Commenting on EastGroup’s performance for the quarter, David H.

Strong leasing results led to increased occupancy and positive same property operating results. We continued to expand our growing development program, and we acquired an attractive eight building complex in Dallas. As a result, second quarter FFO per share increased by 3.9% as compared to the same period last year."

At June 30, 2013, EastGroup’s development program consisted of 13 buildings (998,000 square feet) located in Houston, San Antonio, Charlotte, Orlando and Phoenix which were collectively 51% leased as of July 17, 2013.  The projected total cost for these developments is $72.4 million.

Subsequent to quarter-end, EastGroup initiated construction of Horizon I, a 109,000 square foot business distribution building in Orlando. The project, which has a projected total investment of $7.7 million, is the first property to be constructed in the Company's Horizon Commerce Park. In addition, the Company began construction of Ten West Crossing 4 in Houston. The business distribution building will contain 68,000 square feet and has a projected total cost of $4.8 million.

PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS AND SALES

In May, EastGroup acquired Northfield Distribution Center located immediately north of the DFW International Airport in Grapevine (Dallas), Texas, for $70 million. The property contains eight business distribution buildings totaling 788,000 square feet. The buildings, which were constructed from 1999 to 2008, are currently 100% leased to 31 customers. This purchase increased EastGroup's ownership in Dallas to over 2.9 million square feet.

In early July, the Company closed the acquisition of Interchange Park II in Charlotte for $2.4 million. The business distribution building contains 49,000 square feet and is currently 100% occupied by a single customer. The property, which was constructed in 2000, is located adjacent to EastGroup's existing Interchange Park I property in the city's north submarket.

Also in July, EastGroup closed the sale of 2.2 acres of land in Orlando for $1.4 million. The sale generated a small gain.

DIVIDENDS

EastGroup paid cash dividends of $.53 per share of common stock in the second quarter of 2013, which was the Company’s 134th consecutive quarterly cash distribution.  EastGroup has maintained its dividend for 20 consecutive years and increased it 17 years during that period.  The Company’s dividend payout ratio to FFO was 66% for the quarter.  The annualized dividend rate of $2.12 per share yielded 3.5% on the closing stock price of $60.98 on July 17, 2013.

FINANCIAL STRENGTH AND FLEXIBILITY

EastGroup continues to maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet.  Debt-to-total market capitalization was 34.6% at June 30, 2013.  For the quarter, the Company had interest and fixed charge coverage ratios of 3.8x and a debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) ratio of 6.85. The ratio is 6.39 if adjusted for acquisitions during the quarter and development. Total debt at June 30, 2013 was $902.4 million comprised of $595.5 million of fixed rate mortgage debt, $130.0 million of unsecured fixed rate term debt, and $176.9 million of variable

rate bank debt. The variable rate bank debt was drawn on the Company's revolving credit facilities of $225 million and $25 million, and the Company had borrowing capacity of $73.1 million remaining on the credit facilities at June 30, 2013.

During the first quarter of this year, EastGroup entered into an agreement in principle with an insurance company under which the Company plans to issue $100 million of senior unsecured notes at a fixed interest rate of 3.8%. The notes will require semi-annual interest payments with principal payments of: $30 million on August 30, 2020, $50 million on August 30, 2023, and $20 million on August 30, 2025. These maturity dates complement the Company's existing debt maturity schedule. The transaction is expected to close on August 30, 2013, and the issuance of the notes in this private placement is subject to due diligence and completion of final documentation. The notes will not be and have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

During the second quarter, EastGroup issued and sold 37,753 shares of common stock under its continuous equity program at an average price of $55.97 per share with gross proceeds to the Company of $2.1 million. In addition, in July 2013, the Company issued and sold 138,208 shares of common stock at an average price of $57.07 with gross proceeds of $7.9 million. The Company currently has 812,899 shares of common stock remaining to sell under the program. 

OUTLOOK FOR REMAINDER OF 2013

FFO per share for 2013 is estimated to be in the range of $3.17 to $3.23. The mid-point was increased from $3.15 to $3.20, and the range was narrowed. Diluted EPS for 2013 is estimated to be in the range of $.98 to $1.04.  The table below reconciles projected net income attributable to common stockholders to projected FFO.

DEFINITIONS

The Company’s chief decision makers use two primary measures of operating results in making decisions:  (1) property net operating income (PNOI), defined as income from real estate operations less property operating expenses (excluding interest expense, depreciation expense on buildings and improvements, and amortization expense on capitalized leasing costs and in-place lease intangibles), and (2) funds from operations attributable to common stockholders (FFO).  EastGroup defines FFO consistent with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts’ definition, as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of depreciable real estate property and impairment losses, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

PNOI and FFO are supplemental industry reporting measurements used to evaluate the performance of the Company’s investments in real estate assets and its operating results. The Company believes that the exclusion of depreciation and amortization in the industry’s calculations of PNOI and FFO provides supplemental indicators of the properties’ performance since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions.  PNOI and FFO as calculated by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled but differently calculated measures for other REITs.  Investors should be aware that items excluded from or added back to FFO are significant components in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial performance.
 
Cash yield is defined as the projected cash PNOI at the stated occupancy divided by the total cost of the investment, which includes acquisition costs and the anticipated capital expenditures required to achieve the projected rents.
