Four Corners Property Trust, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2016 Earnings

MILL VALLEY, CA – May 9, 2016 / Business Wire – Four Corners Property Trust, Inc. (“Four Corners” or the “Company”, NYSE: FCPT) announced today its operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

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/.

Highlights for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2016:

 

    Net income per diluted common share of $1.57. The reported results included an $80.4 million non-cash income tax benefit from the reversal of deferred tax liabilities due to the Company’s plan to elect REIT status commencing with the 2016 tax year. The tax benefit is not included in the Company’s calculation of FFO and AFFO.

 

    Rental income of $26.3 million, or $23.7 million of cash rents after excluding straight-line rent adjustments, earned on the 418 properties leased to Darden Restaurants.

 

    Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) of $17.3 million or $0.29 per diluted common share.

 

    General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the quarter of $3.3 million including $0.3 million of non-cash, stock-based compensation. The quarter’s results included expenses incurred in connection with the initiation of the Company’s operations – specifically, costs related to the earnings and profits distribution, the production of the Company’s initial 10-K and other legal and advisory costs – some of which will not be incurred going forward. Management reconfirms its guidance for an annual G&A run rate of approximately $10 million, excluding non-cash stock-based compensation and acquisition transaction costs.

 

    Declared regular dividend of $0.2425 per common share for the first quarter of 2016.

 

    Maintained approximately $370 million of liquidity at quarter end from cash and available capacity on the Company’s undrawn $350 million, 4-year revolving credit facility.

CEO Comments:

“Darden, our primary tenant, continues to post strong performance and its credit rating was recently upgraded by all three rating agencies,” said Bill Lenehan, Chief Executive Officer. “Our existing portfolio has performed exactly as expected. Although we did not close any transactions in the first quarter, we are very pleased with the progress we made in refining our acquisition criteria and in recruiting an acquisition team. Our transaction pipeline is strong and we will remain disciplined in pricing assets.”

As of March 31, 2016, Four Corners’ portfolio consisted 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 14.3 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.
