Funds from Operations ("FFO") per diluted share $ 0.55   $ 0.51   $ 1.28   $ 1.04
FFO, as adjusted, per diluted share (1) $ 0.55   $ 0.55   $ 1.06   $ 1.08
 

(1) FFO, as adjusted, for the six months ended June 30, 2014, excludes a partial legal settlement of $0.8 million and gain on extinguishment of debt of $42.7 million primarily related to the January 2014 foreclosure of the mortgage loan secured by Citadel Mall.  FFO, as adjusted, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, excludes a loss on extinguishment of debt of $9.1 million, primarily related to the prepayment of a secured loan and a gain on investment of $2.4 million related to collection of a note receivable.

 

CBL's President and Chief Executive Officer Stephen Lebovitz commented, "With our strong second quarter results, we remain on track to meet our outlined goals for the year for same-center NOI growth and other key operating metrics. We are also making progress on our asset disposition program with one additional mall under contract and several others under active negotiations. We are committed to the successful execution of our strategy to dispose of non-core properties and reinvest into higher growth assets.

"We are also excited about this week's opening of The Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass between Louisville and Lexington, Kentucky, which is 100% leased with an incredible line-up of more than 80 premium brands. This property is a terrific addition to the CBL portfolio. "

FFO allocable to common shareholders, as adjusted, for the second quarter of 2014 was $93.0 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, compared with $90.8 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2013. FFO of the operating partnership, as adjusted, for the second quarter of 2014 was $109.1 million compared with $106.9 million, for the second quarter of 2013. FFO per share was flat from the prior-year period primarily as a result of dilution from the equity raised through the Company's At-The-Market program during the second quarter 2013 and the sale of assets in the third quarter 2013.

Net income attributable to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2014 was $26.7 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared with net income of $0.5 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2013.

Percentage change in same-center Net Operating Income ("NOI")(1):

MAJOR VARIANCES IMPACTING SAME-CENTER NOI RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2014

  • Contributions from new and renewal lease spreads resulted in $3.5 million of growth in minimum rent compared with the prior-year period, partially offset by a $0.7 million decline in percentage rents due to lower sales year-to-date.
  • Operating expenses improved by $0.4 million and maintenance and repairs improved by $0.8 million, primarily as a result of expense controls and cost saving measures.
  • Real estate taxes increased by $0.5 million.

DEVELOPMENT

On July 31st, the Company will celebrate the Grand Opening of The Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass in Simpsonville (Louisville), KY. The 375,000-square-foot outlet center will open 100% leased or committed with more than 80 stores, including Michael Kors, Nike, Saks Fifth Avenue off 5th and The North Face.

TRANSACTIONS

In May 2014, the Company completed the sale of Lakeshore Mall in Sebring, FL, for $14.0 million. In June 2014, the Company completed the sale of an expansion to the Foothills Plaza associated center in Maryville, TN, for $2.6 million.

Subsequent to the quarter-end, CBL entered into non-binding contracts for the sale of one mall and its associated center and a community center. Subject to the completion of normal due diligence and closing conditions, the sales are expected to close in the fourth quarter 2014. The aggregate scale of the transactions is less than $25.0 million. Additional details will be announced following the expiration of due diligence.

FINANCING ACTIVITY

In July, CBL closed on a $126.0 million non-recourse loan secured by Coastal Grand in Myrtle Beach, SC. The mall is owned in a 50/50 joint venture. The new ten-year loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.0865% and matures in August 2024. Proceeds from the loan were used to retire the existing $75.2 million loan. Excess proceeds were distributed 50/50 to the Company and its partner. The Company used its share of net proceeds to pay down outstanding balances on the Company's lines of credit.

OUTLOOK AND GUIDANCE

The Company is affirming 2014 Adjusted FFO guidance in the range of $2.22 - $2.26 per diluted share. CBL is assuming same-center NOI growth of 1.0-2.0% in 2014.

The guidance also assumes the following:

  • Flat interest expense
  • $2.0 million to $4.0 million of outparcel sales
  • 0-25 basis point increase in total portfolio occupancy as well as stabilized mall occupancy throughout 2014
  • No additional unannounced acquisition or disposition activity
  • No unannounced capital markets activity - equity or debt

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Funds From Operations

FFO is a widely used measure of the operating performance of real estate companies that supplements net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses on sales of depreciable operating properties and impairment losses of depreciable properties, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and noncontrolling interests. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and noncontrolling interests are calculated on the same basis. We define FFO allocable to common shareholders as defined above by NAREIT less dividends on preferred stock. The Company’s method of calculating FFO allocable to its common shareholders may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

The Company believes that FFO provides an additional indicator of the operating performance of its properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assumes the value of real estate assets declines predictably over time. Since values of well-maintained real estate assets have historically risen with market conditions, the Company believes that FFO enhances investors’ understanding of its operating performance. The use of FFO as an indicator of financial performance is influenced not only by the operations of the Company’s properties and interest rates, but also by its capital structure. The Company presents both FFO of its operating partnership and FFO allocable to its common shareholders, as it believes that both are useful performance measures. The Company believes FFO of its operating partnership is a useful performance measure since it conducts substantially all of its business through its operating partnership and, therefore, it reflects the performance of the properties in absolute terms regardless of the ratio of ownership interests of the Company’s common shareholders and the noncontrolling interest in the operating partnership. The Company believes FFO allocable to its common shareholders is a useful performance measure because it is the performance measure that is most directly comparable to net income (loss) attributable to its common shareholders.

In the reconciliation of net income attributable to the Company's common shareholders to FFO allocable to its common shareholders, located in this earnings release, the Company makes an adjustment to add back noncontrolling interest in income (loss) of its operating partnership in order to arrive at FFO of its operating partnership. The Company then applies a percentage to FFO of its operating partnership to arrive at FFO allocable to its common shareholders. The percentage is computed by taking the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and dividing it by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares and the weighted average number of operating partnership units outstanding during the period.

FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) for purposes of evaluating the Company’s operating performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

As described above, during the first quarter of 2014, the Company recognized a $42.7 million net gain on the extinguishment of debt in connection with the foreclosure of the mortgage loan encumbering Citadel Mall and the early retirement of the mortgage loan encumbering St. Clair Square. Additionally, the Company received income of $0.8 million as a partial settlement of ongoing litigation. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded $2.4 million of gain on investment and $9.1 million of loss on extinguishment of debt. Considering the significance and nature of these items, the Company believes it is important to identify their impact on 2014 FFO measures for readers to have a complete understanding on the Company's results of operations. Therefore, the Company has also presented adjusted FFO measures for 2014, excluding these items.

Same-Center Net Operating Income

NOI is a supplemental measure of the operating performance of the Company's shopping centers and other properties. The Company defines NOI as property operating revenues (rental revenues, tenant reimbursements and other income) less property operating expenses (property operating, real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs).

Similar to FFO, the Company computes NOI based on its pro rata share of both consolidated and unconsolidated properties. The Company's definition of NOI may be different than that used by other companies and, accordingly, the Company's NOI may not be comparable to that of other companies.

Since NOI includes only those revenues and expenses related to the operations of its shopping center and other properties, the Company believes that same-center NOI provides a measure that reflects trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs and the impact of those trends on the Company's results of operations. The Company’s calculation of same-center NOI also excludes lease termination income, straight-line rent adjustments, and amortization of above and below market lease intangibles in order to enhance the comparability of results from one period to another, as these items can be impacted by one-time events that may distort same-center NOI trends and may result in same-center NOI that is not indicative of the ongoing operations of the Company’s shopping center and other properties. A reconciliation of same-center NOI to net income is located at the end of this earnings release.

Pro Rata Share of Debt

The Company presents debt based on its pro rata ownership share (including the Company's pro rata share of unconsolidated affiliates and excluding noncontrolling interests' share of consolidated properties) because it believes this provides investors a clearer understanding of the Company's total debt obligations which affect the Company's liquidity. A reconciliation of the Company's pro rata share of debt to the amount of debt on the Company's consolidated balance sheet is located at the end of this earnings release.

CBL defines NOI as property operating revenues (rental revenues, tenant reimbursements and other income), less property operating expenses (property operating, real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs). Same-center NOI excludes lease termination income, straight-line rent adjustments, and amortization of above and below market lease intangibles. Same-center NOI is for real estate properties and does not include the results of operations of the Company's subsidiary that provides janitorial, security and maintenance services. We include a property in our same-center pool when we own all or a portion of the property as of June 30, 2014, and we owned it and it was in operation for both the entire preceding calendar year and the current year-to-date reporting period ending June 30, 2014. New properties are excluded from same-center NOI, until they meet this criteria. The only properties excluded from the same-center pool that would otherwise meet this criteria are non-core properties, properties under major redevelopment, properties where we intend to renegotiate the terms of the debt secured by the related property and properties included in discontinued operations.
