1) Q2 2017 Earnings Before Income Taxes reconciled to NOI for the three months ended June 30, 2017 in the Supplemental Operating Information section of the supplemental package, furnished to the SEC on form 8-K on August 3, 2017. 2) The net stabilized adjustments column represents adjustments assumed to arrive at an estimated annualized stabilized NOI. We include stabilization adjustments to the Q2 2017 NOI as follows: a) We have removed Q2 2017 lease termination income from our Cambridge Life Science and Manhattan office portfolios. b) Due to quarterly fluctuations of NOI as a result of distribution restrictions from our limited-distribution federally assisted housing properties, we have included a stabilization adjustment to the Q2 2017 NOI to arrive at our estimate of stabilized NOI. Our estimate of stabilized NOI is based on the 2016 annual NOI of $6.8 million, which excludes NOI related to 22 properties in this portfolio that were sold during the six months ended June 30, 2017. c) Partial period NOI for recently sold properties has been removed in the Operations Segments. d) Due to the planned transfer of Boulevard Mall (Regional Malls) to the lender in a deed-in-lieu transaction during 2017, we have removed NOI and nonrecourse debt, net, related to this property. e) For recently-opened properties currently in initial lease-up periods included in the Development Segment, NOI is reflected at 5% of the company ownership cost. This assumption does not reflect our anticipated NOI, but rather is used in order to establish a hypothetical basis for an estimated valuation of leased-up properties. The following properties are currently in their initial lease-up periods: NOI attributable to Kapolei Lofts, an apartment community on land in which we lease, is not included in NOI from lease-up properties. We consolidate the land lessor, who is entitled to a preferred return that currently exceeds anticipated operating cash flow of the project, and therefore, this project is reflected at 0% for company-share purposes. In accordance with the waterfall provisions of the distribution agreement, we expect to share in the net proceeds upon a sale of the project, which is not currently reflected on the NAV component schedule. - 27 - NAV Components-Footnotes (as of June 30, 2017) A Property Cost at 100% Cost at Company Share Lease Commitment % as of July 23, 2017 Office: 1812 A hland Ave (Life Science) 61.2$ 61.2$ 75% Apartments: 535 Carlton (Core Market) 168.1$ 41.7$ 36% Eli t on 4th (C r Market) 143.7$ 44.2$ 39% NorthxNorthwest (Core Market) 115.0$ 33.5$ 24% 461 Dean Street (Core Market) 195.6$ 195.6$ 77% The Bixby (Core Market) 59.2$ 11.8$ 99% Blossom Plaza (Core Market) 100.6$ 29.9$ 95% The Yards - Arris (Core Market) 143.2$ 42.9$ 94% 986.6$ 460.8$ (in millions)


 
NAV Components-Footnotes (as of June 30, 2017) - 28 - f) Due to the redevelopment of Ballston Quarter (Development Segment; Recently-Opened Properties/Redevelopment), we have included a stabilization adjustment to the Q2 2017 NOI to arrive at $2.6 million, our estimate of annualized stabilized NOI prior to the commencement of our current redevelopment. The net stabilized adjustments are not comparable to any GAAP measure and therefore do not have a reconciliation to the nearest comparable GAAP measure. 3) Company ownership annualized stabilized NOI is calculated by taking the Q2 2017 stabilized NOI times a multiple of four. 4) Amounts represent the company’s share of each respective balance sheet line item as of June 30, 2017 and may be calculated using the financial information contained in the Appendix of the supplemental package furnished to the SEC on form 8-K on August 3, 2017. Due to the planned transfer of Boulevard Mall to the lender, we have removed nonrecourse debt, net, of $91.1 million related to this property. 5) Represents the remaining 25 federally assisted housing apartment communities. We recently signed a master purchase and sale agreement to dispose of this portfolio and expect to receive net proceeds of approximately $65 million. As of June 30, 2017, 22 properties have closed, representing $53.5 million in net proceeds. 6) We have removed $23.0 million of assets from projects under construction, which represents the costs on the balance sheet associated with the ongoing redevelopment of Ballston Quarter. NOI for each of this is stabilized under Recently-Opened Properties/Redevelopment. 7) Includes $149.9 million of straight-line rent receivable (net of $9.1 million of allowance for doubtful accounts). 8) Includes $62.2 million of straight-line rent payable.

Definitions of non-GAAP measures EBITDA EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as net earnings excluding the following items at our company share: i) non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization; ii) interest expense; iii) amortization of mortgage procurement costs; and iv) income taxes. EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. We use EBITDA as the starting point in order to calculate Adjusted EBITDA as described below. Adjusted EBITDA We define Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, as EBITDA adjusted to exclude: i) impairment of real estate; ii) gains or losses from extinguishment of debt; iii) gain (loss) on full or partial disposition of rental properties, development projects and other investments; iv) gains or losses on change in control of interests; v) other transactional items, including organizational transformation and termination benefits; and vi) the Nets pre-tax EBITDA. We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA provide additional information in evaluating our credit and ability to service our debt obligations. Adjusted EBITDA is used by the chief operating decision maker and management to assess operating performance and resource allocations by segment and on a consolidated basis. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA gives the investment community a further understanding of the Company’s operating results, including the impact of general and administrative expenses and acquisition-related expenses, before the impact of investing and financing transactions and facilitates comparisons with competitors. However, Adjusted EBITDA should not be viewed as an alternative measure of the Company’s operating performance since it excludes financing costs as well as depreciation and amortization costs which are significant economic costs that could materially impact the Company’s results of operations and liquidity. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Adjusted EBITDA and, accordingly, the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other REITs. Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as total debt, net at our company share (total debt includes outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility, our term loan facility, convertible senior debt, net, nonrecourse mortgages and notes payable, net) less cash and equivalents, at our company share, divided by Adjusted EBITDA. Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure derived from non-GAAP financial measures that the Company uses to evaluate its capital structure and the magnitude of its debt against its operating performance. The Company believes that investors use versions of this ratio in a similar manner. The Company’s method of calculating the ratio may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to other REITs. Net Asset Value Components We disclose components of our business relevant to calculate NAV, a non-GAAP measure. There is no directly comparable GAAP financial measure to NAV. We consider NAV to be a useful supplemental measure which assists both management and investors to estimate the fair value of our Company. The calculation of NAV involves significant estimates and can be calculated using various methods. Each individual investor must determine the specific methodology, assumptions and estimates to use to arrive at an estimated NAV of the Company. NAV components are shown at our total company ownership. We believe disclosing the components at total company ownership is essential to estimate NAV, as they represent our estimated proportionate amount of assets and liabilities the Company is entitled to. The components of NAV do not consider the potential changes in rental and fee income streams or development platform. The components include non-GAAP financial measures, such as NOI, and information related to our rental properties business at the Company’s share. Although these measures are not presented in accordance with GAAP, investors can use these non-GAAP measures as supplementary information to evaluate our business. - 29 - A


 
Definitions of non-GAAP measures(cont’d) NOI NOI, a non-GAAP measure, reflects our share of the core operations of our rental real estate portfolio, prior to any financing activity. NOI is defined as revenues less operating expenses at our ownership within our Office, Apartments, Retail, and Development segments, except for revenues and cost of sales associated with sales of land held in these segments. The activities of our Corporate and Other segments do not involve the operations of our rental property portfolio and therefore are not included in NOI. We believe NOI provides important information about our core operations and, along with earnings before income taxes, is necessary to understand our business and operating results. Because NOI excludes general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, revenues and cost of sales associated with sales of land, other non-property income and losses, and gains and losses from property dispositions, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating office, apartment and retail real estate and the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs, providing a perspective on operations not immediately apparent from net income. We use NOI to evaluate our operating performance on a portfolio basis since NOI allows us to evaluate the impact that factors such as occupancy levels, lease structure, rental rates, and tenant mix have on our financial results. Investors can use NOI as supplementary information to evaluate our business. In addition, management believes NOI provides useful information to the investment community about our financial and operating performance when compared to other REITs since NOI is generally recognized as a standard measure of performance in the real estate industry. NOI is not intended to be a performance measure that should be regarded as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, our GAAP measures, and may not be directly comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. - 30 - A

2017 Guidance - 33 - A Forest City Realty Trust Inc.’s year ended December 31, 2017 guidance for net earnings attributable to common stockholders - diluted and Operating funds from operations (“Operating FFO”) per share - diluted is disclosed and reconciled below. These estimates reflect management’s view of current and future market conditions, including assumptions with respect to, but not limited to, rental rates, occupancy levels and comparable net operating income. These estimates exclude any possible future gains or losses from the disposal of rental properties or change in control of interest transactions, including any applicable operating results. In addition, these estimates do not assume any potential property acquisitions or related operating results, future impairment charges or write-offs of abandoned development projects and demolition costs. Estimated fully diluted weighted average shares for the year ended December 31, 2017 were used to calculate the per share estimates. These estimates are subject to fluctuations and there can be no assurance the Company’s actual results will not differ materially from these estimates. This guidance is a forward-looking statement and is subject to the risks and other factors described elsewhere in this release and in the Company's annual and quarterly period reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
