Equity Commonwealth Reports Second Quarter 2016 Results
Chicago - July 28, 2016 - Equity Commonwealth (NYSE: EQC) today reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. All per share results are reported on a diluted basis.
Financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2016
Operating income was $0.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. This compares to $34.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. Net income attributable to common shareholders was $71.3 million, or $0.56 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. This compares to net income attributable to common shareholders of $5.6 million, or $0.04 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. The following items impacted net income attributable to common shareholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, compared to the corresponding 2015 period:
• | $0.86 per share increase in the gain on sale of properties; |
• | ($0.22) per share of loss on asset impairment; and |
• | ($0.16) per share of lower net operating income (NOI). |
Funds from Operations (FFO), as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, were $45.7 million, or $0.36 per share. This compares to FFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 of $77.2 million, or $0.59 per share.
Normalized FFO was $53.6 million, or $0.42 per share. This compares to Normalized FFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 of $67.8 million, or $0.52 per share. The following items impacted Normalized FFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, compared to the corresponding 2015 period:
• | ($0.28) per share of income from properties sold as part of the company’s previously announced repositioning plan; |
• | ($0.03) per share of same property cash NOI; |
• | $0.12 per share of same property lease termination fee income; and |
• | $0.05 per share of interest expense savings. |
Normalized FFO begins with FFO and eliminates certain items that, by their nature, are not comparable from period to period, non-cash items, and items that tend to obscure the company’s operating performance. Definitions of FFO, Normalized FFO and reconciliations to net income, determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, are included at the end of this press release.
The weighted average number of diluted common shares outstanding for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was 126,936,590 shares, compared to 130,537,044 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.
Same property results for the quarter ended June 30, 2016
The company’s same property portfolio consisted of 45 properties totaling 20.7 million square feet, which excludes four properties designated as held for sale at the end of the quarter. Operating results were as follows:
• | The same property portfolio was 90.3% leased as of June 30, 2016, compared to 90.6% as of March 31, 2016, and 91.3% as of June 30, 2015. |
• | The company entered into leases for approximately 802,000 square feet, including renewal leases for approximately 307,000 square feet and new leases for approximately 495,000 square feet. |

• | GAAP rental rates on new and renewal leases were 6.9% higher compared to prior GAAP rental rates for the same space. |
• | Cash rental rates on new and renewal leases were 3.7% lower compared to prior cash rental rates for the same space. |
• | Same property NOI increased 19.2% when compared to the same period in 2015, largely due to $17.4 million in lease termination fees received during the quarter. |
• | Same property cash NOI, which adjusts for lease termination fees, decreased 5.7% when compared to the same period in 2015. |
The definitions and reconciliations of same property NOI and same property cash NOI to operating income, determined in accordance with GAAP, are included at the end of this press release. The same property portfolio includes properties continuously owned from April 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 and excludes properties owned during this period that are designated as held for sale.

(1 | ) | On May 15, 2016, we redeemed all of our 11,000,000 outstanding series E preferred shares at a price of $25.00 per share, for a total of $275.0 million, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. The redemption payment occurred on May 16, 2016 (the first business day following the redemption date). We recorded $9.6 million related to the excess fair value of consideration paid over the carrying value of the preferred shares as a reduction to FFO attributable to Equity Commonwealth common shareholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. |
(2 | ) | Amounts relate to contractual cash payments (including management fees) from one tenant at Arizona Center. Arizona Center was sold during the fourth quarter of 2015. Our calculation of Normalized FFO reflects the cash payments received from this tenant. The terms of this tenant's lease required us to classify the lease as a direct financing (or capital) lease. As such, the revenue recognized on a GAAP basis within our condensed consolidated statements of operations was $119 and $260 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. |
(3 | ) | Shareholder litigation and transition related expenses within general and administrative for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 is primarily related to the shareholder-approved liability for the reimbursement of expenses incurred by Related/Corvex since February 2013 in connection with their consent solicitations to remove the former Trustees, elect the new Board of Trustees and engage in related litigation. Approximately $16.7 million was reimbursed to Related/Corvex during 2014, and on August 4, 2015, we reimbursed $8.4 million to Related/Corvex under the terms of the shareholder-approved agreement. An additional $8.4 million will be reimbursed only if the average closing price of our common shares is at least $26.00 (as adjusted for any share splits or share dividends) from August 1, 2015 through July 31, 2016. As of June 30, 2016, the fair value of this liability is $8.4 million. No shareholder litigation related expenses were incurred during 2016. |
(4 | ) | As of June 30, 2016, we had granted RSUs to certain employees, officers, and the Chairman of the Board of Trustees. The RSUs contain both service and market-based vesting components. None of the RSUs have vested. If the market-based vesting component was measured as of June 30, 2016, and 2015, 1,429 and 803 common shares would be issued to the RSU holders, respectively. Using a weighted average basis, 1,429 and 804 common shares are reflected in diluted earnings per common share, diluted FFO per common share, and diluted Normalized FFO per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and 1,555 and 491 common shares are reflected in these measures for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 respectively. |

CALCULATION OF FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (FFO) AND NORMALIZED FFO
(amounts in thousands, except per share data)
We compute FFO in accordance with 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 real estate depreciation and amortization, gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable property, impairment of depreciable real estate, and our portion of these items related to equity investees and noncontrolling interests. Our calculation of Normalized FFO differs from NAREIT’s definition of FFO because we exclude certain items that we view as nonrecurring or impacting comparability from period to period. We consider FFO and Normalized FFO to be appropriate measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net income, net income attributable to Equity Commonwealth common shareholders, operating income and cash flow from operating activities. |
We believe that FFO and Normalized FFO provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation expense, FFO and Normalized FFO may facilitate a comparison of our operating performance between periods and with other REITs. FFO and Normalized FFO do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, net income attributable to Equity Commonwealth common shareholders, operating income or cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, or as indicators of our financial performance or liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of our needs. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income, net income attributable to Equity Commonwealth common shareholders, operating income and cash flow from operating activities as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate FFO and Normalized FFO differently than we do. |

CALCULATION OF SAME PROPERTY NET OPERATING INCOME (NOI) AND SAME PROPERTY CASH BASIS NOI
(amounts in thousands)
NOI is income from our real estate including lease termination fees received from tenants less our property operating expenses. NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions and corporate level expenses. Cash Basis NOI is NOI excluding the effects of straight line rent adjustments, lease value amortization, and lease termination fees. The quarter-to-date same property versions of these measures include the results of properties continuously owned from April 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. The year-to-date same property versions of these measures include the results of properties continuously owned from January 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. Properties classified as held for sale within our condensed consolidated balance sheets are excluded from the same property versions of these measures. |
We consider these measures to be appropriate supplemental measures to net income because they help to understand the operations of our properties. We use these measures internally to evaluate property level performance, and we believe that they provide useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because they reflect only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level and may facilitate comparisons of our operating performance between periods and with other REITs. Cash Basis NOI is among the factors considered with respect to acquisition, disposition and financing decisions. These measures do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, net income attributable to Equity Commonwealth common shareholders, operating income or cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, or as indicators of our financial performance or liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of our needs. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income, net income attributable to Equity Commonwealth common shareholders, operating income and cash flow from operating activities as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate these measures differently than we do. |
