GREAT NECK, NY--(Marketwire - Nov 7, 2011) - One Liberty Properties, Inc. (
Patrick J. Callan, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of One Liberty, stated, "The increase in our rental income in the third quarter is primarily the result of the positive contribution from the 19 properties we acquired over the past 18 months. With a strong balance sheet, a willingness to prune our portfolio and capacity to add additional assets, we will continue to build our portfolio selectively and in a disciplined manner in the coming years in order to increase stockholder value. In furtherance of our strategy, we acquired, during the third quarter, four properties for approximately $20 million."
Operating Results:
Rental income for third quarter of 2011 increased 6.5% to $11.15 million compared to $10.47 million for the third quarter of 2010. The increase is attributable primarily to rental income earned from 19 properties acquired by the Company since February 2010.
Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2011 were $5.06 million compared to $4.40 million for the third quarter in the prior year. The increase is attributable to increased general and administrative expenses, real estate expenses and depreciation and amortization.
Income from continuing operations was $2.77 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to $2.39 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2010. The per share impact to 2011 results takes into account the issuance of 2.7 million shares in February 2011 and shares issued under the Company's dividend reinvestment program.
Asset Acquisitions:
During the third quarter, the Company bought four properties for approximately $19.88 million. The acquired properties were an L.A. Fitness Health Club, two hhgregg stores and a FedEx Express distribution center.
Subsequent Event:
In October 2011, a recently formed consolidated joint venture acquired a property located in Cherry Hill, NJ for $5.8 million. One Liberty expects to benefit from the opportunity to redevelop the entire property, which is comprised of approximately 115,500 square feet and is situated on approximately 12.4 acres. At closing, the venture entered into a ten year lease for approximately 70,500 square feet with Burlington Coat Factory which serves as an anchor tenant for the property.
Funds from Operations:
Funds from Operations ("FFO") was $5.29 million in the third quarter of 2011, or $0.36 diluted per share, compared to $4.89 million in the third quarter of 2010, or $0.42 per diluted share. The per diluted share impact to 2011 FFO takes into account the issuance of 2.7 million shares in February 2011 and shares issued under the Company's dividend reinvestment program. A reconciliation of GAAP amounts to non-GAAP amounts is presented with the financial information included later in this release.
Balance Sheet:
The Company at September 30, 2011 had $8.4 million of cash and cash equivalents, total assets of $451.9 million, total debt of $217.8 million and stockholders' equity of $218.7 million. At November 2, 2011, the Company had $26.5 million available under its revolving line of credit.
Dividend:
On October 5, 2011, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.33 per share to stockholders of record as of September 27, 2011. Based on the closing price of $15.85 per share on November 4, 2011, the current yield on an annualized basis is 8.3%.
Additional Information:
Interested parties are urged to review the Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 for further details. The Form 10-Q can also be linked through the "Investor Relations" section of One Liberty's website.

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 One Liberty's operating performance. One Liberty believes FFO is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. 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 and 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 operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Management believes FFO is of interest to securities analysts, investors and other interested parties and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures as reported by others.
