Non-Recurring Events and Impairment Charges
The following table summarizes our non-recurring events and impairment charges for the three months and year ended December 31, 2010 (in thousands):
                                 
    For the Three Months Ended     For the Year Ended  
    December 31,     December 31,     December 31,     December 31,

          1,359             1,359  
Gain on settlement from MEA Holdings, Inc. transaction
          (4,905 )           (4,905 )
For the three months ended December 31, 2010, we recorded goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, a deferred tax asset valuation allowance, and retirement compensation expense related to Mr. Cogdell. The impairment and the deferred tax asset valuation allowance primarily related to the Design-Build and Development business segment.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, in addition to the charges discussed above, we also recorded a second quarter goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges and retirement compensation expense related to the retirement of the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, Frank Spencer. The impairment related to the Design-Build and Development business segment.
Preferred Stock Issuance
In December 2010, we issued approximately 2.6 million shares of Series A 8.500% cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred stock, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $62.6 million. The net proceeds were used to repay the senior secured term facility (the “Term Loan”), to reduce borrowings under the Credit Facility, to fund build to suit development projects, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
Mortgage Note Payable
In November 2010, we entered into a mortgage note payable on the St. Francis Outpatient Surgery Center property. The $13.0 million note matures in November 2011, has an interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.25%, and requires monthly principal and interest payments based on a 30-year amortization.
Dividend
On December 17, 2010, we announced our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share and operating partnership unit that was paid in cash on January 19, 2011 to holders of record on December 27, 2010. The dividend covered the fourth quarter of 2010.
On February 1, 2011, we announced that our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.419 per share on our Series A cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred shares for the period from December 20, 2010, the date of original issue, to February 28, 2011. The dividend was paid on March 1, 2011, to holders of record on February 15, 2011.

 

 


 

Outlook
Our management team expects that FFOM per share and operating partnership unit for the year ending December 31, 2011 will be in a range of $0.33 to $0.40. Our guidance assumes the following: (i) acquisitions of $5.0 million to $25.0 million; (ii) no dispositions; (iii) developments of $40.0 million to $60.0 million; (iv) third party design-build revenue of $90.0 million to $120.0 million; (v) design-build gross margins of 13.0% to 17.0%; and (vi) corporate general and administrative expenses of $9.5 million to $10.5 million. Our guidance excludes any additional capital transaction or impairments.
A reconciliation of the range of projected net income (loss) to projected FFO and FFOM for the year ending December 31, 2011 is set forth below:

Supplemental operating and financial data are available in the Investor Relations section of our Web site at www.cogdell.com.
FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by the real estate industry to measure the operating performance of real estate companies. FFOM adds back to traditionally defined FFO non-cash amortization of non-real estate related intangible assets associated with purchase accounting. We present FFO and FFOM because we consider them important supplemental measures of operational performance. We believe FFO is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. We believe that FFOM allows securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate current period results to results prior to the acquisition of MEA Holdings, Inc. FFO and FFOM are intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO and FFOM excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains and losses from

 

 


 

property dispositions and extraordinary items, they provide performance measures that, when compared year over year, reflect the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999 and April 2002), which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO and FFOM utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. We adjust the NAREIT definition to add back noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships before real estate related depreciation and amortization and deduct dividends on preferred stock. Further, FFO and FFOM do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. FFO and FFOM should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our performance, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. A reconciliation from GAAP net loss to FFO and FFOM is included as an attachment to this press release.

FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by the real estate industry to measure the operating performance of real estate companies. FFOM adds back to traditionally defined FFO non-cash amortization of non-real estate related intangible assets associated with purchase accounting. We present FFO and FFOM because we consider them important supplemental measures of operational performance. We believe FFO is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. We believe that FFOM allows securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate current period results to results prior to the acquisition of MEA Holdings, Inc. FFO and FFOM are intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO and FFOM excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items, they provide performance measures that, when compared year over year, reflect the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999 and April 2002), which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO and FFOM utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. We adjust the NAREIT definition to add back noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships before real estate related depreciation and amortization and deduct dividends on preferred stock. Further, FFO and FFOM do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. FFO and FFOM should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our performance, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions.
