VALUATION METHODOLOGY AND RISKS

Valuation Methodology

Real Estate/REITS:

Our REIT valuations generally use two approaches. Most of our target prices are based on a

P/AFFO multiple, with our AFFO forecasts representing estimated recurring free cash flows

after capital expenditures and leasing costs. We incorporate historical and current valuation

multiples of both the company and its peers, as well as our analysis on future growth rate

expectations, company-specific risks, and other inputs from our research when devising the

multiples used to generate our target prices. We also use Net Asset Value (NAV) as a secondary

check, and in some cases as the primary valuation method. Our NAV estimates most often

consist of an applied capitalization rate to estimated forward one year NOI (net operating

income), less debt, but in some cases represent a SOTP valuation.

Investment Risks

Risks to the REIT sector may include: slowing rent growth; higher vacancies; adverse

financial projections.
