Key Performance Measures
The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) utilizes Adjusted EBITDA as the key performance measure.
Adjusted EBITDA provides the CODM with the information necessary to assess operational performance, as well as make resource
and allocation decisions. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to shareholders from continuing operations, adjusted (a) to exclude the impact of (benefit from) provision for income taxes, equity-based compensation expense,
acquisition and transaction expenses, losses on the modification or extinguishment of debt and capital lease obligations, changes in fair value of non-hedge derivative instruments, asset impairment charges, incentive allocations, depreciation and
amortization expense, and interest expense, (b) to include the impact of our pro-rata share of Adjusted EBITDA from unconsolidated entities, and (c) to exclude the impact of equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated entities and the
non-controlling share of Adjusted EBITDA.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income attributable to shareholders from continuing operations to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended
March 31, 2020 and 2019:

The Company uses Funds Available for Distribution (“FAD”) in evaluating its ability to meet its stated dividend policy. FAD is not a financial measure in accordance
with GAAP. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to FAD is net cash provided by operating activities. The Company believes FAD is a useful metric for investors and analysts for similar purposes.
7
The Company defines FAD as: Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities plus principal collections on finance leases, proceeds from sale of assets, and return of capital
distributions from unconsolidated entities, less required payments on debt obligations and capital distributions to non-controlling interest, and excluding changes in working capital.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Net Cash (Used In) Provided by Operating Activities to FAD for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

FAD is subject to a number of limitations and assumptions and there can be no assurance that the Company will generate FAD sufficient to meet its intended dividends.
FAD has material limitations as a liquidity measure of the Company because such measure excludes items that are required elements of the Company’s net cash provided by operating activities as described below. FAD should not be considered in
isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results of operations under GAAP, and it is not the only metric that should be considered in evaluating the Company’s ability to meet its stated dividend policy. Specifically:
| • |
FAD does not include equity capital called from the Company’s existing limited partners, proceeds from any debt issuance or future equity offering, historical cash and cash
equivalents and expected investments in the Company’s operations.
|
| • |
FAD does not give pro forma effect to prior acquisitions, certain of which cannot be quantified.
|
8
| • |
While FAD reflects the cash inflows from sale of certain assets, FAD does not reflect the cash outflows to acquire assets as the Company relies on alternative sources of liquidity to fund such purchases.
|
| • |
FAD does not reflect expenditures related to capital expenditures, acquisitions and other investments as the Company has
multiple sources of liquidity and intends to fund these expenditures with future incurrences of indebtedness, additional capital contributions and/or future issuances of equity.
|
| • |
FAD does not reflect any maintenance capital expenditures necessary to maintain the same level of cash generation from our
capital investments.
|
| • |
FAD does not reflect changes in working capital balances as management believes that changes in working capital are
primarily driven by short term timing differences, which are not meaningful to the Company’s distribution decisions.
|
| • |
Management has significant discretion to make distributions, and the Company is not bound by any contractual provision that requires it to use cash for distributions.
|
If such factors were included in FAD, there can be no assurance that the results would be consistent with the Company’s presentation of FAD.
