Franklin Street Properties Corp. Announces Third Quarter 2018 Results

Franklin Street Properties Corp. (the “Company”, “FSP”, “we” or “our”) (NYSE American: FSP), a real estate investment trust (REIT), announced its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018.

George J. Carter, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented as follows:

“For the third quarter of 2018, FSP’s Funds from Operations or FFO totaled approximately $26.2 million or $0.24 per share. Leasing activity continued to be strong within our property portfolio during the quarter and we are currently seeing that activity extend into the fourth quarter of 2018. We also saw increased leasing in our energy influenced markets of Houston and Denver and anticipate further occupancy gains in those markets during the balance of the year as well as 2019. Dispositions during the quarter of the properties owned by two of our single-asset REITs in which FSP had a financial interest provided initial cash proceeds totaling approximately $74.9 million, which was used for debt reduction. These dispositions are projected to have the net effect of reducing FFO for the fourth quarter and full year 2018, and are reflected in our updated FFO guidance. A recast of two of our existing unsecured term loans totaling $370 million during the quarter moved out our near term debt maturities, achieved future interest cost savings and maintained corporate liquidity for anticipated future leasing costs. We remain optimistic about achieving meaningful value creation within our property portfolio during 2018 and 2019, while maintaining our financial capabilities to help achieve those results.”

Highlights

  • FFO was $26.2 million or $0.24 per basic and diluted share for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018. We had Net Income of $9.6 million or $0.09 per basic and diluted share for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018.
  • Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) was $0.12 per basic and diluted share for the third quarter of 2018.
  • During the third quarter we recast $370 million of our unsecured term loans with our bank group and extended maturities of these loans, with $205 million now maturing in November 2021, and $165 million now maturing in January 2024. As a result, we have no scheduled debt maturities for the next three years. The lending spreads on these loans decreased, which we anticipate will decrease interest costs approximately $1 million on an annualized basis while outstanding based on our current credit rating.
  • We reduced debt $81 million during the third quarter, primarily from application of approximately $74.9 million in cash proceeds from dispositions of the properties owned by two of our single-asset REITs in which we had a financial interest.

Leasing Update

  • Our directly owned real estate portfolio of 34 properties totaling approximately 9.8 million square feet was approximately 90.5% leased as of September 30, 2018, which was a 1.5% increase compared to June 30, 2018.
  • During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we leased approximately 515,000 square feet, of which approximately 177,000 square feet was with new tenants. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we leased approximately 1,283,000 square feet, of which approximately 343,000 square feet was with new tenants.
  • The portfolio assets in our five core markets reached a three-year high point of 88.0% leased occupancy as of September 30, 2018, primarily from leasing improvements in our Denver and Houston assets.
    • Our core market of Denver’s leased percentage increased to 89.6% as of September 30, 2018, up from 87.5% leased as of June 30, 2018.
    • Our core market of Houston’s leased percentage increased to 85.1% as of September 30, 2018, up from 79.3% leased as of June 30, 2018.
  • FSP expects the overall trend of improving leased occupancy in our core five markets to continue into 2019.

Acquisition and Disposition Update

  • On July 19, 2018, one of our single-asset REITs, FSP Grand Boulevard Corp., sold the property owned by it to a third party. On August 17, 2018, we received an initial cash distribution of $5.9 million in consideration of the financial interest we previously held.
  • On September 24, 2018, one of our single-asset REITs, FSP 303 East Wacker Drive Corp., sold the property owned by it to a third party. On September 27, 2018, we received an initial cash distribution of $69 million in consideration of the financial interest we previously held.
  • We anticipate potential additional disposition activity within our managed portfolio during the remainder of 2018 and/or 2019.

Reconciliation and Definitions of Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and
Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”)

A reconciliation of Net income (loss) to FFO and AFFO is shown below and a definition of FFO and AFFO is provided on Supplementary Schedule I. Management believes FFO and AFFO are used broadly throughout the real estate investment trust (REIT) industry as measurements of performance. The Company has included the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) FFO definition as of May 17, 2016 in the table and notes that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently. The Company’s computation of FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to FFO or AFFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies that define FFO or AFFO differently.

Funds From Operations (“FFO”)

The Company evaluates performance based on Funds From Operations, which we refer to as FFO, as management believes that FFO represents the most accurate measure of activity and is the basis for distributions paid to equity holders. The Company defines FFO as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, hedge ineffectiveness and acquisition costs of newly acquired properties that are not capitalized, plus depreciation and amortization, including amortization of acquired above and below market lease intangibles and impairment charges on properties or investments in non-consolidated REITs, and after adjustments to exclude equity in income or losses from, and, to include the proportionate share of FFO from, non-consolidated REITs.

FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss (determined in accordance with GAAP), nor as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance, nor as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), nor as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, nor is it necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company’s needs.

Other real estate companies and NAREIT may define this term in a different manner. We have included the NAREIT FFO as of May 17, 2016 in the table and note that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the results of the Company, FFO should be examined in connection with net income or loss and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in the consolidated financial statements.

Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”)

The Company also evaluates performance based on Adjusted Funds From Operations, which we refer to as AFFO. The Company defines AFFO as (1) FFO, (2) excluding our proportionate share of FFO and including distributions received, from non-consolidated REITs, (3) excluding the effect of straight-line rent, (4) plus deferred financing costs and (5) less recurring capital expenditures that are generally for maintenance of properties, which we call non-investment capex or are second generation capital expenditures. Second generation costs include re-tenanting space after a tenant vacates, which include tenant improvements and leasing commissions.

We exclude development/redevelopment activities, capital expenditures planned at acquisition and costs to reposition a property. We also exclude first generation leasing costs, which are generally to fill vacant space in properties we acquire or were planned for at acquisition.

AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss (determined in accordance with GAAP), nor as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance, nor as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), nor as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, nor is it necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company’s needs. Other real estate companies may define this term in a different manner. We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the results of the Company, AFFO should be examined in connection with net income or loss and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in the consolidated financial statements.

Supplementary Schedule I
Reconciliation and Definition of Sequential Same Store results to property Net Operating Income (NOI) and
Net Income (Loss)

Net Operating Income (“NOI”)

The Company provides property performance based on Net Operating Income, which we refer to as NOI. Management believes that investors are interested in this information. NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company defines as net income or loss (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) plus general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, including amortization of acquired above and below market lease intangibles and impairment charges, interest expense, less equity in earnings of nonconsolidated REITs, interest income, management fee income, hedge ineffectiveness, gains or losses on the sale of assets and excludes non-property specific income and expenses. The information presented includes footnotes and the data is shown by region with properties owned in the periods presented, which we call Sequential Same Store. The comparative Sequential Same Store results include properties held for the periods presented and exclude properties that are non-operating, being developed or redeveloped, dispositions and significant nonrecurring income such as bankruptcy settlements and lease termination fees. NOI, as defined by the Company, may not be comparable to NOI reported by other REITs that define NOI differently. NOI should not be considered an alternative to net income or loss as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of the Company’s liquidity or its ability to make distributions. The calculations of NOI and Sequential Same Store are shown in the following table:
