Select Income REIT Announces 2012 Third Quarter Results
Newton, MA (November 1, 2012): Select Income REIT (NYSE: SIR) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 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 September 30, 2012:
Normalized funds from operations, or Normalized FFO, for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 were $20.2 million, compared to Normalized FFO for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 of $19.4 million. Normalized FFO per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 were $0.65 per share.
Net income was $15.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, compared to $16.5 million for the same quarter last year. Net income per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 was $0.50 per share.
The weighted average number of common shares outstanding was 31,206,022 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. For the quarter ended September 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 September 30, 2012 and 2011 appears later in this press release.
Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012:
Normalized FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $59.6 million, compared to Normalized FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 of $60.1 million. Normalized FFO per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $2.36 per share.
A Maryland Real Estate Investment Trust with transferable shares of beneficial interest listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
No shareholder, Trustee or officer is personally liable for any act or obligation of the Trust.
Net income was $48.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $51.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Net income per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $1.93 per share.
The weighted average number of common shares outstanding was 25,225,548 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. For the nine months ended September 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 in December 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 31,202,022 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
A reconciliation of net income, determined according to GAAP, to FFO and Normalized FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 appears later in this press release.

As of September 30, 2012, 94.9% of SIR’s total rentable square feet was leased, compared to 95.2% as of September 30, 2011.
During the three months ended September 30, 2012, SIR executed a rent reset at a property located in Hawaii for approximately 105,000 square feet of land, which had a reset rate that was approximately 42.9% higher than the prior rate. In addition, SIR entered lease renewals and new leases for approximately 134,000 square feet during the quarter ended September 30, 2012. The weighted average lease term for lease renewals and new leases entered into during the third quarter of 2012 was 5.6 years. Commitments for tenant improvement, leasing commission costs and concessions for leases entered during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 totaled approximately $252,000, or approximately $0.34 per square foot per year of the weighted average lease term.

(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, as well as other adjustments currently not applicable to SIR. 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 our operating performance 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, the availability of debt and equity capital to SIR, SIR’s expectation of its future capital requirements and operating performance and SIR’s expected needs and availability of cash to pay its obligations. 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 Comprehensive Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate FFO and Normalized FFO differently than SIR does.
