Understanding AFFO vs FFO

What is FFO?

Funds From Operations (FFO) is a cash flow metric used to evaluate REITs. It adjusts net income by adding back depreciation and amortization, and removing gains/losses from property sales.

Why Use FFO?

  • Provides better cash flow picture than net income
  • Removes non-cash depreciation charges
  • Standard metric for REIT comparison

What is AFFO?

Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) refines FFO by accounting for recurring capital expenditures and maintenance costs needed to sustain the REIT's properties and cash flows.

Why AFFO Matters

  • Better predictor of dividend sustainability
  • Accounts for property maintenance needs
  • More conservative cash flow measure

💡 Key Formulas

FFO = Net Income + D&A + Losses - Gains - Interest Income
AFFO = FFO + Rent Increases - CapEx - Maintenance
