We cannot directly influence share price, but surely our share price over time is a report card on our performance. Since I have run Vornado from 1980, total shareholder returns have been 16.5%(3) per annum. Dividends have represented 3.6 percentage points of Vornado’s annual return. Here is a chart that shows Vornado’s total return to shareholders compared to the Office REIT and MSCI indices for various periods ending December 31, 2016 and for 2017 year-to-date: 2017 YTD One-year Three-year Five-year Ten-year Fifteen-year Twenty-year Office REIT Index 2.4 % 13.2 % 42.8 % 72.1 % 31.0 % 233.0 % 434.7 % MSCI Index 1.2 % 8.6 % 45.2 % 75.2 % 62.3 % 361.1 % 520.5 % Vornado (1.9 )% 7.3 % 40.6 % 76.0 % 36.9 % 425.0 % 986.7 % Growth As is our custom, we present the chart below that traces our ten-year record of growth, both in absolute dollars and per share amounts: As Adjusted Excluding Washington, DC and the Real Estate Fund (RemainCo)(4) FFO EBITDA 1,251.8 1,174.3 1,057.5 1,011.5 882.4 868.1 823.8 787.4 852.2 862.4 Amount 690.7 656.1 543.5 503.0 385.4 370.3 352.4 230.5 341.9 378.9 Per Share 3.63 3.46 2.88 2.68 2.07 1.93 1.86 1.33 2.09 2.31 Shares Outstanding 200.5 199.9 198.5 197.8 197.3 196.5 195.7 194.1 168.9 167.7 ($ AND SHARES IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 RemainCo FFO increased this year by 5.3% (4.9% on a per share basis), 13.3% per year over five years (13.5% on a per share basis) and 10.9% per year over ten years (8.7% on a per share basis). 3 More recent shareholder returns have been 12.6% for 5 years and 3.5% for 10 years. 4 EBITDA and FFO including Washington, DC and the Real Estate Fund are as follows: ($ AND SHARES IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 EBITDA 1,521.3 1,498.8 1,418.2 1,357.3 1,211.3 1,215.5 1,161.0 1,095.3 1,139.4 1,130.4 5 FFO Per Share 4.66 4.75 4.33 4.02 3.27 3.20 3.11 2.62 3.31 3.42 Amount 886.8 900.9 816.5 754.8 610.5 613.9 590.7 453.9 541.6 561.6 Shares Outstanding 200.5 199.9 198.5 197.8 197.3 196.5 195.7 194.1 168.9 167.7 Acquisitions/Dispositions Our external growth has never been programmed, formulaic or linear, i.e. we do not budget acquisition activity. Each year, we mine our deal flow for opportunities and, as such, our acquisition volume is lumpy. Our acquisition activity since 2013 has ebbed in response to a rising market. Acquisitions have been limited to strategic New York retail properties and creative class, value-add office projects; if we were an industrial company, you might call them bolt-on acquisitions. We have pushed away from acquisitions that are off-the-fairway, non-strategic or over-priced. Since 2012, our disposition activity has increased four-fold as we have implemented our strategic simplification; we have sold much more than we have acquired. We have executed over $5.7 billion of asset sales in 70 transactions, recognizing $2.4 billion of gains. In addition, we will have distributed $9.7 billion to shareholders by way of a tax- free spin-off of Urban Edge Properties (our strip shopping center business) and the pending spin-off of our Washington, DC business. Importantly, we have also significantly upgraded the mix and quality of our assets. For example, trading: • • • • the Green Acres B+ mall for the retail block at 666 Fifth Avenue (Uniqlo); 866 UN Plaza for 655 Fifth Avenue (Ferragamo); 1740 Broadway, a B office building, for the St. Regis retail on Fifth Avenue (Harry Winston); and 1750 Pennsylvania Avenue for Old Navy on 34th Street. Here is a ten-year schedule of acquisitions and dispositions.

Special thanks to EVP - CIO Michael Franco and EVP Mark Hudspeth and to SVPs Cliff Broser, Mario Ramirez, Adam Green, GauRav Khanna and the rest of the team; and to SVP Ernie Wittich in Washington. Michael in the lead, with Adam, Michael Schnitt and Darren Chan were our JBG deal team. 5 Excludes spin-offs and marketable securities. 6 Includes the disposition of the Skyline properties, Fairfax, Virginia, which were placed in receivership in August 2016. In December of 2016, the final disposition of the Skyline properties was completed by the receiver. In connection therewith, the Skyline properties’ assets (approximately $236 million) and liabilities (approximately $724 million) were removed from our balance sheet which resulted in a net gain of $488 million. One could look at this transaction as a $724 million sale which resulted in a $488 million gain. 6 Capital Markets At year-end we had $4.2 billion of liquidity comprised of $1.8 billion of cash, restricted cash and marketable securities and $2.4 billion available on our $2.5 billion revolving credit facilities. Today, we have the same $4.2 billion of liquidity available. Since January 1, 2016, we have executed the following capital markets transactions: • • • • • • • • • • • In December, the joint venture, in which we have a 45.1% ownership interest, obtained a $90 million construction loan on 61 Ninth Avenue. The loan matures in December 2020 with two six-month extension options. The interest rate is LIBOR plus 3.05%. As of March 31, 2017, there was nothing drawn on the loan. In December, we completed a $400 million refinancing of 350 Park Avenue, a 571,000 square foot Manhattan office building. The ten-year loan is interest only and has a fixed rate of 3.92%. We realized net proceeds of approximately $111 million. The property was previously encumbered by a 3.75%, $284 million mortgage which was scheduled to mature in January 2017. In November, we extended one of our two $1.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facilities from June 2017 to February 2021 with two six-month extension options. The interest rate on the extended facility was lowered from LIBOR plus 115 basis points to LIBOR plus 100 basis points. The facility fee remains unchanged at 20 basis points. In September, we completed a $675 million refinancing of theMART, a 3,652,000 square foot commercial building in Chicago. The five-year loan is interest only and has a fixed rate of 2.70%. We realized net proceeds of approximately $124 million. The property was previously encumbered by a 5.57%, $550 million mortgage which was scheduled to mature in December 2016. In September, we redeemed all of the outstanding 6.875% Series J cumulative redeemable preferred shares at their redemption price of $25.00 per share, or $246 million in the aggregate, plus accrued and unpaid dividends through the date of redemption. In August, the joint venture, in which we have a 49.9% ownership interest, completed an $80 million refinancing of 50-70 West 93rd Street, a 326 unit Manhattan residential complex. The three-year loan with two one-year extensions is interest only at LIBOR plus 1.70% (2.68% at March 31, 2017). The property was previously encumbered by a $45 million first mortgage at LIBOR plus 1.90% and an $18.5 million second mortgage at LIBOR plus 1.65%, which were scheduled to mature in September 2016. In May, we completed a $300 million recourse financing of 7 West 34th Street, a 479,000 square foot Manhattan office building. The ten-year loan is interest only at a fixed rate of 3.65% and matures in June 2026. In June, we sold a 47% interest in the building. We retained all of the net proceeds from the financing, as well as $127 million from the sale. In May, the joint venture, in which we have a 50% ownership interest, completed a $900 million refinancing of 280 Park Avenue, a 1,249,000 square foot Manhattan office building. The three-year loan with four one- year extensions is interest only at LIBOR plus 2.00% (2.80% at March 31, 2017). The property was previously encumbered by a 6.35%, $721 million mortgage which was scheduled to mature in June 2016. In May, the joint venture, in which we have a 55% ownership interest completed a $273 million refinancing of The Warner Building, a 622,000 square foot Washington, DC office building. The loan matures in June 2023, has a fixed rate of 3.65%, is interest only for the first two years and amortizes based on a 30-year schedule beginning in year three. The property was previously encumbered by a 6.26%, $293 million mortgage which matured in May 2016. In March, the joint venture, in which we have a 55% ownership interest, completed a $300 million refinancing of One Park Avenue, a 949,000 square foot Manhattan office building. The loan matures in March 2021 and is interest only at LIBOR plus 1.75% (2.58% at March 31, 2017). The property was previously encumbered by a 4.995%, $250 million mortgage which matured in March 2016. In February, we completed a $700 million refinancing of 770 Broadway, a 1,158,000 square foot Manhattan office building. The five-year loan is interest only at LIBOR plus 1.75% (2.53% at March 31, 2017), which was swapped for four and a half years to a fixed rate of 2.56%. We realized net proceeds of approximately $330 million. The property was previously encumbered by a 5.65%, $353 million mortgage which was scheduled to mature in March 2016. Our Triple A capital markets team was responsible for over $5.0 billion of transactions in this very active year.

We have $11 billion of unencumbered Class A assets in New York. Vornado remains committed to maintaining our investment grade rating. 7 In my 2014 annual letter to shareholders (on page 10), I laid out our debt philosophy. Relevant paragraphs are reprinted below; the numbers have been updated and exclude Washington, DC. One of the hallmarks of a blue chip REIT is access to the four corners of the capital markets. Vornado is an investment- grade blue chip that enjoys such access. But, let’s think about it. For purposes of this discussion, let’s call the four corners of the capital markets common stock, preferred stock, unsecured debt and secured or project-level debt. Unsecured debt is an attractive vehicle and trades in a very efficient marketplace. An investment grade company, using its pre-filed shelf registration, need merely call its friendly investment banker to get $500 million, or even $1 billion, in a matter of days - no fuss, no muss, no roadshow…easy. But, like cigarettes, there should be two warnings on the label of unsecured debt. First, that it bears the full faith and credit of the issuer, in effect a personal guarantee and, second, that markets are volatile and unpredictable and even a market as big, deep and strong as the unsecured debt market shuts down cold in every cycle, at the very worst time. To safely partake in this market, one should have modest maturities and have back-up liquidity. We partake, but we partake in this market in a very measured way. Secured or project-level debt is different. It is a much more cumbersome and time-consuming process to execute…but it has no covenants and is recourse solely to the asset that is pledged. We calculate that Vornado has about $19 billion of assets at fair value pledged to its secured creditors  very low leverage. The remainder of our assets are unencumbered. Interestingly, if, say, 60% is an appropriate loan-to-value ratio for secured debt as opposed to our current 42%, the math says we should then be able to unencumber up to an additional $5 billion of assets, a worthy goal. 8 We exclude 220 Central Park South since it is for sale property and the debt will self liquidate from the proceeds of executed sales contracts. 9 Excluding Washington, DC, the Real Estate Fund and 666 Fifth Avenue office. 8 Focus, Focus, Focus A few years ago, in response to a persistently undervalued stock price and an admittedly too complex and diffused collection of assets and businesses, we began a program to simplify and focus the Company, all with an objective of daylighting our treasure trove of assets and creating shareholder value. As I said at that time, everything was on the table and that we would leave no stone unturned. We have since exited business lines and non-core investments, gotten out of the mall business and sold out of the showroom business, retaining, of course, the giant 3.7 million square foot Chicago MART building. We spun off our shopping center business into Urban Edge Properties. We will shortly spinoff our Washington business to form JBG SMITH Properties. All told, this activity will total $15.4 billion, $5.7 billion in asset sales (recognizing $2.4 billion of gains) and $9.7 billion of distributions to shareholders by way of tax-free spin-offs. Of course, along the way we acquired and developed assets into our core, all the while upgrading the mix and quality of our portfolio. Upon completion of the DC spin-merger, we will have created three best-in-class, highly focused REITs: URBAN EDGE PROPERTIES, a focused, pure play Northeastern shopping center business with a strong growth profile and an irreplaceable portfolio of properties concentrated in dense, high barrier to entry markets with leading demographics. UE has embedded growth opportunities from redevelopment and repositioning projects and a proven management team headed by CEO Jeff Olson, supported by an experienced and engaged Board. JBG SMITH PROPERTIES will be the largest, pure-play, mixed-use operator focused solely on Washington, DC, with a premier portfolio of mixed-use assets in the best Metro-served, urban infill submarkets. JBG SMITH has a best-in-class sharpshooter management team with a proven record of success, significant near-term embedded growth prospects as well as an enormous pipeline of future development opportunities. VORNADO REALTY TRUST (RemainCo) is a peerless NYC focused real estate company with premier office assets and the only publicly investable high street retail portfolio of unique quality and scale. RemainCo has trophy assets in the best submarkets, attractive built-in growth from recently signed leases, a best-in-class management team with a proven record of value creation and a fortress balance sheet. Urban Edge Properties Urban Edge Properties celebrated its second anniversary as a public company in January, and we couldn’t be more delighted with its performance. We gave birth to UE... seeding it with our unique, high-barrier, Northeastern shopping center assets, and with our management and staff. We recruited Jeff Olson, a best-in-class shopping center CEO, and launched it with a strong balance sheet (low leverage and $225 million of cash). UE is producing the exact result we had expected… focus and performance. UE’s total shareholder return for the 26 months since the spin-off is 18% versus negative 9% for the Bloomberg Shopping Center Index, outperformance of 27 percentage points. And think about it, if the UE assets were still bundled inside of Vornado, they probably would be valued at a discount, just like Vornado. Please visit the Urban Edge website, www.uedge.com, for Jeff’s must-read annual shareholder letter, describing UE’s results, strategy and prospects. JBG SMITH Properties In October, we announced that we would spin off our Washington, DC business and simultaneously merge with The JBG Companies in what is known as a tax-free spin-merge transaction, or technically a Reverse Morris Trust. A little history here. We acquired our Washington business, then known as Charles E. Smith Commercial Realty, in 2002 at the right time in the cycle and at a great price.(10) We have since built it through acquisitions and developments to be the largest owner in the region. In 2011, we suffered a double whammy when the Department of Defense and related contractors began vacating what would total 2.5 million square feet under the BRAC statute, just as the Washington office market was softening. At the nadir, we suffered a $70 million hit to annual income. Even though our flagship New York business powered through and its growth well exceeded the hit from Washington, our stock price suffered. What to do? For various reasons selling the Washington business was not an option. But we did believe the best strategy was to separate Washington and New York. A tax-free spin-off was the perfect solution. Spinning our Washington business, as is, would have been an okay execution, but combining it with the market leader, JBG, would be a blockbuster. At that point, we initiated an approach to JBG and began a courtship. 10 In acquiring Smith, we used units valued at the time at $600 million. These units today are worth $1.8 billion, so that $1.2 billion of appreciation went to the sellers rather than our shareholders. 9 Three things happened. One, we got to know each other very well. Two, the JBG gang began to appreciate that the permanent capital and scale of the public company format may be an even better business model than their private fund model. And three, I decided at that time not to proceed. I simply could not get comfortable with serving two masters, their private limited partners and our public shareholders. JBG, having caught the bug, pursued an IPO, pursued a merger with several other already public candidates and finally made a deal with NYRT. Maybe the JBG guys stubbed their toes on the NYRT deal, maybe not. Whatever. There were lessons learned there and these guys are very fast learners. But, I can assure you that the JBG team are great real-estaters and great money-makers and, after all, that’s what I was after. I cannot emphasize enough, the capability of the JBG team; this is the real prize in the deal. This time around, we have it exactly correct. There will be no new funds and the existing funds will be run off. We all, management, the Board and shareholders will worship at the altar of stock price, standing shoulder to shoulder. Vornado shareholders are expected to own approximately 74% of the combined company, JBG limited partners are expected to own approximately 20%, and JBG management is expected to own approximately 6%, all percentages subject to closing adjustments. The combined company will be led by JBG’s management team. Critically, management’s interests will be perfectly aligned with shareholders’ interests; they will be large equity-holders with appropriate vesting and lockup periods. Management will certainly be eating its own cooking. We very carefully selected which JBG assets would be included, always with an eye towards future growth. Valuations were determined fairly and symmetrically. JBG SMITH’s Board of Trustees will consist of 12 members, a majority of whom will be independent. Vornado and JBG will each designate six trustees. I will be Chairman of the Board. Matt Kelly will be Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board. We expect to complete the distribution and combination in the second quarter of 2017. This is a great deal for Vornado and its shareholders. This transformative transaction was very carefully constructed and it accomplishes many of our important goals. It creates two highly focused pure-plays in Washington and in New York, each with its own stock price, which I view as a report card. And, each will be the largest and the leader in its market. Investors will be free to invest in New York or Washington or both as they choose. JBG SMITH will be the market- leading powerhouse with an unrivaled portfolio and substantial growth opportunities. In fact, I believe the new JBG SMITH has the potential to be the fastest growing real estate company in the nation. This deal is the big fix for Washington. And, the math works. At its simplest, pure play New York unburdened by Washington has to trade much better. And Washington with JBG management has to perform and trade much better. Simply stated that’s what this deal is all about. Vornado Realty Trust (RemainCo) The main event for us is, and has always been, our flagship New York business which is more than four times the size of Washington. Separating Washington from New York will daylight New York’s treasure trove of assets and superior performance. 10 Operating Platforms…Lease, Lease, Lease The mission of our business is to create value for shareholders by growing our asset base through the addition of carefully selected properties and by adding value through intensive and efficient management. Our operating platforms are where the rubber meets the road. In our business, leasing is the main event. In New York, theMART and 555 California Street, we leased 2.8 million square feet; and in Washington we leased 1.4 million square feet. As is our practice, we present below leasing and occupancy statistics for our businesses. This year we have beefed up disclosure by adding initial rents, theMART and 555 California Street.

Of all the many numbers on this table, my personal favorite is that theMART achieved $48 initial rent in 2016. This is the result of a major repurposing and releasing program that created what I believe to be the best example of creative office space this side of Silicon Valley. This building, which has its own zip code, is a unique franchise, created by David, Myron and their teams. Year in and year out, our New York Office occupancy rate is in the high 90s. That’s some performance. Thanks to our all-star leasing captains: Glen Weiss and Ed Hogan. Also thanks to the New York leasing machine: Josh Glick, Jared Solomon, Andy Ackerman, Jared Silverman, Edward Riguardi, Ryan Levy, Lucy Phillips and Jason Morrison. Paul Heinen is the all-star who runs leasing at theMART and 555 California Street. Kudos as well to Jim Creedon and the Washington leasing team. 11 Excludes 79 square feet in 2016, 161 square feet in 2015 and 247 square feet in 2014 of retail leases. 12 Excludes Long Island City; including Long Island City would be $72.56. 13 Initial rent in Crystal City is $39.92 in 2016, $37.35 in 2015 and $39.01 in 2014.

Business is good; David and Glen say so, the market says so and most importantly the numbers say so. New York is the capital of the world. It is where talent, business and investors want to be. The resilience of New York surprises even me, with tenants in every major industry coming to New York and expanding in New York (for sure New York is no longer only a finance industry town). David’s team has been putting up record breaking numbers year in and year out. 12 Here are the principles by which we run our office business: We invest in the best buildings in the best locations. We are a fully-integrated real estate operating company. We have the best leasing, operating and development teams in the business. We seek to acquire value-add assets where our unique skills will create shareholder value. We invest in our buildings to maintain, modernize and transform. The front of the house and the back of the house of our assets are as good as new (and are in locations where new could not be created). Our transformations have produced increased rent of over $20 per square foot, yielding attractive double digit returns. By the way, David also measures our success here by the quality of tenants we have been able to attract.(15) We have transformed almost all of our fleet; Penn Plaza is on deck. We are patient and prepared to let flat 4% cap rate deals pass by, while we wait for the fat pitch. We believe vacancy at the right price is an opportunity and that buildings, in whatever condition (that we can reimagine) in great locations are also an opportunity. While we have many million plus square foot buildings, we shy away from 500,000 square foot tenants who seem to always get the better of the deal, in strong markets or in weak. Our sweet spot is the 50,000 to 200,000 square foot tenant. We coined the phrase that “New York is tilting to the West and tilting to the South” and, of late, we have been investing aggressively in Chelsea and the neighborhoods surrounding the Penn Plaza District. We have a hospitality approach, treating our tenants as the valued customers that they are. This attitude begins at the leasing table (although that process can at times be contentious), through tenant fit up, to greeting at the front door. We are gratified how many of our existing tenants refer new tenant prospects to us. We treat the real estate brokerage community as if they are our customers, because they are. Brokers prefer dealing with us, we know what it takes to make a deal, we treat their clients well and we deliver every time. We are in the amenity business. Our amenity poster child is the giant MART in Chicago, where we have large, state of the art, dining, workout, congregating and meeting spaces, etc. Tenant mix is really important; companies and their employees care who they co-tenant with. The design and location of each of our buildings has a target market in mind. For example our new-builds in Chelsea are targeting the creative class and boutique financials (an interesting combination). 15 Such as: Amazon 470,000 square feet; Neuberger Berman 405,000 square feet; Facebook 355,000 square feet; AOL/Verizon 308,000 square feet; Ziff Brothers 295,000 square feet; PricewaterhouseCoopers 240,000 square feet; Guggenheim Partners 230,000 square feet; Cushman & Wakefield 170,000 square feet; PJT Partners 150,000 square feet; FootLocker 135,000 square feet; Alston & Bird 125,000 square feet; TPG 100,000 square feet; JLL 80,000 square feet and Robert A.M. Stern 60,000 square feet. 13 We, and our partners Related and Skanska, are hard at work towards a closing of the Farley Post Office/Moynihan Train Station expected in the next couple of months. This landmark project will be the best creative office space in town. Our Penn Plaza assets continue to be the focus of intense activity in our shop, the office buildings, hotel and retail. We will make announcements at the appropriate time. We all work on Penn Plaza; Barry Langer, Executive Vice President – Development, together with David Bellman, Marc Ricks and Judy Kessler are our team leaders here. Quality really matters. In the office business, the A buildings rent better and sell better, ditto for street retail. We recently published a 342-page coffee table book, Vornado’s Manhattan, highlighting our 105 properties. This book shows clearly the quality of our portfolio. It has been very well received by our shareholders, analysts, lenders, tenants and other stakeholders. The book is on our website at www.vno.com. Please take a look. Thank you Lisa Vogel, SVP – Marketing and her team who created this book. I cannot say often enough that Vornado and its management team are one of only a very small handful of firms that have the capital base, track record, talent, relationships and trust in the marketplace to lease, acquire, develop, finance and manage million square foot towers and Fifth Avenue retail. It’s a complicated business, rookies need not apply. Thank you to our professionals and staff, 586 strong, for a job well done this year and every year.(16) 16 Vornado’s wholly owned subsidiary, BMS, provides cleaning and security services. Thank you as well to the team of 1,942 personnel under the very able leadership of Mike Doherty, President-BMS. BMS provides both great services to our tenants and profit to our shareholders. 14 What’s Going on with Retail (and it’s not the weather) Disruption in retail is the topic du jour, the eye of the storm so to speak (both retail tenants’ and retail landlords’ stocks have been battered), so it is appropriate that we get into a fulsome discussion of retail this year. In the be-careful-what-you-wish-for department, we made the prescient call four years ago that retail was in secular decline and acted on that by selling our malls,(17) spinning our strips into Urban Edge Properties, while retaining and even growing our flagship street retail in Manhattan. So what’s wrong with retail:(18) • The U.S. is grossly over-stored. ICSC publishes 24 square feet of shopping center space per capita.(19) • The struggles and failure (or near failure) of many household names in the anchor and chain store business. • Traffic in shopping centers, while difficult to measure, is clearly declining and has been for years and so that makes a trend. • Shopping preferences and how we shop have changed, especially among millennials. • Most brands have become ubiquitous and, therefore, less differentiated and important. • Price and on sale is the only strategy which seems to work. • And then, of course, there is Amazon and the Internet. I do not believe we can grow our way out of this mess. I believe the only fix for brick and mortar retailing is rightsizing by the closing and evaporation of, you pick the number, 10%, 20%, 30% of the weakest space. This very painful process will surely take more than five years. It will also create enormous opportunity for those with the capital and management platforms to feed on the carnage. So if we were so prescient as to predict the secular decline in retail, and sell our malls, and spin our strips, why did we keep our Manhattan flagship street retail? We believe Upper Fifth Avenue is enduring (read forever). We believe Times Square is enduring and unique. We believe in the handful of world cities. And, we believe the quality and scale of our Manhattan flagship portfolio is unique, irreplaceable and commands a premium. Of course, even we are not immune. It’s only to be expected when a tenant’s basic business model is being threatened that they hunker down rather than step up. For flagship retail (and for A+ malls), this is a pause, a cyclical bump. For everybody else, it is secular disruption. Interestingly, several fast fashion retailers have told me that their 10-year plan is for smaller fleets (fewer stores), but with more and larger flagships. That strategy makes eminent sense to me. ______________ 17 We sold the malls (into a very strong market) and spun off the strips in half measure anticipating secular decline (note the current softness in retail) and recognizing that with only a handful of malls, we were in no man’s land, and in half measure to de-conglomerate i.e., there is no real benefit in having $50 million shopping centers in New Jersey, no matter how great they may be, together with million square foot office towers in Manhattan. I believe the decision to exit the mall business will look better and better as each year goes by. Retailing stinks, right? Well, maybe not… note that the richest people in Europe are all retailers, the founders of: Zara, H&M, Ikea, LVMH and that the richest in the US is a retailer, if you aggregate the wealth of Sam Walton’s heirs. 19 The next highest country is Canada with 17 square feet per capita, Norway is next with 10 square feet, all the mature European countries are in 18 single digits. Further, the 24 per square foot number is not credible. There are 17.7 billion square feet of total retail establishments (both in and out of shopping centers) versus a population of 323 million or a startling 54.9 square feet per capita. Granted this larger number now includes car dealerships and the like, but it also includes all the freestanding Walmarts, Costcos, etc. 15 We own the best-in-class 70-property, 2.7 million square foot flagship street retail business in Manhattan, concentrated on the best high streets – Fifth Avenue, Times Square, Madison Avenue, Penn Plaza, Union Square and Soho. While the street retail portfolio accounts for 9% of our total Manhattan square footage, it generates 30% of RemainCo EBITDA. High street retail is the most unique, scarce, lowest cap rate real estate asset class. It exists only in Manhattan and a handful of other gateway cities.(20) This is a growing business: ($ IN MILLIONS) 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 Here is our 2016 retail math by submarket: ($ IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT %) Fifth Avenue Times Square Madison Avenue Penn Plaza Union Square SoHo Other Total Number of Properties 70 65 57 54 47 EBITDA 381.5 357.1 277.3 244.1 189.0 % 29.3 17.1 12.2 21.9 4.2 4.3 11.0 100.0 2016 Actual Cash NOI 90.4 52.8 37.6 67.7 13.0 13.3 34.0 Signed Leases 43.3 -- -- -- -- -- -- 308.8 43.3 Vacancy 0.5 19.5 3.4 8.6 -- -- 0.8 32.8 2016 Fully Leased Cash NOI 134.2 72.3 41.0 76.3 13.0 13.3 34.8 384.9 Half our flagship retail income comes from Upper Fifth Avenue(21) and Times Square. As David says, both Upper Fifth Avenue and Times Square are pretty much locked up for term with great tenants.(22) Here are the lease expiries: Upper Fifth Avenue Times Square Tenant Harry Winston Swatch MAC Cosmetics Zara Uniqlo Hollister Tissot Ferragamo Dyson Victoria's Secret Tenant MAC Cosmetics Year of Expiration 2031 2031(23) Disney 2024 2019 2026 2024 2026 2028 2027 2032 Forever 21 US Polo Sunglass Hut Planet Hollywood T-Mobile Laline Invicta Swatch Nederlander Theater Year of Expiration 2025 2026 2031 2023 2023 2023 2025 2026 2025 2030 2050 ________________ 20 21 In my 2014 annual letter to shareholders (on pages 14-15), I discussed the extraordinary rent growth and value creation that this asset class has had over the last 10 years. In Upper Fifth Avenue, we completed $80 million of leasing in the last five quarters, including our deals with Victoria’s Secret, Harry Winston, Swatch and Dyson. In the same timeframe, our brethren on Upper Fifth Avenue completed deals with Under Armour, Nike, Coach and Longchamp. All this activity is indicative of a super-strong, must-have submarket. 22 David also says that the Victoria’s Secret and Swatch leases are equivalent in value to a million square foot office tower. 23 Tenant has the right to cancel in 2023. 16 About half the income of Penn Plaza comes from anchors, the balance from 75 different tenants, many of whom we keep on relatively short leases to facilitate development. Anchor Tenant JCPenney Kmart Old Navy H&M Year of Expiration 2029 2021 2019 2018 For the complete lease expiration schedule, please see page 29 of our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which can be viewed at www.vno.com. 2016 cash NOI for our street retail business was $308.8 million. We guesstimate that 2017 same store cash NOI will be about $330 million. Annual rent steps in our retail portfolio are over $8 million per year. If business is as usual, and we were to keep the portfolio at stable occupancy, in the mid-90s%, this same-store portfolio would achieve about $400 million of cash NOI by 2020. On the other hand, if every expiry that we expect to vacate were to vacate and we did not re-let a single square foot (and, of course, we will), we guesstimate the portfolio would produce no less than approximately $325 million each year through 2020. 17 Some Thoughts, 2016 Version Our strategy is simple: • Selling, pruning and cleaning up, sort of a spring cleaning, which is pretty much done. • Determining which businesses we want to be in and can win in and investing with conviction - malls no, flagship retail yes, and great New York office buildings, 555 California and theMART, of course. • Focusing on only a few business units, each with truly outstanding management… and here we have gone so far as to actually create three separate companies. • Relentlessly pursuing quality. • Maintaining a fortress balance sheet with industry leading liquidity. • All in the relentless pursuit of shareholder value. So how have we done? We are an NAV-focused management team. When we began this campaign five years ago our shares were trading at a discount to NAV which we calculated to be about 9%.(24) After all we have done, our discount to NAV is today about 21%.(24) The fact that all but one of our peers and most of the industry blue chips have fared even worse on a relative basis, makes us feel no better at all. So in the end, what is NAV and what does it mean? NAV is basically a calculation of private market value, asset-by- asset. It involves one hard number, NOI, multiplied by a softer number, a guestimated market cap rate. While the number should be reasonably accurate for a single asset, it can only be an approximation of the value of an entire company; it excludes taxes, transaction costs, platform value and strategic value, etc. Here is a graph showing our NAV compared to our trading price over 20 years. Clearly, stock price and NAV move in tandem.(25) But look at the end points…there is a, say, $25 dollar per share gap between NAV and stock price, in our case that’s $5 billion of shareholder value and, as Joe would say, “that’s not nothing.” We included an NAV schedule for the first time in our 2016 year-end Supplemental which can be viewed at www.vno.com; we intend to update this annually. 24 Calculated using Green Street’s NAV. 25 Interestingly, most times stock price leads NAV, both up and down. 18 Some Thoughts, 2016 Version (Continued) I say again that the easy money has been made for this cycle; asset prices are high, well past the 2007 peak; it’s a better time to sell than to invest; and now is the time in the cycle when the smart guys build cash for opportunities that will undoubtedly present themselves in the future. Each year in my annual letter, I try to inform shareholders using as many numbers as words. This year’s report is particularly dense with lots of important and interesting information. I want to single out the last sentence on page 5, which has been italicized for emphasis. RemainCo is the main event. RemainCo unburdened by Washington, DC and other noise has put up truly outstanding numbers - growth in FFO per share: 4.9% in 2016; 13.5% per year for the past five years and 8.7% per year for the past 10 years. Further, since 2005, RemainCo has delivered industry leading same- store NOI growth of 5.2% annually. I urge you to review the comparative financial material on pages 7, 8, 9 and 10 contained in our presentation from the Citi 2017 Global Property CEO Conference which can be viewed at www.vno.com. It is difficult and lonely to be early and contrarian. Examples are our call, four years ago, on the secular decline of retail, our preference for project-level secured debt rather than corporate level unsecured debt and my recent call that this is the time when the smart guys start to build cash. Of course, the best early and contrarian call we made was buying Mendik’s see-through buildings and platform in 1997 for $165 per square foot. It’s debatable whether it’s better to have 30% full recourse financing on all of one’s assets or 60% non-recourse financing on half of one’s assets. Further, while I am currently agnostic as to interest rates, I observe that there is no place to hide from rising rates. Fixed rate financing which always costs more, almost never protects equity value. There has been much press recently about 666 Fifth Avenue. Vornado owns 125 linear feet of the retail block front consisting of the Uniqlo, Tissot and Hollister stores; the remaining 75 feet is owned and operated by Zara. Vornado also owns half of the 1.4 million square foot office building, together with the Kushner family. This is an ongoing, complex, dynamic, and unpredictable situation… and it is the rare case when we may be sellers. Can WeWork be worth $18 billion, or even $16 billion? Maybe it’s that over 20% of America’s work force is temporary. Maybe it’s that we are a startup nation. Maybe it’s their capital-lite business model where they lease at wholesale and then sublease desk-by-desk at retail, and do not incur TI and leasing commissions every time a tenant moves in or out. Maybe it’s their membership/clubby culture. Or, maybe it’s that they have a brand and model which seems to be expandable worldwide. We’ll see. Tax reform is in the air. Tax rates will undoubtedly change and there is much talk out of Washington of simplification and structural change of the tax code. All of this will affect our business in ways that we cannot yet predict. We will keep a keen eye. Are we now an in-the-box, New York only company? What does this mean for concentration risk? That may be a serious issue for me, our management and our families, but no issue at all for our shareholders who can own our stock and diversify by owning any other real estate stock, in whatever asset classes or geographies they choose. 220 Central Park South continues its record setting success. In his annual letter, the greatest investor hawks candy, furniture, jewelry and insurance. So, I guess it is okay for me to remind shareholders here that we are developing 220 Central Park South, the best apartment house in town. Give us a call, we have a few good ones left. Jeff Olson, 49, and Matt Kelly, 44, have taken up 30% of my succession. I expect them to do a better job than I would have. We are convinced that a focused and independent UE and JBG SMITH will be outstanding performers, better than if they were all bundled up in one company. 19 Some Thoughts, 2016 Version (Continued) Vornado owns the only two Kmarts in Manhattan, both at the bottom of our office buildings. Both have term and options for 19 years. The rents are under market, which may or may not create equity in the leaseholds. We have wrangled with Sears over the years, but have not yet been able to make a deal. Sears has a 195,000 square foot store in Rego Park, Queens owned by our affiliate, Alexander’s. The volume here has declined from $86.8 million in 1997 to $28.7 million currently. The operating losses must now exceed the carry empty rent, for Sears has decided to close this unit. This lease is also under market, but since it expires in three years all the equity in the lease clearly belongs to the landlord. We are now hard at work on redevelopment plans. Alexander’s, in which we own a 32.4% interest, has $1 billion of property at this intersection in Queens, NY. To honor America, the crown atop 731 Lexington Avenue, the Bloomberg tower, is now brightly flying the red, white and blue. The colors are prominent in the evening skyline and are best seen from the northwest. Take a look. 20 Some Accounting Updates In various sections throughout this letter we present materials which exclude Washington, DC and the Real Estate Fund so as to better represent RemainCo, our continuing business. The Washington, DC segment will be accounted for as a Discontinued Operation after the date of the spin-off. Beginning in 2017 the Real Estate Fund, which is in wind down, will be treated as noncomparable. We have excluded 666 Fifth Avenue office from our leasing metrics. Beginning in 2017, for office buildings with retail at the base, we will adjust the allocation of real estate taxes as between our retail and office subsegments. This will have no effect on our consolidated financial statements, but will result in a reallocation of slightly more than $16 million of income from retail to office. It will therefore have a minor effect on NAV, resulting from the difference in retail versus office cap rates. Corporate Governance Last year we de-staggered our Board, adopted a trustee resignation policy, elected Candace Beinecke as Lead Trustee and fulfilled our commitment to add a new independent Trustee to the Board. This year, we have adopted proxy access and have provided additional disclosure in our proxy statement on executive compensation and sustainability initiatives. For a complete summary, please refer to our proxy statement which can be viewed at www.vno.com-proxy and governance section on our website at www.vno.com-governance. 21 Sustainability Vornado continues to lead the industry in sustainability – it’s important to our tenants and to our investors, and it is important to us. From energy conservation, to healthy indoor environments, to sustainable new construction, we continuously improve our programs each year. We recognize that a portfolio of our size carries a big responsibility to manage energy, and we work hard to monitor, control, and reduce our consumption. Our energy efficiency capital projects continue to save energy and modernize our existing buildings. We are an active participant in demand response and contribute significantly to reducing electricity grid constraints in each of our markets. We also recognize the need to not only report on our past accomplishments, but also to put forth our future commitments. In 2016, we set goals to reduce landlord-controlled carbon emissions 40% by 2026, below a 2009 base year. To stand by this commitment, we have enrolled our New York portfolio in the NYC Carbon Challenge for Commercial Landlords and Tenants. Our tenants spend the majority of their week working in our buildings, and we recognize our responsibility to provide a healthy indoor environment for them. We are focused on delivering healthy air and healthy water, and our cleaning company leads the industry in least-toxic cleaning policies. We lead a robust tenant engagement program that in 2016 included our first roundtable seminar, attended by participants from over 4 million square feet of our tenant base. We have also incorporated sustainable design into our new buildings. Our pipeline of new office buildings will be among the greenest in the industry. Our programs deliver results: in 2016, we reduced our energy consumption by 73,734 megawatt hours and recycled and composted over 17,000 tons of waste. We won NAREIT’s Leader in the Light Award (7th year in a row), we achieved Energy Star Partner of the Year with Sustained Excellence (2nd time with this distinction), and we again earned the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) Green Star ranking (4th year in a row). Finally, we extend our commitment to making our buildings more sustainable to benefit the communities that surround us. As a corporate citizen, Vornado upholds its commitment to give back by encouraging all of our employees to volunteer. As a landlord, Vornado recognizes its role as a community steward. Through Vornado Volunteers, our employees give back to communities through participation in causes that support vulnerable populations, protect and improve the environment, and promote a healthy lifestyle. For more detail on our 2016 sustainability efforts, including our Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Index, please see our sustainability report at www.vno.com. 22 On February 15, 2017, we permanently transferred Steve Theriot to be CFO of JBG SMITH. Steve is the perfect candidate for this important job. He knows our assets, systems and people (which will make up 74% of JBG SMITH), he is an expert at SEC reporting and he is the right executive to combine the accounting and control function of these two companies. We thank Steve for his very productive four years as Vornado’s CFO. Joe Macnow, who has been Vornado’s CFO for over 30 years, has been appointed Vornado’s interim CFO while we conduct a search. Even when Steve was here, Joe was always here too. Joe is well known to all of our constituents and is recognized by all as being one of the best in the business. Our finance department is deep and we used this occasion to promote Matthew Iocco, Executive Vice President – Chief Accounting Officer and Tom Sanelli, Executive Vice President – Chief Financial Officer, New York Division. Congratulations to Matt and Tom. We continually broaden our leadership team through promotions from within our Company. Please join me in congratulating this year’s class; they deserve it. * * * Thomas Sanelli was promoted to Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, New York Division; Gaurav Khanna was promoted to Senior Vice President, Acquisitions & Capital Markets; Laura Sperber was promoted to Senior Vice President, Financial Systems; Michael Schnitt was promoted to Vice President, Acquisitions and Capital Markets; Jason Morrison was promoted to Vice President, New York Retail; Christina Herrick was promoted to Vice President, Human Resources DC of BMS; Nikola Sopov was promoted to Vice President, Information Security; Ana May Alagao was promoted to Vice President, SEC Reporting; Jay Beckoff was promoted to Vice President, Tax Counsel; and Mark Roszkowski was promoted to Vice President, Finance/Financial Reporting.

Many thanks to Joe Macnow and LouAnn Bell who have been helping me with my letter forever. And, to Rich Famularo, Carolyn Williams and Diane Sudzinski for their special help this year.

Steven Roth Chairman and CEO April 4, 2017 Again this year, I offer to assist shareholders with tickets to my wife’s productions on Broadway – the still-going-strong, Tony award-winning Best Musical Kinky Boots, as well as Indecent, an important new play. Please call if I can be of help. Welcome Levi Emanuel Roth, the son of my son; congratulations to the big–hearted, new–hearted super–girl Emi, a daughter of my daughter. 24 25 Below is a reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA: ($ IN MILLIONS) Net Income attributable to the Operating Partnership Interest and debt expense Depreciation, amortization, and income taxes 2016 960.6 507.3 706.1 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 803.7 469.8 579.3 912.5 654.4 710.2 500.8 758.8 759.1 662.5 760.5 742.3 718.2 797.9 782.2 703.1 131.3 828.1 826.8 706.4 739.0 414.7 822.0 568.1 611.3 853.5 680.9 EBITDA Gains on sale of real estate Real estate impairment loss 2,174.0 1,852.8 2,277.1 2018.7 2,165.3 2,298.3 2,237.6 1,697.1 1,804.8 2,145.7 (179.9) (293.6) (518.8) (412.1) (471.4) (61.4) (63.0) (46.6) (67.0) (80.5) 167.0 17.0 26.5 43.7 131.8 28.8 109.0 23.2 -- -- EBITDA before gains on sale of real estate 2,161.1 1,576.2 1,784.8 1,650.3 1,825.7 2,265.7 2,283.6 1,673.7 1,737.8 2,065.2 Adjustments for items that impact EBITDA (639.8) (77.5) (366.6) (293.0) (614.4) (1,050.2) (1,122.6) (578.4) (598.4) (934.8) EBITDA As Adjusted Less: Washington, DC Real Estate Fund 1,521.3 1,498.7 1,418.2 1,357.3 1,211.3 1,215.5 1,161.0 1,095.3 1,139.4 1,130.4 290.5 290.5 290.4 296.3 304.3 338.1 336.7 307.9 287.2 268.0 (21.0) 33.9 70.3 49.5 24.6 9.3 0.5 -- -- -- EBITDA as Adjusted Excluding Washington, DC and the Real Estate Fund 1,251.8 1,174.3 1,057.5 1,011.5 882.4 868.1 823.8 787.4 852.2 862.4 Below is a reconciliation of Net Income to FFO: ($ IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT SHARE AMOUNTS) Net Income Preferred share dividends Net Income applicable to common shares Depreciation and amortization of real property Net gains on sale of real estate Real estate impairment losses Partially-owned entities adjustments: Depreciation of real property Net gains on sale of real estate Income tax effect of adjustments Real estate impairment losses Noncontrolling interests’ share adustments Interest on exchangeable senior debentures Preferred share dividends 2016 906.9 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 760.4 864.9 476.0 617.3 662.3 647.9 106.2 359.3 541.5 (83.3) (80.6) (81.5) (84.0) (67.9) (60.5) (51.2) (57.1) (57.1) (57.1) 823.6 531.6 679.8 514.1 783.4 517.5 392.0 501.8 549.4 504.4 601.8 530.1 596.7 505.8 49.1 508.6 302.2 509.4 484.4 451.3 (177.0) (289.1) (507.2) (411.6) (245.8) (51.6) (57.2) (45.3) (57.5) (60.8) 160.7 0.3 26.5 37.1 130.0 28.8 97.5 23.2 -- -- 154.8 144.0 117.8 157.3 154.7 170.9 148.3 140.6 115.9 134.0 (2.9) (4.5) (11.6) (0.5) (241.6) (9.8) (5.8) (1.4) (9.5) 6.3 -- 16.8 -- (41.1) (22.4) -- 1.6 -- -- (7.3) (8.0) -- -- -- (26.7) (27.5) (24.6) (24.6) (22.9) (23.2) 6.6 11.6 -- 11.5 -- -- (15.1) (16.6) (41.0) (46.8) (47.0) (49.7) (46.7) -- 0.1 -- -- 26.1 0.3 25.9 0.2 -- 0.2 (15.5) (28.8) -- 25.3 0.2 813.1 $4.97 25.0 0.3 943.2 $5.75 Funds From Operations Funds From Operations per share 1,457.6 1,039.0 911.1 641.0 818.6 1,231.0 1,251.5 605.1 7.66 5.48 4.83 $3.41 $4.39 $ 6.42 $6.59 $ 3.49 Below is a reconciliation of Net Income to Net Income as Adjusted: Below is a reconciliation of Total Assets to Total Assets as Adjusted: ($ IN MILLIONS) Net Income applicable to common shares Certain items that impact net income Washington, DC Real Estate Fund Net income, as Adjusted 2016 823.6 (569.7) (80.7) 19.8 193.0 2015 679.8 (369.5) (64.7) (32.0) 213.6 ($ IN MILLIONS) Total Assets Adjustments: Assets related to sold properties Washington, DC Real Estate Fund 2016 20,814.8 2015 21,143.3 (5.6) (4,572.4) (462.1) (115.6) 3,513.6 19,172.7 (580.2) (4,472.2) (574.8) (550.0) 3,418.3 18,384.4 Cash available to repay revolving credit facilities Accumulated depreciation Total Assets, as Adjusted Below is a reconciliation of Revenues to Revenues as Adjusted: ($ IN MILLIONS) Revenues Adjustments: Assets related to sold properties Washington, DC Other Revenues, as Adjusted 2016 2,506.2 2015 2,502.3 (48.9) (479.2) -- 1,978.1 (117.6) (477.2) (2.4) 1,905.1 Below is a reconciliation of EBITDA to EBITDA as Adjusted ( as shown on page 8): ($ IN MILLIONS) EBITDA as Adjusted Excluding Washington, DC 2016 and the Real Estate Fund Real Estate Fund 666 Fifth Avenue EBITDA as Adjusted (as shown on page 8) 1,251.8 (21.0) (28.0) 1,202.8 Below is a reconciliation of EBITDA to Cash NOI – New York Street Retail: ($ IN MILLIONS) EBITDA as Adjusted Excluding Washington, DC 2016 and the Real Estate Fund Operations other than New York Street Retail Non cash adjustments Cash NOI – New York Street Retail 1,251.8 (870.3) (72.7) 308.8 26 UNITED STATES UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.

Documents Incorporated by Reference Part III: Portions of Proxy Statement for Annual Meeting of Vornado Realty Trust’s Shareholders to be held on May 18, 2017. This Annual Report on Form 10-K omits financial statements required under Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X, for Toys “R” Us, Inc. An amendment to this Annual Report on Form 10-K will be filed as soon as practicable following the availability of such financial statements. EXPLANATORY NOTE This report combines the Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 of Vornado Realty Trust and Vornado Realty L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “Vornado” refer to Vornado Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”), and references to the “Operating Partnership” refer to Vornado Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. References to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean collectively Vornado, the Operating Partnership and those entities/subsidiaries consolidated by Vornado. The Operating Partnership is the entity through which we conduct substantially all of our business and own, either directly or through subsidiaries, substantially all of our assets. Vornado is the sole general partner and also a 93.7% limited partner of the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, Vornado has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management. Under the limited partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, unitholders may present their Class A units for redemption at any time (subject to restrictions agreed upon at the time of issuance of the units that may restrict such right for a period of time). Class A units may be tendered for redemption to the Operating Partnership for cash; Vornado, at its option, may assume that obligation and pay the holder either cash or Vornado common shares on a one-for-one basis. Because the number of Vornado common shares outstanding at all times equals the number of Class A units owned by Vornado, the redemption value of each Class A unit is equivalent to the market value of one Vornado common share, and the quarterly distribution to a Class A unitholder is equal to the quarterly dividend paid to a Vornado common shareholder. This one-for-one exchange ratio is subject to specified adjustments to prevent dilution. Vornado generally expects that it will elect to issue its common shares in connection with each such presentation for redemption rather than having the Operating Partnership pay cash. With each such exchange or redemption, Vornado’s percentage ownership in the Operating Partnership will increase. In addition, whenever Vornado issues common shares other than to acquire Class A units of the Operating Partnership, Vornado must contribute any net proceeds it receives to the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership must issue to Vornado an equivalent number of Class A units of the Operating Partnership. This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT. The Company believes that combining the Annual Reports on Form 10-K of Vornado and the Operating Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits: • enhances investors’ understanding of Vornado and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business; • eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation because a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both Vornado and the Operating Partnership; and • creates time and cost efficiencies in the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports. The Company believes it is important to understand the few differences between Vornado and the Operating Partnership in the context of how Vornado and the Operating Partnership operate as a consolidated company. The financial results of the Operating Partnership are consolidated into the financial statements of Vornado. Vornado does not have any other significant assets, liabilities or operations, other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership, not Vornado, generally executes all significant business relationships other than transactions involving the securities of Vornado. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all of the assets of Vornado. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for the net proceeds from equity offerings by Vornado, which are contributed to the capital of the Operating Partnership in exchange for Class A units of partnership in the Operating Partnership, as applicable, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company’s business. These capital sources may include working capital, net cash provided by operating activities, borrowings under the revolving credit facility, the issuance of secured and unsecured debt and equity securities and proceeds received from the disposition of certain properties. To help investors better understand the key differences between Vornado and the Operating Partnership, certain information for Vornado and the Operating Partnership in this report has been separated, as set forth below: • Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities; • Item 6. Selected Financial Data; • • Item 7.

BUSINESS PART I Vornado is a fully-integrated REIT and conducts its business through, and substantially all of its interests in properties are held by, the Operating Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership. Accordingly, Vornado’s cash flow and ability to pay dividends to its shareholders is dependent upon the cash flow of the Operating Partnership and the ability of its direct and indirect subsidiaries to first satisfy their obligations to creditors. Vornado is the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 93.7% of the common limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership at December 31, 2016. On October 31, 2016, Vornado’s Board of Trustees approved the tax-free spin-off of our Washington, DC segment and we entered into a definitive agreement to merge it with the business and certain select assets of The JBG Companies (“JBG”), a Washington, DC real estate company. Steven Roth, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Chief Executive Officer of Vornado, will be Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the new company, which will be named JBG SMITH Properties. Mitchell Schear, President of our Washington, DC business, will be a member of the Board of Trustees of the new company. The pro rata distribution to Vornado common shareholders and Class A Operating Partnership unitholders is intended to be treated as a tax-free spin-off for U.S. federal income tax purposes. It is expected to be made on a pro rata 1:2 basis. The initial Form 10 registration statement relating to the spin-off and merger was filed with the SEC on January 23, 2017 and the distribution and combination are expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2017. The distribution and combination are subject to certain conditions, including the SEC declaring the Form 10 registration statement effective, filing and approval of the new company’s listing application, receipt of regulatory approvals and third party consents by each of the Company and JBG, and formal declaration of the distribution by Vornado’s Board of Trustees. The distribution and combination are not subject to a vote by Vornado’s shareholders or Operating Partnership unitholders. Vornado’s Board of Trustees has approved the transaction. JBG has obtained all requisite approvals from its investment funds for this transaction. There can be no assurance that this transaction will be completed. We currently own all or portions of: New York: • • • 20.2 million square feet of Manhattan office space in 36 properties; 2.7 million square feet of Manhattan street retail space in 70 properties; 2,004 units in twelve residential properties; • The 1,700 room Hotel Pennsylvania located on Seventh Avenue at 33rd Street in the heart of the Penn Plaza district; • A 32.4% interest in Alexander’s, Inc. (“Alexander’s”) (NYSE: ALX), which owns seven properties in the greater New York metropolitan area, including 731 Lexington Avenue, the 1.3 million square foot Bloomberg, L.P. headquarters building; Washington, DC: • • 11.1 million square feet of office space in 44 properties; 3,156 units in nine residential properties; Other Real Estate and Related Investments: • The 3.7 million square foot Mart (“theMART”) in Chicago; • A 70% controlling interest in 555 California Street, a three-building office complex in San Francisco’s financial district aggregating 1.8 million square feet, known as the Bank of America Center; • A 25.0% interest in Vornado Capital Partners, our real estate fund. We are the general partner and investment manager of the fund; • A 32.5% interest in Toys “R” Us, Inc. (“Toys”); and • Other real estate and other investments. 7 OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGY Our business objective is to maximize Vornado shareholder value. We intend to achieve this objective by continuing to pursue our investment philosophy and execute our operating strategies through: • maintaining a superior team of operating and investment professionals and an entrepreneurial spirit; • investing in properties in select markets, such as New York City, where we believe there is a high likelihood of capital appreciation; acquiring quality properties at a discount to replacement cost and where there is a significant potential for higher rents; investing in retail properties in select under-stored locations such as the New York City metropolitan area; developing and redeveloping our existing properties to increase returns and maximize value; and investing in operating companies that have a significant real estate component. • • • • We expect to finance our growth, acquisitions and investments using internally generated funds, proceeds from asset sales and by accessing the public and private capital markets. We may also offer Vornado common or preferred shares or Operating Partnership units in exchange for property and may repurchase or otherwise reacquire these securities in the future. ACQUISITIONS There were no significant acquisitions during 2016. DISPOSITIONS On May 27, 2016, we sold a 47% ownership interest in 7 West 34th Street for net proceeds of $127.4 million. On August 24, 2016, the Skyline properties, located in Fairfax, Virginia, were placed in receivership. On December 21, 2016, the final disposition of the Skyline properties was completed by the receiver. In connection therewith, the Skyline properties’ assets (approximately $236.5 million) and liabilities (approximately $724.4 million), were removed from our consolidated balance sheet which resulted in a net gain of $487.9 million. There was no taxable income related to this transaction. On December 19, 2016, we sold a 20% ownership interest in Fairfax Square for $15.5 million. FINANCINGS We completed the following financing transactions during 2016: • • • • • • • • • $900 million refinancing of 280 Park Avenue (50% owned); $700 million refinancing of 770 Broadway for net proceeds of approximately $330 million; $675 million refinancing of theMART for net proceeds of approximately $124 million; $400 million refinancing of 350 Park Avenue for net proceeds of approximately $111 million; $300 million refinancing of One Park Avenue (55% owned); $300 million financing of 7 West 34th Street (53% owned as of May 27, 2016); $273 million refinancing of The Warner Building (55% owned); $ 80 million refinancing of 50-70 West 93rd Street (49.9% owned); and $247 million redemption of all of the outstanding 6.875% Series J cumulative redeemable preferred shares We also extended one of our two $1.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facilities to February 2021 with two six-month extension options, lowering the interest rate from LIBOR plus 115 basis points to LIBOR plus 100 basis points. The facility fee remains unchanged at 20 basis points. 8 DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURES We are constructing a residential condominium tower containing 397,000 salable square feet on our 220 Central Park South development site. The incremental development cost of this project is estimated to be approximately $1.3 billion, of which $609,420,000 has been expended as of December 31, 2016. We are developing a 173,000 square foot Class-A office building at 512 West 22nd Street, along the western edge of the High Line in the West Chelsea submarket of Manhattan (55.0% owned). The incremental development cost of this project is estimated to be approximately $130,000,000, of which our share is $72,000,000. As of December 31, 2016, $30,143,000 has been expended, of which our share is $16,579,000. We are developing a 170,000 square foot office and retail building at 61 Ninth Avenue, located on the southwest corner of Ninth Avenue and 15th Street in the West Chelsea submarket of Manhattan. In February 2016, the venture purchased an adjacent five story loft building and air rights in exchange for a 10% common and preferred equity interest in the venture valued at $19,400,000, which reduced our ownership interest to 45.1% from 50.1%. On December 21, 2016, the venture obtained a $90,000,000 construction loan. The loan matures in December 2020 with two six-month extension options. The interest rate is LIBOR plus 3.05%. As of December 31, 2016, there was nothing drawn on this loan. The incremental development cost of this project is estimated to be approximately $150,000,000, of which our share is $68,000,000. As of December 31, 2016, $38,499,000 has been expended, of which our share is $17,363,000. We are developing a 34,000 square foot office and retail building at 606 Broadway, located on the northeast corner of Broadway and Houston Street in Manhattan (50.0% owned). At closing, the joint venture obtained a $65,000,000 construction loan, of which approximately $25,800,000 was outstanding as of December 31, 2016. The loan, which bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.00% (3.66% at December 31, 2016), matures in May 2019 with two one-year extension options. The venture’s incremental development cost of this project is estimated to be approximately $60,000,000, of which our share is $30,000,000. As of December 31, 2016, $20,833,000 has been expended, of which our share is $10,417,000. We are in the process of demolishing two adjacent Washington, DC office properties, 1726 M Street and 1150 17th Street, and will replace them in the future with a new 335,000 square foot Class A office building, to be addressed 1700 M Street. The incremental development cost of the project is estimated to be approximately $170,000,000, of which $10,500,000 has been expended as of December 31, 2016. In September 2016, a joint venture between the Related Companies and Vornado was designated by New York State to redevelop the historic Farley Post Office building. The building will include a new Moynihan Train Hall and approximately 850,000 rentable square feet of office space and ancillary train hall retail. The joint venture will enter into a 99-year, triple-net lease and make a $230,000,000 contribution towards the construction of the train hall. Total costs for the redevelopment of the office and retail space are yet to be determined. We are also evaluating other development and redevelopment opportunities at certain of our properties in Manhattan, including, in particular, the Penn Plaza District. There can be no assurance that any of our development or redevelopment projects will commence, or if commenced, be completed, or completed on schedule or within budget. 9 SEGMENT DATA We operate in the following business segments: New York and Washington, DC. Financial information related to these business segments for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 is set forth in Note 23 – Segment Information to our consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. SEASONALITY Our revenues and expenses are subject to seasonality during the year which impacts quarterly net earnings, cash flows and funds from operations, and therefore impacts comparisons of the current quarter to the previous quarter. The New York and Washington, DC segments have historically experienced higher utility costs in the first and third quarters of the year. TENANTS ACCOUNTING FOR OVER 10% OF REVENUES None of our tenants accounted for more than 10% of total revenues in any of the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. CERTAIN ACTIVITIES We do not base our acquisitions and investments on specific allocations by type of property. We have historically held our properties for long-term investment; however, it is possible that properties in our portfolio may be sold when circumstances warrant. Further, we have not adopted a policy that limits the amount or percentage of assets which could be invested in a specific property or property type. While we may seek the vote of our shareholders in connection with any particular material transaction, generally our activities are reviewed and may be modified from time to time by Vornado’s Board of Trustees without the vote of our shareholders or Operating Partnership unitholders. EMPLOYEES As of December 31, 2016, we have approximately 4,225 employees, of which 284 are corporate staff. The New York segment has 3,265 employees, including 2,634 employees of Building Maintenance Services LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary, which provides cleaning, security and engineering services primarily to our New York and Washington, DC properties and 459 employees at the Hotel Pennsylvania. The Washington, DC segment and theMART properties have 456 and 220 employees, respectively. The foregoing does not include employees of partially owned entities.

RISK FACTORS Material factors that may adversely affect our business, operations and financial condition are summarized below. We refer to the equity and debt securities of both Vornado and the Operating Partnership as our “securities” and the investors who own shares or units, or both, as our “equity holders.” The risks and uncertainties described herein may not be the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also adversely affect our business. See “Forward-Looking Statements” contained herein on page 6. REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS’ VALUE AND INCOME FLUCTUATE DUE TO VARIOUS FACTORS. The value of real estate fluctuates depending on conditions in the general economy and the real estate business. These conditions may also adversely impact our revenues and cash flows. The factors that affect the value of our real estate investments include, among other things: changes in real estate taxes and other expenses; global, national, regional and local economic conditions; competition from other available space; local conditions such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate in the area; how well we manage our properties; the development and/or redevelopment of our properties; changes in market rental rates; the timing and costs associated with property improvements and rentals; • • • • • • • • whether we are able to pass all or portions of any increases in operating costs through to tenants; • • whether tenants and users such as customers and shoppers consider a property attractive; • • • • • • • • • changes in space utilization by our tenants due to technology, economic conditions and business environment; the financial condition of our tenants, including the extent of tenant bankruptcies or defaults; availability of financing on acceptable terms or at all; inflation or deflation; fluctuations in interest rates; our ability to obtain adequate insurance; changes in zoning laws and taxation; government regulation; consequences of any armed conflict involving, or terrorist attacks against, the United States or individual acts of violence in public spaces including retail centers; potential liability under environmental or other laws or regulations; natural disasters; general competitive factors; and climate changes. • • • • The rents or sales proceeds we receive and the occupancy levels at our properties may decline as a result of adverse changes in any of these factors. If rental revenues, sales proceeds and/or occupancy levels decline, we generally would expect to have less cash available to pay indebtedness and for distribution to equity holders. In addition, some of our major expenses, including mortgage payments, real estate taxes and maintenance costs generally do not decline when the related rents decline. Capital markets and economic conditions can materially affect our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations as well as the value of our debt and equity securities. There are many factors that can affect the value of our debt and equity securities, including the state of the capital markets and the economy. Demand for office and retail space may decline nationwide, as it did in 2008 and 2009 due to the economic downturn, bankruptcies, downsizing, layoffs and cost cutting. Government action or inaction may adversely affect the state of the capital markets. The cost and availability of credit may be adversely affected by illiquid credit markets and wider credit spreads, which may adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition, including our results of operations, and the liquidity and financial condition of our tenants. Our inability or the inability of our tenants to timely refinance maturing liabilities and access the capital markets to meet liquidity needs may materially affect our financial condition and results of operations and the value of our securities. 11 Real estate is a competitive business. We compete with a large number of real estate property owners and developers, some of which may be willing to accept lower returns on their investments. Principal factors of competition are rents charged, sales prices, attractiveness of location, the quality of the property and the breadth and the quality of services provided. Our success depends upon, among other factors, trends of the global, national, regional and local economies, the financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants and customers, availability and cost of capital, construction and renovation costs, taxes, governmental regulations, legislation, population and employment trends. We depend on leasing space to tenants on economically favorable terms and collecting rent from tenants who may not be able to pay. Our financial results depend significantly on leasing space in our properties to tenants on economically favorable terms. In addition, because a majority of our income comes from renting of real property, our income, funds available to pay indebtedness and funds available for distribution to equity holders will decrease if a significant number of our tenants cannot pay their rent or if we are not able to maintain occupancy levels on favorable terms. If a tenant does not pay its rent, we may not be able to enforce our rights as landlord without delays and may incur substantial legal costs. During periods of economic adversity, there may be an increase in the number of tenants that cannot pay their rent and an increase in vacancy rates. We may be unable to renew leases or relet space as leases expire. When our tenants decide not to renew their leases upon their expiration, we may not be able to relet the space. Even if tenants do renew or we can relet the space, the terms of renewal or reletting, taking into account among other things, the cost of improvements to the property and leasing commissions, may be less favorable than the terms in the expired leases. In addition, changes in space utilization by our tenants may impact our ability to renew or relet space without the need to incur substantial costs in renovating or redesigning the internal configuration of the relevant property. If we are unable to promptly renew the leases or relet the space at similar rates or if we incur substantial costs in renewing or reletting the space, our cash flow and ability to service debt obligations and pay dividends and distributions to equity holders could be adversely affected. Bankruptcy or insolvency of tenants may decrease our revenue, net income and available cash. From time to time, some of our tenants have declared bankruptcy, and other tenants may declare bankruptcy or become insolvent in the future. The bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant could cause us to suffer lower revenues and operational difficulties, including leasing the remainder of the property. As a result, the bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant could result in decreased revenue, net income and funds available to pay our indebtedness or make distributions to equity holders. We may incur significant costs to comply with environmental laws and environmental contamination may impair our ability to lease and/or sell real estate. Our operations and properties are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations concerning the protection of the environment, including air and water quality, hazardous or toxic substances and health and safety. Under some environmental laws, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances released at a property. The owner or operator may also be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage or personal injuries and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred by those parties because of the contamination. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of the release of the substances or caused the release. The presence of contamination or the failure to remediate contamination may impair our ability to sell or lease real estate or to borrow using the real estate as collateral. Other laws and regulations govern indoor and outdoor air quality including those that can require the abatement or removal of asbestos-containing materials in the event of damage, demolition, renovation or remodeling and also govern emissions of and exposure to asbestos fibers in the air. The maintenance and removal of lead paint and certain electrical equipment containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are also regulated by federal and state laws. We are also subject to risks associated with human exposure to chemical or biological contaminants such as molds, pollens, viruses and bacteria which, above certain levels, can be alleged to be connected to allergic or other health effects and symptoms in susceptible individuals. Our predecessor companies may be subject to similar liabilities for activities of those companies in the past. We could incur fines for environmental compliance and be held liable for the costs of remedial action with respect to the foregoing regulated substances or related claims arising out of environmental contamination or human exposure to contamination at or from our properties. Each of our properties has been subject to varying degrees of environmental assessment. To date, these environmental assessments have not revealed any environmental condition material to our business. However, identification of new compliance concerns or undiscovered areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, human exposure to contamination or changes in clean-up or compliance requirements could result in significant costs to us. 12 In addition, we may become subject to costs or taxes, or increases therein, associated with natural resource or energy usage (such as a “carbon tax”). These costs or taxes could increase our operating costs and decrease the cash available to pay our obligations or distribute to equity holders. We face risks associated with our tenants being designated “Prohibited Persons” by the Office of Foreign Assets Control and similar requirements. Pursuant to Executive Order 13224 and other laws, the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”) maintains a list of persons designated as terrorists or who are otherwise blocked or banned (“Prohibited Persons”) from conducting business or engaging in transactions in the United States and thereby restricts our doing business with such persons. In addition, our leases, loans and other agreements may require us to comply with OFAC and related requirements, and any failure to do so may result in a breach of such agreements. If a tenant or other party with whom we conduct business is placed on the OFAC list or is otherwise a party with whom we are prohibited from doing business, we may be required to terminate the lease or other agreement. Any such termination could result in a loss of revenue or otherwise negatively affect our financial results and cash flows. Our business and operations would suffer in the event of system failures. Despite system redundancy, the implementation of security measures and the existence of a disaster recovery plan for our internal information technology systems, our systems are vulnerable to damages from any number of sources, including computer viruses, unauthorized access, energy blackouts, natural disasters, terrorism, war and telecommunication failures. Any system failure or accident that causes interruptions in our operations could result in a material disruption to our business. We may also incur additional costs to remedy damages caused by such disruptions. The occurrence of cyber incidents, or a deficiency in our cyber security, could negatively impact our business by causing a disruption to our operations, a compromise or corruption of our confidential information, and/or damage to our business relationships or reputation, all of which could negatively impact our financial results. We face risks associated with security breaches, whether through cyber attacks or cyber intrusions over the Internet, malware, computer viruses, attachments to e-mails, persons who access our systems from inside or outside our organization, and other significant disruptions of our IT networks and related systems. The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through cyber attack or cyber intrusion, including by computer hackers, foreign governments and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. Our IT networks and related systems are essential to the operation of our business and our ability to perform day-to-day operations (including managing our building systems) and, in some cases, may be critical to the operations of certain of our tenants. Although we make efforts to maintain the security and integrity of these types of IT networks and related systems, and we have implemented various measures to manage the risk of a security breach or disruption, there can be no assurance that our security efforts and measures will be effective or that attempted security breaches or disruptions would not be successful or damaging. Even the most well protected information, networks, systems and facilities remain potentially vulnerable because the techniques used in such attempted security breaches evolve and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, and in some cases are designed to not be detected and, in fact, may not be detected. Accordingly, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate security barriers or other preventative measures, and thus it is impossible for us to entirely mitigate this risk. A security breach or other significant disruption involving our IT networks and related systems could disrupt the proper functioning of our networks and systems and therefore our operations and/or those of certain of our tenants; result in the unauthorized access to, and destruction, loss, theft, misappropriation or release of, proprietary, confidential, sensitive or otherwise valuable information of ours or others, which others could use to compete against us or which could expose us to damage claims by third- parties for disruptive, destructive or otherwise harmful purposes and outcomes; result in our inability to maintain the building systems relied upon by our tenants for the efficient use of their leased space; require significant management attention and resources to remedy any damages that result; subject us to claims for breach of contract, damages, credits, penalties or termination of leases or other agreements; or damage our reputation among our tenants and investors generally. Any or all of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. 13 Some of our potential losses may not be covered by insurance. We maintain general liability insurance with limits of $300,000,000 per occurrence and per property, and all risk property and rental value insurance with limits of $2.0 billion per occurrence, with sub-limits for certain perils such as flood and earthquake. Our California properties have earthquake insurance with coverage of $180,000,000 per occurrence and in the annual aggregate, subject to a deductible in the amount of 5% of the value of the affected property. We maintain coverage for terrorism acts with limits of $4.0 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate, and $2.0 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate for terrorism involving nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological (“NBCR”) terrorism events, as defined by Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015, which expires in December 2020. Penn Plaza Insurance Company, LLC (“PPIC”), our wholly owned consolidated subsidiary, acts as a re-insurer with respect to a portion of all risk property and rental value insurance and a portion of our earthquake insurance coverage, and as a direct insurer for coverage for acts of terrorism including NBCR acts. Coverage for acts of terrorism (excluding NBCR acts) is fully reinsured by third party insurance companies and the Federal government with no exposure to PPIC. For NBCR acts, PPIC is responsible for a deductible of $1,622,000 ($1,976,000 for 2017) and 16% (17% for 2017) of the balance of a covered loss and the Federal government is responsible for the remaining portion of a covered loss. We are ultimately responsible for any loss incurred by PPIC. We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism. However, we cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in the future. Our debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by our properties which are non-recourse to us, senior unsecured notes and revolving credit agreements contain customary covenants requiring us to maintain insurance. Although we believe that we have adequate insurance coverage for purposes of these agreements, we may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable costs in the future. Further, if lenders insist on greater coverage than we are able to obtain it could adversely affect our ability to finance our properties and expand our portfolio. Compliance or failure to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act or other safety regulations and requirements could result in substantial costs. The Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) generally requires that public buildings, including our properties, meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Noncompliance could result in the imposition of fines by the federal government or the award of damages to private litigants and/or legal fees to their counsel. From time to time persons have asserted claims against us with respect to some of our properties under the ADA, but to date such claims have not resulted in any material expense or liability. If, under the ADA, we are required to make substantial alterations and capital expenditures in one or more of our properties, including the removal of access barriers, it could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations, as well as the amount of cash available for distribution to equity holders. Our properties are subject to various federal, state and local regulatory requirements, such as state and local fire and life safety requirements. If we fail to comply with these requirements, we could incur fines or private damage awards. We do not know whether existing requirements will change or whether compliance with future requirements will require significant unanticipated expenditures that will affect our cash flow and results of operations. 14 OUR INVESTMENTS ARE CONCENTRATED CURRENTLY IN THE NEW YORK CITY METROPOLITAN AREA AND WASHINGTON, DC/NORTHERN VIRGINIA AREA AND CIRCUMSTANCES AFFECTING THESE AREAS GENERALLY COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS. UPON COMPLETION OF OUR PROPOSED SPIN-OFF OF OUR WASHINGTON, DC SEGMENT, OUR BUSINESS AND INVESTMENTS WILL BE LESS DIVERSIFIED AND MORE CONCENTRATED IN THE NEW YORK CITY METROPOLITAN AREA. A significant portion of our properties are located currently in the New York City/New Jersey metropolitan area and Washington, DC/Northern Virginia area and are affected by the economic cycles and risks inherent to those areas. In 2016, approximately 91% of our EBITDA, as adjusted, came from properties located in the New York City metropolitan area and the Washington, DC/Northern Virginia area. We may continue to concentrate a significant portion of our future acquisitions in these areas or in other geographic real estate markets in the United States or abroad. Real estate markets are subject to economic downturns and we cannot predict how economic conditions will impact these markets in either the short or long term. Declines in the economy or declines in real estate markets in these areas could hurt our financial performance and the value of our properties. In addition to the factors affecting the national economic condition generally, the factors affecting economic conditions in these regions include: • financial performance and productivity of the media, advertising, financial, technology, retail, insurance and real estate industries; • • • • • • • with respect to our Washington, DC segment, space needs of, and budgetary constraints affecting, the United States Government, including the effect of a deficit reduction plan and/or base closures and repositioning under the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 2005, as amended; business layoffs or downsizing; industry slowdowns; relocations of businesses; changing demographics; increased telecommuting and use of alternative work places; changes in the number of domestic and international tourists to our markets (including, as a result of changes in the relative strengths of world currencies); infrastructure quality; and any oversupply of, or reduced demand for, real estate. • • Assuming we complete the spin-off of our Washington, DC segment as expected, our real estate investments will be more concentrated in New York City and less diversified than prior to the spin-off. After giving effect to the spin-off and assuming it was completed as of January 1, 2016, 89% of our EBITDA, as adjusted, came from properties located in the New York City metropolitan area. It is impossible for us to assess the future effects of trends in the economic and investment climates of the geographic areas in which we concentrate, and more generally of the United States, or the real estate markets in these areas. Local, national or global economic downturns, would negatively affect our businesses and profitability. Terrorist attacks, such as those of September 11, 2001 in New York City and the Washington, DC area, may adversely affect the value of our properties and our ability to generate cash flow. We have significant investments in large metropolitan areas, including the New York, Washington, DC, Chicago and San Francisco metropolitan areas. In response to a terrorist attack or the perceived threat of terrorism, tenants in these areas may choose to relocate their businesses to less populated, lower-profile areas of the United States that may be perceived to be less likely targets of future terrorist activity and fewer customers may choose to patronize businesses in these areas. This, in turn, would trigger a decrease in the demand for space in these areas, which could increase vacancies in our properties and force us to lease space on less favorable terms. As a result, the value of our properties and the level of our revenues and cash flows could decline materially. Natural disasters and the effects of climate change could have a concentrated impact on the areas where we operate and could adversely impact our results. Our investments are concentrated in the New York, Washington, DC, Chicago and San Francisco metropolitan areas. Natural disasters, including earthquakes, storms and hurricanes, could impact our properties in these and other areas in which we operate. Potentially adverse consequences of “global warming” could similarly have an impact on our properties. As a result, we could become subject to significant losses and/or repair costs that may or may not be fully covered by insurance and to the risk of business interruption. The incurrence of these losses, costs or business interruptions may adversely affect our operating and financial results. 15 WE MAY ACQUIRE OR SELL ASSETS OR ENTITIES OR DEVELOP PROPERTIES. OUR FAILURE OR INABILITY TO CONSUMMATE THESE TRANSACTIONS OR MANAGE THE RESULTS OF THESE TRANSACTIONS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL RESULTS. We may acquire, develop or redevelop real estate and acquire related companies and this may create risks. We may acquire, develop or redevelop properties or acquire real estate related companies when we believe doing so is consistent with our business strategy. We may not succeed in (i) developing, redeveloping or acquiring real estate and real estate related companies; (ii) completing these activities on time or within budget; and (iii) leasing or selling developed, redeveloped or acquired properties at amounts sufficient to cover our costs. Competition in these activities could also significantly increase our costs. Difficulties in integrating acquisitions may prove costly or time-consuming and could divert management’s attention. Acquisitions or developments in new markets or industries where we do not have the same level of market knowledge may result in weaker than anticipated performance. We may also abandon acquisition or development opportunities that we have begun pursuing and consequently fail to recover expenses already incurred. Furthermore, we may be exposed to the liabilities of properties or companies acquired, some of which we may not be aware of at the time of acquisition. From time to time we have made, and in the future we may seek to make, one or more material acquisitions. The announcement of such a material acquisition may result in a rapid and significant decline in the price of our securities. We are continuously looking at material transactions that we believe will maximize shareholder value. However, an announcement by us of one or more significant acquisitions could result in a quick and significant decline in the price of our securities. It may be difficult to buy and sell real estate quickly, which may limit our flexibility. Real estate investments are relatively difficult to buy and sell quickly. Consequently, we may have limited ability to vary our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. We may not be permitted to dispose of certain properties or pay down the debt associated with those properties when we might otherwise desire to do so without incurring additional costs. In addition, when we dispose of or sell assets, we may not be able to reinvest the sales proceeds and earn similar returns. As part of an acquisition of a property, or a portfolio of properties, we may agree, and in the past have agreed, not to dispose of the acquired properties or reduce the mortgage indebtedness for a long-term period, unless we pay certain of the resulting tax costs of the seller. These agreements could result in us holding on to properties that we would otherwise sell and not pay down or refinance. In addition, when we dispose of or sell assets, we may not be able to reinvest the sales proceeds and earn returns similar to those generated by the assets that were sold. From time to time we have made, and in the future we may seek to make, investments in companies over which we do not have sole control. Some of these companies operate in industries with different risks than investing and operating real estate. From time to time we have made, and in the future we may seek to make, investments in companies that we may not control, including, but not limited to, Alexander’s, Inc. (“Alexander’s”), Toys “R” Us, Inc. (“Toys”), Lexington Realty Trust (“Lexington”), Urban Edge Properties (“UE”), Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (“PREIT”), and other equity and loan investments. Although these businesses generally have a significant real estate component, some of them operate in businesses that are different from investing and operating real estate, including operating or managing toy stores. Consequently, we are subject to operating and financial risks of those industries and to the risks associated with lack of control, such as having differing objectives than our partners or the entities in which we invest, or becoming involved in disputes, or competing directly or indirectly with these partners or entities. In addition, we rely on the internal controls and financial reporting controls of these entities and their failure to maintain effectiveness or comply with applicable standards may adversely affect us. We are subject to risks that affect the general and New York City retail environments. Certain of our properties are Manhattan street retail properties. As such, these properties are affected by the general and New York City retail environments, including the level of consumer spending and consumer confidence, change in relative strengths of world currencies, the threat of terrorism, increasing competition from retailers, outlet malls, retail websites and catalog companies and the impact of technological change upon the retail environment generally. These factors could adversely affect the financial condition of our retail tenants and the willingness of retailers to lease space in our retail locations, and in turn, adversely affect us. 16 Our investment in Toys has in the past and may in the future result in increased seasonality and volatility in our reported earnings. We carry our Toys investment at zero. As a result, we no longer record our equity in Toys' income or loss. Because Toys is a retailer, its operations subject us to the risks of a retail company that are different than those presented by our other lines of business. The business of Toys is highly seasonal and substantially all of Toys net income is generated in its fourth quarter. It is possible that the value of Toys may increase and we could again resume recording our equity in Toys' income or loss, which would increase the seasonality and volatility of our reported earnings. Our decision to dispose of real estate assets would change the holding period assumption in our valuation analyses, which could result in material impairment losses and adversely affect our financial results. We evaluate real estate assets for impairment based on the projected cash flow of the asset over our anticipated holding period. If we change our intended holding period, due to our intention to sell or otherwise dispose of an asset, then under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, we must reevaluate whether that asset is impaired. Depending on the carrying value of the property at the time we change our intention and the amount that we estimate we would receive on disposal, we may record an impairment loss that would adversely affect our financial results. This loss could be material to our results of operations in the period that it is recognized. We invest in marketable equity securities. The value of these investments may decline as a result of operating performance or economic or market conditions. We invest in marketable equity securities of publicly-traded companies, such as Lexington. As of December 31, 2016, our marketable securities have an aggregate carrying amount of $203,704,000, at market. Significant declines in the value of these investments due to, among other reasons, operating performance or economic or market conditions, may result in the recognition of impairment losses which could be material. We may be unable to achieve some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve from the spin-off. Although we believe that separating our Washington, DC segment will provide benefits to us and our shareholders, the spin-off may not provide such results on the scope or scale we anticipate, and neither we nor JBG SMITH may realize the intended benefits of the spin-off. In addition, we will incur one-time costs in connection with the spin-off that may exceed our estimates and negate some of the benefits we expect to achieve. Further, if the proposed spin-off is completed, our operational and financial profile will change upon the separation of the Washington, DC segment from us. As a result, our diversification of revenue sources will diminish, and our results of operations, cash flows, working capital, and financing requirements may be subject to increased volatility. 17 OUR ORGANIZATIONAL AND FINANCIAL STRUCTURE GIVES RISE TO OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL RISKS. We may not be able to obtain capital to make investments. We depend primarily on external financing to fund the growth of our business. This is because one of the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for a REIT is that it distributes 90% of its taxable income, excluding net capital gains, to its shareholders. This, in turn, requires the Operating Partnership to make distributions to its unitholders. There is a separate requirement to distribute net capital gains or pay a corporate level tax in lieu thereof. Our access to debt or equity financing depends on the willingness of third parties to lend or make equity investments and on conditions in the capital markets generally. Although we believe that we will be able to finance any investments we may wish to make in the foreseeable future, there can be no assurance that new financing will be available or available on acceptable terms. For information about our available sources of funds, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources” and the notes to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We depend on dividends and distributions from our direct and indirect subsidiaries. The creditors and preferred equity holders of these subsidiaries are entitled to amounts payable to them by the subsidiaries before the subsidiaries may pay any dividends or distributions to us. Substantially all of Vornado’s assets are held through its Operating Partnership that holds substantially all of its properties and assets through subsidiaries. The Operating Partnership’s cash flow is dependent on cash distributions to it by its subsidiaries, and in turn, substantially all of Vornado’s cash flow is dependent on cash distributions to it by the Operating Partnership. The creditors of each of Vornado’s direct and indirect subsidiaries are entitled to payment of that subsidiary’s obligations to them, when due and payable, before distributions may be made by that subsidiary to its equity holders. Thus, the Operating Partnership’s ability to make distributions to its equity holders depends on its subsidiaries’ ability first to satisfy their obligations to their creditors and then to make distributions to the Operating Partnership. Likewise, Vornado’s ability to pay dividends to its holders of common and preferred shares depends on the Operating Partnership’s ability first to satisfy its obligations to its creditors and make distributions payable to holders of preferred units and then to make distributions to Vornado. Furthermore, the holders of preferred units of the Operating Partnership are entitled to receive preferred distributions before payment of distributions to the Operating Partnership’s equity holders, including Vornado. Thus, Vornado’s ability to pay cash dividends to its equity holders and satisfy its debt obligations depends on the Operating Partnership’s ability first to satisfy its obligations to its creditors and make distributions to holders of its preferred units and then to its equity holders, including Vornado. As of December 31, 2016, there were four series of preferred units of the Operating Partnership not held by Vornado with a total liquidation value of $56,047,000. In addition, Vornado’s participation in any distribution of the assets of any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries upon the liquidation, reorganization or insolvency, is only after the claims of the creditors, including trade creditors and preferred equity holders, are satisfied. We have a substantial amount of indebtedness that could affect our future operations. As of December 31, 2016, our consolidated mortgages and unsecured indebtedness, excluding related premium, discount and deferred financing costs, net, totaled $10.7 billion. We are subject to the risks normally associated with debt financing, including the risk that our cash flow from operations will be insufficient to meet required debt service. Our debt service costs generally will not be reduced if developments at the property, such as the entry of new competitors or the loss of major tenants, cause a reduction in the income from the property. Should such events occur, our operations may be adversely affected. If a property is mortgaged to secure payment of indebtedness and income from such property is insufficient to pay that indebtedness, the property could be foreclosed upon by the mortgagee resulting in a loss of income and a decline in our total asset value. 18 We have outstanding debt, and the amount of debt and its cost may increase and refinancing may not be available on acceptable terms. We rely on both secured and unsecured, variable rate and non-variable rate debt to finance acquisitions and development activities and for working capital. If we are unable to obtain debt financing or refinance existing indebtedness upon maturity, our financial condition and results of operations would likely be adversely affected. In addition, the cost of our existing debt may increase, especially in the case of a rising interest rate environment, and we may not be able to refinance our existing debt in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms. If the cost or amount of our indebtedness increases or we cannot refinance our debt in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms, we are at risk of credit ratings downgrades and default on our obligations that could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Covenants in our debt instruments could adversely affect our financial condition and our acquisitions and development activities. The mortgages on our properties contain customary covenants such as those that limit our ability, without the prior consent of the lender, to further mortgage the applicable property or to discontinue insurance coverage. Our unsecured indebtedness and debt that we may obtain in the future may contain customary restrictions, requirements and other limitations on our ability to incur indebtedness, including covenants that limit our ability to incur debt based upon the level of our ratio of total debt to total assets, our ratio of secured debt to total assets, our ratio of EBITDA to interest expense, and fixed charges, and that require us to maintain a certain level of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt. Our ability to borrow is subject to compliance with these and other covenants. In addition, failure to comply with our covenants could cause a default under the applicable debt instrument, and we may then be required to repay such debt with capital from other sources or give possession of a secured property to the lender. Under those circumstances, other sources of capital may not be available to us, or may be available only on unattractive terms. A downgrade in our credit ratings could materially adversely affect our business and financial condition. Our credit rating and the credit ratings assigned to our debt securities and our preferred shares could change based upon, among other things, our results of operations and financial condition. These ratings are subject to ongoing evaluation by credit rating agencies, and any rating could be changed or withdrawn by a rating agency in the future if, in its judgment, circumstances warrant such action. Moreover, these credit ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold our common shares or any other securities. If any of the credit rating agencies that have rated our securities downgrades or lowers its credit rating, or if any credit rating agency indicates that it has placed any such rating on a “watch list” for a possible downgrading or lowering, or otherwise indicates that its outlook for that rating is negative, such action could have a material adverse effect on our costs and availability of funding, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, the trading/redemption price of our securities, and our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay dividends and distributions to our equity holders. Vornado may fail to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT and may be required to pay income taxes at corporate rates. Although we believe that Vornado will remain organized and will continue to operate so as to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, Vornado may fail to remain so qualified. Qualifications are governed by highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code for which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations and depend on various facts and circumstances that are not entirely within our control. In addition, legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions may significantly change the relevant tax laws and/or the federal income tax consequences of qualifying as a REIT. If, with respect to any taxable year, Vornado fails to maintain its qualification as a REIT and does not qualify under statutory relief provisions, Vornado could not deduct distributions to shareholders in computing our taxable income and would have to pay federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates. The federal income tax payable would include any applicable alternative minimum tax. If Vornado had to pay federal income tax, the amount of money available to distribute to equity holders and pay its indebtedness would be reduced for the year or years involved, and Vornado would not be required to make distributions to shareholders in that taxable year and in future years until it was able to qualify as a REIT. In addition, Vornado would also be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost, unless Vornado were entitled to relief under the relevant statutory provisions. We face possible adverse changes in tax laws, which may result in an increase in our tax liability. From time to time changes in state and local tax laws or regulations are enacted, which may result in an increase in our tax liability. The shortfall in tax revenues for states and municipalities in recent years may lead to an increase in the frequency and size of such changes. If such changes occur, we may be required to pay additional taxes on our assets or income. These increased tax costs could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and the amount of cash available for payment of dividends and distributions. 19 Loss of our key personnel could harm our operations and adversely affect the value of our common shares and Operating Partnership Class A units. We are dependent on the efforts of Steven Roth, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Chief Executive Officer of Vornado. While we believe that we could find a replacement for him and other key personnel, the loss of their services could harm our operations and adversely affect the value of our securities. VORNADO’S CHARTER DOCUMENTS AND APPLICABLE LAW MAY HINDER ANY ATTEMPT TO ACQUIRE US. Vornado’s Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust (the “declaration of trust”) sets limits on the ownership of its shares. Generally, for Vornado to maintain its qualification as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, not more than 50% in value of the outstanding shares of beneficial interest of Vornado may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of Vornado’s taxable year. The Internal Revenue Code defines “individuals” for purposes of the requirement described in the preceding sentence to include some types of entities. Under Vornado’s declaration of trust, as amended, no person may own more than 6.7% of the outstanding common shares of any class, or 9.9% of the outstanding preferred shares of any class, with some exceptions for persons who held common shares in excess of the 6.7% limit before Vornado adopted the limit and other persons approved by Vornado’s Board of Trustees. These restrictions on transferability and ownership may delay, deter or prevent a change in control of Vornado or other transaction that might involve a premium price or otherwise be in the best interest of equity holders. The Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”) contains provisions that may reduce the likelihood of certain takeover transactions. The MGCL imposes conditions and restrictions on certain “business combinations” (including, among other transactions, a merger, consolidation, share exchange, or, in certain circumstances, an asset transfer or issuance of equity securities) between a Maryland REIT and certain persons who beneficially own at least 10% of the corporation’s stock (an “interested shareholder”). Unless approved in advance by the board of trustees of the trust, or otherwise exempted by the statute, such a business combination is prohibited for a period of five years after the most recent date on which the interested shareholder became an interested shareholder. After such five-year period, a business combination with an interested shareholder must be: (a) recommended by the board of trustees of the trust, and (b) approved by the affirmative vote of at least (i) 80% of the trust’s outstanding shares entitled to vote and (ii) two- thirds of the trust’s outstanding shares entitled to vote which are not held by the interested shareholder with whom the business combination is to be effected, unless, among other things, the trust’s common shareholders receive a “fair price” (as defined by the statute) for their shares and the consideration is received in cash or in the same form as previously paid by the interested shareholder for his or her shares. In approving a transaction, Vornado’s Board of Trustees may provide that its approval is subject to compliance, at or after the time of approval, with any terms and conditions determined by the Board of Trustees. Vornado’s Board of Trustees has adopted a resolution exempting any business combination between Vornado and any trustee or officer of Vornado or its affiliates. As a result, any trustee or officer of Vornado or its affiliates may be able to enter into business combinations with Vornado that may not be in the best interest of our equity holders. With respect to business combinations with other persons, the business combination provisions of the MGCL may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Vornado or other transaction that might involve a premium price or otherwise be in the best interest of our equity holders. The business combination statute may discourage others from trying to acquire control of Vornado and increase the difficulty of consummating any offer. Until 2019, Vornado has a classified Board of Trustees and that may reduce the likelihood of certain takeover transactions. Vornado’s Board of Trustees is divided currently into three classes of trustees. Commencing this year, each class of trustees that is up for election will be elected for a one-year term with all trustees forming a single class elected annually commencing in 2019. Historically trustees of each class have been chosen for three-year staggered terms. Staggered terms of trustees may reduce the possibility of a tender offer or an attempt to change control of Vornado, even though a tender offer or change in control might be in the best interest of our equity holders. 20 Vornado may issue additional shares in a manner that could adversely affect the likelihood of certain takeover transactions. Vornado’s declaration of trust authorizes the Board of Trustees to: • • • • cause Vornado to issue additional authorized but unissued common shares or preferred shares; classify or reclassify, in one or more series, any unissued preferred shares; set the preferences, rights and other terms of any classified or reclassified shares that Vornado issues; and increase, without shareholder approval, the number of shares of beneficial interest that Vornado may issue. Vornado’s Board of Trustees could establish a series of preferred shares whose terms could delay, deter or prevent a change in control of Vornado, and therefore of the Operating Partnership, or other transaction that might involve a premium price or otherwise be in the best interest of our equity holders, although Vornado’s Board of Trustees does not now intend to establish a series of preferred shares of this kind. Vornado’s declaration of trust and bylaws contain other provisions that may delay, deter or prevent a change in control of Vornado or other transaction that might involve a premium price or otherwise be in the best interest of our equity holders. We may change our policies without obtaining the approval of our equity holders. Our operating and financial policies, including our policies with respect to acquisitions of real estate or other companies, growth, operations, indebtedness, capitalization, dividends and distributions, are exclusively determined by Vornado’s Board of Trustees. Accordingly, our equity holders do not control these policies. OUR OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE AND RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS MAY GIVE RISE TO CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. Steven Roth and Interstate Properties may exercise substantial influence over us. They and some of Vornado’s other trustees and officers have interests or positions in other entities that may compete with us. As of December 31, 2016, Interstate Properties, a New Jersey general partnership, and its partners owned an aggregate of approximately 7.1% of the common shares of Vornado and 26.3% of the common stock of Alexander’s, which is described below. Steven Roth, David Mandelbaum and Russell B. Wight, Jr. are the three partners of Interstate Properties. Mr. Roth is the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Chief Executive Officer of Vornado, the managing general partner of Interstate Properties, and the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of Alexander’s. Messrs. Wight and Mandelbaum are Trustees of Vornado and also Directors of Alexander’s. Because of these overlapping interests, Mr. Roth and Interstate Properties and its partners may have substantial influence over Vornado, and therefore over the Operating Partnership, and on the outcome of any matters submitted to Vornado’s shareholders for approval. In addition, certain decisions concerning our operations or financial structure may present conflicts of interest among Messrs. Roth, Mandelbaum and Wight and Interstate Properties and our other equity holders. In addition, Mr. Roth, Interstate Properties and its partners, and Alexander’s currently and may in the future engage in a wide variety of activities in the real estate business which may result in conflicts of interest with respect to matters affecting us, such as which of these entities or persons, if any, may take advantage of potential business opportunities, the business focus of these entities, the types of properties and geographic locations in which these entities make investments, potential competition between business activities conducted, or sought to be conducted, competition for properties and tenants, possible corporate transactions such as acquisitions and other strategic decisions affecting the future of these entities. We manage and lease the real estate assets of Interstate Properties under a management agreement for which we receive an annual fee equal to 4% of annual base rent and percentage rent. See Note 21 – Related Party Transactions to our consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information. There may be conflicts of interest between Alexander’s and us. As of December 31, 2016, we owned 32.4% of the outstanding common stock of Alexander’s. Alexander’s is a REIT that has seven properties, which are located in the greater New York metropolitan area. In addition to the 2.3% that they indirectly own through Vornado, Interstate Properties, which is described above, and its partners owned 26.3% of the outstanding common stock of Alexander’s as of December 31, 2016. Mr. Roth is the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Chief Executive Office of Vornado, the managing general partner of Interstate Properties, and the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of Alexander’s. Messrs. Wight and Mandelbaum are Trustees of Vornado and also Directors of Alexander’s and general partners of Interstate Properties. Dr. Richard West is a Trustee of Vornado and a Director of Alexander’s. In addition, Joseph Macnow, our Executive Vice President – Finance and Chief Administrative Officer, is the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Alexander’s, and Stephen W. Theriot, our Chief Financial Officer, is the Assistant Treasurer of Alexander’s. 21 We manage, develop and lease Alexander’s properties under management and development agreements and leasing agreements under which we receive annual fees from Alexander’s. See Note 21 – Related Party Transactions to our consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information. THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF VORNADO REALTY TRUST AND THE MARKET FOR THOSE SHARES GIVE RISE TO VARIOUS RISKS. The trading price of Vornado’s common shares has been volatile and may fluctuate. The trading price of Vornado’s common shares has been volatile and may continue to fluctuate widely as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. In addition, the stock market is subject to fluctuations in the share prices and trading volumes that affect the market prices of the shares of many companies. These broad market fluctuations have in the past and may in the future adversely affect the market price of Vornado’s common shares and the redemption price of the Operating Partnership’s Class A units. Among those factors are: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • our financial condition and performance; the financial condition of our tenants, including the extent of tenant bankruptcies or defaults; actual or anticipated quarterly fluctuations in our operating results and financial condition; our dividend policy; the reputation of REITs and real estate investments generally and the attractiveness of REIT equity securities in comparison to other equity securities, including securities issued by other real estate companies, and fixed income securities; uncertainty and volatility in the equity and credit markets; fluctuations in interest rates; changes in revenue or earnings estimates or publication of research reports and recommendations by financial analysts or actions taken by rating agencies with respect to our securities or those of other REITs; failure to meet analysts’ revenue or earnings estimates; speculation in the press or investment community; strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings; the extent of institutional investor interest in us; the extent of short-selling of Vornado common shares and the shares of our competitors; fluctuations in the stock price and operating results of our competitors; general financial and economic market conditions and, in particular, developments related to market conditions for REITs and other real estate related companies; domestic and international economic factors unrelated to our performance; and all other risk factors addressed elsewhere in this Annual Report on the Form 10-K. A significant decline in Vornado’s stock price could result in substantial losses for our equity holders. Vornado has many shares available for future sale, which could hurt the market price of its shares and the redemption price of the Operating Partnership’s units. The interests of equity holders could be diluted if we issue additional equity securities. As of December 31, 2016, Vornado had authorized but unissued, 60,899,124 common shares of beneficial interest, $.04 par value and 67,116,023 preferred shares of beneficial interest, no par value; of which 19,538,084 common shares are reserved for issuance upon redemption of Class A Operating Partnership units, convertible securities and employee stock options and 11,200,000 preferred shares are reserved for issuance upon redemption of preferred Operating Partnership units. Any shares not reserved may be issued from time to time in public or private offerings or in connection with acquisitions. In addition, common and preferred shares reserved may be sold upon issuance in the public market after registration under the Securities Act or under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or other available exemptions from registration. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of Vornado’s common and preferred shares or Operating Partnership Class A and preferred units will have on the market prices of our securities. In addition, under Maryland law, Vornado’s Board of Trustees has the authority to increase the number of authorized shares without shareholder approval. ITEM 1B.

(4) Reclassified to Other from Washington, DC segment. 26 NEW YORK As of December 31, 2016, our New York segment consisted of 28.3 million square feet in 86 properties. The 28.3 million square feet is comprised of 20.2 million square feet of office space in 36 properties, 2.7 million square feet of retail space in 70 properties, 2,004 units in twelve residential properties, the 1.4 million square foot Hotel Pennsylvania, and our 32.4% interest in Alexander’s, Inc. (“Alexander’s”), which owns seven properties in the greater New York metropolitan area. The New York segment also includes 11 garages totaling 1.7 million square feet (4,970 spaces) which are managed by, or leased to, third parties. New York lease terms generally range from five to seven years for smaller tenants to as long as 20 years for major tenants, and may provide for extension options at market rates. Leases typically provide for periodic step-ups in rent over the term of the lease and pass through to tenants their share of increases in real estate taxes and operating expenses over a base year. Electricity is provided to tenants on a sub-metered basis or included in rent based on surveys and adjusted for subsequent utility rate increases.

Steven Roth, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Chief Executive Officer of Vornado, will be Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the new company, which will be named JBG SMITH Properties. Mitchell Schear, President of our Washington, DC business, will be a member of the Board of Trustees of the new company. The pro rata distribution to Vornado common shareholders and Class A Operating Partnership unitholders is intended to be treated as a tax-free spin-off for U.S. federal income tax purposes. It is expected to be made on a pro rata 1:2 basis. The initial Form 10 registration statement relating to the spin-off and merger was filed with the SEC on January 23, 2017 and the distribution and combination are expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2017. The distribution and combination are subject to certain conditions, including the SEC declaring the Form 10 registration statement effective, filing and approval of the new company’s listing application, receipt of regulatory approvals and third party consents by each of the Company and JBG, and formal declaration of the distribution by Vornado’s Board of Trustees. The distribution and combination are not subject to a vote by Vornado’s shareholders or Operating Partnership unitholders. Vornado’s Board of Trustees has approved the transaction. JBG has obtained all requisite approvals from its investment funds for this transaction. There can be no assurance that this transaction will be completed. On August 24, 2016, the Skyline properties, located in Fairfax, Virginia, were placed in receivership.

There was no taxable income related to this transaction.

Washington, DC office lease terms generally range from five to seven years for smaller tenants to as long as 15 years for major tenants, and may provide for extension options at either pre-negotiated or market rates. Leases typically provide for periodic step-ups in rent over the term of the lease and pass through to tenants, the tenants’ share of increases in real estate taxes and certain property operating expenses over a base year.

NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude net gains from sales of depreciated real estate assets, real estate impairment losses, depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets and other specified non-cash items, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries. FFO and FFO per diluted share are non-GAAP financial measures used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a performance measure or cash flow as a liquidity measure. FFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. 37 ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA Vornado Realty L.P.

Accordingly, Vornado’s cash flow and ability to pay dividends to its shareholders is dependent upon the cash flow of the Operating Partnership and the ability of its direct and indirect subsidiaries to first satisfy their obligations to creditors. Vornado is the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 93.7% of the common limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as of December 31, 2016. All references to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean collectively Vornado, the Operating Partnership and those entities/subsidiaries consolidated by Vornado. On October 31, 2016, Vornado’s Board of Trustees approved the tax-free spin-off of our Washington, DC segment and we entered into a definitive agreement to merge it with the business and certain select assets of The JBG Companies (“JBG”), a Washington, DC real estate company. Steven Roth, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Chief Executive Officer of Vornado, will be Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the new company, which will be named JBG SMITH Properties. Mitchell Schear, President of our Washington, DC business, will be a member of the Board of Trustees of the new company. The pro rata distribution to Vornado common shareholders and Class A Operating Partnership unitholders is intended to be treated as a tax-free spin-off for U.S. federal income tax purposes. It is expected to be made on a pro rata 1:2 basis. The initial Form 10 registration statement relating to the spin-off and merger was filed with the SEC on January 23, 2017 and the distribution and combination are expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2017. The distribution and combination are subject to certain conditions, including the SEC declaring the Form 10 registration statement effective, filing and approval of the new company’s listing application, receipt of regulatory approvals and third party consents by each of the Company and JBG, and formal declaration of the distribution by Vornado’s Board of Trustees. The distribution and combination are not subject to a vote by Vornado’s shareholders or Operating Partnership unitholders. Vornado’s Board of Trustees has approved the transaction. JBG has obtained all requisite approvals from its investment funds for this transaction. There can be no assurance that this transaction will be completed. We own and operate office and retail properties with large concentrations in the New York City metropolitan area and in the Washington, DC/Northern Virginia area. In addition, we have a 32.4% interest in Alexander’s, Inc. (“Alexander’s”) (NYSE: ALX), which owns seven properties in the greater New York metropolitan area, a 32.5% interest in Toys “R” Us, Inc. (“Toys”) as well as interests in other real estate and related investments. Our business objective is to maximize Vornado shareholder value, which we measure by the total return provided to our shareholders. Below is a table comparing Vornado’s performance to the FTSE NAREIT Office Index (“Office REIT”) and the MSCI US REIT Index (“MSCI”) for the following periods ended December 31, 2016: Three-month One-year Three-year Five-year Ten-year Vornado 3.9% 7.3% 40.6% 76.0% 36.9% Total Return(1) Office REIT 0.6% 13.2% 42.8% 72.1% 31.0% MSCI (3.0%) 8.6% 45.2% 75.2% 62.3% (1) Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance. 40 Overview – continued We intend to achieve this objective by continuing to pursue our investment philosophy and execute our operating strategies through: • maintaining a superior team of operating and investment professionals and an entrepreneurial spirit; • investing in properties in select markets, such as New York City, where we believe there is a high likelihood of capital appreciation; acquiring quality properties at a discount to replacement cost and where there is a significant potential for higher rents; investing in retail properties in select under-stored locations such as the New York City metropolitan area; developing and redeveloping our existing properties to increase returns and maximize value; and investing in operating companies that have a significant real estate component. • • • • We expect to finance our growth, acquisitions and investments using internally generated funds, proceeds from asset sales and by accessing the public and private capital markets. We may also offer Vornado common or preferred shares or Operating Partnership units in exchange for property and may repurchase or otherwise reacquire these securities in the future. We compete with a large number of real estate property owners and developers, some of which may be willing to accept lower returns on their investments. Principal factors of competition are rents charged, sales prices, attractiveness of location, the quality of the property and the breadth and the quality of services provided. Our success depends upon, among other factors, trends of the global, national, regional and local economies, the financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants and customers, availability and cost of capital, construction and renovation costs, taxes, governmental regulations, legislation, population and employment trends. See “Risk Factors” in Item 1A for additional information regarding these factors.

Calculations of same store EBITDA, reconciliations of our net income to EBITDA and FFO and the reasons we consider these non-GAAP financial measures useful are provided in the following pages of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the Financial Condition and Results of Operations. 44 Overview – continued Washington, DC Segment Excluding the Skyline Properties which were disposed of on December 21, 2016, our Washington, DC segment EBITDA as adjusted was $290,500,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016, which is flat to 2015 as a result of an increase in EBITDA from the core business of $3,100,000, offset by a decline in EBITDA from properties taken out-of-service of $3,100,000. These results are slightly ahead of the guidance we published for 2016. We expect to complete the spin-off of our Washington, DC segment in the second quarter of 2017. We expect that Washington, DC’s EBITDA as adjusted during the first half of 2017 will be lower than the first half of 2016 by approximately $1,000,000 to $5,000,000, comprised of: (i) (ii) core business approximately $2,000,000 to $6,000,000 higher than 2016, offset by, reduction in EBITDA of approximately $6,000,000 to $8,000,000 from 1700 M Street, 1800 South Bell and 1750 Crystal Drive being taken out-of-service for redevelopment. Investments On March 17, 2016, we entered into a joint venture, in which we own a 33.3% interest, which owns a $150,000,000 mezzanine loan with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 8.88% and an initial maturity date in November 2016, with two three-month extension options. On November 9, 2016, the mezzanine loan was extended to May 2017 with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 9.42% (10.08% at December 31, 2016) during the extension period. As of December 31, 2016, the joint venture has fully funded its commitments. The joint venture’s investment is subordinate to $350,000,000 of third party debt. We account for our investment in the joint venture under the equity method. On May 20, 2016, we contributed $19,650,000 for a 50.0% equity interest in a joint venture that will develop 606 Broadway, a 34,000 square foot office and retail building, located on Houston Street in Manhattan. The development cost of this project is estimated to be approximately $104,000,000. At closing, the joint venture obtained a $65,000,000 construction loan, of which approximately $25,800,000 was outstanding at December 31, 2016. The loan, which bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.00% (3.66% at December 31, 2016), matures in May 2019 with two one-year extension options. Because this joint venture is a VIE and we determined we are the primary beneficiary, we consolidate the accounts of this joint venture from the date of our investment. Dispositions On May 27, 2016, we sold a 47% ownership interest in 7 West 34th Street, a 479,000 square foot Manhattan office building leased to Amazon, and retained the remaining 53% interest. This transaction was based on a property value of approximately $561,000,000 or $1,176 per square foot. We received net proceeds of $127,382,000 from the sale and realized a net gain of $203,324,000, of which $159,511,000 was recognized in the second quarter of 2016 and is included in “net gain on disposition of wholly owned and partially owned assets” in our consolidated statements of income. The remaining net gain of $43,813,000 has been deferred until our guarantee of payment of loan principal and interest is removed or the loan is repaid. We realized a net tax gain of $90,017,000. We continue to manage and lease the property. We share control over major decisions with our joint venture partner. Accordingly, this property is accounted for under the equity method from the date of sale. On December 19, 2016, we completed the sale of our 20% interest in Fairfax Square to our joint venture partner for $15,500,000, which resulted in a net gain of approximately $15,302,000. On August 24, 2016, the Skyline properties, located in Fairfax, Virginia, were placed in receivership. On December 21, 2016, the final disposition of the Skyline properties was completed by the receiver. In connection therewith, the Skyline properties’ assets (approximately $236,535,000) and liabilities (approximately $724,412,000), were removed from our consolidated balance sheet which resulted in a net gain of $487,877,000. There was no taxable income related to this transaction. 45 Overview – continued Financings Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility On November 7, 2016, we extended one of our two $1.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facilities from June 2017 to February 2021 with two six-month extension options. The interest rate on the extended facility was lowered from LIBOR plus 115 basis points to LIBOR plus 100 basis points. The facility fee remains unchanged at 20 basis points. Secured Debt On February 8, 2016, we completed a $700,000,000 refinancing of 770 Broadway, a 1,158,000 square foot Manhattan office building. The five-year loan is interest only at LIBOR plus 1.75% (2.40% at December 31, 2016), which was swapped for four and a half years to a fixed rate of 2.56%. The Company realized net proceeds of approximately $330,000,000. The property was previously encumbered by a 5.65%, $353,000,000 mortgage which was scheduled to mature in March 2016. On May 16, 2016, we completed a $300,000,000 recourse financing of 7 West 34th Street. The ten-year loan is interest only at a fixed rate of 3.65% and matures in June 2026. On September 6, 2016, we completed a $675,000,000 refinancing of theMART, a 3,652,000 square foot commercial building in Chicago. The five-year loan is interest only and has a fixed rate of 2.70%. The Company realized net proceeds of approximately $124,000,000. The property was previously encumbered by a 5.57%, $550,000,000 mortgage which was scheduled to mature in December 2016. On December 2, 2016, we completed a $400,000,000 refinancing of 350 Park Avenue, a 571,000 square foot Manhattan office building. The ten-year loan is interest only and has a fixed rate of 3.92%. The Company realized net proceeds of approximately $111,000,000. The property was previously encumbered by a 3.75%, $284,000,000 mortgage which was scheduled to mature in January 2017. Preferred Securities On September 1, 2016, we redeemed all of the outstanding 6.875% Series J cumulative redeemable preferred shares/units at their redemption price of $25.00 per share/unit, or $246,250,000 in the aggregate, plus accrued and unpaid dividends/distributions through the date of redemption. In connection therewith, we expensed $7,408,000 of issuance costs, which reduced net income attributable to common shareholders and net income attributable to Class A unitholders in the twelve months ended December 31, 2016. These costs had been initially recorded as a reduction of shareholders’ equity and partners’ capital. 46 Overview - continued Leasing Activity The leasing activity and related statistics in the tables below are based on leases signed during the period and are not intended to coincide with the commencement of rental revenue in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Actual results could differ from those estimates. Set forth below is a summary of the accounting policies that we believe are critical to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. The summary should be read in conjunction with the more complete discussion of our accounting policies included in Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Real Estate Real estate is carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Betterments, major renewals and certain costs directly related to the improvement and leasing of real estate are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. For redevelopment of existing operating properties, the net book value of the existing property under redevelopment plus the cost for the construction and improvements incurred in connection with the redevelopment are capitalized to the extent the capitalized costs of the property do not exceed the estimated fair value of the redeveloped property when complete. If the cost of the redeveloped property, including the net book value of the existing property, exceeds the estimated fair value of redeveloped property, the excess is charged to expense. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives which range from 7 to 40 years. Tenant allowances are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the related leases, which approximate the useful lives of the assets. Upon the acquisition of real estate that meets the criteria of a business under ASU 2017-01, we assess the fair value of acquired assets (including land, buildings and improvements, identified intangibles, such as acquired above and below-market leases, acquired in-place leases and tenant relationships) and acquired liabilities and we allocate the purchase price based on these assessments. We assess fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions. We record acquired intangible assets (including acquired above-market leases, acquired in- place leases and tenant relationships) and acquired intangible liabilities (including below–market leases) at their estimated fair value separate and apart from goodwill. We amortize identified intangibles that have finite lives over the period they are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of the property or business acquired. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the carrying amounts of real estate, net of accumulated depreciation, were $14.8 billion and $14.7 billion, respectively. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the carrying amounts of identified intangible assets (including acquired above-market leases, tenant relationships and acquired in-place leases) were $192,731,000 and $227,901,000, respectively, and the carrying amounts of identified intangible liabilities, a component of “deferred revenue” on our consolidated balance sheets, were $263,786,000 and $318,148,000, respectively. Our properties, including any related intangible assets, are individually reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the aggregate projected future cash flows over the anticipated holding period on an undiscounted basis. An impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the property’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Impairment analyses are based on our current plans, intended holding periods and available market information at the time the analyses are prepared. If our estimates of the projected future cash flows, anticipated holding periods, or market conditions change, our evaluation of impairment losses may be different and such differences could be material to our consolidated financial statements. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is subjective and is based, in part, on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results. Plans to hold properties over longer periods decrease the likelihood of recording impairment losses. 51 Critical Accounting Policies – continued Partially Owned Entities We consolidate entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. In determining whether we have a controlling financial interest in a partially owned entity and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, we consider factors such as ownership interest, board representation, management representation, authority to make decisions, and contractual and substantive participating rights of the partners/members as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and whether we are the primary beneficiary. We are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE when we have (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We generally do not control a partially owned entity if the entity is not considered a VIE and the approval of all of the partners/members is contractually required with respect to major decisions, such as operating and capital budgets, the sale, exchange or other disposition of real property, the hiring of a chief executive officer, the commencement, compromise or settlement of any lawsuit, legal proceeding or arbitration or the placement of new or additional financing secured by assets of the venture. We account for investments under the equity method when the requirements for consolidation are not met, and we have significant influence over the operations of the investee. Equity method investments are initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for our share of net income or loss and cash contributions and distributions each period. Investments that do not qualify for consolidation or equity method accounting are accounted for on the cost method. Investments in partially owned entities are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the carrying amount of an investment over its estimated fair value. Impairment analyses are based on current plans, intended holding periods and available information at the time the analyses are prepared. The ultimate realization of our investments in partially owned entities is dependent on a number of factors, including the performance of each investment and market conditions. If our estimates of the projected future cash flows, the nature of development activities for properties for which such activities are planned and the estimated fair value of the investment change based on market conditions or otherwise, our evaluation of impairment losses may be different and such differences could be material to our consolidated financial statements. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is subjective and is based, in part, on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the carrying amounts of investments in partially owned entities were $1.4 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts We periodically evaluate the collectability of amounts due from tenants and maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts ($10,920,000 and $11,908,000 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively) for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make required payments under the lease agreements. We also maintain an allowance for receivables arising from the straight-lining of rents ($2,227,000 and $2,751,000 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively). This receivable arises from earnings recognized in excess of amounts currently due under the lease agreements. Management exercises judgment in establishing these allowances and considers payment history and current credit status in developing these estimates. These estimates may differ from actual results, which could be material to our consolidated financial statements. 52 Critical Accounting Policies – continued Revenue Recognition We have the following revenue sources and revenue recognition policies: • Base Rent — income arising from tenant leases. These rents are recognized over the non-cancelable term of the related leases on a straight-line basis which includes the effects of rent steps and rent abatements under the leases. We commence rental revenue recognition when the tenant takes possession of the leased space and the leased space is substantially ready for its intended use. In addition, in circumstances where we provide a tenant improvement allowance for improvements that are owned by the tenant, we recognize the allowance as a reduction of rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. • Percentage Rent — income arising from retail tenant leases that is contingent upon tenant sales exceeding defined thresholds. These rents are recognized only after the contingency has been removed (i.e., when tenant sales thresholds have been achieved). • Hotel Revenue — income arising from the operation of the Hotel Pennsylvania which consists of rooms revenue, food and beverage revenue, and banquet revenue. Income is recognized when rooms are occupied. Food and beverage and banquet revenue are recognized when the services have been rendered. • Trade Shows Revenue — income arising from the operation of trade shows, including rentals of booths. This revenue is recognized when the trade shows have occurred. • Expense Reimbursements — revenue arising from tenant leases which provide for the recovery of all or a portion of the operating expenses and real estate taxes of the respective property. This revenue is recognized in the same periods as the expenses are incurred. • Management, Leasing and Other Fees — income arising from contractual agreements with third parties or with partially owned entities. This revenue is recognized as the related services are performed under the respective agreements. Before we recognize revenue, we assess, among other things, its collectability. If our assessment of the collectability of revenue changes, the impact on our consolidated financial statements could be material. Income Taxes Vornado operates in a manner intended to enable it to continue to qualify as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Under those sections, a REIT which distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income as a dividend to its shareholders each year and which meets certain other conditions will not be taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders. Vornado distributes to its shareholders 100% of its taxable income and therefore, no provision for Federal income taxes is required. If Vornado fails to distribute the required amount of income to its shareholders, or fails to meet other REIT requirements, it may fail to qualify as a REIT which may result in substantial adverse tax consequences.

We consider EBITDA a non-GAAP financial measure for making decisions and assessing the unlevered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on a multiple of EBITDA, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. Our 7.5% interest in Fashion Centre Mall/Washington Tower will not be included in the spin-off of our Washington, DC segment and have been reclassified to Other. The prior year's presentation has been conformed to the current year.

(2) Primarily from the disposition of 1750 Pennsylvania Avenue and higher vacancies at the Skyline properties. On December 21, 2016, the disposition of the Skyline properties was completed by the receiver. (3) Average occupancy and revenue per available room were 84.7% and $113.84, respectively, for 2016 as compared to 90.7% and $133.69, respectively, for 2015.

On December 21, 2016, the disposition of the Skyline properties was completed by the receiver. (2) Primarily due to the demolition of two adjacent office properties, 1726 M Street and 1150 17th Street. (3) This increase in expense is entirely offset by a corresponding decrease in income from the mark-to-market of the deferred compensation plan assets, a component of “interest and other investment income, net” on our consolidated statements of income. (4) Results primarily from the acceleration of the recognition of compensation expense in 2015 of $4,542 related to 2012-2014 Out-Performance Plans due to the modification of the vesting criteria of awards such that they fully vest at age 65. (5) On March 15, 2016, we notified the servicer of the $678,000 non-recourse mortgage loan on the Skyline properties in Virginia that cash flow will be insufficient to service the debt and pay other property related costs and expenses and that we were not willing to fund additional cash shortfalls. Accordingly, at our request, the loan was transferred to the special servicer. Consequently, based on the shortened holding period for the underlying assets, we concluded that the excess of carrying amount over our estimate of fair value was not recoverable and recognized a $160,700 non-cash impairment loss in the first quarter of 2016. 59 Results of Operations – Year Ended December 31, 2016 Compared to December 31, 2015 - continued (Loss) Income from Real Estate Fund Investments Below are the components of the (loss) income from our real estate fund investments for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

In 2016 and 2015, we recognized net losses of $47,000 and $39,600, respectively, from our 666 Fifth Avenue (Office) joint venture as a result of our share of depreciation expense. In addition, in 2015 we recognized our $12,800 share of a write-off of a below- market lease liability related to a tenant vacating at 650 Madison Avenue.

This increase resulted primarily from an increase in the value of investments in our deferred compensation plan (offset by a corresponding decrease in the liability for plan assets in general and administrative expenses). Interest and Debt Expense Interest and debt expense was $402,674,000 in the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to $378,025,000 in the prior year, an increase of $24,649,000. This increase was primarily due to (i) $23,205,000 of higher interest expense from the full year effect of 2015 financings of the St. Regis Retail, 150 West 34th Street, 100 West 33rd Street, and from the $375,000,000 drawn on our $750,000,000 delayed draw term loan, (ii) $10,208,000 of lower capitalized interest, and (iii) $7,823,000 of default interest on our Skyline properties mortgage loan, partially offset by (iv) $13,127,000 of interest savings from the re-financings of 888 7th Avenue and 770 Broadway and (v) $4,177,000 of interest savings from the repayment of the Bowen Building loan. Net Gain on Extinguishment of Skyline Properties Debt In the year ended December 31, 2016, upon the final disposition of the Skyline properties, all assets (approximately $236,535,000) and liabilities (approximately $724,412,000), were removed from our consolidated balance sheet which resulted in a net gain of $487,877,000. Net Gain on Disposition of Wholly Owned and Partially Owned Assets The net gain of $175,735,000 in the year ended December 31, 2016, consists primarily of a $159,511,000 net gain on sale of our 47% ownership interest in 7 West 34th Street and a $15,302,000 net gain on sale of our 20% ownership interest in Fairfax Square. The net gain of $251,821,000 in the prior year, consists of a $142,693,000 net gain on sale of 20 Broad Street, a $102,404,000 net gain on sale of 1750 Pennsylvania Avenue and $6,724,000 from the sale of residential condominiums. Income Tax (Expense) Benefit In the year ended December 31, 2016, we had an income tax expense of $8,312,000, compared to a benefit of $84,695,000 in the prior year, an increase in expense of $93,007,000. This increase in expense resulted primarily from the prior year reversal of $90,030,000 of valuation allowances against certain of our deferred tax assets, as we concluded that it was more-likely-than-not that we will generate sufficient taxable income from the sale of 220 Central Park South residential condominium units to realize the deferred tax assets. Income from Discontinued Operations We have reclassified the revenues and expenses of our strip shopping center and mall business which was spun off to UE on January 15, 2015 and other related retail assets that were sold or are currently held for sale to “income from discontinued operations” and the related assets and liabilities to “assets related to discontinued operations” and “liabilities related to discontinued operations” for all the periods presented in the accompanying financial statements.

This decrease resulted primarily from lower net income allocated to the noncontrolling interests of our real estate fund investments. Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests in the Operating Partnership (Vornado Realty Trust) Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership was $53,654,000 in the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to $43,231,000 in the prior year, an increase of $10,423,000. This increase resulted primarily from higher net income subject to allocation to unitholders. Preferred Share Dividends of Vornado Realty Trust Preferred share dividends were $75,903,000 in the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to $80,578,000 in the prior year, a decrease of $4,675,000. This decrease resulted primarily from the redemption of the 6.875% Series J cumulative redeemable preferred shares on September 1, 2016. Preferred Unit Distributions of Vornado Realty L.P. Preferred unit distributions were $76,097,000 in the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to $80,736,000 in the prior year, a decrease of $4,639,000. This decrease resulted primarily from the redemption of the 6.875% Series J cumulative redeemable preferred units on September 1, 2016. Preferred Share Issuance Costs In the year ended December 31, 2016, we recognized a $7,408,000 expense in connection with the write-off of issuance costs upon redeeming all of the outstanding 6.875% Series J cumulative redeemable preferred shares on September 1, 2016. 62 Results of Operations – Year Ended December 31, 2016 Compared to December 31, 2015 - continued Same Store EBITDA Same store EBITDA represents EBITDA from property level operations which are owned by us in both the current and prior year reporting periods. Same store EBITDA excludes segment-level overhead expenses, which are expenses that we do not consider to be property-level expenses, as well as other non-operating items. We also present same store EBITDA on a cash basis (which excludes income from the straight-lining of rents, amortization of acquired below-market leases, net of above-market leases and other non-cash adjustments). We present these non-GAAP financial measures to (i) facilitate meaningful comparisons of the operational performance of our properties and segments, (ii) make decisions on whether to buy, sell or refinance properties, and (iii) compare the performance of our properties and segments to those of our peers. Same store EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. Below is the reconciliation of EBITDA to same store EBITDA for each of our segments for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to the year ended December 31, 2015.

This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in the value of investments in our deferred compensation plan (offset by a corresponding increase in the liability for plan assets in general and administrative expenses). Interest and Debt Expense Interest and debt expense was $378,025,000 in the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $412,755,000 in the year ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $34,730,000. This decrease was primarily due to (i) $26,652,000 of interest savings from the redemption of the $445,000,000 principal amount of the outstanding 7.875% senior unsecured notes during the fourth quarter of 2014, (ii) $21,375,000 of interest savings from the redemption of the $500,000,000 principal amount of the outstanding 4.25% senior unsecured notes on January 1, 2015, partially offset by (iii) $5,297,000 of interest expense from the issuance of $450,000,000 of 2.50% senior unsecured notes in June 2014, (iv) $5,182,000 of interest expense from the current year’s financings of 150 West 34th Street and the Center Building, and (v) $3,481,000 of lower capitalized interest.

This decrease in expense resulted primarily from the reversal of the valuation allowances against certain of our deferred tax assets, as we concluded that it was more-likely than not that we will generate sufficient taxable income from the sale of 220 Central Park South residential condominium units to realize the deferred tax assets. 68 Results of Operations – Year Ended December 31, 2015 Compared to December 31, 2014 - continued Income from Discontinued Operations The table below sets forth the combined results of operations of assets related to discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

We consider EBITDA a non-GAAP financial measure for making decisions and assessing the unlevered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on a multiple of EBITDA, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. Our 7.5% interest in Fashion Centre Mall/Washington Tower will not be included in the spin-off of our Washington, DC segment and have been reclassified to Other. The prior year's presentation has been conformed to the current year.

We also present same store EBITDA on a cash basis (which excludes income from the straight-lining of rents, amortization of acquired below-market leases, net of above-market leases and other non-cash adjustments).

We own 32.4% of Alexander’s. Steven Roth, the Chairman of Vornado’s Board of Trustees and its Chief Executive Officer is also the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Alexander’s. We provide various services to Alexander’s in accordance with management, development and leasing agreements. These agreements are described in Note 5 - Investments in Partially Owned Entities to our consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Urban Edge Properties We own 5.4% of UE. During 2015, we provided transition services to UE, primarily for information technology, human resources, tax and financial planning. In 2016, we continue to provide UE transition services for information technology and human resources. UE is providing us with leasing, development and property management services for certain of our retail properties including the retail assets of Alexander’s. Fees to UE for servicing the retail assets of Alexander’s are similar to the fees that we are receiving from Alexander’s as described in Note 5 - Investments in Partially Owned Entities to our consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Interstate Properties (“Interstate”) Interstate is a general partnership in which Mr. Roth is the managing general partner. David Mandelbaum and Russell B. Wight, Jr., Trustees of Vornado and Directors of Alexander’s, are Interstate’s two other general partners. As of December 31, 2016, Interstate and its partners beneficially owned an aggregate of approximately 7.1% of the common shares of beneficial interest of Vornado and 26.3% of Alexander’s common stock. We manage and lease the real estate assets of Interstate pursuant to a management agreement for which we receive an annual fee equal to 4% of annual base rent and percentage rent. The management agreement has a term of one year and is automatically renewable unless terminated by either of the parties on 60 days’ notice at the end of the term. We believe, based upon comparable fees charged by other real estate companies, that the management agreement terms are fair to us. We earned $521,000, $541,000, and $535,000 of management fees under the agreement for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. 80 Liquidity and Capital Resources Property rental income is our primary source of cash flow and is dependent upon the occupancy and rental rates of our properties. Our cash requirements include property operating expenses, capital improvements, tenant improvements, debt service, leasing commissions, dividends to shareholders and distributions to unitholders of the Operating Partnership, as well as acquisition and development costs. Other sources of liquidity to fund cash requirements include proceeds from debt financings, including mortgage loans, senior unsecured borrowings, unsecured term loan and unsecured revolving credit facilities; proceeds from the issuance of common and preferred equity securities; and asset sales. We anticipate that cash flow from continuing operations over the next twelve months will be adequate to fund our business operations, cash distributions to unitholders of the Operating Partnership, cash dividends to shareholders, debt amortization and recurring capital expenditures. Capital requirements for development expenditures and acquisitions may require funding from borrowings and/or equity offerings. We may from time to time purchase or retire outstanding preferred shares and debt securities. Such purchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements and other factors. The amounts involved in connection with these transactions could be material to our consolidated financial statements. Dividends On January 18, 2017, Vornado declared a quarterly common dividend of $0.71 per share (an indicated annual rate of $2.84 per common share). This dividend, if continued for all of 2017, would require Vornado to pay out approximately $537,000,000 of cash for common share dividends. In addition, during 2017, Vornado expects to pay approximately $65,000,000 of cash dividends on outstanding preferred shares and approximately $35,000,000 of cash distributions to unitholders of the Operating Partnership. 81 Liquidity and Capital Resources – continued Financing Activities and Contractual Obligations We have an effective shelf registration for the offering of our equity and debt securities that is not limited in amount due to our status as a “well-known seasoned issuer.” We have issued senior unsecured notes from a shelf registration statement that contain financial covenants that restrict our ability to incur debt, and that require us to maintain a level of unencumbered assets based on the level of our secured debt. Our unsecured revolving credit facilities contain financial covenants that require us to maintain minimum interest coverage and maximum debt to market capitalization ratios, and provide for higher interest rates in the event of a decline in our ratings below Baa3/BBB. Our unsecured revolving credit facilities also contain customary conditions precedent to borrowing, including representations and warranties, and contain customary events of default that could give rise to accelerated repayment, including such items as failure to pay interest or principal. As of December 31, 2016, we are in compliance with all of the financial covenants required by our senior unsecured notes and our unsecured revolving credit facilities. As of December 31, 2016, we had $1,501,027,000 of cash and cash equivalents and $2,364,523,000 of borrowing capacity under our unsecured revolving credit facilities, net of outstanding borrowings and letters of credit of $115,630,000 and $19,847,000, respectively.

Details of 2015 financing activities are discussed below. Secured Debt On April 1, 2015, we completed a $308,000,000 refinancing of RiverHouse Apartments, a three building, 1,670 unit rental complex located in Arlington, VA. The loan is interest only at LIBOR plus 1.28% and matures in 2025. We realized net proceeds of approximately $43,000,000. The property was previously encumbered by a 5.43%, $195,000,000 mortgage which was scheduled to mature in April 2015 and a $64,000,000 mortgage at LIBOR plus 1.53% which was scheduled to mature in 2018. On June 2, 2015, we completed a $205,000,000 financing in connection with the acquisition of 150 West 34th Street. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.25% and matures in 2018 with two one-year extension options. On July 28, 2015, we completed a $580,000,000 refinancing of 100 West 33rd Street, a 1.1 million square foot property comprised of 855,000 square feet of office space and the 256,000 square foot Manhattan Mall. The loan is interest only at LIBOR plus 1.65% and matures in July 2020. We realized net proceeds of approximately $242,000,000. On September 22, 2015, we upsized the loan on our 220 Central Park South development by $350,000,000 to $950,000,000. The interest rate on the loan is LIBOR plus 2.00% and the final maturity date is 2020. In connection with the upsizing, the standby commitment for a $500,000,000 mezzanine loan for this development has been terminated by payment of a $15,000,000 contractual termination fee, which was capitalized as a component of “development costs and construction in progress” on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. On December 11, 2015, we completed a $375,000,000 refinancing of 888 Seventh Avenue, a 882,000 square foot Manhattan office building. The five-year loan is interest only at LIBOR plus 1.60% which was swapped for the term of the loan to a fixed rate of 3.15% and matures in December 2020. We realized net proceeds of approximately $49,000,000. On December 21, 2015, we completed a $450,000,000 financing of the retail condominium of the St. Regis Hotel and the adjacent retail town house located on Fifth Avenue at 55th Street. The loan matures in December 2020, with two one-year extension options. The loan is interest only at LIBOR plus 1.80% for the first three years, LIBOR plus 1.90% for years four and five, and LIBOR plus 2.00% during the extension periods. We own a 74.3% controlling interest in the joint venture which owns the property. Senior Unsecured Notes On January 1, 2015, we redeemed all of the $500,000,000 principal amount of our outstanding 4.25% senior unsecured notes, which were scheduled to mature on April 1, 2015, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest through December 31, 2014. Unsecured Term Loan On October 30, 2015, we entered into an unsecured delayed-draw term loan facility in the maximum amount of $750,000,000. The facility matures in October 2018 with two one-year extension options. The interest rate is LIBOR plus 1.15% with a fee of 0.20% per annum on the unused portion. At closing, we drew $187,500,000. The facility provides that the maximum amount available is twice the amount outstanding on April 29, 2016, limited to $750,000,000, and all draws must be made by October 2017. This facility, together with the $950,000,000 development loan mentioned above, provides the funding for our 220 Central Park South development. 83 Liquidity and Capital Resources – continued Financing Activities and Contractual Obligations – continued Acquisitions and Investments On January 20, 2015, we co-invested with the Vornado Capital Partners Real Estate Fund (“Fund”) and one of the Fund’s limited partners to buy out the Fund’s joint venture partner’s 57.1% interest in the Crowne Plaza Times Square Hotel. The purchase price for the 57.1% interest was approximately $95,000,000 (our share $39,000,000) which valued the property at approximately $480,000,000. The property is encumbered by a $310,000,000 mortgage loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.80% and maturing in December 2018 with a one-year extension option. Our aggregate ownership interest in the property increased to 33% from 11%. On March 18, 2015, we acquired the Center Building, a 437,000 square foot office building, located at 33-00 Northern Boulevard in Long Island City, New York, for $142,000,000, including the assumption of an existing $62,000,000, 4.43% mortgage maturing in October 2018. On June 2, 2015, we completed the acquisition of 150 West 34th Street, a 78,000 square foot retail property leased to Old Navy through May 2019, and 226,000 square feet of additional zoning air rights, for approximately $355,000,000. At closing we completed a $205,000,000 financing of the property. On June 24, 2015, we entered into a joint venture, in which we own a 55% interest, to develop a 173,000 square foot Class-A office building, located along the western edge of the High Line at 512 West 22nd Street. The development cost of this project is approximately $235,000,000. The development commenced during the fourth quarter of 2015 and is expected to be completed in 2018. We account for our investment in the joint venture under the equity method. On July 31, 2015, we acquired 260 Eleventh Avenue, a 235,000 square foot office property leased to the City of New York through 2021 with two five-year renewal options, a 10,000 square foot parking lot and additional air rights. The transaction is structured as a 99-year ground lease with an option to purchase the land for $110,000,000. The $3,900,000 annual ground rent and the purchase option price escalate annually at the lesser of 1.5% or CPI. The buildings were purchased for 813,900 newly issued Operating Partnership units valued at approximately $80,000,000. On September 25, 2015, we acquired 265 West 34th Street, a 1,700 square foot retail property and 15,200 square feet of additional zoning air rights, for approximately $28,500,000.

The incremental development cost of this project is estimated to be approximately $1.3 billion, of which $609,420,000 has been expended as of December 31, 2016. We are developing a 173,000 square foot Class-A office building at 512 West 22nd Street, along the western edge of the High Line in the West Chelsea submarket of Manhattan (55.0% owned). The incremental development cost of this project is estimated to be approximately $130,000,000, of which our share is $72,000,000. As of December 31, 2016, $30,143,000 has been expended, of which our share is $16,579,000. We are developing a 170,000 square foot office and retail building at 61 Ninth Avenue, located on the southwest corner of Ninth Avenue and 15th Street in the West Chelsea submarket of Manhattan. In February 2016, the venture purchased an adjacent five story loft building and air rights in exchange for a 10% common and preferred equity interest in the venture valued at $19,400,000, which reduced our ownership interest to 45.1% from 50.1%. On December 21, 2016, the venture obtained a $90,000,000 construction loan. The loan matures in December 2020 with two six-month extension options. The interest rate is LIBOR plus 3.05%. As of December 31, 2016, there was nothing drawn on this loan. The incremental development cost of this project is estimated to be approximately $150,000,000, of which our share is $68,000,000. As of December 31, 2016, $38,499,000 has been expended, of which our share is $17,363,000. We are developing a 34,000 square foot office and retail building at 606 Broadway, located on the northeast corner of Broadway and Houston Street in Manhattan (50.0% owned). At closing, the joint venture obtained a $65,000,000 construction loan, of which approximately $25,800,000 was outstanding as of December 31, 2016. The loan, which bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.00% (3.66% at December 31, 2016), matures in May 2019 with two one-year extension options. The venture’s incremental development cost of this project is estimated to be approximately $60,000,000, of which our share is $30,000,000. As of December 31, 2016, $20,833,000 has been expended, of which our share is $10,417,000. We are in the process of demolishing two adjacent Washington, DC office properties, 1726 M Street and 1150 17th Street, and will replace them in the future with a new 335,000 square foot Class A office building, to be addressed 1700 M Street. The incremental development cost of the project is estimated to be approximately $170,000,000, of which $10,500,000 has been expended as of December 31, 2016. In September 2016, a joint venture between the Related Companies and Vornado was designated by New York State to redevelop the historic Farley Post Office building. The building will include a new Moynihan Train Hall and approximately 850,000 rentable square feet of office space and ancillary train hall retail. The joint venture will enter into a 99-year, triple-net lease and make a $230,000,000 contribution towards the construction of the train hall. Total costs for the redevelopment of the office and retail space are yet to be determined. We are also evaluating other development and redevelopment opportunities at certain of our properties in Manhattan, including, in particular, the Penn Plaza District. There can be no assurance that any of our development or redevelopment projects will commence, or if commenced, be completed, or completed on schedule or within budget. 85 Liquidity and Capital Resources – continued Insurance We maintain general liability insurance with limits of $300,000,000 per occurrence and per property, and all risk property and rental value insurance with limits of $2.0 billion per occurrence, with sub-limits for certain perils such as flood and earthquake. Our California properties have earthquake insurance with coverage of $180,000,000 per occurrence and in the annual aggregate, subject to a deductible in the amount of 5% of the value of the affected property. We maintain coverage for terrorism acts with limits of $4.0 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate, and $2.0 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate for terrorism involving nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological (“NBCR”) terrorism events, as defined by Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015, which expires in December 2020. Penn Plaza Insurance Company, LLC (“PPIC”), our wholly owned consolidated subsidiary, acts as a re-insurer with respect to a portion of all risk property and rental value insurance and a portion of our earthquake insurance coverage, and as a direct insurer for coverage for acts of terrorism including NBCR acts. Coverage for acts of terrorism (excluding NBCR acts) is fully reinsured by third party insurance companies and the Federal government with no exposure to PPIC. For NBCR acts, PPIC is responsible for a deductible of $1,622,000 ($1,976,000 for 2017) and 16% (17% for 2017) of the balance of a covered loss and the Federal government is responsible for the remaining portion of a covered loss. We are ultimately responsible for any loss incurred by PPIC. We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism. However, we cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in the future. Our debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by our properties which are non-recourse to us, senior unsecured notes and revolving credit agreements contain customary covenants requiring us to maintain insurance. Although we believe that we have adequate insurance coverage for purposes of these agreements, we may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable costs in the future. Further, if lenders insist on greater coverage than we are able to obtain it could adversely affect our ability to finance our properties and expand our portfolio. Other Commitments and Contingencies We are from time to time involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Each of our properties has been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment at various times. The environmental assessments did not reveal any material environmental contamination. However, there can be no assurance that the identification of new areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, the discovery of additional sites, or changes in cleanup requirements would not result in significant costs to us. Our mortgage loans are non-recourse to us. However, in certain cases we have provided guarantees or master leased tenant space. These guarantees and master leases terminate either upon the satisfaction of specified circumstances or repayment of the underlying loans. As of December 31, 2016, the aggregate dollar amount of these guarantees and master leases is approximately $737,000,000. As of December 31, 2016, $19,847,000 of letters of credit were outstanding under one of our unsecured revolving credit facilities. Our unsecured revolving credit facilities contain financial covenants that require us to maintain minimum interest coverage and maximum debt to market capitalization ratios, and provide for higher interest rates in the event of a decline in our ratings below Baa3/BBB. Our unsecured revolving credit facilities also contain customary conditions precedent to borrowing, including representations and warranties, and also contain customary events of default that could give rise to accelerated repayment, including such items as failure to pay interest or principal. As of December 31, 2016, we expect to fund additional capital to certain of our partially owned entities aggregating approximately $173,000,000, which includes our share of the commitments of the Farley Post Office redevelopment joint venture. As of December 31, 2016, we have construction commitments aggregating $653,940,000. 86 Liquidity and Capital Resources – continued Cash Flows for the Year Ended December 31, 2016 Our cash and cash equivalents were $1,501,027,000 at December 31, 2016, a $334,680,000 decrease from the balance at December 31, 2015.

NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude net gains from sales of depreciated real estate assets, real estate impairment losses, depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets and other specified non-cash items, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries. FFO and FFO per diluted share are non-GAAP financial measures used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a performance measure or cash flow as a liquidity measure. FFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. FFO attributable to common shareholders plus assumed conversions was $1,457,583,000, or $7.66 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to $1,039,035,000, or $5.48 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2015. FFO attributable to common shareholders plus assumed conversions was $797,734,000, or $4.20 per diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2016, compared to $259,528,000, or $1.37 per diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2015.

Fair Value of Debt The estimated fair value of our consolidated debt is calculated based on current market prices and discounted cash flows at the current rate at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings for the remaining term of such debt. As of December 31, 2016, the estimated fair value of our consolidated debt was $10,746,000,000. 94 ITEM 8.

An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vornado Realty Trust at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vornado Realty L.P. and consolidated subsidiaries at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Organization and Business Vornado Realty Trust (“Vornado”) is a fully-integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and conducts its business through, and substantially all of its interests in properties are held by, Vornado Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). Accordingly, Vornado’s cash flow and ability to pay dividends to its shareholders is dependent upon the cash flow of the Operating Partnership and the ability of its direct and indirect subsidiaries to first satisfy their obligations to creditors. Vornado is the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 93.7% of the common limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as of December 31, 2016. All references to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean collectively Vornado, the Operating Partnership and those entities/subsidiaries consolidated by Vornado. On October 31, 2016, Vornado’s Board of Trustees approved the tax-free spin-off of our Washington, DC segment and we entered into a definitive agreement to merge it with the business and certain select assets of The JBG Companies (“JBG”), a Washington, DC real estate company. Steven Roth, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Chief Executive Officer of Vornado, will be Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the new company, which will be named JBG SMITH Properties. Mitchell Schear, President of our Washington, DC business, will be a member of the Board of Trustees of the new company. The pro rata distribution to Vornado common shareholders and Class A Operating Partnership unitholders is intended to be treated as a tax-free spin-off for U.S. federal income tax purposes. It is expected to be made on a pro rata 1:2 basis. The initial Form 10 registration statement relating to the spin-off and merger was filed with the SEC on January 23, 2017 and the distribution and combination are expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2017. The distribution and combination are subject to certain conditions, including the SEC declaring the Form 10 registration statement effective, filing and approval of the new company’s listing application, receipt of regulatory approvals and third party consents by each of the Company and JBG, and formal declaration of the distribution by Vornado’s Board of Trustees.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vornado and the Operating Partnership and their consolidated subsidiaries. All inter-company amounts have been eliminated. Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Recently Issued Accounting Literature In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update ("ASU 2014-09") establishing Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). ASU 2014-09 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures. In August 2015, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2015-14”) to ASC 606, Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2017. In March 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-08”) to ASC 606, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations in the new revenue recognition standard pursuant to ASU 2014-09. In April 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-10”) to ASC 606, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which clarifies guidance related to identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance contained in ASU 2014-09. In May 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-12”) to ASC 606, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which amends certain aspects of the new revenue recognition standard pursuant to ASU 2014-09. We are permitted to use either the retrospective or the modified retrospective method when adopting these standards. We are evaluating the impact of the adoption of these standards on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet concluded on the method of adoption. In June 2014, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2014-12”) to ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASU 2014-12 requires an entity to treat performance targets that can be met after the requisite service period of a share based award has ended, as a performance condition that affects vesting. ASU 2014-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that began after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this update as of January 1, 2016, did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2015-02”) Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis to ASC Topic 810, Consolidation. ASU 2015-02 affects reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. Specifically, the amendments: (i) modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities ("VIEs") or voting interest entities, (ii) eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, (iii) affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, and (iv) provide a scope exception for certain entities. ASU 2015-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this update on January 1, 2016 resulted in the identification of additional VIEs, but did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements other than additional disclosures (see Note 11 - Variable Interest Entities). 115 VORNADO REALTY TRUST AND VORNADO REALTY L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies – continued Recently Issued Accounting Literature - continued In January 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-01”) Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities to ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-01 amends certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments, including the requirement to measure certain equity investments at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. ASU 2016-01 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-01 on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued (“ASU 2016-02”) Leases, which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase. Lessees are required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. Lessees will recognize expense based on the effective interest method for finance leases or on a straight-line basis for operating leases. ASU 2016-02 will more significantly impact the accounting for leases in which we are a lessee. We have a number of ground leases for which we will be required to record a right-of-use asset and lease liability upon adoption of this standard. ASU 2016-02 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements, including the timing of adopting this standard. In March 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-09”) Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting to ASC 718. ASU 2016-09 amends several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-09 on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-15”) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments to ASC Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows. ASU 2016-15 clarifies guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows to reduce diversity in practice with respect to (i) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (ii) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, (iii) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (iv) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, (v) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, (vi) distributions received from equity method investees, (vii) beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and (viii) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. ASU 2016-15 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-18”) Restricted Cash to ASC Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows. ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents will be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period balances on the statement of cash flows upon adoption of this standard. ASU 2016-18 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. In January 2017, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2017-01”) Clarifying the Definition of a Business to ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. ASU 2017-01 provides a screen to determine when an asset acquired or group of assets acquired is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This screen reduces the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated. ASU 2017-01 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. We have elected to early adopt this standard, effective as of October 1, 2016, for all future acquisitions. The adoption of this standard will result in less real estate acquisitions qualifying as businesses and, accordingly, acquisition costs for those acquisitions that are not businesses will be capitalized rather than expensed. There was no impact of the adoption of this standard in the fourth quarter of 2016, as there have been no acquisitions. 116 VORNADO REALTY TRUST AND VORNADO REALTY L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies - continued Significant Accounting Policies Real Estate: Real estate is carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Betterments, major renewals and certain costs directly related to the improvement and leasing of real estate are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. For redevelopment of existing operating properties, the net book value of the existing property under redevelopment plus the cost for the construction and improvements incurred in connection with the redevelopment are capitalized to the extent the capitalized costs of the property do not exceed the estimated fair value of the redeveloped property when complete. If the cost of the redeveloped property, including the net book value of the existing property, exceeds the estimated fair value of redeveloped property, the excess is charged to expense. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives which range from 7 to 40 years. Tenant allowances are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the related leases, which approximate the useful lives of the assets. Additions to real estate include interest and debt expense capitalized during construction of $34,097,000 and $59,305,000 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Upon the acquisition of real estate that meets the criteria of a business under ASU 2017-01, we assess the fair value of acquired assets (including land, buildings and improvements, identified intangibles, such as acquired above and below-market leases, acquired in-place leases and tenant relationships) and acquired liabilities and we allocate the purchase price based on these assessments. We assess fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions. We record acquired intangible assets (including acquired above-market leases, acquired in- place leases and tenant relationships) and acquired intangible liabilities (including below–market leases) at their estimated fair value separate and apart from goodwill. We amortize identified intangibles that have finite lives over the period they are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of the property or business acquired. Our properties, including any related intangible assets, are individually reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the aggregate projected future cash flows over the anticipated holding period on an undiscounted basis. An impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the property’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Impairment analyses are based on our current plans, intended holding periods and available market information at the time the analyses are prepared. If our estimates of the projected future cash flows, anticipated holding periods, or market conditions change, our evaluation of impairment losses may be different and such differences could be material to our consolidated financial statements. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is subjective and is based, in part, on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results. Plans to hold properties over longer periods decrease the likelihood of recording impairment losses. 117 VORNADO REALTY TRUST AND VORNADO REALTY L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies – continued Significant Accounting Policies – continued Partially Owned Entities: We consolidate entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. In determining whether we have a controlling financial interest in a partially owned entity and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, we consider factors such as ownership interest, board representation, management representation, authority to make decisions, and contractual and substantive participating rights of the partners/members as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and whether we are the primary beneficiary. We are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE when we have (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We generally do not control a partially owned entity if the entity is not considered a VIE and the approval of all of the partners/members is contractually required with respect to major decisions, such as operating and capital budgets, the sale, exchange or other disposition of real property, the hiring of a chief executive officer, the commencement, compromise or settlement of any lawsuit, legal proceeding or arbitration or the placement of new or additional financing secured by assets of the venture. We account for investments under the equity method when the requirements for consolidation are not met, and we have significant influence over the operations of the investee. Equity method investments are initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for our share of net income or loss and cash contributions and distributions each period. Investments that do not qualify for consolidation or equity method accounting are accounted for on the cost method. Investments in partially owned entities are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the carrying amount of an investment over its estimated fair value. Impairment analyses are based on current plans, intended holding periods and available information at the time the analyses are prepared. In the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, we recognized non-cash impairment losses on investments in partially owned entities aggregating $20,290,000, $21,260,000 and $85,459,000, respectively. Included in 2014 is a $75,196,000 impairment loss related to our investment in Toys. Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to their short-term maturities. The majority of our cash and cash equivalents consists of (i) deposits at major commercial banks, which may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit, (ii) United States Treasury Bills, and (iii) Certificate of Deposits placed through an Account Registry Service (“CDARS”). To date, we have not experienced any losses on our invested cash. Restricted Cash: Restricted cash consists of security deposits, cash restricted for the purposes of facilitating a Section 1031 Like-Kind exchange, cash restricted in connection with our deferred compensation plan and cash escrowed under loan agreements for debt service, real estate taxes, property insurance and capital improvements. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: We periodically evaluate the collectability of amounts due from tenants and maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make required payments under the lease agreements. We also maintain an allowance for receivables arising from the straight-lining of rents. These receivables arise from earnings recognized in excess of amounts currently due under the lease agreements. Management exercises judgment in establishing these allowances and considers payment history and current credit status in developing these estimates. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, we had $10,920,000 and $11,908,000, respectively, in allowances for doubtful accounts. In addition, as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, we had $2,227,000 and $2,751,000, respectively, in allowances for receivables arising from the straight-lining of rents. 118 VORNADO REALTY TRUST AND VORNADO REALTY L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies – continued Significant Accounting Policies – continued Deferred Charges: Direct financing costs are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related agreements as a component of interest expense. Direct costs related to successful leasing activities are capitalized and amortized on a straight line basis over the lives of the related leases. All other deferred charges are amortized on a straight line basis, which approximates the effective interest rate method, in accordance with the terms of the agreements to which they relate. Revenue Recognition: We have the following revenue sources and revenue recognition policies: • Base Rent — income arising from tenant leases. These rents are recognized over the non-cancelable term of the related leases on a straight-line basis which includes the effects of rent steps and rent abatements under the leases. We commence rental revenue recognition when the tenant takes possession of the leased space and the leased space is substantially ready for its intended use. In addition, in circumstances where we provide a tenant improvement allowance for improvements that are owned by the tenant, we recognize the allowance as a reduction of rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. • Percentage Rent — income arising from retail tenant leases that is contingent upon tenant sales exceeding defined thresholds. These rents are recognized only after the contingency has been removed (i.e., when tenant sales thresholds have been achieved). • Hotel Revenue — income arising from the operation of the Hotel Pennsylvania which consists of rooms revenue, food and beverage revenue, and banquet revenue. Income is recognized when rooms are occupied. Food and beverage and banquet revenue is recognized when the services have been rendered. • Trade Shows Revenue — income arising from the operation of trade shows, including rentals of booths. This revenue is recognized when the trade shows have occurred. • Expense Reimbursements — revenue arising from tenant leases which provide for the recovery of all or a portion of the operating expenses and real estate taxes of the respective property. This revenue is recognized in the same periods as the expenses are incurred. • Management, Leasing and Other Fees — income arising from contractual agreements with third parties or with partially owned entities. This revenue is recognized as the related services are performed under the respective agreements. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities: ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, our derivative instruments consisted of two and one interest rate swaps, respectively. We record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged item related to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive income (loss) (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings, and the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. We assess the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in fair value or cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in fair value or cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction. For derivatives not designated as hedges, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. 119 VORNADO REALTY TRUST AND VORNADO REALTY L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies – continued Significant Accounting Policies – continued Income Taxes: Vornado operates in a manner intended to enable it to continue to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Under those sections, a REIT which distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income as a dividend to its shareholders each year and which meets certain other conditions will not be taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders. Vornado distributes to its shareholders 100% of its taxable income and therefore, no provision for Federal income taxes is required. Dividends distributed for the year ended December 31, 2016, were characterized, for federal income tax purposes, as 83.5% ordinary income and 16.5% long-term capital gain. Dividends distributed for the year ended December 31, 2015, were characterized, for federal income tax purposes, as long-term capital gain income. Dividends distributed for the year ended December 31, 2014, were characterized, for federal income tax purposes, as ordinary income. The Operating Partnership’s partners are required to report their respective share of taxable income on their individual tax returns. We have elected to treat certain consolidated subsidiaries, and may in the future elect to treat newly formed subsidiaries, as taxable REIT subsidiaries pursuant to an amendment to the Internal Revenue Code that became effective January 1, 2001. Taxable REIT subsidiaries may participate in non-real estate related activities and/or perform non-customary services for tenants and are subject to Federal and State income tax at regular corporate tax rates. Our taxable REIT subsidiaries had a combined current income tax expense of approximately $7,946,000, $8,322,000 and $10,777,000 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and have immaterial differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, our taxable REIT subsidiaries had deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards of $98,013,000 and $97,104,000, respectively, which are included in “other assets” on our consolidated balance sheets. Prior to the quarter ended June 30, 2015, there was a full valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets because we had not determined that it is more-likely-than-not that we would use the net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income. In our quarter ended June 30, 2015, based upon residential condominium unit sales, among other factors, we concluded that it was more-likely-than-not that we will generate sufficient taxable income to realize these deferred tax assets. Accordingly, we reversed $90,030,000 of the allowance for deferred tax assets and recognized an income tax benefit in our consolidated statements of income. The following table reconciles net income attributable to Vornado common shareholders to estimated taxable income for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.

Real Estate Fund Investments We are the general partner and investment manager of Vornado Capital Partners Real Estate Fund (the “Fund”) and own a 25.0% interest in the Fund, which has an eight-year term and a three-year investment period that ended in July 2013. During the investment period, the Fund was our exclusive investment vehicle for all investments that fit within its investment parameters, as defined. The Fund is accounted for under ASC 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies (“ASC 946”) and its investments are reported on its balance sheet at fair value, with changes in value each period recognized in earnings. We consolidate the accounts of the Fund into our consolidated financial statements, retaining the fair value basis of accounting. We are also the general partner and investment manager of the Crowne Plaza Times Square Hotel Joint Venture (the “Crowne Plaza Joint Venture”) and own a 57.1% interest in the joint venture which owns the 24.7% interest in the Crowne Plaza Times Square Hotel not owned by the Fund. The Crowne Plaza Joint Venture is also accounted for under ASC 946 and we consolidate the accounts of the joint venture into our consolidated financial statements, retaining the fair value basis of accounting. At December 31, 2016, we had six real estate fund investments through the Fund and the Crowne Plaza Joint Venture with an aggregate fair value of $462,132,000, or $153,197,000 in excess of cost, and had remaining unfunded commitments of $117,907,000, of which our share was $34,422,000. At December 31, 2015, we had six real estate fund investments with an aggregate fair value of $574,761,000.

On March 25, 2015, the Fund completed the sale of 520 Broadway in Santa Monica, CA for $91,650,000. The Fund realized a $23,768,000 net gain over the holding period. On January 20, 2015, we co-invested with the Fund and one of the Fund’s limited partners to buy out the Fund’s joint venture partner’s 57.1% interest in the Crowne Plaza Times Square Hotel. The purchase price for the 57.1% interest was approximately $95,000,000 (our share $39,000,000) which valued the property at approximately $480,000,000. The property is encumbered by a $310,000,000 mortgage loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.80% and maturing in December 2018 with a one-year extension option. Our aggregate ownership interest in the property increased to 33% from 11%. On August 21, 2014, the Fund and its 50% joint venture partner completed the sale of The Shops at Georgetown Park, a 305,000 square foot retail property, for $272,500,000. From the inception of this investment through its disposition, the Fund realized a $51,124,000 net gain. On June 26, 2014, the Fund sold its 64.7% interest in One Park Avenue to a newly formed joint venture that we and an institutional investor own 55% and 45%, respectively. This transaction was based on a property value of $560,000,000. From the inception of this investment through its disposition, the Fund realized a $75,529,000 net gain. 121 VORNADO REALTY TRUST AND VORNADO REALTY L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 4. Marketable Securities Our portfolio of marketable securities is comprised of equity securities that are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are presented on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from the mark-to- market of these securities are included in “other comprehensive income (loss).” Realized gains and losses are recognized in earnings only upon the sale of the securities and are recorded based on the weighted average cost of such securities. We evaluate our portfolio of marketable securities for impairment each reporting period. For each of the securities in our portfolio with unrealized losses, we review the underlying cause of the decline in value and the estimated recovery period, as well as the severity and duration of the decline.

As of December 31, 2016, we own 1,654,068 Alexander’s common shares, or approximately 32.4% of Alexander’s common equity. We manage, develop and lease Alexander’s properties pursuant to agreements which expire in March of each year and are automatically renewable. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, Alexander’s owed us an aggregate of $1,070,000 and $8,551,000, respectively, pursuant to such agreements. As of December 31, 2016 the market value (“fair value” pursuant to ASC 820) of our investment in Alexander’s, based on Alexander’s December 31, 2016 closing share price of $426.87, was $706,072,000, or $576,748,000 in excess of the carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2016, the carrying amount of our investment in Alexander’s exceeds our share of the equity in the net assets of Alexander’s by approximately $39,723,000. The majority of this basis difference resulted from the excess of our purchase price for the Alexander’s common stock acquired over the book value of Alexander’s net assets. Substantially all of this basis difference was allocated, based on our estimates of the fair values of Alexander’s assets and liabilities, to real estate (land and buildings). We are amortizing the basis difference related to the buildings into earnings as additional depreciation expense over their estimated useful lives. This depreciation is not material to our share of equity in Alexander’s net income. The basis difference related to the land will be recognized upon disposition of our investment. Management, Development and Leasing Agreements We receive an annual fee for managing Alexander’s and all of its properties equal to the sum of (i) $2,800,000, (ii) 2% of the gross revenue from the Rego Park II Shopping Center, (iii) $0.50 per square foot of the tenant-occupied office and retail space at 731 Lexington Avenue, and (iv) $297,000, escalating at 3% per annum, for managing the common area of 731 Lexington Avenue.

We provide Alexander’s with leasing services for a fee of 3% of rent for the first ten years of a lease term, 2% of rent for the eleventh through twentieth year of a lease term and 1% of rent for the twenty-first through thirtieth year of a lease term, subject to the payment of rents by Alexander’s tenants. In the event third-party real estate brokers are used, our fee increases by 1% and we are responsible for the fees to the third-parties. We are also entitled to a commission upon the sale of any of Alexander’s assets equal to 3% of gross proceeds, as defined, for asset sales less than $50,000,000, and 1% of gross proceeds, as defined, for asset sales of $50,000,000 or more. On December 22, 2014, the leasing agreements with Alexander’s were amended to eliminate the annual installment cap of $4,000,000.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 8. Debt Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility On November 7, 2016, we extended one of our two $1.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facilities from June 2017 to February 2021 with two six-month extension options. The interest rate on the extended facility was lowered from LIBOR plus 115 basis points to LIBOR plus 100 basis points. The facility fee remains unchanged at 20 basis points. Secured Debt On February 8, 2016, we completed a $700,000,000 refinancing of 770 Broadway, a 1,158,000 square foot Manhattan office building. The five-year loan is interest only at LIBOR plus 1.75% (2.40% at December 31, 2016), which was swapped for four and a half years to a fixed rate of 2.56%. The Company realized net proceeds of approximately $330,000,000. The property was previously encumbered by a 5.65%, $353,000,000 mortgage which was scheduled to mature in March 2016. On September 6, 2016, we completed a $675,000,000 refinancing of theMART, a 3,652,000 square foot commercial building in Chicago. The five-year loan is interest only and has a fixed rate of 2.70%. The Company realized net proceeds of approximately $124,000,000. The property was previously encumbered by a 5.57%, $550,000,000 mortgage which was scheduled to mature in December 2016. On December 2, 2016, we completed a $400,000,000 refinancing of 350 Park Avenue, a 571,000 square foot Manhattan office building. The ten-year loan is interest only and has a fixed rate of 3.92%. The Company realized net proceeds of approximately $111,000,000. The property was previously encumbered by a 3.75%, $284,000,000 mortgage which was scheduled to mature in January 2017. On March 15, 2016, we notified the servicer of the $678,000,000 non-recourse mortgage loan on the Skyline properties located in Fairfax, Virginia, that cash flow will be insufficient to service the debt and pay other property related costs and expenses and that we were not willing to fund additional cash shortfalls. Accordingly, at our request, the loan was transferred to the special servicer. Consequently, based on the shortened holding period for the underlying assets, we concluded that the excess of carrying amount over our estimate of fair value was not recoverable and recognized a $160,700,000 non-cash impairment loss in the first quarter of 2016. The Company’s estimate of fair value was derived from a discounted cash flow model based upon market conditions and expectations of growth and utilized unobservable quantitative inputs including a capitalization rate of 8.0% and a discount rate of 8.2%. In the second quarter of 2016, cash flow became insufficient to service the debt and we ceased making debt service payments. Pursuant to the loan agreement, the loan was in default, and was subject to incremental default interest which increased the weighted average interest rate from 2.97% to 4.51% while the outstanding balance remains unpaid. For the year ended December 31, 2016, we recognized $7,823,000 of default interest expense. On August 24, 2016, the Skyline properties were placed in receivership. On December 21, 2016, the disposition of the Skyline properties was completed by the receiver. In connection therewith, the Skyline properties’ assets (approximately $236,535,000) and liabilities (approximately aggregating $724,412,000), were removed from our consolidated balance sheet which resulted in a net gain of $487,877,000. There was no taxable income related to this transaction. 132 VORNADO REALTY TRUST AND VORNADO REALTY L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 8.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 9. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests/Redeemable Partnership Units Redeemable noncontrolling interests on Vornado’s consolidated balance sheets and redeemable partnership units on the consolidated balance sheets of the Operating Partnership are primarily comprised of Class A Operating Partnership units held by third parties and are recorded at the greater of their carrying amount or redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the value from period to period are charged to “additional capital” in Vornado’s consolidated statements of changes in equity and to “partners’ capital” on the consolidated balance sheets of the Operating Partnership. Class A units may be tendered for redemption to the Operating Partnership for cash; Vornado, at its option, may assume that obligation and pay the holder either cash or Vornado common shares on a one-for-one basis. Because the number of Vornado common shares outstanding at all times equals the number of Class A units owned by Vornado, the redemption value of each Class A unit is equivalent to the market value of one Vornado common share, and the quarterly distribution to a Class A unitholder is equal to the quarterly dividend paid to a Vornado common shareholder.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests/Redeemable Partnership Units – continued Redeemable noncontrolling interests/redeemable partnership units exclude our Series G-1 through G-4 convertible preferred units and Series D-13 cumulative redeemable preferred units, as they are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities and Equity, because of their possible settlement by issuing a variable number of Vornado common shares. Accordingly, the fair value of these units is included as a component of “other liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets and aggregated $50,561,000 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Changes in the value from period to period, if any, are charged to “interest and debt expense” on our consolidated statements of income. 10. Shareholders’ Equity/Partners’ Capital Common Shares (Vornado Realty Trust) As of December 31, 2016, there were 189,100,876 common shares outstanding. During 2016, we paid an aggregate of $475,961,000 of common dividends comprised of quarterly common dividends of $0.63 per share. Class A Units (Vornado Realty L.P.) As of December 31, 2016, there were 189,100,876 Class A units outstanding that were held by Vornado. These units are classified as “partners’ capital” on the consolidated balance sheets of the Operating Partnership. As of December 31, 2016, there were 12,197,162 Class A units outstanding, that were held by third parties. These units are classified outside of “partners’ capital” as “redeemable partnership units” on the consolidated balance sheets of the Operating Partnership (See Note 9 – Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests/Redeemable Partnership Units). During 2016, the Operating Partnership paid an aggregate of $475,961,000 of distributions to Vornado comprised of quarterly common distributions of $0.63 per unit. Preferred Share/Preferred Units On September 1, 2016, we redeemed all of the outstanding 6.875% Series J cumulative redeemable preferred shares/units at their redemption price of $25.00 per share/unit, or $246,250,000 in the aggregate, plus accrued and unpaid dividends/distributions through the date of redemption. In connection therewith, we expensed $7,408,000 of issuance costs, which reduced net income attributable to common shareholders and net income attributable to Class A unitholders in the twelve months ended December 31, 2016. These costs had been initially recorded as a reduction of shareholders’ equity and partners’ capital.

Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) Unconsolidated VIEs Other (2,840) (4,701) (7,541) As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, we have several unconsolidated VIEs. We do not consolidate these entities because we are not the primary beneficiary and the nature of our involvement in the activities of these entities does not give us power over decisions that significantly affect these entities’ economic performance. We account for our investment in these entities under the equity method (see Note 5 – Investments in Partially Owned Entities). As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the net carrying amount of our investments in these entities was $392,150,000 and $414,003,000, respectively, and our maximum exposure to loss in these entities, is limited to our investments. Consolidated VIEs We adopted ASU 2015-02 on January 1, 2016 which resulted in the identification of several VIEs which, prior to the adoption of ASU 2015-02, were consolidated under the voting interest model. Vornado’s most significant consolidated VIEs are our Operating Partnership, real estate fund investments, and certain properties that have non-controlling interests. These entities are VIEs because the non-controlling interests do not have substantive kick-out or participating rights. We consolidate these entities because we control all significant business activities. As of December 31, 2016, the total assets and liabilities of our consolidated VIEs, excluding the Operating Partnership, are $3,638,483,000 and $1,762,322,000, respectively. 136 VORNADO REALTY TRUST AND VORNADO REALTY L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 12. Fair Value Measurements ASC 820 defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The objective of fair value is to determine the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 – observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 – unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret Level 2 and 3 inputs in determining the fair value of our financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Accordingly, our fair value estimates, which are made at the end of each reporting period, may be different than the amounts that may ultimately be realized upon sale or disposition of these assets. Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets consist of (i) marketable securities, (ii) real estate fund investments, (iii) the assets in our deferred compensation plan (for which there is a corresponding liability on our consolidated balance sheet), (iv) mandatorily redeemable instruments (Series G-1 through G-4 convertible preferred units and Series D-13 cumulative redeemable preferred units), and (v) interest rate swaps. The tables below aggregate the fair values of these financial assets and liabilities by their levels in the fair value hierarchy at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 12. Fair Value Measurements - continued Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis - continued Real Estate Fund Investments At December 31, 2016, we had six real estate fund investments with an aggregate fair value of $462,132,000, or $153,197,000 in excess of cost. These investments are classified as Level 3. We use a discounted cash flow valuation technique to estimate the fair value of each of these investments, which is updated quarterly by personnel responsible for the management of each investment and reviewed by senior management at each reporting period. The discounted cash flow valuation technique requires us to estimate cash flows for each investment over the anticipated holding period, which currently ranges from 1.0 to 4.0 years. Cash flows are derived from property rental revenue (base rents plus reimbursements) less operating expenses, real estate taxes and capital and other costs, plus projected sales proceeds in the year of exit. Property rental revenue is based on leases currently in place and our estimates for future leasing activity, which are based on current market rents for similar space plus a projected growth factor. Similarly, estimated operating expenses and real estate taxes are based on amounts incurred in the current period plus a projected growth factor for future periods. Anticipated sales proceeds at the end of an investment’s expected holding period are determined based on the net cash flow of the investment in the year of exit, divided by a terminal capitalization rate, less estimated selling costs. The fair value of each property is calculated by discounting the future cash flows (including the projected sales proceeds), using an appropriate discount rate and then reduced by the property’s outstanding debt, if any, to determine the fair value of the equity in each investment. Significant unobservable quantitative inputs used in determining the fair value of each investment include capitalization rates and discount rates. These rates are based on the location, type and nature of each property, and current and anticipated market conditions, industry publications and from the experience of our Acquisitions and Capital Markets departments. Significant unobservable quantitative inputs in the table below were utilized in determining the fair value of these real estate fund investments at December 31, 2016. Unobservable Quantitative Input Discount rates Terminal capitalization rates Range 10.0% to 14.9% 4.3% to 5.8% Weighted Average (based on fair value of investments) 12.6% 5.3% The above inputs are subject to change based on changes in economic and market conditions and/or changes in use or timing of exit. Changes in discount rates and terminal capitalization rates result in increases or decreases in the fair values of these investments. The discount rates encompass, among other things, uncertainties in the valuation models with respect to terminal capitalization rates and the amount and timing of cash flows. Therefore, a change in the fair value of these investments resulting from a change in the terminal capitalization rate, may be partially offset by a change in the discount rate. It is not possible for us to predict the effect of future economic or market conditions on our estimated fair values. The table below summarizes the changes in the fair value of real estate fund investments that are classified as Level 3, for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

The quarterly reports provide net asset values on a fair value basis which are audited by independent public accounting firms on an annual basis. The third- party administrator does not adjust these values in determining our share of the net assets and we do not adjust these values when reported in our consolidated financial statements.

Financial Assets and Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value Financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets include cash equivalents (primarily money market funds, which invest in obligations of the United States government), and our secured and unsecured debt. Estimates of the fair value of these instruments are determined by the standard practice of modeling the contractual cash flows required under the instrument and discounting them back to their present value at the appropriate current risk adjusted interest rate, which is provided by a third-party specialist. For floating rate debt, we use forward rates derived from observable market yield curves to project the expected cash flows we would be required to make under the instrument. The fair value of cash equivalents and borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facilities and unsecured term loan are classified as Level 1. The fair value of our secured debt and senior unsecured debt are classified as Level 2.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 13. Stock-based Compensation Vornado’s 2010 Omnibus Share Plan (the “Plan”) provides the Compensation Committee of Vornado’s Board of Trustees (the “Committee”) the ability to grant incentive and non-qualified Vornado stock options, restricted stock, restricted Operating Partnership units and out-performance plan awards to certain of our employees and officers. Under the Plan, awards may be granted up to a maximum of 6,000,000 Vornado shares, if all awards granted are Full Value Awards, as defined, and up to 12,000,000 Vornado shares, if all of the awards granted are Not Full Value Awards, as defined, plus shares in respect of awards forfeited after May 2010 that were issued pursuant to Vornado’s 2002 Omnibus Share Plan. Full Value Awards are awards of securities, such as Vornado restricted shares, that, if all vesting requirements are met, do not require the payment of an exercise price or strike price to acquire the securities. Not Full Value Awards are awards of securities, such as Vornado stock options, that do require the payment of an exercise price or strike price. This means, for example, if the Committee were to award only Vornado restricted shares, it could award up to 6,000,000 Vornado restricted shares. On the other hand, if the Committee were to award only Vornado stock options, it could award options to purchase up to 12,000,000 Vornado common shares (at the applicable exercise price). The Committee may also issue any combination of awards under the Plan, with reductions in availability of future awards made in accordance with the above limitations. As of December 31, 2016, Vornado has approximately 2,929,000 shares available for future grants under the Plan, if all awards granted are Full Value Awards, as defined. In the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, we recognized an aggregate of $33,980,000, $39,846,000 and $36,641,000, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense, which is included as a component of “general and administrative” expenses on our consolidated statements of income. The year ended December 31, 2015 includes $7,834,000 from the acceleration of the recognition of compensation expense related to 2013-2015 Out-Performance Plans due to the modification of the vesting criteria of awards such that they will fully vest at age 65. The details of the various components of our stock-based compensation are discussed on the following pages. 140 VORNADO REALTY TRUST AND VORNADO REALTY L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 13. Stock-based Compensation - continued Out-Performance Plans (“the OPPs”) OPPs are multi-year, performance-based equity compensation plans under which participants have the opportunity to earn a class of units (“OPP units”) of the Operating Partnership if, and only if, Vornado outperforms a predetermined total shareholder return (“TSR”) and/or outperform the market with respect to a relative TSR in any year during the requisite performance periods as described below. OPP units, if earned, become convertible into Class A units of the Operating Partnership (and ultimately into Vornado common shares) following vesting. Awards under the 2014 OPP have been 99.5% earned. Awards under the 2015 and 2016 OPP may be earned if Vornado (i) achieves a TSR level greater than 7% per annum, or 21% over the three-year performance measurement periods (the “Absolute Component”), and/or (ii) achieves a TSR above that of the SNL US REIT Index (“Index”) over the three-year performance measurement periods (the “Relative Component”). To the extent awards would be earned under the Absolute Component of each of the OPPs, but Vornado underperforms the Index, such awards would be reduced (and potentially fully negated) based on the degree to which Vornado underperforms the Index. In certain circumstances, in the event Vornado outperforms the Index but awards would not otherwise be fully earned under the Absolute Component, awards may still be earned or increased under the Relative Component. To the extent awards would otherwise be earned under the Relative Component but Vornado fails to achieve at least a 6% per annum absolute TSR, such awards earned under the Relative Component would be reduced based on Vornado’s absolute TSR, with no awards being earned in the event Vornado’s TSR during the applicable measurement period is 0% or negative, irrespective of the degree to which Vornado may outperform the Index. Dividends on awards issued and distributions on awards earned accrue during the performance period. If the designated performance objectives are achieved, OPP units are also subject to time-based vesting requirements. Awards earned under the OPPs vest 33.33% in each of years three, four and five. Vornado’s senior executive officers are required to hold earned 2016, 2015 and 2014 OPP awards (or related equity) for at least one year following vesting. Below is the summary of the OPP units granted during the years December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014.

If a participating subsidiary withdraws from a plan in which it participates, it may be subject to a withdrawal liability. As of December 31, 2016, our subsidiaries’ participation in these plans was not significant to our consolidated financial statements. In the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, our subsidiaries contributed $9,479,000, $10,878,000 and $11,431,000, respectively, towards Multiemployer Pension Plans, which is included as a component of “operating” expenses on our consolidated statements of income. Our subsidiaries’ contributions did not represent more than 5% of total employer contributions in any of these plans for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. Multiemployer Health Plans Multiemployer Health Plans in which our subsidiaries participate provide health benefits to eligible active and retired employees. In the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, our subsidiaries contributed $32,998,000, $29,269,000 and $29,073,000, respectively, towards these plans, which is included as a component of “operating” expenses on our consolidated statements of income. 20. Commitments and Contingencies Insurance We maintain general liability insurance with limits of $300,000,000 per occurrence and per property, and all risk property and rental value insurance with limits of $2.0 billion per occurrence, with sub-limits for certain perils such as flood and earthquake. Our California properties have earthquake insurance with coverage of $180,000,000 per occurrence and in the annual aggregate, subject to a deductible in the amount of 5% of the value of the affected property. We maintain coverage for terrorism acts with limits of $4.0 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate, and $2.0 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate for terrorism involving nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological (“NBCR”) terrorism events, as defined by Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015, which expires in December 2020. Penn Plaza Insurance Company, LLC (“PPIC”), our wholly owned consolidated subsidiary, acts as a re-insurer with respect to a portion of all risk property and rental value insurance and a portion of our earthquake insurance coverage, and as a direct insurer for coverage for acts of terrorism including NBCR acts. Coverage for acts of terrorism (excluding NBCR acts) is fully reinsured by third party insurance companies and the Federal government with no exposure to PPIC. For NBCR acts, PPIC is responsible for a deductible of $1,622,000 ($1,976,000 for 2017) and 16% (17% for 2017) of the balance of a covered loss and the Federal government is responsible for the remaining portion of a covered loss. We are ultimately responsible for any loss incurred by PPIC. We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism. However, we cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in the future. Our debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by our properties which are non-recourse to us, senior unsecured notes and revolving credit agreements contain customary covenants requiring us to maintain insurance. Although we believe that we have adequate insurance coverage for purposes of these agreements, we may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable costs in the future. Further, if lenders insist on greater coverage than we are able to obtain it could adversely affect our ability to finance our properties and expand our portfolio. 149 VORNADO REALTY TRUST AND VORNADO REALTY L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 20. Commitments and Contingencies - continued Other Commitments and Contingencies We are from time to time involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Each of our properties has been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment at various times. The environmental assessments did not reveal any material environmental contamination. However, there can be no assurance that the identification of new areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, the discovery of additional sites, or changes in cleanup requirements would not result in significant costs to us. Our mortgage loans are non-recourse to us. However, in certain cases we have provided guarantees or master leased tenant space. These guarantees and master leases terminate either upon the satisfaction of specified circumstances or repayment of the underlying loans. As of December 31, 2016, the aggregate dollar amount of these guarantees and master leases is approximately $737,000,000. As of December 31, 2016, $19,847,000 of letters of credit was outstanding under one of our unsecured revolving credit facilities. Our unsecured revolving credit facilities contain financial covenants that require us to maintain minimum interest coverage and maximum debt to market capitalization ratios, and provide for higher interest rates in the event of a decline in our ratings below Baa3/BBB. Our unsecured revolving credit facilities also contain customary conditions precedent to borrowing, including representations and warranties, and also contain customary events of default that could give rise to accelerated repayment, including such items as failure to pay interest or principal. As of December 31, 2016, we expect to fund additional capital to certain of our partially owned entities aggregating approximately $173,000,000, which includes our share of the commitments of the Farley Post Office redevelopment joint venture. As of December 31, 2016, we have construction commitments aggregating $653,940,000. 150 VORNADO REALTY TRUST AND VORNADO REALTY L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 21.

We provide various services to Alexander’s in accordance with management, development and leasing agreements. These agreements are described in Note 5 - Investments in Partially Owned Entities. Urban Edge Properties We own 5.4% of UE. During 2015, we provided transition services to UE, primarily for information technology, human resources, tax and financial planning. In 2016, we continue to provide UE transition services for information technology and human resources. UE is providing us with leasing, development and property management services for certain of our retail properties including the retail assets of Alexander’s. Fees to UE for servicing the retail assets of Alexander’s are similar to the fees that we are receiving from Alexander’s as described in Note 5 - Investments in Partially Owned Entities. Interstate Properties (“Interstate”) Interstate is a general partnership in which Mr. Roth is the managing general partner. David Mandelbaum and Russell B. Wight, Jr., Trustees of Vornado and Directors of Alexander’s, are Interstate’s two other general partners.

The management agreement has a term of one year and is automatically renewable unless terminated by either of the parties on 60 days’ notice at the end of the term. We believe, based upon comparable fees charged by other real estate companies, that the management agreement terms are fair to us. We earned $521,000, $541,000, and $535,000 of management fees under the agreement for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. 151 VORNADO REALTY TRUST AND VORNADO REALTY L.P.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 23. Segment Information – continued Notes to preceding tabular information: (1) We calculate EBITDA on an Operating Partnership basis which is before allocation to the noncontrolling interest of the Operating Partnership. We consider EBITDA a non-GAAP financial measure for making decisions and assessing the unlevered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on a multiple of EBITDA, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. Our 7.5% interest in Fashion Centre Mall/Washington Tower will not be included in the spin-off of our Washington, DC segment and have been reclassified to Other. The prior year's presentation has been conformed to the current year.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 24. Subsequent Events 2017 Out-Performance Plan On January 13, 2017, the Committee approved the 2017 Outperformance Plan, a multi-year, performance-based equity compensation plan (the “2017 OPP”). Awards under the 2017 OPP constitute awards under Vornado’s shareholder approved 2010 Omnibus Share Plan. Under the 2017 OPP, participants have the opportunity to earn compensation payable in the form of equity awards if, and only if, Vornado outperforms a predetermined total shareholder return (“TSR”) and/or outperform the market with respect to relative total TSR during a three-year performance period. Specifically, awards under our 2017 OPP may potentially be earned if Vornado (i) achieves a TSR level greater than 7% per annum, or 21% over the three-year performance period (the “Absolute Component”) and/or (ii) achieves a TSR above that of the SNL US REIT Index (the “Index”) over a three-year performance period (the “Relative Component”). To the extent awards would be earned under the Absolute Component but Vornado underperforms the Index, such awards earned under the Absolute Component would be reduced (and potentially fully negated) based on the degree to which Vornado underperforms the Index. In certain circumstances, in the event Vornado outperforms the Index but awards would not otherwise be earned under the Absolute Component, awards may still be earned under the Relative Component. Moreover, to the extent awards would otherwise be earned under the Relative Component but Vornado fails to achieve at least a 3% per annum absolute TSR level, such awards earned under the Relative Component would be reduced based on Vornado’s absolute TSR performance, with no awards being earned in the event Vornado’s TSR during the applicable measurement period is 0% or negative, irrespective of the degree to which it may outperform the Index. If the designated performance objectives are achieved, OPP Units are also subject to time-based vesting requirements; 33.33% in each of years three, four and five. Dividend payments on awards issued accrue during the performance period and are paid to participants if, and only if, awards are ultimately earned based on the achievement of the designated performance objectives. In addition, all of Vornado’s senior executive officers are required to hold any earned OPP awards (or related equity) for at least one year following vesting. 158 ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE None. ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Vornado Realty Trust Disclosure Controls and Procedures: Our management, with the participation of Vornado’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15 (e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on such evaluation, Vornado’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING Management of Vornado Realty Trust, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”), is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of Vornado’s principal executive and principal financial officers to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As of December 31, 2016, management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management has determined that our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016 was effective. Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; provide reasonable assurances that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our trustees; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report appearing on the following page, which expresses an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. 159 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM Shareholders and Board of Trustees Vornado Realty Trust New York, New York We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Vornado Realty Trust, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of trustees, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and trustees of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 of the Company and our report dated February 13, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial statement schedules. /s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP Parsippany, New Jersey February 13, 2017 160 ITEM 9A.
