ONE LIBERTY PROPERTIES, INC. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2013 RESULTS

 
●   
Rental Income Increased 12.5% Over 2012 First Quarter
 
 
●   
FFO Increased 13.8% over 2012 First Quarter
 
GREAT NECK, New York, May 8, 2013 — One Liberty Properties, Inc. (NYSE: OLP), an owner of a geographically diversified portfolio of retail, industrial, health and fitness, office, flex and other properties primarily under long term net leases in the United States, today announced operating results for the  quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Patrick J. Callan, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of One Liberty stated, “One Liberty began 2013 by executing and achieving progress towards the goal of selective and accretive growth.  With overall double digit percentage increases from the first quarter of 2012 in rental income, income from continuing operations and funds from operations, we continue to protect and increase stockholder value while prudently pursuing growth opportunities.”

Operating Results:

Rental income for the first quarter of 2013 increased $1.34 million, or 12.5%, to $12.1 million from $10.76 million for the first quarter of 2012.  The increase is due substantially to the twelve properties acquired since February 2012.

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2013 increased to $5.67 million from $4.98 million for the first quarter in the prior year.  Approximately $586,000 of the increase is due to increased depreciation, real estate and real estate acquisition expense resulting primarily from properties acquired in 2012 or 2013 and the balance is due to increased general and administrative expense.

Net income attributable to One Liberty in the first quarter of 2013 was $3.45 million or $0.22 per diluted share compared to $3.22 million or $0.21 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2012.  Included in the 2012 results are $264,000 or $.01 per share of income from discontinued operations.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company reported Funds from Operations (“FFO”) of $6.34 million, a 13.8% increase from the $5.57 million reported in the first quarter of 2012.  FFO was $0.42 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2013 compared to $0.38 per diluted share in the corresponding period of the prior year. A reconciliation of FFO to net income as presented in accordance with GAAP is provided with the financial information included later in this release.
 
The per share net income and FFO results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were impacted by the increase in the weighted average number of shares outstanding which increased due to share issuances under One Liberty’s equity incentive, dividend reinvestment and at the market equity offering programs.

Balance Sheet:

The Company, at March 31, 2013, had $16.4 million of cash and cash equivalents, total assets of $486.5 million, total debt of $229.9 million (including $3.5 million outstanding on its $75 million credit facility) and total equity of $238.4 million.

Subsequent Events:

After the end of the current quarter, the Company completed the sale of its 90% interest in a joint venture involved in the redevelopment of a property in Plano, Texas for $13.5 million with an estimated gain of $1.9 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

One Liberty believes that Funds from Operations (“FFO”) is a widely recognized and appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT. One Liberty presents FFO because it considers FFO to be an important supplemental measure of its operating performance and is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of equity REITs.  FFO is intended to exclude generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. As a result, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, interest costs and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation and amortization, providing perspective that may not necessarily be apparent from net income.

One Liberty has determined FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”). FFO is defined by NAREIT as net income (or loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, plus impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.  FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.
