AmREIT REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

HOUSTON, November 5, 2012 – AmREIT, Inc. (NYSE:AMRE) (“AmREIT” or the “Company”), today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Third Quarter and Year-to-Date Highlights:

 

 

 

Financial Results

 

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) available to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2012 were $3.4 million, or $0.23 per share, as compared to FFO of $3.4 million, or $0.29 per share for the third quarter of 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, FFO was $10.7 million, or $0.85 per share, as compared to FFO of $9.5 million, or $0.82 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

 

 

 

 

Net income available to common stockholders for the third quarter 2012 was $1.0 million, or $0.07 per share, compared to net income of $1.1 million, or $0.10 per share, for the same period in 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net income was $3.7 million, or $0.29 per share, as compared to 2011 net income of $3.0 million, or $0.26 per share, for the nine months ended September 30. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, net income included approximately $417,000 in gain on sale.

FFO is a non-GAAP supplemental earnings measure that AmREIT considers meaningful in measuring its operating performance. A reconciliation of FFO to net income is attached to this press release.

 

 

 

Portfolio Results

 

In the third quarter 2012, same-store net operating income (“NOI”) increased 1.6% over the third quarter 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, same-property NOI increased 3.2%, as compared with the same period in 2011. Since 2010 through the nine months ended September 30, 2012, AmREIT has experienced an average annual increase in same-store NOI of 3.2%.

 

 

 

 

Portfolio occupancy as of September 30, 2012 was 96.8%, an increase of approximately 100 basis points as compared to portfolio occupancy of 95.8% as of December 31, 2011.

 

 

 

 

During the third quarter 2012, AmREIT signed 14 leases for approximately 41,710 square feet of gross leasable area, including both new and renewal leases. The Company’s cash leasing spreads (i.e. new leasing rate per square foot compared to the expiring leasing rate per square foot) remained flat for renewals and increased 45.8% for new comparable leases. On a GAAP basis (which includes the effects of straight-line rent), the Company’s leasing spreads increased 3.8% on renewals and 53.3% on new comparable leases.

 

 

 

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, AmREIT signed 31 leases for approximately 115,455 square feet of gross leasable area, including both new and renewal leases. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company’s cash leasing spreads increased 4.5% on renewals and 31.5% on new comparable leases. On a GAAP basis, the Company’s leasing spreads increased 10.1% on renewals and 40.8% on new leases.

Dividends

 

AmREIT also announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share. The dividend will be paid on December 31, 2012 to all common stockholders of record on December 21, 2012.

 

 

 

Guidance

 

AmREIT has not previously provided 2012 FFO guidance and today announced full year 2012 FFO per share guidance of $1.04 to $1.09.

“For over two and one-half decades we have built one of the highest quality grocery and drug anchored portfolios within the REIT sector,” said H. Kerr Taylor, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AmREIT. “Our teams’ localized acquisition, operations and redevelopment expertise within our densely populated and affluent urban submarkets continues to produce strong results for shareholders. This is evidenced through our peer-leading 96.8% portfolio occupancy, strong positive leasing spreads, and same store NOI growth year-to-date of 3.2% as of the end of the third quarter. Our discipline in not wavering from our dedication to quality assets, brand building and years of local relationship building in our markets is also growing our potential pipeline of acquisitions which bodes well for platform growth during 2013.”

 

 

 

Other Activities

 

On August 1, 2012 the Company completed the initial public offering of its Class B common stock, selling 3,650,000 shares at a public offering price of $14.00 per share and listing its Class B common stock on the New York Stock Exchange. On August 24, 2012, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option and purchased an additional 503,226 shares. Total net proceeds from the offering of approximately $52.8 million were used to pay down debt and for other general corporate purposes.

 

On August 6, 2012, the Company closed on its $75 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility has a term of three years with an option to extend the maturity date for one additional year. Additionally, the Credit Facility has an accordion feature that may allow the Company to increase the availability by an additional $75 million to $150 million. The Credit Facility is subject to customary financial and reporting covenants.

 

On September 28, 2012 AmREIT was named a member of the U.S. small-cap Russell 2000 Index.

Non-GAAP Financial Disclosure

This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures that management believes are useful in evaluating an equity REIT’s performance. AmREIT’s definitions and calculations of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those used by other equity REITs, and therefore may not be comparable. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our operating results, or to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

Funds From Operations (FFO)

AmREIT considers FFO to be an appropriate measure of the operating performance of an equity REIT. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as net income computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), excluding gains or losses from sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. AmREIT calculates its FFO in accordance with this definition. Management considers FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance because, by excluding gains or losses on dispositions and excluding depreciation, FFO is a helpful tool that can assist in the comparison of the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods, or as compared to different companies. FFO is not defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our operating performance or to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. FFO as disclosed by other REITs may not be comparable to AmREIT’s calculation.

Projected FFO is calculated in a method consistent with historical FFO, and AmREIT considers projected FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure when compared with projected earnings per share. A reconciliation of the projected FFO to projected earnings per share is provided below:

Net Operating Income (NOI)

AmREIT believes that NOI is a useful measure of operating performance. AmREIT defines NOI as operating revenues (rental income, tenant recovery income, percentage rent, excluding straight-line rental income and amortization of acquired above- and below-market rents) less property operating expenses (real estate tax expense and property operating expense, excluding straight-line rent bad debt expense). Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, AmREIT’s NOI may not be comparable to other REITs. AmREIT uses NOI to evaluate its performance on a property-by-property basis because NOI allows the company to evaluate the impact that factors such as lease structure, lease rates and tenant base, which vary by property, have on operating results. However, NOI should only be used as a supplemental measure of AmREIT’s financial performance.
