Funds From Operations (FFO)


FFO Amount and Payout Ratio

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

Year Quarter Type Amount Dividend Paid Payout Ratio
2025 Q4 Core FFO $0.72 $0.52 71.53%
2025 Q3 Normalized FFO $0.75 $0.52 68.67%
2025 Q3 FFO $0.77 $0.52 66.88%

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.


Dividend to Normalized FFO & FFO Payout Ratio

REITNotes' Dividend to FFO Payout Ratio graph is based on 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.


Stock Price to Normalized FFO & FFO Multiples (TTM)

REITNotes' Price to FFO (P/FFO) Multiples graph is calculated by dividing the REIT’s closing stock price for the day by the Trailing Twelve Month (TTM) Funds from Operations (FFO). For some REITs we also display the Price-to-Adjusted Funds From Operations (P/AFFO), Price-to-Core FFO (P/CFFO), Price-to-Normalized FFO (P/NFFO), Price-to-Modified FFO (P/MFFO), Price-to-Operating (P/FFO), depending on the data provided in the REIT’s Quarterly Earning Reports.
As you may be familiar with, the price-to-earnings ratio (P/E ratio) is a useful tool for investors to gauge the market's valuation of a company’s stock price. The price-to-FFO ratio (or multiple) is a comparable measure used in the REIT industry that compares the REIT’s stock price to its FFO per share instead of its earnings per share (EPS).

Occupancy Rate



Different REITs may report Occupancy levels in various forms/calculations. Some of the terms used to describe occupancy are Portfolio Occupancy, Weighted Average Occupancy, Ending Occupancy, Economic Occupancy, Leased Occupancy, Physical Occupancy, Pro Forma Occupancy, Same-Property Occupancy, Stabilized Portfolio Occupancy, Comparable Occupancy, Lease Rate, Percent Leased, among others. Some REITs interchange the words Occupancy and Leased while others use them to distinguish between data points. Some REITs also vary the use of the words over time through their earning reports. Therefore the information provided here is our best attempt at collecting data on occupancy/leased trends. However, it may not be accurate or comparable between different REITs.
