Select Income REIT (Nasdaq:SIR) today announced financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2017.

David Blackman, President and Chief Operating Officer of SIR, made the following statement:

“During the fourth quarter of 2017, Select Income REIT’s core operations were solid, as evidenced by our 1.2% increase in same property Cash Basis NOI and our strong leasing volume. We completed over 568,000 square feet of leases for rents that were 21% higher than previous rents for the same space. We also completed rent resets for 200,000 square feet of leases in Hawaii resulting in a weighted average rent increase of over 38%. In January, our consolidated subsidiary, Industrial Logistics Properties Trust, or ILPT, completed its initial public offering. We received $750 million in cash from the transaction, which we used to pay down debt, and SIR currently owns approximately 69.2% of ILPT's common shares.”

Results for the Quarter Ended December 31, 2017:

Net income attributed to SIR was $2.1 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2017, compared to $24.2 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the same period last year. Net income attributed to SIR for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 includes business management incentive fees of $22.3 million, or $0.25 per diluted share. Net income attributed to SIR for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 includes a loss on impairment of real estate assets of $5.5 million, or $0.06 per diluted share.

Normalized funds from operations, or Normalized FFO, attributed to SIR for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 were $34.8 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, compared to $63.5 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, for the same quarter last year. Normalized FFO attributed to SIR for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 include business management incentive fees of $25.6 million, or $0.29 per diluted share.

Reconciliations of net income attributed to SIR determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, to funds from operations, or FFO, attributed to SIR and to Normalized FFO attributed to SIR for the quarters ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 appear later in this press release.

Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2017:

Net income attributed to SIR was $66.9 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $116.3 million, or $1.30 per diluted share, for the same period last year. Net income attributed to SIR for the year ended December 31, 2017 includes business management incentive fees of $25.6 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, and, as a result of a tenant bankruptcy, a write-off of straight line rents receivable of $12.5 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, and a loss on asset impairment of $4.0 million, or $0.05 per diluted share. Two of SIR's properties are impacted by this tenant bankruptcy; one of those properties is substantially vacant and the other is occupied by a subtenant of the former tenant who is now contractually obligated to pay SIR rent in an amount equal to the rent under the former tenant's lease.

Normalized FFO attributed to SIR for the year ended December 31, 2017 were $209.9 million, or $2.35 per diluted share, compared to $255.8 million, or $2.86 per diluted share, for the same period last year. Normalized FFO for the year ended December 31, 2017 include business management incentive fees of $25.6 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, and a write-off of straight line rents receivable of $12.5 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, related to leases associated with the tenant bankruptcy referenced above.

Reconciliations of net income attributed to SIR determined in accordance with GAAP to FFO attributed to SIR and to Normalized FFO attributed to SIR for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 appear later in this press release.

Leasing, Occupancy and Same Property Results:

During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, SIR entered lease renewals for approximately 395,000 square feet and new leases for approximately 173,000 square feet, which resulted in weighted average (by square feet) rental rates that were approximately 21.1% higher than prior rents for the same space and a weighted average (by square feet) lease term of 6.2 years. Commitments for leasing capital and concessions for these leases totaled approximately $13.9 million, or approximately $3.95 per square foot per lease year. During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, SIR also completed four rent resets at four of its Hawaii lands for approximately 200,000 square feet of land at weighted average rental rates that were approximately 38.6% higher than the prior rental rates.

As of December 31, 2017, 96.2% of SIR’s total rentable square feet was leased, compared to 96.2% as of September 30, 2017 and 96.8% as of December 31, 2016. Occupancy for properties owned continuously since October 1, 2016, or on a same property basis, decreased to 96.1% at December 31, 2017 from 96.8% at December 31, 2016. Same property cash basis net operating income, or Cash Basis NOI, increased 1.2% for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2016, primarily as a result of contractual rent increases for certain properties since October 1, 2016, partially offset by the decline in occupancy during 2017.

Reconciliations of net income determined in accordance with GAAP to net operating income, or NOI, and Cash Basis NOI for the quarters and years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 on a total and same property basis appear later in this press release.

Recent Financing Activities:

On December 29, 2017, SIR repaid three mortgage notes totaling $16.7 million, plus a premium of $0.2 million and accrued interest.

On January 2, 2018, SIR redeemed at par plus accrued interest all $350.0 million of its 2.85% senior notes due 2018.

On January 17, 2018, ILPT completed an initial public offering, or IPO, of 20,000,000 of its common shares for net proceeds (after deducting underwriters’ discounts and commissions and estimated expenses) of approximately $435.9 million. In connection with ILPT's formation, SIR contributed to ILPT substantially all of SIR's industrial and logistics properties located in Hawaii, totaling 226 buildings, leasable land parcels and easements, as well as 40 industrial and logistics buildings located in 24 other states (a combined 28.5 million rentable square feet) and ILPT issued a $750.0 million demand note to SIR. ILPT paid to SIR in full the $750.0 million demand note in December 2017 with borrowings under ILPT's $750.0 million revolving credit facility. Upon the closing of the IPO, ILPT used part of the net proceeds to reduce amounts outstanding under its revolving credit facility. ILPT also reimbursed SIR for costs that SIR incurred in connection with ILPT's formation and the preparation for ILPT's IPO. After ILPT's IPO, SIR continues to own 45,000,000, or approximately 69.2%, of ILPT's outstanding common shares.

On January 31, 2018, SIR repaid its $350.0 million unsecured term loan due 2020.

(2) In March 2017, one of SIR's tenants filed for bankruptcy and rejected two leases with SIR: (i) a lease for a property located in Huntsville, AL with approximately 1,400 rentable square feet and an original lease term until August 2032 and (ii) a lease for a property in Hanover, PA with approximately 502 rentable square feet and an original lease term until September 2028. The Huntsville, AL property is occupied by a subtenant of SIR's former tenant who is now contractually obligated to pay rent to SIR in an amount equal to the rent under the former tenant's lease for a term that runs concurrently with the former tenant’s original lease term but is subject to certain tenant termination rights. SIR expects that the lost rents plus carrying costs, such as real estate taxes, insurance, security and other operating costs, from a fully vacant Hanover, PA property may total approximately $3,800 per year. The bankruptcy court overseeing this matter granted SIR permission to offset its damages with a $3,739 security deposit held from the bankrupt former tenant with respect to the Hanover, PA property. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, SIR recorded a non-cash charge of $12,517 to write off straight line rents receivable (net of the $3,739 security deposit) related to the rejected leases with the bankrupt former tenant at both properties plus an impairment charge of $4,047 related to the write off of lease intangibles related to the property located in Hanover, PA.

(1) SIR calculates FFO attributed to SIR and Normalized FFO attributed to SIR as shown above. FFO attributed to SIR 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, loss on impairment of real estate assets and the difference between net income and FFO allocated to noncontrolling interest, as well as certain other adjustments currently not applicable to SIR. SIR’s calculation of Normalized FFO attributed to SIR differs from Nareit's definition of FFO because SIR includes business management incentive fees, if any, only in the fourth quarter versus the quarter when they are recognized as expense in accordance with GAAP due to their quarterly volatility not necessarily being indicative of SIR’s core operating performance and the uncertainty as to whether any such business management incentive fees will be payable when all contingencies for determining such fees are known at the end of the calendar year and SIR excludes acquisition and transaction related costs expensed under GAAP, loss on asset impairment and Normalized FFO, net of FFO, from noncontrolling interest, if any. SIR considers FFO attributed to SIR and Normalized FFO attributed to SIR to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net income, net income attributed to a REIT and operating income. SIR believes that FFO attributed to SIR and Normalized FFO attributed to SIR provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation expense, FFO attributed to SIR and Normalized FFO attributed to SIR may facilitate a comparison of its operating performance between periods and with other REITs. FFO attributed to SIR and Normalized FFO attributed to SIR 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 qualification for taxation as a REIT, limitations in SIR’s credit agreement and public debt covenants, the availability to SIR of debt and equity capital, SIR’s expectation of its future capital requirements and operating performance and SIR’s expected needs for and availability of cash to pay its obligations. FFO attributed to SIR and Normalized FFO attributed to SIR do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income, net income attributed to SIR or operating income as indicators of SIR’s operating performance or as measures of SIR’s liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income, net income attributed to SIR and operating income as presented in SIR’s consolidated statements of income. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate FFO and Normalized FFO differently than SIR does.
 
(2) During the three months ended March 31, 2017, SIR recorded a $4,047 loss on asset impairment for unamortized lease intangibles related to a lease associated with a tenant bankruptcy at a property located in Hanover, PA.
 
(3) Incentive fees under SIR’s business management agreement with The RMR Group LLC are payable after the end of each calendar year, are calculated based on common share total return, as defined, and are included in general and administrative expenses in SIR’s consolidated statements of income. In calculating net income in accordance with GAAP, SIR recognizes estimated business management incentive fee expense, if any, in the first, second and third quarters. Although SIR recognizes this expense, if any, in the first, second and third quarters for purposes of calculating net income, SIR does not include such expense in the calculation of Normalized FFO attributed to SIR until the fourth quarter, when the amount of the business management incentive fee expense for the calendar year, if any, is determined. Normalized FFO attributed to SIR for both the three months and year ended December 31, 2017 includes business management incentive fee expense of $25,569. The business management incentive fee for 2017 was paid in cash in January 2018.

(1) The calculations of NOI and Cash Basis NOI exclude certain components of net income in order to provide results that are more closely related to SIR’s property level results of operations. SIR calculates NOI and Cash Basis NOI as shown above. SIR defines NOI as income from its rental of real estate less its property operating expenses. NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions that SIR records as depreciation and amortization. SIR defines Cash Basis NOI as NOI excluding non-cash straight line rent adjustments, lease value amortization, lease termination fees, if any, and non-cash amortization included in other operating expenses. SIR considers NOI and Cash Basis NOI to be appropriate supplemental measures to net income because they may help both investors and management to understand the operations of SIR’s properties. SIR uses NOI and Cash Basis NOI to evaluate individual and company wide property level performance, and SIR believes that NOI and Cash Basis NOI provide useful information to investors regarding its results of operations because they reflect only those income and expense items that are generated and incurred at the property level and may facilitate comparisons of SIR’s operating performance between periods and with other REITs. NOI and Cash Basis NOI do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income, net income attributed to SIR or operating income as indicators of SIR’s operating performance or as measures of SIR’s liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income, net income attributed to SIR and operating income as presented in SIR’s consolidated statements of income. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate NOI and Cash Basis NOI differently than SIR does.
 
(2) SIR reports rental income on a straight line basis over the terms of the respective leases; accordingly, rental income includes non-cash straight line rent adjustments. Rental income also includes non-cash amortization of intangible lease assets and liabilities and lease termination fees, if any.
 
(3) SIR recorded a liability for the amount by which the estimated fair value for accounting purposes exceeded the price SIR paid for its investment in RMR common stock in June 2015. A portion of this liability is being amortized on a straight line basis through December 31, 2035 as a reduction to property management fees, which are included in other operating expenses.
 
(4) During the three months ended March 31, 2017, SIR recorded a $12,517 non-cash write-off of straight line rents receivable related to leases associated with a tenant bankruptcy at two properties located in Huntsville, AL and Hanover, PA and a $4,047 loss on asset impairment for unamortized lease intangibles related to a lease associated with this tenant bankruptcy at the property located in Hanover, PA.
