WP Glimcher Reports Third Quarter 2015 Results
Announces Commitments on New Seven-Year Unsecured Term Loan
Board of Directors Approves Quarterly Dividend
COLUMBUS, OH - Nov. 2 2015 - WP Glimcher Inc. (NYSE: WPG), a premier retail real estate investment trust specializing in the ownership, management and development of shopping centers, today reported financial results and operating data for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015.
“In WP Glimcher’s short history, we have built an experienced team, are well on our way to implementing a best-in-class property management platform, and are delivering improved results,” said Michael P. Glimcher, CEO. “Our focus on maintaining and further improving our investment grade balance sheet is reflected by the recent commitment on a new, seven-year term loan. This strong foundation positions us well to drive continued improvement across our current portfolio.
“In addition, our integration is proceeding on schedule and we plan to close the Bethesda office by the end of the year," added Mr. Glimcher. "We remain on target to realize the planned synergies beginning in the second half of 2016.”
Third Quarter Results
Same property net operating income (NOI) for the Company’s core portfolio increased 0.7% in the third quarter of 2015, driven by continued strong performance across the community center portfolio, as well as sequential quarter-to-quarter improvement in the mall portfolio. Funds from Operations (FFO) were $98.5 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, for the third quarter, compared to $79.5 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, a year ago.
Results include costs related to the merger earlier this year with Glimcher Realty Trust (Glimcher). When excluding these costs, adjusted FFO (AFFO) for the third quarter of 2015 was $101.0 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, compared to $82.0 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2014.
The year-over-year increase in AFFO primarily relates to the contribution of FFO from the properties acquired in the Glimcher merger, partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses and interest expense.
Net income attributable to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2015 was $4.1 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to net income of $32.2 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, a year ago. The Company recorded a gain on the acquisition and sale of interests in properties of $9.0 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared to no such gain in the third quarter of 2015. Additionally, net income was impacted by a non-cash impairment loss of $9.9 million that was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2015.
Operational Highlights
Ending occupancy for the core properties was 92.6% as of September 30, 2015, compared to 93.5% a year ago, a decrease of 90 basis points. The decrease in occupancy was primarily due to the impact of the industry-wide wave of retailer bankruptcies that occurred in early 2015. Base rent per square foot for core properties was $21.39, an increase of 1.4%, compared to $21.10 per square foot a year ago. Mall in-line store sales at the Company’s core properties increased 5.6% to $361 per square foot for the twelve months ending September 30, 2015, compared to $342 per square foot for the same period a year ago.
The properties acquired in the January 15, 2015 merger with Glimcher are included in the same property NOI and operating metrics for both periods reported. These reported metrics exclude the impact of non-core properties. Non-core properties are comprised of seven assets that contribute approximately 4% of the Company’s total NOI. These properties represent assets that generate positive cash flow, are unencumbered, but offer limited long-term growth potential.
Investment Activity
Term Loan Commitments
The Company has currently received in excess of $320 million of non-binding commitments in support of a new seven-year unsecured term loan. Based upon the Company’s current debt levels, pricing will be set initially at LIBOR plus 180 basis points. The Company expects to close on this term loan within the next 45 days, and plans to use the proceeds for repayment of existing indebtedness and other general corporate expenses.
Mortgage Loans
On July 31, 2015, the Company repaid the $115.0 million mortgage on Clay Terrace in Carmel, Indiana and, on August 3, 2015, the Company repaid the $24.5 million mortgage on Bloomingdale Court in Bloomingdale, Illinois. These repayments were funded with available capacity on the Company’s credit facility.
The Company exercised the first of two options to extend the maturity date of the mortgage loan on Westshore Plaza, located in Tampa, Florida, for one year. The extended maturity date is October 1, 2016.
Quarterly Dividend
The Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on its common shares and operating partnership units. A cash dividend of $0.25 per common share and operating partnership unit was declared. The dividend is payable on December 15, 2015 to shareholders and operating partnership holders of record on December 2, 2015.
Additionally, the Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.4688 per Series H preferred share of beneficial interest, $0.4297 per Series I preferred share of beneficial interest, and $0.4563 per Series I-1 preferred unit of Preferred Limited Partnership Interest. Each of the cash dividends is payable on January 15, 2016 to shareholders and operating partnership holders of record on December 31, 2015.
Redevelopment Activity
During the third quarter of 2015, American Girl opened at Scottsdale Quarter, located in Scottsdale, Arizona. This marks the first American Girl in the Company’s portfolio and the only store in the state. The mixed-use addition at Scottsdale Quarter remains on track for completion in 2016. An affiliate of the Company owns 51% of the joint venture that owns Scottsdale Quarter.
The Company completed a 134,000 square feet redevelopment project at Polaris Fashion Place, located in Columbus, Ohio, with the opening of a new Dick’s Sporting Goods and Field & Stream in September 2015, replacing a former department store. An affiliate of the Company owns 51% of the joint venture that owns Polaris Fashion Place.
At the Mall at Fairfield Commons, located in Dayton, Ohio, additions of three new restaurants are scheduled to begin opening later in 2015. BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse, Bravo Cucina Italiana and Chuy’s will replace a former department store.
At Rockaway Commons, located in Rockaway, New Jersey, a new Nordstrom Rack and DSW opened in October. These retailers join a new Kirkland’s which opened earlier this year.
2015 Guidance
The Company raised its previously issued guidance for fiscal 2015 AFFO to a range of $1.84 to $1.88 per diluted share, and expects a net (loss) income to be within a range of $(0.02) to $0.02 per diluted share. Key guidance assumptions remained unchanged from previously issued guidance.
The following table provides the reconciliation for the expected range of estimated net loss attributable to common shareholders per diluted share to estimated AFFO per diluted share for the year ending December 31, 2015:
|
| | | | | | |

For the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company estimates net income attributable to common shareholders per diluted share to be in the range of $0.00 to $0.04 and AFFO per diluted share to be in the range of $0.43 to $0.47.
A reconciliation of the range of estimated net income per diluted share to estimated AFFO per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2015 follows:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes FFO and NOI, including same property NOI growth, which are financial performance measures not defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in this press release. FFO and same property NOI growth are financial performance measures widely used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs.
The Company uses FFO in addition to net income to report operating results. We determine FFO based on the definition set forth by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) as net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization, excluding gains and losses from extraordinary items and cumulative effects of accounting changes, excluding gains and losses from the sales or disposals of previously depreciated retail operating properties, excluding impairment charges of depreciable real estate, plus the allocable portion of FFO of unconsolidated entities accounted for under the equity method of accounting based upon economic ownership interest.
NOI is used by industry analysts, investors and Company management to measure operating performance of the Company’s properties. NOI represents total property revenues less property operating and maintenance expenses. Accordingly, NOI excludes certain expenses included in the determination of net income such as corporate general and administrative expense and other indirect operating expenses, interest expense, impairment charges and depreciation and amortization expense. These items are excluded from NOI in order to provide results that are more closely related to a property’s results of operations. In addition, the Company’s computation of same property NOI excludes termination income and income from outparcel sales. The Company also adjusts for other miscellaneous
items in order to enhance the comparability of results from one period to another. Certain items, such as interest expense, while included in FFO and net income, do not affect the operating performance of a real estate asset and are often incurred at the corporate level as opposed to the property level. As a result, management uses only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level to evaluate a property’s performance. Real estate asset related depreciation and amortization, as well as impairment charges, are excluded from NOI for the same reasons that they are excluded from FFO pursuant to NAREIT’s definition.
Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as they do not include all items of income and expense that affect operations, and accordingly, should always be considered as supplemental to financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors should understand that the Company’s computation of these non-GAAP measures might not be comparable to similar measures reported by other REITs and that these non-GAAP measures do not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, should not be considered as alternatives to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of operating performance, are not alternatives to cash flows as a measure of liquidity, and may not be reflective of WPG's operating performance due to changes in WPG's capital structure in connection with the separation and distribution. Investors are cautioned that items excluded from these measures are significant components in understanding and addressing financial performance.
For a reconciliation of these measures and other information, please refer to the attached tables.
