  The joint venture intends to bring additional space and power into service as incremental development at the Manassas facility takes place and future phases are delivered to the customer.

NOI by Facility and Capital Expenditure Summary

 

(unaudited and in thousands)

 

The Company calculates net operating income, or NOI, as net income (loss), excluding: interest expense, interest income, tax expense (benefit) of taxable REIT subsidiaries, depreciation and amortization, write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, transaction and integration costs, gain (loss) on sale of real estate, restructuring costs and general and administrative expenses. The Company believes that NOI is another metric that is often utilized to evaluate returns on operating real estate from period to period and also, in part, to assess the value of the operating real estate.

Leasing Statistics – Signed Leases

 

 

Incremental Annualized Rent, Net of Downgrades reflects net incremental MRR signed during the period for purposes of tracking incremental revenue contribution. The amounts below include renewals when there was a change in square footage rented, but exclude renewals where square footage remained consistent before and after renewal. (See renewal table on page 17 for such renewals). The amounts below include results of the consolidated business, as no leases were signed during the first or second quarter of 2019 associated with the unconsolidated joint venture. Any leasing activity in the future associated with the unconsolidated joint venture will be reported at QTS’ 50% pro rata share of the JV.

 

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company entered into  404 new and modified leases aggregating to $19.6 million of incremental annualized rent. The Company’s second quarter leasing performance was driven by continued strong performance in its hybrid colocation product offering and continued expansions by strategic hyperscale customers including the signing of a 5+ megawatt, multi-site lease with a  hyperscale customer supporting a large federal program. The pricing on new and modified leases signed varies quarter to quarter based on the mix of deals leased, as hyperscale and hybrid colocation vary on a rate per square foot basis. Annualized rent per leased square foot is computed using the total rent associated with all new and modified leases for the respective periods.

Of the $68.1 million annualized BNB revenue, approximately $0.3 million related to QTS’s pro rata share.

(2)

Incremental revenue represents the expected amount of recognized MRR for the business in the period based on when the booked-not-billed leases commence throughout the period. 

(3)

Annualized revenue represents the booked-not-billed MRR multiplied by 12, demonstrating how much recognized MRR might have been recognized if the booked-not-billed leases commencing in the period were in place for an entire year.

(4)

As of June 30, 2019, annualized BNB revenue on a GAAP basis (which represents recurring GAAP revenue for executed leases achieved upon full occupancy which have not commenced) was $45.3 million, of which $20.4 million was attributable to 2019, $8.8 million was attributable to 2020, and $16.2 million was attributable to years thereafter.

 

The Company estimates the remaining cost to provide the space, power, connectivity and other services to the customer contracts which had not billed as of June 30, 2019 to be approximately $100 million. This estimate generally includes customers with newly contracted space of more than 3,300 square feet of raised floor space. The space, power, connectivity and other services provided to customers that contract for smaller amounts of space is generally provided by existing space which was previously developed.

Leasing Statistics – Renewed Leases and Rental Churn 

 

 

The mix of leasing activity has a significant impact on quarterly rates, both within major product segments and for overall blended renewal rates. The Company’s rate performance will vary quarter to quarter based on the mix of deals leased as hyperscale and hybrid colocation vary on a rate per square foot basis.

 

Consistent with the Company’s strategy and business model, the renewal rates below reflect total MRR per square foot including all subscribed services. For comparability, the Company includes only those customers that have maintained consistent space footprints in the computations below. All customers with space changes are incorporated into new/modified leasing statistics and rates. The amounts below include results of the consolidated business, as no leases were renewed in the first or second quarter of 2019 associated with the unconsolidated joint venture. Any leasing activity in the future associated with the unconsolidated joint venture will be reported at QTS’ 50% pro rata share of the JV.

 

The overall blended rate for renewals signed in the second quarter of 2019 was 1.2% higher than the rates for those customers immediately prior to renewal, which is consistent with the Company’s expectation that renewal rates will generally increase in the low to mid-single digits.

 

Rental Churn (which the Company defines as MRR lost in the period to a customer intending to fully exit the QTS platform in the near term compared to total MRR at the beginning of the period) was 1.0% for the second quarter of 2019.  Rental Churn was 2.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

*       Average of prior 4 quarters

**     The decline in the renewal rate of 6.0% was largely due to three customers that signed commitments to significantly expand their respective footprints elsewhere in QTS’ footprint in addition to slight changes in their product mix, the net of which increased QTS’ MRR from these customers by 18%. If the lease renewals from these three customers were excluded from the renewal base, QTS’ renewal rates on a per square foot basis would have represented a 2.3% increase relative to the pre-renewal rate.

(1)

Calculated as the percentage change of the rent per square foot immediately before renewal when compared to the rent per square foot immediately after renewal.

(2)

All statistics for the periods ending on or prior to December 31, 2018 include leases of Core products only. See the Appendix for a more detailed description of the Core business.

Lease Expirations

 

 

Hyperscale leases are typically 5-10 years with the majority of hyperscale lease expirations occurring in 2022 and beyond. Hybrid colocation leases are typically 3 years in duration, with the majority of hybrid colocation lease expirations occurring between 2019 and 2021. The following table sets forth a summary schedule of the lease expirations as of June 30, 2019. Unless otherwise stated in the footnotes, the information set forth in the table assumes that customers exercise no renewal options and all early termination rights are exercised.  

 

Note: The table below includes the Company’s pro rata share of leases associated with the unconsolidated joint venture. QTS’s pro rata share of the JV is 50%. In addition, the table below has been calculated pro forma for the effects of two hyperscale anchor tenants’ lease renewals that were signed but not yet commenced as of June 30, 2019. As such, the annualized rent does not reconcile to reported annualized MRR in other sections of this document.

Represents each agreement with a customer signed as of June 30, 2019 for which billing has commenced; a lease agreement could include multiple spaces and a customer could have multiple leases. 

(2)

The Company defines annualized rent as MRR multiplied by 12. The Company calculates MRR as monthly contractual revenue under executed contracts as of a particular date, but excludes customer recoveries, deferred set up fees, variable related revenues, non-cash revenues and other one-time revenues. MRR does not include the impact from booked-not-billed contracts as of a particular date, unless otherwise specifically noted. This amount reflects the annualized cash rental payments.

(3)

Consists of both customer leases whose original contract terms ended on June 30, 2019 and have yet to commence signed renewals, as well as customers whose leases expired prior to June 30, 2019 and have continued on a month-to-month basis.

Annualized rent is presented for leases commenced as of June 30, 2019. We define annualized rent as MRR multiplied by 12. We calculate MRR as monthly contractual revenue under signed leases as of a particular date, but excludes customer recoveries, deferred set-up fees, variable related revenues, non-cash revenues and other one-time revenues. MRR does not include the impact from booked-not-billed leases (which represent customer leases that have been executed but for which lease payments have not commenced) as of a particular date. This amount reflects the annualized cash rental payments. It does not reflect any free rent, rent abatements or future scheduled rent increases and also excludes operating expense and power reimbursements.

(2)

Weighted average based on customer’s percentage of total annualized rent expiring and is as of June 30, 2019.

Appendix

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This document includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that management believes are helpful in understanding the Company’s business, as further described below.

 

The Company considers the following non-GAAP financial measures to be useful to investors as key supplemental measures of the Company’s performance: (1) Revenue; (2) FFO, Operating FFO and Adjusted Operating FFO;  (3) MRR and Recognized MRR; (4) NOI; and (5) EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss and cash flows from operating activities as a measure of the Company’s operating performance. Revenue, FFO, Operating FFO, Adjusted Operating FFO, MRR, NOI, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated by us may not be comparable to FFO, Operating FFO, Adjusted Operating FFO, MRR, NOI, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as reported by other companies that do not use the same definition or implementation guidelines or interpret the standards differently from us.

 

Definitions

 

Booked-not-billed (“BNB”). The Company defines booked-not-billed as customer leases that have been signed, but for which lease payments have not yet commenced.

 

Core. The Core business consists primarily of the Company’s hyperscale and hybrid colocation business, along with technology and services revenue from the Company’s cloud and managed services business that supports  hyperscale and hybrid colocation customers. Core financial measures and operating statistics represent the financial results or operating statistics, as applicable, of the Company’s Core business. The Company disposed of its “Non-Core” business (i.e., business other than the Core business) over the course of 2018, ending in the fourth quarter of 2018, following the Company’s announcement of its strategic growth plan in the first quarter of 2018.

 

Leasable raised floor. The Company defines leasable raised floor as the amount of raised floor square footage that the Company has leased plus the available capacity of raised floor square footage that is in a leasable format as of a particular date and according to a particular product configuration. The amount of leasable raised floor may change even without completion of new development projects due to changes in the Company’s configuration of product space.

 

Non-Core. Non-Core represents the portion of the Company’s business that the Company exited in accordance with its strategic growth plan announced in the first quarter of 2018 and completed in the fourth quarter of 2018.

FFO, Operating FFO, and Adjusted Operating FFO

 

The Company considers funds from operations (“FFO”), to be a supplemental measure of its performance which should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income (loss) and cash provided by operating activities as a measure of operating performance. The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), adjusted to exclude gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable real estate and land related to its primary business, impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate and land related to its primary business, real estate-related depreciation and amortization and similar adjustments for unconsolidated entities. To the extent the Company incurs gains or losses from the sale of assets that are incidental to its primary business, or incurs impairment write-downs associated with assets that are incidental to its primary business, it includes such charges in its calculation of FFO. The Company’s management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate-related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs.

 

Due to the volatility and nature of certain significant charges and gains recorded in the Company’s operating results that management believes are not reflective of its operating performance, management computes an adjusted measure of FFO, which the Company refers to as Operating funds from operations (“Operating FFO”). Operating FFO is a non-GAAP measure that is used as a supplemental operating measure and to provide additional information to users of the financial statements. The Company generally calculates Operating FFO as FFO excluding certain non-routine charges and gains and losses that management believes are not indicative of the results of the Company’s operating real estate portfolio. The Company believes that Operating FFO provides investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and, to the extent they calculate Operating FFO on a comparable basis, between REITs.

 

Adjusted Operating Funds From Operations (“Adjusted Operating FFO”) is a non-GAAP measure that is used as a supplemental operating measure and to provide additional information to users of the financial statements. The Company calculates Adjusted Operating FFO by adding or subtracting from Operating FFO items such as: maintenance capital investment, paid leasing commissions, amortization of deferred financing costs, non-real estate depreciation and amortization, straight line rent adjustments, income taxes, non-cash compensation and similar adjustments for unconsolidated entities.

 

The Company offers these measures because it recognizes that FFO, Operating FFO and Adjusted Operating FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare its operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO, Operating FFO and Adjusted Operating FFO exclude real estate depreciation and amortization and capture neither the changes in the value of the Company’s properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and capitalized leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of its properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact its financial condition, cash flows and results of operations, the utility of FFO, Operating FFO and Adjusted Operating FFO as measures of its operating performance is limited. The Company’s calculation of FFO may not be comparable to measures calculated by other companies who do not use the NAREIT definition of FFO or do not calculate FFO in accordance with NAREIT guidance. In addition, the Company’s calculations of FFO, Operating FFO and Adjusted Operating FFO are not necessarily comparable to FFO, Operating FFO and Adjusted Operating FFO as calculated by other REITs that do not use the same definition or implementation guidelines or interpret the standards differently from us. FFO, Operating FFO and Adjusted Operating FFO are non-GAAP measures and should not be considered a measure of the Company’s results of operations or liquidity or as a substitute for, or an alternative to, net income (loss), cash provided by operating activities or any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund its cash needs, including its ability to make distributions to its stockholders.

 

For periods in 2018, Core Operating FFO and Adjusted Core Operating FFO represent Operating FFO and Adjusted Operating FFO of the Company’s Core business, respectively, and are used as supplemental performance measures because they reflect results of the portion of the business the Company retained following completion of the strategic growth plan.

Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) and Recognized MRR 

 

The Company calculates MRR as monthly contractual revenue under signed leases as of a particular date, which includes revenue from its rental and cloud and managed services activities, but excludes customer recoveries, deferred set-up fees, variable related revenues, non-cash revenues and other one-time revenues. MRR is also calculated to include the Company’s pro rata share of monthly contractual revenue under signed leases as of a particular date associated with unconsolidated entities, which includes revenue from the unconsolidated entity’s rental and managed services activities, but excludes the unconsolidated entity’s customer recoveries, deferred set-up fees, variable related revenues, non-cash revenues and other one-time revenues. MRR reflects the annualized cash rental payments. It does not include the impact from booked-not-billed leases as of a particular date, unless otherwise specifically noted.

 

Separately, the Company calculates recognized MRR as the recurring revenue recognized during a given period, which includes revenue from its rental and cloud and managed services activities, but excludes customer recoveries, deferred set up fees, variable related revenues, non-cash revenues and other one-time revenues.

 

Management uses MRR and recognized MRR as supplemental performance measures because they provide useful measures of increases in contractual revenue from the Company’s customer leases and customer leases attributable to the Company’s business. MRR and recognized MRR should not be viewed by investors as alternatives to actual monthly revenue, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may not calculate MRR or recognized MRR in the same manner. Accordingly, the Company’s MRR and recognized MRR may not be comparable to other companies’ MRR and recognized MRR. MRR and recognized MRR should be considered only as supplements to total revenues as a measure of its performance. MRR and recognized MRR should not be used as measures of the Company’s results of operations or liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to meet its cash needs, including its ability to make distributions to its stockholders.

 

For periods in 2018, Core Recognized MRR and MRR are used as supplemental performance measures because they reflect results of the portion of the business the Company retained following completion of the strategic growth plan.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate (EBITDAre) and Adjusted EBITDA,

 

The Company calculates EBITDAre in accordance with (“NAREIT”). EBITDAre represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), adjusted to exclude gains (or losses) from sales of depreciated property, income tax expense (or benefit), interest expense, depreciation and amortization, impairments of depreciated property and unconsolidated entities, and similar adjustments for unconsolidated entities. The Company’s management uses EBITDAre as a supplemental performance measure because it provides performance measures that, when compared year over year, captures the performance of the Company’s operations by removing the impact of capital structure (primarily interest expense) and asset base charges (primarily depreciation and amortization) from its operating results.

 

Due to the volatility and nature of certain significant charges and gains recorded in the Company’s operating results that management believes are not reflective of its operating performance, management computes an adjusted measure of EBITDAre, which the Company refers to as Adjusted EBITDA. The Company generally calculates Adjusted EBITDA excluding certain non-routine charges, write off of unamortized deferred financing costs, gains (losses) on extinguishment of debt, restructuring costs, and transaction and integration costs, as well as the Company’s pro-rata share of each of those respective expenses associated with the unconsolidated entity aggregated into one line item categorized as “Adjustments for the unconsolidated entity.” In addition, the Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA excluding certain non-cash recurring costs such as equity-based compensation. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and, to the extent other REITs calculate Adjusted EBITDA on a comparable basis, between REITs.

 

Management uses EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental performance measures as they provide useful measures of assessing the Company’s operating results. Other companies may not calculate EBITDAre or Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner. Accordingly, the Company’s EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to others. EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDA should be considered only as supplements to net income (loss) as measures of the Company’s performance and should not be used as substitutes for net income (loss), as measures of its results of operations or liquidity or as an indications of funds available to meet its cash needs, including its ability to make distributions to its stockholders.

 

For periods in 2018, Core EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre are used as supplemental performance measures because they reflect results of the portion of the business of the Company retained following completion of the strategic growth plan.

Net Operating Income (NOI)

 

The Company calculates net operating income (“NOI”) as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding: interest expense, interest income, tax expense (benefit) of taxable REIT subsidiaries, depreciation and amortization, write off of unamortized deferred financing costs, debt restructuring costs, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, transaction and integration costs, gain (loss) on sale of real estate, restructuring costs, general and administrative expenses and similar adjustments for unconsolidated entities. The Company allocates a management fee charge of 4% of cash revenues for all facilities as a property operating cost and a corresponding reduction to general and administrative expense to cover the day-to-day administrative costs to operate our data centers. The management fee charge is reflected as a reduction to net operating income.

 

Management uses NOI as a supplemental performance measure because it provides a useful measure of the operating results from its customer leases. In addition, management believes it is useful to investors in evaluating and comparing the operating performance of its properties and to compute the fair value of its properties. The Company’s NOI may not be comparable to other REITs’ NOI as other REITs may not calculate NOI in the same manner. NOI should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of the Company’s performance and should not be used as a measure of results of operations or liquidity or as an indication of funds available to meet cash needs, including the ability to make distributions to stockholders. NOI is a measure of the operating performance of the Company’s properties and not of the Company’s performance as a whole. NOI is therefore not a substitute for net income as computed in accordance with GAAP.

 

For periods in 2018, Core NOI is used as a supplemental performance measure because it reflects results of the portion of the business the Company retained following completion of the strategic growth plan.
