BRE PROPERTIES REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2013 RESULTS

2013 Core FFO Guidance Increased

 

July 30, 2013 (San Francisco) – BRE Properties, Inc. (NYSE:BRE), a leading owner, operator and developer of high-quality apartment communities in targeted growth markets in California and Seattle, today reported Core Funds From Operations (Core FFO) of $0.63 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The per share results reflect an increase of 6.8% over the comparable period in 2012. Core FFO is used to facilitate comparisons of the Company’s earnings results and excludes certain non-core items that by their nature are not comparable when comparing periods or earnings performance between periods. All per share results are reported on a fully diluted basis.

 

A reconciliation of FFO and Core FFO can be found in Exhibit B of the Company’s Supplemental Operating and Financial Data. During the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 there were no reconciling differences between FFO and Core FFO.

 

Highlights

 

·

Second quarter 2013 same-store revenues and net operating income (NOI) increased 4.7% and 7.1%, respectively, compared to the second quarter 2012. During the quarter, physical occupancy averaged 95.0%; annualized turnover was 64.5%; and average revenue per occupied home was $1,694.

 

·

Core FFO results of $0.63 per share for the second quarter compared to the previously provided Company guidance of $0.56 to $0.60 per share reflect: (1) solid same-store revenue growth; (2) a reduced level of same-store operating expenses (including a lower level of repairs and maintenance expense and the benefit of $1.0 million in same-store real estate tax refunds); (3) timing on certain G&A expenses (primarily legal related costs); and (4) the timing of community dispositions which closed in late June.

 

·

As previously reported, during the second quarter, BRE completed the sale of a wholly owned apartment community in Los Angeles, California for net proceeds of $46.8 million and the sale of an apartment community in Phoenix, Arizona in which the Company owned a 15% interest. Total net proceeds to BRE for the joint venture interest sale were $6.0 million.

 

·

The Company completed construction of Aviara, a 166-home community located on Mercer Island in Seattle, Washington.

 

·

Annual same-store guidance updated with the expectation that 2013 same-store revenues will increase in a range of 4.25% to 4.75% from 2012 levels, same-store expense will increase in a range of 1.75% to 2.50%, and same-store NOI will increase in a range of 5.0% to 6.0%.

 

·

2013 Core FFO guidance updated to $2.44 to $2.50 per share. Third quarter guidance announced in a range of $0.62 to $0.65 per share.

 

 

“We are pleased with the progress we have achieved in executing our strategic initiatives in 2013,” commented Constance B. Moore, Chief Executive Officer of BRE Properties. “During the second quarter, we achieved internal growth near the high end of our expectations, completed the disposition of $53 million of interests in non-core communities; and delivered our Aviara development as planned. Based on our year to date results and our expectations for the second half of 2013, we are raising the mid-points of our operational and earnings guidance. Our key initiatives remain unchanged: to maximize the operating performance of our portfolio, and continue to execute on our development and strategic disposition programs. Over time, we believe these efforts will improve our portfolio quality while preserving our balance sheet strength, which should position BRE to generate above-average returns in the coming years.”

 

Second Quarter 2013

 

Funds from operations, the generally accepted measure of operating performance for real estate investment trusts, totaled $48.9 million, or $0.63 per share, for the second quarter 2013, compared with $45.8 million, or $0.59 per share, for the second quarter 2012. Core FFO was also $0.63 per share for the quarter. (A reconciliation of net income available to common shareholders to FFO is provided at the end of this release.)

 

Net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter 2013 totaled $43.6 million, or $0.56 per share, compared with net income of $28.7 million, or $0.37 per share, for the same period 2012. The second quarter 2013 results included gains on sales of an operating property and a joint venture interest totaling $21.0 million or, $0.27 per share. The second quarter 2012 results included a gain on sale of an operating community totaling $8.3 million or, $0.11 per share.

 

BRE’s second quarter year-over-year earnings and FFO results reflect the impact of the following factors during 2013: (1) increases in same-store property-level operating results over 2012 levels; and (2) incremental NOI from newly completed communities in the last 24 months; offset by (1) a reduction in NOI from operating communities sold in 2012 and 2013; and (2) a reduction of partnership and management fee income from joint venture interests sold in 2012 and 2013.

 

 

Same-Store Results

 

BRE defines same-store communities as stabilized apartment communities owned by the Company for two comparable calendar year periods. Of the 21,126 apartment homes owned directly by BRE, same-store homes totaled 20,624 for the second quarter.

 

On a year-over-year basis, second quarter same-store revenues increased 4.7% compared to second quarter 2012. The revenue increase was driven by a 5.2% increase in revenue earned per occupied unit during the period, coupled with a 50-basis-point decrease in year-over-year financial occupancy levels. Operating expenses decreased 0.8%, resulting in a 7.1% increase in NOI. The decrease in operating expenses was driven by property tax refunds totaling $1.0 million that were received in the second quarter of 2013 and a reduced level of repairs and maintenance expenses.

 

On a sequential basis, same-store revenue increased 1.2%, expenses decreased 4.4% and NOI increased 3.8% over first quarter 2013 levels. The sequential quarter increase in revenues was driven by a 1.8% increase in revenue earned per occupied unit during the second quarter, coupled with a 50-basis-point decrease in financial occupancy.

 

Company Initiatives

 

·

Dispositions. As previously reported, in June 2013, the Company completed the sale of Summerwind Townhomes, a 200-home, wholly-owned apartment community in Los Angeles, California, for total net proceeds of $46.8 million. Also in June, the Company completed the sale of Arcadia Cove, a 432-home apartment community in Phoenix, Arizona, in which the Company owned a 15% interest. Total net proceeds to BRE were $6.0 million. The sale of these communities resulted in a combined net gain of $21.0 million. Both communities were held on an unencumbered basis.

 

·

Development. In May 2013, the Company delivered final homes at Aviara, a 166-home luxury apartment community located in Mercer Island, Washington. Aviara was completed on time and on budget, at a total cost of $42.9 million. As of July 29, 2013, the community had 115 occupied homes and a total of 132 leased homes.

 

 

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had four communities under construction with a total estimated cost of approximately $725 million, of which approximately 60% has been funded, leaving $293 million remaining to be funded. The current communities under construction are expected to be substantially delivered by the fourth quarter of 2014.

 

After considering alternatives to fund its two Pleasanton, California development sites with off-balance sheet capital, the Company intends to develop the communities on-balance sheet. The Pleasanton projects are expected to commence construction in the first half of 2014 and be completed by mid-2016. Developing the Pleasanton sites on balance sheet enables the Company to increase its investment presence in the San Francisco Bay Area market and to provide the next generation of homes to be delivered after the Company completes the four communities currently under construction.

 

The Company intends to fund the capital commitments related to its development projects primarily with proceeds from strategic asset sales of certain slower-growth communities in its existing portfolio, as well as from funds available under its $750 million unsecured revolving credit facility which had no outstanding balance as of the end of the quarter. Management believes the disposition of slower-growth assets over time will contribute to a portfolio with greater concentrations in targeted markets and infill submarkets that can produce a sustainable, above-average growth rate. The Company expects to be prudent in the execution of its disposition plans, balancing strategic portfolio goals with capital needs, tax implications, and balance sheet metrics.

 

During the second quarter, the Company did not issue any stock under its at-the-market (ATM) equity program. The remaining capacity under the equity distribution agreements total $123.6 million.

 

Earnings Guidance

 

The company increased annual FFO guidance to a range of $2.44 to $2.50 per share from a previously guided range of $2.35 to $2.45 per share.

 

 

 

The updated guidance reflects: (1) the solid fundamentals experienced in the Company’s markets; (2) lower than anticipated expense levels incurred during the first six months of 2013; (3) timing associated with community sales; and (4) higher levels of capitalized interest.

 

Further details are provided below:

 

Same-Store Operations

 

·

Same-store 2013 revenues are now expected to increase over 2012 same-store revenue levels in a range of 4.25% to 4.75% from a previously guided range of 3.50% to 4.75%.

 

·

Same-store expenses for 2013 are estimated to increase over 2012 same-store expense levels in a range of 1.75% to 2.50% from a previously guided range of 3.0% to 3.75%.

 

·

Same-store NOI for 2013 is estimated to increase over 2012 same-store NOI levels in a range of 5.00% to 6.00% from a previously guided range of 3.40% to 5.55%.

 

General and Administrative Expense

·

Annual G&A expense is expected to total $23.25 to $24.25 million, which is unchanged.

 

Interest Expense

·

Annual interest expense is now expected to total $66.5 to $67.5 million, down from a prior range of $68.0 to $69.0 million.

 

·

Capitalized interest is expected to total $23.5 to $24.5 million, up from a prior range of $22.0 to $23.5 million.

 

Investment / Capital Markets Activity – second half 2013

 

·

Proceeds from community dispositions in a range of $75 to $125 million, bringing the annual total to $175 to $225 million.

 

·

Development advances are expected to total $90 to $110 million, bringing the annual total to $180 to $200 million.

 

·

Issuance of equity under the company’s ATM equity program of $0 to $25 million.

 

The company has established an FFO guidance range of $0.62 to $0.65 per share for the third quarter of 2013. The third quarter range reflects the positive impact of incremental NOI from community operations offset by the impact of community sales completed late in the second quarter. Third quarter and annual FFO guidance does not include any non-routine income or expense items (including gains or losses associated with the sale of land).

 

 

 

For the third quarter of 2013, the company expects EPS in the range of $0.28 to $0.31. The company expects EPS for the full year 2013 to be in the range of $1.53 to $1.59. Third quarter and annual EPS ranges exclude the impact of gains or losses on any future community sales.

On July 30, 2013, BRE’s Board of Directors approved regular common and preferred stock dividends for the quarter ending September 30, 2013. All common and preferred dividends will be payable on Monday, September 30, 2013 to shareholders of record on Friday, September 13, 2013.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliations and Definitions

(Dollar amounts in thousands)   

 

This document includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that management believes are helpful in understanding our business, as further described below.  BRE's definition and calculation of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those of other REITs, and may, therefore, not be comparable.  The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measurement of performance and should not be considered an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of liquidity. 

 

Funds from Operations (FFO)

 

Funds from Operations ("FFO") is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental performance measure of an equity REIT. FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) as net income or loss (computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States) excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated real estate assets, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition.

 

The Company believes that FFO is a  meaningful supplemental measure of the Company's operating performance because historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as reflected through depreciation. Because real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management considers FFO an appropriate supplemental performance measure because it excludes historical cost depreciation, as well as gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated community, from GAAP net income. By excluding depreciation and gains or losses on sales of real estate, management uses FFO to measure returns on its investments in real estate assets.  However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of the communities that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures to maintain the operating performance of the communities, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact the Company's results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited.

 

Management also believes that FFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, is useful to investors in providing more meaningful comparisons of the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to other companies. FFO does not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and is not intended to indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. It should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of the REIT’s operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. The Company's FFO may not be comparable to the FFO of other REITs due to the fact that not all REITs use the NAREIT definition.

 

Core Funds from Operations ("Core FFO")

The Company believes that Core funds from Operations ("Core FFO") is a meangingful supplemental measure of our operating performance for the same reasons as FFO and adjusting for non-routine items that when excluded allows for more comparable periods. Core FFO begins with FFO as defined by the NAREIT White Paper and is adjusted for: the impact of any expenses relating to non-operating asset impairment and valuation allowances; property acquisition costs and pursuit cost write-offs (other expenses); gains and losses from early debt extinguishment, including prepayment penalties and preferred share redemptions; executive level severance costs; gains and losses on the sales of non-operating assets, and other non-comparable items.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.  Adjusted EBITDA is defined by BRE as EBITDA, excluding minority interests, gains or losses from sales of investments, preferred stock dividends and other expenses. BRE considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be appropriate supplemental measures of the Company's performance because they eliminate depreciation, interest, and, with respect to Adjusted EBITDA,  gains (losses) from community dispositions and other charges, which permits investors to view income from operations without the impact of noncash depreciation or the cost of debt, or with respect to Adjusted EBITDA, other non-operating items described above. 

 

Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude depreciation and amortization and capture neither the changes in the value of our communities that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures to maintain the operating performance of our communities, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact the Company's results from operations, the utility of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as measures of the Company's performance is limited.  Below is a reconciliation of net income available to common shareholders to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

Net Operating Income (NOI)

The Company considers community level and portfolio-wide NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it helps both investors and management to understand the core community operations prior to the allocation of general and administrative costs. This is more reflective of the operating performance of the real estate, and allows for an easier comparison of the operating performance of single assets or groups of assets. In addition, because prospective buyers of real estate have different overhead structures, with varying marginal impact to overhead from acquiring real estate, NOI is considered by many in the real estate industry to be a useful measure for determining the value of a real estate asset or groups of assets. 

 

Because NOI excludes depreciation and does not capture the change in the value of the communities resulting from operational use and market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures required to adequately maintain the communities (all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact the Company's results from operations), the utility of NOI as a measure of our performance is limited. Other equity REITs may not calculate NOI consistently with the Company's definition and, accordingly, the Company's NOI may not be comparable to such other REITs' NOI. Accordingly, NOI should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of the Company's performance. NOI should not be used as a measure of the Company's liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the Company's cash needs, including its ability to pay dividends or make distributions. NOI also should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP).
