FRP HOLDINGS, INC. ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2015.
Jacksonville, Florida; August 5, 2015 - Today, FRP Holdings, Inc. ("FRPH")
reported net income from continuing operations of $2,047,000 or $.21 per share,
an increase of $293,000 or 17%, versus $1,754,000 or $.18 per diluted share in
the third quarter last year. The Company reported net income from continuing
operations of $4,022,000 or $.41 per diluted share in the first nine months of
fiscal 2015, an increase of $185,000 or 5%, compared to net income from
continuing operations of $3,837,000 or $.40 per diluted share in the same
period last year. Post Spin-off we are reporting any net gain/(loss) from the
transportation business as "discontinued operations" and we currently have no
other discontinued operations being reported.
Third Quarter Consolidated Results of Continuing Operations. For the third
quarter of fiscal 2015, consolidated operating profit was $3,889,000, an
increase of $1,026,000 or 35.8% compared to $2,863,000 in the same quarter
last year. Total revenues for the Company were $8,497,000, up $818,000, or
11%, over the same quarter last year.
The improvement in results is mostly attributable to the addition of the
third build-to-suit building at Patriot Business Park and improved volumes
at several of our mining locations somewhat offset by increases in (i)
depreciation expense due to the addition of the third build-to-suit at
Patriot Business Park, (ii) non-reimbursed property taxes (at our Anacostia
property), and (iii) higher interest expense by $49,000 as a result of less
capitalized interest in this quarter and less debt outstanding.
Third Quarter Segment Operating Results.
Asset Management Segment:
------------------------
Total revenues in this segment were $6,509,000, up $427,000 over the same
quarter last year, and rental revenues in this segment were $5,684,000, up
$389,000 over the same quarter last year, due to an increase in square feet
occupied in this segment. Cost of operations increased $117,000 due mainly
to depreciation on the newest build-to-suit. Operating profit in this quarter
was $3,104,000, up $310,000, versus $2,794,000 in the same quarter last year,
an 11% increase. Our occupied square feet increased 149,770 square feet
(4.8%) over last year's 3rd quarter and our occupancy was up to 90.4% on
June 30 versus 89.5% last June. Rent growth for leases renewed or replaced
during the quarter showed a 5.57% increase.
Mining Royalty Lands Segment:
----------------------------
Total revenues in this segment were $1,735,000, up $340,000, due mainly to
an increase in tons mined this quarter versus the same quarter last year.
Our operating profit was $1,380,000, up $327,000 versus
the same quarter last year. We believe that volumes will continue to increase
at our locations as construction activity in Florida and Georgia improves and
the tenant at our Manassas location shifts 100% of their production to our
property for the foreseeable future.
Land Development and Construction Segment:
-----------------------------------------
Revenues were $253,000 up $51,000 from last year's 3rd quarter due to higher
real estate tax reimbursement from the ground lease at our Square 664E property
in D.C. Costs of operating this segment were $781,000 in the quarter which was
an increase of $176,000 driven primarily by higher property taxes of $119,000
due to the increase in assessed value of our future Phases 2 thru 4 at our
Anacostia property in DC and the higher use of management resources on: (i) the
preparation and initiation of construction of a new 80,000 square foot spec
building at our Hollander Business Park; (ii) to search for and select an
income producing replacement property (Section 1031 exchange) for the upcoming
sale of our Windlass Run Residential Phase 2 land; and (iii) the evaluation of
a proposed joint venture for the development and construction of a single story
office park on the remainder of our undeveloped lands in the Windlass Run
Business Park. We spent over $919,000 in this segment on capital improvements
in the 3rd quarter primarily on construction of the new spec building at our
Hollander Business Park ($650,000) and completion of the entitlements in
preparation for the sale of our Windlass Run Residential property ($90,000)
expected to close prior to our fiscal year end.
First Nine Months of Fiscal 2015 Consolidated Results of Continuing
Operations. For the first nine months of fiscal 2015, consolidated operating
profit was $8,393,000 (negatively impacted by $1,081,000 of corporate expense
not allocable to discontinued operations per GAAP rules), an increase of
1,532,000 or 22.3% compared to $6,861,000 (negatively impacted by $2,072,000
of corporate expense not allocable to discontinued operations per GAAP rules)
in the same period last year. For the nine months ended June 30, 2015, total
revenues for the Company were $25,747,000, up $2,832,000, or 12%, over the
same period last year.
The increase in revenues is mostly attributable to the addition of occupied
square footage in our Asset Management segment and improved volumes at
several of our mining locations offset by increases in (i) depreciation
expense and operating expenses due to the addition of assets to the portfolio,
(ii) non-reimbursed property taxes (at our Anacostia property), (iii) higher
interest expense ($515,000) as a result of less capitalized interest in this
period due mostly to the completion of construction activities at Patriot
Business Park, and (iv) management and corporate expense. Corporate expense
increased due to (i) an increase in one-time spin-off costs, (ii) an increase
in director compensation mainly due to the addition of a director to our Board
of Directors, and (iii) higher corporate medical claims.
First Nine Months of Fiscal 2015 Segment Operating Results.
Asset Management Segment:
------------------------
Rental revenues in this segment were $17,183,000 versus $15,441,000 in the
same period last year due mainly to an increase in square feet occupied. Cost
of operations was up $909,000 due mainly to adding additional square feet to
this segment resulting in higher depreciation. Operating profit was
$9,251,000 versus $7,986,000 in the same period last year, a 16% increase.
Mining Royalty Lands Segment:
----------------------------
Total revenues in this segment were $4,414,000 versus $3,889,000 in the same
period last year due mainly to increased volume production at most of our
locations. Operating profit was $3,320,000, up 16% over the same period last
year. We believe that mining volumes will continue to increase at our
locations as construction activity in Florida and Georgia continues to
improve, our Ft. Myer's location transitions into active mining production and
the tenant's mining operations at our Manassas location
shifts 100% onto Company owned lands.
Land Development and Construction Segment:
-----------------------------------------
Revenues were $737,000, up $133,000, from the same period last year due to
higher real estate tax reimbursement from the ground lease at our Square 664E
property in D.C. Costs of operating this segment were $2,783,000 in the period
which was an increase of $861,000 driven primarily by higher property taxes of
$348,000 due to the increase in assessed values of our 664E property and our
future Phases 2 thru 4 land at our Anacostia property, both located in DC;
higher operating expenses as we undertook work to shore up the bulkhead on the
Anacostia river at our 664E property located adjacent to the recently announced
site of the future DC United soccer stadium and the higher use of management
resources on: (i) completion of the third build to suit at Patriot Business
Park and all the horizontal improvements at Hollander Business Park and
(ii) the items previously listed in the third quarter results for the segment.
In this period we have spent over $2,000,000 capital with respect to the
projects referenced above.
Summary and Outlook. With the successful completion of the Spin-off and its
one-time costs this year of $324,000 behind us, we are focused on building
shareholder value through our real estate holdings - mainly by growing our
portfolio and converting non-income producing assets into income production.
Our revenues year to date were up a solid 12.4% over the same period in fiscal
year 2014. We envision continuing that growth in the near term through
(i) the addition of an 80,000 square foot warehouse building currently under
construction at Hollander Business Park, (ii) the acquisition of an income
producing property in a tax deferred Section 1031 exchange using the proceeds
from the $11.2M sale of our Windlass Run Phase II residential land, and
(iii) increased volumes at most of our mining locations, including the shift
to a 100% production on our lands at our Manassas location and the transition
into active mining production at our Ft. Myers location. We remain optimistic
that the acquisition and operation of the Newberry cement plant by Argos USA,
and the continued improvement in the Florida residential construction market,
will result in higher volumes at that location in the foreseeable future.
