- Acquired an office property in Columbus, Ohio for $6.1 million and invested $13.7 million in build-to-suit projects.
T. Wilson Eglin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lexington, stated, "We have had success this year in executing our business plan by completing asset sales of $145.0 million at a weighted-average capitalization rate of 6.8%, reducing debt by $80.0 million, raising overall portfolio occupancy from 93.4% to 95.6% and funding $163.8 million of investments, which have a current weighted-average yield of 9.5%.

(1) Lexington believes that Funds from Operations ("FFO") is a widely recognized and appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT. Lexington presents FFO because it considers FFO an important supplemental measure of Lexington's operating performance. Lexington believes FFO is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is intended to exclude generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. As a result, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, interest costs and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation and amortization, providing perspective that may not necessarily be apparent from net income.
FFO is determined in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. ("NAREIT"). FFO is defined by NAREIT as "net income (or loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures." FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.
Lexington includes in its calculation of FFO, which Lexington refers to as the "Company's funds from operations" or "Company FFO," Lexington's operating partnership units, Lexington's Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares, and Lexington's 6.00% Convertible Notes because these securities are convertible, at the holder's option, into Lexington's common shares. Management believes this is appropriate and relevant to securities analysts, investors and other interested parties because Lexington presents Company FFO on a company-wide basis as if all securities that are convertible, at the holder's option, into Lexington's common shares, are converted. Since others do not calculate FFO in a similar fashion, Company FFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures as reported by others.
