GAAP vs adjusted earnings

GAAP earnings follow Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the standard rules for financial reporting. They include accounting gains, losses and expenses that can make profit fluctuate.

Adjusted earnings remove selected items to help explain ongoing performance. The adjustments vary by company, so the company's explanation of the differences matters.

Why Fly High prefers adjusted earnings: we focus on recurring earnings that can support distributions. Fly High's figures come first, followed by comparable company-reported figures, preferably adjusted or other recurring earnings measures. GAAP is a last fallback and is identified when used.

Why low GAAP earnings are not always bad: unrealized investment losses or other non-cash charges can reduce accounting profit without an equivalent fall in recurring income. But losses can still reflect real problems. Adjusted earnings are not cash flow and do not guarantee that a dividend is safe.

Reported GAAP diluted earnings per common share; actual reporting period, not annualized−$0.0100

Actual per-share reporting period, without annualisation. Net investment income, realized gains, unrealized changes and cash distributions are different measures. This comparison is not the Fly High forward Dividend Coverage Ratio. GAAP is shown as the last verified fallback; a comparable adjusted or recurring measure for this period is not available in the approved record.

The income-producing business

Property rent or mortgage-related income, less operating and financing costs, supplies cash resources. Realized gains, noncash accounting and taxable income can differ materially from cash available for dividends.

The earnings available to shareholders depend on the cash generated by these activities after operating and financing costs. Portfolio gains, financing proceeds and recurring income should be evaluated separately.
