Net Income Available to Common Stockholders / FFO Guidance and Outlook

The company has updated its guidance range of NAREIT-defined FFO per diluted share for its fiscal year 2019 to $3.82 to $3.88 per share with a midpoint of $3.85 per share, reflecting management’s views on current and future market conditions, including assumptions with respect to rental rates, occupancy levels, and the earnings impact of events referenced in this press release.

(1)		Calculated based on estimated weighted average shares outstanding including non-participating share-based awards.
(2)		See management statement for FFO at end of release.
(3)		Calculated based on weighted average shares outstanding including participating and non-participating share-based awards, dilutive impact of stock options, contingently issuable shares, and shares issuable under forward equity sale agreements and assuming the exchange of all common limited partnership units outstanding. Reported amounts are attributable to common stockholders, common unitholders and restricted stock unitholders.

The company’s guidance estimates for the full year 2019, and the reconciliation of net income available to common stockholders per share - diluted and FFO per share and unit - diluted included within this press release, reflect management’s views on current and future market conditions, including assumptions with respect to rental rates, occupancy levels, and the earnings impact of the events referenced in this press release. Although these guidance estimates reflect the impact on the company’s operating results of an assumed range of future disposition activity, these guidance estimates do not include any estimates of possible future gains or losses from possible future dispositions because the magnitude of gains or losses on sales of depreciable operating properties, if any, will depend on the sales price and depreciated cost basis of the disposed assets at the time of disposition, information that is not known at the time the company provides guidance, and the timing of any gain recognition will depend on the closing of the dispositions, information that is also not known at the time the company provides guidance and may occur after the relevant guidance period. We caution you not to place undue reliance on our assumed range of future disposition activity because any potential future disposition transactions will ultimately depend on the market conditions and other factors, including but not limited to the company’s capital needs, the particular assets being sold and the company’s ability to defer some or all of the taxable gain on the sales. These guidance estimates also do not include the impact on operating results from potential future acquisitions, possible capital markets activity, possible future impairment charges or any events outside of the company’s control. There can be no assurance that the company’s actual results will not differ materially from these estimates.

(1)		Effective January 1, 2019, the company adopted ASC 842 “Leases,” which required the following changes for all periods beginning and subsequent to January 1, 2019. In accordance with the adoption of the new standard under the modified retrospective method, previously reported periods are not restated for the impact of the standard.
		- All lease related revenue required to be reported as a single component within rental income. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, rental income includes $30.4 million of tenant reimbursements and $3.6 million of gross lease termination fees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, rental income includes $82.4 million of tenant reimbursements and $10.5 million of gross lease termination fees.

		- All property expenses paid directly by the company and reimbursed by the tenant to be presented on a gross basis.

This change has no impact to net income, Net Operating Income or Funds From Operations.
		- Non-tenant parking income to be presented in other property income instead of rental income since recognized under ASC 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and outside the scope of ASC 842 “Leases.”

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, ground leases includes $0.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of property taxes for properties where the Company is a lessee.
		- Indirect leasing costs to be expensed as incurred and reported in leasing costs.

________________________

(1)		We calculate Funds From Operations available to common stockholders and common unitholders (“FFO”) in accordance with the 2018 Restated White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate and impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets) and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our calculation of FFO includes the amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant-funded tenant improvements and excludes the depreciation of the related tenant improvement assets. We also add back net income attributable to noncontrolling common units of the Operating Partnership because we report FFO attributable to common stockholders and common unitholders.
		We believe that FFO is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. The exclusion from FFO of gains and losses from the sale of operating real estate assets allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the assets that form the core of our activity and assists in comparing those operating results between periods. Also, because FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs, it facilitates comparisons of operating performance to other REITs. However, other REITs may use different methodologies to calculate FFO, and accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to all other REITs.
		Implicit in historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP is the assumption that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies using historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, we believe that FFO along with the required GAAP presentations provides a more complete measurement of our performance relative to our competitors and a more appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing and investing activities than the required GAAP presentations alone would provide.
		However, FFO should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our operating performance because it does not reflect either depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, which are significant economic costs and could materially impact our results from operations.
(2)		Reported amounts are attributable to common stockholders, common unitholders, and restricted stock unitholders.
(3)		FFO available to common stockholders and unitholders includes amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant-funded tenant improvements of $6.8 million and $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $14.9 million and $13.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
(4)		Calculated based on weighted average shares outstanding including participating share-based awards (i.e. nonvested stock and certain time based restricted stock units) and assuming the exchange of all common limited partnership units outstanding.
(5)		Calculated based on weighted average shares outstanding including participating and non-participating share-based awards, dilutive impact of stock options, contingently issuable shares, and shares issuable under forward equity sale agreements and assuming the exchange of all common limited partnership units outstanding.
