GREAT NECK, NY--(Marketwire - Mar 14, 2012) - One Liberty Properties, Inc. (
Patrick J. Callan, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of One Liberty, commented, "During 2011, we continued to build on our 2010 success in growing and improving our portfolio through select acquisitions and dispositions. In 2011, we acquired six properties and sold one, using our network of relationships to secure additional properties that will contribute to our growth in the coming years. We ended the year with occupancy at 97.6% which supports strong cash flow. As we enter 2012, One Liberty is well positioned to balance additional acquisitions and solid occupancy with select divestitures to further enhance cash flow in our efforts to drive increased value for our stockholders."
Operating Results:
Total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2011 increased 12.5% to $11.7 million, compared to $10.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010. Revenues benefited from the contribution of the Company's 2010 and 2011 acquisitions.
Income from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2011 increased 107% to $3.1 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared to $1.5 million, or $0.12, per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2010. Contributing to the improvement was the increase in revenues and the $493,000 decrease in interest expense. Interest expense decreased primarily as a result of the decrease in mortgage interest expense and, to a lesser extent, the decrease in the Company's outstanding credit line balance.
The Company generated Funds from Operations ("FFO") of $5.7 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $4.1 million or $0.35 per diluted share in the corresponding period of the prior year. A reconciliation of GAAP amounts to non-GAAP amounts is presented with the financial information included later in this release.
The per share results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2011 take into account the issuance of shares issued under One Liberty's dividend reinvestment program and 2.7 million shares in the Company's February 2011 public offering. The Company used a portion of the approximately $40.6 million of net proceeds it received from the offering to reduce the outstanding credit line balance and payoff certain mortgages bearing high interest rates.
Full Year 2011 Operating Results:
Total revenues increased 10.2% to $45.2 million compared to $41 million for 2010. Revenues increased due to the impact of acquisitions.
Income from continuing operations increased 52.8% to $12.5 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, compared to $8.2 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, in 2010. Contributing to the improvement were the increased revenues, a $1.2 million gain on settlement of debt and a $899,000 decrease in interest expense. Interest expense decreased due primarily to the reduction in the outstanding credit line balance and to a lesser extent reduced mortgage interest expense.
Net income attributable to One Liberty was $13.7 million, or $0.96 per diluted share in 2011, compared to $9.3 million, or $0.81 per diluted share in 2010.
FFO for 2011 was $22.8 million, or $1.61 per diluted share, compared to 2010 FFO of $18.2 million, or $1.58 per diluted share.
Balance Sheet:
At December 31, 2011, the Company had $12.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, total assets of $460.7 million, total debt of $225.8 million (including $20 million outstanding on the credit line) and total equity of $218.9 million.
Subsequent Events:
In February 2012, the Company entered into a joint venture with an affiliate of Trammell Crow Company with respect to a property we acquired in 2003. The venture contemplates redeveloping the property, which is located on a 6.2 acre site in Plano, Texas, into up to two Class A office buildings. The redevelopment of this property is subject to, among other things, obtaining the necessary equity and debt financing, sufficient tenant commitments and requisite third party approvals. The property is currently leased by the venture to a retail tenant on a short term lease.
In March 2012, we acquired three Applebee's restaurant locations in the Atlanta, Georgia area for approximately $8.6 million. The properties are subject to individual long term net leases and the annual base rent with respect thereto is approximately $664,000.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
One Liberty believes that Funds from Operations ("FFO") is a widely recognized and appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT. One Liberty presents FFO because it considers FFO to be an important supplemental measure of One Liberty's operating performance. One Liberty believes FFO is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is intended to exclude generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. As a result, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, interest costs and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation and amortization, providing perspective that may not necessarily be apparent from net income.
One Liberty has determined FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. ("NAREIT"). FFO is defined by NAREIT as net income (or loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, plus impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Management believes this is appropriate and relevant to securities analysts, investors and other interested parties and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures as reported by others.
