FFO (Funds from Operations) and NOI (Net Operating Income) are non-GAAP financial measures that SPG uses to assess its operating performance. FFO is widely recognized as a key performance metric for Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), providing a more accurate view of operating performance than net income alone.

SPG uses these measures to provide a relevant basis for comparison among REITs and internally to manage its portfolio.

The Supplemental Information package provides a granular view of SPG's operations, including leasing information, top tenants, property listings, and operational metrics for its U.S. Regional Mall portfolio, U.S. Premium Outlet Centers®, and U.S. Community/Lifestyle Centers.
