Essex Announces Third Quarter 2015 Results

Core FFO per Diluted Share Grows 15.3% in the Third Quarter

 

Palo Alto, California—October 29, 2015—Essex Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE:ESS) announced today its third quarter 2015 earnings results and related business activities.

 

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and Net Income per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 are detailed below. FFO and Net Income for the third quarter include no merger and integration related expenses compared to $3.9 million of expenses in the prior year period. Core FFO excludes merger and integration expenses, acquisition costs and non-routine items.

 

  Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended  
  September 30, % September 30, %
  2015 2014 Change 2015 2014 Change
Per Diluted Share            
  Total FFO $2.53 $2.08 21.6% $7.19 $5.55 29.5%
  Core FFO $2.49 $2.16 15.3% $7.19 $6.28 14.5%
  Net Income $0.65 $0.85 -23.5% $2.27 $1.41 61.0%
             

 

Third Quarter Highlights:

 

·Grew Core FFO per diluted share by 15.3% compared to Q3 2014, which exceeded the Company’s guidance range, primarily due to strong operating results and income from co-investments.

 

·Achieved same-property gross revenues and net operating income (“NOI”) growth of 7.6% and 10.1%, respectively, compared to Q3 2014.

 

·Realized a sequential quarterly increase in same-property revenue growth of 2.4%.

 

·Increased the midpoint of the full-year same-property NOI growth range by 10 basis points to 10.6%.

 

·Provided a Core FFO guidance range for the fourth quarter of 2015 of $2.51 to $2.59 per diluted share.

 

·Increased the full-year Core FFO guidance range per diluted share to $9.70 to $9.78, raising the midpoint by $0.10 per share. This represents a 1% increase at the midpoint.

 

“We are pleased to report another strong quarter, demonstrated by a 10.1% increase in same-property NOI growth and a 15.3% increase in Core FFO per share.  Exceptional job growth resulted in demand that substantially exceeded deliveries of new housing, pushing rental rates higher in Seattle and all coastal California regions.  With a loss to lease of 7% at the end of September and our expectation for continued favorable housing fundamentals, we carry significant operational momentum into 2016,” commented Michael Schall, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Guidance

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of third quarter Core FFO per share to the midpoint of the guidance as provided in the second quarter 2015 earnings release distributed in July 2015.

 

   Per Share
Projected midpoint Core FFO per share for Q3 2015  $2.43 
    NOI from consolidated communities   0.03 
    Co-Investments   0.02 
    Interest and other   0.01 
Core FFO per share Q3 2015, reported  $2.49 

 

The Company has increased its full-year Core FFO guidance range from $9.56 to $9.72 to a range of $9.70 to $9.78, raising the midpoint by $0.10 per share. The revised guidance includes a 25 basis points reduction to same-property operating expense growth at the midpoint for the full-year and higher expected income on our development communities due to strong lease-up activity. Our same-property guidance assumptions are detailed in the table below. Year-to-date the midpoint of the full-year same-property revenue and NOI growth has increased by 115 basis points and 210 basis points, respectively. For additional details regarding our 2015 assumptions, please see page S-14 of the Supplemental Financial Information.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) Reconciliation

 

FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), is generally considered by industry analysts as an appropriate measure of performance of an equity REIT. Generally, FFO adjusts the net income of equity REITs for non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization of rental properties, impairment charges, gains/losses on sales of real estate and extraordinary items. Management considers FFO and FFO which excludes merger, integration and acquisition costs and items that are not routine or not related to the Company’s core business activities, which is referred to as “Core FFO”, to be useful financial performance measurements of an equity REIT because, together with net income and cash flows, FFO and Core FFO provide investors with an additional basis to evaluate the operating performance and ability of a REIT to incur and service debt and to fund acquisitions and other capital expenditures and the ability to pay dividends.

 

FFO does not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and are not intended to indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the REIT’s operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. FFO does not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all cash needs including principal amortization, capital improvements and distributions to shareholders. FFO also does not represent cash flows generated from operating, investing or financing activities as defined under GAAP. Management has consistently applied the NAREIT definition of FFO to all periods presented. However, there is judgment involved and other REITs’ calculation of FFO may vary from the NAREIT definition for this measure, and thus their disclosures of FFO may not be comparable to the Company’s calculation.

Capitalized interest for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was approximately $3.9 million and $12.2 million, respectively.                  

                                                         

(1) The unsecured term loan has a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.05%.  The Company has entered into interest rate swap contracts with a notional amount totaling $225 million, which effectively converts the interest rate on of the term loan to a fixed rate of 2.4%.

(2) Of $292.1 million of variable rate debt, $282.1 million is tax exempt to the note holders and $262.5 million is subject to interest rate protection agreements or total return swap contracts.  

(3) The unsecured line of credit facility aggregates to $1 billion and the line matures in December 2018 with one 18-month extension, exercisable at the Company’s option.  The underlying interest rate on this line is based on a tiered rate structure tied to the Company’s corporate ratings and is currently at LIBOR plus 0.95%.

(4) The unsecured line of credit facility is $25 million and matures in January 2016.  The underlying interest rate on this line is based on a tiered rate structure tied to the Company’s corporate ratings and is currently at LIBOR plus 0.95%.  

(5) For financial statement purposes, unamortized debt issuance costs related to unsecured lines of credit have been reclassified to prepaid expenses and other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet because the net effect resulted in a negative debt balance as of September 30, 2015.

(1) The Company incurred $0.3 million of capitalized interest, $2.0 million of capitalized overhead and $0.2 million of co-investment redevelopment fees related to redevelopment in Q3 2015.
(2) Redevelopment activities are ongoing at these communities, but the communities have stabilized operations, therefore results are classified in same-property results.
(3) During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company completed the redevelopment of interiors totaling 859 and 1,752 apartment homes for the same-property portfolio and 1,051 and 2,292 apartment homes for the total portfolio, respectively.
(4) The estimated cost has increased by $11.2 million which reflects the redevelopment of the remaining 228 apartment homes (50% of the property) plus additional revenue generating enhancements to the property.
(5) Park Highland was acquired on April 1, 2014. As a result, the NOI for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 reflects two quarters of NOI, amounting to $1.3 million, as opposed to the NOI for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, which reflects three quarters of NOI, amounting to $2.1 million.
