Use of Non-GAAP Information
Net operating income, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as total
revenues, less rental expenses, which excludes depreciation and
amortization, general and administrative expenses, acquisition related
expenses, asset management fees and interest expense, net. The Company
believes that net operating income serves as a useful supplement to net
income because it allows investors and management to measure unlevered
property-level operating results and to compare operating results to the
operating results of other real estate companies between periods on a
consistent basis. Net operating income should not be considered as an
alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as an
indicator of financial performance, and accordingly, the Company
believes that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the
consolidated historical operating results, net operating income should
be examined in conjunction with net income as presented in the condensed
consolidated financial statements and data included on the Company’s
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 15, 2019.
The following are reconciliations of net income attributable to common
stockholders, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial
measure, to net operating income for the three months ended March 31,
2019 and 2018 (amounts in thousands):

The Company generates almost all of the net operating income from
property operations. In order to evaluate the overall portfolio,
management analyzes the net operating income of same store properties.
The Company defines “same store properties” as operating properties that
were owned and operated for the entirety of both calendar periods being
compared and excludes properties under development. By evaluating the
property net operating income of the same store properties, management
is able to monitor the operations of the Company’s existing properties
for comparable periods to measure the performance of the current
portfolio and determine the effects of new acquisitions on net income.

net operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

One of the Company’s objectives is to provide cash distributions to its
stockholders from cash generated by the Company’s operations. The
purchase of real estate assets and real estate-related investments, and
the corresponding expenses associated with that process, is a key
operational feature of the Company’s business plan in order to generate
cash from operations. Due to certain unique operating characteristics of
real estate companies, the National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, an industry trade group, has promulgated a
measure known as FFO which the Company believes is an appropriate
supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. The
use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental
performance measure. FFO is not equivalent to the Company’s net income
as determined under GAAP.
The Company defines FFO, consistent with NAREIT’s definition, as net
income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses)
from sales of property and asset impairment write-downs, plus
depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after
adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be
calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.
The Company, along with others in the real estate industry, consider FFO
to be an appropriate supplemental measure of a REIT’s operating
performance because it is based on a net income analysis of property
portfolio performance that excludes non-cash items such as depreciation
and amortization and asset impairment write-downs, which the Company
believes provides a more complete understanding of its performance to
investors and to its management, and when compared year over year,
reflects the impact on the Company’s operations from trends in occupancy.
Publicly registered, non-listed REITs, such as the Company, typically
have a significant amount of acquisition activity and are substantially
more dynamic during their initial years of investment and operations.
While other start-up entities may also experience significant
acquisition activity during their initial years, the Company believes
that publicly registered, non-listed REITs, like the Company, are unique
in that they have a limited life with targeted exit strategies within a
relatively limited time frame after the acquisition activity ceases. The
Company will use cash flows from operations and debt financings to
acquire real estate assets and real estate-related investments, and the
Company’s board of directors will determine to pursue a liquidity event
when it believes that the then-current market conditions are favorable;
however, the Company’s board of directors does not anticipate evaluating
a liquidity event (i.
