Read MoreHide Full Article
Vornado Realty Trust (VNO - Free Report) reported fourth-quarter 2019 funds from operations (FFO) plus assumed conversions, as adjusted of 89 cents per share, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 83 cents. The reported figure remains flat, year over year.
Total same-store net operating income (NOI) in the New York portfolio as well as at theMART and 555 California buoyed the company’s performance in the fourth quarter.
However, total revenues came in at around $461 million in the reported quarter, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $463 million. Moreover, the revenue figure compares unfavorably with the year-ago tally of $543.4 million.
For full-year 2019, the company reported FFO plus assumed conversions, as adjusted of $3.49 per share, down from $3.73 per share reported in 2018. Revenues for the full year also declined 11% year on year to $1.9 billion.

Also, 52,000 square feet of area was leased at theMart and 30,000 square feet was leased at 555 California Street (21,000 square feet at share).
