Exploring The REIT Industry
WHAT IS A REIT?
Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT): A company that owns and for the most part operates income-producing real
estate (Examples: apartments, office buildings, warehouses, shopping centers, etc.)
• Formed in 1960 when congress passed the Real Estate Investment Trust Act
This allowed small investors to have access to commercial real estate by owning shares of a REIT stock
• Can be either publically traded, non-exchange traded, or privately held
Investor benefits diversification & liquidity
• REIT industry trade organization is National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT)

THE REIT STRUCTURE
Why be a REIT Tax election
Primary benefit :
• Do not pay any corporate income tax $ taxed at investor level
REITs must adhere to several compliance requirements:
• Distribute at least 90% of taxable net income as dividends to shareholders
• Derive at least 75% of gross income from real estate income
• Have at least 75% of assets in real estate
• Have a minimum of 100 Shareholders
• No more than 50% of shares be held by 5 or fewer individuals
• Have no more than 25% of assets invested in stocks of TRS
Additionally:
• Can generate additional revenue through taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS)
• TRS allows REITs to engage in ancillary business activities

KEY REPORTING METRICS
OPERATING
A. Occupancy %:
This is the amount of space being occupied for a
particular area (i.e. shopping center, office building).
Occupancy % is calculated using the occupied space
divided by total space.
B. Leasing Spreads:
This is the difference between the current rent and the
prior rent on a lease. A spread is calculated for all
comparable leases which include renewals, options
and new leases.
C. Same Site Net Operating Income (NOI)
Change:
This measures NOI on the same pool of properties that
were owned + operated for the entirety of both periods,
which will provide insight as to how a portfolio of
assets are performing.
FINANCIAL
A.Funds From Operations (FFO) - as defined by
NAREIT:
Net Income (Including any impairment charges)
- gains from sale of property
+ real estate depreciation & amortization
(include Prorata of share of unconsolidated JV)
= FFO
B.Recurring FFO - defined individually by REIT:
Reported FFO
+/- non-recurring transactional items
+ impairment charges
= Recurring FFO
C.Adjusted FFO (AFFO) - defined individually by
REIT:
Reported FFO
- recurring capital expenditures
+/- adjust for straight line / adjust for FAS 141
+/- other non-cash activity
= AFFO
11
FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY - NOT FOR EXTERNAL DISTRIBUTION
THE FOUR VALUATION METHODS
Methods Description Pros Cons
Price-to-FFO • Same as price-to-earnings
ratio
• Calculated as current stock
price/FFO per share
• Most standardized
comparison across all REITs.
• May not be a robust proxy for
cash flow as it includes non-
cash items
• Doesn’t adjust for differences
in capital structure
Price-to-Forward Net Asset
Value (NAV)
• Similar to using price to book
ratios
• Approximation of the
liquidation value of underlying
real estate, before income
taxes on property sales
• Can apply different multiples
to different cash flows
• Can adjust the capital
structure to see levered vs.
unlevered
• Many assumptions needed in
the NAV calculations by
analyst
• Ignores the company’s
business enterprise
Dividend Yields • Calculated as the annual
dividend divided by the
current stock price.
• No assumptions needed
• Easily compared across all
companies and stock indices
• Need to look at AFFO
estimate and payout and
coverage ratios to determine
the quality of cash flow,
because dividend may be set
too high
Implied Cap Rates • Calculated by dividing
forward NOI estimate by sum
of equity market cap based
on today’s stock price, plus
NAV liabilities minus NAV
assets
• Reveals the real estate
returns required by capital
market
• There can be some
variations in calculating cap
rates
12
FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY - NOT FOR EXTERNAL DISTRIBUTION
NET ASSET VALUE (NAV)
• Attempt to approximate the liquidation value of the underlying real
estate before the impact of taxes on property sales
• A six step method is used when attaining NAV estimates
1. Determine forward 12-month cash net operating income (NOI)
• Revenue – Operating Exp. + Other Sources of Income = NOI
2. Determine market value of assets by applying a cap rate
• Net Pro Forma NOI / Cap Rate
3. Determine value of third party income
• Apply a cap rate or multiple to a third party income
4. Determine gross market value of assets
• After adding results from steps 2 and 3 together add all
assets to the total
5. Determine net market value of assets
• Deduct liabilities from step 4 to get NAV
6. Determine NAV per share
• NAV / Diluted Shares Outstanding = NAV per share

*NAV per share is compared to current stock
price to determine is we trade at either
premium or at a discount.
