2012 Guidance
The Company currently forecasts Normalized FFO for 2012 from $3.15 to $3.18 per diluted common share. The Company's guidance range for the full year 2012 for net income per share and Normalized FFO per share, with underlying assumptions and timing of certain transactions, is set forth and reconciled below:
Full-Year 2012 Range | |||||||
Low | High | ||||||
Net income per diluted common share | $ | 2.48 | $ | 2.49 | |||
Plus: Real estate depreciation | .53 | .55 | |||||
Plus: Loan write-downs | .08 | .08 | |||||
Plus: Expenses due to early lease termination and other adjustments | .06 | .06 | |||||
Normalized FFO per diluted common share | $ | 3.15 | $ | 3.18 | |||
The Company's guidance range reflects the existence of volatile economic conditions, but does not assume any material deterioration in tenant credit quality and/or performance of its portfolio. The guidance is based on a number of assumptions, many of which are outside the Company's control and all of which are subject to change. The Company expects to make new investments in health care real estate during the remainder of 2012 that meet its underwriting criteria and where the spreads over its cost of capital generates sufficient returns to its shareholders. These new investments are expected to be funded by the Company's liquid investments and by short-term and long-term debt financing. The Company's guidance may change if actual results vary from these assumptions.

(1) Management believes that funds from operations (FFO) is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for a real estate investment trust. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen and fallen with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a real estate investment trust that uses historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative, and should be supplemented with a measure such as FFO. The term FFO was designed by the real estate investment trust industry to address this issue. Our measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other REITs. Consequently, our funds from operations may not provide a meaningful measure of our performance as compared to that of other REITs. Since other REITs may not use our definition of FFO, caution should be exercised when comparing our Company’s FFO to that of other REITs. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP (funds from operations does not include changes in operating assets and liabilities) and therefore should not be considered an alternative to net earnings as an indication of operating performance, or to net cash flow from operating activities as determined by GAAP in the United States, as a measure of liquidity and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. | |||||||||||||||
(2) Normalized FFO excludes from FFO certain items which, due to their infrequent or unpredictable nature, may create some difficulty in comparing FFO for the current period to similar prior periods, and may include, but are not limited to, impairment of assets, gains and losses attributable to the acquisition and disposition of assets and liabilities, recoveries of previous write-downs, and changes in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements. | |||||||||||||||

(1) Management believes that FAD and normalized FAD are important supplemental measures of a REIT’s net earnings available to common stockholders. Since other REITs may not use our definition of FAD; caution should be exercised when comparing our Company’s FAD to that of other REITs. FAD in and of itself does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP (FAD does not include changes in operating assets and liabilities) and therefore should not be considered an alternative to net earnings as an indication of operating performance, or to net cash flow from operating activities as determined by GAAP as a measure of liquidity, and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. | |||||||||||||||
