Investments in Real Estate |
Investments in Real Estate | 4. Investments in Real Estate We acquire land, buildings and improvements necessary for the successful operations of commercial tenants. A. 2014 and 2013 Acquisitions During 2014, we invested $1.4 billion in 506 new properties and properties under development or expansion with an initial weighted average contractual lease rate of 7.1%. The 506 new properties and properties under development or expansion are located in 42 states, will contain approximately 9.8 million leasable square feet, and are 100% leased with a weighted average lease term of 12.8 years. The tenants occupying the new properties operate in 32 industries and the property types consist of 85.7% retail, 6.6% industrial and distribution, 6.4% office, and 1.3% manufacturing, based on rental revenue. None of our investments during 2014 caused any one tenant to be 10% or more of our total assets at December 31, 2014. The $1.4 billion invested during 2014 was allocated as follows: $295.6 million to land, $984.1 million to buildings and improvements, $209.4 million to intangible assets related to leases, $901,000 to other assets, net, and $87.4 million to intangible liabilities related to leases and other assumed liabilities. We also recorded mortgage premiums of $604,000 associated with the mortgages acquired. There was no contingent consideration associated with these acquisitions. The properties acquired during 2014 generated total revenues of $75.1 million and income from continuing operations of $27.8 million. The purchase price allocation for $147.1 million of the $1.4 billion invested by us in 2014 is based on a preliminary measurement of fair value that is subject to change. The allocation for these properties represents our current best estimate of fair value and we expect to finalize the valuations and complete the purchase price allocations in 2015. In 2014, we finalized the purchase price allocations for $120.8 million invested in the second half of 2013. There were no material changes to our consolidated balance sheets or income statements as a result of these purchase price allocation adjustments. In comparison, during 2013, Realty Income invested $1.51 billion in 459 new properties and properties under development or expansion (in addition to our acquisition of American Realty Capital Trust, Inc. or ARCT, which is discussed below), with an initial weighted average contractual lease rate of 7.1%. The 459 properties and properties under development or expansion are located in 40 states, will contain over 9.0 million leasable square feet, and are 100% leased with an average lease term of 14.0 years. The tenants occupying the new properties operated in 23 industries and the property types consisted of 83.8% retail, 9.2% office, 4.9% industrial and distribution, and 2.1% manufacturing, based on rental revenue. These investments are in addition to the $3.2 billion acquisition of ARCT, which added 515 properties to our real estate portfolio during the first quarter of 2013. The 515 properties added to our real estate portfolio as a result of the ARCT acquisition are located in 44 states and Puerto Rico, contain over 16.0 million leasable square feet, and are 100% leased with a weighted average lease term of 12.2 years. The 69 tenants occupying the 515 properties acquired operate in 28 industries and the property types consist of 54.0% retail, 32.6% industrial and distribution, and 13.4% office, based on rental revenue. We recorded ARCT merger-related transaction costs of $13.0 million in 2013 and $7.9 million in 2012. These merger related transaction costs included, but were not limited to, advisor fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing fees and transfer taxes. Our combined total investment in real estate assets, including the ARCT acquisition, during 2013 was $4.67 billion. The $4.67 billion invested during 2013 was allocated as follows: $805.5 million to land, $3.21 billion to buildings and improvements, $772.7 million to intangible assets related to leases, $13.6 million to other assets, net, and $128.6 million to intangible and assumed liabilities related to leases. We also recorded mortgage premiums of $28.4 million associated with the mortgages acquired. There was no contingent consideration associated with these acquisitions. The properties acquired during 2013 generated total revenues of $225.3 million and income from continuing operations of $44.0 million during 2013. The estimated initial weighted average contractual lease rate for a property is generally computed as estimated contractual net operating income, which, in the case of a net leased property, is equal to the aggregate base rent under the lease for the first full year of each lease, divided by the total cost of the property. Since it is possible that a tenant could default on the payment of contractual rent, we cannot provide assurance that the actual return on the funds invested will remain at the percentages listed above. In the case of a property under development or expansion, the contractual lease rate is generally fixed such that rent varies based on the actual total investment in order to provide a fixed rate of return. When the lease does not provide for a fixed rate of return on a property under development or expansion, the estimated initial weighted average contractual lease rate is computed as follows: estimated net operating income (determined by the lease) for the first full year of each lease, divided by our projected total investment in the property, including land, construction and capitalized interest costs. Of the $1.4 billion we invested during 2014, $81.9 million was invested in 40 properties under development or expansion with an estimated initial weighted average contractual lease rate of 8.4%. Of the $4.67 billion we invested during 2013, $39.6 million was invested in 21 properties under development or expansion with an estimated initial weighted average contractual lease rate of 8.5%. B. Acquisition Transaction Costs Acquisition transaction costs (excluding ARCT merger-related costs) of $453,000 and $2.1 million, respectively, were recorded to general and administrative expense on our consolidated statements of income for 2014 and 2013. C. Investments in Existing Properties During 2014, we capitalized costs of $6.0 million on existing properties in our portfolio, consisting of $821,000 for re-leasing costs and $5.2 million for building and tenant improvements. During 2013, we capitalized costs of $8.5 million on existing properties in our portfolio, consisting of $1.3 million for re-leasing costs and $7.2 million for building and tenant improvements. D. Properties with Existing Leases Of the $1.4 billion we invested during 2014, approximately $957.4 million was used to acquire 201 properties with existing leases. In comparison, of the $4.67 billion we invested during 2013, approximately $4.32 billion was used to acquire 799 properties with existing leases. The value of the in-place and above-market leases is recorded to acquired lease intangible assets, net on our consolidated balance sheets, and the value of the below-market leases is recorded to acquired lease intangible liabilities, net on our consolidated balance sheets. The values recorded to all of these intangible values for properties acquired during the fourth quarter of 2014 are based on a preliminary measurement of fair value that is subject to change. The values of the in-place leases are amortized as depreciation and amortization expense. The amounts amortized to expense for all of our in-place leases, for 2014, 2013, and 2012, were $83.6 million, $65.5 million and $15.6 million, respectively. The values of the above-market and below-market leases are amortized over the term of the respective leases as an adjustment to rental revenue on our consolidated statements of income. The amounts amortized as a net decrease to rental revenue for capitalized above-market and below-market leases for 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $8.0 million, $8.2 million, and $1.8 million, respectively. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be recorded to revenue or expense as appropriate. The following table presents the estimated impact during the next five years and thereafter related to the net increase (decrease) to rental revenue from the amortization of the acquired above-market and below-market lease intangibles and the increase to amortization expense from the amortization of the in-place lease intangibles for properties held for investment at December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

E. Unaudited Pro Forma Information The following pro forma total revenue and income from continuing operations, for 2013 and 2012, assumes all of our 2013 acquisitions, including ARCT, occurred on January 1, 2012 (in millions). This pro forma supplemental information does not include: (1) the impact of any synergies or lower borrowing costs that we have or may achieve as a result of the acquisitions or any strategies that management has or may consider in order to continue to efficiently manage our operations, and (2) ARCT’s historical operational costs, including general and administrative costs and property expenses. Additionally, this information does not purport to be indicative of what our operating results would have been had the acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2012, and may not be indicative of future operating results. For purposes of calculating these pro-forma amounts, we assumed that merger-related costs of approximately $12.5 million, which represent the merger-related costs incurred after consummation of our ARCT acquisition, occurred on January 1, 2012. Other than these items specified above, no material, non-recurring pro-forma adjustments were included in the calculation of this information.
