INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY TRUST INC.

SUPPLEMENTAL REPORTING PACKAGE

FOR THE QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015

 

 

Quarter Ended December 31, 2015 Financial and Operating Results

DENVER, CO – March 22, 2016: Industrial Property Trust Inc. (referred to herein as “we,” “our,” “us,” and “IPT”) is reporting herein results for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, which supplement our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 10, 2016.

The following is an overview of our financial and operating results for the quarter ended December 31, 2015:

 

    We acquired, directly or through a joint venture partnership, 61 industrial buildings, comprising approximately 7.3 million square feet in 14 markets, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $632.7 million, exclusive of transfer taxes, due diligence expenses, and other closing costs. Included in these amounts are two industrial buildings acquired by the joint venture partnership, comprising 0.4 million square feet for an aggregate purchase price of $36.0 million, exclusive of transfer taxes, due diligence expenses, and other closing costs.

 

    Our net operating income was $14.5 million and $3.3 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

    Our net loss was $17.7 million, or $0.23 per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, as compared to $7.8 million, or $0.41 per share, for the same period in 2014.

 

    We had Company-Defined Funds from Operations (“FFO”) of $10.3 million, or $0.135 per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, as compared to $2.4 million, or $0.125 per share, for the same period in 2014.

We effectively commenced real estate operations in January 2014 in connection with the acquisition of our first property. As we are currently in the acquisition phase of our life cycle and the results of our operations are primarily impacted by the timing of our acquisitions, our operating results for the quarters ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 are not directly comparable, nor are our results of operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 indicative of those expected in future periods. We believe that our revenues, operating expenses and interest expense will continue to increase in future periods as a result of continued growth in our portfolio and as a result of the incremental effect of anticipated future acquisitions of industrial real estate properties.

Public Earnings Call

We will host a public conference call on Tuesday, March 29, 2016 to review quarterly and year-end operating and financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2015. Dwight Merriman, Chief Executive Officer, and Tom McGonagle, Chief Financial Officer, will present operating and financial data and discuss the Company’s corporate strategy and acquisition and development activity. The conference call will take place at 2:15 p.m. MDT and can be accessed by dialing (877) 742-5590; conference ID 1555464. To access a replay of the call, contact Dividend Capital at (866) 324-7348.

Net Operating Income (“NOI”)

We define NOI as generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) rental revenues less GAAP rental expenses. We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure and believe NOI provides useful information to our investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because NOI reflects the operating performance of our properties and excludes certain items that are not considered to be controllable in connection with the management of the properties, such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization, acquisition-related expenses, general and administrative

expenses, and interest expense. However, NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance since it excludes such expenses, which could materially impact our results of operations. Further, our NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as they may use different methodologies for calculating NOI. Therefore, we believe net loss, as defined by GAAP, to be the most appropriate measure to evaluate our overall performance. Refer to the reconciliation below of our GAAP net loss to NOI.

FFO and Company-Defined FFO

We believe that FFO and Company-defined FFO, in addition to net loss and cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP, are useful supplemental performance measures that our management uses to evaluate our consolidated operating performance. However, these supplemental, non-GAAP measures should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or to cash flows from operating activities as an indication of our performance and are not intended to be used as a liquidity measure indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. No single measure can provide users of financial information with sufficient information and only our disclosures read as a whole can be relied upon to adequately portray our financial position, liquidity, and results of operations. Fees deferred or waived by the Advisor and payments received from the Advisor pursuant to the expense support agreement are included in determining our net loss, which is used to determine FFO and Company-defined FFO. If we had not received expense support from the Advisor, our FFO and Company-defined FFO would have been lower. In addition, other REITs may define FFO and similar measures differently and choose to treat acquisition-related costs and potentially other accounting line items in a manner different from us due to specific differences in investment and operating strategy or for other reasons.

FFO. As defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), FFO is a non-GAAP measure that excludes certain items such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization. We believe FFO is a meaningful supplemental measure of our operating performance that is useful to investors because depreciation and amortization in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. We use FFO as an indication of our consolidated operating performance and as a guide to making decisions about future investments.

Company-defined FFO. Similar to FFO, Company-defined FFO is a non-GAAP measure that excludes real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and also excludes acquisition-related costs (including acquisition fees paid to the Advisor) and organization costs, each of which are characterized as expenses in determining net loss under GAAP. Organization costs are excluded as they are paid in cash and relate to costs paid in conjunction with the organization of the Company. The purchase of operating properties is a key strategic objective of our business plan focused on generating growth in operating income and cash flow in order to make distributions to investors. However, the corresponding acquisition-related costs are driven by transactional activity rather than factors specific to the on-going operating performance of our properties or investments. In addition, if we acquire a property after all offering proceeds from our public offerings have been invested, there will not be any offering proceeds to pay the corresponding acquisition-related costs. Accordingly, unless the Advisor determines to waive the payment or reimbursement of these acquisition-related costs, then such costs will be paid from additional debt, operational earnings or cash flow, net proceeds from the sale of properties, or ancillary cash flows. As such, Company-defined FFO may not be a complete indicator of our operating performance, especially during periods in which properties are being acquired, and may not be a useful measure of the long-term operating performance of our properties if we do not continue to operate our business plan as disclosed.

We are currently in the acquisition phase of our life cycle. Management does not include historical acquisition-related expenses in its evaluation of future operating performance, as such costs are not expected to be incurred once our acquisition phase is complete. In addition, management does not include organization costs as those costs are also not expected to be incurred now that we have commenced operations. We use Company-defined FFO to, among other things: (i) evaluate and compare the potential performance of the portfolio after the acquisition phase is complete, and (ii) evaluate potential performance to determine liquidity event strategies. We believe Company-defined FFO facilitate a comparison to other REITs that are not engaged in significant acquisition activity and have similar operating characteristics as us. We believe investors are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analyses and evaluation with the same performance metrics used by management in planning and executing our business strategy. We believe that these performance metrics will assist investors in evaluating the potential performance of the portfolio after the completion of the acquisition phase. However, these supplemental, non-GAAP measures are not necessarily indicative of future performance and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or to cash flows from operating activities and are not intended to be used as a liquidity measure indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs. Neither the SEC, NAREIT, nor any regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments used to calculate Company-defined FFO. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT, or a regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the non-traded REIT industry at which point we may adjust our calculation and characterization of Company-defined FFO.
