Granite's Evolution
APPENDIX
The following non-IFRS performance measures and non-IFRS ratios are important measures used by management in evaluating the Trust's underlying operating performance
and debt management. These non-IFRS performance measures and non-IFRS ratios are not defined by IFRS and do not have standard meanings. The Trust's method of
calculating non-IFRS performance measures may differ from other issuers' methods and, accordingly, may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other
issuers. All non-IFRS performance measures as well as non-IFRS ratios shown within this presentation have been adjusted for subsequent events. Please refer to section C of
this Appendix for details on the Trust's subsequent events.
A) NON-IFRS PERFORMANCE MEASURES
Funds from operations
១
FFO is a non-IFRS performance measure that is widely used by the real estate industry in evaluating the operating performance of real estate entities. Granite calculates FFO as net income
attributable to stapled unitholders excluding fair value gains (losses) on investment properties and financial instruments, gains (losses) on sale of investment properties including the associated
current income tax, deferred income taxes and certain other items, net of non-controlling interests in such items. The Trust's determination of FFO follows the definition prescribed by the Real
Estate Property Association of Canada ("REALPAC") guidelines on Funds From Operations & Adjusted Funds From Operations for IFRS dated January 2022 ("REALPAC Guidelines"). Granite
considers FFO to be a meaningful supplemental measure that can be used to determine the Trust's ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and provide distributions to stapled
unitholders. FFO is reconciled to net income, which is the most directly comparable IFRS measure. FFO should not be construed as an alternative to net income or cash flow generated from
operating activities determined in accordance with IFRS.
Adjusted funds from operations
AFFO is a non-IFRS performance measure that is widely used by the real estate industry in evaluating the recurring economic earnings performance of real estate entities after considering certain
costs associated with sustaining such earnings. Granite calculates AFFO as net income attributable to stapled unitholders including all adjustments used to calculate FFO and further adjusts for
actual maintenance capital expenditures that are required to sustain Granite's productive capacity, leasing costs such as leasing commissions and tenant allowances incurred and non-cash
straight-line rent and tenant incentive amortization, net of non-controlling interests in such items. The Trust's determination of AFFO follows the definition prescribed by REALPAC's Guidelines.
Granite considers AFFO to be a meaningful supplemental measure that can be used to determine the Trust's ability to service debt, fund expansion capital expenditures, fund property
development and provide distributions to stapled unitholders after considering costs associated with sustaining operating earnings. AFFO is also reconciled to net income, which is the most
directly comparable IFRS measure. AFFO should not be construed as an alternative to net income or cash flow generated from operating activities determined in accordance with IFRS.
Net operating income - cash basis
Granite uses NOI on a cash basis, which adjusts NOI to exclude lease termination and close-out fees, and the non-cash impact from straight-line rent and tenant incentive amortization recognized
during the period. NOI - cash basis is a commonly used measure by the real estate industry and Granite believes it is a useful supplementary measure of the income generated by and operating
performance of income-producing properties in addition to the most comparable IFRS measure, which Granite believes is NOI. NOI - cash basis is also a key input in Granite's determination of the
fair value of its investment property portfolio.
