Outlook
For the first quarter of 2018, the Company has established the following earnings guidance ranges:
Net income per share | $0.06 to $0.08 | ||||
FFO per share | $0.46 to $0.48 | ||||
FFO as Adjusted per share | $0.46 to $0.48 | ||||
AFFO per share | $0.44 to $0.46 | ||||
For the full-year 2018, the Company has established the following earnings guidance ranges:
Net income per share | $0.26 to $0.30 | ||||
FFO per share | $1.91 to $1.95 | ||||
FFO as Adjusted per share | $1.91 to $1.95 | ||||
AFFO per share | $1.76 to $1.80 | ||||
Full-Year 2017 FFO as Adjusted per share as compared to full-year 2018 guidance at the midpoint:
The difference between the Company’s full-year 2017 FFO as Adjusted of $1.87 per share and the $1.93 midpoint of its full-year 2018 FFO as Adjusted guidance range is primarily due to:
- A positive impact of approximately $0.07 from same-store, joint venture and commercial operations;
- A negative impact of approximately $0.01 from higher LIBOR and other non-core items;
- A neutral impact from development and Developer Capital Program investments after accounting for costs to fund; and
- Flat general and administrative expense year-over-year.
For the full-year 2018, the Company has established the following same-store growth guidance ranges:
Revenue | 2.50% to 3.50% | ||||
Expense | 2.50% to 3.50% | ||||
Net operating income | 2.50% to 3.50% | ||||
