Vornado Realty Trust (VNO - Free Report) reported third-quarter 2020 funds from operations (FFO) plus assumed conversions as adjusted of 59 cents per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 64 cents. The reported figure also plunged 33.7% year over year.
A decline in same-store net operating income (NOI) in the New York portfolio and theMART affected the company’s quarterly results.
Total revenues were $364 million in the reported quarter, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $363 million. However, the revenue figure compares unfavorably with the year-ago number of $466 million.
During the reported quarter, the company collected 93% of rent due. This comprised collections of 95% from its office tenants and 82% from retail tenants.
