NEW YORK, Oct. 30, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RPT Realty (NYSE:RPT) (the "Company") today announced its financial and operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.

"Our third quarter results again exceeded our projections, which is a direct reflection of the positive changes that have been implemented at RPT since June of last year," said Brian Harper, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The improvements we have made across the platform are clearly evident in our year-to-date same property NOI growth of 4.4% and growth of 4.7% for the third quarter. In October, we obtained commitments for our $660 million credit facility which, upon close, will proactively address our maturities over the next few years while capitalizing on the current low interest rate environment. With strong tailwinds from our 2019 leasing activity and our near term financing needs addressed, we head into 2020 with great confidence and strong visibility into our business."

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Net income attributable to common shareholders for the third quarter 2019 of $3.8 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to $8.4 million, or $0.10 per diluted share for the same period in 2018.

FFO for the third quarter 2019 of $24.7 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, compared to $26.0 million, or $0.29 per diluted share for the same period in 2018. The change in FFO was primarily driven by the Company's non-core asset disposition program that concluded in the first quarter 2019 that was partially offset by a decline in  management reorganization and severance costs associated with recent executive management changes.

Operating FFO for the third quarter 2019 of $25.1 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, compared to $28.4 million or $0.32 per diluted share for the same period in 2018. The change in Operating FFO was primarily driven by the Company's non-core asset disposition program that concluded in the first quarter 2019. Operating FFO for the third quarter 2019 excludes certain net non-recurring costs that totaled $0.4 million, primarily attributable to executive management reorganization costs tied to a performance award related to the Company's former Chief Executive Officer.

OPERATING RESULTS

Same property NOI during the third quarter 2019 increased 4.7% compared to the same period in 2018. Same property NOI growth for the third quarter 2019 was primarily driven by higher base rent of 3.5%.

During the third quarter 2019, the Company signed 54 leases totaling 227,516 square feet. Blended re-leasing spreads on comparable leases were 7.1% with an Annualized Base Rent ("ABR") of $18.78 per square foot. Re-leasing spreads on comparable new and renewal leases were 7.5% and 7.1%, respectively.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had $3.3 million of signed not commenced ABR that is scheduled to commence over the next twelve months.

The table below summarizes the Company's leased rate and occupancy results at September 30, 2019, June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018.

Non-GAAP Financial Definitions

 

Certain of our key performance indicators are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses these measures along with our GAAP financial statements in order to evaluate our operations results.  We believe these additional measures provide users of our financial information additional comparable indicators of our industry, as well as our performance.

Funds From Operations (FFO) Available to Common Shareholders
As defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), Funds From Operations (FFO) represents net income computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable property and impairment provisions on depreciable real estate or on investments in non-consolidated investees that are driven by measurable decreases in the fair value of depreciable real estate held by the investee, plus depreciation and amortization of depreciable real estate, (excluding amortization of financing costs).  Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis.  We have adopted the NAREIT definition in our computation of FFO available to common shareholders.

Operating FFO Available to Common Shareholders
In addition to FFO available to common shareholders, we include Operating FFO available to common shareholders as an additional measure of our financial and operating performance.  Operating FFO excludes acquisition costs and periodic items such as gains (or losses) from sales of land and impairment provisions on land available for development, bargain purchase gains, severance expense, executive management reorganization costs, net, accelerated amortization of debt premiums and gains or losses on extinguishment of debt that are not adjusted under the current NAREIT definition of FFO. We provide a reconciliation of FFO to Operating FFO.  FFO and Operating FFO should not be considered alternatives to GAAP net income available to common shareholders or as alternatives to cash flow as measures of liquidity.

While we consider FFO available to common shareholders and Operating FFO available to common shareholders useful measures for reviewing our comparative operating and financial performance between periods or to compare our performance to different REITs, our computations of FFO and Operating FFO may differ from the computations utilized by other real estate companies, and therefore, may not be comparable.  We  recognize the  limitations of  FFO  and  Operating FFO  when  compared to  GAAP net  income available to  common shareholders. FFO and Operating FFO available to common shareholders do not represent amounts available for needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. In addition, FFO and Operating FFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, including the payment of dividends. FFO and Operating FFO are simply  used for reviewing our comparative operating and financial performance between periods or to compare our performance to different REITs. Our computations of FFO and Operating FFO may differ from the computations utilized by other real estate companies, and therefore, may not be comparable.

Net Operating Income (NOI)
Net Operating Income (NOI) is calculated using consolidated net income available to common shareholders and adjusted to exclude preferred share dividends, net income/loss attributable to noncontrolling partner interest, income tax provisions, interest expense and other associated debt costs, earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures, management and other fee income, depreciation and amortization, acquisition costs, general and administrative expenses, provisions for impairments, lease termination fees, straight-line rent/expense, amortization of above/below market rent and lease inducements.  NOI consists of Same Property NOI and NOI from Other Investment Properties.

Same Property NOI and NOI from Other Investments
Same Property NOI and NOI from Other Investments are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures of real estate companies' operating performance.  Same Property NOI is considered by management to be a relevant performance measure of our operations because it includes only the NOI of comparable consolidated operating properties for the reporting period.  Same Property NOI for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 represents NOI from the Company's same property portfolio consisting of 46 consolidated operating properties acquired or placed in service and stabilized prior to January 1, 2018.  Same Property NOI excludes properties under redevelopment or where activities have started in preparation for redevelopment.  A property is designated as a redevelopment when planned improvements significantly impact the property.  Same Property NOI is calculated using consolidated operating income and adjusted to exclude management and other fee income, depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expense, provision for impairment and non-comparable income and expense adjustments such as straight-line rents, lease termination fees, above/below market rents, and other non-comparable operating income and expense adjustments.  NOI from Other Investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 represents NOI primarily from (i) properties disposed of during 2018 and 2019, (ii) Webster Place and Rivertowne Square where the Company has begun activities in anticipation of future redevelopment, (iii) certain property related employee compensation and benefits expense and (iv) non-comparable operating income and expense adjustments.

Same Property NOI and NOI from Other Investments should not be considered an alternative to net income in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of liquidity.  Our method of calculating Same Property NOI and NOI from Other Investments may differ from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

EBITDAre/Adjusted EBITDA/Proforma Adjusted EBITDA
NAREIT defines EBITDAre as net income computed in accordance with GAAP, plus interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization and impairment of depreciable real estate and in substance real estate equity investments; plus or minus gains or losses from sales of operating real estate assets and interests in real estate equity investments; and adjustments to reflect our share of unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships for these items. The Company calculates EBITDAre in a manner consistent with the NAREIT definition.  The Company also presents Adjusted EBITDA which is EBITDAre net of severance expense and other non-recurring items.  EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative measure of operating results or cash flow from operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.  Proforma Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts for the effect of the acquisition or disposition of properties during the period.

Occupancy
Occupancy is defined, for a property or group of properties, as the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of (a) the number of square feet of such property economically occupied by tenants under leases with an initial term of greater than one year, to (b) the aggregate number of square feet for such property.

Leased Rate
Lease Rate is defined, for a property or group of properties, as the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of (a) the number of square feet of such property occupied by tenants at the time the lease was executed with an initial term of greater than one year, to (b) the aggregate number of square feet for such property.
