The Firm believes that non-GAAP core working earnings assists buyers in understanding and evaluating the monetary efficiency of the Firm’s long-term funding technique and core enterprise actions over intervals of time in addition to its earnings capability. A limitation of using this non-GAAP monetary measure is that the impact of accounting for “non-core” occasions or transactions in accordance with GAAP does, the truth is, mirror the monetary outcomes of our enterprise and these results shouldn’t be ignored when evaluating and analyzing our monetary outcomes. For instance, the financial value or advantage of hedging devices apart from rate of interest swap agreements, corresponding to U.S. Treasury be aware futures or choices on U.S. Treasury be aware futures, don’t have an effect on the computation of non-GAAP core working earnings.

Accordingly, non-GAAP core working earnings could not equal the Firm’s distribution necessities as a REIT.
