FFO is generally considered by industry analysts to be an appropriate measure of operating performance of real estate companies. FFO does not necessarily represent cash provided by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of NNN’s operating performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions. Management considers FFO an appropriate measure of operating performance of an equity REIT because it primarily excludes the assumption that the value of the real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, and because industry analysts have accepted it as an operating performance measure. NNN’s computation of FFO may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO used by other equity REITs, and therefore, may not be comparable to such other REITs. 

All revenue generating property dispositions and revenue generating properties held for sale at December 31, 2013 from NNN’s Property Portfolio are classified as discontinued operations. These properties have not historically been classified as discontinued operations, therefore, prior period comparable consolidated financial statements have been restated to include these properties in earnings from discontinued operations. These adjustments resulted in a decrease in NNN’s reported total revenues and total and per share earnings from continuing operations and an increase in NNN’s earnings from discontinued operations. However, NNN’s total and per share net earnings available to common stockholders is not affected. 

The following table reconciles FFO to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net earnings for the years ended December 31:
