- Rental Income Increases 5.5% over Prior Year Quarter - Sold Two Retail Properties for a Sales Price of $15.3 Million and a Net Gain of $3.3 Million

November 7, 2017 4:54 PM EST

GREAT NECK, NEW YORK -- (Marketwired) -- 11/07/17 -- One Liberty Properties, Inc. (NYSE: OLP), a real estate investment trust focused on the ownership of net leased properties, today announced operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Patrick J. Callan, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of One Liberty stated, "We continued to execute on our strategic objectives during the third quarter, having successfully sold two retail assets for an aggregate sales price of $15.3 million, using the proceeds to pay down debt and fund the post-quarter acquisition of a distribution facility located in Memphis, Tennessee. We remain focused on enhancing and strengthening the quality of our platform. As we look to the end of 2017 and beyond, our balance sheet provides enhanced capacity and flexibility to support our growth objectives as we increase cash flow and build long term value for stockholders."

Operating Results:

Rental income grew 5.5% to $17.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, from $16.3 million in the corresponding quarter in the prior year, primarily due to properties acquired in 2016 and 2017.

Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2017 were $10.8 million compared to $9.8 million for the same period in 2016. Approximately $591,000 of the increase is due to additional depreciation and approximately $252,000 of the increase is due to additional real estate expenses, in each case as associated with the properties acquired in 2016 and 2017.

Net income attributable to One Liberty in the third quarter of 2017 was $7.1 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, compared to $4.3 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2016. Net income for the 2016 quarter includes $119,000, or less than $0.01 per diluted share, gain on the sale of real estate compared to the 2017 quarter which includes a $3.3 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, gain on the sale of real estate.

Funds from Operations, or FFO, was $9.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to $9.0 million in the corresponding quarter of 2016, with FFO per diluted share of $0.50 for the third quarter of 2017 and $0.51 for the corresponding quarter of 2016.

Adjusted Funds from Operations, or AFFO, was $9.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to $9.2 million in the corresponding quarter of the prior year, with AFFO per diluted share of $0.53 in the third quarter of 2017 and 2016.

The Company's per share results, and in particular, the per share FFO and AFFO results, were affected by the 6.4% increase over the past 12 months in the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding due to a combination of stock issuances pursuant to One Liberty's at-the-market, dividend reinvestment and equity incentive programs. A reconciliation of GAAP amounts to non-GAAP amounts is presented with the financial information included in this release.

Balance Sheet:

At September 30, 2017, the Company had $14.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, total assets of $737.6 million, total debt of $402.8 million, net of $4.7 million of deferred financing costs, and total stockholders' equity of $295.1 million.

At November 3, 2017, One Liberty's available liquidity was $99.3 million, including $12.7 million of cash and cash equivalents (net of the credit facility's required $3 million deposit maintenance balance) and $86.6 million available under its credit facility.

Dispositions:

In July 2017, the Company sold a retail property tenanted by Kohl's, located in Kansas City, Missouri, for a sales price of $10.3 million and a net gain of $2.2 million.

In August 2017, the Company sold a retail property formerly tenanted by hhgregg, Inc., located in Niles, Illinois, for $5.0 million and a net gain of $1.1 million.

Subsequent Events:

In October 2017, the Company acquired a 224,749 square foot distribution facility/corporate headquarters on 16.41 acres located in Memphis, Tennessee for $8.0 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

One Liberty 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 (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization (including amortization of deferred leasing costs), 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. One Liberty computes AFFO by adjusting from FFO for straight-line rent accruals and amortization of lease intangibles, deducting lease termination fees and gain on extinguishment of debt and adding back amortization of restricted stock compensation, amortization of costs in connection with its financing activities (including its share of its unconsolidated joint ventures) and debt prepayment costs. Since the NAREIT White Paper does not provide guidelines for computing AFFO, the computation of AFFO may vary from one REIT to another.

One Liberty 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 assumes 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, management 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. Management 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 operating, investing or financing activities 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 as an alternative to cash flows as measures of liquidity. FFO and AFFO do not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of the Company's cash needs.

Management recognizes that there are limitations in the use of FFO and AFFO. In evaluating the Company's performance, management is careful to examine GAAP measures such as net income and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities.
