Earnings Guidance

Earnings Guidance
|  |  | $ per share
| Net Income |  | Adjusted Income
Prior full year 2017 guidance | $2.15 - $2.65 |  | $3.00 - $3.50
Updated full year 2017 guidance | $1.21 - $1.71 |  | $2.25 - $2.75
Additional SAFE gain | $0.64 |  | $0.64
Full year 2017 guidance (under new accounting standards) | $1.85 - $2.35 |  | $2.89 - $3.39

Guidance Updates
The $2.0 billion of comprehensive capital market transactions described in this release will result in a one-time pre-payment penalty of approximately $9 million, or $0.10 per diluted common share, in the fourth quarter and $16 million, or $0.19 per diluted common share, of premium over book value on the redemption of preferred stock in the third quarter. Going forward, the transaction is expected to decrease expenses underlying earnings by $0.43 per diluted common share.
Asset sales are a material part of the Company's business and have material impact to earnings and earnings guidance. Several asset sales, representing approximately $0.65 per diluted common share of forecasted 2017 income, are now expected to occur in 2018.
In addition, the Company will be required under GAAP to recognize an additional $55 million, or $0.64 per diluted common share, gain associated with the second quarter sale of its ground lease business to SAFE. This gain will not initially appear in the Company’s 2017 financial results, but will be retrospectively recognized in the Company's 2017 financial results once new accounting standards become effective on January 1, 2018.
This guidance assumes, among other things, the closing of certain property sales and that general macro economic conditions continue to remain favorable. Please see the financial tables that follow the text of this press release for a reconciliation from GAAP net income guidance to adjusted income guidance.

_______________________________________________________________________________
Note: In addition to net income (loss) prepared in conformity with GAAP, the Company uses adjusted income, a non-GAAP financial measure, to measure its operating performance. Adjusted income is used internally as a supplemental performance measure adjusting for certain non-cash GAAP measures to give management a view of income more directly derived from current period activity. Adjusted income is calculated as net income (loss) allocable to common shareholders, prior to the effect of depreciation and amortization, provision for (recovery of) loan losses, impairment of assets, stock-based compensation expense, the non-cash portion of gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt and is adjusted for the effect of gains or losses on charge-offs and dispositions on carrying value gross of loan loss reserves and impairments ("Adjusted Income"). In the third quarter 2017, the Company modified its presentation of Adjusted Income to exclude the effect of the amount of the liquidation preference that was recorded as a premium above book value on the redemption of preferred stock and the imputed non-cash interest expense recognized for the conversion feature of its senior convertible notes. Adjusted Income should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) as shown in our consolidated statements of operations. Adjusted Income should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP), or to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), as a measure of our liquidity, nor is Adjusted Income indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs or available for distribution to shareholders. Rather, Adjusted Income is an additional measure we use to analyze our business performance because it excludes the effects of certain non-cash charges that we believe are not necessarily indicative of our operating performance while including the effect of gains or losses on investments when realized. It should be noted that our manner of calculating Adjusted Income may differ from the calculations of similarly-titled measures by other companies.
(1) Depreciation and amortization includes our proportionate share of depreciation and amortization expense relating to equity method investments and excludes the portion on depreciation and amortization expense allocable to non-controlling interests.
(2) Impairment of assets includes impairments on cost and equity method investments recorded in other income and earnings from equity method investments, respectively.
(3) Losses on charge-offs and dispositions represents the impact of charge-offs and dispositions realized during the period. These charge-offs and dispositions were on assets that were previously impaired for GAAP and reflected in net income but not in Adjusted Income.
