Portfolio Results

  • During the third quarter of 2013, we began the process of terminating leases with or relocating tenants occupying a portion of our Uptown Park property which we refer to as the “Baker Site” and our Courtyard at Post Oak property at Post Oak and San Felipe in Houston, in order to prepare those sites for vertical re-development. In the fourth quarter of 2013, excluding our redevelopment properties (Uptown Park – Baker Site and The Courtyard on Post Oak), same-store net operating income (“NOI”) increased 3.0% over the same period in the prior year. Including those two redevelopment properties, same-store NOI increased 0.4% over the same period in the prior year. For the year ended December 31, 2013, same-store NOI, excluding redevelopment properties, increased 3.1% and, including the two redevelopment properties, increased 1.3% over the same period in the prior year. While the same-store NOI in the short term has been negatively impacted by our redevelopments, we believe that the mid-term and long term benefits of re-development of these sites will provide outsized same-store NOI growth. For example, the anticipated ground lease at the Uptown Park – Baker Site, if executed, would represent a 200% increase over the in-place NOI generated by the existing 12,200 square feet of inline retail space.
  • With the 2013 acquisitions of Fountain Oaks and Woodlake Square, which were 79% and 93% occupied respectively, portfolio occupancy as of December 31, 2013 was 94.2%, a decrease of approximately 250 basis points as compared to portfolio occupancy of 96.7% as of December 31, 2012. We have initiated vacancies at The Courtyard on Post Oak and at the Uptown Park – Baker Site in preparation for their anticipated redevelopments which has put pressure on our occupancy in the short term. Excluding these redevelopments, our portfolio occupancy was 95.1%. On a leased basis, which includes leases that have been executed but where rent has not yet commenced, the portfolio was 94.8% leased as of December 31, 2013. We anticipate rent commencement on these signed leases over the next 90 days.
  • During the fourth quarter of 2013, AmREIT signed 11 leases for 37,890 square feet of gross leasable area, including both new and renewal leases. Of these, 8 leases for 26,909 square feet were renewals or replacements of expiring leases which were deemed to be comparable leases. Cash leasing spreads, which is the new leasing rate per square foot compared to the expiring leasing rate per square foot on comparable leases, increased 10.4%. On a GAAP basis, which includes the effects of straight-line rent, leasing spreads increased 12.8%. For the year ended December 31, 2013, AmREIT signed 61 leases for 149,696 square feet of gross leasable area, including both new and renewal leases. Of these, 46 leases, or 113,991 square feet, were comparable leases. Cash leasing spreads increased 10.6%. On a GAAP basis, leasing spreads increased 16.1%.

NOI and same store NOI are non-GAAP supplemental earnings measures that AmREIT considers meaningful in measuring its operating performance. Further explanation and a reconciliation of NOI and same store NOI to net income are attached to this press release.

Dividends

  • AmREIT also announced today that the Company's Board of Directors has approved a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share. The dividend will be paid on March 31, 2014 to all common stockholders of record at the close of business on March 21, 2014.

Acquisitions and Dispositions

  • On November 12, 2013, AmREIT sold its recently completed build-to-suit CVS property at Loop 610 and Ella in Houston, Texas, and reported a gain on sale of approximately $2.3 million. AmREIT developed the property for approximately $5.2 million, financed through cash and its unsecured credit facility and sold the property at a 5.5% cap rate, or approximately $7.5 million net of expenses. Although not included in Core FFO, this activity is a key component of our business strategy and is a benefit of being a ‘local sharpshooter' within our core markets.
  • On September 18, 2013, AmREIT completed the previously announced acquisition of Woodlake Square Shopping Center, a 156,888 square foot Randalls (Safeway parent company) and Walgreens-anchored shopping center in Houston Texas. Average household incomes within a one-mile radius of Woodlake Square are $69,595, and there are 82,692 households within a three-mile radius of the property. Daytime employment within a three-mile radius is 126,883. Woodlake Square was acquired from a joint venture, the partners of which were one of our Advised Funds and AEW Value Investors II, L.P., a value-added real estate fund managed by AEW Capital Management. The asset was 90% owned by AEW Capital Management, 6% by AmREIT Monthly Income & Growth Fund IV, LP., 3% by AmREIT Monthly Income & Growth Fund III, Ltd., and 1% by AmREIT. We managed the joint venture and the property. Woodlake Square was acquired for approximately $41.6 million, funded by a $23.0 million new first mortgage with a 4.3% fixed interest rate and a 10-year term, and the balance of $18.6 million was funded in cash.
  • On July 17, 2013, AmREIT completed the acquisition of the underlying land of Preston Royal Village NEC. This acquisition resulted in termination of our ground lease that we acquired in December 2012 and provided us with complete ownership of this property. Average household incomes within a one-mile radius of Preston Royal Village are $279,562 and there are 42,163 households within a three-mile radius. The Preston Royal Village NEC land was purchased for approximately $15.0 million in cash.
  • On June 25, 2013, AmREIT completed the acquisition of Fountain Oaks Shopping Center, a 160,600 square foot Kroger-anchored shopping center in the north Buckhead submarket of Atlanta, Georgia. Average household incomes within a one-mile radius of Fountain Oaks are $96,771, and there are 31,887 households within a three-mile radius of the property. Fountain Oaks was acquired for approximately $27.7 million, is unencumbered, and was funded with borrowings under AmREIT's unsecured revolving credit facility.
  • On March 26, 2013, AmREIT entered into a joint venture agreement with Goldman Sachs pursuant to which AmREIT contributed equity in its MacArthur Park property to a single-purpose entity in exchange for a 30% interest in the joint venture, and Goldman Sachs contributed cash for a 70% interest in the joint venture. The joint venture entity concurrently purchased the contiguous property to the north known as MacArthur Park Phase I, excluding a Target store, for approximately $25.5 million and placed mortgage financing on the combined property of $43.9 million. Upon closing the transaction, AmREIT received net cash proceeds of approximately $35.6 million, which it used to repay borrowings under its unsecured revolving credit facility. AmREIT continues to manage and lease MacArthur Park on behalf of the joint venture and retains a right of first offer to acquire the project in the future, after expiration of a two-year lock-out period.

Equity Offering

  • On June 21, 2013, AmREIT filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") registering the offer and sale, from time to time, of up to $350 million of securities, which was declared effective by the SEC on July 1, 2013.
  • On July 19, 2013 AmREIT completed the public underwritten offering of 3,450,000 shares of common stock, including 450,000 shares sold pursuant to the exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment option, at a public offering price of $18.25 per share. The offering generated net proceeds of approximately $60 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses. AmREIT used a portion of the net proceeds to repay borrowings under its unsecured revolving credit facility and to acquire the underlying land on our Preston Royal East property. AmREIT used a portion of the remaining proceeds to fund the cash portion of the acquisition of Woodlake Square.

Supplemental Financial Information

Further details regarding AmREIT's results of operations, properties, and tenants are attached to this press release and can be accessed at the Company's web site at www.amreit.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure

This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures that management believes are useful in evaluating an equity REIT's performance. AmREIT's definitions and calculations of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those used by other equity REITs, and therefore may not be comparable. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our operating results, or to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

Funds From Operations (FFO)

AmREIT considers FFO to be an appropriate measure of the operating performance of an equity REIT. FFO is computed as net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property and impairment charges on properties held for investment, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. NAREIT recommends that extraordinary items not be considered in arriving at FFO. AmREIT calculates FFO in accordance with this definition.

Most industry analysts and equity REITs, including AmREIT, consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of operating performance because, by excluding gains or losses from sales of property and impairment charges on properties held for investment and by excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization, FFO is a helpful tool that can assist in the comparison of the operating performance of a company's real estate between periods, or as compared to different companies. Management uses FFO as a supplemental measure to conduct and evaluate our business because there are certain limitations associated with using GAAP net income by itself as the primary measure of our operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management believes that the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that uses historical cost accounting is insufficient by itself.

Additionally, AmREIT considers Core FFO, which adjusts FFO for items that do not reflect ongoing operations, such as acquisition expenses, non-recurring intangible asset write-offs and recoveries, expensed issuance costs and gains on the sale of real estate held for resale, to be a meaningful performance measurement. The computation of FFO in accordance with NAREIT's definition includes certain items such as acquisition costs, issuance costs, non-recurring asset write-offs and recoveries and gains on sale of real estate held for resale that management believes are not indicative of AmREIT's ongoing results and therefore affect the comparability of our period-over-period performance with the performances of similar REITs. Accordingly, management believes that it is helpful to investors to adjust FFO for such items. There can be no assurance that FFO or Core FFO presented by AmREIT is comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs. FFO and Core FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or other measurements under GAAP as an indicator of our operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of liquidity.

Projected FFO and Core FFO are calculated in a method consistent with historical FFO and Core FFO, and AmREIT considers projected FFO and Core FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure when compared with projected earnings per share. A reconciliation of the projected FFO and Core FFO to projected earnings per share is provided below:

FFO available to stockholders $ 1.02 $ 0.98
Acquisition costs 0.04 0.04
Core FFO available to stockholders $1.06 $1.02

Net Operating Income (NOI)

AmREIT believes that NOI is a useful measure of its operating performance. AmREIT defines NOI as operating revenues (rental income, tenant recovery income, percentage rent, excluding straight-line rental income and amortization of acquired above- and below-market rents) less property operating expenses (real estate tax expense and property operating expense, excluding straight-line rent bad debt expense). Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, AmREIT's NOI may not be comparable to other REITs.

AmREIT believes that reporting NOI provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP operating income, GAAP net income, FFO or Core FFO. AmREIT uses NOI to evaluate its performance on a property-by-property basis because NOI allows it to evaluate the impact that factors such as lease structure, lease rates and tenant base, which vary by property, have on its operating results. However, NOI should only be used as a supplemental measure of AmREIT's financial performance.

(3) ABR is calculated by multiplying (i) monthly base rent as of December 31, 2013, for leases that had commenced as of such date, by (ii) 12.
(4) ABR per leased square foot is calculated by dividing (i) ABR, by (ii) GLA under commenced leases as of December 31, 2013.
(5) Average net effective ABR per leased square foot represents (i) the contractual base rent for commenced leases as of December 31, 2013, calculated on a straight line basis to amortize free rent periods, abatements and contractual rent increases, but without subtracting tenant improvement allowances and leasing commissions, divided by (ii) GLA under commenced leases as of December 31, 2013.
(6) For single-tenant ground leases, we own and lease the land to the tenant. The tenant owns the building during the term of the lease and is responsible for all expenses relating to the property. Upon expiration or termination of the lease, ownership of the building will revert to us as owner of the land. The weighted average remaining term of our ground leases is 7.0 years.
(7) The tenants at these properties have rights of first refusal to purchase the property.
(8) For single-tenant fee simple properties, we own the land and the building, and the tenant is responsible for all expenses relating to the property. The weighted average remaining term of our fee simple leases is 6.0 years.
(9) Percent occupied, excluding our redevelopment properties of Uptown Park and The Courtyard on Post Oak, was 95.1% as of December 31, 2013.

[1] Redevelopment represents significant construction and refurbishment at operating properties. Development represents initial construction, primarily from unimproved land.
[2] Expected ROI (return on investment) for redevelopment projects generally reflects only the deal specific cash, unleveraged incremental property net operating income (NOI) generated by the redevelopment and is calculated as incremental NOI divided by incremental cost. Incremental property NOI is the NOI generated by the redevelopment after deducting rent being paid or management's estimate of rent to be paid for the redevelopment space and any other space taken out of service to accommodate the redevelopment.
For development projects, expected return on investment reflects the deal specific cash, unleveraged property NOI generated by the development and is calculated as NOI divided by cost.
Expected return on investment for development and redevelopment projects does not include peripheral impacts, such as the impact on future lease rollovers at the property or the impact on the long-term value of the property.
[3] Amounts include construction costs, anticipated tenant improvements and lease-up costs, including anticipated commissions that will be borne by the Company.
[4] Stabilization is reached when the property achieves targeted occupancy, typically 95%.
[5] Property was sold during 2013 for $7.5 million.
[6]

Represents the weighted average expected return on investment for all properties.

* As of December 31, 2013, only nine months of operations are included for the MacArthur Park joint venture as it began operations on March 26, 2013.
 

Definitions

 

ABR

Annualized base rent.

 

Adjusted FFO

Core FFO (as defined below) adjusted to exclude non-cash income and expenses that are included in the NAREIT definition of FFO (defined below).  There can be no assurance that AFFO presented by AmREIT is comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs. AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or other measurements under GAAP as an indicator of our operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of liquidity.

 

Advised Funds

Collectively, our varying minority ownership interests in four high net worth investment funds, one institutional joint venture with Goldman Sachs, one institutional joint venture with J.P. Morgan Investment Management and one joint venture with two of our high net worth investment funds, MIG III and MIG IV.

 

Core FFO

FFO in accordance with NAREIT's definition, adjusted to exclude items that management believes do not reflect our ongoing operations, such as acquisition expenses, non-recurring asset write-offs and recoveries, expensed issuance costs and gains on the sale of real estate held for resale. Management believes that such items therefore affect the comparability of our period-over-period performance with similar REITs.

 

EBITDA

Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.  Management believes that EBITDA is an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance to net income. We define EBITDA as GAAP net income, plus interest expense, state or federal income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Management believes that EBITDA provides useful information to the investment community about our operating performance when compared to other REITs since EBITDA is generally recognized as a standard measure. However, EBITDA should not be viewed as a measure of our overall financial performance since it does not reflect depreciation and amortization, interest expense, provision for income taxes, and the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating EBITDA and, accordingly, our EBITDA may not be comparable to other REITs.  Below is a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA:

 
  Year ended December 31,
2013   2012
Net income $ 14,819 $ 4,460
Interest expense 9,603 10,250
State income taxes 30 2
Depreciation and amortization 11,945 8,861
Depreciation and amortization - discontinued operations 14 23
Adjustments for Advised Funds   2,203   1,148
EBITDA $ 38,614 $ 24,744
 

FFO

Funds from operations, as defined by NAREIT, which includes net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains, losses or impairments on properties held for investment, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for similar items  recorded by our Advised Funds.

 

GLA

Gross leasable area.

 

NAREIT

National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts.

 

NOI

Net operating income, defined as operating revenues (rental income, tenant recovery income, percentage rent, excluding straight-line rental income and amortization of acquired above- and below-market rents) less property operating expenses (real estate tax expense and property operating expense, excluding straight-line rent bad debt expense).  Below for a reconciliation of net income to NOI:
