Funds From Operations (FFO)
The standard earnings measure for REITs, as defined by NAREIT: net income plus depreciation and amortisation of real estate, less gains on the sale of property, with the same adjustments for joint ventures. It exists because depreciation on buildings that tend to hold their value makes net income understate what a REIT earns. REITs are quoted on price to FFO per share.
