Key Terms

nareit ffo, core ffo, same-center noi, net operating income, +4 more
8 terms
nareit ffo financial
"Reported Nareit FFO of $88.8 million, or $0.64 per diluted share"
NAREIT FFO is a standardized measure of operating performance for real estate companies that starts with net income, removes gains or losses from property sales, and adds back depreciation and amortization tied to real estate. Investors use it like a clearer view of recurring cash-earning ability—similar to checking a store’s everyday sales rather than one‑time clearance events—so it helps compare profitability and dividend capacity across property firms.
core ffo financial
"Reported Core FFO of $91.1 million, or $0.66 per diluted share"
Core FFO (Core Funds From Operations) is a real estate industry measure of a property owner's recurring cash earnings calculated by starting with net income and removing non-cash accounting items and one-time gains or losses so the number reflects ongoing operating performance. Investors use it like a trimmed-down paycheck: it helps compare cash-generating ability across periods and companies by focusing on the stable, repeatable income rather than temporary or accounting-driven swings.
same-center noi financial
"Increased same-center NOI year-over-year by 3.2% for the fourth quarter"
Same-center NOI is the net operating income generated only from locations or assets that were open and owned throughout both the current and comparison periods, excluding any new openings, closures, or acquisitions. It matters to investors because it isolates organic operating performance—like comparing how the same shops did month-to-month—so you can see whether underlying operations are improving or weakening without the noise of portfolio changes.
net operating income financial
"same-center net operating income (“NOI”) increased 3.2% to $115.9 million"
Net operating income is the profit a business makes from its core operations after subtracting the costs directly related to running those operations, but before accounting for taxes, interest, or other expenses. It shows how efficiently a company is generating income from its main activities. Investors use this figure to assess the company's operational performance and profitability.
net debt to annualized adjusted ebitdare financial
"the Company’s net debt to annualized adjusted EBITDAre was 5.2x"
Net debt to annualized adjusted EBITDAre is a leverage ratio that divides a company’s net debt (total borrowings minus cash) by its adjusted, annualized operating cash profit measure (EBITDAre). It tells investors how many years of the company’s current, normalized operating earnings would be needed to pay off its debt, like comparing total mortgage balance to a household’s expected yearly take-home pay; lower values indicate less financial risk.
revolving credit facility financial
"borrowing capacity available on its $1.0 billion revolving credit facility"
A revolving credit facility is a type of loan that a business can borrow from whenever it needs money, up to a set limit. It’s like having a credit card for companies—allowing them to borrow, pay back, and borrow again as needed, providing flexibility for managing cash flow or funding short-term expenses.
weighted-average interest rate financial
"outstanding debt had a weighted-average interest rate of 4.5%"
The weighted-average interest rate is the single, blended interest rate that represents the cost of all a borrower’s loans or bonds, where each loan’s rate is averaged according to how large that loan is. For investors it summarizes a company’s true borrowing cost — like finding the average price per item in a mixed shopping cart — and helps assess profit margins, cash flow pressure, and the impact of refinancing or rising market rates on future earnings.
weighted-average maturity financial
"weighted-average maturity of 5.3 years when including all extension options"
Weighted-average maturity is the average time it will take for all the loans or bonds in a portfolio to be paid back, where larger investments count more than smaller ones. Think of it like finding the average expiry date of items in a basket but giving bigger items more weight; investors use it to judge how quickly capital returns and how sensitive the portfolio is to interest rate changes and refinancing risk.

Discussion and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

Same-Center Net Operating Income

The Company presents Same-Center NOI as a supplemental measure of its performance. The Company defines NOI as total operating revenues, adjusted to exclude non-cash revenue items, less property operating expenses and real estate taxes. For the three months and years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, Same-Center NOI represents the NOI for the 272 properties that were wholly-owned for the entirety of both calendar year periods being compared. The Company believes Same-Center NOI provides useful information to its investors about its financial and operating performance because it provides a performance measure of the revenues and expenses directly involved in owning and operating real estate assets and provides a perspective not immediately apparent from net income (loss). Because Same-Center NOI excludes the change in NOI from properties acquired or disposed of after December 31, 2023, it highlights operating trends such as occupancy levels, rental rates, and operating costs for our same-center portfolio. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Same-Center NOI, and accordingly, PECO’s Same-Center NOI may not be comparable to other REITs.

Same-Center NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of the Company’s financial performance as it does not reflect the operations of its entire portfolio, nor does it reflect the impact of general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, other income (expense), or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of the Company’s properties that could materially impact its results from operations.

Nareit Funds from Operations and Core Funds from Operations

Nareit FFO is a non-GAAP financial performance measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) defines FFO as net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding: (i) gains (or losses) from sales of property and gains (or losses) from change in control; (ii) depreciation and amortization related to real estate; and (iii) impairment losses on real estate and impairments of in-substance real estate investments in investees that are driven by measurable decreases in the fair value of the depreciable real estate held by the unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect Nareit FFO on the same basis. The Company calculates Nareit FFO in a manner consistent with the Nareit definition.

Core FFO is an additional financial performance measure used by the Company as Nareit FFO includes certain non-comparable items that affect its performance over time. The Company believes that Core FFO is helpful in assisting management and investors with the assessment of the sustainability of operating performance in future periods, and that it is more reflective of its core operating performance and provides an additional measure to compare PECO’s performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that may cause short-term fluctuations in net income (loss). To arrive at Core FFO, the Company adjusts Nareit FFO to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring items including, but not limited to: (i) depreciation and amortization of corporate assets; (ii) changes in the fair value of the earn-out liability; (iii) adjustments related to our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures; (iv) gains or losses on the extinguishment or modification of debt and other; (v) other impairment charges; (vi) transaction and acquisition expenses; and (vii) realized performance income.

Nareit FFO and Core FFO should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) under GAAP, as an indication of the Company’s liquidity, nor as an indication of funds available to cover its cash needs, including its ability to fund distributions. Core FFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if the Company does not continue to operate its business plan in the manner currently contemplated.

Accordingly, Nareit FFO and Core FFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements, and should not be viewed as more prominent measures of performance than net income (loss) or cash flows from operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s Nareit FFO and Core FFO, as presented, may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other REITs.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization for Real Estate and Adjusted EBITDAre

Nareit defines Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization for Real Estate (“EBITDAre”) as net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP before: (i) interest expense; (ii) income tax expense; (iii) depreciation and amortization; (iv) gains or losses from disposition of depreciable property; and (v) impairment write-downs of depreciable property. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect EBITDAre on the same basis.

Adjusted EBITDAre is an additional performance measure used by the Company as EBITDAre includes certain non-comparable items that affect the Company’s performance over time. To arrive at Adjusted EBITDAre, the Company excludes certain recurring and non-recurring items from EBITDAre, including, but not limited to: (i) changes in the fair value of the earn-out liability; (ii) other impairment charges; (iii) adjustments related to our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures; (iv) transaction and acquisition expenses; and (v) realized performance income.

The Company uses EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre as additional measures of operating performance which allow it to compare earnings independent of capital structure, determine debt service and fixed cost coverage, and measure enterprise value. Additionally, the Company believes they are a useful indicator of its ability to support its debt obligations. EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), as an indication of the Company’s liquidity, nor as an indication of funds available to cover its cash needs, including its ability to fund distributions. Accordingly, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements, and should not be viewed as more prominent measures of performance than net income (loss) or cash flows from operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, as presented, may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other REITs.
