Four Corners Property Trust, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2017 Earnings

MILL VALLEY, CA – May 3, 2017 / Business Wire – Four Corners Property Trust, Inc. (“FCPT” or the “Company”, NYSE: FCPT) announced today its operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

A supplemental financial and operating report that contains non-GAAP measures and other defined terms, along with this press release, has been posted to the investor relations section of the Company’s website at www.fcpt.com.

Highlights for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2017:

 

    Net income attributable to common shareholders of $15.6 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to net income of $94.3 million, or $1.61 per diluted share for the same period in 2016 which included a one-time, non-cash tax benefit of $80.4 million in connection with FCPT declaring REIT status.

 

    GAAP rental income increased 6.0% when compared to the same period in 2016 to $27.8 million, consisting of $25.4 million in cash rents and $2.4 million of straight-line rent adjustments.

 

    NAREIT-defined Funds from Operations (FFO) of $21.0 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, representing an increase of 7.3% in per diluted share results compared to the same period in 2016.

 

    Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) of $19.6 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, representing an increase of 8.6% in per diluted share results compared to the same period in 2016.

 

    General and administrative expenses for the quarter of $2.9 million including $0.5 million of non-cash, stock-based compensation.

 

    Regular dividend of $0.2425 per common share for the first quarter of 2017.

 

    Acquired restaurant properties with an investment value of $17.1 million, an initial weighted average cash yield of 6.6%, and a weighted average lease term of 13.5 years.

 

    At March 31, 2017, FCPT had $445 million of outstanding debt, including $45 million drawn on its $350 million revolving credit facility, and $18.1 million of available cash and cash equivalents.

Subsequent to Quarter end:

 

    On April 20, FCPT entered into an agreement to issue $125.0 million of senior, unsecured fixed rate notes consisting of $50.0 million of seven-year notes at a fixed interest rate of 4.68%, and $75.0 million of ten-year notes at a fixed interest rate of 4.93%. Proforma for the offering, FCPT’s fixed rate, all-in cash interest rate is 3.48% and its average debt maturity is 4.8 years, excluding borrowing under the revolving credit facility. The closing and funding of the Notes is expected to occur on June 7, 2017, subject to the satisfaction of standard closing conditions.


    On May 1, FCPT announced the acquisition of 16 Bob Evans Restaurant properties for $35.1 million. The sale-leaseback transaction was completed simultaneously with Golden Gate Capital’s acquisition of Bob Evans Restaurants from Bob Evans Farms, Inc. (NASDAQ: BOBE) under a single triple-net master lease with a 20-year initial term. The transaction was priced at a cap rate consistent with our investment thresholds and past transactions, and the 16-unit portfolio has well-covered rents and sales performance above the brand’s national average.

Management Comments:

“After a short lull in acquisition activity discussed on our last conference call, we have been quite active recently,” said Bill Lenehan, Chief Executive Officer. “We announced our inaugural investment-grade debt transaction, increasing the duration of our capital structure and providing dry-powder for future acquisitions at a reasonable cost. Subsequently, we have acquired an approximately $35 million portfolio of Bob Evans properties in a well-structured, long-term master lease.”

Real Estate Portfolio:

As of March 31, 2017, the Company’s rental portfolio consisted of 484 restaurant properties located in 44 states. The properties are 100% occupied under long-term, triple-net leases with a weighted average remaining lease term of approximately 13.5 years and an estimated portfolio weighted average EBITDAR to Lease Rent coverage of 4.2x.
