Four Corners Property Trust, Inc. Announces 2015 Financial Results

Company Release 3/10/2016

MILL VALLEY, CA – Business Wire – Four Corners Property Trust, Inc. (“Four Corners” or the “Company”, NYSE: FCPT) today announced operating results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015.

A supplemental financial and operating report that contains non-GAAP measures and other defined terms, along with this press release, has been posted to the investor relations section of the company’s website at http://investors.fourcornerspropertytrust.com/.

Company Highlights (including Subsequent Events):

 

    On November 9, 2015, completed the separation from Darden Restaurants, Inc. and initiated operations as an independent company.

 

    Began operating as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes beginning January 1, 2016.

 

    In preparation for our REIT election, declared and paid two dividends in the first quarter of 2016:

 

    an all-cash dividend of $8.5 million ($0.20 per then outstanding share) which was paid on January 29, 2016 and represented funds distributed for the period from November 9, 2015 through December 31, 2015, and

 

    a cash and stock dividend of $347.0 million ($8.12 per share) which was paid on March 2, 2016, and represented the Company’s estimated share of taxable earnings and profits generated before the spin-out date of November 9, 2016. The dividend was paid 20% in cash ($69.4 million) and 80% in shares of common stock at a value of $16.24 per share. The stock distribution consisted of 17,085,566 shares and increased the total shares outstanding by 40.0% to a total of 59,827,561 shares.

 

    Established a $750 million credit facility consisting of a fully funded $400 million 5-year term loan and a $350 million 4-year undrawn revolving credit facility of $350 million.

Real Estate Portfolio:

As of December 31, 2015, Four Corners’ portfolio consists of 424 restaurant properties located in 44 states. The properties are 100% occupied with 418 properties leased to Darden Restaurants under long-term, triple net leases with a weighted average remaining lease term of approximately 14.5 years and an estimated portfolio weighted average EBITDAR to Lease Rent coverage of 4.2x. The remaining six properties are owned and ground leased properties operated by a taxable REIT subsidiary of Four Corners under a franchise agreement with LongHorn Steakhouse.

CEO Comments:

“We are off to a strong start in establishing Four Corners as a premier owner of net-leased restaurant properties,” said Bill Lenehan, Chief Executive Officer. “Going forward, we intend to pursue a disciplined investment approach focused on acquiring properties that are well located, occupied by durable restaurant concepts, with rents well covered by operations.”


Summary Financial Results:

 

    The Company reported income, Funds from Operation (FFO) and Adjusted Funds from Operation (AFFO) based on 52 days of lease rental income since the spin-out date of November 9th and a full year of activity in our six-property restaurant operating subsidiary.

 

    Because the 2015 results only represent a short, stub period of lease operations, the Company’s First Quarter 2016 results will be more indicative of its future results.
