Kimco Realty Reports a 12.9 Percent Increase in FFO As Adjusted Per Diluted Share for the Second Quarter of 2013; Portfolio Operating Metrics Strong

NEW HYDE PARK, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 30, 2013--Kimco Realty Corp. (NYSE: KIM) today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Highlights for the Second Quarter 2013 and Subsequent Activity

  • FFO as adjusted was $0.35 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $0.31 per diluted share for the same period in 2012, representing a 12.9 percent increase;
  • Reported funds from operations (FFO) of $0.35 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $0.34 per diluted share for the same period in 2012;
  • U.S. same-property net operating income (NOI) increased 4.2 percent from the second quarter of 2012, representing the highest year-over-year increase in six years;
  • Recognized 16.7 percent positive spread on U.S. leases signed during the quarter;
  • Pro-rata occupancy increased in the combined and U.S. shopping center portfolios to 93.7 percent and 93.9 percent, respectively, at June 30, 2013 compared to 93.3 percent at June 30, 2012;
  • Closed on the sale of a nine-property Mexican shopping center portfolio for approximately $274 million;
  • Completed the sale of InTown Suites and several other non-retail assets during the quarter bringing the non-retail investment portfolio to less than 2 percent of gross assets; and
  • Issued $350 million of 10-year senior unsecured notes priced at 3.125 percent and subsequently completed an offering in July for $200 million 7-year unsecured Canadian-denominated notes priced at 3.855 percent. The net proceeds from both of these transactions are directed toward paying off maturing debt with a weighted average rate of 5.38 percent.

Financial Results

Net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2013 was $36.6 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to $48.3 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2012. The decrease in net income available to common shareholders during the second quarter of 2013 was primarily due to a $31.3 million increase in impairments that were partially offset by a $12.0 million increase in gains on sales of operating properties; Both operating property impairments and gains on sales are excluded from the calculation of FFO.

Year to date, net income available to common shareholders was $89.8 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to $86.3 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, through June 30, 2012. The increase in net income available to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2013 has been impacted by a $25.3 million increase in impairments, which were partially offset by an $8.6 million increase in gains on sales of operating properties.


FFO, a widely accepted supplemental measure of REIT performance, was $141.6 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $138.0 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, FFO was $276.5 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, compared to $264.2 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, for the same period last year.

FFO as adjusted, which excludes the effects of non-operating impairments and transactional income and expenses, was $142.1 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $126.2 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2012. FFO as adjusted for the six months ended June 30, 2013, was $274.3 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, compared to $252.1 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, for the same period in 2012.

A reconciliation of net income to FFO and FFO as adjusted is provided in the tables accompanying this press release.

The company’s share of the proceeds from these sales was $47.2 million.

Since the start of the company’s U.S. asset recycling program in September 2010, Kimco has disposed of 121 properties, comprising 11.9 million square feet, for $907.2 million, including $220.3 million of mortgage debt. The company’s share of the proceeds from these sales was $551.3 million.

Also during the second quarter, the company:

  • Sold a nine-property Mexican retail shopping center portfolio, in which Kimco held a 47.6 percent ownership interest, for a gross sales price of $274 million;

  • Together with its joint venture partner, American Industries, agreed to sell their beneficial interests in certain trusts that hold a portfolio of Mexican industrial properties to Terrafina (BMV: TERRA13) based on a gross value in the underlying properties of approximately $600 million;

In May, the company issued $350 million of 10-year senior unsecured notes due in 2023 at a coupon of 3.125 percent per annum.

Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of 2013, a wholly-owned entity of Kimco issued $200 million of 7-year unsecured Canadian-denominated notes that are due in 2020 with a coupon of 3.855 percent. The net proceeds will be used to repay a $200 million 5.180 percent Canadian-denominated unsecured note that matures in August 2013.

At June 30, 2013, Kimco’s consolidated net debt to EBITDA as adjusted was 5.8x. In addition, the company maintains access to approximately $1.6 billion of immediate liquidity under the company’s $1.75 billion unsecured revolving credit facility.

FFO is a widely accepted supplemental measure of REIT performance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT). Given the company’s business as a real estate owner and operator, Kimco believes that FFO and FFO as adjusted is helpful to investors as a measure of its operating performance. NAREIT defines FFO as net income/(loss) attributable to common shareholders computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, excluding (i) gains or losses from sales of operating real estate assets and (ii) extraordinary items, plus (iii) depreciation and amortization of operating properties and (iv) impairment of depreciable real estate and in substance real estate equity investments. Included in these items are also the company’s share of unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships. FFO as adjusted excludes the effects of non-operating impairments, transactional income and expenses.
