Washington Prime Group Reports Third Quarter 2017 Results




COLUMBUS, OH - October 25, 2017 - Washington Prime Group Inc. (NYSE: WPG) today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017 that reflect continued progress on the execution of the Company’s financial, operating and strategic objectives.

Third Quarter Results

Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2017 was $11.9 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to income of $1.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, a year ago. The year-over-year difference was primarily attributable to higher interest expense in 2017 related to the August unsecured notes offering, lower net operating income related to the Company’s Tier 2 enclosed properties and decrease in amortization of lease intangibles.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) for the third quarter of 2017 were $81.5 million, or $0.37 per diluted share. This compares to $100.8 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, during the same quarter a year ago. The decrease in FFO for the quarter primarily relates to dilution resulting from property dispositions and higher interest expense related to the unsecured notes offering.

Comparable net operating income (“NOI”) for the Company’s total portfolio decreased 1.4% during the third quarter of 2017, compared to a year ago. Comparable NOI growth for the Company’s 37 Tier 1 enclosed retail properties decreased by only 0.6% in the third quarter of 2017, compared to a year ago, demonstrating stable performance. Comparable NOI for the Company’s 51 open air centers increased 3.4% in the third quarter of 2017, compared to a year ago. Collectively, the Company’s Tier 1 enclosed retail properties and open air centers comprised 81% of total portfolio NOI as of September 30, 2017 with comparable NOI growth of 1.1% during the third quarter of 2017, compared to a year ago.

Reconciliations of FFO and comparable NOI (non-GAAP measures) to GAAP measures are included in this release.

Lou Conforti, CEO and Director stated: “The third quarter is best illustrated by several financial, strategic and operational actions which strengthened our balance sheet; streamlined decision making; resulted in meaningful arbitrage opportunities; furthered our objective of tenant diversification; and advanced our hybrid town center mandate which now constitutes 70% of assets we describe as enclosed.

“Occupancy was basically flat for the third quarter at 92.3%. A 1.4% decline in comparable NOI warrants further explanation. The decline was primarily attributable to previously reported bankruptcies and judiciousness on our part to focus upon prospects whose presence actually benefits our assets. Breaking it down, comparable NOI growth for Tier 1 assets decreased 0.6%, open air assets increased 3.4%, and Tier 2 assets decreased 9.1%. While any shortcoming whatsoever drives me crazy, as long as it is within an anticipated minimal variance and results from our being deliberate about properly curating tenants, I am confident this measured approach will better serve our assets in the long run.






“During my 16 months at WPG, one fact has become glaringly evident. Our resources, which include both time and money, are better directed toward those tenants which serve to diversify, optimize and energize our assets. Make no mistake, we have leased a heck of a lot of space this year: 3.0 million square feet as of September 30, of which 48% was to lifestyle tenancy. What we will not be doing is taking the easy way out by accommodating undifferentiated tenants in over concentrated categories.

“We continue to address Tier 2 assets in a no-nonsense fashion: We handed the lender back the keys to Valle Vista Mall whereby a $40 million mortgage obligation was extinguished; signed a definitive agreement to sell Colonial Park Mall for $15 million, as we could not justify marginal capital spend; and negotiated the $55 million discounted payoff of Southern Hills Mall, a Tier 1 quality asset which was hampered by excessive leverage of $99.7 million. This discounted payoff reflects a capitalization rate of 13.5%, a 600-basis-point improvement over the debt yield.

“The Company also continued to strengthen its balance sheet and demonstrate access to capital as exhibited by our $750 million seven-year unsecured notes offering. As we have previously stated, it was imperative to address the financial wherewithal of the Company and we have accomplished this mandate with minimal dilution. “Strategically, we evidenced our ability to act upon arbitrage opportunities. For instance, the definitive agreement for the disposition of outparcels leased to various restaurant operators for proceeds of $67.2 million equates to a mid-six percent capitalization rate on in place NOI, and the previously mentioned $55 million discounted payoff of Southern Hills Mall.

“Redevelopment continues according to schedule and budget. We currently have 61 active projects underway ranging between $1-$60 million. The 9.5% average estimated yield on these projects is intact and we actually expect these transformative projects to perform even better when ancillary impact is taken into account. Last, new initiatives are also well underway. Our eCommerce platform, Tangible, is under construction and should be operational in its first four assets during the fourth quarter; Shelby’s Sugar Shop, our candy store joint venture, likewise; and our first common area local craft brewer is opening within thirty days.

“Our message is straightforward: Protect our shareholders from industry volatility with a rock solid balance sheet; respect our demographic constituencies by not offering the ‘same old same old’; focus on assets which serve as the dominant retail venue within a secondary marketplace; address common area utilization as it may very well be the holy grail; and as always, grind it out.”

Operational Highlights

Ending occupancy for the total portfolio was 92.3% as of September 30, 2017, as compared to 92.7% a year ago. Ending occupancy for the enclosed retail properties was 90.3%, which included Tier 1 enclosed retail properties which ended the quarter at 92.1% leased, flat compared to a year ago. Ending occupancy for the open air portfolio was 95.3% as of September 30, 2017, compared to 95.2% a year ago.

Base rent per square foot for the total portfolio was $21.64, flat compared to a year ago. Inline store sales at the Company’s enclosed retail properties were $364 per square foot for the twelve months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $373 per square foot for the same period a year ago. Operating metrics by asset group can be found in the third quarter 2017 Supplemental Information report available on the Company’s website.

Financial Activity

Unsecured Notes Offering

On August 4, 2017, the Company closed on a public offering of $750 million principal amount of its 5.950% unsecured notes due August 15, 2024. The net proceeds from the offering of approximately $730 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and other offering expenses, were used to repay the outstanding indebtedness under its May 2014 term loan and reduce outstanding borrowings under its June 2015 term loan. The successful completion of the offering significantly enhanced the debt maturity profile of the Company.






Dispositions

On October 4, 2017, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell Colonial Park Mall, located in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to an unaffiliated private real estate investor for a purchase price of $15.0 million. The agreement is subject to customary closing requirements. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $20.9 million related to the expected sale of Colonial Park Mall.

On September 20, 2017, the Company executed a purchase and sale agreement with an affiliate of Four Corners Property Trust, Inc. to sell 41 restaurant outparcels located on 22 of the Company's enclosed retail properties and open air centers for a purchase price of approximately $67.2 million. The Company expects the transaction to close in two tranches beginning in the fourth quarter of 2017 with the second tranche to be completed in the first half of 2018, subject to due diligence and customary closing conditions.

Mortgage Loans

On October 17, 2017, an affiliate of the Company completed a discounted payoff of the $99.7 million mortgage loan secured by Southern Hills Mall, located in Sioux City, Iowa, for $55.0 million. The Company will record a gain between $40.0 million and $45.0 million related to this repayment during the fourth quarter of 2017. This accretive financial transaction resulted in the Company retaining ownership and management of Southern Hills Mall, a dominant enclosed retail venue in a secondary market. The debt yield on the mortgage loan was 7.5% with a yield on the purchase of 13.5%.

On October 3, 2017, the $40.0 million mortgage loan secured by Valle Vista Mall, located in Harlingen, Texas, was extinguished upon the property transition to the lender on October 3, 2017. The Company will recognize a $27.0 million gain on debt extinguishment related to the transition during the fourth quarter of 2017.

On October 2, 2017, the Company repaid the $99.6 million mortgage loan on WestShore Plaza, located in Tampa, Florida, adding the Tier 1 enclosed property to the Company’s unencumbered pool of assets.

The Company has now addressed all 2017 mortgage debt maturities and has nearly $316 million of NOI being generated from its unencumbered properties, or approximately 57% of total property NOI.

Redevelopment Highlights

The Company expects redevelopment spending, including the pro-rata share of joint venture properties of approximately $100 million in 2017. Major redevelopment projects recently announced include:
Cottonwood Mall, located in Albuquerque, New Mexico - The approximately $21 million project will add new retailers to the center. The high visibility anchor space previously occupied by a Macy’s department store, which closed earlier this year, will be redeveloped for new uses that include off-price and home furnishings retailers. The project is expected to be completed in 2018.
Fairfield Town Center, located in Houston, Texas - The approximately $28 million project represents the final phase of the development which will add approximately 130,000 square feet to the open air center that opened in 2016. The project will be anchored by the addition of a movie theater, off-price retailer and additional big box and small shop stores. The project is expected to be completed in 2019.

2017 Guidance

The Company updated its guidance for fiscal 2017 net income attributable to common shareholders to the range of $1.39 to $1.48 per diluted share, and guidance for FFO, as adjusted, in the range of $1.63 and $1.67 per diluted share. The update to guidance for net income primarily relates to the impairment charge in the third quarter and a gain on the first tranche of the restaurant outparcel sale expected to occur in the fourth quarter. Net income and FFO guidance for the year includes increased interest expense from the unsecured notes offering, which was partially offset by the positive impact from the discounted payoff of the mortgage loan secured by Southern Hills Mall.






Primarily due to retailer bankruptcies that occurred during the third quarter of 2017, as well as the impact of real estate tax reimbursement revenue, the Company now expects to deliver comparable NOI growth of (1.0)% to 0.0% for the year ending December 31, 2017.

Apart from the impact of the items discussed above, material guidance assumptions remain unchanged.

Key assumptions for the fourth quarter of 2017 include the gain on the debt extinguishments for Southern Hills Mall and Valle Vista Mall, as well as an expected gain on the first tranche of the restaurant outparcel sale.

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.

(1) Represents an adjustment to remove the NOI amounts from properties not owned and operated in all periods presented, certain non-recurring expenses (such as hurricane related expenses), as well as material insurance proceeds received in the periods presented. Furthermore, Southern Hills Mall is removed as the management and leasing of the property was transferred to the receiver during the fourth quarter of 2016, although title to the property is still held by an affiliate of the Company.
