Capital Activity
In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we sold 49.5% of our 100% equity interest in West Tennessee Investors MOB, LLC for approximately $3.1 million. The entity and its one property are now accounted for as a consolidated real estate partnership.

 

 


 

Development Activity
In the three months ended September 30, 2011, we completed construction on Bonney Lake Medical Office Building located in Bonney Lake, Washington for approximately $21.8 million. This 55,991 rentable square foot medical office building is 96.9% leased and is a joint venture between our Company, MultiCare Good Samaritan Hospital, and a group of private physicians. We own 61.7% of this consolidated real estate partnership.
We initiated a new development project to build a rehabilitation hospital located in Cleveland, Ohio. The project is an approximate 54,500 rentable square foot, two story building and is 100% owned by us. The off-campus, hospital affiliated, rehabilitation hospital has an estimated cost of $18.3 million ($15.0 million inter-company design-build contract) and is 100% pre-leased by a joint venture entity that includes University Hospital Health System and Centerre Healthcare. Construction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Design-Build Contracts
During the quarter, we entered into three new design-build contracts with aggregate design-build contract value of $7.5 million. Our contract pipeline increased from $129.5 million at the end of the second quarter to $150.7 million at the end of the third quarter. Our contract pipeline is the estimated dollar value of future design-build revenues from Project Design Agreements (“PDAs”) that are currently either in project analysis or design development.
Litigation Activity
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, an arbitrator awarded $2.5 million to plaintiffs in a case in which we were named as the defendant. We had previously recorded a $2.8 million accrual for this litigation. During the third quarter we reversed $0.3 million of the litigation accrual, resulting in a gain, and paid the remaining $2.5 million award.
In a separate case in which we were the plaintiff, we settled with the defendant for $0.5 million in cash which we received during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. We recorded a litigation gain of $0.5 million.
Dividends
On September 9, 2011, we announced that our Board of Directors had declared a quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share and OP Unit that was paid in cash on October 19, 2011 to holders of record on September 23, 2011. The $5.1 million dividend on our common stock covered our third quarter of 2011.
On November 3, 2011, we announced that our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.53125 per share on our Series A preferred shares for the period September 1, 2011 to November 30, 2011. The $1.6 million dividend will be paid on December 1, 2011, to holders of record on November 17, 2011.

 

 


 

Outlook
We maintain our annual FFOM to be in the range of $0.30 to $0.33 per share and operating partnership unit, excluding the litigation gains and losses, for the year ending December 31, 2011. Our guidance excludes any additional capital transactions or impairments.
A reconciliation of the range of projected net income (loss) to projected FFO and FFOM for the year ending December 31, 2011 is set forth below:

Supplemental operating and financial data are available in the Investor Relations section of our Web site at www.cogdell.com.
FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by the real estate industry to measure the operating performance of real estate companies. FFOM adds back to traditionally defined FFO non-cash amortization of non-real estate related intangible assets associated with purchase accounting. We present FFO and FFOM because we consider them important supplemental measures of operational performance. We believe FFO is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. We believe that FFOM allows securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate current period results to results prior to the acquisition of MEA Holdings, Inc. FFO and FFOM are intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO and FFOM excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items, they provide performance measures that, when compared year over year, reflect the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999 and April 2002), which may differ from the

 

 


 

methodology for calculating FFO and FFOM utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. To calculate FFOM, we adjust the NAREIT definition to add back noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships and limited liability companies before real estate related depreciation and amortization, acquisition-related expenses, and deduct dividends on preferred stock. Further, FFO and FFOM do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. FFO and FFOM should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our performance, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. A reconciliation from GAAP net loss to FFO and FFOM is included as an attachment to this press release.

FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by the real estate industry to measure the operating performance of real estate companies. FFOM adds back to traditionally defined FFO non-cash amortization of non-real estate related intangible assets associated with purchase accounting. We present FFO and FFOM because we consider them important supplemental measures of operational performance. We believe FFO is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. We believe that FFOM allows securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate current period results to results prior to the acquisition of MEA Holdings, Inc. FFO and FFOM are intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO and FFOM excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items, they provide performance measures that, when compared year over year, reflect the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999 and April 2002), which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO and FFOM utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. We adjust the NAREIT definition to add back noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate partnerships before real estate related depreciation and amortization, acquisition-related expenses, and deduct dividends on preferred stock. Further, FFO and FFOM do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. FFO and FFOM should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our performance, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions.
