Kite Realty Group Trust Reports Third Quarter 2017 Operating Results
Indianapolis, Ind., October 26, 2017 - Kite Realty Group Trust (NYSE: KRG) (the “Company”) announced today its operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017. Financial statements, exhibits, and reconciliations of non-GAAP measures attached to this release include the details of the Company’s results.
Third Quarter Highlights
• | Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $0.6 million, or $0.01 per diluted common share. |
• | Funds From Operations of the Operating Partnership (“FFO”), as defined by NAREIT, was $41.8 million, or $0.49 per diluted share. |
• | Same-Property Net Operating Income (“NOI”) increased 3.6% for the comparable operating portfolio, or 3.9% excluding the impact of the Company’s Redevelopment, Repurpose and Reposition (“3-R”) initiative, in each case compared to the same period in the prior year. |
• | Small shop leased percentage increased 100 basis points to 89.7% from the same period in the prior year. |
• | The aggregate rent spread on comparable new and renewal leases was 11.1% on a cash basis and 17.0% on a GAAP basis. |
• | Construction commenced on Phase II of Eddy Street Commons at the University of Notre Dame. |
“Our portfolio and operating results continue to be strong, as evidenced by another excellent quarter,” said John Kite, Chief Executive Officer. “We remain committed to our long-term strategic goals, which we are demonstrating by continuing to execute on high-quality projects in our 3-R initiative, driving strong same-store results, and increasing small shop leasing, which increased by another 100 basis points compared to last year to reach 89.7%.”
Financial & Portfolio Results
Financial Results
Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2017, was $0.6 million, compared to a net loss of $1.7 million for the same period in 2016.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, FFO, as defined by NAREIT, was $41.8 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, compared to $43.6 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, FFO, as adjusted, was $41.8 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, compared to $44.7 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year. The year-over-year decline in FFO was primarily due to the sale of four operating properties and the use of the resulting proceeds to pay down debt.
Portfolio Operations
As of September 30, 2017, the Company owned interests in 117 operating and redevelopment properties totaling approximately 23.1 million square feet and two development projects currently under construction. The owned gross leasable area in the Company’s retail operating portfolio was 94.5% leased as of September 30, 2017, and the Company’s total portfolio was 94.6% leased. We continue to increase our small-shop leased percentage, and hit a new high of 89.7% leased in the third quarter, an increase of 100 basis points year over year.
Same-property NOI, which includes 104 operating properties, increased 3.6% in the third quarter compared to the same period in the prior year, or 3.9% excluding the impact of the Company’s 3-R initiative. The leased percentage of properties included in the same-property pool was 94.4% at September 30, 2017, compared to 95.1% at September 30, 2016, while the economic occupancy percentage increased to 93.5% from 92.8% year over year.
The Company executed 86 leases totaling 432,814 square feet during the third quarter of 2017, including 65 comparable new and renewal leases for 384,816 square feet. Cash rent spreads on comparable new and renewal leases executed in the quarter were 18.9% and 9.7%, respectively, for a blended cash rent spread of 11.1%. The blended leasing spread on a straight-line basis, which includes periodic contractual rent increases over the term of the lease, was 17.0%.
The majority of the 35 tenants opening for business in the third quarter were in the food, fitness, entertainment, and service sectors. Openings this quarter included a new Publix Supermarket at Burnt Store Promenade (one of our 3-R projects), Ulta Salon, Pet Supermarket, Tuesday Morning, and Le Creuset.
Development and Redevelopment
As of September 30, 2017, we had two development projects under construction. The expansion of Phase II of Holly Springs is 100% pre-leased or committed, with projected costs of $2.7 million. Phase II of Eddy Street Commons is a mixed-use development at the University of Notre Dame that will include a retail component, apartments, townhomes, and a community center. The total projected costs for the project are currently $89.2 million. We are in the final stages of entering into a ground sublease with a multi-family developer who will fund the majority of these costs, leaving our share of the projected costs at $8.5 million. The Company has also begun construction of a full-service hotel in Phase I of Eddy Street Commons, which we project will cost $46.0 million to construct. We are in the final stages of negotiating to form and retain a minority interest in an unconsolidated joint venture that will complete and own this hotel. Funding for both Eddy Street Commons projects will include a total of $22.1 million in net tax increment financing proceeds.
The Company’s 3-R program currently includes eight projects under various stages of construction, with estimated combined costs ranging from $72.5 to $79.0 million and an estimated combined annualized return ranging from 8.0% to 9.0%. During the quarter, the Company commenced construction on one new project at Centennial Center (Las Vegas, NV).

____________________ | |
1 | “FFO of the Operating Partnership" measures 100% of the operating performance of the Operating Partnership’s real estate properties. “FFO attributable to Kite Realty Group Trust common shareholders” reflects a reduction for the redeemable noncontrolling weighted average diluted interest in the Operating Partnership. |
Funds from Operations (FFO) is a widely used performance measure for real estate companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure of operating performance. The Company calculates FFO, a non-GAAP financial measure, in accordance with the best practices described in the April 2002 National Policy Bulletin of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). The NAREIT white paper defines FFO as net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales and impairments of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Considering the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, the Company believes that FFO is helpful to investors in measuring our operational performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as gains or losses from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. For informational purposes, the Company has also provided FFO adjusted for accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs, transaction costs and a severance charge in 2016. The Company believes this supplemental information provides a meaningful measure of our operating performance. The Company believes our presentation of FFO, as adjusted, provides investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparison of operating performance between periods and among our peer companies. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance, is not an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of funds available to satisfy our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. Our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

The Company uses same property NOI ("Same Property NOI"), a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the performance of our properties. Same Property NOI excludes properties that have not been owned for the full period presented. It also excludes net gains from outlot sales, straight-line rent revenue, bad debt expense and recoveries, lease termination fees, amortization of lease intangibles and significant prior period expense recoveries and adjustments, if any. The Company believes that Same Property NOI is helpful to investors as a measure of our operating performance because it includes only the NOI of properties that have been owned for the full period presented, which eliminates disparities in net income due to the acquisition or disposition of properties during the particular period presented and thus provides a more consistent metric for the comparison of our properties. The year to date results represent the sum of the individual quarters, as reported.
NOI and Same Property NOI should not, however, be considered as alternatives to net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as indicators of our financial performance. Our computation of NOI and Same Property NOI may differ from the methodology used by other REITs, and therefore may not be comparable to such other REITs.
When evaluating the properties that are included in the same property pool, the Company has established specific criteria for determining the inclusion of properties acquired or those recently under development. An acquired property is included in the same property pool when there is a full quarter of operations in both years subsequent to the acquisition date. Development and redevelopment properties are included in the same property pool four full quarters after the properties have been transferred to the operating portfolio. A redevelopment property is first excluded from the same property pool when the execution of a redevelopment plan is likely and the Company begins recapturing space from tenants. For the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Company excluded eight redevelopment properties and the recently completed Northdale Promenade redevelopment from the same property pool that met these criteria and were owned in both comparable periods.
