35% Year-Over Year Increase in Annual FFO-Core. FFO-Core Per Share of $0.90 up from $0.89 in 2011.

Houston, Texas, March 12, 2013 - Whitestone REIT (NYSE: WSR - “Whitestone” or the “Company”), a fully integrated real estate company that owns, operates and re-develops Community Centered PropertiesTM, which are visibly located in established or developing culturally diverse neighborhoods, announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2012.
 
James C. Mastandrea, Whitestone's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, “For the third consecutive year, the pace of growth for Whitestone accelerated as we acquired five additional Community Centered Property properties for an aggregate purchase price of $107.6 million in 2012. Furthermore, we again delivered on our internal growth initiatives of adding tenants to increase occupancy rates while executing on select redevelopments to increase the value our assets. We continue to benefit from our commitment to our small space business model, which is helping drive improvement in our leasing efforts and margins. As we look to 2013 with a strengthened balance sheet and additional financial flexibility, we expect to add additional accretive acquisitions from our deep and growing pipeline of off-market opportunities in high growth markets.”
 
 Highlights: Fourth Quarter 2012 Compared to Fourth Quarter 2011
 
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company deployed approximately $107.6 million towards acquisitions of value-add Community Centered PropertiesTM in its target markets, including $84.9 million in acquisitions that were completed between September and year-end, which contributed only partially to 2012 results.

The Company's fourth quarter results, except Funds From Operations (“FFO”)-Core, include a previously disclosed contingency that resulted in an expense of $2.2 million, or ($0.12) per fully diluted share and operating partnership ("OP") unit, related to the disposition of the Chief Executive Officer 's former residence in Cleveland, Ohio, which had been on the market for more than five years.

Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2012 were $13.5 million, an increase of $3.5 million, or 35% from the fourth quarter of 2011.

FFO-Core for the fourth quarter 2012 increased 26%, or approximately $0.8 million, to $3.9 million as compared to $3.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. FFO-Core per diluted common share and OP unit was $0.22, as compared to $0.25 per diluted common share and OP unit for the same period in 2011. FFO-Core in the fourth quarter 2012 included non-cash share based compensation related to the vesting of 2009 restricted share grants of $0.3 million or $0.02 per diluted common share and OP unit. FFO-Core excludes acquisition expenses of $698,000 and $339,000 in 2012 and 2011, respectively, and executive relocation expense of $2.2 million in 2012.
 
FFO for the fourth quarter 2012 was $1.5 million, or $0.09 per diluted common share and OP unit, as compared to $2.8 million or $0.22 per diluted common share and OP unit for the fourth quarter 2011. The expense recognized related to the relocation agreement with the Company's Chief Executive Officer included in FFO for the fourth quarter 2012 was $2.2 million, or ($0.12) per diluted common share and OP unit.
 
Property net operating income (“NOI”) increased 31% to $8.4 million for the fourth quarter 2012 as compared to $6.4 million for the same period in 2011. The increase of $2.0 million is primarily attributable to new acquisitions.
 





Net loss attributable to Whitestone REIT was $1.3 million, or ($0.08) per diluted common share for the fourth quarter 2012, compared to $556,000 or $0.05 per diluted common share for the same period in 2011. Excluding the $2.2 million one-time executive relocation charge discussed above, net income attributable to Whitestone REIT would have been $800,000 or $0.05 per diluted common share for the fourth quarter of 2012.  
 
The Company declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.285 per common share and OP unit for the first quarter of 2013, to be paid in three equal installments of $0.095 in January, February and March 2013. The distribution rate has remained the same since the distribution paid on July 8, 2010. In March 2013, the Company also declared its second quarter cash distribution of $0.285 per common share and OP unit, to be paid in three equal installments of $0.095 in April, May and June 2013.

Highlights: 2012 Compared to 2011

The Company's annual results, except Funds From Operations (“FFO”)-Core, include a previously disclosed contingency that resulted in an expense of $2.2 million, or ($0.15) per fully diluted share and operating partnership ("OP") unit, respectively, related to the disposition of the Chief Executive Officer 's former residence in Cleveland, Ohio, which had been on the market for more than five years.
 
Total revenues for 2012 were $46.6 million, an increase of $11.7 million, or 34% from 2011.

FFO-Core increased 35%, or approximately $3.4 million, to $13.0 million for 2012 as compared to $9.6 million in 2011. FFO-Core per diluted common share and OP unit was $0.90 for 2012, as compared to $0.89 per diluted common share and OP unit for 2011. FFO-Core excludes acquisition expenses of $698,000 and $666,000 in 2012 and 2011, respectively, legal recoveries and expenses of $131,000 and $254,000 in 2012 and 2011, respectively, and executive relocation expense of $2.2 million in 2012.
 
Whitestone's FFO was $10.3 million, or $0.71 per diluted common share and OP unit for 2012, as compared to $8.7 million, or $0.81 per diluted common share and OP unit, for 2011. FFO includes the $2.2 million executive relocation expense.
 
Property NOI increased 34% to $28.9 million in 2012, as compared to $21.6 million for 2011. The increase of $7.3 million is primarily attributable to new acquisitions.
 
Net income attributable to Whitestone was $50,000, or $0.00 per diluted common share for 2012, as compared to $1.1 million, or $0.12 per diluted common share, for 2011. Excluding the $2.2 million charge for the disposition of our Chief Executive Officer's former residence, net income attributable to Whitestone REIT would have been $2.2 million or $0.15 per diluted common share for 2012.  
 
2012 Leasing Highlights

The Company's Operating Portfolio Occupancy Rate was 87% as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The Company defines Operating Portfolio Occupancy Rate as physical occupancy in all properties, excluding new acquisitions through the earlier of attainment of 90% occupancy or 18 months of ownership and properties that are undergoing significant redevelopment or re-tenanting. Total physical property occupancy, which includes properties under redevelopment, undergoing significant retenanting and recent acquisitions, increased to 85% as of December 31, 2012 from 84% as of December 31, 2011.

The Company signed new and renewal leases representing 685,000 square feet during 2012 primarily with tenants that required less than 3,000 square feet in multi-cultural neighborhoods, which drives premium rents. Leasing activity increased from the prior year as represented by:
 
An increase of 9% in total lease value of new and renewal leases signed: $35.2 million in 2012 versus $32.3 million in 2011; and
An increase of 4% in the number of new and renewal leases signed: 323 in 2012 versus 312 in 2011.
 
Community Centered PropertiesTM Portfolio Statistics

As of December 31, 2012, Whitestone owned 51 Community Centered PropertiesTM with approximately 4.3 million square feet of gross leasable area, including three development land parcels, located in five of the top markets in the United States in terms of population growth: Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Phoenix and Chicago.





 
The Company's strategic efforts target entrepreneurial tenants that provide services to the surrounding neighborhood at each Community Centered PropertyTM. These tenants tend to occupy smaller spaces (less than 3,000 square feet) and, as of December 31, 2012, provided a 55% premium rental rate compared to Whitestone's larger space tenants. As of December 31, 2012 the Company serviced 1,066 tenants throughout its portfolio.  No single tenant accounted for more than 1.2% of the Company's annualized base rental revenues as of December 31, 2012.  

Balance Sheet
 
Undepreciated real estate assets increased 40% to $409.7 million as of December 31, 2012 as compared to the prior year end.

Real estate debt as a percentage of total market capitalization was 43% as of December 31, 2012 as compared to 45% as of December 31, 2011.

Whitestone had 24 properties unencumbered by mortgage debt as of December 31, 2012, with an undepreciated cost basis of $206.8 million. The total undepreciated value of the Company's real estate assets and real estate indebtedness was $409.6 million and $292.4 million, respectively as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. As of December 31, 2012, $97.9 million, or approximately 51%, of the Company's debt was subject to fixed interest rates. The Company's weighted average interest rate on all debt as of the end of the fourth quarter was 4.7%.
 
Subsequent Events

On February 4, 2013, Whitestone, through its operating partnership, closed on an amended and restated credit facility that amended its existing $125 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The amended and restated credit facility increases the borrowing capacity by $50 million to $175 million, adds an accordion feature that will allow borrowing capacity under the facility to further increase to a total of $225 million, reduces the interest rate by approximately 1% (LIBOR plus a margin of 1.75% - 2.50% based on overall corporate leverage), and extends the term by two years to February 3, 2017.

On March 8, 2013 we entered into an interest rate swap, with a January 7, 2014 start date, that fixes the LIBOR portion of our $50 million term loan under the credit facility at 0.84%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains the supplemental financial measures that are not calculated pursuant to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") including FFO, FFO-Core, and NOI. Following are explanations and reconciliations of these metrics to their most comparable GAAP metric.
 
FFO: Management believes that FFO is a useful measure of the Company's operating performance. The Company computes FFO as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which states that FFO should represent net income (loss) available to common shareholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses from sales of operating assets, impairment charges and extraordinary items, plus depreciation and amortization of operating properties, including the Company's share of unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships. FFO does not represent cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of the Company's performance or to cash flow from operations as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions.

Management considers FFO a useful additional measure of performance for an equity REIT because it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of its properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management believes that FFO provides a more meaningful and accurate indication of the Company's performance and useful information for the investment community to compare Whitestone to other REITs since FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs.
 
Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating FFO, and accordingly, the Company's FFO may not be comparable to other REITs. The Company presents FFO per diluted share calculations that are based on the outstanding dilutive common shares plus the outstanding OP units for the periods presented.






 
FFO-Core: Management believes that the computation of FFO in accordance with NAREIT's definition includes certain items that are not indicative of the results provided by the Company's operating portfolio and affect the comparability of the Company's period-over-period performance. These items include, but are not limited to, extraordinary non-recurring expenses, such as those incurred in connection with the relocation agreement entered into with the Company's Chief Executive Officer, legal settlements, legal and professional fees, gains and losses on insurance claim settlements and acquisition costs. Therefore, in addition to FFO, management uses FFO-Core, which the Company defines to exclude such items. Management believes that these adjustments are appropriate in determining FFO-Core as they are not indicative of the operating performance of the Company's assets. In addition, the Company believes that FFO-Core is a useful supplemental measure for the investing community to use in comparing the Company to other REITs as many REITs provide some form of adjusted or modified FFO.
 
NOI: Management believes that NOI is a useful measure of the Company's property operating performance. The Company defines NOI as operating revenues (rental and other revenues) less property and related expenses (property operation and maintenance and real estate taxes). Because NOI excludes general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, involuntary conversion, interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes and gain or loss on sale or disposition of assets, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating commercial real estate properties and the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. The Company uses NOI to evaluate its operating performance since NOI allows the Company to evaluate the impact that factors, such as occupancy levels, lease structure, lease rates and tenant base, have on the Company's results, margins and returns. In addition, management believes that NOI provides useful information to the investment community about the Company's property and operating performance when compared to other REITs since NOI is generally recognized as a standard measure of property performance in the real estate industry. However, NOI should not be viewed as a measure of the Company's overall financial performance since it does not reflect general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, involuntary conversion, interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes, gain or loss on sale or disposition of assets, and the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of the Company's properties. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, the Company's NOI may not be comparable to other REITs.
