While FFO and normalized FFO are relevant and widely used supplemental measures of operating and financial performance of REITs, they should not be viewed as a substitute measure of our operating performance since the measures do not reflect either depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs (if any are not paid by our tenants) to maintain the operating performance of our properties, which can be significant economic costs that could materially impact our results of operations.
