BRT APARTMENTS CORP. REPORTS
FIRST FISCAL QUARTER RESULTS
FOR DECEMBER 31, 2017

Net Income of $0.45 and $1.13 per fully diluted share in First Fiscal Quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively
Grows FFO to $0.20 per fully diluted share from $0.14 per fully diluted share
Increases AFFO to $0.26 per fully diluted share from $0.21 per fully diluted share

Great Neck, New York - February 9, 2018 - BRT APARTMENTS CORP. (NYSE: BRT), a growing multi-family real estate investment trust with properties located primarily in the Southeast United States and Texas today announced operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2017, the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2018.

Fiscal First Quarter 2018 Highlights

Increases rental revenues by 12.5% as compared to the corresponding prior year period.

Net income of $0.45 per fully diluted share compared to $1.13 in the corresponding period of the prior year. The 2018 and 2017 quarters include $0.70 and $1.35, respectively, of net income per fully diluted share from gains on property sales, after giving effect to $0.18 and $1.23 per fully diluted share, respectively, of non-controlling interests.

Grows FFO 42.9% to $0.20 per fully diluted share from $0.14 per fully diluted share in the 2017 quarter.

Increases AFFO 23.8% to $0.26 per fully diluted share from $0.21 per fully diluted share in the 2017 quarter.

Jeffrey A. Gould, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: “Our strong results in the first quarter reflect a culmination of portfolio repositioning activities during the last 12 months. While we expect to slow our sales activity in 2018, we will continue to selectively sell assets that no longer fit our longer-term strategy. Our pipeline remains full and we are prepared to redeploy our capital into accretive acquisitions as these selective sales occur. We are identifying attractive investment opportunities with value-add components that can add incremental growth above current rents as the properties are improved. We continue to target high-growth employment and population markets and are focused on creating value for our stockholders.”


Financial Results:
    
Net income attributable to common stockholders was $6.4 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, for the current three months, compared to net income of $15.8 million, or $1.13 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2016. The 2018 and 2017 quarters include $0.70 and $1.35, respectively, of net income per fully diluted share from gains on property sales, after giving effect to $0.18 and $1.23, per fully diluted share, respectively, of non-controlling interests.

Funds from Operations1 , or FFO, for the current quarter grew 42.9% to $0.20 per fully diluted share, from $0.14 per fully diluted share in the three months ended December 31, 2016. FFO for the current period was $2.9 million compared to $1.9 million in the corresponding period of the prior year. Adjusted Funds from Operations, or AFFO, for the 2018 fiscal quarter grew 23.8% to $0.26 per fully diluted share, from $0.21 per fully diluted share, in the corresponding prior year period. AFFO in the 2018 quarter was $3.7 million compared to $2.9 million in the 2017 quarter.

Operating Results:
    
As of February 9, 2018, BRT owns or has interests in 37 multi-family properties with 10,690 units, including properties in lease-up, under development, or owned by unconsolidated joint ventures, located across 11 states. Many of these properties are owned through consolidated joint ventures in which BRT owns a substantial equity interest.

 

____________________________
1A description and reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures is presented later in this release.,






During the current quarter, average total occupancy at stabilized properties was approximately 93.7%, compared to approximately 93.2% during the 2017 quarter. Average rental rate per occupied unit at stabilized properties during the current quarter was approximately $967 per month compared to approximately $894 per month during the 2017 quarter. Stabilized properties include all our consolidated properties, other than those in lease-up or development, and for the 2018 quarter, also excludes a Katy, Texas property that was damaged by Hurricane Harvey.

Rental and other revenues from real estate properties for the current three months increased 12.8% to $28.2 million from $25.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016.

Total expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 were $32.3 million compared to $28.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 due primarily to increases in depreciation, interest expense and operating expense from the seven multi-family properties acquired since January 1, 2017.

Portfolio Activity:

During the current quarter, BRT acquired two multi-family properties with 324 units for a purchase price of $30.4 million, including $24.2 million of mortgage debt, and sold one property for a sales price of $22.3 million and a gain, net of non-controlling interests of $2.5 million, of $10 million.

Balance Sheet:

At December 31, 2017, BRT had: $21.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, including $8.1 million of restricted cash; total assets, net of accumulated depreciation, of $1.0 billion; total debt, net of deferred costs, of $749.1 million; and total stockholders’ equity of $170.4 million.

BRT’s mortgage debt of $712.1 million, net of deferred costs, has a weighted average interest rate of 4.07% and a weighted average remaining term to maturity of 6.9 years. Approximately 90.3% of the mortgage debt bears interest at a fixed rate. The balance of such debt represents short term or construction financing for properties in lease-up or development; BRT anticipates refinancing such debt when lease-up and development are complete.
 

Subsequent Events:

As previously reported, in February, BRT sold The Fountains Apartments and estimates that its share of the gain on this sale, net of non-controlling interests of approximately $20.5 million, will be approximately $21.3 million. BRT, through a joint venture in which it has a 50% equity interest, also acquired The Avenue Apartments for $71.3 million, including $53.1 million of mortgage debt.

Supplemental Financial Information:

In an effort to enhance its financial disclosures to investors, BRT has posted a supplemental financial information report which can be accessed on the Company’s website at www.brtapartments.com under the caption “Investor Relations - Financial Statements and SEC Filings.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

BRT discloses FFO and AFFO because it believes that such metrics are widely recognized and appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT.

BRT computes FFO in accordance with the "White Paper on Funds from Operations" issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") and NAREIT's related guidance. FFO is defined in the White Paper as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with generally accepting accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, plus impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. In computing FFO, BRT does not add back to net income the amortization of costs in connection with its financing activities or depreciation of non-real estate assets. BRT computes AFFO by adjusting FFO for loss on extinguishment of debt; straight-line rent accruals; restricted stock and restricted stock unit





expense and deferred mortgage costs (including its share of its unconsolidated joint ventures). Since the NAREIT White Paper only provides guidelines for computing FFO, the computation of AFFO may vary from one REIT to another.

BRT believes that FFO and AFFO are useful and standard supplemental measures of the operating performance for equity REITs and are used frequently by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating equity REITs, many of which present FFO and AFFO when reporting their operating results. FFO and AFFO are intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, which assures that the value of real estate assets diminish predictability over time. In fact, real estate values have historically risen and fallen with market conditions. As a result, BRT believes that FFO and AFFO provide a performance measure that when compared year over year, should reflect the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, interest costs and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation and amortization, providing a perspective that may not be necessarily apparent from net income. BRT also considers FFO and AFFO to be useful in evaluating potential property acquisitions.

FFO and AFFO do not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP. FFO and AFFO should not be considered to be an alternative to net income as a reliable measure of our operating performance; nor should FFO and AFFO be considered an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities (as defined by GAAP) as measures of liquidity.

Forward Looking Information:

Certain information contained herein is forward looking within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding the apparent improvement in the economic environment and BRT’s ability to originate additional loans.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES DEFINITIONS AND RECONCILIATIONS (dollars in thousands) 9 We define NOI as total property revenues less total property operating expenses. Property operating expenses exclude, among other things, depreciation and interest expense on the related property. Other REIT’s may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to other REIT’s. We believe NOI provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP operating income or net (loss) income. NOI is one of the measures we use to evaluate our performance because it (i) measures the core operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses and other items unrelated to property operating performance and (ii) captures trends in rental housing and property operating expenses. However, NOI should only be used as an alternative measure of our financial performance. The following table provides a reconciliation of NOI to net income attributable to common stock holders as computed in accordance with GAAP for the periods presented: 2017 (Unaudited) 2016 (Unaudited) GAAP Net income attributable to common stockholders 6,351$ 15,770$ Less: Other Income (187) (611) A d: Interest xpense 7,980 6,687 G ral a administrative 2,303 2,597 Depreciation 8,648 6,297 Less: Gain on sale of real estate (12,519) (35,838) Add: Loss on extinguishment of debt 257 799 Equity in loss of unconsolidated joint ventures 25 - Provision for taxes 106 350 Add: Net income attributable to non-controlling interests 1,851 16,532 Net Operating Income 14,815$ 12,583$ Quarter ended December 31,


 
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES DEFINITIONS AND RECONCILIATIONS (dollars in thousands) 10 Funds from Operations (FFO) FFO is a non-GAAP financial performance measure defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts and is widely recognized by investors and analysts as one measure of operating performance of a REIT. The FFO calculation excludes items such as real estate depreciation and amortization, gains and losses on the sale of real estate assets and impairment on depreciable assets. Historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, it is management’s view, and we believe the view of many industry investors and analysts, that the presentation of operating results for a REIT using the historical accounting for depreciation is insufficient. FFO excludes gains and losses from the sale of real estate, which we believe provides management and investors with a helpful additional measure of the performance of our real estate portfolio, as it allows for comparisons, year to year, that reflect the impact on operations from trends in items such as occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general, administrative and other expenses, and interest expenses. Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) AFFO, as defined by us, excludes from FFO straight line rent adjustments, loss on extinguishment of debt, amortization of restricted stock and RSU expense and amortization of deferred mortgage costs. Management believes that excluding acquisition-related expenses from AFFO provides investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with the performance models and analysis used by management and provides investors a view of the performance of our portfolio over time, including after the time we cease to acquire properties on a frequent and regular basis. We believe that AFFO enables investors to compare the performance of our portfolio with other REITs that have not recently engaged in acquisitions, as well as a comparison of our performance with that of other non-traded REITs, as AFFO, or an equivalent measure is routinely reported by non-traded REITs, and we believe often used by analysts and investors for comparison purposes. Debt Service Coverage Ratio Debt service coverage ratio is net operating income ("NOI") divided by total debt service. Total Debt Service Total debt service is the cash required to cover the repayment of interest and principal on a debt for a particular period. Total debt service is used in the calculation of the debt service coverage ratio which is used to determine the borrower’s ability to make debt service payments. Stabilized Properties Stabilized properties include all our consolidated properties, other than those in lease-up or development, and for the 2018 quarter, also excludes a Katy, Texas property that was damaged by Hurricane Harvey. Same Store Same store refers to stabilized properties that we and our consolidated joint ventures owned and operated for the entirety of both periods being compared.
