- Same-Store Property Cash Net Operating Income (“NOI”) increased 5.2% year-over-year, excluding the $0.02 per share of lease termination fees, primarily driven by higher revenues from cash rent commencement inclusive of a net increase of approximately $1.7 million from non-recurring revenue items in the comparable periods, which was partially offset by increases in operating expenses.

The estimates set forth above may be subject to fluctuations as a result of several factors, including continued impacts of changes in the use of office space and remote work on our business and our market, our ability to complete planned capital improvements in line with budget, costs of integration of completed acquisitions, costs associated with future acquisitions or other transactions, straight-line rent adjustments and the amortization of above and below-market leases. There can be no assurance that the Company’s actual results will not differ materially from the estimates set forth above.
