LOS ANGELES, April 28, 2010 – Kilroy Realty Corporation (NYSE: KRC) today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2010 with net income available to common stockholders of $4.9 million, or $0.11 per share, compared to $7.6 million, or $0.23 per share, in the first quarter of 2009. Revenues from continuing operations in the first quarter totaled $66.8 million, compared to $72.5 million in the prior year's first quarter. Funds from operations (FFO) for the period totaled $25.8 million, or $0.57 per share, compared to $29.0 million, or $0.82 per share, in the year-earlier period. All per share amounts in this report are presented on a diluted b asis.
KRC also reported that it has acquired one office building and agreed to acquire four additional office buildings aggregating approximately 1.0 million square feet of space in three separate transactions. The first transaction closed in mid-March and the second and third transactions are expected to close during the second quarter.
In the first transaction, on March 12, 2010, KRC completed the purchase of an approximate 88,800 square-foot office building located in the Mission Valley submarket
of San Diego County for approximately $18 million. The building is one of four properties in the Mission City Corporate Center office campus. In the second transaction, the company has also agreed to acquire the three remaining buildings in the campus, totaling 190,600 square feet, for approximately $52 million. The completion of this second transaction is subject to the assumption of $52 million of existing debt that is secured by the three buildings.
In the third transaction, KRC has agreed to acquire a 732,000 square-foot office project located in the South Financial District of San Francisco for approximately $237 million. The completion of this transaction is subject to customary closing conditions.
The company expects to fund the acquisitions from the proceeds of its recently completed 9.2 million share public equity offering and the assumption of $52 million of secured debt associated with the Mission Valley property.
"While commercial real estate conditions in California remain choppy, many of the state’s office markets are showing signs of stability and opportunities are emerging for well-capitalized companies to acquire valuable properties at below replacement cost,” said John B. Kilroy, Jr., KRC’s president and chief executive officer. “Our recently announced investment grade ratings are a significant milestone for the company and access to the investment grade unsecured debt market will be an important component of our future funding strategy as we continue to grow our business."
During the first quarter, KRC signed new and renewing leases on approximately 327,000 square feet of office and industrial space. At March 31, 2010, the company’s stabilized portfolio totaled 12.5 million square feet and was 82.8% occupied.
