Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies	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. In addition, certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period presentation. Recently Issued Accounting Literature In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 aims to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. The update also requires disclosure regarding the chief operating decision maker and expands the interim segment disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this update effective December 15, 2024. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not have a material impact on our disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 requires entities to disclose additional information with respect to the effective tax rate reconciliation and to disclose the disaggregation by jurisdiction of income tax expense and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on our consolidated financial statements. 2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies - continued Recently Issued Accounting Literature - continued In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date ("ASU 2025-01"). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement as well as disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of these standards on our consolidated financial statements. 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, including interest and debt expense, 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 the redeveloped property, the excess is charged to expense. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of these assets 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, we assess whether the transaction should be accounted for as an asset acquisition or as a business combination. Acquisitions of integrated sets of assets and activities that do not meet the definition of a business are accounted for as asset acquisitions. Our acquisitions of real estate generally will not meet the definition of a business because substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets (i.e. land, buildings, and related identified intangible assets). 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 which are on a relative fair value basis. 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 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 right-of-use ("ROU") assets and 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 information available at the time the analyses are prepared. Estimates of future cash flows are subjective and are based, in part, on assumptions regarding future rental revenues, operating expenses, capital expenditures, discount rates and capitalization rates which could differ materially from actual results. 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 (i) whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which we are the primary beneficiary or (ii) whether the entity is a voting interest entity in which we have a majority of the voting interests of the entity. 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 approval of all of the partners/members is contractually required with respect to decisions that most significantly impact the performance of the partially owned entity. This includes decisions regarding operating/capital budgets, and the placement of new or additional financing secured by the assets of the venture, among others. 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. Equity investments that do not qualify for consolidation or equity method accounting are recorded at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 321, Investments-Equity Securities ("ASC 321") or, if fair value is not readily determinable, are initially recognized at cost and subsequently remeasured if there is an orderly transaction in an identical or similar investment of the same issuer or if the investment is impaired. Investments in unconsolidated 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 recorded when there is a decline in the fair value of an investment below its carrying value and we conclude that the decline is other-than-temporary during our intended holding period. 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 information available at the time the analyses are prepared. Estimates of future cash flows are subjective and are based, in part, on assumptions regarding future rental revenues, operating expenses, capital expenditures, discount rates and capitalization rates which could differ materially from actual results. 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 and (ii) Certificate of Deposits placed through an Account Registry Service. Restricted Cash: Restricted cash consists of cash escrowed under loan agreements (including for debt service, real estate taxes, property insurance, leasing costs and capital improvements), security deposits, cash restricted for the purposes of facilitating a Section 1031 Like-Kind exchange and cash restricted in connection with our deferred compensation plan. Deferred Charges: Direct financing costs are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest rate method, over the terms of the related agreements as a component of interest expense. Direct and incremental costs related to successful leasing activities are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the related leases. 2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies - continued Significant Accounting Policies - continued Revenue Recognition: •Rental revenues include revenues from the leasing of space at our properties to tenants, trade shows, tenant services and parking garage revenues. •Revenues from the leasing of space at our properties to tenants include (i) lease components, including fixed and variable lease payments, and nonlease components which include reimbursement of common area maintenance expenses, and (ii) reimbursement of real estate taxes and insurance expenses. As lessor, we have elected to combine the lease and nonlease components of our operating lease agreements and account for the components as a single lease component in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). •Revenues from fixed lease payments for operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable term of the lease, together with renewal options that are reasonably certain of being exercised. We commence revenue recognition when the tenant takes possession of the leased space and the leased space is substantially ready for its intended use. •Revenues derived from the reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance expenses and common area maintenance expenses are variable, and are generally recognized in the same period as the related expenses are incurred. •We recognize amortization of acquired below-market leases as an increase to rental revenues and amortization of acquired above-market leases as a decrease to rental revenues over the term of the lease (see Note 7 - Identified Intangible Assets and Liabilities). •Revenues from the operation of trade shows at our properties, primarily derived from booth rentals, are recognized when the trade show booths are made available for use by the exhibitors, in accordance with ASC 842. •Revenues derived from sub-metered electric, service elevator, trash removal and other services provided to our tenants at their request are recognized as the services are transferred in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"). •Revenues derived from the operations of our parking facilities, which charge hourly or monthly fees to provide parking services to customers, are recognized as the services are transferred in accordance with ASC 606. •We classify revenues derived from management, leasing and other contractual agreements (including BMS cleaning, engineering and security services) with third parties or with partially owned entities as “fee and other income” and recognize revenue as the services are transferred in accordance with ASC 606. We evaluate on an individual lease basis whether it is probable that we will collect substantially all amounts due from our tenants and recognize changes in the collectability assessment of our operating leases as adjustments to rental revenue. Management exercises judgment in assessing collectability of tenant receivables and considers payment history, current credit status and publicly available information about the financial condition of the tenant, and other factors. Tenant receivables, including receivables arising from the straight-lining of rents, are written off when management deems that the collectability of substantially all future lease payments from a specific lease is not probable of collection, at which point, the Company will limit future rental revenues to cash received. 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 REIT taxable income and therefore, no provision for Federal income taxes is required. Dividends distributed for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were characterized, for federal income tax purposes, as ordinary income under Section 199A of the Internal Revenue Code. 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. The Farley Building and our 220 Central Park South (“220 CPS”) condominium project are held through taxable REIT subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, our taxable REIT subsidiaries had deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances, of $6,142,000 and $7,557,000, respectively, which are included in “other assets” on our consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, our taxable REIT subsidiaries had deferred tax liabilities of $84,877,000 and $74,721,000, respectively, which are included in "other liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets. The deferred tax assets relate to net operating loss carry forwards and temporary differences between the book and tax basis of our assets. The deferred tax liabilities relate to temporary differences between the book and tax basis of our assets. As of December 31, 2024, our taxable REIT subsidiaries have an estimated $181,000,000 of federal net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards and $246,000,000 of state and local NOL carryforwards, which are reduced by valuation allowances of $162,000,000 for federal NOL carryforwards and $246,000,000 for state and local NOL carryforwards. The NOL carryforwards are subject to certain limitations. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized $22,729,000 of income tax expense based on an effective tax rate of approximately 53.0%. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we recognized $29,222,000 and $21,660,000 of income tax expense, based on effective tax rates of approximately 47.0% and negative 6.0%, respectively. Income tax expense recorded in each of the years primarily relates to our consolidated taxable REIT subsidiaries, and certain state, local, and franchise taxes. The year ended December 31, 2024 included $14,353,000 of income tax expense resulting from book to tax differences (primarily straight-line rent adjustments and depreciation) on our investment in The Farley Building and $2,106,000 of income tax expense recognized on the sale of 220 CPS condominium units. The year ended December 31, 2023 included $11,722,000 of income tax expense resulting from book to tax differences on our investment in The Farley Building and $2,168,000 of income tax expense recognized on the sale of 220 CPS condominium units. The year ended December 31, 2022 included $13,665,000 of income tax expense resulting from book to tax differences on our investment in The Farley Building and $6,016,000 of income tax expense recognized on the sale of 220 CPS condominium units. The Company has no uncertain tax positions recognized as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Operating Partnership’s partners are required to report their respective share of taxable income on their individual tax returns. The estimated taxable income attributable to Vornado common shareholders (unaudited) for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $145,630,000, $102,903,000, and $398,644,000, respectively. The book to tax differences between net income (loss) and estimated taxable income primarily result from differences in the income recognition or deductibility of depreciation and amortization, gain or loss from the sale of real estate and other capital transactions, impairment losses, straight-line rent adjustments, stock option expense and repairs expense related to the tangible property regulations. The net basis of Vornado’s assets and liabilities for tax reporting purposes is approximately $1.4 billion lower than the amounts reported in Vornado’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024.

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. In addition, certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period presentation.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date ("ASU 2025-01"). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement as well as disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted.

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 REIT taxable income and therefore, no provision for Federal income taxes is required. Dividends distributed for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were characterized, for federal income tax purposes, as ordinary income under Section 199A of the Internal Revenue Code.

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. The Farley Building and our 220 Central Park South (“220 CPS”) condominium project are held through taxable REIT subsidiaries.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, our taxable REIT subsidiaries had deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances, of $6,142,000 and $7,557,000, respectively, which are included in “other assets” on our consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, our taxable REIT subsidiaries had deferred tax liabilities of $84,877,000 and $74,721,000, respectively, which are included in "other liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets. The deferred tax assets relate to net operating loss carry forwards and temporary differences between the book and tax basis of our assets. The deferred tax liabilities relate to temporary differences between the book and tax basis of our assets.

As of December 31, 2024, our taxable REIT subsidiaries have an estimated $181,000,000 of federal net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards and $246,000,000 of state and local NOL carryforwards, which are reduced by valuation allowances of $162,000,000 for federal NOL carryforwards and $246,000,000 for state and local NOL carryforwards. The NOL carryforwards are subject to certain limitations.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized $22,729,000 of income tax expense based on an effective tax rate of approximately 53.0%. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we recognized $29,222,000 and $21,660,000 of income tax expense, based on effective tax rates of approximately 47.0% and negative 6.0%, respectively. Income tax expense recorded in each of the years primarily relates to our consolidated taxable REIT subsidiaries, and certain state, local, and franchise taxes. The year ended December 31, 2024 included $14,353,000 of income tax expense resulting from book to tax differences (primarily straight-line rent adjustments and depreciation) on our investment in The Farley Building and $2,106,000 of income tax expense recognized on the sale of 220 CPS condominium units. The year ended December 31, 2023 included $11,722,000 of income tax expense resulting from book to tax differences on our investment in The Farley Building and $2,168,000 of income tax expense recognized on the sale of 220 CPS condominium units. The year ended December 31, 2022 included $13,665,000 of income tax expense resulting from book to tax differences on our investment in The Farley Building and $6,016,000 of income tax expense recognized on the sale of 220 CPS condominium units. The Company has no uncertain tax positions recognized as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

The estimated taxable income attributable to Vornado common shareholders (unaudited) for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $145,630,000, $102,903,000, and $398,644,000, respectively. The book to tax differences between net income (loss) and estimated taxable income primarily result from differences in the income recognition or deductibility of depreciation and amortization, gain or loss from the sale of real estate and other capital transactions, impairment losses, straight-line rent adjustments, stock option expense and repairs expense related to the tangible property regulations.
