Item 8.01. Other Items.
In order to provide a better basis for comparing the results of our operations with those of others in our industry, National Health Investors, Inc. has revised its interpretation of the definition provided by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) for the performance metric, Funds From Operations (“FFO”). We now consider “real estate depreciation” to include all amounts associated with real property under triple-net lease.
To consistently report results of operations in accordance with our revised interpretation, we have restated amounts previously disclosed according to our past interpretation of FFO. With the presentation included as Exhibit 99.1, we provide reconciliation from net income applicable to common shares, the most directly comparable financial GAAP metric, to FFO.
Our measure of FFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other REITs. Consequently, our FFO may not provide a meaningful measure of our performance as compared to that of other REITs. Since other REITs may not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or may have a different interpretation of the current NAREIT definition from us, caution should continue to be exercised when comparing our FFO to that of other REITs.
In addition, we have restated amounts previously reported for our performance metrics, normalized Adjusted FFO and normalized Funds Available for Distribution, to conform to our current definitions.
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
