Earnings Guidance

Camden updated its earnings guidance for 2011 based on its current and expected views of the apartment market and general economic conditions. Full-year 2011 FFO is expected to be $2.70 to $2.74 per diluted share, and full-year 2011 EPS is expected to be $0.24 to $0.28 per diluted share. Fourth quarter 2011 earnings guidance is $0.81 to $0.85 per diluted share for FFO and $0.20 to $0.24 per diluted share for EPS. Guidance for EPS excludes potential future gains on the sale of properties. Camden intends to update its earnings guidance to the market on a quarterly basis.

The Company’s 2011 earnings guidance is based on projections of same property revenue growth between 5.2% and 5.6%, expense growth between 2.75% and 3.25%, and NOI growth between 6.75% and 7.25%.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

DEFINITIONS & RECONCILIATIONS

   

(In thousands, except per share amounts)

                         
       
(Unaudited)
 
This document contains certain non-GAAP financial measures management believes are useful in evaluating an equity REIT's performance. Camden's definitions and calculations of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those used by other REITs, and thus may not be comparable. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our operating performance, or to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.
 
 
 

FFO

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) currently defines FFO as net income attributable to common shares computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), excluding gains or losses from depreciable operating property sales, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Camden’s definition of diluted FFO also assumes conversion of all dilutive convertible securities, including minority interests, which are convertible into common equity. The Company considers FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance because, by excluding gains or losses on dispositions of operating properties and excluding depreciation, FFO can help one compare the operating performance of a company's real estate between periods or as compared to different companies. A reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to FFO is provided below:

Expected FFO
Expected FFO is calculated in a method consistent with historical FFO, and is considered an appropriate supplemental measure of expected operating performance when compared to expected net income attributable to common shareholders (EPS).

Net Operating Income (NOI)

NOI is defined by the Company as total property income less property operating and maintenance expenses less real estate taxes. The Company considers NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance to net income attributable to common shareholders because it reflects the operating performance of our communities without allocation of corporate level property management overhead or general and administrative costs.

EBITDA

EBITDA is defined by the Company as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, including net operating income from discontinued operations, excluding equity in (income) loss of joint ventures, (gain) loss on sale of unconsolidated joint venture interests, and income (loss) allocated to noncontrolling interests. The Company considers EBITDA to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance to net income attributable to common shareholders because it represents income before non-cash depreciation and the cost of debt, and excludes gains or losses from property dispositions. A reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to EBITDA is provided below:
