Definitions

 

Investors and analysts following the real estate industry utilize funds from operations available to common shareholders (“FFO”), normalized funds from operations available to common shareholders (“Normalized FFO”), community NOI, same property NOI, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and acquisition costs (“Adjusted EBITDA”), variously defined, as supplemental performance measures. While the Company believes net income (loss) available to common shareholders, 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, Adjusted EBITDA, 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. FFO also adjusts for the effects of the change in the fair value of marketable securities and costs associated with the redemption of preferred stock. Normalized FFO reflects the same assumptions as FFO except that it also adjusts for gains and losses realized on marketable 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. Adjusted 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, Adjusted EBITDA, 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, and the change in the fair value of marketable securities plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization. Included in the NAREIT FFO White Paper - 2018 Restatement, is an option pertaining to assets incidental to our main business in the calculation of NAREIT FFO to make an election to include or exclude gains and losses on the sale of these assets, such as marketable equity securities, and include or exclude mark-to-market changes in the value recognized on these marketable equity securities. In conjunction with the adoption of the FFO White Paper - 2018 Restatement, for all periods presented, we have elected to exclude the change in the fair value of marketable securities from our FFO calculation. Prior to the adoption of the FFO White Paper – 2018 Restatement, we utilized Core Funds from Operations (Core FFO), which we defined as FFO, excluding the change in the fair value of marketable securities. NAREIT created FFO as a non-GAAP supplemental measure of REIT operating performance.

 

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

 

Normalized FFO per Diluted Common Share is calculated using diluted weighted shares outstanding of 41.5 million shares for the three months ended March 31, 2020, and 38.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Common stock equivalents resulting from stock options in the amount of 355,000 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were excluded from the computation of the Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share as their effect would be anti-dilutive. Common stock equivalents resulting from stock options in the amount of 250,000 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are included in the diluted weighted shares outstanding.

 

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, 2019, with the exception of Memphis Blues.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) plus interest expense, franchise taxes, depreciation, and the change in the fair value of marketable securities.

 

Community NOI, Same Property NOI, Adjusted EBITDA, 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, Adjusted EBITDA, FFO and Normalized FFO should not be considered as substitutes for net loss 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, Adjusted EBITDA, 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 2020.

 

“We are pleased to announce another solid quarter of operating results and an excellent start to 2020. During the quarter, we:

 

	●	Increased Rental and Related Income by 12%;
	●	Increased Community Net Operating Income (“NOI”) by 22%;
	●	Improved our Operating Expense ratio by 430 basis points to 45.1%;
	●	Increased Same Property NOI by 14%;
	●	Increased Same Property Occupancy by 180 basis points from 82.8% to 84.6%;
	●	Increased our rental home portfolio by 149 homes to approximately 7,500 total rental homes, representing an increase of 14%;
	●	Increased rental home occupancy by 100 basis points from 93.0% at yearend 2019 to 94.0% at quarter end;
	●	Reduced the weighted average interest rate on our mortgages payable from 4.3% to 4.1%;
	●	Reduced our Net Debt to Total Market Capitalization from 34% to 30%; and,
	●	Sold approximately 2.6 million shares of our Series D Preferred Stock through our Preferred Stock At-The-Market Program for net proceeds of approximately $63.1 million, after offering expenses.”

 

Mr. Landy stated, “The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been widespread. UMH took aggressive action to protect the health and well-being of our employees and residents. All the states in which we operate have issued stay at home orders and closed nonessential businesses. Although our offices were closed, our maintenance staff was deemed essential and able to maintain our communities and deliver essential services to our residents. Our community managers have been able to work with residents and potential residents remotely. Our new website allows for virtual tours of our homes for sale or rent, online execution of applications and lease agreements, online payment of rent, and other enhancements.”

 

“UMH continues to perform well despite the adversity that we are currently facing. Our operating results demonstrate the success of our business plan. Our rental and related income improved by 12% driving community NOI growth of 22%. Same property NOI increased by 14%. This is the second quarter in a row that same property NOI has increased double digits. Same property occupancy improved by 180 basis-points. Our strong occupancy gains have continued into the second quarter despite the disruptions caused by the pandemic.”

 

“As we previously disclosed, our April rent collections were very strong. We collected 94% of our April rent charges as compared to 95% last year and believe the remainder will be collected in the coming months. We have offered payment agreements to residents who were financially impacted as a result of the pandemic. We expect to have similar collection results in May.”

 

“Our solid balance sheet has allowed us to invest in rental homes and expansions positioning the Company for further growth in 2020. We are also lining up low cost sources of capital to redeem our 8% Series B Preferred Stock in October. Although the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain, we believe that the strength of our operations, our financial flexibility and our ability to reduce our overall cost of capital should allow us to execute our business plan and significantly improve FFO for our common shareholders.”

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 Attributable to Common Shareholders (“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, and the change in the fair value of marketable securities plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization. Included in the NAREIT FFO White Paper - 2018 Restatement, is an option pertaining to assets incidental to our main business in the calculation of NAREIT FFO to make an election to include or exclude gains and losses on the sale of these assets, such as marketable equity securities, and include or exclude mark-to-market changes in the value recognized on these marketable equity securities. In conjunction with the adoption of the FFO White Paper - 2018 Restatement, for all periods presented, we have elected to exclude the change in the fair value of marketable securities from our FFO calculation. Prior to the adoption of the FFO White Paper – 2018 Restatement, we utilized Core Funds from Operations (Core FFO), which we defined as FFO, excluding the change in the fair value of marketable securities. NAREIT created FFO as a non-U.S. GAAP supplemental measure of REIT operating performance. We define Normalized Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders (“Normalized FFO”), as FFO, excluding gains and losses realized on marketable securities investments and certain one-time charges. FFO and Normalized FFO should be considered as supplemental measures of operating performance used by REITs. 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 and Normalized FFO and, accordingly, our FFO and Normalized FFO may not be comparable to all other REITs. The items excluded from FFO and Normalized FFO are significant components in understanding the Company’s financial performance.

 

 

 

		FFO and Normalized FFO (i) do not represent Cash Flow from Operations as defined by U.S. GAAP; (ii) should not be considered as alternatives 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 and Normalized FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 are calculated as follows (in thousands):

 

		Three Months Ended
		3/31/20				3/31/19
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Shareholders		$	(42,838	)		$	5,914
Depreciation Expense			10,227				8,751
Loss on Sales of Depreciable Assets			107				21
(Increase) Decrease in Fair Value of Marketable Securities (2)			38,593				(8,596	)
FFO Attributable to Common Shareholders			6,089				6,090
Settlement of utility billing dispute over a prior 10-year period			-0-				375
Normalized FFO Attributable to Common Shareholders		$	6,089			$	6,465

 

The diluted weighted shares outstanding used in the calculation of FFO per Diluted Common Share and Normalized FFO per Diluted Common Share were 41.5 million shares for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 38.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Common stock equivalents resulting from stock options in the amount of 355,000 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were excluded from the computation of Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Common stock equivalents resulting from stock options in the amount of 250,000 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are included in the diluted weighted shares outstanding.

 

The following are the cash flows provided (used) by operating, investing and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):

 

		2020				2019
Operating Activities		$	17,295			$	12,175
Investing Activities			(20,477	)			(14,737	)
Financing Activities			6,387				3,682
