FFO is reported in the Segment Note disclosures which are included in the financial report of The GPT Group for the six months ended 30 June 2014.

To provide information that reflects the Directors’ assessment of the net profit attributable to stapled securityholders calculated in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, certain significant items that are relevant to an understanding of GPT’s result have been identified. The reconciliation FFO to Statutory Profit is useful as FFO is the measure of how GPT’s profitability is assessed.

FFO is a financial measure that represents GPT’s underlying and recurring earnings from its operations. This is determined by adjusting statutory net profit after tax under Australian Accounting Standards for certain items which are non-cash, unrealised or capital in nature. FFO has been determined based on guidelines established by the Property Council of Australia and is intended as a measure reflecting the underlying performance of the Group.
