While i growing cash flow is a critical success measure for us, we also pay particular attention to profit- ability measures including return on equity (“ROE”) and return on investment (“ROI”). ROE speaks to how well and efficiently we are running the company for you, our stockholders. I am pleased to say that ROE is yet another measure where we lead the industry increasing ROE an average of more than 20% per year over the last three years. This increasing profitability provides us with both the flexi- bility and the resources to make investments in both external and redevelopment opportunities to fuel growth and in return, increased dividends to you, our stockholders. These are enviable attributes that few, if any, of our U.S. REIT peers possess. It’s a virtuous cycle that will continue to produce superb shareholder returns. I believe this speaks to our sustained success as well as our optimism and belief that we will continue growing and creating value over the long term.
