Funds From Operations (FFO)


FFO Amount and Payout Ratio

Below are the FFO amounts, dividends, and payout ratios for the last two quarters for ESRT. Compare FFO to other REITs at REITFFO.

Year Quarter Type Amount Dividend Paid Payout Ratio
2025 Q4 FFO $0.24 $0.04 14.58%
2025 Q3 FFO $0.22 $0.04 15.91%
2025 Q3 Core FFO $0.23 $0.04 15.22%

REITNotes uses the REIT's Funds From Operation (FFO) per diluted share informed in the REIT’s Quarterly Earning Reports and its announced dividend per diluted share. For some REITs, we also display the Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO), Core FFO, Normalized FFO (NFFO), Modified FFO (MFFO), Operating FFO as provided by the REIT. REITNotes™ calculates the payout ratio by dividing the dividend value paid during the current quarter by the FFO declared in the previous Quarter. E.g., we divide the dividend value paid in Q3 by the FFO reported in Q2. This is because although paid in Q3, the dividend value is usually declared during the previous quarter. FFO is a non-GAAP measure recognized by the SEC and provided by the REITs as a supplemental measure of their operating performance. FFO is not meant to be an indicator of the REIT’s capacity to pay current or future dividends nor to be a substitute to the REIT's cash flow from operations. It is recommended to check the REIT's website, Earning Reports and dividend announcements for the latest and updated information. The “Payout Ratio” is calculated by dividing the “Dividends Paid” column by the “FFO Amount” column. Some REITs may have two types of FFO (eg. FFO and Modified FFO) while others may have just one type of FFO.
