EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2017 of Vornado Realty Trust and Vornado Realty L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “Vornado” refer to Vornado Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”), and references to the “Operating Partnership” refer to Vornado Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. References to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean collectively Vornado, the Operating Partnership and those subsidiaries consolidated by Vornado.

The Operating Partnership is the entity through which we conduct substantially all of our business and own, either directly or through subsidiaries, substantially all of our assets. Vornado is the sole general partner and also a 93.5% limited partner of the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, Vornado has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management.

Under the limited partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, unitholders may present their Class A units for redemption at any time (subject to restrictions agreed upon at the time of issuance of the units that may restrict such right for a period of time). Class A units may be tendered for redemption to the Operating Partnership for cash; Vornado, at its option, may assume that obligation and pay the holder either cash or Vornado common shares on a one-for-one basis. Because the number of Vornado common shares outstanding at all times equals the number of Class A units owned by Vornado, the redemption value of each Class A unit is equivalent to the market value of one Vornado common share, and the quarterly distribution to a Class A unitholder is equal to the quarterly dividend paid to a Vornado common shareholder. This one-for-one exchange ratio is subject to specified adjustments to prevent dilution. Vornado generally expects that it will elect to issue its common shares in connection with each such presentation for redemption rather than having the Operating Partnership pay cash. With each such exchange or redemption, Vornado’s percentage ownership in the Operating Partnership will increase. In addition, whenever Vornado issues common shares other than to acquire Class A units of the Operating Partnership, Vornado must contribute any net proceeds it receives to the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership must issue to Vornado an equivalent number of Class A units of the Operating Partnership. This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT.

The Company believes that combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of Vornado and the Operating Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits:


•	enhances investors’ understanding of Vornado and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;


•	eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation because a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both Vornado and the Operating Partnership; and


•	creates time and cost efficiencies in the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

The Company believes it is important to understand the few differences between Vornado and the Operating Partnership in the context of how Vornado and the Operating Partnership operate as a consolidated company. The financial results of the Operating Partnership are consolidated into the financial statements of Vornado. Vornado does not have any significant assets, liabilities or operations, other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership, not Vornado, generally executes all significant business relationships other than transactions involving the securities of Vornado. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all of the assets of Vornado. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for the net proceeds from equity offerings by Vornado, which are contributed to the capital of the Operating Partnership in exchange for units of limited partnership in the Operating Partnership, as applicable, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company’s business. These sources may include working capital, net cash provided by operating activities, borrowings under the revolving credit facility, the issuance of secured and unsecured debt and equity securities, and proceeds received from the disposition of certain properties.

To help investors better understand the key differences between Vornado and the Operating Partnership, certain information for Vornado and the Operating Partnership in this report has been separated, as set forth below:


•	Item 1. Financial Statements (unaudited), which includes the following specific disclosures for Vornado Realty Trust and Vornado Realty L.P.:


•	Note 10. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests/Redeemable Partnership Units


•	Note 18. (Loss) Income Per Share/(Loss) Income Per Class A Unit


•	Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes information specific to each entity, where applicable.

This report also includes separate Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibits 31 and 32 certifications for each of Vornado and the Operating Partnership in order to establish that the requisite certifications have been made and that Vornado and the Operating Partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and 18 U.S.C. §1350.

1.	Organization

Vornado Realty Trust (“Vornado”) is a fully integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and conducts its business through, and substantially all of its interests in properties are held by, Vornado Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). Vornado is the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 93.5% of the common limited partnership interest in, the Operating Partnership as of September 30, 2017. All references to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” mean collectively Vornado, the Operating Partnership and those entities/subsidiaries consolidated by Vornado.


2.	Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the accounts of Vornado and the Operating Partnership and their consolidated subsidiaries. All inter-company amounts have been eliminated. In our opinion, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2016, as filed with the SEC.

As a result of the spin-off of our Washington, DC segment, effective July 1, 2017, the historical results of our Washington, DC segment are reflected in our consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

We have made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

3.	Recently Issued Accounting Literature

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update ("ASU 2014-09") establishing Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). ASU 2014-09, as amended by subsequent ASUs on the topic, establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. This standard, which is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2017, requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures. We will adopt this standard effective January 1, 2018, with the exception of the components of revenue from leases, which has been deferred until the adoption of the update ASU 2016-02 to ASC Topic 842, Leases, on January 1, 2019. We will utilize the modified retrospective method when adopting ASU 2014-09, which requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. We have analyzed our revenue streams and identified the areas that we expect to be impacted by the adoption of this standard. We expect this standard will have an impact on the classification of reimbursements of real estate taxes and insurance expenses and certain non-lease components of revenue (e.g., reimbursements of common area maintenance expenses) from leases with no material impact on "total revenues", for new leases executed on or after January 1, 2019. We are in the process of completing the evaluation of the overall impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements, including required informational disclosures for our revenue streams beginning with the first reporting period after adoption.

In January 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-01”) Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities to ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-01 amends certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. We will adopt this standard effective January 1, 2018. While the adoption of this standard requires us to continue to measure “marketable securities” at fair value at each reporting date, the changes in fair value will be recognized in current period earnings as opposed to “other comprehensive income (loss).”

In February 2016, the FASB issued an update ASU 2016-02 establishing ASC Topic 842, Leases, which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase. Lessees are required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. Lessees will recognize expense based on the effective interest method for finance leases or on a straight-line basis for operating leases. We are currently evaluating the overall impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements and believe that the standard will more significantly impact the accounting for leases in which we are a lessee. We have a number of ground leases for which we will be required to record a right-of-use asset and lease liability equal to the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments upon adoption of this standard. We also expect that this standard will require us to allocate total consideration from leases between lease and non-lease components based on the estimated stand-alone selling prices of the components. The lease components (e.g., base rent) will continue to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and certain non-lease components (e.g., reimbursements of common area maintenance expenses) will be accounted for under the new revenue recognition guidance of ASU 2014-09. As a result, we expect that this standard will have an impact on the classification of reimbursements of real estate taxes, insurance expenses and common area maintenance expenses on our consolidated statements of income, with no impact on "total revenue", for new leases executed on or after January 1, 2019. Under ASU 2016-02, initial direct costs for both lessees and lessors would include only those costs that are incremental to the arrangement and would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained. As a result, we may no longer be able to capitalize internal leasing costs and instead may be required to expense these costs as incurred. ASU 2016-02 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt this standard effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach and will elect to use the practical expedients provided by this standard.

In March 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-09”) Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting to ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASU 2016-09 amends several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 was effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of this update as of January 1, 2017 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

3.	Recently Issued Accounting Literature - continued

In August 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-15”) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments to ASC Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows. ASU 2016-15 clarifies guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows to reduce diversity in practice with respect to (i) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (ii) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, (iii) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (iv) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, (v) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, (vi) distributions received from equity method investees, (vii) beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and (viii) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. ASU 2016-15 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We elected to early adopt ASU 2016-15 effective January 1, 2017, with retrospective application to our consolidated statements of cash flows. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 impacted our classification of distributions received from equity method investees. We selected the nature of earnings approach for classifying distributions. Under this approach, the distributions from equity method investees are classified on the basis of the nature of the activity of the investee that generated the distribution. The retrospective application of ASU 2016-15 resulted in the reclassification of certain distributions of income from partially owned entities to distributions of capital from partially owned entities, which reduced net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used in investing activities by $1,839,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

In November 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-18”) Restricted Cash to ASC Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows. ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents will be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of period and end of period balances on the statement of cash flows upon adoption of this standard. ASU 2016-18 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We elected to early adopt ASU 2016-18 effective January 1, 2017, with retrospective application to our consolidated statements of cash flows. Accordingly, the consolidated statements of cash flows present a reconciliation of the changes in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. Restricted cash primarily consists of security deposits, cash restricted for the purposes of facilitating a Section 1031 Like-Kind Exchange, cash restricted in connection with our deferred compensation plan and cash escrowed under loan agreements for debt service, real estate taxes, property insurance and capital improvements.

In February 2017, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2017-05”) Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets to ASC Subtopic 610-20, Other Income-Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets. ASU 2017-05 clarifies the scope of recently established guidance on nonfinancial asset derecognition, as well as the accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. This update conforms the derecognition guidance on nonfinancial assets with the model for transactions in ASC 606. ASU 2017-05 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2018 is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2017-09”) Scope of Modification Accounting to ASC 718. ASU 2017-09 provides guidance about which changes to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in ASC 718. ASU 2017-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2018 is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2017-12”) Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities to ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). ASU 2017-12 amends the hedge accounting recognition and presentation requirements in ASC 815. The update is intended to more closely align hedge accounting with companies’ risk management strategies, simplify the application of hedge accounting and increase transparency as to the scope and results of hedge programs. ASU 2017-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-12 on our consolidated financial statements, but do not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

4.	Real Estate Fund Investments

We are the general partner and investment manager of Vornado Capital Partners Real Estate Fund (the “Fund”) and own a 25.0% interest in the Fund, which has an eight-year term and a three-year investment period that ended in July 2013. The Fund is accounted for under ASC 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (“ASC 946”) and its investments are reported on its balance sheet at fair value, with changes in value each period recognized in earnings. We consolidate the accounts of the Fund into our consolidated financial statements, retaining the fair value basis of accounting.

We are also the general partner and investment manager of the Crowne Plaza Times Square Hotel Joint Venture (the “Crowne Plaza Joint Venture”) and own a 57.1% interest in the joint venture which owns the 24.7% interest in the Crowne Plaza Times Square Hotel not owned by the Fund. The Crowne Plaza Joint Venture is also accounted for under ASC 946 and we consolidate the accounts of the joint venture into our consolidated financial statements, retaining the fair value basis of accounting.

On September 29, 2017, the Fund completed the sale of 800 Corporate Pointe in Culver City, CA for $148,000,000. From the inception of this investment through its disposition, the Fund realized a $35,620,000 net gain.

As of September 30, 2017, we had five real estate fund investments through the Fund and the Crowne Plaza Joint Venture with an aggregate fair value of $351,750,000, or $95,136,000 in excess of cost, and had remaining unfunded commitments of $117,872,000, of which our share was $34,502,000.

Alexander’s, Inc. (“Alexander’s”) (NYSE: ALX)

As of September 30, 2017, we own 1,654,068 Alexander’s common shares, representing a 32.4% interest in Alexander’s. We account for our investment in Alexander’s under the equity method. We manage, lease and develop Alexander’s properties pursuant to agreements which expire in March of each year and are automatically renewable.

As of September 30, 2017, the market value (“fair value” pursuant to ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”)) of our investment in Alexander’s, based on Alexander’s September 29, 2017 quarter ended closing share price of $424.09, was $701,474,000, or $575,842,000 in excess of the carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2017, the carrying amount of our investment in Alexander’s, excluding amounts owed to us, exceeds our share of the equity in the net assets of Alexander’s by approximately $39,418,000. The majority of this basis difference resulted from the excess of our purchase price for the Alexander’s common stock acquired over the book value of Alexander’s net assets. Substantially all of this basis difference was allocated, based on our estimates of the fair values of Alexander’s assets and liabilities, to real estate (land and buildings). We are amortizing the basis difference related to the buildings into earnings as additional depreciation expense over their estimated useful lives. This depreciation is not material to our share of equity in Alexander’s net income. The basis difference related to the land will be recognized upon disposition of our investment.

On June 1, 2017, Alexander’s completed a $500,000,000 refinancing of the office portion of 731 Lexington Avenue. The interest-only loan is at LIBOR plus 0.90% (2.14% at September 30, 2017) and matures in June 2020 with four one-year extension options. In connection therewith, Alexander’s purchased an interest rate cap with a notional amount of $500,000,000 that caps LIBOR at a rate of 6.00%. The property was previously encumbered by a $300,000,000 interest-only mortgage at LIBOR plus 0.95% which was scheduled to mature in March 2021.

Urban Edge Properties (“UE”) (NYSE: UE)

As of September 30, 2017, we own 5,717,184 UE operating partnership units, representing a 4.5% ownership interest in UE. We account for our investment in UE under the equity method and record our share of UE’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis. In 2017 and 2016, we provided UE with information technology support. UE is providing us with leasing and property management services for (i) certain small retail properties that we plan to sell, and (ii) our affiliate, Alexander’s, Rego Park retail assets. As of September 30, 2017, the fair value of our investment in UE, based on UE’s September 29, 2017 quarter ended closing share price of $24.12, was $137,898,000, or $91,356,000 in excess of the carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, UE issued approximately 6,250,000 and 20,250,000 operating partnership units related to property acquisitions and public offerings of its common stock. As a result, our ownership interest in UE decreased to 4.5% from 5.4%. In accordance with ASC 323-10-40-1, we account for a unit issuance by an equity method investee as if we had sold a proportionate share of our investment. Accordingly, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded $5,200,000 and $21,100,000, respectively, of net gains in connection with these issuances which are included in “(loss) income from partially owned entities” on our consolidated statements of income.

Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (“PREIT”) (NYSE: PEI)

As of September 30, 2017, we own 6,250,000 PREIT operating partnership units, representing an 8.0% interest in PREIT. We account for our investment in PREIT under the equity method and record our share of PREIT’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis.

Based on PREIT’s September 29, 2017 quarter ended closing share price of $10.49, the market value (“fair value” pursuant to ASC Topic 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures) of our investment in PREIT was $65,563,000 or $44,465,000 below the carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet. We have concluded that our investment in PREIT is “other-than-temporarily” impaired and recorded a $44,465,000 non-cash impairment loss on our consolidated statements of income. Our conclusion was based on a sustained trading value of PREIT stock below our carrying amount and our inability to forecast a recovery in the near-term.

As of September 30, 2017, the carrying amount of our investment in PREIT exceeds our share of the equity in the net assets of PREIT by approximately $33,399,000. The majority of this basis difference resulted from the excess of the fair value of the PREIT operating units received over our share of the book value of PREIT’s net assets. Substantially all of this basis difference was allocated, based on our estimates of the fair values of PREIT’s assets and liabilities, to real estate (land and buildings). We are amortizing the basis difference related to the buildings into earnings as additional depreciation expense over their estimated useful lives. This depreciation is not material to our share of equity in PREIT’s net loss. The basis difference related to the land will be recognized upon disposition of our investment.

Moynihan Office Building

In September 2016, our 50.1% joint venture with the Related Companies (“Related”) was designated by Empire State Development (“ESD”), an entity of New York State to redevelop the historic Farley Post Office building. The building will include a new Moynihan Train Hall and approximately 850,000 rentable square feet of commercial space, comprised of approximately 730,000 square feet of office space and approximately 120,000 square feet of retail space. On June 15, 2017, the joint venture closed a 99-year, triple-net lease with ESD for the commercial space at the Moynihan Office Building and made a $230,000,000 upfront contribution, of which our share is $115,230,000, towards the construction of the train hall. The lease calls for annual rent payments of $5,000,000 plus payments in lieu of real estate taxes. Simultaneously, the joint venture completed a $271,000,000 loan facility, with an initial advance of $202,299,000. The interest-only loan is at LIBOR plus 3.25% (4.48% at September 30, 2017) and matures in June 2019 with two one-year extension options.

The joint venture has also entered into a development agreement with ESD and a design-build contract with Skanska Moynihan Train Hall Builders. Under the development agreement with ESD, the joint venture is obligated to build the Moynihan Train Hall, with Vornado and Related each guaranteeing the joint venture’s obligations. Under the design-build agreement, Skanska Moynihan Train Hall Builders is obligated to fulfill all of the joint venture’s obligations. The obligations of Skanska Moynihan Train Hall Builders have been bonded by Skanska USA and bears a full guaranty from Skanska AB.

7.	Dispositions

Discontinued Operations

On July 17, 2017, we completed the spin-off of our Washington, DC segment comprised of (i) 37 office properties totaling over 11.1 million square feet, five multifamily properties with 3,133 units and five other assets totaling approximately 406,000 square feet and (ii) 18 future development assets totaling over 10.4 million square feet of estimated potential development density, and (iii) $412.5 million of cash ($275.0 million plus The Bartlett financing proceeds less transaction costs and other mortgage items) to JBG SMITH Properties (“JBGS”). On July 18, 2017, JBGS was combined with the management business and certain Washington, DC assets of The JBG Companies (“JBG”), a Washington, DC real estate company. Steven Roth, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Chief Executive Officer of Vornado, is the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of JBGS. Mitchell Schear, former President of our Washington, DC business, is a member of the Board of Trustees of JBGS. We are providing transition services to JBGS initially including information technology, financial reporting and payroll services. The spin-off was effected through a tax-free distribution by Vornado to the holders of Vornado common shares of all of the common shares of JBGS at the rate of one JBGS common share for every two common shares of Vornado and the distribution by the Operating Partnership to the holders of its common units of all of the outstanding common units of JBG SMITH Properties LP (“JBGSLP”) at the rate of one JBGSLP common unit for every two common units of VRLP held of record. See JBGS’ Amendment No. 3 on Form 10 (File No. 1-37994) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 9, 2017 for additional information. Beginning in the third quarter of 2017, the historical financial results of our Washington, DC segment are reflected in our consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

On June 20, 2017, we completed a $220,000,000 financing of The Bartlett residential building. The five-year interest-only loan is at LIBOR plus 1.70% (2.90% at September 30, 2017), and matures in June 2022. On July 17, 2017, the property, the loan and the $217,000,000 of net proceeds were transferred to JBGS in connection with the tax-free spin-off of our Washington, DC segment.

On July 17, 2017, prior to completion of the tax-free spin-off of our Washington, DC segment, we repaid the $43,581,000 LIBOR plus 1.25% mortgage encumbering 1700 and 1730 M Street which was scheduled to mature in August 2017. The unencumbered property was then transferred to JBGS in connection with the tax-free spin-off of our Washington, DC segment.

10.	Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests/Redeemable Partnership Units

Redeemable noncontrolling interests on Vornado’s consolidated balance sheets and redeemable partnership units on the consolidated balance sheets of the Operating Partnership are primarily comprised of Class A Operating Partnership units held by third parties and are recorded at the greater of their carrying amount or redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the value from period to period are charged to “additional capital” in Vornado’s consolidated statements of changes in equity and to “partners’ capital” on the consolidated balance sheets of the Operating Partnership.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the aggregate redemption value of redeemable Class A units of the Operating Partnership, which are those units held by third parties, was $965,276,000 and $1,273,018,000, respectively.

Redeemable noncontrolling interests/redeemable partnership units exclude our Series G-1 through G-4 convertible preferred units and Series D-13 cumulative redeemable preferred units, as they are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities and Equity, because of their possible settlement by issuing a variable number of Vornado common shares. Accordingly, the fair value of these units is included as a component of “other liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets and aggregated $50,561,000 as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Changes in the value from period to period, if any, are charged to “interest and debt expense” on our consolidated statements of income.

12.	Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs")

Unconsolidated VIEs

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we have several unconsolidated VIEs. We do not consolidate these entities because we are not the primary beneficiary and the nature of our involvement in the activities of these entities does not give us power over decisions that significantly affect these entities’ economic performance. We account for our investment in these entities under the equity method (see Note 6 – Investments in Partially Owned Entities). As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the net carrying amount of our investments in these entities was $350,920,000 and $392,150,000, respectively, and our maximum exposure to loss in these entities is limited to our investments.

Consolidated VIEs

Our most significant consolidated VIEs are the Operating Partnership (for Vornado), real estate fund investments, and certain properties that have noncontrolling interests. These entities are VIEs because the noncontrolling interests do not have substantive kick-out or participating rights.

13. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The objective of fair value is to determine the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 – observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 – unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret Level 2 and 3 inputs in determining the fair value of our financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Accordingly, our fair value estimates, which are made at the end of each reporting period, may be different than the amounts that may ultimately be realized upon sale or disposition of these assets.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets consist of (i) marketable securities, (ii) real estate fund investments, (iii) the assets in our deferred compensation plan (for which there is a corresponding liability on our consolidated balance sheet), (iv) interest rate swaps and (v) mandatorily redeemable instruments (Series G-1 through G-4 convertible preferred units and Series D-13 cumulative redeemable preferred units). The tables below aggregate the fair values of these financial assets and liabilities by their levels in the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Real Estate Fund Investments

As of September 30, 2017, we had five real estate fund investments with an aggregate fair value of $351,750,000, or $95,136,000 in excess of cost. These investments are classified as Level 3. We use a discounted cash flow valuation technique to estimate the fair value of each of these investments, which is updated quarterly by personnel responsible for the management of each investment and reviewed by senior management at each reporting period. The discounted cash flow valuation technique requires us to estimate cash flows for each investment over the anticipated holding period, which currently ranges from 0.8 to 3.3 years. Cash flows are derived from property rental revenue (base rents plus reimbursements) less operating expenses, real estate taxes and capital and other costs, plus projected sales proceeds in the year of exit. Property rental revenue is based on leases currently in place and our estimates for future leasing activity, which are based on current market rents for similar space plus a projected growth factor. Similarly, estimated operating expenses and real estate taxes are based on amounts incurred in the current period plus a projected growth factor for future periods. Anticipated sales proceeds at the end of an investment’s expected holding period are determined based on the net cash flow of the investment in the year of exit, divided by a terminal capitalization rate, less estimated selling costs.

The fair value of each property is calculated by discounting the future cash flows (including the projected sales proceeds), using an appropriate discount rate and then reduced by the property’s outstanding debt, if any, to determine the fair value of the equity in each investment. Significant unobservable quantitative inputs used in determining the fair value of each investment include capitalization rates and discount rates. These rates are based on the location, type and nature of each property, current and anticipated market conditions, industry publications and the experience of our Acquisitions and Capital Markets departments. Significant unobservable quantitative inputs in the table below were utilized in determining the fair value of these real estate fund investments at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.



	Range		Weighted Average (based on fair value of investments)
Unobservable Quantitative Input	September 30, 2017	December 31, 2016	September 30, 2017	December 31, 2016
Discount rates	10.0% to 14.9%	10.0% to 14.9%	12.5%	12.6%
Terminal capitalization rates	4.7% to 5.8%	4.3% to 5.8%	5.4%	5.3%

The above inputs are subject to change based on changes in economic and market conditions and/or changes in use or timing of exit. Changes in discount rates and terminal capitalization rates result in increases or decreases in the fair values of these investments. The discount rates encompass, among other things, uncertainties in the valuation models with respect to terminal capitalization rates and the amount and timing of cash flows. Therefore, a change in the fair value of these investments resulting from a change in the terminal capitalization rate may be partially offset by a change in the discount rate. It is not possible for us to predict the effect of future economic or market conditions on our estimated fair values.

The table below summarizes the changes in the fair value of real estate fund investments that are classified as Level 3, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Deferred Compensation Plan Assets

Deferred compensation plan assets that are classified as Level 3 consist of investments in limited partnerships and investment funds, which are managed by third parties. We receive quarterly financial reports from a third party administrator, which are compiled from the quarterly reports provided to them from each limited partnership and investment fund. The quarterly reports provide net asset values on a fair value basis which are audited by independent public accounting firms on an annual basis. The third party administrator does not adjust these values in determining our share of the net assets and we do not adjust these values when reported in our consolidated financial statements.

The table below summarizes the changes in the fair value of deferred compensation plan assets that are classified as Level 3, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Financial Assets and Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value

Financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets include cash equivalents (primarily money market funds, which invest in obligations of the United States government), and our secured and unsecured debt. Estimates of the fair value of these instruments are determined by the standard practice of modeling the contractual cash flows required under the instrument and discounting them back to their present value at the appropriate current risk adjusted interest rate, which is provided by a third-party specialist. For floating rate debt, we use forward rates derived from observable market yield curves to project the expected cash flows we would be required to make under the instrument. The fair values of cash equivalents and borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facilities and unsecured term loan are classified as Level 1. The fair values of our secured and unsecured debt are classified as Level 2. The table below summarizes the carrying amounts and fair value of these financial instruments as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Insurance - continued

Penn Plaza Insurance Company, LLC (“PPIC”), our wholly owned consolidated subsidiary, acts as a re-insurer with respect to a portion of all risk property and rental value insurance and a portion of our earthquake insurance coverage, and as a direct insurer for coverage for acts of terrorism including NBCR acts. Coverage for acts of terrorism (excluding NBCR acts) is fully reinsured by third party insurance companies and the Federal government with no exposure to PPIC. For NBCR acts, PPIC is responsible for a deductible of $1,976,000 and 17% of the balance of a covered loss and the Federal government is responsible for the remaining portion of a covered loss. We are ultimately responsible for any loss incurred by PPIC.

We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and cost of coverage for acts of terrorism. However, we cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in the future.

Our debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by our properties which are non-recourse to us, senior unsecured notes and revolving credit agreements contain customary covenants requiring us to maintain insurance. Although we believe that we have adequate insurance coverage for purposes of these agreements, we may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable cost in the future. Further, if lenders insist on greater coverage than we are able to obtain, it could adversely affect our ability to finance our properties and expand our portfolio.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

We are from time to time involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters is not currently expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Each of our properties has been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment at various times. The environmental assessments did not reveal any material environmental contamination. However, there can be no assurance that the identification of new areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, the discovery of additional sites or changes in cleanup requirements would not result in significant cost to us.

Generally, our mortgage loans are non-recourse to us. However, in certain cases we have provided guarantees or master leased tenant space. These guarantees and master leases terminate either upon the satisfaction of specified circumstances or repayment of the underlying loans. As of September 30, 2017, the aggregate dollar amount of these guarantees and master leases is approximately $676,000,000.

As of September 30, 2017, $10,501,000 of letters of credit were outstanding under one of our unsecured revolving credit facilities. Our unsecured revolving credit facilities contain financial covenants that require us to maintain minimum interest rate coverage and maximum debt to market capitalization ratios, and provide for higher interest rates in the event of a decline in our ratings below Baa3/BBB. Our unsecured revolving credit facilities also contain customary conditions precedent to borrowing, including representations and warranties, and also contain customary events of default that could give rise to accelerated repayment, including such items as failure to pay interest or principal.

In September 2016, our 50.1% joint venture with Related was designated by ESD, an entity of New York State to redevelop the historic Farley Post Office Building (see page 24). The joint venture entered into a development agreement with ESD and a design-build contract with Skanska Moynihan Train Hall Builders. Under the development agreement with ESD, the joint venture is obligated to build the Moynihan Train Hall, with Vornado and Related each guaranteeing the joint venture’s obligations. Under the design-build agreement, Skanska Moynihan Train Hall Builders is obligated to fulfill all of the joint venture’s obligations. The obligations of Skanska Moynihan Train Hall Builders have been bonded by Skanska USA and bears a full guaranty from Skanska AB.

As of September 30, 2017, we expect to fund additional capital to certain of our partially owned entities aggregating approximately $45,000,000.

As of September 30, 2017, we have construction commitments aggregating approximately $489,000,000.

20.	Segment Information - continued

Notes to preceding tabular information:

(1)

EBITDA represents "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization." NOI represents "Net Operating Income" on a cash basis. We calculate EBITDA and NOI on an Operating Partnership basis which is before allocation to the noncontrolling interest of the Operating Partnership. We consider EBITDA the primary non-GAAP financial measure for making decisions and assessing the unlevered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. We also consider NOI a key non-GAAP financial measure. NOI is before general and administrative expenses, straight-line rental income and expense, amortization of acquired below and above market leases, net, acquisition and transaction related costs, our share of net realized and unrealized gains or losses from our real estate fund investments, impairment losses and gains on disposal of assets. As properties are bought and sold based on a multiple of NOI, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to those of our peers. EBITDA and NOI should not be considered substitutes for net income. EBITDA and NOI may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Our 7.5% interest in Fashion Centre Mall/Washington Tower and our interest in Rosslyn Plaza (ranging from 43.7% to 50.4%) were not included in the spin-off of our Washington, DC segment and have been reclassified to Other. The prior year's presentation has been conformed to the current year. In addition, on January 1, 2017, we reclassified our investment in 85 Tenth Avenue from Other to the New York segment as a result of the December 1, 2016 repayment of our loans receivable and the receipt of a 49.9% ownership interest in the property.


(2)	Adjustments include our proportionate share of partially owned entities and give effect to noncontrolling interest's share of consolidated subsidiaries.

(a)	Beginning in January 2017 for office buildings with retail at the base, we have adjusted the allocation of real estate taxes between the retail and office elements above.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Shareholders and Board of Trustees

Vornado Realty Trust

New York, New York

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and changes in equity and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust as of December 31, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended prior to the reclassification for the discontinued operations described in Note 7 to the accompanying financial statements (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 13, 2017, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. We also audited the adjustments described in Note 7 that were applied to reclassify the December 31, 2016 consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust (not presented herein) for discontinued operations. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied to the previously issued consolidated balance sheet in deriving the accompanying retrospectively adjusted consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report constitute forward‑looking statements as such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They represent our intentions, plans, expectations and beliefs and are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Our future results, financial condition and business may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “would,” “may” or other similar expressions in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q. We also note the following forward-looking statements: in the case of our development and redevelopment projects, the estimated completion date, estimated project cost and cost to complete; and estimates of future capital expenditures, dividends to common and preferred shareholders and operating partnership distributions. Many of the factors that will determine the outcome of these and our other forward-looking statements are beyond our ability to control or predict. For further discussion of factors that could materially affect the outcome of our forward-looking statements, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2016. For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or the date of any document incorporated by reference. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to our forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes a discussion of our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year presentation.

Overview

Business Objective and Operating Strategy

Our business objective is to maximize Vornado shareholder value, which we measure by the total return provided to Vornado’s shareholders. Below is a table comparing Vornado’s performance to the FTSE NAREIT Office Index (“Office REIT”) and the MSCI US REIT Index (“MSCI”) for the following periods ended September 30, 2017:



	Total Return⁽¹⁾
	Vornado		Office REIT		MSCI
Three-month	2.3	%	(0.7	)%	0.9	%
Nine-month	(6.7	)%	1.9	%	3.6	%
One-year	(3.1	)%	2.5	%	0.5	%
Three-year	14.0	%	30.3	%	31.9	%
Five-year	52.0	%	53.7	%	58.0	%
Ten-year	38.9	%	47.0	%	75.6	%

____________________


(1)	Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance.

Overview - continued

We intend to achieve our business objective by continuing to pursue our investment philosophy and executing our operating strategies through:


•	maintaining a superior team of operating and investment professionals and an entrepreneurial spirit


•	investing in properties in select markets, such as New York City, where we believe there is a high likelihood of capital appreciation


•	acquiring quality properties at a discount to replacement cost and where there is a significant potential for higher rents


•	investing in retail properties in select under-stored locations such as the New York City metropolitan area


•	developing and redeveloping existing properties to increase returns and maximize value


•	investing in operating companies that have a significant real estate component

We expect to finance our growth, acquisitions and investments using internally generated funds, proceeds from asset sales and by accessing the public and private capital markets. We may also offer Vornado common or preferred shares or Operating Partnership units in exchange for property and may repurchase or otherwise reacquire these securities in the future.

We compete with a large number of real estate property owners and developers, some of which may be willing to accept lower returns on their investments. Principal factors of competition are rents charged, sales prices, attractiveness of location, the quality of the property and the breadth and the quality of services provided. Our success depends upon, among other factors, trends of the global, national, regional and local economies, the financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants and customers, availability and cost of capital, construction and renovation costs, taxes, governmental regulations, legislation, population and employment trends. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2016, for additional information regarding these factors.

Based on PREIT’s September 29, 2017 quarter ended closing share price of $10.49, the market value (“fair value” pursuant to ASC Topic 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures) of our investment in PREIT was $65,563 or $44,465 below the carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet. We have concluded that our investment in PREIT is “other-than-temporarily” impaired and recorded a $44,465 non-cash impairment loss on our consolidated statements of income. Our conclusion was based on a sustained trading value of PREIT stock below our carrying amount and our inability to forecast a recovery in the near-term.


(2)	2017 includes a $5,200 net gain resulting from UE operating partnership unit issuances.

Interest and Other Investment Income, net

Interest and other investment income, net, was $9,306,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $6,459,000 in the prior year’s quarter, an increase of $2,847,000. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in the value of investments in our deferred compensation plan (offset by a corresponding decrease in the liability for plan assets in general and administrative expenses).

Interest and debt expense was $85,068,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $79,721,000 in the prior year’s quarter, an increase of $5,347,000. This increase was primarily due to (i) $8,533,000 of higher interest expense relating to our variable rate loans, (ii) $2,093,000 of higher interest expense from the refinancing of 350 Park Avenue and the $375,000,000 drawn on our $750,000,000 delayed draw term loan, (iii) $1,351,000 of higher interest expense from the 1535 Broadway capital lease obligation, partially offset by (iv) $4,751,000 higher capitalized interest and debt expense and (v) $2,137,000 of interest savings from the refinancing of theMART.

Income Tax Expense

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, income tax expense was $1,188,000, compared to $4,563,000 for the prior year’s quarter, a decrease of $3,375,000. This decrease was primarily due to our right this year to offset certain tax losses against certain taxable income of our taxable REIT subsidiaries.

(Loss) Income from Discontinued Operations

The table below sets forth the combined results of operations of assets related to discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, substantially all of which is related to our former Washington, DC business which was spun-off on July 17, 2017.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Subsidiaries

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries was $4,022,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $3,658,000 for the prior year’s quarter, an increase of $364,000. This increase resulted primarily from higher net income allocated to the noncontrolling interests, including noncontrolling interests of our real estate fund investments.

Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests in the Operating Partnership (Vornado Realty Trust)

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership was $1,878,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $4,366,000 for the prior year’s quarter, a decrease in income of $6,244,000. This decrease resulted primarily from lower net income subject to allocation to Class A unitholders.

Preferred Share Dividends of Vornado Realty Trust

Preferred share dividends were $16,128,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $19,047,000 for the prior year’s quarter, a decrease of $2,919,000. The decrease is primarily due to the redemption of the 6.875% Series J cumulative redeemable preferred shares on September 1, 2016.

Same Store EBITDA and Same Store NOI

Same store EBITDA and same store NOI represents EBITDA and NOI from property-level operations which are owned by us and in service in both the current and prior year reporting periods. Same store EBITDA excludes segment-level overhead expenses, which are expenses that we do not consider to be property-level expenses. We present these non-GAAP measures to (i) facilitate meaningful comparisons of the operational performance of our properties and segments, (ii) make decisions on whether to buy, sell or refinance properties, and (iii) compare the performance of our properties and segments to those of our peers. Same store EBITDA and same store NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

(1)

Based on PREIT’s September 29, 2017 quarter ended closing share price of $10.49, the market value (“fair value” pursuant to ASC Topic 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures) of our investment in PREIT was $65,563 or $44,465 below the carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet. We have concluded that our investment in PREIT is “other-than-temporarily” impaired and recorded a $44,465 non-cash impairment loss on our consolidated statements of income. Our conclusion was based on a sustained trading value of PREIT stock below our carrying amount and our inability to forecast a recovery in the near-term.

This increase was primarily due to (i) $13,545,000 of higher interest expense relating to our variable rate loans (ii) $6,056,000 higher interest expense from the refinancing of 350 Park Avenue and the $375,000,000 drawn on our $750,000,000 delayed draw term loan, (iii) $4,488,000 of higher interest expense from the 1535 Broadway capital lease obligation, partially offset by (iv) $13,469,000 higher capitalized interest and debt expense, and (v) $8,626,000 of interest savings from the refinancing of theMART.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Property rental income is our primary source of cash flow and is dependent upon the occupancy and rental rates of our properties. Our cash requirements include property operating expenses, capital improvements, tenant improvements, debt service, leasing commissions, dividends to shareholders, distributions to unitholders of the Operating Partnership, as well as acquisition and development costs. Other sources of liquidity to fund cash requirements include proceeds from debt financings, including mortgage loans, senior unsecured borrowings, and our revolving credit facilities; proceeds from the issuance of common and preferred equity; and asset sales.

We anticipate that cash flow from continuing operations over the next twelve months will be adequate to fund our business operations, cash distributions to unitholders of the Operating Partnership, cash dividends to shareholders, debt amortization and recurring capital expenditures. Capital requirements for development expenditures and acquisitions may require funding from borrowings and/or equity offerings.

We may from time to time purchase or retire outstanding debt securities or redeem our equity securities. Such purchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements and other factors. The amounts involved in connection with these transactions could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

In September 2016, our 50.1% joint venture with Related was designated by ESD, an entity of New York State to redevelop the historic Farley Post Office Building. The joint venture entered into a development agreement with ESD and a design-build contract with Skanska Moynihan Train Hall Builders. Under the development agreement with ESD, the joint venture is obligated to build the Moynihan Train Hall, with Vornado and Related each guaranteeing the joint venture’s obligations. Under the design-build agreement, Skanska Moynihan Train Hall Builders is obligated to fulfill all of the joint venture’s obligations. The obligations of Skanska Moynihan Train Hall Builders have been bonded by Skanska USA and bears a full guaranty from Skanska AB.

As of September 30, 2017, we expect to fund additional capital to certain of our partially owned entities aggregating approximately $45,000,000.

As of September 30, 2017, we have construction commitments aggregating approximately $489,000,000.

Funds From Operations (“FFO”)

Vornado Realty Trust

FFO is computed in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude net gains from sales of depreciated real estate assets, real estate impairment losses, depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets and other specified non-cash items, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries. FFO and FFO per diluted share are non-GAAP financial measures used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a performance measure or cash flow as a liquidity measure. FFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. The calculations of both the numerator and denominator used in the computation of income per share are disclosed in Note 18 – (Loss) Income Per Share/(Loss) Income Per Class A Unit, in our consolidated financial statements on page 39 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

FFO for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

FFO attributable to common shareholders plus assumed conversions was $100,178,000, or $0.52 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $225,529,000, or $1.19 per diluted share, for the prior year’s three months. FFO attributable to common shareholders plus assumed conversions was $564,431,000, or $2.95 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $658,880,000, or $3.47 per diluted share, for the prior year’s nine months. Details of certain adjustments to FFO are discussed in the financial results summary of our “Overview”.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates. Market interest rates are sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control. Our exposure to a change in interest rates on our consolidated and non-consolidated debt (all of which arises out of non-trading activity) is as follows:



(Amounts in thousands, except per share and per unit amounts)	2017						2016
	September 30, Balance		Weighted Average Interest Rate	Effect of 1% Change In Base Rates			December 31, Balance		Weighted Average Interest Rate

Total change in annual net income attributable to the Operating Partnership				55,969
Noncontrolling interests’ share of the Operating Partnership				(3,481		)

Total change in annual net income attributable to the Operating Partnership per diluted Class A unit				$	0.28
Total change in annual net income attributable to Vornado per diluted share				$	0.27

We may utilize various financial instruments to mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations on our cash flows and earnings, including hedging strategies, depending on our analysis of the interest rate environment and the costs and risks of such strategies. As of September 30, 2017, we have an interest rate swap on a $408,000,000 mortgage loan on Two Penn Plaza that swapped the rate from LIBOR plus 1.65% (2.89% as of September 30, 2017) to a fixed rate of 4.78% through March 2018, an interest rate swap on a $375,000,000 mortgage loan on 888 Seventh Avenue that swapped the rate from LIBOR plus 1.60% (2.84% as of September 30, 2017) to a fixed rate of 3.15% through December 2020 and an interest rate swap on a $700,000,000 mortgage loan on 770 Broadway that swapped the rate from LIBOR plus 1.75% (2.98% as of September 30, 2017) to a fixed rate of 2.56% through September 2020.

Fair Value of Debt

The estimated fair value of our consolidated debt is calculated based on current market prices and discounted cash flows at the current rate at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings for the remaining term of such debt. As of September 30, 2017, the estimated fair value of our consolidated debt was $9,483,000,000.
