CLEVELAND, April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Developers Diversified Realty today announced operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010.
-- The Company's first quarter operating Funds From Operations ("FFO") was $65.2 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, before $36.8 million of net charges. The net charges, primarily non-cash, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are summarized as follows (in millions): Non-cash loss on equity derivative instruments related to Otto investment $24.9 Executive separation charge 2.1 Non-cash impairment charges - consolidated assets 2.1 Consolidated impairment charges and loss on sales included in discontinued operations 2.4 Debt extinguishment costs and other expenses 3.1 FFO associated with Mervyns joint venture, net of non-controlling interest 2.0 Loss on asset sales - equity method investments 1.3 Gain on repurchases of senior notes (1.1) ---- $36.8 ===== -- The Company reported operating FFO for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 of $85.0 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, before $55.0 million of net gains. The net gains for the three months ended March 31, 2009 are summarized as follows (in millions): Gain on repurchases of senior notes $72.6 Non-cash impairment charges - consolidated assets (10.9) Loss on disposition of joint venture investment (5.8) Non-cash impairment charge on equity method investment (0.9) $55.0 ===== -- FFO applicable to common shareholders for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, including the above net charges, was $28.4 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, which compares to FFO of $140.0 million, or $1.08 per diluted share, for the prior-year comparable period. Net loss applicable to common shareholders for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 was $34.8 million, or a loss of $0.15 per diluted share, which compares to net income of $76.8 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, for the prior-year comparable period. -- Executed leases during the first quarter of 2010 totaled a Company record of approximately 2.6 million square feet, including 180 new leases and 242 renewals, which includes 0.3 million square feet of leases executed for managed assets. -- On a cash basis, leasing spreads on new leases and renewals on a combined basis decreased 2.9% for the first quarter, an improvement over fourth quarter results. -- Core portfolio leased percentage at March 31, 2010 was 91.3% compared to 91.2% at December 31, 2009. -- Same store net operating income ("NOI") for the quarter decreased 2.6% over the prior-year comparable period.
"We are very pleased with the results from operations and the overall performance of our platform. Leasing velocity continues to improve as tenant sales advance, quality space becomes increasingly scarce and newly constructed opportunities are relatively non-existent. Moreover, in the first quarter, we continued to enhance the strength of our balance sheet, meaningfully improve liquidity and extend our debt maturities. This progress was achieved through our continued focus on long-term capital market strategies consistent with our stated goals," commented Developers Diversified's president and chief executive officer, Daniel B. Hurwitz.
Financial Results:
Net loss applicable to common shareholders was $34.8 million, or a loss of $0.15 per share (diluted and basic), for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, as compared to net income of $76.8 million, or $0.59 per share (diluted and basic), for the prior-year comparable period.
FFO applicable to common shareholders was $28.4 million, or $0.12 per share (diluted and basic), for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, as compared to FFO of $140.0 million, or $1.08 per share (diluted and basic) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in FFO for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, is primarily the result of a decrease in the gain recognized on the repurchases of senior notes, the loss on equity derivative instruments and the impact of 2009 asset sales.
FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measurement used as a standard in the real estate industry and a widely accepted measure of real estate investment trust ("REIT") performance. Management believes that FFO and operating FFO provide additional indicators of the financial performance of a REIT. The Company also believes that FFO and operating FFO more appropriately measure the core operations of the Company and provide benchmarks to its peer group. Neither FFO nor operating FFO represents cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), is necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should be considered as an alternative to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. FFO is defined and calculated by the Company as net income, adjusted to exclude: (i) preferred share dividends, (ii) gains from disposition of depreciable real estate property, except for those sold through the Company's merchant building program, which are presented net of taxes, and those gains that represent the recapture of a previously recognized impairment charge, (iii) extraordinary items and (iv) certain non-cash items. These non-cash items principally include real property depreciation and amortization of intangibles, equity income from joint ventures and equity income from non-controlling interests and adding the Company's proportionate share of FFO from its unconsolidated joint ventures and non-controlling interests, determined on a consistent basis. The Company calculates operating FFO by excluding the non-operating net charges and gains described above. Other real estate companies may calculate FFO and operating FFO in a different manner. FFO excluding the net non-operating items detailed above is useful to investors as the Company removes these charges and gains to analyze the results of its operations and assess performance of the core operating real estate portfolio. A reconciliation of net (loss) income to FFO is presented in the financial highlights section.
Leasing:
The following results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, highlight continued strong leasing activity throughout the portfolio including a Company record for executed deals despite the current economic environment:
-- Executed 180 new leases aggregating approximately 1.2 million square feet and 242 renewals aggregating approximately 1.4 million square feet, which includes 0.3 million square feet of leases executed for managed assets. -- Total portfolio average annualized base rent per occupied square foot, excluding assets in Brazil, as of March 31, 2010 was $12.37, as compared to $12.29 at March 31, 2009. -- Core portfolio leased rate was 91.3% as of March 31, 2010, as compared to 90.7% at March 31, 2009. -- On a cash basis, leasing spreads for new leases decreased by 5.9% and renewals decreased by 1.9%. This marks an improvement from the decrease of 15.3% for new leases reported in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Overall, the Company remains encouraged by the leasing activity achieved during the first quarter. While the resulting rental spreads and core occupancy levels are much less favorable than what the Company has historically achieved, the Company is continuing to make strides in retenanting the bankruptcy driven vacancies that have impacted the retail sector.
Dispositions:
The Company sold five consolidated shopping center properties, aggregating 0.9 million square feet, in the first quarter of 2010, generating gross proceeds of approximately $30.9 million. The Company recorded an aggregate net gain on sale of approximately $0.6 million related to these assets in the first quarter.
In March 2010, the DDRTC Core Retail Fund LLC, an unconsolidated investment in which the Company has an approximate 15% ownership interest, sold 16 shopping center assets for $424.3 million. This transaction resulted in a loss of $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, of which the Company's proportionate share was $1.3 million.
Wholly-Owned and Consolidated Joint Venture Development:
The Company currently has the following wholly-owned and consolidated joint venture shopping center projects under construction:
Expected Initial Remaining Anchor Cost ($ Opening Location Owned GLA Millions) * Description -------- --------- --------- ------- ----------- Community Boise (Nampa), Idaho 431.7 $17.1 2H 07 Center Community Austin (Kyle), Texas ** 443.1 16.5 2H 09 Center ----- ---- Total 874.8 $33.6 * 2H = Second Half ** Consolidated 50% Joint Venture
In addition to these projects, which will be developed in phases, the Company and its joint venture partners intend to commence construction on various other developments only after substantial tenant leasing has occurred and acceptable construction financing is available, including several international projects.
Wholly-Owned and Consolidated Joint Venture Redevelopments and Expansions:
The Company is currently expanding/redeveloping a wholly-owned shopping center in Miami (Plantation), Florida, at a projected aggregate net cost of approximately $48.1 million. At March 31, 2010, approximately $24.0 million of costs had been incurred in relation to the redevelopment of this project.
Financings:
In March 2010, the Company issued $300 million, 7.5% senior unsecured notes due April 2017. The notes were offered at 99.995% of par with a yield to maturity of 7.5%. Proceeds from the offering were used to repay debt with shorter-term maturities and to repay amounts outstanding on the Company's unsecured credit facilities.
In the first quarter of 2010, the Company purchased approximately $155.9 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding senior unsecured notes at a discount to par, resulting in a gross gain of approximately $4.1 million prior to the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs. Included in the first quarter purchases was $83.1 million principal amount of near-term outstanding senior unsecured notes repurchased through a cash tender offer at par in March 2010. The first quarter purchases primarily included debt maturing in 2010 and 2011.
The Company also prepaid $130 million of near-term secured debt as well as reduced the amounts outstanding under its revolving credit facilities by nearly $430 million during the first quarter of 2010.
Through the above financing activities, the Company continued to extend the weighted average term of its debt maturities.
Equity Issuances:
In February 2010, the Company issued approximately 42.9 million of its common shares in an underwritten offering for net proceeds of approximately $338.1 million. In January 2010, the Company also sold approximately 5.0 million of its common shares through its continuous equity program, generating gross proceeds of approximately $46.1 million. Substantially all net proceeds from equity issuances were used to repay debt.
Guidance:
The Company has revised guidance to reflect the effects of capital raising activities completed in the first quarter. The Company estimates operating FFO for the year of $1.00-$1.05 per diluted share. The change in guidance is entirely attributed to capital raising activities in the first quarter that were larger than expected and occurred earlier in the year than budgeted. Operational and asset sale assumptions provided in a press release on January 12, 2010 remain the same.
