Presentation prepared by Franklin Street Properties Corp. entitled, Investor Presentation, June 2015 |
|
|
This presentation may contain forward-looking
statements based on current judgments and current knowledge of management, which are subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, readers
are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that our forward-looking statements
involve risks and uncertainty, including without limitation, economic conditions in the United States, disruptions in the debt
markets, economic conditions in the markets in which we own properties, risks of a lessening of demand for the types of real estate
owned by us, changes in government regulations and regulatory uncertainty, uncertainty about governmental fiscal policy, geopolitical
events, expenditures that cannot be anticipated such as utility rate and usage increases, unanticipated repairs, additional staffing,
insurance increases, real estate tax valuation reassessments and our failure to maintain our status as a real estate investment
trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Readers are advised to refer to the “Risk Factors”
section of our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information concerning these risks
and uncertainties. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee
future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We do not undertake a duty to update or revise any forward-looking
statements contained in this presentation, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Unless otherwise indicated, all information
contained in this presentation is as of March 31, 2015. This presentation contains references to Funds from Operations (“FFO”),
Adjusted FFO (“AFFO”) and Adjusted EBITDA. Such measurements are non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles)
financial measures. Please refer to pages 16 through 20 for definitions and reconciliations of GAAP net income to FFO and Adjusted
EBITDA. Past financial performance is not a guarantee of future financial performance. Franklin Street Properties Corp. (“FSP”)

of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of GAAP net income to Adjusted EDITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure
on which undue reliance should not be placed. |

EBITDA. |

Definition of Funds From Operations (FFO)
The Company evaluates performance based on Funds From Operations,
which we refer to as FFO, as management believes that FFO represents the most accurate measure of activity and is the basis for
distributions paid to equity holders. The Company defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains
(or losses) from sales of property and acquisition costs of newly acquired properties that are not capitalized, plus depreciation
and amortization, including amortization of acquired above and below market lease intangibles and impairment charges on properties
or investments in non-consolidated REITs, and after adjustments to exclude equity in income or losses from, and, to include the
proportionate share of FFO from, non-consolidated REITs.
FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined
in accordance with GAAP), nor as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance, nor as an alternative to cash flows
from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), nor as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, nor is it necessarily
indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company’s needs.
Other real estate companies and the National Association of Real
Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, may define this term in a different manner. We have included the NAREIT FFO definition in
our table and note that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or may interpret the current
NAREIT definition differently than we do.
We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the
results of the Company, FFO should be examined in connection with net income and cash flows from operating, investing and financing
activities in the consolidated financial statements.
Definition of Adjusted Funds From Operations
(AFFO)
The Company defines AFFO as the sum of (1) FFO; (2) excluding our
proportionate share of FFO and including distributions received, from non-consolidated REITs; (3) excluding the effect of straight-line
rent; (4) plus deferred financing costs, (5) less recurring capital expenditures that are generally for (a) maintenance of properties,
which we call non-investment capex or are second generation capital expenditures. Second generation costs include re-tenanting
space after a tenant vacates, which include tenant improvements and leasing commissions.
We exclude development/redevelopment activities, capital expenditures
planned at acquisition and costs to reposition a property. We also exclude first generation leasing costs, which are generally
to fill vacant space in properties we acquire or were planned for at acquisition.
AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined
in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance, nor as an alternative to cash flows from
operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), nor as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, nor is it necessarily
indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company’s needs. Other real estate companies may define this term in
a different manner. We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the results of the Company, AFFO should be
examined in connection with net income and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in the consolidated financial
statements.

Definition of Earnings before Interest, Taxes,
Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA is defined as net income plus interest expense, income tax
expense and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding gains and losses on sales of
properties or shares of equity investments or provisions for losses on assets held for sale. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not
intended to represent cash flow for the period, are not presented as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of operating
performance, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP
and are not indicative of operating income or cash provided by operating activities as determined under GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA are presented solely as a supplemental disclosure with respect to liquidity because the Company believes it provides useful
information regarding the Company's ability to service or incur debt. Because all companies do not calculate EBITDA or Adjusted
EBITDA the same way, this presentation may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company believes
that net income is the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that is most directly comparable to EBITDA
and Adjusted EBITDA.
