(firmenpresse) - GREAT NECK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 03/12/15 -- One Liberty Properties, Inc. (NYSE: OLP), a real estate investment trust focused on net leased properties, today announced operating results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2014.
"Over the course of the past year we have remained attentive to improving our portfolio through active management and select acquisitions and dispositions," commented Patrick J. Callan, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of One Liberty. "We invested $57 million in new properties, while generating $46 million in assets sales. The results are indicative of our disciplined approach that we will maintain in the pursuit of growth in our portfolio. We believe this is the best approach to support a stable yet growing dividend."
Total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2014 increased $1.0 million or 7.0%, to $15.2 million, from $14.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, due to the net impact of portfolio acquisitions and dispositions.
Income from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2014 was $11.6 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, compared to $3.4 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2013. The increase is due primarily to the $8.6 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, net gain (after giving effect to the $1.6 million of prepayment costs associated with the related mortgage debt) on the sale of a property in Parsippany, NJ.
Net income attributable to One Liberty in the fourth quarter of 2014 was $11.6 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, compared to $3.5 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2013. The increase is due primarily to the sale of the Parsippany, NJ property. Excluding the effect of the sale of the Parsippany property, net income attributable to One Liberty was $0.18 per diluted share.
Funds from Operations, or FFO, was $5.5 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared to $7.2 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, in the corresponding period of 2013. The change is due primarily to the inclusion in the fourth quarter of 2014 of the $1.6 million charge related to the prepayment of debt associated with the sale of the Parsippany, NJ property. Adjusted Funds from Operations, or AFFO, was $7.1 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared to $7.3 million, or $0.47 per share in the corresponding prior year period. The change is due primarily to increased property acquisition costs and professional fees, including fees related to the implementation of the COSO 2013 internal control framework. A reconciliation of GAAP amounts to non-GAAP amounts is presented with the financial information included in this release.
Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased 18.6% to $60.5 million from $51.0 million in 2013, due to increases in rental income, tenant reimbursements and a $1.3 million lease termination fee. Rental income in 2014 increased 14.8% to $56.6 million from $49.3 million in 2013 primarily reflecting the net impact of acquisitions and dispositions in 2014 and 2013.
Income from continuing operations increased to $22.2 million, or $1.37 per diluted share, from $17.4 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, in 2013. Contributing to the 23.4% per share improvement were increases in rental income and the $8.6 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, net gain (after giving effect to the $1.6 million of prepayment costs associated with the related mortgage debt) on the sale of the Parsippany, NJ property. For 2013, income from continuing operations includes an aggregate gain of $4.7 million, or $.31 per diluted share, from the sale of joint venture real estate and an interest in a joint venture.
Net income attributable to One Liberty was $22.1 million, or $1.37 per diluted share, in 2014, compared to $17.9 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, in 2013. Net income for 2013 includes $515,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, of income from discontinued operations. Excluding the effect of the sale of the Parsippany, NJ property, net income attributable to One Liberty was $0.82 per diluted share in 2014. Excluding the gains from the sale of joint venture real estate and an interest in a joint venture, net income attributable to One Liberty was $0.83 per diluted share in 2013.
FFO for 2014 was $28.2 million, or $1.75 per diluted share, compared to 2013 FFO of $25.7 million, or $1.66 per diluted share. AFFO for 2014 was $29.7 million, or $1.84 per diluted share, compared to 2013 AFFO of $27.1 million, or $1.75 per diluted share.
At December 31, 2014, the Company had $20.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, total assets of $590.4 million, total debt of $305.3 million and total stockholders' equity of $254.3 million.
At March 6, 2015, One Liberty's available liquidity was approximately $80.3 million, including approximately $14.4 million of cash and cash equivalents (net of the credit facility's required $3 million deposit maintenance balance) and $65.9 million available under its credit facility.
Effective as of the dividend declared in late December 2014 and paid in January 2015, One Liberty increased its dividend payment by 5.4% from $0.37 per share to $0.39 per share.
On January 13, 2015, the Company sold a retail center in Cherry Hill, NJ for $16.0 million, net of closing costs, resulting in a gain of approximately $5.4 million, before giving effect to a swap breakage charge of $478,000, and the write-off of $249,000 of the remaining deferred mortgage costs. The non-controlling interest's share of income from the transaction is approximately $1.3 million.
On February 25, 2015, One Liberty, through a joint venture in which it has a 90% equity interest, acquired a 101,590 square foot shopping center located in Lakewood, Colorado for approximately $17.5 million. In connection with the acquisition, One Liberty obtained $11.7 million of mortgage debt maturing in 2025, amortizing over 25 years and bearing an annual interest rate of 4.12%.
One Liberty computes FFO in accordance with the "White Paper on Funds From Operations" issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") and NAREIT's related guidance. FFO is defined in the White Paper as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepting accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, plus impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. Since the NAREIT White Paper only provides guidelines for computing FFO, the computation of FFO may vary from one REIT to another. One Liberty computes AFFO by deducting from FFO its straight-line rent accruals, amortization of lease intangibles, lease termination fee income and gain on extinguishment of debt and adding back amortization of restricted stock compensation, amortization of costs in connection with its financing activities (including its share of its unconsolidated joint ventures) and prepayment costs associated with mortgage debt.
One Liberty believes that FFO and AFFO are useful and standard supplemental measures of the operating performance for equity REITs and are used frequently by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating equity REITs, many of which present FFO and AFFO when reporting their operating results. FFO and AFFO are intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminish predictability over time. In fact, real estate values have historically risen and fallen with market conditions. As a result, management believes that FFO and AFFO provide a performance measure that when compared year over year, should reflect the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, interest costs and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation and amortization, providing a perspective that may not be necessarily apparent from net income. Management also considers FFO and AFFO to be useful in evaluating potential property acquisitions.
FFO and AFFO do not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP. FFO and AFFO should not be considered to be an alternative to net income as a reliable measure of our operating performance; nor should FFO and AFFO be considered an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities (as defined by GAAP) as measures of liquidity.
FFO and AFFO do not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of the Company's cash needs, including principal amortization, capital improvements and distributions to stockholders. FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP.
Management recognizes that there are limitations in the use of FFO and AFFO. In evaluating the Company's performance, management is careful to examine GAAP measures such as net income and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities. Management also prepares and reviews the reconciliation of net income to FFO and AFFO.
