Adjusted Book Value
(1)
(1)
Management
views
adjusted
book
value
as
a
useful
and
appropriate
supplement
to
shareholders’
equity
and
book
value
per
share.
The
measure
serves
as
an
additional
measure
of
our
value
because it facilitates evaluation of us without the effects of various items that we are required to record in accordance with GAAP but which have limited economic impact on our
business.
Those adjustments primarily reflect the effect of consolidated securitizations where we do not currently receive cash flows on our retained interests, accumulated depreciation and
amortization, the valuation of long-term derivative instruments and a valuation of our recurring collateral and property management fees.  Adjusted book value is a non-GAAP financial
measurement,
and
does
not
purport
to
be
an
alternative
to
reported
shareholders’
equity,
determined
in
accordance
with
GAAP,
as
a
measure
of
book
value.
Adjusted
book
value
should
be
reviewed
in
connection
with
shareholders’
equity
as
set
forth
in
our
consolidated
balance
sheets,
to
help
analyze
our
value
to
investors.
Adjusted
book
value
may
be
defined
in
various
ways
throughout the REIT industry. Investors should consider these differences when comparing our adjusted book value to that of other REITs.

We believe that funds from operations, or FFO, and adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, each of which are non-GAAP measures, are additional appropriate measures of the operating
performance of a REIT and us in particular. We compute FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, as net
income or loss allocated to common shares (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding real estate-related depreciation and amortization expense, gains or losses on sales of real estate
and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles.  AFFO is a computation made by analysts and investors to measure a real estate company's cash flow generated by operations. 
We calculate AFFO by adding to or subtracting from FFO: change in fair value of financial instruments; gains or losses on debt extinguishment; capital expenditures, net of any direct financing
associated with those capital expenditures; straight-line rental effects; amortization of various deferred items and intangible assets; and share-based compensation. Our calculation of AFFO
differs from the methodology used for calculating AFFO by certain other REITs and, accordingly, our AFFO may not be comparable to AFFO reported by other REITs. Our management utilizes FFO
and AFFO as measures of our operating performance, and believes they are also useful to investors, because they facilitate an understanding of our operating performance after adjustment for
certain
non-cash
items,
such
as
real
estate
depreciation,
share-based
compensation
and
various
other
items
required
by
GAAP
that
may
not
necessarily
be
indicative
of
current
operating
performance and that may not accurately compare our operating performance between periods. Furthermore, although FFO, AFFO and other supplemental performance measures are defined
in various ways throughout the REIT industry, we also believe that FFO and AFFO may provide us and our investors with an additional useful measure to compare our financial performance to
certain
other
REITs.
Neither
FFO
nor
AFFO
is
equivalent
to
net
income
or
cash
generated
from
operating
activities
determined
in
accordance
with
U.S.
GAAP.
Furthermore,
FFO
and
AFFO
do
no
t represent amounts available for management's discretionary use
because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments or uncertainties.
Neither FFO nor AFFO should be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a
measure of our liquidity.
