VIRGINIA BEACH, VA, October 31, 2014 — Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. (NYSE: AHH), a full service real estate company that develops and owns high-quality office, retail and multifamily properties in key Mid-Atlantic markets, today announced its results for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.

“This morning, we reported another solid quarter with FFO and Core FFO coming in better than expectations driven primarily by stronger than expected leasing,” commented Louis Haddad, Chief Executive Officer. “This quarter marked an inflection point in the execution of our development pipeline, as we delivered the remaining projects slated for 2014. In addition, we closed on the Dimmock Square acquisition, are in the process of selling two assets and raised our 2014 outlook. We are enthusiastic about a strong finish to the year as well as our ability to execute in the coming year.”

Financial Results

Net income for the third quarter increased 120% to $2.8 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to $1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2013.

FFO for the third quarter increased 41% to $7.3 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared to $5.2 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2013. Core FFO for the third quarter increased 15% to $7.5 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to $6.6 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2013.

The quarter-over-quarter increases in net income and Core FFO reflect the acquisition of Dimmock Square as well as increased occupancy and Same Store NOI in each of the Company’s operating property segments. The quarter-over-quarter increases in net income and FFO also reflect the positive initial leasing performance of 4525 Main Street and the negative impact of a $1.1 million loss on debt extinguishment in the prior year.

The Company believes that Core FFO is a useful supplemental performance measure as it excludes certain items including, but not limited to, losses on debt extinguishments, non-cash compensation expense and effects from non-stabilized development projects. A reconciliation of GAAP net income to FFO and Core FFO is presented on page eight of this release.

Operating Performance

The Company executed new and renewal office and retail leases totaling 72,000 square feet. At the end of the quarter, the Company’s office, retail and multifamily operating property portfolios were 94.8%, 94.7% and 96.6% occupied, respectively.

Balance Sheet and Financing Activity

At the end of the quarter, the Company had total outstanding debt of approximately $335.8 million, including $54.0 million outstanding on its revolving credit facility. Approximately 43% of the Company’s debt had fixed interest rates at September 30, 2014 and, after considering interest rate swaps and LIBOR interest rate caps with strike prices at or below 150 basis points, approximately 78% of the Company’s debt was fixed or hedged at September 30, 2014.

Non-stabilized projects—negative impact to FFO (excluded from Core FFO)

     ~$400,000         ~$1.0 million   

The Company raised its full-year 2014 Core FFO expectations, which excludes the impact from non-stabilized projects and non-cash compensation, to approximately $29.0 million from the previous expectation of approximately $27.5 million. The increase was driven by better than expected leasing activity across the portfolio most notably at the Cosmopolitan, better than expected construction activity and lower interest expense.

Full-year construction company segment gross profit is now expected to be approximately $4.6 million compared to the previous expectation of $4.3 million.

The Company expected to deliver five development projects in 2014, all of which have been delivered as of October 31, 2014, and the related leasing activity has been strong. The Company now expects the negative impact from non-stabilized projects in 2014 to be approximately $400,000, which is better than the previous expectation of $1.0 million. This is the amount that the Company will exclude from its calculation of Core FFO.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. 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. Specifically, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions, which do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared period-over-period, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. 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.

Management also believes that the computation of FFO in accordance with NAREIT’s definition includes certain items that are not indicative of the results provided by the Company’s operating property portfolio and affect the comparability of the Company’s period-over-period performance. Accordingly, the Company further adjusts FFO to arrive at Core FFO, which eliminates certain of these items, including, but not limited to, gains and losses on the extinguishment of debt and non-cash stock compensation expense.

For reference, as an aid in understanding the Company’s computation of FFO and Core FFO, a reconciliation of net income calculated in accordance with GAAP to FFO and Core FFO has been included on page eight of this release.
