Portfolio Occupancy Matches All-Time High Level

Updates 2019 Outlook

Kimco Realty Corp. KIM today reported results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2019. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, net income available to the company's common shareholders was $0.20 per diluted share and $0.36 per diluted share, respectively.

Second Quarter Highlights:

  • Increased pro-rata occupancy to a record-tying 96.2%.
  • Generated new leasing spreads of 37.0%, representing the 22nd consecutive quarter in which spreads on new leases increased by double digits.
  • Grew same-property net operating income ("NOI") by 2.5% during the second quarter compared to the same period in 2018.
  • Sold three properties and one land parcel totaling 875,000 square feet for $103.7 million. Kimco's share was $65.8 million.

"With our pro-rata occupancy at an all-time high, impressive spreads on new leases and positive same-property NOI, our strong operating results continue to reflect the successful execution of our 2020 Vision strategy, along with the quality, strength and resiliency of our portfolio," said Conor Flynn, Kimco's Chief Executive Officer. "We also remain focused on our value-creation initiatives designed to drive long-term cash flow growth for our shareholders. An excellent example is the success we're seeing at Phase One of Pentagon Centre, where in just one month, we're seeing strong demand that has enabled us to lease over 45 percent of the residential units, well exceeding our expectations."

Financial Results

Net income available to the company's common shareholders for the second quarter of 2019 was $86.5 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to $150.9 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2018. The change was primarily due to the sale of over $1.0 billion of properties since 2018 through the first six months of 2019. The result of the sales was $70.4 million of lower gains on sale of properties, net of impairments, partially offset by $10.0 million of lower depreciation expense.

NAREIT Funds From Operations ("FFO")* was $151.2 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $158.6 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2018. NAREIT FFO for the second quarter of 2019 included $1.0 million of transactional income (net of transactional charges) compared to $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2018.

FFO as adjusted available to common shareholders ("FFO as adjusted")*, which excludes the effects of transactional income and charges, was $150.2 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $155.7 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2018.

*A reconciliation of net income available to the company's common shareholders to NAREIT FFO, FFO as adjusted and same-property NOI is provided in the tables accompanying this press release.

Operating Results

  • Pro-rata occupancy ended the second quarter at 96.2%, representing a 20-basis-point sequential increase and an expansion of 20 basis points over the same period in 2018.
  • Pro-rata anchor occupancy ended the second quarter at 98.2%, representing a 40-basis-point sequential increase and a year-over-year expansion of 10 basis points.
  • Pro-rata small shop occupancy ended the second quarter at 90.5%, representing a 30-basis-point increase year-over-year and a sequential decrease of 10 basis points. Second quarter 2019 small shop occupancy includes a 20-basis-point reduction from the vacancy of 18 Payless, Inc. stores.
  • Pro-rata rental-rate leasing spreads increased 7.9% during the second quarter 2019, with rental rates for new leases up 37.0% and renewals/options up 4.1%.
  • Generated 2.5% growth in same-property NOI for the second quarter of 2019 over the comparable period in 2018 driven by a 3.0% increase in minimum rent.

Investment Activity

During the second quarter, the company sold three properties and one land parcel totaling 875,000 square feet for $103.7 million. Kimco's share of the sales price was $65.8 million.

Year to date, the company's dispositions included 12 properties and one land parcel, totaling 1.9 million square feet, for a gross sales price of $226.1 million. Kimco's share of the sales price was $161.1 million. The blended cap rate for the property sales is in line with the company's expected range of 7.25%-7.75%. Currently, the company has approximately $145.3 million of properties under contract expected to close during 2019. Kimco's share of the sales would be $86.6 million.

(1) Certain amounts have been reclassified in order to conform with NAREIT's clarification guidance adopted January 1, 2019.

(2) Related to gains, impairments and depreciation on properties, where applicable.

(3) Reflects the potential impact if certain units were converted to common stock at the beginning of the period. Funds from operations would be increased by $228 and $261 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Funds from operations would be increased by $446 and $525 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

Funds From Operations ("FFO") is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure utilized to evaluate the operating performance of real estate companies. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") Funds From Operations White Paper – 2018 Restatement ("FFO White Paper - 2018 Restatement") which clarifies, where necessary, existing guidance and consolidates alerts and policy bulletins into a single document for ease of use. NAREIT defines FFO as net income/(loss) available to the Company's common shareholders computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), excluding (i) depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (ii) gains or losses from sales of certain real estate assets, (iii) gains and losses from change in control, (iv) impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity and (v) after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. Included in the FFO White Paper - 2018 Restatement is an option for the Company to make an election to include or exclude gains and losses on the sale of assets and impairments of assets incidental to its main business in the calculation of FFO. In conjunction with the adoption of the FFO White Paper - 2018 Restatement, the Company has elected to exclude gains/impairments on land parcels, gains/losses (realized or unrealized) from marketable securities and gains/impairments on preferred equity participations in NAREIT defined FFO.

 

The Company's reconciliation of net income available to the Company's common shareholders to FFO available to the Company's common shareholders and FFO available to the Company's common shareholders as adjusted, is reflected in the table above (in thousands, except per share data). In conjunction with the adoption of NAREIT's FFO White Paper – 2018 Restatement, the Company has reclassified $6.7 million and $10.2 million from transactional income into FFO available to the Company's common shareholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, relating to incidental gains and losses on the sale of assets and mark-to-market changes in equity securities. This reclassification had no impact on FFO available to the Company's common shareholders as adjusted for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.
