Houston, Texas, November 7, 2014 - Whitestone REIT (NYSE: WSR - Whitestone or the Company), a fully integrated real estate investment trust that owns, re-develops, leases, manages, and operates Community Centered Properties^TM, announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2014.

James C. Mastandrea, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Whitestone, stated, "Our third quarter results again demonstrate the positive impact Whitestone is deriving from solid internal growth augmented by our ongoing accretive acquisitions in high growth markets. Strong same store NOI growth of 11% is due to our focus on tenants that provide services to the residents in the communities where our properties are located and the improved performance of our community centers in supporting our ability to increase rents." 

Mastandrea added, "We continue to acquire ‘off market’ value-add properties, from a pipeline of properties in high growth markets in Texas and Arizona utilizing our unsecured line of credit which was recently expanded to $500 million. As we continue our ‘property-by-property’ repositioning, re-developing, and re-tenanting strategy, as well as our acquisition initiatives, we expect that occupancies, revenue, and NOI will increase resulting in strong operating results for the balance of the year and beyond.”

Financial Results: Third Quarter 2014 Compared to Third Quarter 2013

• Funds From Operations ("FFO") Core increased 35%, or approximately $1.8 million, to $6.9 million from $5.1 million.

FFO Core also excludes acquisition expenses of $0.4 million and $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The leasing team signed 82 leases totaling 226,645 square feet in new, expansion, and renewal leases in the third quarter of 2014, as compared to 98 leases totaling 260,371 square feet in the third quarter of 2013. The average lease size in the third quarter of 2014 was 2,764 square feet with the total lease value added increasing 15.4%, to $15.0 million, compared to the third quarter of 2013.

The Company's total occupancy was 85.8% as of the end of the third quarter 2014, up 77 basis points from prior year and down 22 basis points from the second quarter of 2014. The physical occupancy of the Operating Portfolio, which excludes new acquisitions and properties that are undergoing significant redevelopment or re-tenanting, was 85.7% as of September 30, 2014, compared to 85.9% and 86.0% in the prior year and previous quarter, respectively.

Acquisition Activity

During the third quarter of 2014, Whitestone completed two acquisitions of Community Centered Properties^TM in San Antonio and Fort Worth, Texas.

• On July 1, 2014, the Company acquired Heritage Trace Plaza, in Fort Worth, Texas, for approximately $20.1 million in cash and net prorations. The 70,431 square foot property was 98% leased at the time of purchase. Proceeds from Whitestone's credit facility of $20.0 million were used for the acquisition.

• On September 19, 2014, the Company acquired The Strand at Huebner Oaks in the northwest submarket of San Antonio, Texas. The Strand is a 90% leased, family-focused property containing 73,920 square feet of leasable area on 8.2 acres. Proceeds from Whitestone's credit facility of $18.0 million funded the acquisition.

Subsequent Events

On November 7, 2014, Whitestone REIT entered into a $500 million unsecured credit facility (the "Facility"), amending its current facility of $175 million. The amended and restated credit facility more than doubles the existing facility, extends the current maturity, improves the overall terms including improvement of the capitalization rate used for valuation from 9% to 8.0% for Houston legacy assets and 7.5% for all other assets, and improves overall pricing by 35bps to 55bps, based on corporate leverage levels. The Facility is comprised of three tranches:

• $400 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”)

• $50 million unsecured term loan (the “Term Loan 1”), and

• $50 million unsecured term loan (the “Term Loan 2”).

The Facility includes an accordion feature that will allow the Facility to further increase to $700 million, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including obtaining additional commitments from lenders. Pricing for the Revolver and Term Loans is based on corporate leverage levels and is priced at 1.40% to 1.95% on the Revolver and 1.35% to 1.90% on the two Term Loans. The Revolver and Term Loan 2 will mature on November 7, 2018, with an option to extend for one additional year to November 5, 2019. The maturity date on Term Loan 1 remains unchanged at February 17, 2017.

On November 5, 2014, the Company completed the acquisitions of Fulton Ranch Towne Center for $29.3 million, and The Promenade at Fulton Ranch for $18.6 million. The Fulton Ranch Towne Center acquisition totals 113,281 square feet of leasable area on 34.8 acres, with current occupancy of 86.3%. The Promenade at Fulton Ranch acquisition totals 98,792 square feet of leasable area on 14.3 acres. Occupancy of the center is currently 76%.

Both properties are located in Chandler, Arizona. Proceeds from Whitestone's credit facility of $48.0 million funded the combined acquisitions.

The Company's strategic efforts target entrepreneurial tenants that provide services to the surrounding neighborhood at each Community Centered Property^TM.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this press release constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Company intends for all such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, as applicable. Such information is subject to certain risks and uncertainties, as well as known and unknown risks, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated. Therefore, such statements are not intended to be a guarantee of our performance in future periods. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the Company's use of forward-looking terminology, such as "may," "will," "plan," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "believe," "continue" or similar words or phrases that are predictions of future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. Examples of such statements in this press release include, but are not limited to, the strength of the Company's leasing portfolio and lease renewal activities.

The following are some of the factors that could cause the Company's actual results and its expectations to differ materially from those described in the Company's forward-looking statements: the Company's ability to meet its assumptions regarding its earnings guidance, including its ability to execute effectively its acquisition and disposition strategy, to continue to execute its development pipeline on schedule and at the expected costs, and its ability to grow its NOI as expected, which could be impacted by a number of factors, including, among other things, its ability to continue to renew leases or re-let space on attractive terms and to otherwise address its leasing rollover; the Company's ability to successfully identify and consummate suitable acquisitions; current adverse market and economic conditions; lease terminations or lease defaults; the impact of competition on the Company's efforts to renew existing leases; changes in the economies and other conditions of the specific markets in which the Company operates; economic and regulatory changes; the success of the Company's real estate strategies and investment objectives; the Company's ability to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code; and other factors detailed in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other documents the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release. The Company cannot guarantee the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements contained in this press release, and the Company does not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains the supplemental financial measures that are not calculated pursuant to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") including FFO, FFO Core, NOI and EBITDA. Following are explanations and reconciliations of these metrics to their most comparable GAAP metric.

FFO: Management believes that FFO is a useful measure of the Company's operating performance. The Company computes FFO as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, ("NAREIT"), which states that FFO should represent net income available to common shareholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses from sales of operating assets, impairment charges and extraordinary items, plus depreciation and amortization of operating properties, including the Company's share of unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships. FFO does not represent cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of the Company's performance or to cash flow from operations as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions and service debt.

Management considers FFO a useful additional measure of performance for an equity REIT because it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of its properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management believes that FFO provides a more meaningful and accurate indication of the Company's performance and useful information for the investment community to compare Whitestone to other REITs since FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs.

Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating FFO, and accordingly, the Company's FFO may not be comparable to other REITs. The Company presents FFO per diluted share calculations that are based on the outstanding dilutive common shares plus the outstanding OP units for the periods presented.

FFO Core: Management believes that the computation of FFO in accordance with NAREIT's definition includes certain non-cash and non-comparable items that affect the Company's period-over-period performance. These items include, but are not limited to, legal settlements, non-cash share-based compensation expense, rent support agreement payments received from sellers on acquired assets and acquisition costs. In addition, the Company believes that FFO Core is a useful supplemental measure for the investing community to use in comparing the Company to other REITs as many REITs provide some form of adjusted or modified FFO. However, other REITs may use different adjustments, and the Company's FFO Core may not be comparable to the adjusted or modified FFO of other REITs.

NOI: Management believes that NOI is a useful measure of the Company's property operating performance. The Company defines NOI as operating revenues (rental and other revenues) less property and related expenses (property operation and maintenance and real estate taxes). Because NOI excludes general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, involuntary conversion, interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes, gain or loss on sale or disposition of assets and capital expenditures and leasing costs, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating commercial real estate properties and the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. The Company uses NOI to evaluate its operating performance since NOI allows the Company to evaluate the impact of factors, such as occupancy levels, lease structure, lease rates and tenant base, have on the Company's results, margins and returns. In addition, management believes that NOI provides useful information to the investment community about the Company's property and operating performance when compared to other REITs since NOI is generally recognized as a standard measure of property performance in the real estate industry. However, NOI should not be viewed as a measure of the Company's overall financial performance since it does not reflect general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, involuntary conversion, interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes, gain or loss on sale or disposition of assets, and the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of the Company's properties. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, the Company's NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs.

EBITDA: Management believes that EBITDA is an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance to net income attributable to the Company. The Company defines EBITDA as operating revenues (rental and other revenues) less property and related expenses (property operation and maintenance and real estate taxes) and general and administrative expenses. Management believes that EBITDA provides useful information to the investment community about the Company's operating performance when compared to other REITs since EBITDA is generally recognized as a standard measure. However, EBITDA should not be viewed as a measure of the Company's overall financial performance since it does not reflect depreciation and amortization, involuntary conversion, interest expense, provision for income taxes, gain or loss on sale or disposition of assets, and the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of the Company's properties. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating EBITDA and, accordingly, the Company's EBITDA may not be comparable to other REITs.

⁽¹⁾   Calculated as the tenant's actual September 30, 2014 base rent (defined as cash base rents including abatements) multiplied by 12. Excludes vacant space as of September 30, 2014. Because annualized base rental revenue is not derived from historical results that were accounted for in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, historical results differ from the annualized amounts. Total abatements for leases in effect as of September 30, 2014 equaled approximately $208,000 for the month ended September 30, 2014.

⁽²⁾  Calculated as annualized base rent divided by square feet leased as of September 30, 2014. Excludes vacant space as of September 30, 2014.
