OAK BROOK, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Inland Real Estate Corporation IRC, a publicly traded real estate investment trust that owns and operates high-quality, necessity and value-based retail centers primarily in select markets within the Central and Southeastern United States, today announced financial and operational results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2014.

Highlights

  • Recurring FFO (defined as Funds From Operations adjusted for the impact of lease termination income, certain gains and non-cash impairment charges of non-depreciable real estate, net of taxes) per weighted average common share (basic and diluted) of $0.25 for the three months ended December 31, 2014, equal to the fourth quarter of 2013.
  • Recurring FFO per weighted average common share (basic and diluted) of $0.95 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, an increase of 3.3% over the full year 2013.
  • Same-store net operating income (NOI) for the consolidated portfolio increased 3.8% for the quarter and 2.3% for the year ended December 31, 2014, over the comparable periods in 2013.
  • Total portfolio leased occupancy was 95.4% and financial occupancy was 93.4% at December 31, 2014, representing increases of 20 basis points and 30 basis points, respectively, over one year ago.
  • Average base rent for new and renewal leases signed in the total portfolio during the quarter increased by 10.0% and 14.5%, respectively, over expiring average rents. For leases signed during the year, average base rent for new and renewal leases rose by 17.0% and 9.8%, respectively, over expiring rents.
  • During the quarter, IRC acquired the Prairie Crossings power center in the Chicago MSA for $24.7 million and a 13.0-acre vacant land parcel in Northeastern Alabama for $3.0 million to be developed into a Publix-anchored shopping center.
  • Company's joint venture with PGGM acquired Newport Pavilion Phase II in the Cincinnati market for $23.6 million during the quarter and Argonne Village in the Minneapolis-St. Paul MSA for $26.3 million after the close of the quarter.
  • Evergreen Promenade, a 92,488-square-foot grocery-anchored development in the Chicago suburb of Evergreen Park, Ill., was completed in December.
  • Company sold 4 million shares of 6.95% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred Stock") for net proceeds of $96.9 million and redeemed in full, the $29.2 million of 5% Convertible Senior Notes during the quarter.

"Recurring FFO per share of $0.95 for 2014 represents a year-over-year increase of 3.3%, primarily driven by solid portfolio performance including gains in occupancy, rent spreads and same store net operating income," said Mark Zalatoris, president and chief executive officer of IRC. "In addition, in 2014 we continued to enhance the growth potential and diversification of our platform through the acquisition of $134 million of high quality stabilized assets for our wholly-owned and PGGM joint venture portfolios, funded in part with recycled capital from non-core asset dispositions. We complemented this activity with retailer-driven development joint ventures, in both the Central and Southeast regions of the United States, with the additional objectives of achieving an attractive blended yield on total investment, as well as further diversifying our cash flows. We also strengthened our balance sheet and credit metrics primarily via the retirement of debt, the successful offering of our Series B Preferred Stock and the recast of our credit facilities earlier in the year. We believe we begin 2015 in a strong position to drive shareholder value through the continued execution of our strategic plan."

Financial Results for the Quarter

FFO attributable to common stockholders was $24.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared to $18.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. On a per share basis, FFO was $0.25 (basic and diluted) for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to $0.19 (basic and diluted) for the same period of 2013. The increase in FFO and FFO per share was primarily due to higher property net operating income from the consolidated portfolio and lower interest expense, plus a provision for asset impairment on non-depreciable real estate that was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2013. The increase was partially offset by lower lease termination income recorded in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Recurring FFO (defined as FFO adjusted for the impact of lease termination income, certain gains and non-cash impairment charges of non-depreciable real estate, net of taxes) was $24.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to $24.5 million for the prior year quarter. On a per share basis, Recurring FFO was $0.25 (basic and diluted) for the three months ended December 31, 2014, equal to the three months ended December 31, 2013.

Net income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended December 31, 2014 was $2.9 million, compared to a loss of $7.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. On a per common share basis, net income attributable to common stockholders (basic and diluted) was $0.03 for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to a loss of $0.07 for the prior year quarter. Net income for the quarter increased primarily due to asset impairments recognized in the prior year quarter and lower interest expense and depreciation and amortization expense.

Financial Results for the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2014

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, FFO attributable to common stockholders was $94.9 million, compared to $91.0 million for the same period in 2013. On a per share basis, FFO for the full year 2014 was $0.95 (basic and diluted), compared to $0.96 (basic) and $0.95 (diluted) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. FFO for 2014 increased primarily due to higher property net operating income from the consolidated portfolio, increased lease termination income and increased equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures, partially offset by higher general and administrative expense, lower fee income from unconsolidated joint ventures and asset impairments recorded in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Recurring FFO was $94.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, compared to $87.7 million for the prior year period. On a per share basis, Recurring FFO was $0.95 (basic and diluted) for 2014, compared to $0.92 for 2013. Recurring FFO per share for 2014 increased 3.3% year over year primarily due to the aforementioned items, but excluding the impact of lease termination income and asset impairments.

Net income attributable to common stockholders for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 was $28.8 million, compared to $102.7 million for 2013. On a per share basis, net income attributable to common stockholders was $0.29 (basic and diluted), compared to $1.08 for the prior year. Net income decreased year over year primarily due to a gain from the change in control of investment properties in 2013 related to the consolidation of NYSTRS joint venture assets and from the settlement of receivables in 2013, as well as lower lease termination income in 2014. The decrease in net income was partially offset by higher gains on sale of investment properties recorded in 2014, as well as increases in net operating income from our consolidated portfolio and equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures.

Reconciliations of FFO and Recurring FFO to net income attributable to common stockholders, calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as well as FFO and Recurring FFO per share to net income attributable to common stockholders per share, are provided at the end of this news release.

Portfolio Performance

Same-store NOI for the consolidated portfolio was $21.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared to $20.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, representing an increase of 3.8% quarter over quarter. Consolidated same store NOI for the full year 2014 was $83.8 million, compared to $81.9 million for 2013, representing an increase of 2.3% year over year.

Same-store financial occupancy was 92.5% for the consolidated portfolio as of December 31, 2014, representing an increase of 150 basis points over one year ago.

The Company evaluates its overall portfolio by analyzing the operating performance of properties that have been owned and operated for the same three and twelve-month periods during each year. A total of 81 of the Company's investment properties within the consolidated portfolio satisfied this criterion during these periods and are referred to as "same-store" properties. Same-store NOI is a supplemental non-GAAP measure used to monitor the performance of the Company's investment properties.

A reconciliation of consolidated same-store NOI to net income attributable to common stockholders, calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, is provided at the end of this news release.

Leasing

For the quarter, the Company signed 85 leases within the total portfolio aggregating 323,276 square feet of gross leasable area (GLA). Total leases executed included:

  • Fifty-one renewal leases comprising 178,644 square feet, with an average rental rate of $21.83 per square foot, representing an increase of 14.5% over the average expiring rent;
  • Eleven new leases comprising 57,751 square feet, with an average rental rate of $12.03 per square foot, representing an increase of 10.0% over the expiring rent; and
  • Twenty-three non-comparable leases comprising 86,881 square feet, with an average rental rate of $14.65 per square foot. The Company defines non-comparable leases as leases signed for expansion square footage or for space in which there was no former tenant in place for a period of twelve months or more.

On a blended basis, the 62 new and renewal leases executed during the quarter had an average rental rate of $19.43 per square foot, representing an increase of 13.8% over the average expiring rent. The calculations of former and new average base rents are adjusted for rent abatements on the included leases.

For the total portfolio as of December 31, 2014, leased occupancy was 95.4% and financial occupancy was 93.4%, representing gains of 20 basis points and 30 basis points, respectively, over one year ago. Leased occupancy is defined as the percentage of total GLA for which there is a signed lease regardless of whether the tenant is currently obligated to pay rent under their lease agreement. Financial occupancy is defined as the percentage of total GLA for which a tenant is obligated to pay rent under the terms of the lease agreement, regardless of the actual use or occupation by that tenant of the area being leased, and excludes tenants in abatement periods.

EBITDA, Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Market Value

The Company reported Recurring EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), which is EBITDA adjusted for the impact of lease termination income, certain gains and non-cash impairment charges of non-depreciable real estate, of $38.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014, compared to $37.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, representing an increase of 2.6% quarter over quarter. Recurring EBITDA for the full year 2014 was $148.5 million, compared to $142.8 million for 2013, representing an increase of 4.0% year over year.

Definitions and reconciliations of EBITDA and Recurring EBITDA to net income attributable to Inland Real Estate Corporation are provided at the end of this news release.

Recurring EBITDA coverage of interest expense was 3.8 times for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 compared to 3.3 times for the fourth quarter of 2013. The Company has provided EBITDA and related non-GAAP coverage ratios because it believes EBITDA and the related ratios provide useful supplemental measures in evaluating the Company's operating performance because expenses that may not be indicative of operating performance are excluded.

On October 16, 2014, the Company issued 4,000,000 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock at a public offering price of $25 per share, for net proceeds of approximately $96.9 million, after the underwriting discount but before expenses. The Company used the net proceeds of the offering to purchase additional properties to be owned by the Company or one or more of its joint ventures, and for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of indebtedness. The Series B Preferred Stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "IRCPrB."

In addition, in December, the Company redeemed for cash all of its outstanding 5.0% Convertible Senior Notes, due 2029, totaling $29.2 million.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had an equity market capitalization (common shares) of $1.1 billion, outstanding preferred stock of $210.0 million (at face value), and total debt outstanding of $1.0 billion (including the pro-rata share of debt in unconsolidated joint ventures) for a total market capitalization of $2.3 billion. The Company's debt-to-total market capitalization was 43.2% as of December 31, 2014, compared to 46.8% one year ago. At year-end 2014, approximately 55.2% of total debt bore interest at fixed rates, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.14%. The overall weighted average interest rate, including variable rate debt, was 3.69% as of December 31, 2014.

Acquisitions

In October, the Company acquired for its wholly-owned portfolio the 109,000-square-foot Prairie Crossings power center in the Chicago suburb of Frankfort, Ill., for $24.7 million in cash, excluding closing costs and prorations. The 99%-leased Prairie Crossings is anchored by Bed Bath & Beyond, Sports Authority and Office Depot, and shadow-anchored by a Kohl's. The acquisitions of Prairie Crossing during the quarter and the nearby Mokena Marketplace earlier in the year are an example of the Company's strategy of clustering assets to facilitate leasing and operating efficiencies.

During the quarter, the Company also purchased for $3.0 million a fully-entitled 13.0-acre vacant land parcel in Rainbow City, Ala., which is being developed in conjunction with MAB American Retail Partners, LLC, into a 65,000-square-foot, Publix-anchored shopping center which was approximately 74% pre-leased at acquisition. Construction on the Shoppes at Rainbow Landing began at the end of October, with the Publix store anticipated to open in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Dispositions

During the quarter, the Company sold a 6,700-square-foot outlot at its Park Square neighborhood center in Brooklyn Park, Minn., for approximately $2.0 million and a 1.8 acre parcel at its North Aurora Towne Center development in North Aurora, Ill., for $1.5 million, and recorded a combined gain on sale of approximately $2.1 million.

Joint Venture Activity

In October, the Company's joint venture with PGGM purchased Newport Pavilion Phase II in Newport, Ky., located near downtown Cincinnati in a high-barrier-to-entry trade area, for $23.6 million in cash, subject to future earnout payments. Newport Pavilion Phase II aggregates 115,000 square feet including ground leases, which is leased to Dick's Sporting Goods, TJ Maxx, Buffalo Wild Wings, Panera, Chipotle, and others. Including Phase I, which was acquired by the IRC-PGGM venture last summer, the Kroger-anchored Newport Pavilion shopping center encompasses 337,000 square feet including ground leases and was 94% leased at year end. The total purchase price for Newport Pavilion Phases I and II was $66.9 million, subject to future earnout payments, which may aggregate a total of approximately $13 million.

In October, the Company's joint venture with PGGM, in partnership with IBT Group LLC and Pine Tree Commercial Realty LLC, began construction of the 133,000-square-foot Pulaski Promenade, a power center located on the southwest side of Chicago, Ill. Pulaski Promenade's in-line space is over 80% pre-leased to Marshalls, Ross Dress for Less, Michaels, PetSmart and Shoe Carnival, with store openings expected to begin in the spring of 2016. Upon completion of construction and stabilization, the IRC-PGGM joint venture has the option to acquire 100% ownership in the property at a pre-negotiated purchase price.

Also in October, the Company's joint venture with Thompson Thrift Development, Inc. commenced construction of Tanglewood Pavilions, a 158,000-square-foot regional power center located in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. Tanglewood Pavilions is approximately 70% pre-leased to Hobby Lobby, TJMaxx, Ross Dress for Less and Dollar Tree, and leases are in negotiation for another 24,000 square feet of space that would bring the center to 84% pre-leased occupancy. Deliveries to tenants are scheduled to commence prior to the fall of 2015. After completion of construction and stabilization, IRC will acquire 100% ownership of the center at a pre-negotiated purchase price.

In December, construction was completed on the Evergreen Promenade grocery-anchored development in the Chicago suburb of Evergreen Park, Ill. The 96-percent-leased, 92,488-square-foot community center is anchored by PetSmart which opened in December and Mariano's which celebrated its grand opening in early February.

After the close of the quarter, the Company's joint venture with PGGM acquired the 100-percent-leased, 113,000-square-foot Argonne Village shopping center in Lakeville, Minn., for $26.3 million. Argonne Village is a Class A neighborhood center anchored by a new Cub Foods grocery store and Dollar Tree, which are complemented by a strong line-up of tenants that includes national retailers such as Starbucks, Taco Bell, Little Caesars, FedEx Office and Great Clips. The property is located in a high traffic and strong demographic trade area approximately 20 miles south of Minneapolis.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We consider FFO a widely accepted and appropriate measure of performance for a REIT. FFO provides a supplemental measure to compare our performance and operations to other REITs. Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, NAREIT has promulgated a standard known as FFO, which it believes more accurately reflects the operating performance of a REIT such as ours. As defined by NAREIT, FFO means net income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of operating property, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated entities in which the REIT holds an interest. In addition, NAREIT has further clarified the FFO definition to add-back impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate or of investments in unconsolidated entities that are driven by measurable decreases in the fair value of depreciable real estate. Under U.S. GAAP, impairment charges reduce net income. While impairment charges are added back in the calculation of FFO, we caution that because impairments to the value of any property are typically based on reductions in estimated future undiscounted cash flows compared to current carrying value, declines in the undiscounted cash flows which led to the impairment charges reflect declines in property operating performance that may be permanent. We have adopted the NAREIT definition for computing FFO. Recurring FFO includes adjustments to FFO for the impact of lease termination income, certain gains and non-cash impairment charges of non-depreciable real estate, net of taxes recorded in comparable periods, in order to present the performance of our core portfolio operations. Management uses the calculation of FFO and Recurring FFO for several reasons. FFO is used in certain employment agreements we have with our executives to determine a portion of incentive compensation payable to them. Additionally, we use FFO and Recurring FFO to compare our performance to that of other REITs in our peer group. The calculation of FFO and Recurring FFO may vary from entity to entity since capitalization and expense policies tend to vary from entity to entity. Items that are capitalized do not impact FFO and Recurring FFO whereas items that are expensed reduce FFO and Recurring FFO. Consequently, our presentation of FFO and Recurring FFO may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other REITs. FFO and Recurring FFO do not represent cash flows from operations as defined by U.S. GAAP, are not indicative of cash available to fund cash flow needs and liquidity, including our ability to pay distributions, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for purposes of evaluating our operating performance.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (unaudited)

(in thousands, except per share data)

 
 

EBITDA is defined as earnings (losses) from operations excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) income tax benefit or expenses; (3) depreciation and amortization expense; and (4) gains (loss) on non-operating property. We believe EBITDA is useful to us and to an investor as a supplemental measure in evaluating our financial performance because it excludes expenses that we believe may not be indicative of our operating performance. By excluding interest expense, EBITDA measures our financial performance regardless of how we finance our operations and capital structure. By excluding depreciation and amortization expense, we believe we can more accurately assess the performance of our portfolio. Because EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges such as interest expense and taxes and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements, it does not reflect the amount of capital needed to maintain our properties nor does it reflect trends in interest costs due to changes in interest rates or increases in borrowing. EBITDA should be considered only as a supplement to net earnings and may be calculated differently by other equity REITs.

 

We believe EBITDA is an important non-GAAP measure. We utilize EBITDA to calculate our interest expense coverage ratio, which equals EBITDA divided by total interest expense. We believe that using EBITDA, which excludes the effect of non-operating expenses and non-cash charges, all of which are based on historical cost and may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance, facilitates comparison of core operating profitability between periods and between REITs, particularly in light of the use of EBITDA by a seemingly large number of REITs in their reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-K. We believe that investors should consider EBITDA in conjunction with net income and the other required U.S. GAAP measures of our performance to improve their understanding of our operating results. Recurring EBITDA includes adjustments to EBITDA for the impact of least termination income and non-cash impairment charges in comparable periods in order to present the performance of our core portfolio operations.

Same Store Net Operating Income (unaudited)

(in thousands, except per share data)

 
 

Same store net operating income, which is the net operating income of properties owned during the same periods during each year, is considered a non-GAAP financial measure because it does not include straight-line rental income, amortization of lease intangibles, lease termination income, interest, depreciation, amortization and bad debt expense. We provide same store net operating income as another metric to compare the results of property operations for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. We also provide a reconciliation of these amounts to the most comparable GAAP measure, net income attributable to common stockholders.
