New York REIT Announces Results for First Quarter 2017 (5/10/17)

NEW YORK, May 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- New York REIT, Inc. (NYSE: NYRT) (the "Company" or "NYRT"), which is liquidating and winding down pursuant to a plan of liquidation, announced today its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017.

Financial Results

Liquidation Basis of Accounting

As a result of NYRT's shareholder approval of the plan of liquidation on January 3, 2017, effective January 1, 2017, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company began reporting its financial results on the liquidation basis of accounting. The liquidation basis of accounting requires, among other things, that management estimate net sales proceeds on an undiscounted basis as well as include in the Company's assets and liabilities the undiscounted estimate of future revenues and expenses of the Company through the end of the liquidation. The net assets in liquidation at March 31, 2017 would result in liquidating distributions of approximately $9.25 per Common Share. This estimate of liquidating distributions includes projections of costs and expenses to be incurred during the period required to complete the plan of liquidation. There is inherent uncertainty with these projections, and accordingly, these projections could change materially based on a number of factors both within and outside of NYRT's control including the timing of the sales, the performance of the underlying assets and any changes in the underlying assumptions of projected cash flows.

Wendy Silverstein, CEO stated, "We look forward to sharing our thoughts regarding the plan of liquidation in our upcoming conference call and discussion with investors and analysts."
