The projections and estimates given in this document and other written or oral statements made by or on behalf of the Company may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events to differ materially from those projected. Management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, you should not place undue reliance on such statements. These statements are based on current expectations and speak only as of the date of such statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of future events, new information or otherwise. The following are some of the factors that could cause the Company’s actual results and its expectations with respect to strategies to enhance shareholder value to differ materially from those described in the Company’s forward-looking statements: the success of the Company’s business strategies discussed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K dated December 31, 2007, as amended, and in previous filings with the SEC; future conditions in the global capital markets, including changes in the availability of credit and liquidity; future local and national economic conditions, including changes in levels of employment, interest rates, the availability of mortgage and other financing and related factors; demand for apartments in the Company’s markets and the effect on occupancy and rental rates; the impact of competition on the Company’s business, including competition for tenants and development locations for its apartment communities and competing for-sale housing in the markets where the Company is completing condominium conversions or developing new condominiums; the uncertainties associated with the Company’s current and planned future real estate development, including actual costs exceeding the Company’s budgets or development periods exceeding expectations; uncertainties associated with the timing and amount of asset sales, the market for asset sales and the resulting gains/losses associated with such asset sales; the Company’s ability to enter into new joint ventures and the availability of equity financing from traditional real estate investors to fund development activities; the Company’s ability to obtain construction loan financing to fund development activities; uncertainties associated with the Company’s condominium conversion and for-sale housing business; uncertainties associated with loss of personnel in connection with the Company’s reduction of corporate and property development and management overhead; conditions affecting ownership of residential real estate and general conditions in the multifamily residential real estate market; uncertainties associated with environmental and other regulatory matters; the impact of our ongoing litigation with the Equal Rights Center regarding compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Fair Housing Act (including any award of compensatory or punitive damages or injunctive relief requiring us to retrofit apartments or public use areas or prohibiting the sale of apartment communities or condominium units) as well as the impact of other litigation; the effects of changes in accounting policies and other regulatory matters detailed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and the Company’s ability to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code. Other important risk factors regarding the Company are included under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K dated December 31, 2007, as amended, and in the Company’s report on Form 10-Q dated September 30, 2008 and may be discussed in subsequent filings with the SEC.

Post Properties, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated
Statements of Operations
(In thousands, except per share or unit data)
 
(1)   For the three months and year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to 2007, general and administrative costs decreased primarily as a result of reduced executive bonus accruals and reduced accruals for certain award programs which were eliminated as part of the Company’s initiative to reduce expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2008 general and administrative costs also decreased as a result of reduced corporate governance costs. Beginning in the three months ended December 31, 2008, the Company began allocating personnel and other costs, primarily related to accounting, information technology and human resources that support property management and investment operations, from general and administrative expenses to property management and investment and development expenses. Prior period results have been adjusted to reflect the current period presentation.
 
(2)   Investment and development expenses for the three months and year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 included investment group expenses, development personnel and associated costs not allocable to current development projects. Beginning in the three months ended December 31, 2008, the Company classified its land carry costs (primarily property taxes and assessments) to a separate line, “Other investment costs.” Previously, these costs were included in the line captioned investment and development expenses. Prior period results have been adjusted to reflect the current period presentation of land carry costs and other support costs discussed in (1) above.
 
(3)   Strategic review costs for the year ended December 31, 2008 included financial, legal and other costs associated with the Company’s formal process to pursue a possible business combination or other sale transaction. In June 2008, the Company announced that the process had concluded without a business combination or other sale transaction.
 
(4)   Impairment, severance and other costs for the three months and year ended December 31, 2008 included non-cash impairment charges of approximately $61,611 and $90,558, respectively, to write down a substantial portion of the Company’s land held for sale and land held for investment that was deemed impaired, to their estimated fair values and to write off pursuit costs on certain abandoned development projects. Severance charges for the three months and year ended December 31, 2008 totaled approximately $2,949 and $5,540, respectively, related to the elimination of certain employment positions. Lastly, the Company recorded casualty losses of approximately $2,764 related to damage sustained at its Houston, Texas properties as a result of Hurricane Ike for the year ended December 31, 2008.
 
(5)   For the three months and year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, income from continuing operations included net gains from condominium sales activities at newly developed and condominium conversion projects representing portions of existing communities. In addition, condominium gains are net of certain expensed sales and marketing costs associated with pre-sale condominium communities and condominium communities under development totaling $169 and $409 for the three months ended and $736 and $868 for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Net gains from condominium sales activities at other consolidated community conversion projects are included in discontinued operations under generally accepted accounting principles (see (7) below). A summary of revenues and costs and expenses of condominium activities included in continuing operations for the three months and year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was as follows:

(1)   Represents the minority interest in earnings and gains on sales of real estate assets reported as discontinued operations for the periods presented.
 
(2)   Depreciation on wholly-owned real estate assets is net of the minority interest portion of depreciation in consolidated entities.
 
(3)   For condominium conversion projects, the Company recognizes incremental gains on condominium sales in FFO, net of provision for income taxes, to the extent that net sales proceeds, less costs of sales, from the sale of condominium units exceeds the greater of their fair value or net book value as of the date the property is acquired by the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary. For condominium development projects, gains on condominium sales in FFO are equivalent to gains reported under GAAP. See the table entitled “Summary of Condominium Projects” on page 18 for further detail.
 
(4)   Excludes approximately $1,048 of periodically recurring and $308 of annually recurring capital expenditures, respectively, related to the Company’s water intrusion remediation project for the three months and year ended December 31, 2008.
 
(5)   Excludes severance charges of $2,949 and $5,540 for the three months and year ended December 31, 2008, respectively.
 
(6)   Since the Company does not add back the depreciation of non-real estate assets in its calculation of funds from operations, non-real estate related capital expenditures of $79 and $971 for the three months ended and $692 and $2,903 for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, are excluded from the calculation of adjusted funds from operations available to common shareholders and unitholders.
 
(7)   Diluted weighted average shares and units for the three months and year ended December 31, 2008 exclude 19 and 159 shares and units, respectively, that were antidilutive to all income (loss) per share computations under generally accepted accounting principles and the deficit in funds from operations for such periods.

Same Store Results
The Company defines fully stabilized or same store communities as those which have reached stabilization prior to the beginning of the previous calendar year, adjusted by communities sold and classified as held for sale and communities under rehabilitation. Same store net operating income is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. See Table 1 on page 26 for a reconciliation of same store net operating income to GAAP net income. Same store results for current and prior periods include the Company’s two New York communities that are no longer being marketed for sale. The operating performance and capital expenditures of the 38 communities containing 14,029 apartment units which were fully stabilized as of January 1, 2007, is summarized as follows:

(1)   The calculation of average economic occupancy does not include a deduction for net concessions and employee discounts. Average economic occupancy, including these amounts, would have been 93.1% and 94.0% for the three months ended and 93.5% and 93.8% for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, net concessions were $279 and $280, respectively, and employee discounts were $173 and $197, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, net concessions were $1,229 and $988, respectively, and employee discounts were $744 and $816, respectively.
 
(2)   Physical occupancy is defined as the number of units occupied divided by total apartment units, expressed as a percentage.
 
(3)   Average monthly rental rate is defined as the average of the gross actual rates for occupied units and the anticipated rental rates for unoccupied units divided by total units. See Table 2 on page 27 for further information.

(1)   Weighted average rate includes credit enhancements and other fees, where applicable. The weighted average rates for the three months ended December 31, 2007 are based on the debt outstanding for that period.
 
(2)   Weighted average maturity of total debt represents number of years to maturity based on the debt maturities schedule above.
 
(3)   The Company gave notice of its intent to prepay its $92,275 secured weekly remarketed variable rate notes in full in March 2009. These notes have a scheduled maturity in 2029.
 
(4)   Includes outstanding balances on lines of credit of $50,864 maturing in 2010.
 
(5)   Calculated for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
 
(6)   Interest coverage ratio is defined as net income available for debt service divided by interest expense. For purposes of this calculation, net income available for debt service represents income from continuing operations, before preferred or common minority interest, gains on sales of real estate and investment sales, impairment charges, interest expense, depreciation and amortization. Net income available for debt service was also adjusted for the Company’s share of depreciation and interest expense from unconsolidated entities, and interest expense used in the calculation was adjusted to include the Company’s share of interest expense from unconsolidated entities. The calculation of the interest coverage ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of net income available for debt service to income from continuing operations and interest expense to consolidated interest expense is included in Table 4 on page 30.
 
(7)   Fixed charge coverage ratio is defined as net income available for debt service divided by interest expense plus dividends to preferred shareholders and distributions to preferred unitholders. For purposes of this calculation, net income available for debt service represents earnings from continuing operations, before preferred or common minority interest, gains on sales of real estate and investment sales, impairment charges, interest expense, depreciation and amortization. Net income available for debt service was also adjusted for the Company’s share of depreciation and interest expense from unconsolidated entities, and interest expense used in the calculation was adjusted to include the Company’s share of interest expense from unconsolidated entities. The calculation of the fixed coverage ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of net income available for debt service to income from continuing operations and fixed charges to consolidated interest expense plus preferred dividends to shareholders and preferred distributions to unitholders is included in Table 4 on page 30.
 
(8)   A computation of the debt ratios is included in Table 5 on page 31.

(4)   The amounts reflected for this project represent the condominium portion of a mixed-use development currently being developed in an entity owned with other third-party developers. The condominium portion of the project is owned through a joint venture with an Atlanta-based condominium development partner and is branded as The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Atlanta, Buckhead. See footnote 3 on page 21 for further information concerning this venture.
 
(5)   Investments were generally underwritten to achieve targeted yields of approximately 6.00%-6.75% for apartment developments and approximately 20% pre-tax margins on estimated costs for condominium developments. Targeted yields for apartment developments represents the projected unlevered property net operating income (after adjustments for 3% management fee and $300 per unit capital reserves) as a percentage of total estimated construction costs. Targeted pre-tax margins for condominium developments represent projected pre-tax profits from condominium sales activities as a percentage of total estimated construction costs. There can be no assurance that these targets will be achieved.

(1)   Average square footage information is based on approximate amounts and individual unit sizes may vary.
 
(2)   Transfer price for purposes of computing incremental gains on condominium sales included in FFO at conversion projects reflects the greater of (1) the estimated fair value on the date the project was acquired by the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary (as supported by independently-prepared, third-party appraisals) or (2) its net book value at that time.
 
(3)   Including the Company’s share of total estimated construction costs of ground-up condominiums being developed and not yet in active sales (see page 15) of approximately $215.1 million and book value of unsold condominiums above, committed capital to the condominium business at December 31, 2008 totaled approximately $229.7 million.
 
(4)   Unit status is as of February 2, 2009. There can be no assurance that condominium units under contract will close.
 
(5)   Final condominium closings occurred in 2007 at these communities. The Peachtree ResidencesTM is owned in an unconsolidated entity, where the Company’s equity ownership is 35%. Amounts shown, except for incremental gains on condominium sales included in FFO represents gross amounts at the unconsolidated entity level.
 
(6)   For conversion projects, the Company recognizes incremental gains on condominium sales in FFO, net of provision for income taxes, to the extent that net sales proceeds, less costs of sales, from the sale of condominium units exceed the “transfer price” as described in note 2 above. For development projects, gains on condominium sales in FFO are equivalent to gains reported under GAAP.
 
(7)   For co-investment projects, amounts are net of minority interests of $101 and $336 for the three months and $130 and $1,520 for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Excludes the impact of income tax expense of $874 for the three months and year ended December 31, 2008 attributable to gains on condominium sales, as applicable. There was no income tax provision for the three months and year ended December 31, 2007.

Post Properties, Inc.
Capitalized Costs Summary
(Dollars in thousands, except per share or unit data)
(Unaudited)
The Company has a policy of capitalizing those expenditures relating to the acquisition of new assets and the development, construction and rehabilitation of apartment and condominium communities. In addition, the Company capitalizes expenditures that enhance the value of existing assets and expenditures that substantially extend the life of existing assets. All other expenditures necessary to maintain a community in ordinary operating condition are expensed as incurred. Additionally, for new development communities, carpet, vinyl and blind replacements are expensed as incurred during the first five years (which corresponds to the estimated depreciable life of these assets) after construction completion. Thereafter, these replacements are capitalized. Further, the Company expenses as incurred the interior and exterior painting of operating communities, unless those communities are under major rehabilitation.
The Company capitalizes interest, real estate taxes, and certain internal personnel and associated costs related to apartment and condominium communities under development, construction, and major rehabilitation. The internal personnel and associated costs are capitalized to the projects under development based upon the effort identifiable with such projects. The Company treats each unit in an apartment and condominium community separately for cost accumulation, capitalization and expense recognition purposes. Prior to the commencement of leasing and sales activities, interest and other construction costs are capitalized and are reflected on the balance sheet as construction in progress. The Company ceases the capitalization of such costs as the residential units in a community become substantially complete and available for occupancy. This results in a proration of these costs between amounts that are capitalized and expensed as the residential units in a development community become available for occupancy. In addition, prior to the completion of units, the Company expenses as incurred substantially all operating expenses (including pre-opening marketing and property management and leasing personnel expenses) of such communities.
A summary of community acquisition and development improvements and other capitalized expenditures for the three months and year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 is detailed below.

(1)   In 2007, the Company’s investment in the 25% owned Property LLC resulted from the transfer of three previously owned apartment communities to the Property LLC co-owned with an institutional investor. The assets, liabilities and members’ equity of the Property LLC were recorded at fair value based on agreed-upon amounts contributed to the venture. The credit investments in the Company’s 25% owned Property LLC resulted from financing proceeds distributed in excess of the Company’s historical cost-basis investment. These credit investments are reflected in consolidated liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
 
(2)   This credit investment reflects the impact of impairment charges of $3,253 in the three months ended December 31, 2008 and is classified in consolidated liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
 
(3)   The mixed-use project (the “Master JV”) consists of 129 luxury for-sale condominiums to be marketed as The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Atlanta, Buckhead (sponsored through a joint venture between the Company and a private condominium developer; the “Condo JV”) and approximately 425,000 square feet of Class A office space (sponsored through a joint venture between an office REIT and a private office developer). The Condo JV owns an approximate 49% pro-rata interest in the Master JV accounted for on the equity method, representing the condominium portion of the project. The Company has a $15,500 preferred equity interest and a 62.5% residual equity interest in the Condo JV and, consequently, consolidates that entity on its balance sheet. The minority partner’s equity interest in the condo JV, totaling $6,760, is included in the Company’s equity investment reflected above. The Company’s share of gross real estate assets and construction notes payable, net of its partners’ interests, at December 31, 2008 was $35,864 and $14,082, respectively. See page 15 for further information regarding the for-sale condominium portion of the project.
 
(4)   These notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.63% and mature in 2017.
 
(5)   This note bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.71% and matures in 2017.
 
(6)   This note bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.83% and requires monthly interest only payments through 2013. The note is prepayable without penalty in September 2011.
 
(7)   This note bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.82% and requires monthly interest only payments through 2013. The note is prepayable without penalty in September 2011.
 
(8)   At December 31, 2008, $82,517 was outstanding under a $187,128 construction loan facility bearing interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 1.35% and which matures in 2011.
 
(9)   Represents GAAP basis net book value plus accumulated depreciation.

Net Asset Value Supplemental Information
(Dollars in thousands, except per share or unit data)
(Unaudited)
This supplemental financial and other data provides adjustments to certain GAAP financial measures and Net Operating Income (“NOI”), which is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that the Company uses internally to calculate Net Asset Value (“NAV”). These measures, as adjusted, are also non-GAAP financial measures. With the exception of NOI, the most comparable GAAP measure for each of the non-GAAP measures presented below in the “As Adjusted” column is the corresponding number presented in the first column listed below.
The Company presents below NOI for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 for properties stabilized by October 1, 2008 so that a capitalization rate may be applied and an approximate value for the assets determined. Properties not stabilized by July 1, 2008 are presented at full undepreciated cost. Other tangible assets, total liabilities and the liquidation value of preferred shares are also presented.

(2)   The “As Adjusted” amount represents CIP balance per the Company’s balance sheet plus the costs of properties under construction and lease-up that have been transferred to operating real estate assets as apartment units are completed, plus the gross book value for communities under rehabilitation during the fourth quarter of 2008.
 
(3)   The adjustment reflects a reduction for the depreciated book value of three apartment communities held for sale and included in discontinued operations at December 31, 2008, as the net property operating income of these communities has been included in adjusted property net operating income reflected above (see note 1).
 
(4)   The adjustment reflects a reduction for the investments in unconsolidated entities for entities with operating real estate assets as the Company’s net operating income of such investments is included in the adjusted net operating income reflected above. The “As Adjusted” amount represents the consolidated equity investment in 3630 Peachtree South Tower (i.e., The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Atlanta, Buckhead). Minority interest related to 3630 Peachtree South Tower of $6,760 is included in the “As Adjusted” amount in Other Liabilities.
 
(5)   The “As of December 31, 2008” amount represents cash and other assets of unconsolidated apartment entities. The adjustment includes a reduction for the venture partners’ respective share of cash and other assets. The “As Adjusted” amount represents the Company’s respective share of the cash and other assets of unconsolidated apartment entities.
 
(6)   The “As of December 31, 2008” amount consists of the sum of accrued interest payable, dividends and distributions payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, security deposits and prepaid rents, credit investment balances of the Company’s investment in unconsolidated entities and minority interests in consolidated real estate entities as reflected on the Company’s balance sheet. The adjustment represents a reduction for the non-cash liability associated with straight-line, long-term ground lease expense of $13,661 and for credit investment balances of the Company’s investment in three unconsolidated entities of $14,263.
 
(7)   The “As of December 31, 2008” amount represents total liabilities of unconsolidated apartment entities. The adjustment represents a reduction for the venture partner’s respective share of liabilities. The “As Adjusted” amount represents the Company’s respective share of liabilities of unconsolidated apartment entities.

Post Properties, Inc.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Defined Terms
(Dollars in thousands, except per share or unit data)
(Unaudited)
Definitions of Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Defined Terms
The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures and other defined terms in this accompanying Supplemental Financial Data. These non-GAAP financial measures include FFO, AFFO, net operating income, same store capital expenditures and certain debt statistics and ratios. The definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures are summarized below. The Company believes that these measures are helpful to investors in measuring financial performance and/or liquidity and comparing such performance and/or liquidity to other REITs.
Funds from Operations — The Company uses FFO as an operating measure. The Company uses the NAREIT definition of FFO. FFO is defined by NAREIT to mean net income (loss) available to common shareholders determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (losses) from extraordinary items and sales of depreciable operating property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures all determined on a consistent basis in accordance with GAAP. FFO presented in the Company’s press release and Supplemental Financial Data is not necessarily comparable to FFO presented by other real estate companies because not all real estate companies use the same definition. The Company’s FFO is comparable to the FFO of real estate companies that use the current NAREIT definition.
Accounting for real estate assets using historical cost accounting under GAAP assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. NAREIT stated in its April 2002 White Paper on Funds from Operations that “since real estate asset values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves.” As a result, the concept of FFO was created by NAREIT for the REIT industry to provide an alternate measure. Since the Company agrees with the concept of FFO and appreciates the reasons surrounding its creation, the Company believes that FFO is an important supplemental measure of operating performance. In addition, since most equity REITs provide FFO information to the investment community, the Company believes that FFO is a useful supplemental measure for comparing the Company’s results to those of other equity REITs. The Company believes that the line on its consolidated statement of operations entitled “net income (loss) available to common shareholders” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO.
Adjusted Funds From Operations — The Company also uses adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) as an operating measure. AFFO is defined as FFO less operating capital expenditures after adjusting for the impact of non-cash straight-line long-term ground lease expense, non-cash impairment charges, non-cash income (loss) related to mark-to-market of interest rate swap agreements, non-cash debt extinguishment costs and strategic review costs. The Company believes that AFFO is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for an equity REIT because it provides investors with an indication of the REIT’s ability to fund operating capital expenditures through earnings. In addition, since most equity REITs provide AFFO information to the investment community, the Company believes that AFFO is a useful supplemental measure for comparing the Company to other equity REITs. The Company believes that the line on its consolidated statement of operations entitled “net income (loss) available to common shareholders” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to AFFO.
Property Net Operating Income — The Company uses property NOI, including same store NOI and same store NOI by market, as an operating measure. NOI is defined as rental and other revenues from real estate operations less total property and maintenance expenses from real estate operations (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). The Company believes that NOI is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for a REIT’s operating real estate because it provides a measure of the core operations, rather than factoring in depreciation and amortization, financing costs and general and administrative expenses generally incurred at the corporate level. This measure is particularly useful, in the opinion of the Company, in evaluating the performance of geographic operations, same store groupings and individual properties. Additionally, the Company believes that NOI, as defined, is a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance in the real estate investment community. The Company believes that the line on its consolidated statement of operations entitled “net income” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to NOI.

Same Store Capital Expenditures — The Company uses same store annually recurring and periodically recurring capital expenditures as cash flow measures. Same store annually recurring and periodically recurring capital expenditures are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that same store annually recurring and periodically recurring capital expenditures are important indicators of the costs incurred by the Company in maintaining its same store communities on an ongoing basis. The corresponding GAAP measures include information with respect to the Company’s other operating segments consisting of communities stabilized in the prior year, lease-up communities, rehabilitation communities, sold properties and commercial properties in addition to same store information. Therefore, the Company believes that the Company’s presentation of same store annually recurring and periodically recurring capital expenditures is necessary to demonstrate same store replacement costs over time. The Company believes that the most directly comparable GAAP measure to same store annually recurring and periodically recurring capital expenditures are the lines on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows entitled “annually recurring capital expenditures” and “periodically recurring capital expenditures.”
Debt Statistics and Debt Ratios — The Company uses a number of debt statistics and ratios as supplemental measures of liquidity. The numerator and/or the denominator of certain of these statistics and/or ratios include non-GAAP financial measures that have been reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. These debt statistics and ratios include: (1) an interest coverage ratio; (2) a fixed charge coverage ratio; (3) total debt as a percentage of undepreciated real estate (adjusted for joint venture partner’s share of debt); (4) total debt plus preferred equity as a percentage of undepreciated real estate (adjusted for joint venture partner’s share of debt); (5) a ratio of consolidated debt to total assets; (6) a ratio of secured debt to total assets; (7) a ratio of total unencumbered assets to unsecured debt; and (8) a ratio of consolidated income available to debt service to annual debt service charge. A number of these debt statistics and ratios are derived from covenants found in the Company’s debt agreements, including, among others, the Company’s senior unsecured notes. In addition, the Company presents these measures because the degree of leverage could affect the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, development or other general corporate purposes. The Company uses these measures internally as an indicator of liquidity and the Company believes that these measures are also utilized by the investment and analyst communities to better understand the Company’s liquidity.
Average Economic Occupancy — The Company uses average economic occupancy as a statistical measure of operating performance. The Company defines average economic occupancy as gross potential rent less vacancy losses, model expenses and bad debt expenses divided by gross potential rent for the period, expressed as a percentage.
