Franklin Street Properties Corp. Announces

First Quarter 2017 Results

Wakefield, MA—May 2, 2017—Franklin Street Properties Corp. (the “Company”, “FSP”, “we” or “our”) (NYSE MKT:  FSP), a real estate investment trust (REIT), announced its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017.

George J. Carter, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented as follows:

“With the second quarter of 2017 underway, FSP continues to expect to see Funds From Operations (FFO) growth for the full year, resulting in our expectation that full year FFO will be between approximately $1.04 and $1.08 per diluted share.  We continue to expect growth to be led by contributions from increased leasing activity at our properties, full year contribution from our 2016 acquisitions and anticipated successful results from our redevelopment of 801 Marquette in downtown Minneapolis.  Over the past several years, the portfolio transition efforts at FSP have resulted in positioning a significant portion of our portfolio into urban and infill locations.  Over 75% of our portfolio is now located within our five core markets of Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Houston, and Minneapolis.  We are optimistic about our prospects for long-term sustainable growth and look forward with anticipation to the remainder of 2017 and beyond.”

Highlights

· FFO was $28.5 million or $0.27 per share for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017.  Net Income was $4.5 million or $0.04 per share for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017.

· Sequential Same Store results grew by approximately 2.9% from December 31, 2016 to March 31, 2017.

· WeareadjustingourfullyearFFOguidancefor2017tobe in the range of approximately $1.04 to $1.08 perdilutedshareand, for the second quarter of 2017, we estimate FFO will be in the range of approximately $0.25 to $0.26 per diluted share. 

· Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) was $0.17 per diluted share for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017. 

· Portfolio properties were approximately 89.6% leased as of March 31, 2017, compared to approximately 89.3% leased as of December 31, 2016.

· On January 6, 2017, we sold a property located in Milpitas, California and received approximately $6.2 million in net proceeds.   

Leasing and Development Update

· Our directly owned real estate portfolio of 35 properties totaling approximately 10.1 million square feet was approximately 89.6% leased as of March 31, 2017, compared to approximately 89.3% as of December 31, 2016.

· During the first quarter of 2017, we leased approximately 206,000 square feet, of which approximately 62,000 square feet was with new tenants. 

· Weighted average annualized GAAP rent per square foot was approximately $28.84 as of March 31, 2017, compared to $27.92 as of December 31, 2016, $26.93 as of December 31, 2015, and $26.04 as of December 31, 2014.  We believe that the increase is attributable to the enhanced quality of our real estate portfolio and value creation derived from our recent acquisitions, dispositions and leasing.

· The 801 Marquette Avenue construction is expected to be substantially completed by the end of the second quarter of 2017.  The project has received high marks from the market and interest in the building from prospective tenants has been very strong.  When completed, 801 Marquette will

· We continue to evaluate new potential acquisition opportunities within our five core markets.

· We will continue to selectively evaluate potential non-core property dispositions when appropriate values/pricing are achieved.     

Dividend Update

On April 7, 2017, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend for the three months ended March 31, 2017 of $0.19 per share of common stock that will be paid on May 11, 2017 to stockholders of record on April 21, 2017.

Reconciliation and Definitions of Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and

Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”)

A reconciliation of Net Income to FFO and AFFO is shown below and a definition of FFO and AFFO is provided on Supplementary Schedule I.  Management believes FFO and AFFO are used broadly throughout the real estate investment trust (REIT) industry as measurements of performance.   The Company has included the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) FFO definition as of May 17, 2016 in the table and notes that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently.  The Company’s computation of FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to FFO or AFFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies that define FFO or AFFO differently.

Funds From Operations (“FFO”)

The Company evaluates performance based on Funds From Operations, which we refer to as FFO, as management believes that FFO represents the most accurate measure of activity and is the basis for distributions paid to equity holders.  The Company defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, hedge ineffectiveness and acquisition costs of newly acquired properties that are not capitalized, plus depreciation and amortization, including amortization of acquired above and below market lease intangibles and impairment charges on properties or investments in non-consolidated REITs, and after adjustments to exclude equity in income or losses from, and, to include the proportionate share of FFO from, non-consolidated REITs. 

FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), nor as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance, nor as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), nor as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, nor is it necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company’s needs. 

Other real estate companies and NAREIT, may define this term in a different manner.  We have included the NAREIT FFO as of May 17, 2016 in the table and note that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do. 

We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the results of the Company, FFO should be examined in connection with net income and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in the consolidated financial statements.

Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”)

The Company also evaluates performance based on Adjusted Funds From Operations, which we refer to as AFFO.  The Company defines AFFO as (1) FFO, (2) excluding our proportionate share of FFO and including distributions received, from non-consolidated REITs, (3) excluding the effect of straight-line rent, (4) plus deferred financing costs and (5) less recurring capital expenditures that are generally for maintenance of properties, which we call non-investment capex or are second generation capital expenditures.  Second generation costs include re-tenanting space after a tenant vacates, which include tenant improvements and leasing commissions. 

We exclude development/redevelopment activities, capital expenditures planned at acquisition and costs to reposition a property. We also exclude first generation leasing costs, which are generally to fill vacant space in properties we acquire or were planned for at acquisition. 

AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), nor as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance, nor as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), nor as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, nor is it necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company’s needs.  Other real estate companies may define this term in a different manner.  We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the results of the Company, AFFO should be examined in connection with net income and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in the consolidated financial statements.

Supplementary Schedule I

Reconciliation and Definition of Sequential Same Store results to property Net Operating Income (NOI) and Net Income

Net Operating Income (“NOI”)

The Company provides property performance based on Net Operating Income, which we refer to as NOI.  Management believes that investors are interested in this information.  NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company defines as net income (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) plus selling, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, including amortization of acquired above and below market lease intangibles and impairment charges, interest expense, less equity in earnings of nonconsolidated REITs, interest income, management fee income, hedge ineffectiveness, gains or losses on the sale of assets and excludes non-property specific income and expenses. The information presented includes footnotes and the data is shown by region with properties owned in the periods presented, which we call Sequential Same Store.  The comparative Sequential Same Store results include properties held for the periods presented and exclude properties that are non-operating, being developed or redeveloped, dispositions and significant nonrecurring income such as bankruptcy settlements and lease termination fees.  NOI, as defined by the Company, may not be comparable to NOI reported by other REITs that define NOI differently. NOI should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of the Company’s liquidity or its ability to make distributions.  The calculations of NOI and Sequential Same Store are shown in the following table:
