CBL's President and Chief Executive Officer Stephen Lebovitz commented, "First quarter highlights include an impressive 7% increase in same-center sales and the continuation of double-digit lease spreads. Same-center NOI and occupancy were impacted by the lost income from bankruptcy-related store closures; however, continued healthy demand from higher quality retailers will result in a stronger tenant mix across the CBL portfolio.
"We are making solid progress in executing our disposition program. We closed on the sale of one mall this week and expect to make additional announcements in the near future. We are growing our portfolio with Fremaux Town Center Phase II and Ambassador Town Center now under construction as well as expansions to our Atlanta and Bluegrass outlets. Redevelopments, such as the former Sears at CoolSprings Galleria and Fayette Mall, bring exciting new retailers and restaurants to our centers and enhance our long-term growth rate."
FFO allocable to common shareholders, as adjusted, for the first quarter 2015 was $87.9 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, compared with $87.7 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, for the first quarter 2014. FFO of the Operating Partnership, as adjusted, for the first quarter 2015 was $102.9 million compared with $102.9 million for the first quarter of 2014.
Net income attributable to common shareholders for the first quarter of 2015 was $34.9 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared with net income of $44.1 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2014.

MAJOR VARIANCES IMPACTING SAME-CENTER NOI RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCHÂ 31, 2015
- New leasing and positive renewal spreads contributed to a $0.9 million increase in same-center minimum rents. Minimum rents were impacted by lost income from bankruptcy related store closures.
- Percentage rents increased by $0.4 million due to positive sales growth.
- Tenant reimbursement of real estate tax expense increased by $1.4 million, offset by a $2.3 million increase in real estate tax expense.
- Property operating expense increased by $0.8 million, primarily as a result of a negative variance of $1.1 million due to an insurance adjustment in the prior year period and a $0.4 million increase in bad debt expense.
- Maintenance and repairs declined by $1.2 million, primarily as a result of a $0.5 million decline in snow removal expense and a decline in other expenses.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Funds From Operations
FFO is a widely used measure of the operating performance of real estate companies that supplements net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses on sales of depreciable operating properties and impairment losses of depreciable properties, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and noncontrolling interests. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and noncontrolling interests are calculated on the same basis. We define FFO allocable to common shareholders as defined above by NAREIT less dividends on preferred stock. The Company's method of calculating FFO allocable to its common shareholders may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.
The Company believes that FFO provides an additional indicator of the operating performance of its properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assumes the value of real estate assets declines predictably over time. Since values of well-maintained real estate assets have historically risen with market conditions, the Company believes that FFO enhances investors' understanding of its operating performance. The use of FFO as an indicator of financial performance is influenced not only by the operations of the Company's properties and interest rates, but also by its capital structure. The Company presents both FFO of its Operating Partnership and FFO allocable to its common shareholders, as it believes that both are useful performance measures. The Company believes FFO of its Operating Partnership is a useful performance measure since it conducts substantially all of its business through its Operating Partnership and, therefore, it reflects the performance of the properties in absolute terms regardless of the ratio of ownership interests of the Company's common shareholders and the noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership. The Company believes FFO allocable to its common shareholders is a useful performance measure because it is the performance measure that is most directly comparable to net income (loss) attributable to its common shareholders.
In the reconciliation of net income attributable to the Company's common shareholders to FFO allocable to its common shareholders, located in this earnings release, the Company makes an adjustment to add back noncontrolling interest in income (loss) of its Operating Partnership in order to arrive at FFO of its Operating Partnership. The Company then applies a percentage to FFO of its Operating Partnership to arrive at FFO allocable to its common shareholders. The percentage is computed by taking the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and dividing it by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares and the weighted average number of Operating Partnership units outstanding during the period.
FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) for purposes of evaluating the Company's operating performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.
As described above, during the first quarter of 2015, the Company recognized a $16.6 million gain on investment related to the sale of marketable securities and received income of $4.7 million, net of related expense, as a partial settlement of ongoing litigation. During the first quarter of 2014, the Company recognized a $42.7 million net gain on the extinguishment of debt in connection with the foreclosure of the mortgage loan encumbering Citadel Mall and the early retirement of the mortgage loan encumbering St. Clair Square. Additionally, the Company received income of $0.8 million as a partial settlement of ongoing litigation. Considering the significance and nature of these items, the Company believes it is important to identify their impact on its FFO measures for readers to have a complete understanding of the Company's results of operations. Therefore, the Company has also presented adjusted FFO measures excluding these items from the applicable periods.
Same-center Net Operating Income
NOI is a supplemental measure of the operating performance of the Company's shopping centers and other properties. The Company defines NOI as property operating revenues (rental revenues, tenant reimbursements and other income) less property operating expenses (property operating, real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs).
Similar to FFO, the Company computes NOI based on its pro rata share of both consolidated and unconsolidated properties. The Company's definition of NOI may be different than that used by other companies and, accordingly, the Company's NOI may not be comparable to that of other companies.
Since NOI includes only those revenues and expenses related to the operations of its shopping center and other properties, the Company believes that same-center NOI provides a measure that reflects trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs and the impact of those trends on the Company's results of operations. The Company's calculation of same-center NOI also excludes lease termination income, straight-line rent adjustments, and amortization of above and below market lease intangibles in order to enhance the comparability of results from one period to another, as these items can be impacted by one-time events that may distort same-center NOI trends and may result in same-center NOI that is not indicative of the ongoing operations of the Company's shopping center and other properties. A reconciliation of same-center NOI to net income is located at the end of this earnings release.
Pro Rata Share of Debt
The Company presents debt based on its pro rata ownership share (including the Company's pro rata share of unconsolidated affiliates and excluding noncontrolling interests' share of consolidated properties) because it believes this provides investors a clearer understanding of the Company's total debt obligations which affect the Company's liquidity. A reconciliation of the Company's pro rata share of debt to the amount of debt on the Company's consolidated balance sheet is located at the end of this earnings release.

Same-center NOI is for real estate properties and does not include the results of operations of the Company's subsidiary that provides janitorial, security and maintenance services. We include a property in our same-center pool when we own all or a portion of the property as of March 31 2015, and we owned it and it was in operation for both the entire preceding calendar year and the current year-to-date reporting period ending March 31, 2015. New properties are excluded from same-center NOI, until they meet this criteria. The only properties excluded from the same-center pool that would otherwise meet this criteria are non-core properties, properties under major redevelopment, properties being considered for repositioning and properties where we intend to renegotiate the terms of the debt secured by the related property. |
