Plymouth Industrial REIT Reports Second Quarter 2017 Results
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. (NYSE America: PLYM) (the “Company”) today announced its consolidated financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 and other recent developments. A comparison of the reported amounts per share for the second quarter of 2017 to prior-year periods has been affected by an increase in the common stock outstanding resulting from the completion of, and the use of proceeds from, the Company’s initial listed public offering (the “IPO") in June 2017, as discussed below.
Highlights
- Completed the sale of 3,060,000 shares of common stock in its IPO in June 2017, including the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, for gross proceeds of $58.1 million.
- Subsequent to the second quarter of 2017, closed on and signed definitive agreements to acquire 17 buildings totaling 1.6 million square feet for total consideration of $54.4 million in four separate transactions.
- Closed on a new, three-year $35 million secured revolving credit facility with KeyBank to fund additional growth investments.
- Reported results for the second quarter of 2017 attributable to common stockholders of net loss of $(1.26) per weighted average common share; Funds from Operations (“FFO”) of $(0.63) per weighted average common share; and Adjusted FFO (“AFFO”) of $(0.67) per weighted average common share.
- Declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.375 (pro-rated to $0.065 per share) for the period June 14 to June 30, 2017.
Jeff Witherell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Plymouth Industrial REIT, noted, “The strength of Plymouth’s investment strategy and the significant opportunity to acquire one-off and smaller industrial portfolios at attractive pricing in our target markets has been on clear display since our June IPO. In a few short weeks, we have closed on or agreed to completed acquisitions that are expected to add approximately $5.1 million in annualized rent to the portfolio that should begin to have an impact on our financial results beginning in the third quarter and with full effect in the fourth quarter and 2018. The portfolio remains well-occupied, and we are focused on new leasing and upcoming renewals that can capture additional rental growth and drive NOI.
“With proceeds from our IPO and the new credit facility with KeyBank closed this month, we have secured capital to execute on our initial growth opportunities. We have a robust pipeline of new investments in both new and existing markets. The increased borrowing capacity on the credit facility and use of our Operating Partnership units offer other avenues to fund these new opportunities.”
Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2017
The completion of the IPO on June 14, 2017, provided the Company with a meaningfully different capital structure compared to the prior-year period. The Company believes the use of IPO proceeds and related higher share count, makes year-over-year comparisons less meaningful, particularly on a per share basis.
Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, was $1.2 million, or $(1.26) per weighted average common share outstanding, compared with a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $11.2 million, or $(33.61) per weighted average common share, for the same period in 2016.
Consolidated total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, were $5.0 million, compared with $4.8 million for the same period in 2016.
Net operating income (NOI) for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, was $3.5 million compared with NOI of $3.4 million for the same period in 2016.
EBITDA for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, was $2.2 million compared with $2.6 million for the same period in 2016, primarily as a result of general and administrative expense incurred for professional services related to the IPO transactions.
FFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, was $(0.6) million, or $(0.63) per weighted average common share, compared with $(8.2) million, or $(8.84) per weighted average common share, for the same period in 2016. FFO was positively impacted by the reduction in interest expense of $7.8 million.
AFFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, was $(0.6) million, or $(0.67) per weighted average common share, compared with $(8.3) million, or $(8.99) per diluted share, for the same period in 2016, primarily as a result of the reduction in Interest expense.
Investment Activity
As of June 30, 2017, the Company had gross real estate investments totaling approximately $139.3 million, which was comprised of 20 industrial buildings totaling 4.0 million square feet with occupancy of 98.4%. The following summarizes the Company’s recent investment activity subsequent to the second quarter of 2017:
- On July 20, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of a six-property portfolio of Class A and Class B industrial buildings totaling 667,000 square feet in South Bend, Indiana for $26.0 million in cash at an initial yield of 9.2%.
- On July 24, 2017, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire the 235,066-square-foot, eight-property Airport Business Park in Memphis for $7.8 million in cash at an initial yield of 10.5% and a 121,440-square-foot warehouse in Columbus, Ohio for $3.7 million in cash at an initial yield of 8.2%. The acquisitions are expected to be completed within 30 days, subject to customary closing conditions.
- On August 11, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of two Class B industrial properties totaling 606,871 square feet in Indianapolis, Indiana for total consideration of $16.875 million, including $8.8 million in cash and the issuance of 425,150 units of Plymouth’s Operating Partnership valued at $19.00 per share. The properties are expected to generate an initial yield of 8.5%.
Financing Activity
On August 11, 2017, the Company closed on a $35.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with KeyBank National Association. The new facility matures in August 2020 and has one 12-month extension option. The credit facility, which has an accordion feature that allows total borrowing capacity under the facility to be increased up to $75 million, bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin between 250 and 300 basis points, depending on the Company’s leverage.
Initial Public Offering
On June 14, 2017, the Company completed the IPO in which it issued 2,900,000 shares, and on July 12, 2017, issued an additional 160,000 shares pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the IPO to redeem a non-controlling interest held by Torchlight for $25.0 million, consisting of $20.0 million in cash along with common stock of $5.0 million, or 263,158 shares at $19.00 per share.

The dividend was pro-rated to $0.065 per diluted share to reflect the period commencing on June 14, 2017, the IPO completion date, and ending on June 30, 2017.
