One Liberty Properties, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2014 Results

GREAT NECK, NY--(Marketwired - Aug 6, 2014) - One Liberty Properties, Inc. (NYSE: OLP), today announced operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Patrick J. Callan, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of One Liberty stated: "Our second quarter results highlight the progress we are making in growing the portfolio and executing on our strategy of deploying capital in an accretive manner. Our strategy is generating solid returns as evidenced by the per share growth of 14.6% in AFFO and 33.3% in FFO, which was favorably impacted by a 20.2% increase in rental income."

Operating Results:

Total revenues for the second quarter of 2014 increased 30.8%, to $15.67 million, from $11.98 million for the second quarter of 2013. The increase is attributable primarily to rental income earned from properties acquired since March 2013 and a $1.27 million non-recurring lease termination fee in the current quarter. Excluding the lease termination fee, revenues increased 20.2% to $14.40 million.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2014 were $7.01 million compared to $5.76 million for the second quarter in the prior year. The increase is due primarily to additional depreciation and real estate expenses associated with properties acquired since March 2013. 

Net income attributable to One Liberty for the second quarter of 2014 was $4.64 million, or $0.29 per diluted share. Excluding the lease termination fee, net income attributable to One Liberty for the second quarter of 2014 was $3.37 million or $0.21 per diluted share. For the second quarter of 2013, excluding an aggregate of $4.71 million of gains on sales, or $0.31 per diluted share, net income attributable to One Liberty was $3.03 million, or $0.19, per diluted share.

Funds from Operations:

Funds from Operations ("FFO") were $8.43 million (including $1.27 million of lease termination fee) in the second quarter of 2014 compared to $5.99 million in the second quarter of 2013. FFO per diluted share was $0.52 (including $0.08 per diluted share of lease termination fee) in the second quarter of 2014 compared to $0.39 in the second quarter of 2013. Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO"), which excludes the lease termination fee, was $7.57 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2014, a 14.6% per share increase from the corresponding period in the prior year. A reconciliation of GAAP amounts to non-GAAP amounts is presented with the financial information included later in this release.

Capital Allocation and Balance Sheet:

During the current quarter, the Company acquired four properties for $27.76 million. In 2014, the Company acquired six properties for $32.86 million. Each property purchased in 2014 is net leased by a single tenant.

The Company, at June 30, 2014, had $18.34 million of cash and cash equivalents, total assets of $598.22 million, total debt of $321.22 million and total equity of $251.20 million. At August 1, 2014, the Company had approximately $15.28 million of cash and cash equivalents. Approximately $36.85 million and $35.45 million had been borrowed under the Company's $75 million credit facility at June 30 and August 1, 2014, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

One Liberty computes FFO in accordance with the "White Paper on Funds From Operations" issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") and NAREIT's related guidance. FFO is defined in the White Paper as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepting accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, plus impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. Since the NAREIT White Paper only provides guidelines for computing FFO, the computation of FFO may vary from one REIT to another. One Liberty computes AFFO by deducting from FFO its straight-line rent accruals and amortization of lease intangibles, and lease termination fee income and adding back its amortization of restricted stock compensation and the amortization of costs in connection with its financing activities (including its share of its unconsolidated joint ventures).

One Liberty believes that FFO and AFFO are useful and standard supplemental measures of the operating performance for equity REITs and are used frequently by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating equity REITs, many of which present FFO and AFFO when reporting their operating results. FFO and AFFO are intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminish predictability over time. In fact, real estate values have historically risen and fallen with market conditions. As a result, management believes that FFO and AFFO provide a performance measure that when compared year over year, should reflect the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, interest costs and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation and amortization, providing a perspective that may not be necessarily apparent from net income. Management also considers FFO and AFFO to be useful in evaluating potential property acquisitions.

FFO and AFFO do not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP. FFO and AFFO should not be considered to be an alternative to net income as a reliable measure of our operating performance; nor should FFO and AFFO be considered an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities (as defined by GAAP) as measures of liquidity.

FFO and AFFO do not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of the Company's cash needs, including principal amortization, capital improvements and distributions to stockholders. FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP.

Management recognizes that there are limitations in the use of FFO and AFFO. In evaluating the Company's performance, management is careful to examine GAAP measures such as net income and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities. Management also prepares and reviews the reconciliation of net income to FFO and AFFO.
