SL GREEN REALTY CORP.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES –
DISCLOSURES

Funds from Operations (FFO)

FFO is a widely recognized non-GAAP measure of REIT performance. The
Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by the
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which
may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute
FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the
NAREIT definition differently than the Company does. The revised White
Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in April 2002,
and subsequently amended, defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in
accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP),
excluding gains (or losses) from sales of properties, debt
restructurings and real estate related impairment charges, plus real
estate related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

The Company presents FFO because it considers it an important
supplemental measure of the Company’s operating performance and believes
that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other
interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, particularly those that
own and operate commercial office properties. The Company also uses FFO
as one of several criteria to determine performance-based bonuses for
members of its senior management. FFO is intended to exclude GAAP
historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related
assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes
ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen
or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO excludes depreciation and
amortization unique to real estate, gains and losses from property
dispositions, and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure
that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations
from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, and
interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net
income. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities
in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative
to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indication of
the Company’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating
activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the
Company’s liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the
Company’s cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.

Funds Available for Distribution (FAD)

FAD is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as FFO plus
non-real estate depreciation, allowance for straight line credit loss,
adjustment for straight line ground rent, non-cash deferred
compensation, and a pro-rata adjustment for FAD for SLG’s unconsolidated
JV, less straight line rental income, free rent net of amortization,
second cycle tenant improvement and leasing costs, and recurring
building improvements.

FAD is not intended to represent cash flow for the period and is not
indicative of cash flow provided by operating activities as determined
in accordance with GAAP. FAD is presented solely as a supplemental
disclosure with respect to liquidity because the Company believes it
provides useful information regarding the Company’s ability to fund its
dividends. Because all companies do not calculate FAD the same way, the
presentation of FAD may not be comparable to similarly titled measures
of other companies. FAD does not represent cash flow from operating,
investing and finance activities in accordance with GAAP and should not
be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance
with GAAP), as an indication of the Company’s financial performance, as
an alternative to net cash flows from operating activities (determined
in accordance with GAAP), or as a measure of the Company’s liquidity.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation
and Amortization for Real Estate (EBITDAre)

EBITDAre is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company computes EBITDAre
in accordance with standards established by the National Association of
Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which may not be comparable to
EBITDAre reported by other REITs that do not compute EBITDAre in
accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT
definition differently than the Company does. The White Paper on
EBITDAre approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in September 2017
defines EBITDAre as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP), plus interest
expense, plus income tax expense, plus depreciation and amortization,
plus (minus) losses and gains on the disposition of depreciated
property, plus impairment write-downs of depreciated property and
investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, plus adjustments to
reflect the entity’s share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated joint ventures.

The Company presents EBITDAre, because the Company believes that
EBITDAre, along with cash flow from operating activities, investing
activities and financing activities, provides investors with an
additional indicator of the Company’s ability to incur and service debt.
EBITDAre should not be considered as an alternative to net income
(determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indication of the Company’s
financial performance, as an alternative to net cash flows from
operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), or as a
measure of the Company’s liquidity.

Net Operating Income (NOI) and Cash NOI

NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as operating
income before transaction related costs, gains/losses on early
extinguishment of debt, marketing general and administrative expenses
and non-real estate revenue. Cash NOI is calculated by subtracting free
rent (net of amortization), straight-line rent, FAS 141 rental income
from NOI, while adding ground lease straight-line adjustment and the
allowance for straight-line tenant credit loss.

The Company presents NOI and Cash NOI because the Company believes that
these measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP
financial measures and our reconciliations, provide investors with
meaningful information regarding the operating performance of
properties. When operating performance is compared across multiple
periods, the investor is provided with information not immediately
apparent from net income that is determined in accordance with GAAP. NOI
and Cash NOI provide information on trends in the revenue generated and
expenses incurred in operating our properties, unaffected by the cost of
leverage, straight-line adjustments, depreciation, amortization, and
other net income components. The Company uses these metrics internally
as performance measures. None of these measures is an alternative to net
income (determined in accordance with GAAP) and same-store performance
should not be considered an alternative to GAAP net income performance.

Debt to Market Capitalization Ratio

Debt to Market Capitalization is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated
as the Company’s consolidated debt divided by the Company’s estimated
market value based upon the quarter-end trading price of the Company’s
common stock multiplied by all common shares and operating partnership
units outstanding plus the face value of the Company’s preferred equity.

The Company presents the ratio of debt to market capitalization as a
measure of the Company’s leverage position relative to the Company’s
estimated market value. The Company believes this ratio may provide
investors with another measure of the Company’s current leverage
position. The debt to market capitalization ratio should be used as one
measure of the Company’s leverage position, and this measure is commonly
used in the REIT sector; however, such measure may not be comparable to
those used by other REITs that do not compute such measure in the same
manner. The debt to market capitalization ratio does not represent the
Company’s borrowing capacity and should not be considered an alternative
measure to the Company’s current lending arrangements.

Coverage Ratios

The Company presents fixed charge and debt service coverage ratios to
provide a measure of the Company’s financial flexibility to service
current debt amortization, interest expense and ground rent from current
cash net operating income. These coverage ratios represent a common
measure of the Company’s ability to service fixed cash payments;
however, these ratios are not used as an alternative to cash flow from
operating, financing and investing activities (determined in accordance
with GAAP).
