"I am extremely pleased with our operational and transactional execution in the first quarter.  The portfolio evolution is nearly completed as we remain on track for our disposition guidance, and the results of these transactional efforts were on display as same-store NOI was strong at 3.4%," commented David J. Oakes, president and chief executive officer of DDR. 

2016 Guidance
The Company is raising the lower end of the range of its 2016 Operating FFO and NAREIT defined FFO to a revised estimated range of $1.20 to $1.25 per diluted share from a range of $1.19 to $1.25 per diluted share.

Non-GAAP Disclosures
FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measurement used as a standard in the real estate industry and a widely accepted measure of real estate investment trust ("REIT") performance.  Management believes that FFO and Operating FFO provide additional indicators of the financial performance of a REIT.  The Company also believes that FFO and Operating FFO more appropriately measure the core operations of the Company and provide benchmarks to its peer group.  Neither FFO nor Operating FFO represents cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), is necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

FFO is defined and calculated by the Company as net income, adjusted to exclude:  (i) preferred share dividends, (ii) gains and losses from disposition of depreciable real estate property, which are presented net of taxes, (iii) impairment charges on depreciable real estate property and related investments and (iv) certain non-cash items.  These non-cash items principally include real property depreciation and amortization of intangibles, equity income from joint ventures and equity income from non-controlling interests and adding the Company's proportionate share of FFO from its unconsolidated joint ventures and non-controlling interests, determined on a consistent basis.  The Company calculates Operating FFO by excluding the non-operating charges and gains described below.  The Company computes FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition.  Other real estate companies may calculate FFO and Operating FFO in a different manner.  Operating FFO is useful to investors as the Company removes these charges and gains to analyze the results of its operations and assess performance of the core operating real estate portfolio.  A reconciliation of net income (loss) to FFO and Operating FFO is presented herein.
