(1) | IRT believes that FFO and Core FFO, each of which is a non-GAAP measure, are additional appropriate measures of the operating performance of a REIT and IRT in particular. IRT computes 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 stock (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. |
Core FFO is a computation made by analysts and investors to measure a real estate companys operating performance by removing the effect of items that do not reflect ongoing property operations, including acquisition expenses, expensed costs related to the issuance of shares of our common stock and equity-based compensation expenses, from the determination of FFO. IRT incurs acquisition expenses in connection with acquisitions of real estate properties and expense those costs when incurred in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As these expenses are one-time and reflective of investing activities rather than operating performance, IRT adds back these costs to FFO in determining Core FFO.
IRTs calculation of Core FFO differs from the methodology used for calculating Core FFO by certain other REITs and, accordingly, IRTs Core FFO may not be comparable to Core FFO reported by other REITs. IRTs management utilizes FFO and Core FFO as measures of IRTs operating performance, and believes they are also useful to investors, because they facilitate an understanding of IRTs operating performance after adjustment for certain non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization expenses, and acquisition expenses and pursuit costs that are required by GAAP to be expensed but may not necessarily be indicative of current operating performance and that may not accurately compare IRTs operating performance between periods. Furthermore, although FFO, Core FFO and other supplemental performance measures are defined in various ways throughout the REIT industry, IRT also believes that FFO and Core FFO may provide IRT and our investors with an additional useful measure to compare IRTs financial performance to certain other REITs. IRT also uses Core FFO for purposes of determining the quarterly incentive fee, if any, payable to our advisor beginning with the second quarter of 2013.Neither FFO nor Core FFO is equivalent to net income or cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, FFO and Core FFO do not represent amounts available for managements discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments or uncertainties. Neither FFO nor Core FFO should be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of IRTs operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of IRTs liquidity.
