GREAT NECK, NY--(Marketwire - May 9, 2012) - One Liberty Properties, Inc. (
Patrick J. Callan, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of One Liberty, stated, "Our first quarter results represent year-over-year growth in rental income primarily driven by our success in capitalizing on investment opportunities in the past year. In the first quarter, we acquired four properties, continuing the pace of activity we achieved in 2011. Occupancy at the end of the quarter was at 97.6%. We continue to see a steady flow of compelling opportunities, using our network of relationships to further strengthen and grow our portfolio in the coming quarters."
Operating Results:
Revenues for the first quarter of 2012 increased 4.9% to $11.64 million compared to $11.1 million for the first quarter of 2011. The net increase is primarily attributable to the ten properties acquired beginning March 2011.
Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2012 increased 12.3% to $5.21 million from $4.64 million for the first quarter in the prior year. Approximately $184,000 of the increase is attributable to increased depreciation resulting from property acquisitions and approximately $290,000 is attributable to increased general and administrative expenses, including the quarterly impact of a $125,000 quarterly increase (effective as of January 1, 2011) in the amount payable pursuant to the compensation and services agreement which increase was not reflected in the first quarter of 2011.
Net income attributable to One Liberty in the first quarter of 2012 was $3.22 million or $0.21 per diluted share compared to $2.73 million or $0.21 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2011.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company reported Funds from Operations ("FFO") of $5.57 million, a 7.5% increase from the $5.18 million reported in the first quarter of 2011. FFO was $0.38 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2012 compared to $0.39 per diluted share in the corresponding period of the prior year. A reconciliation of GAAP amounts to non-GAAP amounts is presented with the financial information included later in this release.
The per share net income and FFO results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 take into account the issuance of 2.7 million shares in a public offering completed by the Company in February 2011, while the results for the corresponding period in the prior year only takes such shares into account for a portion of the first quarter of 2011.
Acquisitions:
During the first quarter of 2012, the Company acquired four properties for an aggregate of $9.8 million. The 2012 annual base rent of these properties is approximately $ 769,000.
Balance Sheet:
The Company, at March 31, 2012, had $17.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, total assets of $474.2 million, total debt of $240.4 million (including $27.1 million outstanding on its credit line) and total equity of $218.3 million.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
One Liberty believes that Funds from Operations ("FFO") is a widely recognized and appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT. One Liberty presents FFO because it considers FFO to be an important supplemental measure of its operating performance and is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of equity REITs. FFO is intended to exclude generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. As a result, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, interest costs and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation and amortization, providing perspective that may not necessarily be apparent from net income.
One Liberty has determined FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. ("NAREIT"). FFO is defined by NAREIT as net income (or loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, plus impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Management believes this is appropriate and relevant to securities analysts, investors and other interested parties and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures as reported by others.
