Statements made in this release may include forward-looking statements, which involve substantial risks and uncertainties. RSO's actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied in this release. The risks and uncertainties associated with forward-looking statements contained in this release include those related to:
fluctuations in interest rates and related hedging activities;
the availability of debt and equity capital to acquire and finance investments;
defaults or bankruptcies by borrowers on RSO's loans or on loans underlying its investments;
adverse market trends which have affected and may continue to affect the value of real estate and other assets underlying RSO's investments;
increases in financing or administrative costs; and
general business and economic conditions that have impaired and may continue to impair the credit quality of borrowers and RSO's ability to originate loans.
For further information concerning these and other risks pertaining to the forward-looking statements contained in this release, and to the general risks to which RSO is subject, see Item 1A, "Risk Factors" included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K and the risks expressed in other of its public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
RSO cautions you not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements contained in this release, which speak only as of the date of this release. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to RSO or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this release. Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, RSO undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this filing or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
The remainder of this release contains RSO's unaudited consolidated balance sheets, unaudited consolidated statements of income, reconciliation of GAAP net income to FFO and AFFO and a summary of CDO and CLO performance statistics and supplemental information regarding RSO's CRE loan and bank loan portfolios.
RSO currently evaluates its performance based on several performance measures, including FFO and AFFO (both non-GAAP measures), in addition to net income. RSO computes FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses on the sale of depreciable real estate, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated/uncombined partnerships and joint ventures.
AFFO is a computation made by analysts and investors to measure a real estate company's cash flow generated by operations. RSO calculates AFFO by adding or subtracting from FFO: non-cash impairment losses resulting from fair value adjustments on financial instruments, non-cash impacts of the following: provision for loan losses, gains on the extinguishment of debt, equity investment losses, straight-line rental effects, share based compensation, amortization of various deferred items and intangible assets, gains on sales of property through a joint venture and cash impact of capital expenditures that are related to RSO's real estate owned.
Management believes that FFO and AFFO are appropriate measures of RSO's operating performance in that they are frequently used by analysts, investors and other parties in the evaluation of REITs. Management uses FFO and AFFO as measures of RSO's operating performance, and believes they are also useful to investors, because they facilitate an understanding of RSO's operating performance after adjustment for certain non-cash items, such as real estate depreciation, share-based compensation and various other items required by GAAP, and capital expenditures, that may not necessarily be indicative of current operating performance and that may not accurately compare RSO's operating performance between periods.
While RSO's calculation of AFFO may differ from the methodology used for calculating AFFO by other REITs and its AFFO may not be comparable to AFFO reported by other REITs, RSO also believes that FFO and AFFO may provide it and its investors with an additional useful measure to compare its performance with some other REITs. Neither FFO nor AFFO is equivalent to net income or cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, FFO and AFFO do not represent amounts available for management's discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments or uncertainties. Neither FFO nor AFFO should be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of RSO's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of its liquidity.
