Select Income REIT Announces 2012 Second Quarter Results
Newton, MA (August 6, 2012): Select Income REIT (NYSE: SIR) today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. SIR was formed on December 19, 2011 as a wholly owned subsidiary of CommonWealth REIT (NYSE: CWH), and SIR sold approximately 29.5% of its common shares in an initial public offering, or IPO, on March 12, 2012. Accordingly, SIR’s historical results of operations are not comparable to results which may be expected in future periods.
Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2012:
Normalized funds from operations, or Normalized FFO, for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 were $19.0 million, compared to Normalized FFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 of $20.5 million. Normalized FFO per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 were $0.61 per share.
Net income was $15.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to $17.7 million for the same quarter last year. Net income per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 was $0.49.
The weighted average number of common shares outstanding was 31,200,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, SIR did not have any outstanding shares.
A reconciliation of net income determined according to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, to funds from operations, or FFO, and Normalized FFO for the quarters ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 appears later in this press release.
Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2012:
Normalized FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $39.5 million, compared to Normalized FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2011 of $40.7 million. Normalized FFO per share for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $1.78 per share.
Net income was $33.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $35.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Net income per share for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $1.49.
The weighted average number of common shares outstanding was 22,202,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, SIR did not have any outstanding shares.
SIR issued 22,000,000 common shares to CWH on February 16, 2012 (including 1,000 shares issued to CWH in connection with SIR’s formation on December 19, 2011) and issued 9,200,000 common shares in connection with its IPO on March 12, 2012. If the issuance of common shares to CWH and the IPO had occurred on January 1, 2012, then SIR’s weighted average number of common shares outstanding would have been 31,200,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.
A reconciliation of net income, determined according to GAAP, to FFO and Normalized FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 appears later in this press release.

As of June 30, 2012, 95.6% of SIR’s total rentable square feet was leased, compared to 95.2% as of March 31, 2012 and 95.5% as of June 30, 2011.
During the three months ended June 30, 2012, SIR entered lease renewals for approximately 38,000 square feet and new leases for approximately 147,000 square feet, which had combined weighted average rental rates that were 52.0% higher than prior rents for the same space. The weighted average lease term for new leases and lease renewals entered into during the second quarter of 2012 was 10.3 years. Commitments for tenant improvement, leasing commission costs and concessions for leases entered during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 totaled $3.29 per square foot on average.

Financing Activities:
On July 12, 2012, SIR entered into a five year $350.0 million unsecured term loan with a group of institutional lenders. The term loan matures on July 11, 2017, and is prepayable without penalty at any time. In addition, the term loan includes a feature under which maximum borrowings may be increased up to $700.0 million in certain circumstances. Interest is calculated at floating rates based upon LIBOR plus premiums that vary depending upon SIR’s debt leverage or credit ratings. SIR used the net proceeds of the term loan to repay amounts outstanding under its revolving credit facility and deposited excess proceeds in interest bearing cash accounts to fund general business activities, including future acquisitions.
Simultaneous with closing the term loan, SIR amended its revolving credit facility. As a result of this amendment, the equity of SIR’s subsidiaries that had been pledged as collateral was released.

(1) | SIR calculates FFO and Normalized FFO as shown above. FFO is calculated on the basis defined by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which is net income, calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus real estate depreciation and amortization. SIR’s calculation of Normalized FFO differs from NAREIT’s definition of FFO because SIR excludes acquisition related costs. SIR considers FFO and Normalized FFO to be appropriate measures of performance for a REIT, along with net income, operating income and cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities. SIR believes that FFO and Normalized FFO provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation expense, FFO and Normalized FFO can facilitate a comparison of operating performances between periods. FFO and Normalized FFO are among the factors considered by SIR’s Board of Trustees when determining the amount of distributions to SIR’s shareholders. Other factors include, but are not limited to, requirements to maintain SIR’s status as a REIT, limitations in SIR’s revolving credit facility and term loan agreement, the availability of debt and equity capital to SIR and SIR’s expectation of its future capital requirements and operating performance. FFO and Normalized FFO do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income or cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, or as indicators of SIR’s financial performance or liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of SIR’s needs. SIR believes that FFO and Normalized FFO may facilitate an understanding of SIR’s consolidated historical operating results. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income, operating income and cash flow from operating activities as presented in SIR’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate FFO and Normalized FFO differently than SIR does. |
