Northstar Realty Finance Corp. : NorthStar Realty Finance Announces Third Quarter 2011 Results

11/03/2011 | 06:35am

NEW YORK, Nov. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --



Third Quarter 2011 Highlights



-- Declared third quarter 2011 dividend of $0.125 per common share, 25%
increase over prior quarter.
-- AFFO per diluted share of $0.29.
-- $116 million of unrestricted cash at September 30, 2011.
-- Acquired $240 million CRE CDO.
-- Non-listed REIT surpasses $100 million of capital raised to-date.


NorthStar Realty Finance Corp. (NYSE: NRF) today announced its results for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.



Third Quarter 2011 Results


NorthStar reported adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO") for the third quarter 2011 of $0.29 per diluted share compared with $0.15 per diluted share for the third quarter 2010.



Net loss to common stockholders for the third quarter 2011 was $(24.6) million, or $(0.26) per diluted share, compared to net loss of $(144.1) million, or $(1.87) per diluted share for the third quarter 2010. Third quarter 2011 net loss includes $(43.5) million of unrealized losses relating to non-cash fair value adjustments, compared to $(169.4) million of unrealized losses for the third quarter 2010. These non-cash fair value gains and losses are excluded from AFFO. Realized gains totaled $13.7 million for the third quarter 2011, compared with $26.8 million for the third quarter 2010.



At September 30, 2011, GAAP book value per share was $8.88. For a reconciliation of net income (loss) to AFFO and GAAP book value per share, please refer to the tables on the following pages.



David T. Hamamoto, chairman and chief executive officer, commented, "Over the past few quarters, we have deployed a substantial amount of capital in accretive and opportunistic investments, in addition to recycling our CDO cash into higher yielding investments. As a result, NorthStar is pleased to have increased its quarterly common dividend by 25%, while at the same time retaining excess cash flow to pursue new investment opportunities with attractive risk-adjusted returns."



Mr. Hamamoto continued, "Surpassing the critical $100 million benchmark for capital raised to-date in our current non-listed REIT offering is a clear sign of NorthStar's viability in that market and we have high expectations for the future. The significant number of selling agreements with best in class broker-dealers and their registered representatives we added during the past several quarters is translating into increased capital raising velocity. We expect these positive trends to continue, resulting in an increasing stream of fee income and cash flow to NorthStar."



Investments and Fee Income



NorthStar's investments highlights for the third quarter 2011:



-- Repurchased $63 million par amount of its CDO bonds. As of September 30,
2011, NorthStar owned a total of $556 million of its own CDO bonds, of
which $377 million were re-purchased at an average price of 32% of par
and had a weighted average original credit rating of AA-/Aa3. This
discount to par of $256 million represents potential imbedded gains that
we can realize in future periods.
-- Acquired the collateral management rights, equity notes and $14 million
of principal of originally-investment grade bonds of a $240 million
commercial real estate CDO from CapLease Inc. The investment was funded
with $12 million of unrestricted cash and $11 million of CDO cash. The
collateral consists of 61 investment grade credit tenant leases (72%),
corporate credit notes (7%) and CMBS (21%) having a total weighted
average coupon of 6.5% and a weighted average life of approximately 8
years. The equity notes and collateral management fees are currently
expected to generate an initial approximate 25% annualized cash yield on
the $12 million unrestricted cash investment.
-- Voluntarily repaid in full the $100 million preferred membership
interest in NRF Healthcare which had a 10.5% distribution rate and an
option to convert into common equity of our healthcare net lease
portfolio.


NorthStar had approximately $7.3 billion of assets under management at September 30, 2011.



During the third quarter 2011, NorthStar earned management fees from its consolidated CDOs of $4.4 million and special servicing fees of $0.1 million. These fees are eliminated on NorthStar's consolidated statement of operations. In addition, during the third quarter 2011, NorthStar received $0.2 million of advisory fees from NorthStar's sponsored non-listed REIT.



For additional details regarding our investments and fee income, please refer to the tables on the following pages.



Liquidity, Financing and Capital Markets


Total liquidity at September 30, 2011 included $116 million of unrestricted cash and $19 million of available cash for re-investment in NorthStar's CDOs. At September 30, 2011, NorthStar's only unrestricted cash needs related to non-discretionary future funding obligations associated with existing loan commitments were approximately $4 million.



NorthStar Real Estate Income Trust ("NSREIT"), a non-listed REIT sponsored by NorthStar, raised $32 million in the third quarter 2011, representing an 81% increase compared to the prior quarter. NSREIT has raised $59 million in 2011 and $88 million since inception through September 30, 2011. NRF Capital Markets, LLC, NorthStar's wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary, had total signed selling agreements with broker-dealers covering more than 40,000 registered representatives as of September 30, 2011. NorthStar expects to earn recurring, net fees approximately equal to three percentage points based on total capital raised for each of our sponsored, non-listed REITs.



Currently, NorthStar's only near-term corporate debt obligations relate to its exchangeable senior notes, of which $22 million principal amount of 7.25% notes are payable in June 2012 at the holders' option and $36 million of 11.5% notes are due in June 2013.



Risk Management



At September 30, 2011, NorthStar had three loans on non-performing status ("NPL"), representing $41 million in aggregate principal amount and a $2 million book value. This amount is unchanged from June 30, 2011. NorthStar categorizes a loan as non-performing if it is in maturity default and/or is past due 90 days on its contractual debt service payments.



During the third quarter 2011, NorthStar recorded $9 million of loan loss provisions relating to three loans, compared to $14 million of loan loss provisions related to four loans recorded during the second quarter 2011. As of September 30, 2011, loan loss provisions totaled $191 million, or 7% of total loans, related to 22 loans with a book value of $286 million.



As of September 30, 2011, NorthStar's core net lease portfolio was 94% leased with a 6.7 year weighted average remaining lease term. As of September 30, 2011, 100% of our net lease healthcare portfolio was leased to third-party operators with weighted average lease coverage of 1.4x and a 7.9 year weighted average remaining lease term.



Stockholders' Equity



At September 30, 2011, NorthStar had 100,237,463 total common shares and operating partnership units outstanding and $30 million of non-controlling interests relating to its operating partnership. GAAP book value per share was $8.88 at September 30, 2011. Exclusive of all unrealized adjustments, loan loss provisions, and accumulated depreciation and amortization, adjusted book value at September 30, 2011 would be $7.41 per share. The adjusted book value does not take into consideration any value related to the in-place and anticipated advisory fee income streams generated by our sponsored, non-listed REIT vehicles and our CDO management fees. For a calculation of adjusted book value per share, please refer to the tables on the following pages.



Common Dividend Announcement



On November 2, 2011, NorthStar announced that its Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.125 per share of common stock, payable with respect to the quarter ended September 30, 2011. The dividend is expected to be paid on November 18, 2011 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 14, 2011. The Company's common shares will begin trading ex-dividend on November 10, 2011.

Funds from Operations (FFO) and Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)



Management believes that funds from operations, or FFO, and adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, each of which are non-GAAP measures, are additional appropriate measures of the operating performance of a REIT and NorthStar in particular. We compute FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of depreciable properties, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, real estaterelated depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated/uncombined partnerships and joint ventures. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is a computation made by analysts and investors to measure a real estate company's cash flow generated by operations.



NorthStar calculates AFFO by subtracting from or adding to FFO:



-- normalized recurring expenditures that are capitalized by NorthStar and
then amortized, but which are necessary to maintain NorthStar's
properties and revenue stream, e.g., leasing commissions and tenant
improvement allowances;
-- an adjustment to reverse the effects of the straightlining of rents and
fair value lease revenue;
-- the amortization or accrual of various deferred costs including
intangible assets and equity-based compensation;
-- an adjustment to reverse the effects of acquisition gains or losses; and
-- an adjustment to reverse the effects of non-cash unrealized gains
(losses).


NorthStar's calculation of AFFO differs from the methodology used for calculating AFFO by certain other REITs and, accordingly, our AFFO may not be comparable to AFFO reported by other REITs.



Neither FFO nor AFFO is equivalent to net income or cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Furthermore, FFO and AFFO do not represent amounts available for management's discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments or uncertainties. Neither FFO nor AFFO should be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of NorthStar's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of NorthStar's liquidity.



NorthStar urges investors to carefully review the GAAP financial information included as part of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and quarterly earnings releases.
