Adjusted Funds From Operations is a non-GAAP supplemental financial performance measure to evaluate the operating performance of our real estate portfolio. AFFO, as defined by our company, excludes from FFO amortization and write off of deferred financing costs, straight-line rent adjustments, above and below market lease intangibles amortization, debt prepayment fees, and adjustments for discontinued operations. AFFO allows for a comparison of the performance of our portfolio with that of other REITs, as AFFO, or an equivalent measure, is routinely reported by other REITs, and we believe often used by analysts and investors for comparison purposes.
