Clarion Partners Real Estate Income Fund Inc. Announces Funds from Operations

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Clarion Partners Real Estate Income Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) has announced funds from operations (“FFO”), adjusted funds from operations and funds available for distribution for the period of January 1, 2025 to March 31, 2025. The Fund believes FFO is a meaningful supplemental non-GAAP operating metric. FFO is a standard real estate investment trust (“REIT”) industry metric defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO as presented below is calculated as a net increase in net assets resulting from operations (computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”)), excluding (i) gains or losses from sales of investments and (ii) the change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments. The Fund also believes that adjusted FFO (“AFFO”) is a meaningful non-GAAP supplemental disclosure of its operating results. AFFO further adjusts FFO in order for the Fund’s operating results to reflect the specific characteristics of its business by adjusting for items it believes are not related to its core operations. The Fund’s adjustments to FFO to arrive at AFFO include removing the impact of (i) amortization of premium (accretion of discount) on real estate securities, (ii) amortization of deferred origination fees and (iii) amortization of deferred loan financing costs. Furthermore, the Fund believes that funds available for distribution (“FAD”) is an additional meaningful non-GAAP supplemental disclosure that provides useful information for considering Fund operating results and certain other items relative to the amount of Fund distributions by removing the impact of certain non-cash items from Fund operating results. FAD is calculated as AFFO excluding (i) recurring tenant improvements, leasing commissions and other capital expenditures and adjusted for (ii) undistributed/(overdistributed) income attributable to non-consolidated joint ventures. FAD is not indicative of cash available to fund the Fund’s cash needs and does not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, as it excludes adjustments for working capital items. FFO, AFFO and FAD should not be considered more relevant or accurate than the GAAP methodology in evaluating the Fund’s operating performance. In addition, FFO, AFFO and FAD should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) as indications of the Fund’s performance or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as indications of liquidity, but rather should be reviewed in conjunction with these and other GAAP measurements. Further, FFO, AFFO and FAD are not intended to be used as liquidity measures indicative of cash flow available to fund the Fund’s cash needs, including its ability to make distributions to stockholders. The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that continuously offers its common stock. The Fund’s investment manager, Franklin Templeton Fund Adviser, LLC, is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc. (“Franklin Resources”) and the Fund’s investment subadviser, Clarion Partners, LLC (“Clarion Partners”), is an indirect, majority-owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources. In addition, the Fund’s securities subadviser, Western Asset Management Company, LLC (“Western Asset”), also is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources.
