BRT REALTY TRUST REPORTS
THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
Great Neck, New York – August 9, 2012 – BRT REALTY TRUST (NYSE:BRT), a real estate investment trust that originates and holds for investment short-term senior mortgage loans secured by commercial and multi-family real estate and participates as an equity investor in joint ventures which acquire multi-family residential properties and other real estate assets, today announced operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2012.
Operating Results:
Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were approximately $5.55 million, an increase of $211,000 or 4.0% from $5.34 million the corresponding quarter in the prior year. The increase is due to a $1.91 million, or 250%, increase in rental revenue from real estate properties due to the multi-family residential properties acquired in March 2012. Partially offsetting the increase was an $814,000 decrease in interest on real estate loans and the recovery of $1 million with respect to previously provided allowances recognized in the corresponding period of the prior year.
During the current quarter, the Trust originated approximately $20.1 million in loans compared to $23.6 million in the corresponding quarter in the prior year.
Total expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were approximately $6.76 million, an increase of approximately $3.25 million, or 92.6%, from $3.51 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The increase is primarily due to an aggregate of $2.7 million in increases in interest on borrowed funds, amortization and depreciation, and operating expenses related to real estate owned attributable to the multi-family residential properties acquired in March 2012 and property acquisition costs of $471,000 related to the Trust’s acquisition of a multi-family residential property during the current quarter.
Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $142,000 or $0.01 per share in the current quarter, compared to net income of $3.17 million or $0.23 per share in the corresponding prior year period.
Funds from Operations:
Funds from Operations (“FFO”) was $803,000 in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $2.72 million in the third quarter of 2011. FFO per diluted share was $0.06 in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $0.19 in the same period in 2011. A description and reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures is presented later in this release.
About BRT Realty Trust:
BRT Realty Trust is a business trust organized in Massachusetts. BRT’s primary business is to originate and hold for investment senior mortgage loans secured by commercial and multi-family real estate property in the United States. Beginning in the quarter ended March 31, 2012, BRT expanded its activities by acquiring for investment, with venture partners, multi-family residential properties. Interested parties are encouraged to review the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for additional information. The Form 10-Q, as well as additional financial and descriptive information on BRT, its operations and its portfolio, is available at BRT’s website at: www.BRTRealty.com.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
In view of its recent equity investments in joint ventures which have acquired multi-family residential properties, BRT has and anticipates that in the future it will disclose funds from operations (“FFO”) because it believes that FFO is a widely recognized and appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT. BRT believes FFO is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of equity REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is intended to exclude historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. As a result, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, interest costs and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation and amortization, providing perspective that may not necessarily be apparent from net income.
BRT has determined FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”). FFO is defined by NAREIT as net income (or loss) computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, plus impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.
