Management Commentary
“During the first quarter of 2018, we executed a record number of leases and realized 20.3% comparable spreads on new leases, both of which are strong indicators of the healthy fundamentals in our grocery-anchored portfolio,” said Jeff Edison, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Phillips Edison & Company. “The quarter also demonstrated the accretive integration of PELP’s 76 shopping centers and investment management business, which we acquired last October, with a 20% increase in MFFO per diluted share.”
“Our continued strong performance led our board to increase the estimated value of our common stock to $11.05 per share despite the challenging retail environment. We believe the current disparity between the public and private market valuations in retail real estate is unsupported as the operating fundamentals of our centers remain strong. We are confident that our best-in-class platform will continue to add value and drive growth at our grocery-anchored centers.”
First Quarter Ended March 31, 2018 Financial Results
Net (Loss) Income
For the first quarter of 2018, net loss totaled $1.8 million compared to net income of $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2017. Net loss was primarily driven by increased depreciation and amortization as a result of owning an additional 84 properties when compared to March 31, 2017.
Funds from Operations (FFO) as Defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT)
For the first quarter of 2018, FFO attributable to stockholders and convertible noncontrolling interests increased 40.4% to $40.4 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, from $28.8 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, during the first quarter of 2017. The improvement in FFO was driven by an increase in net operating income generated by additional properties owned, $8.7 million of fee income for asset management and property management services generated by the investment management business acquired in the PELP transaction, and a 4.3% increase in pro forma same-center NOI.
Modified Funds from Operations (MFFO)
For the first quarter of 2018, MFFO increased 46.9% to $42.2 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to $28.7 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, during the same year-ago quarter. The increase in MFFO was directly correlated to the increase in FFO.
Pro Forma Same-Center Results*
For the first quarter of 2018, pro forma same-center NOI increased 4.3% to $61.3 million compared to $58.8 million during the first quarter of 2017. The improvement was driven by a $0.21 increase in minimum rent per square foot on the company’s pro forma portfolio, as well as a $1.4 million decrease in operating expenses versus the comparable period.
Pro-forma same-center leased occupancy totaled 93.8% compared to 93.9% as of March 31, 2017.
*For purposes of evaluating same-center NOI on a comparative basis, and in light of the acquisition of PELP in October 2017, the company is presenting pro forma same-center NOI, which includes all properties that were owned and operational for the entire portion of both comparable reporting periods for both Phillips Edison & Company and PELP. As such, contributing to pro forma same-center NOI were 226 properties.
First Quarter Ended March 31, 2018 Portfolio Results
Portfolio Statistics
At quarter-end, the portfolio consisted of 237 properties, totaling approximately 26.4 million square feet located in 32 states. This compares to 154 properties, totaling approximately 16.8 million square feet located in 28 states as of March 31, 2017.
Leased portfolio occupancy totaled 93.6% compared to 93.9% as of December 31, 2017.
Leasing Activity
During the first quarter of 2018, a record 192 leases (new, renewal and options) were executed totaling approximately 821,000 square feet. This compares to 132 leases (new, renewal and options) executed totaling 557,000 square feet during the first quarter of 2017.
Comparable rent spreads during the quarter, which compare the percentage increase (or decrease) of new or renewal leases to the expiring lease of a unit that was occupied within the past 12 months, were 20.3% for new leases and 10.7% for renewal leases, excluding options.
Acquisition Activity
One grocery-anchored shopping center was acquired for a total cost of $8.4 million during the first quarter of 2018. The property, located in Leesburg, Florida, outside Orlando, is anchored by Publix and totals approximately 135,000 square feet.
Investment Management Business
During the first quarter of 2018, the company generated $8.7 million of fee income for asset management and property management services rendered.
At quarter-end, the company had approximately $2.1 billion of third-party assets under management, which included Phillips Edison Grocery Center REIT II, Inc., Phillips Edison Grocery Center REIT III, Inc., and Necessity Retail Partners (a joint venture between Phillips Edison Grocery Center REIT II, Inc. and TPG).
Phillips Edison Grocery Center REIT III
Phillips Edison Grocery Center REIT III, Inc., Phillips Edison & Company’s third sponsored non-traded REIT, raised $56.8 million in a private offering of common stock. Additionally, on May 8, 2018, Phillips Edison Grocery Center REIT III had its registration statement pertaining to an initial public offering declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission and will offer up to an aggregate of $1.7 billion in common stock.
Balance Sheet Highlights at March 31, 2018
At quarter-end, the company had $474.4 million of borrowing capacity available on its $500 million revolving credit facility. During the quarter, the company executed a delayed draw on its five-year term facility to pay down the revolving credit facility.
Net debt to total enterprise value was 41.9% at March 31, 2018. Please see the Net Debt to Total Enterprise Value table for additional disclosure.
At quarter-end, the company's outstanding debt had a weighted-average interest rate of 3.4%, a weighted-average maturity of 5.2 years, and 87.1% of its total debt was fixed-rate debt. This compared to a weighted-average interest rate of 3.4%, a weighted average maturity of 5.5 years, and 88.5% fixed-rate debt at December 31, 2017.
Estimated Value Per Share
Effective May 9, 2018, the company’s board of directors increased the estimated value per share of its common stock to $11.05 as of March 31, 2018.
Duff & Phelps was engaged to provide a calculation of the range in estimated value per share of the company’s common stock as of March 31, 2018. Duff & Phelps prepared a valuation report based substantially on its estimate of the “as is” market values of the company’s portfolio, adjusted to reflect balance sheet assets and liabilities, and the estimated value of in-place contracts of the third-party asset management business provided by the company’s management as of March 31, 2018, before calculating a range of estimated per share values based on the number of outstanding shares of common stock and operating partnership units (OP units) as of quarter end. These calculations produced an estimated value per share in the range of $10.35 to $11.75.
For a full description of the assumptions and methodologies used to determine the estimated value per share, see the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 to be filed with the SEC, which will be accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
First Quarter 2018 Distributions
Gross distributions of $38.3 million were paid to common shareholders and OP unit holders during the first quarter of 2018, including $12.8 million reinvested through the distribution reinvestment plan, for net cash distributions of $25.5 million.
During the quarter, FFO was $40.4 million, which totaled 104% of the company's gross distributions.
Subsequent to quarter-end, the company's board of directors authorized distributions for June 2018, July 2018, and August 2018 in the amount of $0.05583344 per share to the shareholders of record at the close of business on June 15, 2018, July 16, 2018, and August 15, 2018, respectively. OP unit holders will receive distributions at the same rate, subject to required withholding.
Share Repurchase Program (SRP)
During the first quarter of 2018, approximately 366,000 shares of common stock, totaling $4.0 million, were repurchased.
Subsequent to the quarter end, in April 2018, approximately 3.4 million shares of common stock, totaling $37.4 million, were repurchased at $11.00 per share under the SRP. Standard repurchase requests surpassed the funding limits under the SRP resulting in the company processing standard requests on a pro rata basis.
The company will continue to fulfill repurchases sought upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability,” or “determination of incompetence” in accordance with the terms of the SRP.
Due to the program’s funding limits, the company does not expect funding to be available for standard repurchases for the remainder of 2018. Cash available for standard repurchases on any particular date under the SRP is generally limited to the proceeds from the dividend reinvestment plan during the preceding four quarters, less amounts already used for repurchases during the same time period.

Non-GAAP Disclosures
Pro Forma Same-Center Net Operating Income
Same-Center NOI represents the NOI for the properties that were owned and operational for the entire portion of both comparable reporting periods. For purposes of evaluating Same-Center NOI on a comparative basis, and in light of the company’s acquisition of 76 shopping centers and the investment management business from PELP, the company is presenting Pro Forma Same-Center NOI, which is Same-Center NOI on a pro forma basis as if the transaction had occurred on January 1, 2017. This perspective allows the company to evaluate Same-Center NOI growth over a comparable period. Pro Forma Same-Center NOI is not necessarily indicative of what actual Same-Center NOI and growth would have been if the PELP transaction had occurred on January 1, 2017, nor does it purport to represent Same-Center NOI and growth for future periods.
Pro Forma Same-Center NOI highlights operating trends such as occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs on properties that were operational for both comparable periods. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Same-Center NOI, and accordingly, Pro Forma Same-Center NOI may not be comparable to other REITs.
Pro Forma Same-Center NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of the company’s financial performance since it does not reflect the operations of the company’s entire portfolio, nor does it reflect the impact of general and administrative expenses, acquisition expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, other income, or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of company properties that could materially impact its results from operations.
Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations
FFO is a non-GAAP performance financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for impairment losses on depreciable real estate and impairments of in-substance real estate investments in investees that are driven by measurable decreases in the fair value of the depreciable real estate held by the unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. The company calculates FFO Attributable to Stockholders and Convertible Noncontrolling Interests in a manner consistent with the NAREIT definition, with an additional adjustment made for noncontrolling interests that are not convertible into common stock.
MFFO is an additional performance financial measure used by the company as FFO includes certain non-comparable items that affect the company’s performance over time. MFFO excludes the following items:
• | acquisition and transaction expenses; |
• | straight-line rent amounts, both income and expense; |
• | amortization of above- or below-market intangible lease assets and liabilities; |
• | amortization of discounts and premiums on debt investments; |
• | gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt; |
• | gains or losses on the extinguishment of derivatives, except where the trading of such instruments is a fundamental attribute of company operations; |
• | gains or losses related to fair value adjustments for derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting; and |
• | adjustments related to the above items for joint ventures and noncontrolling interests and unconsolidated entities in the application of equity accounting. |
The company believes that MFFO is helpful in assisting management and investors with the assessment of the sustainability of operating performance in future periods. The company believes it is more reflective of its core operating performance and provides an additional measure to compare its performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that may cause short-term fluctuations in net income (loss) but have no impact on cash flows.
FFO, FFO Attributable to Stockholders and Convertible Noncontrolling Interests, and MFFO should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations under GAAP, as an indication of liquidity, nor as an indication of funds available to cover the company’s cash needs, including its ability to fund distributions. MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if the company does not continue to operate its business plan in the manner currently contemplated.
Accordingly, FFO, FFO Attributable to Stockholders and Convertible Noncontrolling Interests, and MFFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements, and should not be viewed as more prominent measures of performance than net income (loss) or cash flows from operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. The company’s FFO, FFO Attributable to Stockholders and Convertible Noncontrolling Interests, and MFFO, as presented, may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other REITs.
