NEW YORK, Aug. 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — RPT Realty (NYSE:RPT) (“RPT” or the “Company”) today announced its financial and operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

“Since 2019, we have continued to transform our portfolio by acquiring in markets like Boston, Atlanta, Miami, and Tampa and selling in markets like Chicago and Detroit, turning over more than 30% of the value of the company,” said Brian Harper, President and CEO. “We continued our transformation in July through the acquisition of Mary Brickell Village in Miami, a generational asset that offers stability, outsized growth and significant future densification opportunities in one of the most dynamic markets in the country. This asset is representative of the new RPT brand. Our measured and timely portfolio transformation continues to show up in our results as demonstrated by our fifth consecutive quarter of top and bottom-line growth. We also shored up the balance sheet for the next several years by obtaining $810 million of capital commitments from our banking partners.”

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Net income attributable to common shareholders for the second quarter 2022 of $5.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to $34.7 million, or $0.41 per diluted share for the same period in 2021. FFO for the second quarter 2022 of $22.0 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to $18.3 million, or $0.22 per diluted share for the same period in 2021.

Operating FFO for the second quarter 2022 of $25.3 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared to $17.9 million or $0.22 per diluted share for the same period in 2021. Operating FFO for the second quarter 2022 excludes certain net expenses that totaled $3.3 million, primarily attributable to transactions costs partially offset by non-cash accelerations of below market lease intangibles and gains on sale of land. The change in Operating FFO was primarily driven by higher income from net acquisition activity and higher same property NOI, partially offset by lower straight-line rent and higher general and administrative expense.

Same property NOI for the second quarter 2022 increased 4.4% compared to the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily driven by a decline in rental income not probable of collection, net of abatements and higher base rent.

OPERATING RESULTS

The Company’s operating results include its consolidated properties and its pro-rata share of unconsolidated joint venture properties for the aggregate portfolio.

During the second quarter 2022, the Company signed 71 leases totaling 292,845 square feet. Blended re-leasing spreads on comparable leases were 13.8% with ABR of $24.01 per square foot. Re-leasing spreads on eight comparable new and 42 renewal leases were 60.2% and 5.8%, respectively.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $8.8 million of signed not commenced rent and recovery income in addition to $1.5 million of rent and recovery income from leases that are in advanced negotiations.

The table below summarizes the Company’s leased rate and occupancy results at June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021.

BALANCE SHEET

The Company ended the second quarter 2022 with $24.6 million in consolidated cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and $238.0 million of unused capacity on its $350.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $964.5 million of consolidated debt and finance lease obligations. Including the Company’s pro-rata share of joint venture cash and debt of $3.4 million and $52.5, respectively, results in a second quarter 2022 net debt to annualized adjusted EBITDA ratio of 7.1x. Proforma for the $10.3 million signed not commenced rent and recovery income, including leases in advanced negotiation, the net debt to annualized adjusted EBITDA ratio is 6.6x. Total debt including RPT’s pro-rata share of joint venture debt had a weighted average interest rate of 3.51% and a weighted average maturity of 4.5 years.

FINANCING ACTIVITY

Subsequent to the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company received binding commitments for an $810 million amended and restated unsecured, SOFR-based, credit facility (the “Facility”), an increase of $150 million over the Company’s existing unsecured credit facility. The Facility consists of a $500 million unsecured revolving line of credit with an initial maturity in 2026 with two six-month extension options and $310 million of term loans with maturities in 2026 through 2028. The Facility will include an accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the total potential capacity up to $1.25 billion, subject to certain conditions. The Facility will also feature a sustainability-linked pricing component whereby the applicable interest rate margin can be reduced if the Company meets certain sustainability performance targets. The Company expects to close on the Facility in August 2022, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Following the closing of the Facility and the expected payoff of The Shops on Lane mortgage in the fourth quarter 2022, the Company will have no debt maturing through 2024 and will increase the weighted average maturity by approximately one year.

GROCERY ANCHORED INVESTMENT PLATFORM ACTIVITY

On July 7, 2022, the Company, through its grocery-anchored joint venture platform, acquired MBV for a contract price of $216.0 million or $111.2 million at the Company’s pro-rata share. MBV is a generational three-story, 200,000 square foot, grocery anchored, mixed-use center that sits on 5.2 acres in the heart of Miami’s booming Brickell neighborhood. Located at the epicenter of Miami’s premier retail and dining destination with over 6.7 million annual visitors, it has quickly become one of the most sought-after office, residential and hospitality markets in the U.S., creating the ultimate day to night lifestyle and entertainment oasis. The center is strategically positioned on both sides of bustling South Miami Avenue, just a few blocks from Biscayne Bay, in a dense infill and high traffic location that offers world-class entertainment, luxury residences, hospitality and a thriving shopping district. MBV is anchored by a top performing Publix supermarket and features a strong lineup of food and beverage, service and necessity tenants. Tenant sales average over $1,100 per square foot with low occupancy costs. The property is currently 78% occupied with 31,700 square feet of signed leases, representing almost 16% of occupancy upside, with attractive contractual rent growth providing visible near-term earnings upside. In addition, MBV provides for compelling value-creation opportunities as the site’s zoning allows for the potential to develop up to 80 stories or 4.1 million square feet which could consist of residential, office and hospitality. See the Company’s press release, RPT Realty Announces Acquisition of Mary Brickell Village in Miami, FL, dated August 3, 2022 for additional details.

The Company expects to contribute two wholly-owned properties into its grocery-anchored joint venture platform for $167.2 million. Upon such contribution, the Company will receive $81.1 million for the 48.5% stake in both properties that are being sold to the joint venture. The properties include The Shops on Lane Avenue in the Columbus market valued at $83.5 million and Troy Marketplace in the Detroit market valued at $83.7 million. Both contributions are expected to close in the fourth quarter 2022, subject to final documentation and customary closing conditions.

NET LEASE INVESTMENT PLATFORM ACTIVITY

During the second quarter 2022, the net lease joint venture platform closed on the previously-announced acquisitions of a Starbucks property in Ridgeland, Mississippi for $2.2 million, or $0.1 million at the Company’s pro-rata share and Ansonia Landing in New Haven, Connecticut for a contract price of $14.0 million, or $0.9 million at the Company’s pro-rata share.

During the second quarter 2022, the net lease joint venture platform also closed on the acquisition of a portfolio of Walgreens properties for $33.8 million, or $2.2 million at the Company’s pro-rata share.

In conjunction with the net lease joint venture platform acquisitions closed during the second quarter 2022, the Company invested $3.4 million in preferred equity directly with its RGMZ joint venture partners, Zimmer and Monarch, which will earn a fixed return of 7.0%.

WHOLLY-OWNED ACQUISITIONS

During the second quarter 2022, the Company closed on the previously-disclosed acquisitions of The Crossings for $104.0 million and Brookline Village for $5.0 million, each in the Boston market.

The Crossings is a 510,000 square foot open-air center that is 95.1% occupied and is dual anchored by a high performing Trader Joe’s and Aldi. Tenant sales productivity is amongst the highest in the portfolio, driven by high three-mile incomes of $114,000, strong vehicle traffic of 54,000 per day along Route 4, no state sales tax, consistent year-round tourism demand and a true trade area population of over 250,000.

Brookline Village is the first purchase in the Company’s first ring suburban street retail strategy that complements its existing Boston area presence. The 100.0% occupied asset is located on Harvard Street in Brookline, Massachusetts and consists of seven tenants covering 11,000 square feet, including a top performing Starbucks. The property is located in one of Boston’s most affluent and densely populated submarkets with 3-mile average household income of over $120,000 and 3-mile population density of about 450,000.

WHOLLY-OWNED DISPOSITIONS

Year-to-date through August 3, 2022, the Company sold, is under contract to sell or expects to contribute properties for a contract price of $277.7 million, or $190.9 million at the Company’s pro-rata share, including contributions to its grocery anchored and net lease platforms.

During the second quarter 2022, the Company closed on the sale of the Bealls and Winn-Dixie anchored Rivertowne Square shopping center in Deerfield Beach, Florida for $18.8 million. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter 2022, the Company reduced its exposure to the Detroit market through the sale of Tel-Twelve for $45.0 million. The Company is also under contract to sell Mount Prospect Plaza in the Chicago market for $34.6 million. The sale is expected to close in the third quarter 2022, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Following the sale, the Company will have one remaining property in the Chicago market.

DIVIDEND

As previously announced, the Board of Trustees declared a third quarter 2022 regular cash dividend of $0.13 per common share. The Board of Trustees also approved a third quarter 2022 Series D convertible preferred share dividend of $0.90625 per share. The current conversion ratio of the Series D convertible preferred shares can be found on the Company’s website at investors.rptrealty.com/shareholder-information/dividends. The dividends for the period July 1, 2022 through September 30, 2022 are payable on October 3, 2022 for shareholders of record on September 20, 2022.

2022 GUIDANCE

The Company is maintaining its 2022 operating FFO per diluted share guidance at $1.01 to $1.05 per diluted share. Selected expectations are outlined below:

Guidance item Prior 2022 Guidance Current 2022 Guidance YTD Actual as of
June 30, 2022

(2) YTD investment activity includes acquisitions and dispositions closed, under contract or expected to be contributed subsequent to the end of the second quarter 2022.

The Company does not provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP estimates on a forward-looking basis, including the information under “2022 Guidance” above, where it is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or 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 attributable to common stockholders per diluted share, which is the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure. This includes, for example, acquisition costs and other non-core items that have not yet occurred, are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

The Company’s 2022 guidance reflects management’s view of current and future market conditions, including current expectations with respect to rental rates, occupancy levels, acquisitions and dispositions and debt and equity financing activities. To the extent actual results differ from the Company’s current expectations, its results may differ materially from the guidance set forth above. Other factors, as referenced elsewhere in this press release, may also cause the Company’s results to differ materially from the guidance set forth above.

(1) Amounts noted are included in (Loss) earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures.
(2) The total noncontrolling interest reflects OP units convertible on a one-for-one basis into common shares. The Company’s net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 (largely driven by gain on sale of real estate), resulted in an income allocation to OP Units which drove an OP Unit ratio of $0.45 and $0.66, respectively (based on 1,900 and 1,905 weighted average OP Units outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively). In instances when the OP Unit ratio exceeds basic FFO, the OP Units are considered anti-dilutive, and as a result are not included in the calculation of fully diluted FFO and Operating FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
(3) 7.25% Series D Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest, $0.01 par (“Series D Preferred Shares”) are paid annual dividends of $6.7 million and are currently convertible into approximately 7.0 million shares of common stock. They are dilutive only when earnings or FFO exceed approximately $0.24 per diluted share per quarter and $0.96 per diluted share per year. The conversion ratio is subject to adjustment based upon a number of factors, and such adjustment could affect the dilutive impact of the Series D convertible preferred shares on FFO and earnings per share in future periods. In instances when the Preferred Share ratio exceeds basic FFO, the Preferred Shares are considered anti-dilutive, and as a result are not included in the calculation of fully diluted FFO and Operating FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
(4) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily comprised of fees paid by the Company associated with the early termination of an existing tenant which did not qualify for capitalization as an initial direct cost in accordance with ASC 842.
(5) Amounts noted are included in General and administrative expense.
(6) Amounts noted are included in Other income (expense), net.

Non-GAAP Financial Definitions

Certain of our key performance indicators are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses these measures along with our GAAP financial statements in order to evaluate our operations results. We believe these measures provide additional and useful means to assess our performance. These measures do not represent alternatives to GAAP measures as indicators of performance and a comparison of the Company’s presentations to similarly titled measures of other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in definition and application by such REITs.

Funds From Operations (FFO)
As defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), Funds From Operations (FFO) represents net income computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of operating real estate assets and impairment provisions on operating real estate assets or on investments in non-consolidated investees that are driven by measurable decreases in the fair value of operating real estate assets held by the investee, plus depreciation and amortization of depreciable real estate, (excluding amortization of financing costs). Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. We have adopted the NAREIT definition in our computation of FFO.

Operating FFO
In addition to FFO, we include Operating FFO as an additional measure of our financial and operating performance. Operating FFO excludes transactions costs and periodic items such as gains (or losses) from sales of non-operating real estate assets and impairment provisions on non-operating real estate assets, bargain purchase gains, severance expense, accelerated amortization of debt premiums, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, insured proceeds, net, accelerated write-offs of above and below market lease intangibles, accelerated write-offs of lease incentives and bond interest proceeds that are not adjusted under the current NAREIT definition of FFO. We provide a reconciliation of FFO to Operating FFO. In future periods, Operating FFO may also include other adjustments, which will be detailed in the reconciliation for such measure, that we believe will enhance comparability of Operating FFO from period to period. FFO and Operating FFO should not be considered alternatives to GAAP net income available to common shareholders or as alternatives to cash flow as measures of liquidity.

While we consider FFO available to common shareholders and Operating FFO available to common shareholders useful measures for reviewing our comparative operating and financial performance between periods or to compare our performance to different REITs, our computations of FFO and Operating FFO may differ from the computations utilized by other real estate companies, and therefore, may not be comparable. We recognize the limitations of FFO and Operating FFO when compared to GAAP net income available to common shareholders. FFO and Operating FFO available to common shareholders do not represent amounts available for needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. In addition, FFO and Operating FFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, including the payment of dividends.

Net Operating Income (NOI) / Same Property NOI / NOI from Other Investments
NOI consists of (i) rental income and other property income, before straight-line rental income, amortization of lease inducements, amortization of acquired above and below market lease intangibles and lease termination fees less (ii) real estate taxes and all recoverable and non-recoverable operating expenses other than straight-line ground rent expense, in each case, including our share of these items from our R2G Venture LLC and RGMZ Venture REIT LLC unconsolidated joint ventures.

NOI, Same Property NOI and NOI from Other Investments are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures of real estate companies’ operating performance. Same Property NOI is considered by management to be a relevant performance measure of our operations because it includes only the NOI of comparable operating properties for the reporting period. Same Property NOI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 represents NOI from the Company’s same property portfolio consisting of 39 consolidated operating properties and our 51.5% pro-rata share of four properties owned by our R2G Venture LLC unconsolidated joint venture and 100% of the 24 properties owned by our RGMZ Venture REIT LLC unconsolidated joint venture (excludes seven properties that are part of our Marketplace of Delray multi-tenant property where activities have started in preparation for redevelopment). All properties included in Same Property NOI were either acquired or placed in service and stabilized prior to January 1, 2021. We present Same Property NOI primarily to show the percentage change in our NOI from period to period across a consistent pool of properties. The properties contributed to RGMZ Venture REIT LLC had previously been parts of larger shopping centers that we own. Accordingly, 100.0% of the NOI from these properties is included in our results for periods on or prior to March 4, 2021 and, for these prior periods, we had not separately allocated expenses attributable to the larger shopping centers between these properties and the remainder of these shopping centers. As a result, in order to help ensure the comparability of our Same Property NOI for the periods presented, we are continuing to include 100.0% of the NOI from these properties in our Same Property NOI following their contribution even though our pro-rata share following March 4, 2021 is only 6.4%. Same Property NOI excludes properties under redevelopment or where activities have started in preparation for redevelopment. A property is designated as a redevelopment when planned improvements significantly impact the property. NOI from Other Investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 represents pro-rata NOI primarily from (i) properties disposed of and acquired during 2022 and 2021, (ii) Hunter’s Square, Marketplace of Delray and The Crossroads (R2G) where the Company has begun activities in anticipation of future redevelopment, (iii) properties held for sale as of June 30, 2022, (iv) certain property related employee compensation, benefits, and travel expense and (v) noncomparable operating income and expense adjustments. Non-RPT NOI from RGMZ Venture REIT LLC represents 93.6% of the properties contributed to RGMZ Venture REIT LLC after March 4, 2021, which is our partners’ share of RGMZ Venture REIT LLC.

RPT Realty
Non-GAAP Financial Definitions (continued)

NOI, Same Property NOI and NOI from Other Investments should not be considered as alternatives to net income in accordance with GAAP or as measures of liquidity. Our method of calculating these measures may differ from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

Net Debt
Net Debt represents (i) our total debt principal, which excludes unamortized premium and deferred financing costs, net, plus (ii) our finance lease obligation, plus (iii) our pro-rata share of total debt principal, which excludes unamortized discount and deferred financing costs, net, of each of our unconsolidated entities, less (iv) our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, less (v) our pro-rata share of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of each of our unconsolidated entities. We present net debt to show the ratio of our net debt to our proforma Adjusted EBITDA.

EBITDAre/Adjusted EBITDA
NAREIT defines EBITDAre as net income computed in accordance with GAAP, plus interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization and impairment of depreciable real estate and in substance real estate equity investments; plus or minus gains or losses from sales of operating real estate assets and interests in real estate equity investments; and adjustments to reflect our share of unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships for these items. The Company calculates EBITDAre in a manner consistent with the NAREIT definition. The Company also presents Adjusted EBITDA which is EBITDAre net of other items that we believe enhance comparability of Adjusted EBITDA across periods and are listed as adjustments in the applicable reconciliation. EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative measure of operating results or cash flow from operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Pro-Rata
We present certain financial information on a “pro-rata” basis or including “pro-rata” adjustments. Unless otherwise specified, pro-rata financial information includes our proportionate economic ownership of each of our unconsolidated joint ventures derived on an entity-by-entity basis by applying the ownership percentage interest used to arrive at our share of the net operations for the period consistent with the application of the equity method of accounting to each of our unconsolidated joint ventures. See page 33 of our quarterly financial and operating supplement for a discussion of important considerations and limitations that you should be aware of when reviewing financial information that we present on a pro-rata basis or include pro-rata adjustments.

Occupancy
Occupancy is defined, for a property or group of properties, as the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of (a) the number of square feet of such property economically occupied by tenants under leases with an initial term of greater than one year, to (b) the aggregate number of square feet for such property.

Leased Rate
Lease Rate is defined, for a property or group of properties, as the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of (a) the number of square feet of such property under leases with an initial term of greater than one year, including signed leases not yet commenced, to (b) the aggregate number of square feet for such property.

Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA)
Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) information is sourced from the United States Census Bureau and rank is determined based on the most recently available population estimates.
