Funds From Operations - FFO

Funds From Operations - FFO
A figure used by real estate investment trusts (REITs) to define the cash flow from their operations. It is calculated by adding depreciation and amortization expenses to earnings, and sometimes quoted on a per share basis.

The FFO-per-share ratio should be used in lieu of EPS when evaluating REITs and other similar investment trusts.
