Rexford Industrial Announces Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results

The Company reported Company share of Core FFO of $40.1 million, or $0.65 per diluted share of common stock, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to Company share of Core FFO of $32.4 million, or $0.60 per diluted share of common stock, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.  Adjusting for non-core expenses ($0.8 million reported during the first nine months of 2016 and $2.0 million during the first nine months of 2015), Company share of FFO was $39.3 million, or $0.64 per diluted share of common stock, as compared to Company share of FFO of $30.5 million, or $0.57 per diluted share of common stock, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company's Same Property Portfolio NOI increased 8.2% compared to the third quarter of 2015, driven by an 8.4% increase in Same Property Portfolio total rental revenue, and an 8.9% increase in Same Property Portfolio expenses. Same Property Portfolio Cash NOI increased 6.8% compared to the third quarter 2015.

Operating Results:

In the third quarter of 2016, the Company signed 134 new and renewal leases in its consolidated portfolio, totaling 837,391 rentable square feet. Average rental rates on comparable new and renewal leases were up 15.6% on a GAAP basis and up 7.0% on a cash basis. The Company signed 59 new leases for 519,212 rentable square feet, with GAAP rents up 17.6% compared to the prior in-place leases. The Company signed 75 renewal leases for 318,179 rentable square feet, with GAAP rents up 14.4% compared to the prior in-place leases. For the 59 new leases, cash rents were up 10.7%, and for the 75 renewal leases, cash rents were up 4.9%, compared to the ending cash rents for the prior leases.

The Company has included in a supplemental information package the detailed results and operating statistics that reflect the activities of the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2016. See below for information regarding the supplemental information package.

Transaction Activity:

In the third quarter 2016, the Company acquired three industrial properties, for an aggregate purchase price of $80.8 million, as detailed below.

In July 2016, the Company acquired the remaining 85% joint venture interest in 3233 Mission Oaks Boulevard, a two-building industrial property containing 457,693 square feet in the Ventura County submarket for $21.8 million, based on 85% of the total purchase price of $25.7 million, or approximately $56 per square foot. 

In August 2016, the Company acquired 1600 Orangethorpe, a five-building industrial complex containing 345,756 square feet in the Orange County North submarket for $40.1 million, or approximately $116 per square foot. 

In September 2016, the Company acquired 14742-14750 E. Nelson Avenue, a two-building industrial property containing 145,531 square feet, with excess land available for development, in the San Gabriel Valley submarket for $15.0 million, or approximately $103 per square foot.

Balance Sheet:

In August 2016, the Company issued 3.6 million shares of its 5.875% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at $25.00 per share, for net proceeds of approximately $86.7 million after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses.

At September 30, 2016, the Company had $503 million of outstanding debt, with an average interest rate of 3.087% and an average term-to-maturity of 5.6 years.  At September 30, 2016, $160 million of the Company's floating-rate debt has been effectively fixed at 3.461% through the use of interest rate swaps.  As a result of interest rate swaps and the issuance of $100 million of fixed-rate notes last year, approximately $278 million, or 55%, of the Company's outstanding debt was fixed-rate with an average interest rate of 3.86% and an average term-to-maturity of 5.0 years.  The remaining $225 million, or 45%, of the Company's outstanding debt was floating-rate, with an average interest rate of LIBOR + 1.60% and an average term-to-maturity of 6.3 years.  If the forward-starting portions of the two interest rate swaps noted above were effective as of September 30, 2016, then 100% of the Company's debt would be effectively fixed.

Guidance

The Company is increasing its full year 2016 guidance range for Company share of Core FFO to a range of $0.87 to $0.89 per diluted share of common stock. This Core FFO guidance refers only to the Company's in-place portfolio as of November 2, 2016, and does not include any assumptions for acquisitions, dispositions or balance sheet activities that may or may not occur later during the year. Increased full year guidance assumes the following: year-end Same Property Portfolio occupancy within a range of 94% to 95%, Same Property Portfolio NOI growth for the year of 7% to 8% and general & administrative expenses of $17.5 to $17.8 million.

The Company does not provide a reconciliation for its guidance range of Core FFO per diluted share to net income attributable to common stockholders per diluted share, the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure, because it is impractical to provide a meaningful or accurate estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and/or amount of various items that would impact net income available to common stockholders per diluted share, including, for example, acquisition costs, gains on sales of depreciable real estate and other items that have not yet occurred and are out of the Company's control. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information and believes that providing a reconciliation for its guidance range of Core FFO per diluted share would imply a degree of precision as to its forward-looking net income available to common stockholders per diluted share that would be confusing or misleading to investors.

Dividend:

On November 1, 2016, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.135 per share for the fourth quarter of 2016, payable in cash on January 17, 2017, to common stockholders and common unit holders of record as of December 30, 2016. On November 1, 2016, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.55078 per share payable to its Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred stockholders, payable in cash on December 30, 2016, to stockholders of record as of December 15, 2016.

Definitions / Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

Funds from Operations (FFO): We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, impairment losses, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, other than temporary impairments of unconsolidated real estate entities, and impairment on our investment in real estate, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of performance used by other REITs, FFO may be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other equity REITs may not calculate or interpret FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition as we do, and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs' FFO. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.   FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance. A reconciliation of net income, the nearest GAAP equivalent, to FFO is set forth below.

Core Funds from Operations (Core FFO): We calculate Core FFO by adjusting FFO to exclude the impact of certain items that we do not consider reflective of our core revenue or expense streams.  These adjustments consist of acquisition expenses and legal expenses or reimbursements related to prior litigation.  For more information on prior litigation, see Item 3. Legal Proceedings in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Management believes that Core FFO is a useful supplemental measure as it provides a more meaningful and consistent comparison of operating performance and allows investors to more easily compare the Company's operating results.  Because certain of these adjustments have a real economic impact on our financial condition and results from operations, the utility of Core FFO as a measure of our performance is limited.  Other REITs may not calculate Core FFO in a consistent manner.  Accordingly, our Core FFO may not be comparable to other REITs' Core FFO. Core FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance.  A reconciliation of FFO to Core FFO is set forth below.

Net Operating Income (NOI): NOI is a non-GAAP measure, which includes the revenue and expense directly attributable to our real estate properties. NOI is calculated as total revenue from real estate operations including i) rental revenues, ii) tenant reimbursements and iii) other income less property expenses (before interest expense, depreciation and amortization). We use NOI as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate depreciation and amortization expense and gains (or losses) from property dispositions, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that NOI will be useful to investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because NOI excludes depreciation and amortization expense and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties (all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations), the utility of NOI as a measure of our performance is limited. Other equity REITs may not calculate NOI in a similar manner and, accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to such other REITs' NOI. Accordingly, NOI should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. NOI should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs.

NOI should not be used as a substitute for cash flow from operating activities in accordance with GAAP. We use NOI to help evaluate the performance of the Company as a whole, as well as the performance of our Same Property Portfolio. A calculation of NOI for our Same Property Portfolio, as well as a reconciliation of NOI for our Same Property Portfolio to net income, is set forth below.

Cash NOI: Cash NOI is a non-GAAP measure, which we calculate by adding or subtracting from NOI i) fair value lease revenue and ii) straight-line rent adjustments. We use Cash NOI, together with NOI, as a supplemental performance measure. Cash NOI should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs. Cash NOI should not be used as a substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP. We use Cash NOI to help evaluate the performance of the Company as a whole, as well as the performance of our Same Property Portfolio. A calculation of Cash NOI for our Same Property Portfolio, as well as a reconciliation of Cash NOI for our Same Property Portfolio to net income, is set forth below.

Same Property Portfolio: Our Same Property Portfolio is a subset of our consolidated portfolio and includes properties that were wholly-owned by us as of January 1, 2015, and still owned by us as of September 30, 2016. Therefore, we excluded from our Same Properties Portfolio any properties that were acquired or sold during the period from January 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016. The Company's computation of same property performance may not be comparable to other REITs.

Stabilized Same Property Portfolio: Our Stabilized Same Property Portfolio represents the properties included in our Same Property Portfolio, adjusted to exclude space at properties that were in various stages of repositioning (defined below) or lease-up.  As of September 30, 2016, space aggregating 262,625 rentable square feet at five of our Same Property Portfolio properties were in various stages of repositioning or lease-up.

Properties and Space Under Repositioning: Typically defined as properties or units where a significant amount of space is held vacant in order to implement capital improvements that improve the functionality (not including basic refurbishments, i.e. paint and carpet), cash flow and value of that space.  We define a significant amount of space in a building as the lower of (i) 20,000 square feet of space or (ii) 50% of a building's square footage.  Typically, we would include properties or space where the repositioning and lease-up time frame is estimated to be greater than six months.  A repositioning is considered complete once the investment is fully or nearly fully deployed and the property is marketable for leasing.  We consider a property to be stabilized once it reaches 95% occupancy.
