Development Properties: Properties that Regency acquires and develops, including partially operating properties specifically acquired for redevelopment, and upon sale includes related gains in its calculation of FFO. Once development properties become operating properties, related gains are no longer included in FFO unless it is owned by Regency’s taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS) and developed for the purpose of resale. A property is no longer considered a development property after the end of the third calendar year following stabilization of rent paying occupancy.

Funds From Operations (FFO): FFO is a supplemental earnings measure defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) as net income attributable to common stockholders (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. NAREIT developed FFO as a supplement to net income and as a measure of recurring operating performance for real estate companies (April 2002). NAREIT also clarified that FFO should include the results of discontinued operations, non-recurring amounts (loss impairments, for example) except for those classified as extraordinary under GAAP, and could include certain gains and losses from the sale of undepreciated property with adequate disclosure. Regency includes gains from the sale of land or land it develops (Development Properties) in its calculation of FFO because it considers those items to be significant recurring operating amounts included in its financial results. To the extent that development sales to co-investment partnerships are impacted by the Restricted Gain Method, Regency adds back the additional gain deferral except for that amount of the ownership it has retained in the development sold.

Recurring Funds From Operations (Recurring FFO): Recurring FFO is defined as funds from operations excluding the impact of gains from the sale of development and outparcels, net of related taxes and dead deal costs, provisions for impairment, gains and losses from the early extinguishment of debt and preferred stock, restructuring charges, non-recurring transaction fees and promotes, and other one-time items.
