Fourth Quarter Operating Results

For the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company reported total income of $85.6 million and net income attributable to common stockholders of $17.8 million, or $0.16 per basic share. Colony Financial’s Core Earnings were $34.5 million, or $0.31 per basic share, inclusive of $0.13 per basic share of transaction expenses primarily consisting of $0.07 per basic share relating to the proposed combination with Colony Capital, LLC and $0.04 per basic share relating to the Cobalt acquisition.


“We enjoyed a phenomenal year of achievements in 2014 including more than doubling the size of our investment portfolio,” said Richard Saltzman, Colony Financial’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “In addition, the company is now appropriately positioned from a strategic and scale perspective to benefit significantly from the proposed combination with Colony Capital, LLC, the parent company of our external manager. The $1.6 billion Cobalt light industrial property acquisition which we completed at the end of last year, simultaneous with raising 37% of co-investment capital that immediately earns investment management economics, is the first example of how our go-forward business plan will be synergistic for our shareholders.”

Fourth Quarter Activity

 

    The Company and the parent of its manager Colony Capital entered into a definitive agreement providing for an operating subsidiary of the Company (“OP”) to acquire Colony’s trademark name and substantially all of Colony Capital’s real estate investment management business and operations, excluding those conducted exclusively in connection with Colony American Homes (“CAH”) which has become an internally-managed REIT, for aggregate potential consideration of $657.5 million ($547.5 million upfront) based on a reference price of $22.05 per share (the “Combination”). Upon consummation of the Combination, the Company will become an internally-managed, diversified commercial real estate and investment management company which will employ Colony Capital’s personnel including all of Colony Capital’s senior executives and will be led by Thomas J. Barrack, Jr., our Executive Chairman, and Richard B. Saltzman, our Chief Executive Officer and President, who have each entered into five-year employment agreements and related lock-up and non-competition arrangements with the Company. Following the Combination, the Company will earn fees related to the management of Colony Capital’s existing private equity funds and replace management fees paid by the Company to Colony Capital with directly incurred costs as an internally-managed REIT. Further, the Company will have exclusive use of the Colony name to sponsor new investment vehicles as general partner and receive all attendant fees and 60% of any carried interest (40% will be allocated to members of our management team, investment professionals and other individuals consistent with general market practice). The Company will change its name from Colony Financial, Inc. to Colony Capital, Inc., but the Company’s common stock, which will be reclassified as Class A Common Stock, will continue to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol CLNY. The Combination is expected to close in the first half of 2015 and remains subject to the approval of two-thirds of the Company’s non-affiliated shareholders voting at the special meeting for shareholders on Tuesday, March 31, 2015 and certain other customary closing conditions.

 

   

The Company acquired a portfolio of light industrial real estate properties and associated operating platform from Cobalt Capital Partners, L.P. and its affiliates. The portfolio consists of 256 light industrial assets totaling 298 buildings of approximately 30 million square feet. The total acquisition cost, including transaction costs of $7.4 million, was approximately $1.6 billion. The acquisition was financed with a $1.1 billion mortgage loan from a financial institution and a $10 million unsecured note issued to an affiliate of Cobalt Capital Partners, L.P. who will continue to manage the portfolio and its day-to-day operations. The portfolio acquisition was completed through an indirectly owned operating partnership with third-party limited partners representing a 37% ownership interest, while the Company acquired 100% of the associated operating platform. The Company may sell additional interests to other limited partner participants in the future subject to retaining a minimum 51% interest in the portfolio. The Company invested $353 million for its 63% share in the equity of the portfolio and $20 million for its 100% interest in the associated operating platform. The Company as general partner is entitled to (i) quarterly profits


 

interest distributions, equal to (a) 0.4% of limited partners’ capital contributions used during a quarter to fund an investment plus (b) 0.1% of limited partners’ net funded capital contributions as of the last day of the previous fiscal quarter, and (ii) carried interest distributions pursuant to the partnership agreement. Further, the Company and third-party limited partners have committed $390 million to fund future light industrial acquisitions according to their respective percentage interests.

 

    The Company, in a joint venture with a Co-Investment Fund, originated a $305 million senior loan construction facility and separate preferred equity interest to finance the development of a $370 million, 1,066-key full-service convention hotel located in Austin, Texas and managed by a world-renowned, luxury hotel operator. The facility has a five year initial term with 2 one-year extension options, a 1% origination fee, an interest rate of 7.5% and a 40% profit participation through the preferred equity interest. The joint venture expects to ultimately fund its commitment over the next three years and further expects to participate a senior interest in the loan. The Company’s share of this investment is 50%.

 

    The Company originated ten first mortgage loans and four mezzanine loans with an aggregate fully-funded UPB of $328 million within its Transitional CRE Lending Platform. The loans bear interest, on a weighted average basis, at one-month LIBOR plus 6.1%, and have initial terms of one to three years. The loans feature one to three 12-month extension options subject to payment of extension fees and satisfaction of certain performance metrics. The underlying collateral includes office, retail, industrial, residential and multifamily properties.

 

    The Company originated a $77 million first mortgage acquisition loan facility primarily collateralized by a 2.5 acre land parcel in San Francisco. Of the committed amount, the Company funded $55 million, including a $5 million interest reserve and a 1% origination fee. The loan has a 2-year initial term and bears an interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 8.0% and includes an option to participate in the future vertical construction phase of the project.

 

    The Company, in a joint venture with a Co-Investment Fund, acquired a real estate portfolio from an Italian financial institution in a privately negotiated transaction for €175 million. Approximately €79 million of the purchase price was deferred and is payable over a four year term. The portfolio consists of 113 properties located mainly in Northern Italy and includes commercial properties leased to banking institutions on a long-term basis, vacant properties to be sold as-is, and one property planned for redevelopment into a residential use. At closing, the joint venture invested €96 million, or $120 million, net of deferred payment. The assets are held in an Italian real estate fund of which the Company’s share is 50%, or $60 million.

 

    The Company, in a joint venture with a Co-Investment Fund, originated a $95 million senior loan facility to finance the construction of a 317-key boutique four-star hotel located in Southern California. The loan has a 3-year initial term with 2 one-year extension options, a 1.0% origination fee, 0.5% extension fee and bears an interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 9.0% with a LIBOR floor of 0.5%. The joint venture expects to ultimately fund its commitment over the next 18 months and further expects to participate a senior interest in the loan. The Company’s share of this investment is 50%.

 

    The Company, in a joint venture with a Co-Investment Fund and a minority unaffiliated investor, originated a €53 million loan to a distressed European real estate company that owns 82 properties in France and Spain consisting of office, hotel, industrial and retail properties. Overall loan-to-value is approximately 72%. The loan is secured by a share pledge from the parent holding company that owns the real estate. The loan matures in 6 years and bears a 15% interest rate, of which 7% is paid current and 8% is paid-in-kind for the first 2 years, and fully paid current thereafter. The Company and Co-Investment Fund own 67% of the investment made by the joint venture and the Company’s 50% share as between the Company and the Co-Investment Fund is approximately €18 million or $22 million.


    The Company, in a joint venture with Co-Investment Funds, together with a 10% unaffiliated third-party investor, acquired a €49 million, or $60 million, industrial portfolio in Spain and Portugal in a sale-leaseback transaction representing an initial capitalization rate of approximately 8%. The portfolio of fourteen warehouse facilities in Spain and two in Portugal are fully occupied by a Spanish manufacturer with lease terms ranging from 12 to 15 years. The third-party investor, a Spanish real estate company, will manage the properties. The joint venture between the Company and Co-Investment Funds holds a 90% interest in this investment, of which our share is 50%, or $27 million.

 

    The Company, in a joint venture with a Co-Investment Fund, originated a $38 million mezzanine loan secured by an interest in a vacant office building located within the North Michigan Avenue submarket of Chicago. The proceeds were used to finance the acquisition and subsequent redevelopment of the property into an approximately $133 million, 285-key, luxury branded hotel. The mezzanine loan was fully funded at closing. An institutional construction lender committed to provide a first mortgage construction loan at closing. The mezzanine loan has a three-year initial term with two one-year extension options, 1.0% origination fee, 2.5% exit fee, an interest rate of LIBOR plus 13.9% (of which LIBOR plus 4.3% is paid-in-kind), LIBOR floor of 0.7%. The investment also includes a separate 17.5% profit participation. The Company’s share of this investment is 50%, or $19 million.

 

    The Company transferred 298 performing first mortgage loans secured by multifamily properties with a combined $316 million UPB into a securitization trust. The majority of the loans were acquired from Fannie Mae in the second quarter of 2014 with the balance acquired in the third quarter from a commercial bank. The securitization trust sold $217 million of matched-term, non-recourse senior bonds, or 69% of UPB, at a weighted average fixed rate of 2.54%. The Company’s retained interest yields 13% before the amortization of financing costs.

 

    The Company completed its second securitization transaction within its Transitional CRE Lending Platform on fifteen loans totaling $308 million of UPB and sold $205 million of matched-term, non-recourse senior bonds with a weighted average coupon of LIBOR plus 1.96%. The Company’s retained interests of $103 million yield a blended rate of LIBOR plus 12% before fees and expenses.

 

    The Company amended its Credit Agreement to increase revolving loan commitments by $225 million to $645 million, including $25 million of additional commitments which closed in the first quarter of 2015. Our current borrowing base availability is in excess of the total commitment of $645 million; as such, the Company has full access to the total commitment. The amendment (a) reduced the minimum fixed charge coverage covenant level to 1.50x from 2.25x, (b) increased the maximum permitted total leverage ratio to 65% from 50%, (c) eliminated the higher interest rate tier of LIBOR plus 3.00% resulting in one interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.75%, and (d) modified certain other covenants and provisions to allow additional flexibility for future potential organizational changes and acquisitions, including the potential Combination with Colony Capital, LLC.

 

   

The Company maintained its funded investment in CAH OP (otherwise known as CAH or Colony American Homes) at $550 million. As of December 31, 2014, CAH owned approximately 18,700 homes in ten states and the overall portfolio was 87% occupied, up from 83% occupied as of September 30, 2014. As of February 13, 2015, CAH owned approximately 18,900 homes and the overall portfolio was 88% occupied. CAH continues to focus on Colony American Finance (“CAF”), its wholly owned subsidiary that lends to other owners of single family homes for rent. Expansion of this lending program will remain a strategic initiative and once scaled, CAF’s loan


 

portfolio may be financed with securitizations. During the quarter, CAH announced it had completed the internalization of its external manager, entered Raleigh and Charlotte, North Carolina and Nashville, Tennessee as new markets for its core business and has now closed in excess of $500 million of loans within CAF.

Activities Subsequent to Fourth Quarter 2014

 

    The Company originated three first mortgage loans and two mezzanine loans with an aggregate UPB of $70 million within the Company’s Transitional CRE Lending Platform. The loans bear interest, on a weighted average basis, at 1-month LIBOR plus 4.6%, and have initial terms of 2 to 3 years. The underlying collateral is multifamily properties.

 

    The Company acquired two single-tenant net leased properties that are campuses for two separate universities under common ownership in Switzerland for CHF 174.5 million. Both universities, which are leaders in international hospitality management, signed a new master triple net lease for a 20 year term with a guaranty from the common owner. Concurrent with the acquisition, the Company obtained a CHF 122 million, 15 year term, non-recourse, 2.7% fixed-rate loan resulting in an initial cash-on-cash yield of approximately 11%. Net of the financings, the Company invested CHF 52 million, or $54 million.

 

    Earlier in 2014, the Company committed $100 million of new equity in a consortium that agreed to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Safeway Inc. pursuant to a merger agreement. In January 2015, the Company invested $50 million of equity, alongside $50 million from a passive co-investment partner. The Company owns an indirect interest in AB Acquisition LLC, the consortium’s holding company that includes ownership interests in 2,230 grocery stores across a range of recognized brands including Safeway and Albertsons.

 

    The Company, in a joint venture with a Co-Investment Fund, agreed to fund up to $80 million of preferred equity to recapitalize a primarily stabilized multifamily portfolio composed of 16 communities totaling approximately 4,800 units in Georgia, Texas and Louisiana. The preferred equity provides a 12.5% preferred return and 1% issuance fee. The preferred equity was structured with a full repayment guaranty from the sponsor and full excess cash flow sweep until an 8.25% debt yield is achieved. The joint venture funded $44 million and expects to fund the remaining $36 million within the second half of 2015. The Company’s share of this investment is 50%, or $22 million of initial funding.

 

    The Company, in a joint venture with Co-Investment Funds, acquired a multi-tenant office building in the United Kingdom in a short sale transaction for £20 million, or $30 million representing an initial capitalization rate of 7.5%. The acquisition also includes an adjacent 1.5 acre site with planning consent in-place for an additional 100,000 square foot office building. The Company’s share of this investment is 50%, or $15.0 million.

 

    In May 2012, the Company, in a joint venture with a Co-Investment Fund, originated a mezzanine loan facility which currently totals $34 million on eight select-service hotels in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. In December 2013, the joint venture originated a separate mezzanine loan facility which is cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized with the original facility to provide construction mezzanine debt on six select-service hotel developments in Massachusetts and New Jersey with a total committed balance of $27 million, of which $21 million is drawn. In February 2015, the joint venture expanded the second facility by $21 million adding three select-service hotel developments in Massachusetts and New York and $9 million was drawn at closing. The combined facilities total $82 million, of which $64 million is drawn and bear a blended 13% fixed interest rate. The joint venture also received a 1% origination fee on the total facility commitment. The Company’s share of this investment is 50%, or $32 million funded.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Core Earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, is used to compute incentive fees payable to the Company’s manager and the Company believes it is a useful measure for investors to better understand the Company’s recurring earnings from its core business. For these purposes, “Core Earnings” mean the net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) non-cash equity compensation expense, (ii) the expenses incurred in connection with the formation of the Company and the Initial Public Offering, including the initial and additional underwriting discounts and commissions, (iii) the incentive fee, (iv) real estate depreciation and amortization, (v) any unrealized gains or losses from mark to market valuation changes (other than permanent impairment) that are included in net income, (vi) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and (vii) non-cash items which in the judgment of management should not be included in Core Earnings. For clauses (vi) and (vii), such exclusions shall only be applied after discussions between the manager and the Independent Directors and approval by a majority of the Independent Directors.

Fair Value, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated by adjusting the Company’s GAAP equity, or book value, by marking-to-market all assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests. The Company believes this is a useful measure for investors to better understand the market value of the Company’s net assets.

(1) For the three months ended December 31, 2014 and the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, included in the calculation of diluted Core Earnings per common share is the effect of adding back $4.2 million, $23.3 million and $7.6 million, respectively, of interest expense associated with convertible senior notes and 16,218,400, 20,784,600 and 6,154,100 weighted average dilutive common share equivalents, respectively, for the assumed conversion of the convertible senior notes. The effect of the assumed conversion for the stated periods was antidilutive to net income per common share but dilutive to Core Earnings per common share.
