COLONY FINANCIAL ANNOUNCES
THIRD QUARTER 2013 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Los Angeles, CA, November 7, 2013/Business Wire/ – Colony Financial, Inc. (NYSE: CLNY) (the “Company”) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013.
Third Quarter 2013 Highlights
| • | | Core Earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, of $25.7 million, or $0.39 per basic share ($0.38 per diluted share) and net income attributable to common stockholders of $21.1 million, or $0.32 per basic and diluted share |
| • | | During the quarter, the Company invested approximately $126 million, composed of $42 million into an existing participating preferred equity investment in a diversified multifamily portfolio and $84 million into five loan originations with a blended interest rate of approximately 10% |
| • | | Obtained a new credit facility (to replace the prior $175 million credit facility) that, subject to certain conditions and limitations, provides maximum availability of $360 million, with an option to accordion to $600 million subject to additional lender commitments |
| • | | Declared and paid a third quarter dividend of $0.35 per share of common stock, consistent with the second quarter of 2013 |
| • | | Subsequent to quarter end, the Company invested and agreed to invest, on an unlevered basis, approximately $443 million, composed of (i) $288 million into three loan portfolio acquisitions including a portfolio of first mortgage, primarily multifamily loans from Freddie Mac, a portfolio of primarily first mortgage, commercial real estate loans from the FDIC and a portfolio of sub-performing, first mortgage loans on institutional Spanish assets from a European bank, (ii) $124 million into the acquisition of a credit tenant lease office campus in the Midwest and (iii) $31 million into two loan originations associated with our floating rate securitization and multifamily lending platforms; and raised net proceeds of approximately $202 million through the sale of 10 million shares of its common stock |
Third Quarter Operating Results
For the third quarter of 2013, equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures and interest income and other income from affiliates contributed $25.1 million and $22.4 million, respectively, to total income of $47.5 million. Total expenses for the quarter were $14.4 million including administrative expenses of $1.8 million. During the third quarter of 2013, the Company reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $21.1 million, or $0.32 per basic and diluted share. Colony Financial’s Core Earnings were $25.7 million, or $0.39 per basic share and $0.38 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2013.
“Our third quarter results demonstrate again the efficacy of our business model,” said Richard Saltzman, Colony Financial’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Core earnings of $0.39 per share more than covered our $0.35 per share dividend as was the case in the prior quarter. This is truly outstanding as Colony American Homes, our most significant investment at $550 million, showed improving results including a 10% rise in occupancy, but only contributes a minimal amount to our core earnings currently. Furthermore, our pipeline is more robust and diversified than ever as evidenced by both recent closings and new contracts to purchase. This includes two more investments acquired from U.S. government entities, a purchase of a first mortgage loan portfolio on core Spanish commercial real estate assets from a European bank, and our first credit tenant lease office acquisition.”
Third Quarter Activity
| • | | The Company and a minority unaffiliated investor invested an additional $51 million (of which the Company’s share was $42 million) of participating preferred equity in the joint venture referred to as Multifamily Portfolio Preferred Equity to facilitate the acquisition and renovation of approximately 2,700 apartment units in Georgia, Texas and Florida. The sponsor funded $17 million of common equity at closing. The additional investment was made on the same terms as the original investment made in March 2013, which provides for a 12% preferred return, 1% issuance fee and a 30% profit participation after the joint venture and the sponsor have each attained a 12% internal rate of return. The common and preferred equity proceeds were used along with mortgage financing proceeds to acquire multifamily properties comprising approximately 6,300 units within 16 apartment communities in Georgia, Texas and Florida. Our share of this participating preferred investment entity is 83%, or $97 million. |
| • | | The Company invested in a joint venture with investment funds managed by an affiliate of our Company’s manager (“Co-Investment Funds(s)”) that originated a $30 million first mortgage loan to finance the acquisition and redevelopment of high-end, single family residential properties in infill, coastal southern California markets. The loan bears an interest rate of 15%, of which 7% may be paid-in-kind, and is subject to certain other fees. The term of the loan is four years. The joint venture may fund an additional $40 million that would be funded at our discretion. The Company’s share of the investment is 50%, or $15 million funded to date. |
| • | | The Company invested in a joint venture with certain Co-Investment Funds to originate a U.S. dollar denominated $40 million junior first mortgage interest secured by a luxury beach resort in Mexico. The loan bears an interest rate of 11.5%, of which 3% may be paid-in-kind and is subject to certain other fees and yield maintenance features. The loan matures in January 2019. The Company’s share of this investment is 50%, or $20 million. |
| • | | The Company invested with a third party joint venture partner to originate a $70 million first mortgage loan secured by a newly constructed 385-unit off campus, student housing property in Upstate New York. The initial funding was $63 million with a $7 million future funding obligation subject to the property achieving certain operating metrics. The loan bears interest at 1-month LIBOR plus 5% with a 0.5% LIBOR floor and matures in September 2015. Subsequent to quarter end, the $7 million additional funding was advanced to the borrower as the property achieved the threshold operating metrics. The $70 million loan was funded via a $46 million non-recourse, matched term loan and $24 million from the joint venture. The Company’s share of this investment is 90% and the targeted levered equity return is approximately 11%. |
| • | | The Company invested in a joint venture with certain Co-Investment Funds that originated two U.S. dollar denominated first mortgage loans with a combined unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of $57 million to recapitalize a partially constructed hotel and residential development project located in St. Barths, French West Indies. One loan secured by the hotel portion of the property has an initial term of five years and bears interest at 1-month LIBOR plus 12.25%. The other loan secured by the residential portion of the property has an initial term of two years and bears interest at 1-month LIBOR plus 10.25%. The loans are subject to certain cross collateralization and cross default features, 1% origination fee, 1% exit fee and yield maintenance. The Company’s share of this investment is 33.3%, or $16 million. |
| • | | The Company entered into a joint venture with unaffiliated investors to form a platform to originate short-term, first mortgage loans on multifamily properties. This lending platform was formed in part to take advantage of the void expected to be left by the recently announced multifamily lending curtailment by Government Sponsored Enterprises (“GSEs”). Subsequent to quarter end, the joint venture originated a $44 million first mortgage loan secured by a multifamily property in Tennessee. Net of proceeds from the joint venture’s matched term, non-recourse credit facility, the Company’s share of the net equity is $8 million. |
| • | | The Company originated a $12 million first mortgage loan secured by a flex office building in Maryland. The loan bears interest at 1-month LIBOR plus 7.25% and is subject to 1% origination fee and 1% exit fee. The loan has an initial maturity date of October 2016 and can be extended for a maximum of 24 months, subject to payment of extension fees and satisfaction of debt yield requirements. This loan origination is part of an ongoing program to aggregate a sufficient number of similar profile loans to create an opportunity to subsequently finance the loan portfolio with a matched term, non-recourse, floating rate securitization. This execution would allow the Company to obtain expected leveraged equity returns in excess of 12% based on current market conditions. |
| • | | The Company maintained its funded investment in CAH OP at $550 million. As of September 30, 2013, Colony American Homes (“CAH”) owned approximately 14,100 homes in nine states and the overall portfolio was 59% leased, up from 49% leased as of June 30, 2013. As of November 2, 2013, CAH owned approximately 14,500 homes and the overall portfolio was 61% leased. The improvement in portfolio occupancy is the result of a deliberate strategy to slow acquisition activity in order to focus on improved operational performance including higher renovation and leasing productivity. During the third quarter, CAH averaged approximately 1,000 renovations and 900 new leases per month. This compares to 900 and 650, respectively, in the second quarter. Acquisitions averaged approximately 600 homes per month for the third quarter, as compared to 1,400 homes per month in the second quarter. During the third quarter, CAH also closed on a $500 million credit facility and expects to increase the facility size to over $1 billion by the end of the year. CAH has also begun originating loans under a new lending program to other owners of single family homes for rent. This loan portfolio, once scaled, as well as CAH’s broader owned homes portfolio could be financed with securitizations in the future. |
Activities Subsequent to Third Quarter 2013
| • | | The Company invested in a joint venture with certain Co-Investment Funds that acquired a portfolio of 100% performing loans from Freddie Mac. The portfolio is comprised of 27 loans with an average balance of $7.2 million and is 81% collateralized by multifamily assets with the balance a combination of student housing and seniors housing collateral. The aggregate purchase price for the portfolio was approximately $177 million, representing approximately 91% of the portfolio’s UPB of $194 million. The Company’s share of this investment is 73%, or $130 million. The portfolio is currently unlevered, however, it is expected to be financed with non-recourse financing in the near future. |
| • | | The Company invested in a joint venture with certain Co-Investment Funds that consummated a structured transaction with the FDIC. The joint venture acquired an initial 20% managing member equity interest in a newly formed limited liability company created to hold a portfolio of acquired loans, with the FDIC retaining the other 80% equity interest. Additionally, upon return of capital to all parties, the joint venture will receive a 40% equity interest in the entity, with the FDIC retaining the other 60% equity interest. The portfolio included 415 performing and non-performing loans with an aggregate UPB of $199 million, consisting of substantially all first mortgage recourse commercial real estate and acquisition, development and construction loans. The portfolio was effectively acquired at 57% of the portfolio’s UPB. The Company’s share of the managing member interest is 50%, or $13 million. |
| • | | As part of the Company’s ongoing loan origination program to pursue a potential floating rate securitization, the Company originated a $10 million first mortgage loan secured by a multi-tenant office building located in Michigan. The loan bears an interest rate of 1-month LIBOR plus a spread of 7% and a 1% origination fee and a 1% exit fee. The mortgage loan has an initial maturity date of November 2015 and can be extended for a maximum of 12 months, subject to payment of extension fees and satisfaction of debt yield requirements. |
| • | | The Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire an office campus by year-end in the Midwest fully occupied by a single-A rated tenant. The acquisition cost including estimated closing costs is approximately $124 million, which represents a 7.5% cap rate on in-place net operating income and approximately a 20% discount to estimated replacement cost. The Company expects to finance this acquisition with a 10-year term, non-recourse, fixed rate loan and is targeting an initial cash-on-cash yield of approximately 13%. |
| • | | The Company agreed to invest in a joint venture with certain Co-Investment Funds that is under a binding contract to acquire three sub-performing first mortgages at a substantial discount to UPB. The mortgages are secured by two office properties and one retail property in Spain. The Company may invest up to approximately $145 million for its share of the acquisition, prior to potential financing and co-investment. |
| • | | The Company issued 10,000,000 shares of its common stock and the net offering proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering costs payable by the Company were approximately $201.8 million. |
Credit Facility
On August 6, 2013, the Company obtained a new credit facility to replace the prior $175 million credit facility. Subject to certain conditions and limitations, the new credit facility provides maximum availability of $360 million (with an option to accordion to $600 million subject to additional lender commitments) and the Company currently has the ability to borrow the maximum amount. Compared to the prior facility, the new facility has expanded the types of assets and associated income that can qualify for the borrowing base and carries a lower interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.75% or 3.00% depending on the Company’s leverage ratio (down from a rate of LIBOR plus 3.50% or 3.75% for the prior facility). The new revolving facility has a three year term with an ability to extend any outstanding balance at initial maturity for an additional two years subject to certain terms and conditions.
Book Value
The Company’s GAAP book value per common share was $18.53 on September 30, 2013, down from $18.58 as of June 30, 2013. As of November 6, 2013, the Company had 76,492,749 shares of common stock outstanding.
Fair Value
If the Company accounted for all of its financial assets and liabilities at fair value, the net fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities at September 30, 2013 would have been $122.2 million in excess of the net carrying value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities as of the same date.
Common and Preferred Stock Dividends
The Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.35 per common share for the third quarter of 2013. The dividend was paid on October 15, 2013, to stockholders of record on September 30, 2013.
In addition, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.53125 per share on the Company’s 8.50% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference of $25 per share for the quarterly period ending October 15, 2013. The dividend was paid on October 15, 2013, to stockholders of record on September 30, 2013.
Core Earnings
Core Earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, is used to compute incentive fees payable to the Company’s manager and the Company believes it is a useful measure for investors to better understand the Company’s recurring earnings from its core business. For these purposes, “Core Earnings” mean the net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) non-cash equity compensation expense, (ii) the expenses incurred in connection with the formation of the Company and the Initial Public Offering, including the initial and additional underwriting discounts and commissions, (iii) the incentive fee, (iv) real estate depreciation and amortization, (v) any unrealized gains or losses from mark to market valuation changes (other than permanent impairment) that are included in net income, (vi) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and (vii) non-cash items which in the judgment of management should not be included in Core Earnings. For clauses (vi) and (vii), such exclusions shall only be applied after discussions between the manager and the Independent Directors and approval by a majority of the Independent Directors.
