Business Overview and Strategy
Digital Realty Trust, Inc. , through its controlling interest inDigital Realty Trust, L.P. and its subsidiaries, delivers comprehensive space, power, and interconnection solutions that enable its customers and partners to connect with each other and service their own customers on a global technology and real estate platform. We are a leading global provider of data center, colocation and interconnection solutions for customers across a variety of industry verticals ranging from cloud and information technology services, social networking and communications to financial services, manufacturing, energy, healthcare, and consumer products.Digital Realty Trust, Inc. operates as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, and ourOperating Partnership is the entity through which we conduct our business and own our assets.
Our primary business objectives are to maximize:
(i) sustainable long-term growth in earnings and funds from operations per share
and unit;
(ii) cash flow and returns to our stockholders and our
unitholders through the payment of distributions; and
(iii) return on invested capital.
We expect to accomplish our objectives by achieving superior risk-adjusted returns, prudently allocating capital, diversifying our product offerings, accelerating our global reach and scale, and driving revenue growth and operating efficiencies. A significant component of our current and future internal growth is anticipated through the development of our existing space held for development, acquisition of land for future development, and acquisition of new properties.
We target high-quality, strategically located properties containing the physical and connectivity infrastructure that supports the applications and operations of data center and technology industry customers and properties that may be developed for such use. Most of our data center properties contain fully redundant electrical supply systems, multiple power feeds, above-standard cooling systems, raised floor areas, extensive in-building communications cabling and high-level security systems. We focus exclusively on owning, acquiring, developing and operating data centers because 40
Table of Contents
we believe that the growth in data center demand and the technology-related real estate industry generally will continue to outpace the overall economy.
We have developed detailed, standardized procedures for evaluating new real estate investments to ensure that they meet our financial, technical and other criteria. We expect to continue to acquire additional assets as part of our growth strategy. We intend to aggressively manage and lease our assets to increase their cash flow. We may continue to build out our development portfolio when justified by anticipated demand and returns. We may acquire properties subject to existing mortgage financing and other indebtedness or we may incur new indebtedness in connection with acquiring or refinancing these properties. Debt service on such indebtedness will have a priority over any cash dividends with respect toDigital Realty Trust, Inc.'s common stock and preferred stock. We are committed to maintaining a conservative capital structure. We target a debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA ratio at or less than 5.5x, fixed charge coverage of greater than three times, and floating rate debt at less than 20% of total outstanding debt. In addition, we strive to maintain a well-laddered debt maturity schedule, and we seek to maximize the menu of our available sources of capital, while minimizing the cost.
Revenue Base
The majority of revenue consists of rental income generated by the data centers in our portfolio. Our ability to generate and grow revenue depends on several factors, including our ability to maintain or improve occupancy rates. As ofSeptember 30, 2021 , andDecember 31, 2020 , our portfolio (excluding space under development or held for development) was 84.2% and 86.3% leased, respectively. A summary of our data center portfolio and related square feet occupied as ofSeptember 30, 2021 is shown below. Unconsolidated portfolios shown below consist of assets owned by unconsolidated entities in which we have invested. We often provide management services for these entities under management agreements and receive management fees. These are shown as Managed Unconsolidated Portfolio. Entities for which we do not provide such services are shown as Non-Managed Unconsolidated Portfolio.

For some of our properties, we calculate square footage based on factors in (1) addition to contractually leased square feet, including power, required
support space and common area.
Rental rates represent average annual estimated base cash rent per rentable
square foot - calculated for each contract based on total cash base rent (2) divided by the total number of years in the contract (including any tenant
concessions). All rates were calculated in the local currency of each
contract and then converted to USD based on average exchange rates for the

(4) Commencement dates for the leases signed range from 2021 to 2022.
(5) Includes leases signed for new and re-leased space.
(6) Other includes
office space within fully improved data center facilities.
We continue to see strong demand in most of our key metropolitan areas for data center space and, subject to the supply of available data center space in these metropolitan areas, we expect average aggregate rental rates on re-leased or renewed data center leases for 2021 expirations to generally be consistent with the rates currently being paid for the same space on a GAAP basis and on a cash basis. Our past performance may not be indicative of future results, and we cannot assure you that leases will be renewed or that our data centers will be re-leased at all or at rental rates equal to or above the current average rental rates. Further, re-leased/renewed rental rates in a particular metropolitan area may not be consistent with rental rates across our portfolio as a whole and may fluctuate from one period to another due to a number of factors, including local economic conditions, local supply and demand for data center space, competition from other data center developers or operators, the condition of the property and whether the property, or space within the property, has been developed.
42 Table of Contents Geographic concentration
We depend on the market for data centers in specific geographic regions and significant changes in these regional or metropolitan areas can impact our future results.

Operating expenses
Operating expenses primarily consist of utilities, property and ad valorem taxes, property management fees, insurance and site maintenance costs, and rental expenses on our ground and building leases. Our buildings require significant power to support data center operations and the cost of electric power and other utilities is a significant component of operating expenses.
Many of our leases contain provisions under which tenants reimburse us for all or a portion of property operating expenses and real estate taxes incurred by us. However, in some cases we are not entitled to reimbursement of property operating expenses, other than utility expense, and real estate taxes under our leases for Turn-Key Flex® facilities. We expect to incur additional operating expenses as we continue to expand.
Costs pertaining to our asset management function, legal, accounting, corporate governance, reporting and compliance are categorized as general and administrative costs within operating expenses.
Other key components of operating expenses include: depreciation of our fixed assets, amortization of intangible assets, and transaction and integration costs.
Other Income / (Expenses)
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities, interest expense, and income tax expense make up the majority of other income/(expense). Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities represents our share of the income/(loss) of entities 43 Table of Contents
in which we invest, but do not consolidate underU.S. GAAP. The largest of these investments is currently Ascenty which is located primarily inBrazil . We also hold investments in multiple other unconsolidated entities across the globe. Given that many of these entities transact in currencies other than theU.S. Dollar, results of these entities can be significantly impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Interest expense pertains primarily to unsecured senior notes, the majority of which are issued at fixed rates. The Company is subject to foreign, state and local taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates and income tax expense can be impacted by changes in tax rates in these various jurisdictions.
Factors Which May Influence Future Results of Operations
COVID-19. We continue to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our global business and operations, including the impact on our customers, suppliers and business partners. While we did not experience significant disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 nor as of the date of this report, we cannot predict the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties. Rental Income. As ofSeptember 30, 2021 , most of our leases (on a rentable square footage basis) contained base rent escalations that were either fixed (generally ranging from 2% to 4%) or indexed based on a consumer price index or other similar inflation-related index. We cannot assure you that these escalations will cover all the increases in our costs or will otherwise keep rental rates at or above market rates. Our ability to increase revenue depends in part on our ability to develop and lease capacity at favorable rates, which we may not be able to obtain. Significant capital investment is required in order to develop data center facilities that are ready for use and, in addition, we may require additional time or encounter delays in securing customers for development projects. We may purchase additional vacant properties and properties with vacant development capacity in the future. We will require additional capital to finance our development activities, which may not be available or may not be available on terms acceptable to us. In addition to approximately 5.1 million square feet of available space in our portfolio, which excludes approximately 6.5 million square feet of space under active development and approximately 1.1 million square feet of space held for development as ofSeptember 30, 2021 and the 30 data centers held as investments in our non-managed unconsolidated entities, leases representing approximately 2.8% and 11.6% of the net rentable square footage of our portfolio are scheduled to expire during the three months endingDecember 31, 2021 and the year endingDecember 31, 2022 , respectively. 44 Table of Contents Results of Operations
As a result of the consistent and significant growth in our business since the first property acquisition in 2002, we evaluate period-to-period results for revenue and property level operating expenses on a stabilized, rather than non-stabilized portfolio basis.
Stabilized: The stabilized portfolio includes properties owned as of the beginning of all periods presented with less than 5% of total rentable square feet under development.
Non-stabilized: The non-stabilized portfolio includes: 1) properties that were undergoing, or were expected to undergo, development activities during any of the periods presented, 2) any properties contributed to joint ventures, sold, or held for sale during the periods presented, and 3) any properties that were acquired or delivered at any point during the periods presented.
Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended
Revenues
Total operating revenues increased by approximately$108.5 million and$475.7 million in the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020, driven primarily by growth in non-stabilized rental and other services revenue. Non-stabilized rental and other services revenue increased$88.3 million for the three-month period primarily due to the completion of global development pipeline and related lease up operating activities and expansion into new markets in EMEA offset by the impact of properties sold in 2020 and 2021. For the nine-month period, non-stabilized rental and other services revenue increased$435.9 million , primarily due to the Interxion Combination, which contributed$276.8 million to the increase. Stabilized rental and other services revenue increased$1.7 million and$23.6 million in the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020 due to new leasing and renewals, net of expirations as well as increased tenant reimbursements associated with higher utility costs inTexas due to winter storm Uri.

Operating Expenses - Property Level
Property level operating expenses include costs to operate and maintain the locations as well as taxes and insurance. Stabilized property operating and maintenance expenses increased by approximately$10.2 million and$52.4 million in the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020, primarily related to higher utility consumption at certain properties in the stabilized portfolio. Non-stabilized property operating and maintenance expenses increased$37.4 million for the three-month period, primarily due to the completion of global development pipeline and related lease up operating activities and expansion into new markets in EMEA offset by the impact of properties sold in 2020 and 2021. For the nine-month period, non-stabilized property operating and maintenance expenses increased$141.9 million , primarily due to the Interxion Combination, which contributed$114.0 million to the increase. Stabilized property taxes and insurance increased by approximately$11.7 million in the three and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020, primarily related to property tax reassessments for certain properties located inChicago in the stabilized portfolio during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2021 .

In accordance with the Sales Agreement, following the date of the 2020 amendment,Digital Realty Trust, Inc. may offer and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to$1.0 billion . Prior to the 2020 amendment,Digital Realty Trust, Inc. had offered and sold shares of its common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of approximately$652.2 million . The sales of common stock made under the Sales Agreement will be made in "at the market" offerings as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act. For the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 ,Digital Realty Trust, Inc. issued approximately 1.1 million common shares under the Sales Agreement at an average price of$161.92 per share. For the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2020 ,Digital Realty Trust, Inc. issued approximately 6.1 million common shares under the Sales Agreement at an average price of$146.89 per share. As ofSeptember 30, 2021 , approximately$577.6 million remains available for future sales under the program. Our Parent has used and intends to use the net proceeds from the program to temporarily repay borrowings under ourOperating Partnership's global revolving credit facilities, to acquire additional properties or businesses, to fund development opportunities and for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including potentially for the repayment of other debt or the repurchase, redemption or retirement of outstanding debt securities. For additional information regarding the Sales Agreement, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedDecember 31, 2020 . OnSeptember 13, 2021 ,Digital Realty Trust, Inc. completed an underwritten public offering of 6,250,000 shares of its common stock, all of which were offered in connection with forward sale agreements it entered into with certain financial institutions acting as forward purchasers. The forward purchasers borrowed and sold an aggregate of 6,250,000 shares ofDigital Realty Trust, Inc.'s common stock in the public offering.Digital Realty Trust, Inc. did not receive any proceeds from the sale of our common stock by the forward purchasers in the public offering. The Company may receive gross proceeds of approximately$1.0 billion (based on the offering price of$155.69 per share) upon full physical settlement of the forward sale agreements, which is to be no later thanMarch 13, 2023 . Upon physical settlement of the forward sale agreements, theOperating Partnership is expected to issue general partner common partnership units toDigital Realty Trust, Inc. in exchange for contribution of the net proceeds. The forward purchasers had also granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable untilOctober 13, 2021 , to purchase up to 937,500 additional shares at a price of$155.69 , which represents the initial price to the public less the underwriting discount. The underwriters opted not to exercise their option within the specified time period. We believe ourOperating Partnership's sources of working capital, specifically its cash flow from operations, and funds available under its global revolving credit facility are adequate for it to make its distribution payments to our Parent and, in turn, for our Parent to make its dividend payments to its stockholders. However, we cannot assure you that ourOperating Partnership's sources of capital will continue to be available at all or in amounts sufficient to meet its needs, including making distribution payments to our Parent. The lack of availability of capital could adversely affect ourOperating Partnership's ability to pay its distributions to our Parent, which would in turn, adversely affect our Parent's ability to pay cash dividends to its stockholders.
Future Uses of Cash - Parent
Our Parent may from time to time seek to retire, redeem or repurchase its equity or the debt securities of ourOperating Partnership or its subsidiaries through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, redemptions or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions or other factors. The amounts involved may be material. 48 Table of Contents
Dividends and Distributions - Parent
Our Parent is required to distribute 90% of its taxable income (excluding capital gains) on an annual basis to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Our Parent intends to make, but is not contractually bound to make, regular quarterly distributions to its common stockholders from cash flow from ourOperating Partnership's operating activities. While historically our Parent has satisfied this distribution requirement by making cash distributions to its stockholders, it may choose to satisfy this requirement by making distributions of cash or other property. All such distributions are at the discretion of our Parent's Board of Directors. Our Parent considers market factors and ourOperating Partnership's performance in addition to REIT requirements in determining distribution levels. Our Parent has distributed at least 100% of its taxable income annually since inception to minimize corporate level federal income taxes. Amounts accumulated for distribution to stockholders are invested primarily in interest-bearing accounts and short-term interest-bearing securities, which are consistent with our intention to maintain our Parent's status as a REIT. As a result of this distribution requirement, ourOperating Partnership cannot rely on retained earnings to fund its ongoing operations to the same extent that other companies whose parent companies are not REITs can. Our Parent may need to continue to raise capital in the debt and equity markets to fund ourOperating Partnership's working capital needs, as well as potential developments at new or existing properties, acquisitions or investments in existing or newly created joint ventures. In addition, our Parent may be required to use borrowings under theOperating Partnership's global revolving credit facility (which is guaranteed by our Parent), if necessary, to meet REIT distribution requirements and maintain our Parent's REIT status. Distributions out of our Parent's current or accumulated earnings and profits are generally classified as ordinary income whereas distributions in excess of our Parent's current and accumulated earnings and profits, to the extent of a stockholder'sU.S. federal income tax basis in our Parent's stock, are generally classified as a return of capital. Distributions in excess of a stockholder'sU.S. federal income tax basis in our Parent's stock are generally characterized as capital gain. Cash provided by operating activities has been generally sufficient to fund distributions on an annual basis. However, we may also need to utilize borrowings under the global revolving credit facility to fund distributions. For additional information regarding dividends declared and paid by our Parent on its common and preferred stock for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , see Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein.
Analysis of Liquidity and Capital Resources - Operating Partnership
As ofSeptember 30, 2021 , we had$116.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, excluding$11.1 million of restricted cash. Restricted cash primarily consists of contractual capital expenditures plus other deposits. Our liquidity requirements primarily consist of:
? operating expenses,
? development costs and other expenditures associated with our properties,
? distributions to our Parent to enable it to make dividend payments,
? distributions to unitholders of common limited partnership interests inDigital Realty Trust, L.P. , ? capital expenditures, ? debt service, and, ? potentially, acquisitions. Future Uses of Cash
Our properties require periodic investments of capital for customer-related capital expenditures and for general capital improvements. Depending upon customer demand, we expect to incur significant improvement costs to build out

Land inventory and space held for development reflect cumulative cost spent pending future development. Base building construction consists of ongoing improvements to building infrastructure in preparation for future data center fit-out. Data center construction includes 7.4 million square feet of Turn Key Flex® and Powered Base Building® product. Generally, we expect to deliver the space within 12 months; however, lease commencement dates may significantly impact final delivery schedules. Equipment pool and other inventory represent the value of long-lead equipment and materials required for timely deployment and delivery of data center construction fit-out. Campus, tenant improvements and other costs include the value of development work which benefits space recently converted to our operating portfolio and is composed primarily of shared infrastructure projects and first-generation tenant improvements.
Capital Expenditures (Cash Basis)

Total capital expenditures (excluding indirect costs)$ 1,657,712 $ 1,302,821 For the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 , total capital expenditures increased$354.9 million to approximately$1,657.7 million from$1,302.8 million for the same period in 2020. Capital expenditures on our development projects plus our enhancement and improvements projects for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 were approximately$1,528.2 million , which reflects an increase of approximately 30% from the same period in 2020. This increase was primarily due to development activity at properties acquired in the Interxion Combination. Our development capital expenditures are generally funded by our available cash and equity and debt capital. Indirect costs, including capitalized interest, capitalized in the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020 were$90.4 million and$74.2 million , respectively. Capitalized interest comprised approximately$38.1 million and$35.5 million of the total indirect costs capitalized for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Capitalized interest in the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 increased, compared to the same period in 2020, due to an increase in qualifying activities. Excluding capitalized interest, indirect costs in the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021 increased compared to the same period in 2020 due primarily to capitalized amounts relating to compensation expense of employees directly engaged in construction activities. See "-Future Uses of Cash" below for a discussion of the amount of capital expenditures we expect to incur during the year endingDecember 31, 2021 . Consistent with our growth strategy, we actively pursue potential acquisition opportunities, with due diligence and negotiations often at different stages at different times. The dollar value of acquisitions for the year endingDecember 31, 2021 will depend upon numerous factors, including customer demand, leasing results, availability of debt or equity capital and acquisition opportunities. Further, the growing acceptance by private institutional investors of the data center asset class has generally pushed capitalization rates lower, as such private investors may often have lower return expectations than us. As a result, we anticipate near-term single asset acquisitions activity to comprise a smaller percentage of our growth while this market dynamic persists. We may from time to time seek to retire or repurchase our outstanding debt or the equity of our Parent through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities of our Parent in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend upon prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions or other factors. The amounts involved may be material.
Sources of Cash
We expect to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, including payment of scheduled debt maturities and funding of acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements, with net cash from operations, future

long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of equity and debt securities and the proceeds of equity issuances by our Parent. We also may fund future short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, including acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements, using our global revolving credit facilities pending permanent financing. As ofNovember 3, 2021 , we had approximately$1.5 billion of borrowings available under our global revolving credit facilities. Our global revolving credit facility provides for borrowings up to$2.35 billion . We have the ability from time to time to increase the size of the global revolving credit facility by up to$1.25 billion , subject to the receipt of lender commitments and other conditions precedent. The global revolving credit facility matures onJanuary 24, 2023 , with two six-month extension options available. We have used and intend to use available borrowings under the global revolving credit facility to fund our liquidity requirements from time to time. For additional information regarding our global revolving credit facility, see Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein. In connection with the issuance of the Swiss Franc Notes inJuly 2021 , we intend to allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds from the offering of the Swiss Franc Notes to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, recently completed or future green building, energy and resource efficiency and renewable energy projects, including the development and redevelopment of such projects (collectively, "Eligible Green Projects"). Pending the allocation of an amount equal to the net proceeds of the Swiss Franc Notes to Eligible Green Projects, all or a portion of an amount equal to the net proceeds from the Swiss Franc Notes were used to temporarily repay borrowings outstanding under theOperating Partnership's global credit facility and for other general corporate purposes. For additional information regarding our Swiss Franc Notes, see Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein. 52 Table of Contents Distributions
All distributions on our units are at the discretion of our Parent's Board of Directors.

As ofSeptember 30, 2021 , we had approximately$14.2 billion of outstanding consolidated long-term debt as set forth in the table above, which excludes deferred financing costs. Our ratio of debt to total enterprise value was approximately 25% (based on the closing price ofDigital Realty Trust, Inc.'s common stock onSeptember 30, 2021 of$144.45 ). For this purpose, our total enterprise value is defined as the sum of the market value ofDigital Realty Trust, Inc.'s outstanding common stock (which may decrease, thereby increasing our debt to total enterprise value ratio), plus the liquidation value ofDigital Realty Trust, Inc.'s preferred stock, plus the aggregate value of ourOperating Partnership's units not held byDigital Realty Trust, Inc. (with the per unit value equal to the market value of one share ofDigital Realty Trust, Inc.'s common stock and excluding long-term incentive units, Class C units and Class D units), plus the book value of our total consolidated indebtedness. The variable rate debt shown above bears interest at interest rates based on various one-month LIBOR, EURIBOR, SOR, JPY LIBOR, HIBOR, BBR, Base CD and CDOR rates, depending on the respective agreement governing the debt, including our global revolving credit facilities. As ofSeptember 30, 2021 , our debt had a weighted average term to initial maturity of approximately 6.0 years (or approximately 6.1 years assuming exercise of extension options).

Noncontrolling Interests in
Noncontrolling interests in theOperating Partnership relate to the common units in ourOperating Partnership that are not owned byDigital Realty Trust, Inc. , which, as ofSeptember 30, 2021 , amounted to 2.2% of ourOperating Partnership common units. Historically, ourOperating Partnership has issued common units to third party sellers in connection with our acquisition of real estate interests from such third parties. Limited partners have the right to require ourOperating Partnership to redeem part or all of their common units for cash based upon the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares ofDigital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock at the time of the redemption. Alternatively, we may elect to acquire those common units in exchange for shares ofDigital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, issuance of stock rights, specified extraordinary distributions and similar events. As ofSeptember 30, 2021 , approximately 0.2 million common units of theOperating Partnership that were issued to certain former unitholders ofDuPont Fabros Technology, L.P. in connection with the Company's acquisition ofDuPont Fabros Technology, Inc. were outstanding, which are subject to certain restrictions and, accordingly, are not presented as permanent capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Inflation
Many of our leases provide for separate real estate tax and operating expense escalations. In addition, many of the leases provide for fixed base rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases may be at least partially offset by the contractual rent increases and expense escalations described above.
Funds from Operations
We calculate funds from operations, or FFO, in accordance with the standards established by theNational Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (Nareit) in the Nareit Funds From Operations White Paper - 2018 Restatement. FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, a gain from a pre-existing relationship, impairment charges and real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate 55
Table of Contents
related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and capitalized leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our financial condition and results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the Nareit definition and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to other REITs' FFO. FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance.
