Franklin Street Properties Corp. Announces

First Quarter 2014 Results

 

Wakefield, MA—April 29, 2014—Franklin Street Properties Corp. (the “Company”, “FSP”, “we” or “our”) (NYSE MKT: FSP), a real estate investment trust (REIT), announced today Funds From Operations (FFO) of $28.8 million or $0.29 per share for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014. Net income was $3.6 million or $0.04 per share for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014.

 

The Company evaluates its performance based on FFO, Net Income and EPS and believes each is an important measure. A reconciliation of Net Income to FFO, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is provided on page 3 of this press release.

 

   Three Months Ended March 31,
(in 000's except per share data)  2014  2013    Increase
(Decrease)
            
Net Income  $3,573   $4,401     $(828)
                  
FFO  $28,779   $21,237     $7,542 
Per Share Data:                 
EPS  $0.04   $0.05     $(0.01)
FFO  $0.29   $0.26     $0.03 
                  
Weighted average                 
   shares (diluted)   100,187    82,937      17,250 

 

Comparing results for the first quarter of 2014 to the same period in 2013, FFO increased $7.5 million or $0.03 per share to $28.8 million or $0.29 per share. The FFO increase was primarily from higher property income due to three acquisitions completed since May 2013 and improved occupancy in our portfolio. These increases were partially offset by higher interest costs and G&A expenses. Net Income and EPS was $3.6 million or $0.04 per share for the first quarter of 2014 compared to a net income of $4.4 million or $0.05 per share for the first quarter of 2013.

 

George J. Carter, President and CEO, commented as follows:

 

“For the first quarter of 2014, FSP's profits as represented by FFO totaled approximately $28.8 million or $0.29 per share, essentially flat when compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. Dividend distributions declared for the first quarter of 2014 were approximately $19.0 million or $0.19 per share. At this time, we are updating our full-year 2014 FFO guidance to a range of $1.09 to $1.12 per diluted share.

 

Our directly-owned real estate portfolio of 39 properties, totaling approximately 9,700,000 square feet, was approximately 94.5% leased as of March 31, 2014, up from approximately 94.1% leased at the end of the fourth quarter 2013. Our property portfolio of primarily urban in-fill office assets has relatively modest lease expirations during 2014, which we have continued to proactively reduce. As of the end of the first quarter 2014, about 4.8% of our commercial square footage is scheduled to expire during the balance of 2014. Tenant improvement expenditures and leasing costs continue to moderate in relation to the level of rental revenues being achieved.

Organic "same-store" rental growth increased 2.9% in the first quarter, however no new property acquisitions were completed. Potential new property acquisition possibilities are actively being worked on as well as selected property disposition opportunities. We would anticipate both property acquisition and disposition activities this year to result in some level of asset recycling. Raising new capital for additional property acquisition activity will be subject to broader capital/property market conditions.

 

In addition, we are pleased to announce that, following the December 31, 2015 expiration of our lease with TCF Bank at 801 Marquette Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota, we intend to redevelop that existing four-story office building.  When we acquired this asset in 2010 as a part of a two-property purchase, the opportunity to pursue development was our primary, long-term investment objective as we believe that the site is both one of the best and most underdeveloped locations in the central business district of Minneapolis, one of our core markets. We are very optimistic about this project and its future potential to contribute meaningfully to our profits, and we will look forward to providing you more details in the future, as we pursue this opportunity.

 

As the second quarter of 2014 begins, FSP remains very optimistic about its continuing growth prospects.

 

Dividend Update

 

On April 11, 2014, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend for the three months ended March 31, 2014 of $0.19 per share of common stock that will be paid on May 15, 2014 to stockholders of record on April 25, 2014.

 

FFO Guidance

 

We are updating our full year FFO guidance for 2014 to be in the range of $1.09 to $1.12 per diluted share. This guidance (a) excludes the impact of future acquisitions, dispositions, debt financings or repayments or other capital market transactions; (b) reflects estimates from our ongoing portfolio of properties, other real estate investments and G&A expenses; and (c) reflects our current expectations of economic conditions in the coming year. We will update guidance quarterly in our earnings releases. There can be no assurance that the Company’s actual results will not differ materially from the estimates set forth above.

 

Real Estate Update

 

Supplementary schedules provide property information for the Company’s owned real estate portfolio and for two non-consolidated REITs in which the Company holds preferred stock interests as of March 31, 2014. The Company will also be filing an updated supplemental information package that will provide stockholders and the financial community with additional operating and financial data. The Company will file this supplemental information package with the SEC and make it available on its website at www.franklinstreetproperties.com.

Funds From Operations (FFO)

 

A reconciliation of Net Income to FFO is shown below and a definition of FFO is provided on Supplementary Schedule H. Management believes FFO is used broadly throughout the real estate investment trust (REIT) industry as a measurement of performance. The Company has included the NAREIT FFO definition in the table and notes that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently. The Company’s computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies that define FFO differently.

Supplementary Schedule H

Definition of Funds From Operations (“FFO”),

 

 

 

The Company evaluates performance based on Funds From Operations, which we refer to as FFO, as management believes that FFO represents the most accurate measure of activity and is the basis for distributions paid to equity holders. The Company defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and acquisition costs of newly acquired properties that are not capitalized, plus depreciation and amortization, including amortization of acquired above and below market lease intangibles and impairment charges on properties or investments in non-consolidated REITs, and after adjustments to exclude equity in income or losses from, and, to include the proportionate share of FFO from, non-consolidated REITs.

 

FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), nor as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance, nor as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), nor as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, nor is it necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company’s needs.

 

Other real estate companies and NAREIT, may define this term in a different manner. We have included the NAREIT FFO definition in our table and note that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

 

We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the results of the Company, FFO should be examined in connection with net income and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in the consolidated financial statements.
