ROCKVILLE, Md., Nov. 2, 2016
ROCKVILLE, Md., Nov. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Federal Realty Investment Trust (NYSE: FRT) today reported operating results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2016. Highlights of the quarter and recent activity include:
"We continue to execute on our long term goal of positioning our portfolio for the changing consumer," said Donald C. Wood, President and Chief Executive Officer of Federal Realty. "The right balance of aggressive shopping center re-leasing and re-development, along with the development of new mixed use communities with a balance sheet constructed for the long term is at the heart of our decision making. Third quarter results reflect that balance."
Financial Results
Net income available for common shareholders was $58.8 million and earnings per diluted share was $0.82 for third quarter 2016 versus $52.3 million and $0.75, respectively, for third quarter 2015. Year-to-date Federal Realty reported net income available for common shareholders of $191.5 million and earnings per diluted share of $2.70. This compares to net income available for common shareholders of $141.9 million and earnings per diluted share of $2.05 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
In the third quarter 2016, Federal Realty generated funds from operations available for common shareholders (FFO) of $101.7 million, or $1.41 per diluted share. This compares to FFO of $95.2 million, or $1.36 per diluted share, in third quarter 2015. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, FFO was $301.4 million, or $4.21 per diluted share, compared to $256.4 million, or $3.68 per diluted share for the same nine month period in 2015. Excluding early extinguishment of debt charge in 2015, FFO per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $3.95.
FFO is a non-GAAP supplemental earnings measure which the Trust considers meaningful in measuring its operating performance. A reconciliation of FFO to net income is attached to this press release.
Portfolio Results
In third quarter 2016, same-center property operating income increased 1.5% over the prior year when including properties that are being redeveloped and 0.4% when excluding those properties. As anticipated, the impact of anchor vacancies, both proactively pursued and otherwise, weighed on the three month results and quarter end occupancy.
The overall portfolio was 94.3% leased as of September 30, 2016, compared to 95.5% on September 30, 2015. Federal Realty's same center portfolio was 95.5% leased on September 30, 2016, compared to 96.1% on September 30, 2015.
During third quarter 2016, Federal Realty signed 102 leases for 452,836 square feet of retail space. On a comparable space basis (i.e., spaces for which there was a former tenant), Federal Realty leased 427,021 square feet at an average cash basis contractual rent increase per square foot (i.e., excluding the impact of straight-line rents) of 14%. The average contractual rent on this comparable space for the first year of the new leases is $31.25 per square foot compared to the average contractual rent of $27.40 per square foot for the last year of the prior leases. The previous average contractual rent was calculated by including both the minimum rent and any percentage rent actually paid during the last year of the lease term for the re-leased space. On a GAAP basis (i.e., including the impact of straight-line rents), rent increases per square foot for comparable retail space averaged 27% for third quarter 2016.
Regular Quarterly Dividends
Federal Realty also announced today that its Board of Trustees declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.98 per share, resulting in an indicated annual rate of $3.92 per share. The regular common dividend will be payable on January 17, 2017 to common shareholders of record as of January 3, 2017.
