NEWS RELEASE

KENNEDY WILSON REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2011 EARNINGS

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (May 9, 2011) – Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: KW) (“Kennedy Wilson” or the “Company”), an international real estate investment and services company, today reported a first quarter 2011 net loss attributable to Kennedy Wilson common shareholders of $1.0 million (or $0.02 per basic and diluted share) compared to a loss of $3.1 million (or $0.08 per basic and diluted share) for the same period in 2010. Net income attributable to Kennedy Wilson common shareholders adjusted for stock-based and merger-related compensation expense (“Adjusted Net Income”) was $171,000 (or $0.00 per basic share) compared to $990,000 (or $0.03 per basic share) for the same period in 2010.

The Company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and stock-based and merger-related compensation expense (“Adjusted EBITDA”) for the first quarter 2011 were $15.1 million compared to $5.7 million for the same period in 2010.

1Q 2011 Highlights

Investments

 

 

The Company’s investment account (equity in real estate and loan investments) increased by $20.6 million to $384.3 million at March 31, 2011 from $363.7 million as of December 31, 2010.

 

 

Kennedy Wilson’s total assets topped $500 million.

Improved Adjusted EBITDA Metrics

 

 

During the three month period ended March 31, 2011, the Company achieved an Adjusted EBITDA of $15.1 million, a 165% increase from $5.7 million for the same period in 2010.

 

 

During the three month period ended March 31, 2011, KW Investments achieved an Adjusted EBITDA of $13.8 million, a 176% increase from $5.0 million for the same period in 2010.

 

 

During the three month period ended March 31, 2011, KW Services achieved an Adjusted EBITDA of $1.8 million, a 38% increase from $1.3 million for the same period in 2010.

Significant Multifamily Platform

 

 

Kennedy Wilson’s current multifamily platform, owned directly and through joint ventures, consists of 12,906 units (including 1,008 units in escrow and excluding 286 units sold on May 6, 2011) within 78 apartment communities. The units are located in California (53%), the Pacific Northwest (28%) and Japan (19%).

 

 

The Company’s multifamily portfolio, which is 96% occupied, on a trailing 12-month basis produced an annualized net operating income of $123 million (annualized for communities purchased in 2011 and stabilized for one community in lease up). The current debt associated with these properties is approximately $1.5 billion, and Kennedy Wilson’s equity interest in the portfolio is approximately 30%. In many cases, in addition to ownership percentage, Kennedy Wilson has a promoted interest in the profits of these investments. Management believes that the Company’s multifamily investments are in supply constrained markets which will experience rent growth over the next several years.

 

 

On May 6, 2011, Kennedy Wilson and its partners sold a 286-unit multifamily project in Anaheim, CA at a 4.8% cap rate.

Expansion of Service Business

 

 

Management and leasing fees increased by 14% to $5.0 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 from $4.4 million for the same period in 2010, driven primarily by higher asset management fees earned through the increased investment of partner equity.

 

 

Commissions increased by 44% to $2.6 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 from $1.8 million for the same period in 2010, driven primarily by increased acquisition fees generated by the Company’s acquisition activities.

Accessed Debt Financing

 

 

During the three month period ended March 31, 2011, the Company and its equity partners completed $333 million of property level financings at a weighted average interest rate of 2.71%.

 

 

In April 2011, the Company completed the sale and issuance of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of senior Notes.

“Our first quarter performance reflects the continued growth of the company and in particular, the increase in recurring cash flow from the previous quarter last year,” William McMorrow, chairman and CEO of Kennedy Wilson said. “The company is well capitalized, and we continue to see and pursue buying opportunities.”

These statements are not guarantees of future performance, rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events, many of which are outside of our control, and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results, performance or achievement, or industry results, to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements, expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties may include these factors and the risks and uncertainties described elsewhere in this report and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the Item 1A. “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to the results reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) included within this press release, Kennedy Wilson has provided certain information, which includes non-GAAP financial measures (proforma statement of income, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per share and Adjusted EBITDA).
