Washington Prime Group Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2016 Results

Company Has Completed Sale of All Noncore Properties
Board of Directors Declares Quarterly Dividend


COLUMBUS, OH - Feb. 22, 2017 - Washington Prime Group Inc. (NYSE: WPG) today reported financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

Lou Conforti, CEO and Director stated. “Since assuming the role of CEO, my primary objective has been to foundationally strengthen WPG via straightforward financial and operational measures.  We have accomplished the former as illustrated by dramatically improved financial metrics which now rank among the best within our sector.  In addition, our operational results further prove we are ‘grinding it out’ as our Enclosed assets exhibited stability and Open Air assets actually led the peer group from a Comparable NOI standpoint.”

“Our focus for the foreseeable future is, of course, to lease space by providing innovative solutions as well as a heightened focus upon redevelopment which we believe is our best value add proposition,” added Conforti. “We also continue to provide absolute transparency as it relates to the retail landscape in general, and department store specifically, and maintain a proactive stance as it relates to adaptive reuse of such space.  Last, the Company is adopting dynamic innovation measures which result in a differentiated guest experience.”

Fourth Quarter Results

Net income attributable to common shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $25.4 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $(97.0) million, or $(0.53) per diluted share, a year ago. The increase in net income relates primarily to a $136.9 million decrease in impairment charges compared to the fourth quarter of 2015 related to the Company’s noncore properties, a $4.9 million decrease in general and administrative costs, compared to the prior year period, as well as no merger, restructuring and transaction costs compared to $3.5 million in such costs in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Funds from Operations (FFO)¹ for the fourth quarter of 2016 were $107.4 million, or $0.49 per diluted share. This compares to $104.5 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, during the same quarter a year ago. Merger, restructuring and transaction costs of $(3.5) million for the fourth quarter of 2015 are excluded from adjusted FFO (AFFO)¹, as well as a gain on extinguishment of debt of $0.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2016. When excluding these items, AFFO for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $106.9 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, which compares to $108.0 million, or $0.49 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2015.

Comparable net operating income (NOI)¹ for the Company’s core portfolio increased 0.7% during the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to the same period a year ago, which was in line with internal expectations.

Fiscal Year 2016 Results

Net income attributable to common shareholders for fiscal year 2016 was $53.1 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $(101.3) million, or $(0.55) per diluted share, a year ago. The increase in net income relates





primarily to a $126.1 million decrease in impairment charges compared to fiscal year 2015 related to the Company’s noncore properties, a $10.8 million decrease in general and administrative costs, compared to fiscal 2015, as well as a $51.3 million decrease in depreciation and amortization in fiscal 2016, compared to a year ago.

Funds from Operations (FFO) for fiscal year 2016 were $398.1 million, or $1.80 per diluted share. This compares to $375.3 million, or $1.71 per diluted share, during fiscal 2015. Merger, restructuring and transaction costs of $(29.6) million and $(31.7) million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, are excluded from adjusted FFO (AFFO). Also excluded from AFFO is a gain on debt extinguishment of $34.6 million in fiscal 2016, as well as $(10.4) million in bridge loan fee amortization in fiscal 2015. When excluding these items, AFFO for fiscal year 2016 was $393.1 million, or $1.78 per diluted share, which compares to $417.4 million, or $1.91 per diluted share for fiscal year 2015.

Comparable net operating income (NOI) for the Company’s core portfolio increased 2.1% in 2016, compared to a year ago, in line with internal expectations. Comparable NOI for the community center portfolio increased 4.4% in 2016, compared to a year ago. Comparable NOI for the core enclosed retail properties increased 1.4% in 2016, compared to the prior year period.

Operational Highlights

Ending occupancy for the core properties was 94.0% as of December 31, 2016, compared to 93.5% a year ago, an increase of 50 basis points. Base rent per square foot for core properties was $21.67, an increase of 0.2%, compared to $21.63 per square foot a year ago. Inline store sales at the Company’s core enclosed properties increased 0.5% to $368 per square foot for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, compared to $366 per square foot for the same period a year ago. Operating metrics by asset group can be found in the fourth quarter 2016 Supplemental Information report available on the Company’s website.

Financial Activity

Joint Venture Transaction

On November 2, 2016, the Company entered into a definitive agreement providing for a second joint venture with O’Connor Mall Partners, L.P., an affiliate of O’Connor Capital Partners (“O’Connor”), with respect to the ownership and operation of seven of the Company’s retail properties, which are valued at approximately $608 million. The Company has an existing joint venture with O’Connor for five of the Company’s enclosed retail properties and certain related outparcels. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will retain a 51% interest and sell 49% to O’Connor for net proceeds of approximately $350 million, including the Company’s pro rata share of new mortgage debt of over $100 million, which will be used to reduce the Company’s outstanding debt and for general corporate purposes. The Company will retain management and leasing responsibilities of the properties. On November 18, 2016, O’Connor completed its due diligence and the escrow deposit of $18.7 million became non-refundable. Subject to certain closing conditions, the transaction is expected to be completed early in the second quarter of 2017.

Dispositions

On November 10, 2016, the Company completed the sale of Richmond Town Square, located in Cleveland, OH, to a private real estate investor for a purchase price of $7.3 million.

On January 10, 2017, the Company completed the sale of Virginia Center Commons, located in Glen Allen, VA, to a private real estate investor for a purchase price of $9.0 million.

On February 21, 2017, the Company completed the sale of Gulf View Square, located in Port Richey, FL; and River Oaks Center, located in Chicago, IL, to a private real estate investor for a purchase price of $42.0 million. Following the sale of these two noncore assets, the Company has completed its plans to dispose of all seven of its noncore properties. The net proceeds from the noncore asset sales were used to reduce the balance outstanding on the Company’s credit facility.





Mortgage Loans

On October 1, 2016, the Company exercised the last option to extend the maturity date of the mortgage loan on WestShore Plaza, located in Tampa, FL, for one year. The extended maturity date is October 1, 2017.

The mortgage loan secured by River Valley Mall was extinguished upon the property transition to the lender on December 29, 2016. The Company recognized $0.5 million in gain on debt extinguishment related to the transition.

Quarterly Dividend

On February 21, 2017, The Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on its common shares and operating partnership units. A cash dividend of $0.25 per common share and operating partnership unit was declared. The dividend is payable on March 15, 2017 to shareholders and operating partnership holders of record on March 8, 2017.

Additionally, on February 21, 2017, the Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.4688 per Series H preferred share of beneficial interest, $0.4297 per Series I preferred share of beneficial interest, and $0.4563 per Series I-1 preferred unit of Preferred Limited Partnership Interest. Each of the cash dividends is payable on April 17, 2017 to shareholders and operating partnership holders of record on March 31, 2017.

2017 Guidance

The Company is introducing guidance for fiscal 2017 net income attributable to common shareholders in the range of $1.08 to $1.15 per diluted share and expects FFO in a range of $1.62 to $1.68 per diluted share.

Key guidance assumptions for 2017 include the following:
Comparable NOI growth of 0-1.5%
Corporate overhead and general and administrative expense of $52-$56 million
Noncash adjustments for purchase accounting and straight line rents resulting in income of $15--$17 million
Completion of the sale of 49% of seven assets to O’Connor early in the second quarter
Gain on sale for this transaction of $130-$134 million
Sale of the final three noncore assets in the first quarter of 2017
Transition of Mesa Mall and Southern Hills Mall to the lenders in the middle of 2017
Gain on debt extinguishment related to these transitions of $34-$36 million
$300 million in unsecured debt issued in the middle of 2017
Redevelopment spending, including the pro-rata share of joint venture properties of $125-$150 million
Recurring Cap-Ex spending and deferred leasing costs of $65-$75 million

The net impact of the 2017 guidance assumptions results in FFO dilution, compared to fiscal year 2016. The year-over-year decrease is primarily attributable to approximately $0.10 of aggregate dilution related to the sale of noncore assets, lender transitions and the second joint venture with O’Connor; approximately $0.03 of dilution related to a planned unsecured debt issuance and an increase in LIBOR rates compared to the prior year; and approximately $0.04 of decrease to net income from lower noncash items related to purchase accounting and straight line rents. These items are expected to be partially offset by NOI growth, as well as lower corporate overhead and general and administrative expenses.

The following table provides the reconciliation for the expected range of estimated net income attributable to common shareholders per diluted share to estimated FFO per diluted share, as adjusted, for the year ending December 31, 2017:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes FFO, AFFO and NOI, including same property NOI growth, which are financial performance measures not defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in this press release. FFO, AFFO and comparable NOI growth are financial performance measures widely used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs. The Company believes that FFO provides investors with additional information regarding operating performance and a basis to compare the Company’s performance with that of other REITs.

The Company uses FFO in addition to net income to report operating results. We determine FFO based on the definition set forth by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) as net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization, excluding gains and losses from extraordinary items and cumulative effects of accounting changes, excluding gains and losses from the sales or disposals of previously depreciated retail operating properties, excluding impairment charges of depreciable real estate, plus the allocable portion of FFO of unconsolidated entities accounted for under the equity method of accounting based upon economic ownership interest. The Company also discusses FFO, as adjusted, or AFFO. Descriptions of items adjusted are provided in the press release. Certain items, such as merger, restructuring and transaction related costs and gain on debt extinguishment, while included in FFO and net income, do not affect the ongoing performance of the properties and have been excluded from AFFO to enhance comparability.

NOI is used by industry analysts, investors and Company management to measure operating performance of the Company’s properties. NOI represents total property revenues less property operating and maintenance expenses. Accordingly, NOI excludes certain expenses included in the determination of net income such as corporate general and administrative expense and other indirect operating expenses, interest expense, impairment charges and depreciation and amortization expense. These items are excluded from NOI in order to provide results that are more closely related to a property’s results of operations. In addition, the Company’s computation of same property NOI excludes termination income and income from outparcel sales. The Company also adjusts for other miscellaneous items in order to enhance the comparability of results from one period to another. Certain items,





such as interest expense, while included in FFO and net income, do not affect the operating performance of a real estate asset and are often incurred at the corporate level as opposed to the property level. As a result, management uses only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level to evaluate a property’s performance. Real estate asset related depreciation and amortization, as well as impairment charges, are excluded from NOI for the same reasons that they are excluded from FFO pursuant to NAREIT’s definition.

Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as they do not include all items of income and expense that affect operations, and accordingly, should always be considered as supplemental to financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors should understand that the Company’s computation of these non-GAAP measures might not be comparable to similar measures reported by other REITs and that these non-GAAP measures do not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, should not be considered as alternatives to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of operating performance and are not alternatives to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Investors are cautioned that items excluded from these measures are significant components in understanding and addressing financial performance. Reconciliations of these measures are included in the press release.

Regulation Fair Disclosure (FD)
The Company routinely posts important information online on the investor relations section of the corporate website. The Company uses this website, press releases, SEC filings, conference calls, presentations and webcasts to disclose material, non-public information in accordance with Regulation FD. The Company encourages members of the investment community to monitor these distribution channels for material disclosures.
