Definitions

 

Investors and analysts following the real estate industry utilize funds from operations (“FFO”), core funds from operations (“Core FFO”), normalized funds from operations (“Normalized FFO”), community NOI, same property NOI, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), variously defined, as supplemental performance measures. While the Company believes net income available to common stockholders, as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), is the most appropriate measure, it considers Community NOI, Same Property NOI, EBITDA, FFO, Core FFO and Normalized FFO, given their wide use by and relevance to investors and analysts, appropriate supplemental performance measures. FFO, reflecting the assumption that real estate asset values rise or fall with market conditions, principally adjusts for the effects of U.S. GAAP depreciation and amortization of real estate assets. Core FFO reflects the same assumptions as FFO except that it also adjusts for the effects of acquisitions costs and costs of early extinguishment of debt. Normalized FFO reflects the same assumptions as Core FFO except that it also adjusts for gains and losses realized on securities investments and certain one-time charges. Community NOI and Same Property NOI provides a measure of rental operations, and does not factor in depreciation and amortization and non-property specific expenses such as general and administrative expenses. EBITDA provides a tool to further evaluate the ability to incur and service debt and to fund dividends and other cash needs. In addition, Community NOI, Same Property NOI, EBITDA, FFO, Core FFO and Normalized FFO are commonly used in various ratios, pricing multiples, yields and returns and valuation of calculations used to measure financial position, performance and value.

 

As used herein, the Company calculates FFO, as defined by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), to be equal to net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders, as defined by U.S. GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined by U.S. GAAP, gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated real estate assets, impairment charges related to depreciable real estate assets, plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization. FFO includes gains and losses realized on securities investments.

 

Core FFO is calculated as FFO plus acquisition costs and costs of extinguishment of debt.

 

Normalized FFO is calculated as Core FFO excluding gains and losses realized on securities investments and certain one-time charges.

 

Core FFO per Diluted Common Share and Normalized FFO per Diluted Common Share is calculated using diluted weighted shares outstanding of 30,427,000 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2017, and 27,161,000 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Common stock equivalents resulting from stock options in the amount of 472,000 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2017, and 43,000 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2016, are included in the diluted weighted shares outstanding. Common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of the Diluted Net Loss per Share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

Community NOI is calculated as rental and related income less community operating expenses such as real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, community salaries, utilities, insurance and other expenses. Community NOI excludes realized gains (losses) on securities transactions.

 

Same Property NOI is calculated as Community NOI, using all properties owned as of January 1, 2016, with the exception of Memphis Blues.

 

EBITDA is calculated as net income plus interest expense, franchise taxes, depreciation expense and acquisition costs.

 

Community NOI, Same Property NOI, EBITDA, FFO, Core FFO and Normalized FFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, including the repayment of principal on debt and payment of dividends and distributions. Community NOI, Same Property NOI, EBITDA, FFO, Core FFO and Normalized FFO should not be considered as substitutes for net income applicable to common shareholders (calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP) as a measure of results of operations, or cash flows (calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP) as a measure of liquidity. Community NOI, Same Property NOI, EBITDA, FFO, Core FFO and Normalized FFO as currently calculated by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled, but variously calculated, measures of other REITs.

Samuel A. Landy, President and CEO, commented on the results of the first quarter of 2017.

 

“We are pleased to announce another strong quarter of operating results. While Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders (which includes depreciation expense), increased from $0.03 per diluted share to $0.05 per diluted share, our Normalized FFO (which excludes depreciation expenses) increased from $0.16 per diluted share to $0.17 per diluted share, representing a 6.3% year over year increase. We have been growing the Company both internally and externally. Our same-store portfolio continues to perform to our expectations which is driving increased earnings growth. We are also proud of our ability to acquire communities that fit our acquisition criteria and are accretive to earnings. During the quarter, we also:

 

  Increased Rental and Related Income by 12.6% over the prior year period;
  Increased Community Net Operating Income (“NOI”) by 16.2% over the prior year period;
  Improved our Operating Expense ratio by 170 basis points over the prior year period from 48.5% to 46.8%;
  Increased Same Property NOI by 12.6% over the prior year period;
  Increased Same Property Occupancy by 180 basis points over the prior year period from 80.1% to 81.9%;
  Increased home sales by 11.6% over the prior year period;
  Increased our rental home portfolio by 243 homes, representing an increase of 5.2% from yearend 2016, to approximately 4,900 total rental homes;
  Increased rental home occupancy by 220 basis points from 91.5% at yearend 2016 to 93.7% at quarter end;
  Acquired 5 communities containing approximately 1,300 homesites for a total cost of $36.5 million;
  Reduced the weighted average interest rate on our total debt from 4.3% to 4.1%;
  Renewed and expanded our existing unsecured credit facility; and
  Achieved a $1 billion total market capitalization, an increase of 35.7% over the prior year period.”

 

“We are making substantial progress on many fronts. We have continued to execute on our acquisition program, and in the first quarter, acquired 5 communities containing approximately 1,300 developed homesites for an aggregate cost of approximately $36.5 million. These communities are located in regions where we are seeing increased demand and should provide us with an opportunity to significantly improve community operating results.”

 

“We are successfully integrating and upgrading our acquisitions, including adding rental homes, which is resulting in increased occupancy and NOI. Same Property NOI increased by 12.6% year over year. Same Property occupancy increased by a healthy 180 basis points. This demonstrates the strength of our business plan of acquiring communities in strong geographic locations, making necessary improvements and implementing our rental, sales and marketing programs.”

 

“We continue to take advantage of the low interest rate environment and reduced the weighted average interest rate on our total debt to 4.1%. We have also increased our liquidity and further strengthened our financial flexibility and balance sheet with the renewal and expansion of our existing unsecured credit facility.”

Note:

 

  (1) Non-GAAP Information: We assess and measure our overall operating results based upon an industry performance measure referred to as Funds From Operations (“FFO”), which management believes is a useful indicator of our operating performance. FFO is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental operating performance measure of a REIT. FFO, as defined by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), represents Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Shareholders, as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), excluding extraordinary items, as defined under U.S. GAAP, gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated real estate assets, impairment charges related to depreciable real estate assets, plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization. NAREIT created FFO as a non-U.S. GAAP supplemental measure of REIT operating performance. We define Core Funds From Operations (“Core FFO”) as FFO plus acquisition costs and costs of early extinguishment of debt. We define Normalized Funds From Operations (“Normalized FFO”) as Core FFO excluding gains and losses realized on securities investments and certain non-recurring charges. We define Community NOI as rental and related income less community operating expenses such as real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, community salaries, utilities, insurance and other expenses. FFO, Core FFO and Normalized FFO, as well as Community NOI, should be considered as supplemental measures of operating performance used by REITs. FFO, Core FFO and Normalized FFO exclude historical cost depreciation as an expense and may facilitate the comparison of REITs which have a different cost basis. However, other REITs may use different methodologies to calculate FFO, Core FFO, Normalized FFO and Community NOI and, accordingly, our FFO, Core FFO, Normalized FFO and Community NOI may not be comparable to all other REITs. The items excluded from FFO, Core FFO and Normalized FFO are significant components in understanding the Company’s financial performance.
     
    FFO, Core FFO and Normalized FFO (i) do not represent Cash Flow from Operations as defined by U.S. GAAP; (ii) should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities; and (iii) are not alternatives to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

The reconciliation of the Company’s U.S. GAAP net loss to the Company’s FFO, Core FFO and Normalized FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 are calculated as follows:

 

   Three Months Ended 
    3/31/17    3/31/16 
Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders  $(1,504,000)  $(883,000)
Depreciation Expense   6,540,000    5,525,000 
(Gain) Loss on Sales of Depreciable Assets   25,000    (22,000)
FFO and Core Attributable to Common Shareholders   5,061,000    4,620,000 
Gain on Sales of Securities, net   (32,000)   (232,000)
Normalized FFO Attributable to Common Shareholders  $5,029,000   $4,388,000 

 

The diluted weighted shares outstanding used in the calculation of Core FFO per Diluted Common Share and Normalized FFO per Diluted Common Share were 30,427,000 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2017, and 27,161,000 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Common stock equivalents resulting from stock options in the amount of 472,000 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2017, and 43,000 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2016, respectively, are included in the diluted weighted shares outstanding. Common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of the Diluted Net Loss per Share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

The following are the cash flows provided (used) by operating, investing and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016:

 

   Three Months Ended 
   3/31/17   3/31/16 
Operating Activities  $10,339,000   $7,659,000 
Investing Activities   (49,618,000)   (18,538,000)
