(1) Total Annualized Rental Revenue is the monthly contractual base rent as of June 30, 2004 multiplied by 12 plus the estimated annualized expense reimbursements under existing office leases excluding development properties.
(2) The weighting of the lease term was computed using Total Rental Revenue.
(3) Many of the government leases are subject to early termination provisions, which are customary to government leases. The weighted average remaining lease term was computed assuming no exercise of such early termination rights.
(4) Includes affiliated organizations or agencies.
(5) Merck & Co., Inc. subleases 219,065 rentable square feet from Unisys 960,349 leased rentable square feet.
Reclassifications and Definitions
NAREIT |
|
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts. |
|
|
|
GAAP |
|
Generally accepted accounting principles. |
|
|
|
Funds from Operations (FFO) |
|
Under NAREITs definition, FFO means net income (loss) computed using GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Gains from sales of newly-developed properties less accumulated depreciation, if any, required under GAAP are included in FFO on the basis that development services are the primary revenue generating activity; the Company believes that the inclusion of these development gains is in compliance with the NAREIT definition of FFO, although others may interpret the definition differently. Additionally, the repurchase of the Series C preferred units for an amount in excess of recorded book value was a transaction not contemplated in the NAREIT definition of FFO; the Company believes that the exclusion of such amount is appropriate. The FFO the Company presents may not be comparable to the FFO of other REITs since they may interpret the current NAREIT definition of FFO differently or they may not use the current NAREIT definition of FFO. |
|
|
|
Basic FFO |
|
Basic FFO is FFO adjusted to (1) subtract preferred share dividends and (2) add back GAAP net income allocated to common units in Corporate Office Properties, L.P. (the Operating Partnership) not owned by the Company. With these adjustments, Basic FFO represents FFO available to common shareholders and common unitholders. |
|
|
|
Diluted FFO |
|
Diluted FFO is Basic FFO adjusted to add back any convertible preferred share dividends and any other changes in Basic FFO that would result from the assumed conversion of securities that are convertible or exchangeable into common shares. However, the computation of Diluted FFO does not assume conversion of securities that are convertible into common shares if the conversion of those securities would increase Diluted FFO per share in a given period. Diluted FFO is the numerator used to compute Diluted FFO per share. |
|
|
|
Diluted FFO excluding SFAS 141 |
|
Diluted FFO adjusted to eliminate the amortization of the value assigned to in-place operating leases of acquired properties in connection with SFAS 141. |
|
|
|
Diluted Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) |
|
Diluted AFFO is Diluted FFO adjusted to eliminate the effect of noncash rental revenues (comprised of straight-line rental adjustments and the amortization of the value assigned to in-place operating leases of acquired properties in connection with SFAS 141) and recurring capital expenditures. |
|
|
|
Earnings Payout Ratio |
|
Total dividends on common shares divided by net income (loss) available to common shareholders. |
|
|
|
Diluted FFO Payout Ratio |
|
Diluted FFO Payout Ratio is defined as (1) the sum of (A) dividends on common shares and convertible preferred shares and (B) distributions to holders of common units and convertible preferred units in the Operating Partnership not owned by the Company divided by (2) Diluted FFO. |
|
|
|
Diluted AFFO Payout Ratio |
|
Diluted AFFO Payout Ratio is defined as (1) the sum of (A) dividends on common shares and convertible preferred shares and (B) distributions to holders of common units and convertible preferred units in the Operating Partnership not owned by the Company divided by (2) Diluted AFFO assuming conversion of share options, common unit warrants, preferred units and preferred shares. |
|
|
|
Recurring Capital Expenditures |
|
Capital improvements, tenant improvements and leasing costs associated with operating properties that are not (1) items contemplated prior to the acquisition of a property, (2) improvements associated with the expansion of a building or its improvements, (3) renovations to a building which change the underlying classification of the building (for example, from industrial to office or Class C office to Class B office) or (4) capital improvements that represent the addition of something new to the property rather than the replacement of something (for example, the addition of a new heating and air conditioning unit that is not replacing one that was previously there). |
|
|
|
Debt to Undepreciated Book Value of Real Estate Assets |
|
Mortgage loans payable divided by gross investment in real estate as computed by adding accumulated depreciation to the net investment in real estate as presented on the Companys balance sheet. |
|
|
|
Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes and Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) |
|
EBITDA is net income adjusted for the effects of interest expense, depreciation and amortization, income taxes, gain on sales of real estate (excluding sales of non-operating properties and development services provided on operating properties), minority interests and preferred share dividends. |
|
|
|
Interest Coverage Ratio EBITDA |
|
EBITDA divided by interest expense on continuing and discontinued operations. |
|
|
|
Fixed Charge Ratio EBITDA |
|
EBITDA divided by the sum of (1) interest expense on continuing and discontinued operations, (2) dividends on preferred shares and (3) distributions on preferred units in Corporate Office Properties, L.P. not owned by the Company. |
|
|
|
Base rent straight-line or straight-line rent |
|
Contractual minimum rent under leases recorded into rental revenue using the average contractual rent over the lease term in accordance with GAAP. |
|
|
|
Total Rent straight line |
|
Contractual minimum rent under leases recorded into rental revenue using the average contractual rent over the lease term in accordance with GAAP plus estimated operating expense reimbursements, or total rent. |
Base rent cash |
|
Contractual minimum rent under leases remitted by the replacement tenant at lease commencement or the predecessor tenant at date of lease expiration. |
|
|
|
Total rent cash |
|
Contractual minimum rent under leases plus estimated operating expense reimbursements, or total rent, as remitted by the replacement tenant at lease commencement or the predecessor tenant at date of lease expiration. |
|
|
|
Combined Net Operating Income (NOI) |
|
Total revenues from real estate operations less total property expenses from real estate operations, including discontinued operations. Total property operating expenses, as used in this definition, do not include depreciation, amortization and interest expense associated with real estate operations. |
|
|
|
Cash Net Operating Income (Cash NOI) |
|
Cash NOI is Combined NOI adjusted to eliminate the effects of noncash rental revenues (comprised of straight-line rental adjustments and the amortization of value assigned to in-place operating leases of acquired properties in connection with SFAS 141). Under GAAP, rental revenue is recognized evenly over the term of tenant leases. Many leases provide for contractual rent increases and the effect of accounting under GAAP for such leases is to accelerate the recognition of lease revenue. Since some leases provide for periods under the lease in which rental concessions are provided to tenants, the effect of accounting under GAAP is to allocate rental revenue to such periods. Under SFAS 141, when a property is acquired, in-place operating leases carrying rents above or below market are valued as of the date of the acquisition; such value is then amortized into rental revenue over the lives of the related leases. |
