Frequently Asked Questions

The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to furnish Simon Property Group's earnings release and supplemental financial and operating information for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. It formally announces the release of this information to the public.

The detailed financial results and operational data for Q1 2023 are located in Exhibit 99.1, which is part of this 8-K filing. You should refer to this exhibit for specific performance metrics.

FFO and NOI are non-GAAP financial measures commonly used in the Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) industry. FFO provides a more relevant measure of a REIT's operating performance by adjusting net income for depreciation and amortization (which are non-cash charges) and gains/losses from property sales. NOI represents rental income less operating expenses for properties. SPG uses these metrics to offer investors a clearer view of ongoing operational performance and to compare its results with those of other REITs.

No, investors should not rely solely on non-GAAP measures like FFO and NOI. While these measures offer valuable insights into operational performance and are standard in the REIT sector, they should be considered alongside GAAP-based financial statements (like net income and cash flow) for a complete understanding of the company's financial health and liquidity.
