City Office REIT Announces Second Quarter 2014 Results

VANCOUVER—August 14, 2014—City Office REIT, Inc. (NYSE: CIO), today announced its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Second Quarter Highlights

 

    Achieved Core Funds From Operations (“Core FFO”) of $2.6 million, or $0.22 per fully diluted share;

 

    Built a portfolio of 2.1 million square feet which was 92.5% leased at June 30, 2014, including recently signed leases not commenced;

 

    Commenced new and renewal leases during the quarter totaling approximately 37,000 square feet, and executed approximately 12,000 square feet of new leases that will commence subsequent to the end of the second quarter;

 

    Closed on the acquisition of Plaza 25 in Denver, Colorado, a three building 197,000 square foot office property in the exclusive Greenwood Village submarket, for $25.1 million; and

 

    Declared a prorated dividend in the amount of $0.183 per share for the second quarter 2014, which was paid on July 17, 2014.

“We are very pleased with our second quarter performance,” commented James Farrar, Chief Executive Officer. “Since completing our IPO in April, we have closed on two acquisitions in key target markets, built a robust pipeline of future opportunities while continuing to enhance the value of our existing portfolio. Our portfolio’s occupancy levels, including recently signed leases that have not commenced increased to 92.5% at quarter end. During the quarter we refinanced the existing debt on our Amberglen property with a 5 year mortgage. At the end of the quarter 100% of our debt was fixed rate with a weighted average maturity of 5.9 years. The stability of our portfolio combined with the strong performance of our targeted submarkets and our conservative capital structure enabled us to pay our inaugural quarterly dividend of $0.235, which was prorated to $0.183 per share for the period we were a publicly traded company. We believe that the strength of our existing properties together with the demand for office space in our markets positions us to increase net operating income and create value for our stockholders.”

Financial Results for the Second Quarter 2014

Core Funds From Operations (Core FFO) was $2.6 million or $0.22 per fully diluted share. Adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) was also $0.22 per fully diluted share. Net loss attributable to the Company since the IPO was $1.9 million, or ($0.24) per fully diluted share. The Company began operations upon completion of its formation transactions and initial public offering (“IPO”) in April 2014 and therefore had no comparative results for the second quarter of 2013. Second quarter results include the operations of the Predecessor Company for the period between April 1, 2014 and April 20, 2014. Results for this period reflect the Predecessor Company’s interest expense. A majority of the Predecessor Company’s debt was refinanced in conjunction with the IPO.

A reconciliation of Core FFO and AFFO to GAAP net income can be found at the bottom of this release.

Portfolio Operations

The Company reported that its total portfolio as of June 30, 2014 contained 2.1 million net rentable square feet and was 92.5% occupied, including recently signed leases not commenced, at the end of the second quarter 2014. The occupancy level will increase to 93.1% based on the inclusion of the Lake Vista Pointe acquisition, which was completed on July 18, 2014.

Leasing

During the second quarter, the Company commenced 3 new leases and 2 renewals totaling 37,000 square feet, and executed 12,000 square feet of new leases that will commence subsequent to the end of the second quarter.

Acquisitions

The Company completed the acquisition of Plaza 25 in Denver, Colorado on June 4, 2014 for a purchase price of $25.1 million. Plaza 25 is a three building 197,000 square foot office property in the exclusive Greenwood Village submarket. The property was 93.3% occupied at closing and is anticipated to generate an initial full-year cash net operating income yield of approximately 8.1% based on the purchase price.

Subsequent Events

On July 18, 2014, the Company announced the completion of the acquisition of Lake Vista Pointe in Dallas, Texas for a purchase price of $28.4 million. Lake Vista Pointe is a 163,000 square foot office property in the growing Lewisville, Texas submarket. The property is leased to a single tenant through 2021, with a 5 year extension option. The acquisition is anticipated to generate an initial full-year cash net operating income yield of approximately 7.8% based on the purchase price, with contractual annual rent escalations. The acquisition was financed with an $18.5 million mortgage that has been fixed at a 4.28% interest rate for 10 years.

Capital Structure

During the quarter the Company completed its IPO resulting in net proceeds of approximately $72.5 million.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had total outstanding debt of approximately $155.0 million. All of the Company’s outstanding debt is fixed rated with a weighted average maturity of 5.9 years. In June 2014, the Company increased the total borrowing capacity on its revolving credit facility from $15 million to $30 million with the addition of the Plaza 25 property to the borrowing base collateral.

Dividend

On May 12, 2014, the Company’s board of directors declared an initial, prorated cash dividend of $0.183 per share for the quarterly period from April 21, 2014 through June 30, 2014, which is equivalent to a full quarterly dividend of $0.235. The dividend was paid to stockholders and common unitholders on July 17, 2014.

Forward-looking Statements

This press release contains “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws. All statements that are not statements of historical facts are, or may be deemed to be, forward looking statements. Forward looking statements reflect our current expectations concerning future results, objectives, plans and goals, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are difficult to predict and which may cause future results, performance or achievements to differ. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include factors described in our news releases and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not have any obligation to publicly update any forward looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

FFO, Core FFO and AFFO are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) – The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT’) states FFO should represent net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP) plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) and after adjustments of unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, gains or losses on the sale of property and impairments to real estate.

The Company uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because it believes that FFO is beneficial to investors as a starting point in measuring the Company’s operational performance. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare the Company’s operating performance with that of other REITs.

However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of the Company’s properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of the Company’s properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact the Company’s results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of the Company’s performance is limited. In addition, other equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition as the Company

does, and, accordingly, the Company’s FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of the Company’s performance.

Core Funds from Operations (“Core FFO”) – Management believes that Core FFO is a useful measure of our operating performance. We calculate Core FFO by using FFO as defined by NAREIT and adjusting for certain other non-core items. We also exclude from our Core FFO calculation acquisition costs, the one-time loss on early extinguishment of Predecessor debt, changes in the fair value of the earn-out and the amortization of stock based compensation.

Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”) – Management believes that AFFO is a useful measure of our liquidity. We compute AFFO by adding to FFO the non-cash amortization of deferred financing fees, and non-real estate depreciation, and then subtracting cash paid for any tenant improvements, leasing commissions, and capital expenditures, and eliminating the net effect of straight-line rents, deferred market rent and debt fair value amortization. For the second quarter, we have further excluded all costs associated with tenant improvements, leasing commissions and capital expenditures which were funded by the entity contributing the properties at closing.
