AVENTURA, FL, August 6, 2015 – Trade Street Residential, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSRE) (the “Company” or “Trade Street”), a vertically integrated and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") focused on acquiring, owning, operating and managing high-quality, conveniently located, apartment communities in mid-sized cities and suburban submarkets of larger cities primarily in the southeastern United States and Texas, today announced consolidated results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015.

·Reported Core FFO of $4.5 million, or $0.12 per diluted share.

 

·Same store net operating income, or same store NOI, increased 11.3% compared to the same period last year. Over the same period, same store revenues increased 5.9% and same store expenses decreased 0.9%.

 

·Same store average rent was $1,003 per unit, an increase of 4.4% compared to the same period last year. Stabilized non same store average rent was $1,135 per unit, an increase of 6.8% compared to the same period last year.

 

·Same store average occupancy was 96.5% at quarter end, an improvement of 30 basis points over the same period last year. Stabilized non same store average occupancy was 91.6% at quarter end.

 

Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2015

 

Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the second quarter of 2015 was ($3.4) million compared to a net loss of ($4.0) million in the prior year period. The decrease in net loss was primarily the result of a $1.6 million increase in revenues, a $1.7 million reduction in depreciation and amortization expense and $0.7 million lower general and administrative expense, which more than offset a $3.0 million increase in acquisition and recapitalization costs compared to the prior year period, as well as a $0.8 million impairment charge in the second quarter associated with land held for sale.

Funds from Operations, or FFO, for the second quarter of 2015 was $1.3 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, as compared to $1.7 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the prior year period. The current quarter FFO result was negatively impacted by the aforementioned $3.1 million of acquisition and recapitalization costs incurred during the second quarter of 2015 in connection with the Company’s planned merger with Independence Realty Trust (NYSE MKT: IRT)(“IRT”). Excluding those costs, Core FFO for the second quarter of 2015 was $4.5 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, as compared to $2.4 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the prior year period. Adjusted FFO, which additionally deducts recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures, was $3.8 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2015, as compared to $1.6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the prior year period.

 

Portfolio Performance

 

Same store NOI for the second quarter of 2015 increased 11.3% to $5.8 million as compared to $5.2 million in the prior year period. This improvement in same store NOI was driven by a 5.9% increase in same store revenue and a 0.9% decrease in same store property expenses compared to the prior year period. The increase in same store revenue was primarily attributable to a 30 basis point increase in average occupancy to 96.5%, and a 4.4% increase in average rent to $1,003 per unit. The decrease in same store property operating expenses was primarily attributable to a decrease in advertising expenses and unit turnover costs due to stable occupancies within the same store portfolio as well as favorable property taxes expense, as routine accruals were moderated based on preliminary tax valuations for 2015.

 

On a sequential quarter basis, second quarter of 2015 same store revenue increased 2.9% compared to the first of quarter 2015, while same store property expenses increased 1.6%, resulting in a 3.8% increase in same store NOI.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, same store revenue increased 4.8%, same store property expenses decreased 1.7%, and same store NOI increased 10.1%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Dividend

 

On June 10, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors announced a dividend of $0.095 per share and unit, payable to holders of record of common stock and common units of the operating partnership as of June 30, 2015, which was paid on July 15, 2015.

 

Definitive Merger Agreement

 

On May 11, 2015, the Company and IRT jointly announced the entry into an Agreement and Plan of Merger pursuant to which the Company and its operating partnership subsidiary will merge with and into subsidiaries of IRT (the “Merger”), creating a leading, regional market focused, multifamily REIT.

 

Under the terms of the definitive merger agreement, IRT will pay with respect to each share of Trade Street common stock $3.80 in cash and 0.4108 of newly issued IRT common stock, subject to adjustment as described below. Based on the agreed upon “Reference Price” of $9.25 for IRT shares, this offer represents the equivalent of $7.60 in value for each share of Trade Street common stock. IRT has the option to increase the cash portion of the consideration from $3.80 per share of Trade Street common stock to up to $4.56 per share of Trade Street common stock with a corresponding decrease in the stock portion of the merger consideration as provided for under the terms of the merger agreement, in which case the exchange ratio will be adjusted to reflect the new consideration mix.

Additional details regarding the Merger can be found in Trade Street’s prior filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

As defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, bargain purchase gains, and recognized impairment of real estate assets, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. The Company presents FFO attributable to common stockholders because management considers it to be an important supplemental measure of the Company’s operating performance, believes it assists in the comparison of the Company’s operating performance between periods to that of different REITs and believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their operating results. FFO is intended to exclude GAAP 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. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items, it 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 and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income.

 

The Company also uses core funds from operations, or Core FFO, as an operating measure. Core FFO includes adjustments to exclude the impact of straight-line adjustments for ground leases, gains and losses from extinguishment of debt, transaction costs related to acquisitions and recapitalization, management transition costs and certain other non-cash or non-comparable items. The Company believes that these adjustments are appropriate in determining Core FFO as they are not indicative of the operating performance of the Company’s assets. In addition, the Company believes that Core FFO is a useful supplemental measure for the investing community to use in comparing the Company to other REITs as most REITs provide some form of adjusted or modified FFO.

 

The Company also uses adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, as an operating measure, which is defined as FFO or, alternatively, Core FFO, depending on the existence of any non-cash, non-comparable items as described above, less recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures. The Company believes that AFFO is a relevant operating measure as it provides an indication as to whether a REIT can fund from its operating performance the capital expenditures necessary to maintain the condition of its operating real estate assets.

 

 7 
 

 

 

  

Management believes that net operating income (“NOI”) is a useful measure of our operating performance. We define NOI as total property revenues less total property operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to other REITs. We believe that this measure provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP operating income or net income. We use NOI to evaluate our performance on a same store and non-same store basis. NOI allows us to evaluate the operating performance of our properties because it measures the core operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses and other items not related to property operating performance and captures trends in rental housing and property operating expenses. 

 

The Company defines same store communities as communities owned and stabilized for the entirety of both periods presented, excluding properties held for sale. Reconciliations of net loss attributable to common stockholders to FFO, Core FFO, AFFO, NOI, and same store NOI are included in the Supplemental Information posted on the Company’s website.

(1)The extent of the renovations included within the term “renovated” depends on the individual apartment community, but “renovated” generally refers to the replacement of siding, roof, wood, windows or boilers, updating of gutter systems, renovation of leasing centers and interior rehabilitation, including updated appliances, countertops, vinyl plank flooring, fixtures, fans and lighting, or some combination thereof.

 

(2)Average physical occupancy for the three months ended June 30, 2015 represents the average occupancy of the total number of units occupied at each apartment community during the period divided by the total number of units at each apartment community.

 

(3)On November 22, 2014, a 20-unit building at this community was destroyed by fire. The Company maintains insurance coverage on all of its properties and subsequently filed an insurance claim that is expected to cover the re-construction cost of this building, less the Company’s loss deductible, as well as loss of rents under a business interruption provision in the applicable insurance policy. Accordingly, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, a recovery of lost rents relating to the 20 impacted units was recorded as additional rental income for this property. The Company anticipates that re-construction of this 20-unit building will be completed by the end of 2015.

 

(4)Formerly known as Mercé Apartments.

 

(5)Formerly known as The Estates at Wake Forest.

 

(6)On March 26, 2015 we purchased three additional recently-constructed residential buildings consisting of 100 vacant units on a land parcel adjacent to our Waterstone at Big Creek community located in Alpharetta, Georgia. These units had an average occupancy of 33.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2015, the physical occupancy rate of these units was 72.0%.

(1) The Company defines “Same Store” as properties owned and stabilized since January 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015. For newly constructed or lease-up properties or properties undergoing significant redevelopment, we consider a property to be stabilized at the earlier of (i) attainment of 90% physical occupancy or (ii) the one-year anniversary of completion of development or redevelopment. No properties owned since January 1, 2013 were under construction or undergoing redevelopment and, as a result, no properties owned since January 1, 2014 were excluded from the same store portfolio. For the periods presented, "Same Store" properties are comprised of: The Pointe at Canyon Ridge, Arbor River Oaks, Lakeshore on the Hill, The Trails of Signal Mountain, Vue at Knoll Trail Apartments (formerly Mercé Apartments), Fox Trails, Millenia 700, Westmont Commons, Bridge Pointe, St James at Goose Creek, Creekstone at RTP, Talison Row at Daniel Island and Fountains Southend.
   
(2) See page 19 for the Company's definition of this non-GAAP measure and page 21 for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to net loss attributable to common stockholders.
   
(3) Average physical occupancy for the periods presented represent the average of the total number of units occupied at each apartment community during the respective period divided by the total number of units at each apartment community.
   
(4) Average monthly rental rates for the periods presented are the Company’s market rents after “loss to lease” and concessions, but before vacancy, discounted employee units, model units, and bad debt for the respective periods.

Trade Street Residential, Inc.  
2nd Quarter 2015 Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations
(Unaudited)  

 

The supplemental financial data contained in this document contains certain non-GAAP financial measures management believes are useful in understanding our business and evaluating our performance. Our definitions and calculations of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those of other equity REITs, and thus may not be comparable to other REITs. The non-GAAP financial measures 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.

 

Funds from Operations ("FFO")

 

As defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, bargain purchase gains, and recognized impairment of real estate assets, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. The Company presents FFO because management considers it to be an important supplemental measure of the Company’s operating performance, believes it assists in the comparison of the Company’s operating performance between periods and to that of different REITs and believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their operating results. FFO is intended to exclude GAAP 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. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items, it 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 and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income.

 

Core Funds from Operations ("Core FFO")

 

The Company also uses core funds from operations, or Core FFO, as an operating measure. Core FFO includes adjustments to exclude the impact gains and losses from extinguishment of debt, transaction costs related to acquisitions and recapitalization, management transition costs and certain other non-cash or non-comparable items. The Company believes that these adjustments are appropriate in determining Core FFO as they are not indicative of the operating performance of the Company’s assets. In addition, the Company believes that Core FFO is a useful supplemental measure for the investing community to use in comparing the Company to other REITs as most REITs provide some form of adjusted or modified FFO.

 

Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”)

 

Management also uses Adjusted FFO or AFFO as an operating measure, which is defined as FFO or, alternatively, Core FFO, depending on the existence of any non-cash, non-comparable items as described above, less recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures. Management believes that AFFO is a relevant operating measure as it provides an indication as to whether a REIT can fund from its operating performance the capital expenditures necessary to maintain the condition of its operating real estate assets.

 

Net Operating Income ("NOI")

 

Management believes that net operating income (“NOI”) is a useful measure of our operating performance. We define NOI as total property revenues less total property operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to other REITs. We believe that this measure provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP operating income or net income. We use NOI to evaluate our performance on a same store and non-same store basis. NOI allows us to evaluate the operating performance of our properties because it measures the core operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses and other items not related to property operating performance and captures trends in rental housing and property operating expenses.

 

 19 
 

  

The Company defines same store communities as communities owned and stabilized for the entirety of both periods presented, excluding properties held for sale. Reconciliations of net loss attributable to common stockholders to FFO, Core FFO, AFFO, NOI, and same store NOI are included in the Supplemental Information posted on the Company’s website.

 

The following table reflects same store and non-same store contributions to consolidated NOI together with a reconciliation of NOI to net loss attributable to common stockholders, as computed in accordance with GAAP:

(1) The Company defines “Same Store” as properties owned and stabilized since January 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015 excluding properties held for sale. For newly constructed or lease-up properties or properties undergoing significant redevelopment, we consider a property to be stabilized at the earlier of (i) attainment of 90% physical occupancy or (ii) the one-year anniversary of completion of development or redevelopment. No properties owned since January 1, 2014 were under construction or undergoing redevelopment and, as a result, no properties owned since January 1, 2014 were excluded from the same store portfolio.
   
(2) Includes one community sold during 2014.
   
(3) See page 19 for the Company's definition of this non-GAAP measure.
