JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI, October 19, 2016 - EastGroup Properties, Inc. (NYSE: EGP) announced today the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Commenting on EastGroup’s performance, Marshall Loeb, CEO, stated, “We are pleased with strong third quarter results. Our 10.6% rise in quarterly FFO means that we’ve now achieved FFO per share increases in 21 of the past 22 quarters. Our strategy is simple, straightforward and is working over a long period during what continues to be a healthy industrial environment.

“Outside of operations, we’re proud of the asset recycling completed year-to-date. Selling older, non-core Houston assets creates further geographic diversification, reduces the average portfolio age and is allowing us to reinvest into higher yielding assets. We view asset recycling as a healthy segment of our long term strategy.”

EARNINGS PER SHARE

On a diluted per share basis, earnings per common share (EPS) was $.45 and $2.47 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, compared to $.37 and $1.13 for the same periods of 2015. EPS for the three months ended September 30, 2016 included gains on sales of non-operating real estate of $590,000 ($.02 per share); there were no gains on sales during the third quarter of 2015. EPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 included gains on sales of real estate investments and non-operating real estate of $43,046,000 ($1.32 per share) compared to $3,026,000 ($.09 per share) for the same period of 2015.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

For the quarter ended September 30, 2016, funds from operations attributable to common stockholders (FFO) was $1.04 per share compared to $.94 per share for the same quarter of 2015, an increase of 10.6%.

Common Stockholders to FFO are presented in the attached schedule “Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures.”

ACQUISITIONS AND SALES

During the third quarter, EastGroup acquired Flagler Center in the Southside submarket of Jacksonville, Florida, for $24 million. The 358,000 square foot complex contains three multi-tenant business distribution buildings and is currently 100% leased.

Also during the third quarter, EastGroup sold land in Houston (11.5 acres), Dallas (8.1 acres) and Orlando (.1 acres) in separate transactions for a total of $4.1 million. The Company recognized gains on the sales of $590,000 in the third quarter; the gains were included in FFO.

DEVELOPMENT

During the third quarter, EastGroup acquired Parc North, a four-building business distribution complex in Fort Worth (Dallas), Texas, for $32 million. The buildings, which contain 446,000 square feet and are currently 42% leased, were recently developed by the seller and are considered to be in the lease-up phase of development. Parc North will transfer to the real estate portfolio at the earlier of 80% occupancy or February 2017, which is one year after shell completion.

Furthering its expansion into the Fort Worth area, the Company also acquired 15.5 acres of land adjacent to Parc North for $2.5 million. The land can accommodate two buildings totaling approximately 200,000 square feet; this future construction will expand the master planned Parc North project to a total of six buildings with approximately 650,000 square feet at full buildout.

Also during the third quarter, EastGroup began construction of SunCoast 4, a 93,000 square foot multi-tenant business distribution building in Fort Myers with a projected total cost of $8.7 million.

DIVIDENDS

EastGroup increased its quarterly common stock dividend 3.3% to $.62 per share in the third quarter of 2016. This was the Company’s 147th consecutive quarterly cash distribution to shareholders.  EastGroup has increased or maintained its dividend for 24 consecutive years. The Company has increased it 21 years within that period, including increases in each of the last five years.  The Company’s payout ratio of dividends to FFO was 60% for the third quarter.  The annualized dividend rate of $2.48 per share yielded 3.6% on the closing stock price of $69.75 on October 18, 2016.

FINANCIAL STRENGTH AND FLEXIBILITY

EastGroup continues to maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet.  Debt-to-total market capitalization was 29.7% at September 30, 2016.  For the third quarter, the Company had interest and fixed charge coverage ratios of 4.87x and a debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) ratio of 5.92x.

On July 29, 2016, EastGroup closed a $40 million senior unsecured term loan with a five-year term and interest only payments. It bears interest at the annual rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin (currently 1.10%) based on the Company's senior unsecured long-term debt rating. The Company also entered into an interest rate swap agreement to convert the loan's LIBOR rate component to a fixed interest rate for the entire term of the loan providing a total effective fixed interest rate of 2.335%.

In August, EastGroup repaid (with no penalty) an $80 million unsecured term loan with an effectively fixed interest rate of 2.770% and an original maturity date of August 15, 2018. On the same day, the Company borrowed $80 million through its $300 million unsecured bank credit facility; the maturity date for the credit facility is July 30, 2019. The Company re-designated the interest rate swap that was previously applied to the $80 million unsecured term loan to the $80 million unsecured bank credit facility borrowing. The $80 million unsecured bank credit facility draw has an effectively fixed interest rate of 2.020% through the interest rate swap's maturity date of August 15, 2018. The interest savings for the remaining two years of the loan is 75 basis points ($600,000) per year.

Also in August, the Company repaid (with no penalty) a mortgage loan with a balance of $24.5 million, an interest rate of 5.68% and an original maturity date of September 5, 2016. The loan was collateralized by two properties containing 778,000 square feet.

In September, EastGroup repaid (with no penalty) a mortgage loan with a balance of $51.2 million, an interest rate of 5.97% and an original maturity date of October 5, 2016. The loan was collateralized by 1.4 million square feet of operating properties.

DEFINITIONS

The Company’s chief decision makers use two primary measures of operating results in making decisions:  (1) property net operating income (PNOI), defined as Income from real estate operations less Expenses from real estate operations (including market-based internal management fee expense) plus the Company's share of income and property operating expenses from its less-than-wholly-owned real estate investments, and (2) funds from operations attributable to common stockholders (FFO).  EastGroup defines FFO consistent with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts’ definition, as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of depreciable real estate property and impairment losses, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

PNOI and FFO are supplemental industry reporting measurements used to evaluate the performance of the Company’s investments in real estate assets and its operating results. The Company believes that the exclusion of depreciation and amortization in the industry’s calculations of PNOI and FFO provides supplemental indicators of the properties’ performance since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions.  PNOI and FFO as calculated by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled but differently calculated measures for other REITs.  Investors should be aware that items excluded from or added back to FFO are significant components in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial performance.

The Company's chief decision makers also use earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in making decisions. EBITDA is defined as Net Income, excluding gains or losses from sales of depreciable real estate property, plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
