Financial Results
Net income attributable to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2016 was $1.3 million or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to $1.9 million or $0.02 per diluted share for the same period in 2015. Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was ($0.7 million) or ($0.01) per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.8 million or $0.02 per diluted share for the same period in 2015.
NAREIT-defined FFO for the second quarter of 2016 was $12.1 million or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to $11.6 million or $0.14 per diluted share for the same period in 2015. NAREIT-defined FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $19.5 million or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to $21.6 million or $0.25 per diluted share for the same period in 2015. Operating FFO for the second quarter of 2016 was $12.6 million or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to $11.6 million or $0.14 per diluted share for the same period in 2015. Operating FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $24.6 million or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to $22.2 million or $0.26 per diluted share for the same period in 2015. The principal differences between Operating FFO and FFO are acquisition costs, redevelopment costs and management transition costs.
Portfolio Results
Same-property NOI for the second quarter of 2016 increased 1.5% excluding redevelopments and 0.6% including redevelopments, compared to the same period in 2015.
During the second quarter of 2016, the Company signed 33 leases for 137,800 square feet. On a comparable space basis, the Company leased 131,600 square feet at a positive lease spread of 8.4% on a cash basis (new leases increased 24.9% and renewals increased 6.5%). During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company signed 97 leases for 483,700 square feet. On a comparable space basis, the Company leased 451,000 square feet at a positive lease spread of 8.4% on a cash basis (new leases increased 7.0% and renewals increased 8.5%).
The Company's total portfolio, excluding properties held for sale, was 91.2% leased at June 30, 2016, compared to 91.6% at March 31, 2016 and 93.2% at June 30, 2015. The Company's same-property portfolio was 91.6% leased at June 30, 2016, compared to 91.9% at March 31, 2016 and 93.6% at June 30, 2015.
Balance Sheet
As of June 30, 2016, the Company had $168.0 million available under its revolving credit facility and reported net debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciations, and amortization (EBITDA) of 7.4 times.
On April 26, 2016, the Company closed on a $100.0 million seven-year unsecured term loan. The loan provides for delayed draws of the proceeds through October 26, 2016, (with no proceeds drawn at closing). The term loan is priced at LIBOR plus a spread based on the Company's leverage ratio. The Company also entered into a forward LIBOR swap agreement that results in an effective fixed interest rate of 3.2% beginning November 1, 2016, based on the Company's leverage ratio at closing.
On August 1, 2016, the Company completed a public offering of 5,750,000 common shares on a forward basis, which is expected to result in approximately $44.2 million of net proceeds, before adjustments for dividends paid and other administrative costs prior to settlement. The Company expects to physically settle the forward sale agreement in full, which settlement is expected to occur on one or more dates no later than approximately 12 months after the date of the related offering.
2016 Guidance
The Company raised the low end of its previously-announced 2016 Operating FFO guidance to a new range of $0.55 to $0.56 per diluted share and updated its NAREIT-defined FFO to a new range of $0.49 to $0.50 per diluted share. The difference between Operating FFO and NAREIT-defined FFO guidance for 2016 is principally attributable to acquisition costs, redevelopment costs and management transition costs.
Quarterly Dividends
The Company will pay a cash dividend of $0.05 per share on the Company's common stock and $0.453125 per share on the Company's 7.25% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock on August 22, 2016, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 12, 2016.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
NAREIT-defined FFO (FFO) is a widely recognized supplemental non-GAAP measure utilized to evaluate the financial performance of a REIT. The Company considers FFO to be an appropriate measure of its financial performance because it captures features particular to real estate performance by recognizing that real estate generally appreciates over time or maintains residual value to a much greater extent than other depreciable assets. The Company also considers Operating FFO to be an additional meaningful financial measure of financial performance because it excludes items the Company does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance, such as acquisition costs, amounts relating to early extinguishment of debt and preferred stock redemption costs, management transition costs and certain redevelopment costs. The Company believes Operating FFO further assists in comparing the Company's performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding such items. FFO and Operating FFO should be reviewed with GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, when trying to understand the Company's operating performance. A reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders to FFO and Operating FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 is detailed in the attached schedule.
EBITDA is a widely recognized supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. The Company computes EBITDA as net income from continuing operations, plus interest expense (including early extinguishment of debt costs), depreciation and amortization, minority interests share of consolidated joint venture EBITDA and discontinued operations. The Company believes EBITDA provides additional information with respect to the Company's performance and ability to meet its future debt service requirements. The Company also considers Adjusted EBITDA to be an additional meaningful financial measure of financial performance because it excludes items the Company does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance, such as acquisition costs, gain on sales, impairment provisions and management transition charges. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA further assists in comparing the Company's performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding such items. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should be reviewed with GAAP net income from continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, when trying to understand the Company's operating performance.
Same-property NOI is a widely recognized supplemental non-GAAP financial measure for REITs. Properties are included in same-property NOI if they are owned and operated for the entirety of both periods being compared, except for properties undergoing significant redevelopment and expansion until such properties have stabilized, and properties classified as held for sale. Consistent with the capital treatment of such costs under GAAP, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and other direct leasing costs are excluded from same-property NOI. The Company considers same-property NOI useful to investors as it provides an indication of the recurring cash generated by the Company's properties by excluding certain non-cash revenues and expenses, as well as other infrequent items such as lease termination income which tends to fluctuate more than rents from year to year. Same property NOI should be reviewed with consolidated operating income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
