• | Leased small shop space increased by 130 basis points to 88.9%. |

“We finished a solid fourth quarter and full year 2016,” said John Kite, Chief Executive Officer. “We executed our inaugural public debt offering at an attractive 4% coupon. We ended the year with $430 million of liquidity and only $90 million of debt maturing through 2020. We generated a 3.6% increase in same-property NOI for the quarter, or 4.5% excluding the impact of our 3-R program. Small shop leasing is approaching our 90% goal, as we increased another 130 basis points from last year. Our redevelopment efforts are progressing according to plan, as we were able to successfully complete four projects in the fourth quarter. By continuing to grow free cash flow, we were able to increase our quarterly cash dividend another 5.2% at the end of the year. As we look forward into 2017, we will focus on achieving our long-term strategic goals and will continue to provide value for our shareholders.”
Financial & Portfolio Results
Financial Results
Net income attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended December 31, 2016, was $3.4 million, compared to net income of $5.4 million for the same period in 2015. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, net income attributable to common shareholders was $1.2 million, compared to a net income of $15.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015. Full year 2016 results include $2.8 million in transaction costs, while 2015 included a gain on debt extinguishment and a gain on settlement totaling $10.2 million.
For the three months ended December 31, 2016, FFO, as adjusted, was $42.9 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, compared to $42.4 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year. For the three months ended December 31, 2016, FFO, as defined by NAREIT, was $42.0 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, compared to $49.1 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, FFO, as adjusted, was $175.8 million, or $2.06 per diluted share, compared to $170.2 million, or $1.99 per diluted share, for the prior year. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, FFO, as defined by NAREIT, was $170.6 million, or $2.00 per diluted share, compared to $179.8 million, or $2.11 per diluted share, for the prior year. The decrease was driven by transaction costs and debt extinguishment activity.
Portfolio Operations
As of December 31, 2016, the Company owned interests in 121 properties totaling approximately 24 million square feet. The owned gross leasable area in the Company’s retail operating portfolio was 95.4% leased as of December 31, 2016, and the Company’s overall portfolio was 95.5% leased, excluding ground leases and non-owned anchors.
Same-property NOI, which includes 106 operating properties, increased 3.6% in the fourth quarter compared to the same period in the prior year, or 4.5% excluding the impact of the 3-R initiative. Same-property NOI increased 2.9% for the full year (3.7% excluding 3-R properties), compared to the same periods in the prior
2
year. The leased percentage of properties included in the same-property pool was 95.3% at December 31, 2016, compared to 95.5% at December 31, 2015.
The Company executed 92 leases totaling 571,090 square feet during the fourth quarter of 2016. There were 68 comparable new and renewal leases executed during the quarter for 489,789 square feet. Cash rent spreads on new and renewal leases executed in the quarter were approximately 26.3% and 5.5%, respectively, for a blended cash rent spread of 11.5%. The renewal lease spread includes two anchor renewals totaling approximately 80,000 square feet that were renewed at a flat rental rate. Excluding these two leases, the cash renewal spread was 6.9%.
In December, we completed the sale of one operating property. The disposition of this asset resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $14.6 million, which was used to pay down the Company’s revolving line of credit.
Balance Sheet
The Company continued to strengthen its balance sheet during the fourth quarter by unencumbering its Geist Pavilion, Colonial Square, and Village Walk operating properties. As a result, the ratio of secured debt to undepreciated assets was lowered from 23.0% to 16.9% as of December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. As of year-end, the Company had reduced its term maturities through 2020 to $90 million.
Development and Redevelopment
The Company began construction on a new $4.5 million development project at Holly Springs, Phase II. As of year-end, Parkside Town Commons, Phase II, and Holly Springs, Phase II, were 74.5% pre-leased or committed with projected costs of $90.6 million, of which $82.9 million had been incurred.
We completed construction on four 3-R projects during the fourth quarter, including Hitchcock Plaza (Augusta, GA - Aiken, SC), Shops at Moore (Oklahoma City, OK), Tarpon Bay Plaza (Naples, FL) and Traders Point (Indianapolis, IN). The Company invested $8.3 million into these properties for a projected annualized return of 11.3%.
The Company’s 3-R initiative currently includes ten projects under various stages of construction with estimated costs of $58.0 to $66.5 million and an estimated combined annualized return ranging from 9.0% to 10.0%. During the fourth quarter, the Company commenced construction on two projects at Market Street Village (Fort Worth, TX) and Phase II of Portofino Shopping Center (Houston, TX).
2017 Earnings Guidance
The Company is introducing guidance for 2017 FFO, as defined by NAREIT, in a range of $2.00 to $2.06 per diluted share.
The 2017 earnings guidance is based on the following key assumptions:
• | Increase in same-property NOI of 2.0% to 3.0% (excluding redevelopment); |
• | Year-end retail portfolio leased rate of 95% to 96%; |
• | Dispositions of operating properties of $45 million to $55 million; |
• | General and administrative expense of $20 million to $22 million; |

3
• | Gain on sale of non-depreciable assets included in Other Property Related Revenue of $1 million to $3 million; and |
• | No acquisition activity. |
The 2017 earnings guidance is based on a number of factors, many of which are outside the Company’s control and all of which are subject to change. The Company may change its guidance during the year if actual or anticipated results vary from these or other assumptions, although the Company undertakes no obligation to do so.

Funds from Operations (FFO) is a widely used performance measure for real estate companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure of operating performance. We calculate FFO in accordance with the best practices described in the April 2002 National Policy Bulletin of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), which we refer to as the White Paper. The White Paper defines FFO as net income (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)), excluding gains (or losses) from sales and impairments of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Considering the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we believe that FFO is helpful to investors in measuring our operational performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as gains or losses from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. For informational purposes, we have also provided FFO adjusted for a severance charge, accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs, a debt extinguishment loss and transaction costs in 2016, a non-cash adjustment for redemption of preferred shares in 2015, a gain on the resolution of an assumed contingency in 2015, and a gain on settlement and transaction costs in 2015. We believe this supplemental information provides a meaningful measure of our operating performance. We believe our presentation of FFO, as adjusted, provides investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparison of operating performance between periods and among our peer companies. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance, is not an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of funds available to satisfy our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. Our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

1 | Same property NOI excludes operating properties in redevelopment as well as office properties (Thirty South Meridian and Eddy Street Commons). |
2 | Excludes leases that are signed but under which tenants have not yet commenced the payment of cash rent. Calculated as a weighted average based on the timing of cash rent commencement during the period. |
3 | Same property net operating income excludes net gains from outlot sales, straight-line rent revenue, bad debt expense and recoveries, lease termination fees, amortization of lease intangibles and significant prior period expense recoveries and adjustments, if any. |
4 | See pages 27 and 28 for further detail of the properties included in the 3-R initiative. |
5 | Includes non-cash activity across the portfolio as well as net operating income from properties not included in the same property pool. |
The Company believes that Net Operating Income ("NOI") is helpful to investors as a measure of its operating performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of its operating performance, such as depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and impairment, if any. The Company believes that Same Property NOI is helpful to investors as a measure of its operating performance because it includes only the NOI of properties that have been owned for the full period presented, which eliminates disparities in net income due to the redevelopment, acquisition or disposition of properties during the particular period presented and thus provides a more consistent metric for the comparison of the Company's properties. NOI and Same Property NOI should not, however, be considered as alternatives to net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as indicators of the Company's financial performance. The Company’s computation of Same Property NOI may differ from the methodology used by other REITs, and therefore, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

When evaluating the properties that are included in the same property pool, we have established specific criteria for determining the inclusion of properties acquired or those recently under development. An acquired property is included in the same property pool when there is a full quarter of operations in both years subsequent to the acquisition date. Development and redevelopment properties are included in the same property pool twelve months after construction is substantially complete and the properties have been transferred to the operating portfolio. A redevelopment property is first excluded from the same property pool when the execution of a redevelopment plan is likely and we begin recapturing space from tenants. For the quarter ended December 31, 2016, we excluded nine redevelopment properties from the same property pool that met these criteria and were owned in both comparable periods.
