Kite Realty Group Trust Reports
First Quarter 2014 Results
Indianapolis, Ind., May 1, 2014 – Kite Realty Group Trust (NYSE: KRG) (the “Company”) announced today operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014. Financial statements and exhibits attached to this release include results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
“Significant progress on investments in properties and robust operations resulted in another excellent quarter,” said John A. Kite, Chairman and CEO. “Our portfolio fundamentals and operating results continue to be very strong. We achieved strong same property net operating income growth of 4.7% driven by healthy occupancy gains, additional rent related to increased tenant sales, and positive re-leasing spreads. We are also continuing to add value for our shareholders as we progress on redevelopments and developments such as the construction at Gainesville Plaza in Florida and Phase II of Holly Springs Town Center in North Carolina. Finally, we remain tremendously excited about our pending merger transaction with Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, which once completed will more than double our size, increase our cash flow and strengthen our balance sheet. Overall, we are very pleased with our outstanding first quarter and start to 2014.”
Financial Results
· | As adjusted for $4.5 million of merger costs, Funds From Operations (FFO), was $17.5 million, or $0.13 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2014. |
· | Net income was $2.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2014, compared to a net loss of $0.1 million, or $0.00 per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 2013. |
· | Revenue from recurring property operations increased 55% in the first quarter of 2014 over the first quarter of 2013. |
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, FFO was $12.4 million, or $0.09 per diluted common share for Kite Realty Group, L.P.’s real estate properties in which the Company owns an interest (which we refer to as the “Kite Portfolio”), compared to $10.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted common share, for the same period in the prior year.

Net income attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $2.2 million compared to a net loss of $0.1 million for the same period in 2013. Net income attributable to common shareholders during the three months ended March 31, 2014 included net gains on the sales of three operating properties totaling $6.7 million, partially offset by merger-related costs of $4.5 million.
Revenue from property operations increased 55% year over year as the Company continues to deliver its development and redevelopment properties into operations. Also, the first quarter of 2014 reflected the full effect of the nine-property portfolio acquisition that was completed in November 2013.
Portfolio Operations
· | Same property net operating income increased 4.7% in the first quarter of 2014 over the same period in the prior year. |
· | The total portfolio was 95.3% leased at the end of the first quarter of 2014. |
· | The Company executed 44 new and renewal leases for 259,600 square feet during the first quarter of 2014 for an aggregate cash rent spread of 27.2%. |
· | The Company opened five new anchor tenants totaling 239,000 square feet of total GLA in the first quarter of 2014. |
As of March 31, 2014, the Company owned interests in 64 operating properties totaling approximately 11.3 million square feet. The owned GLA in the Company’s retail operating portfolio was 95.3% leased as of March 31, 2014, compared to 94.5% leased as of March 31, 2013. The owned net rentable area of the Company’s two commercial properties was 95.2% leased as of March 31, 2014 compared to 94.0% leased as of March 31, 2013.
Same property net operating income, which includes 50 operating properties, increased 4.7% in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was due to occupancy gains, additional rent related to strong tenant sales, and positive re-leasing spreads. The leased percentage of these properties increased to 96.4% at March 31, 2014 from 95.1% at March 31, 2013.
The Company executed 44 new and renewal leases during the first quarter of 2014 totaling 259,600 square feet. The Company generated positive cash leasing spreads in the quarter with new leases up 51.1% and renewals up 3.2% for a blended spread of 27.2%. The new leasing spreads are primarily driven by the re-tenanting of the former Wal-Mart at our Gainesville, Florida redevelopment property.
As previously announced, the Company opened five new anchor tenants totaling 239,000 square feet of GLA in the first quarter of 2014. The new anchor tenants are Sprouts Farmers Market at Sunland Town Center in El Paso, Texas; Walgreens at Rangeline Crossing in Indianapolis, Indiana; LA Fitness at Bolton Plaza in Jacksonville, Florida; Fresh Market at Lithia Crossing in Tampa, Florida; and a non-owned Target at Parkside Town Commons in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Guidance Range for 2014 | | Low | | | High | |
Net income per diluted common share | | $ | 0.00 | | | $ | 0.04 | |
Depreciation and amortization | | | 0.48 | | | | 0.48 | |
FFO per diluted common share, as adjusted | | $ | 0.48 | | | $ | 0.52 | |
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Given the nature of the Company’s business as a real estate owner and operator, the Company believes that FFO and FFO, as adjusted, are helpful to investors when measuring operating performance because they exclude various items included in net income or loss that do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, such as gains or losses from sales and impairments of operating properties, and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. For informational purposes, we have also provided FFO adjusted for first quarter 2014 costs associated with our pending merger with Inland Diversified and the first quarter 2013 write-off of deferred loan costs. We believe this supplemental information provides a more meaningful measure of our operating performance. The Company believes presenting FFO and adjusted FFO in this manner allows investors and other interested parties to form a more meaningful assessment of the Company’s operating results. Reconciliations of net income to FFO and adjusted FFO are included in the attached table.

The Company believes that Net Operating Income is helpful to investors as a measure of its operating performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of its operating performance, such as depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and impairment, if any. The Company believes that Same Property NOI is helpful to investors as a measure of its operating performance because it includes only the NOI of properties that have been owned for the full period presented, which eliminates disparities in net income due to the redevelopment, acquisition or disposition of properties during the particular period presented, and thus provides a more consistent metric for the comparison of the Company's properties. NOI and Same Property NOI should not, however, be considered as alternatives to net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as indicators of the Company's financial performance.
Kite Realty Group Trust is a full-service, vertically integrated real estate company engaged primarily in the development, construction, acquisition, ownership and operation of high-quality neighborhood and community shopping centers in selected markets in the United States. We are organized as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for federal income tax purposes. As of March 31, 2014, we owned interests in 68 properties totaling approximately 11.8 million square feet and an additional 0.7 million square feet in two development projects currently under construction.
Our strategy is to maximize the cash flow of our operating properties, successfully complete the construction and lease-up of our development portfolio and identify additional growth opportunities in the form of acquisitions and redevelopments. New investments are focused in the shopping center sector in markets where we currently operate and where we believe we can leverage existing infrastructure and relationships to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns.
This Quarterly Financial Supplement contains historical information of Kite Realty Group Trust (“the Company” or “KRG”) and is intended to supplement the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 to be filed on or about May 9, 2014, which should be read in conjunction with this supplement. The supplemental information is unaudited, although it reflects all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of operating results for the interim periods.

Future events and actual results, performance, transactions or achievements, financial or otherwise, may differ materially from the results, performance, transactions or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Risks, uncertainties and other factors that might cause such differences, some of which could be material, include, but are not limited to:
The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Funds from Operations (FFO) is a widely used performance measure for real estate companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure of operating performance. We calculate FFO in accordance with the best practices described in the April 2002 National Policy Bulletin of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), which we refer to as the White Paper. The White Paper defines FFO as net income (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)), excluding gains (or losses) from sales and impairments of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Considering the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we believe that FFO is helpful to investors in measuring our operational performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as gains or losses from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. For informational purposes, we have also provided FFO adjusted for the write-off of deferred financing costs in the first quarter of 2013 and costs incurred in the first quarter of 2014 related to the pending merger with Inland Diversified. We believe this supplemental information provides a meaningful measure of our operating performance. We believe our presentation of adjusted FFO provides investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparison of operating performance between periods and among our peer companies. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance, is not an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of funds available to satisfy our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. Our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.
Net operating income (NOI) is provided here as a supplemental measure of operating performance. NOI is defined as property revenues less property operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, impairment, and other items. We believe this presentation of NOI is helpful to investors as a measure of our operational performance because it is widely used in the real estate industry to measure the performance of real estate assets without regard to various items, included in net income, that do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, such as depreciation and amortization, which can vary depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets. We also believe NOI helps our investors to meaningfully compare the results of our operating performance from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense on our outstanding indebtedness) and depreciation of the basis in our assets from our operating results. NOI should not, however, be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance.
