EX-99.1 2 c07233exv99w1.txt PRESS RELEASE EXHIBIT 99.1 RELEASE: IMMEDIATE GETTY REALTY CORP. ANNOUNCES FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006 JERICHO, NY, AUGUST 1, 2006 --- Getty Realty Corp. (NYSE-GTY) today reported its financial results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006. Net earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 increased by $0.9 million, or 9.0%, to $11.1 million as compared to $10.2 million reported for the prior year period. Net earnings were $21.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $21.7 million reported for the prior year period. The increase in net earnings for the quarter resulted from additional rental income from the properties acquired in February 2006 and rent escalations, lower operating expenses and higher other income from gains on dispositions of real estate, partially offset by higher interest expense. Net earnings for the six months reflect additional rental income from the properties acquired in February 2006 and March 2005, rent escalations and higher other income from gains on dispositions of real estate, offset by higher environmental and interest expenses resulting in a slight decrease in net earnings as compared to the prior year period. FFO increased by $0.4 million, or 3.3%, to $12.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 and AFFO increased by $0.6 million, or 5.5%, to $11.9 million as compared to the prior year period. FFO decreased by $0.5 million, or 1.9%, to $25.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and AFFO decreased by $0.2 million, or 1.0% to $23.5 million as compared to the prior year period. The increase in FFO and AFFO for the quarter and the decrease in FFO and AFFO for the six month period were primarily due to the changes in net earnings described above but exclude the improvement in earnings due to higher gains on dispositions of properties of $0.4 million for both the quarter and the six month periods. AFFO increased more than FFO for the quarter and decreased less than FFO for the six month period, on both a dollar and percentage basis, due to decreases in deferred rental revenues (which are included in net earnings and FFO but are excluded from AFFO) of $0.2 million for the quarter and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the prior year periods. FFO and AFFO are supplemental non-GAAP measures of the performance of real estate investment trusts and are defined and reconciled to net earnings in the financial tables at the end of this release. Diluted earnings per share increased by $0.04 per share, or 9.8%, to $0.45 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005. Diluted FFO per share increased by $0.01 per share, or 2.0%, to $0.51 per share as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005. Diluted AFFO per share increased by $0.02 per share, or 4.3%, to $0.48 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005. Diluted earnings per share decreased by $0.01 per share, or 1.0%, to $0.87 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. Diluted FFO per share decreased $0.03 per share or, 2.9% to $1.01 per share as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005 and diluted AFFO per share for the six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased $0.01 per share, or 1.0% to $0.95 per share as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. Revenues from rental properties increased by $0.3 million to $18.2 million for the quarter and by $1.0 million to $36.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to $17.9 million and $35.3 million for the respective prior year periods. Rent received was $17.4 million for the quarter and $34.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared with $16.9 million for the quarter and $33.4 million for the six months period ended in 2005. The increases in rent received were primarily due to rental income from property acquisitions and rent escalations. In addition to rent received, revenues from rental properties include deferred rental revenues accrued due to recognition of rental income on a straight-line basis of $0.8 million for the quarter and $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to $1.0 million and $1.9 million for the respective prior year periods. Environmental expenses, net for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 decreased by $0.5 million to $0.8 million as compared to $1.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. The decrease was primarily due to a $0.7 million decrease in the change in estimated environmental costs. Environmental expenses, net for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased by $0.5 million to $1.9 million as compared to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase was primarily due to a $0.9 million increase in legal fees and litigation related expenses, offset by a $0.5 million decrease in the change in estimated environmental costs. Interest expense increased by $0.5 million to $0.9 million for the quarter and by $1.0 million to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $0.5 million and $0.6 million for the respective prior year periods. Interest expense increased primarily due to borrowings used to finance the acquisition of properties. Interest expense also increased due to increased interest rates that averaged 6.13% for the six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to 4.14% for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Getty Realty Corp. entered into a five year interest rate swap which effectively fixed the interest rate on $45.0 million of its borrowings at 6.69% effective May 1, 2006.

IN ADDITION TO MEASUREMENTS DEFINED BY GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES ("GAAP"), GETTY ALSO FOCUSES ON FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS ("FFO") AND ADJUSTED FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS ("AFFO") TO MEASURE ITS PERFORMANCE. FFO IS GENERALLY CONSIDERED TO BE AN APPROPRIATE SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP MEASURE OF THE PERFORMANCE OF REITS. FFO IS DEFINED BY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS AS NET EARNINGS BEFORE DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION OF REAL ESTATE ASSETS, GAINS OR LOSSES ON DISPOSITIONS OF REAL ESTATE, NON-FFO ITEMS REPORTED IN DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS. OTHER REITS MAY USE DEFINITIONS OF FFO AND/OR AFFO THAT ARE DIFFERENT THAN GETTY'S AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE COMPARABLE. GETTY BELIEVES THAT FFO IS HELPFUL TO INVESTORS IN MEASURING ITS PERFORMANCE BECAUSE FFO EXCLUDES VARIOUS ITEMS INCLUDED IN GAAP NET EARNINGS THAT DO NOT RELATE TO, OR ARE NOT INDICATIVE OF, GETTY'S FUNDAMENTAL OPERATING PERFORMANCE SUCH AS GAINS OR LOSSES FROM PROPERTY DISPOSITIONS AND DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION OF REAL ESTATE ASSETS. IN GETTY'S CASE, HOWEVER, GAAP NET EARNINGS AND FFO INCLUDE THE SIGNIFICANT IMPACT OF DEFERRED RENTAL REVENUE (STRAIGHT-LINE RENTAL REVENUE) ON ITS RECOGNITION OF REVENUES FROM RENTAL PROPERTIES, WHICH PRIMARILY RESULTS FROM FIXED RENTAL INCREASES SCHEDULED UNDER CERTAIN LEASES WITH ITS TENANTS. IN ACCORDANCE WITH GAAP, THE AGGREGATE MINIMUM RENT DUE OVER THE INITIAL TERM OF THESE LEASES IS RECOGNIZED ON A STRAIGHT-LINE BASIS RATHER THAN WHEN DUE. GAAP NET EARNINGS AND FFO MAY ALSO INCLUDE AN INCOME TAX PROVISION OR BENEFIT RECOGNIZED DUE TO ADJUSTMENTS IN AMOUNTS ACCRUED FOR UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS RELATED TO BEING TAXED AS A C-CORP., RATHER THAN AS A REIT, PRIOR TO 2001. AS A RESULT, GETTY PAYS PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO AFFO, A SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP PERFORMANCE MEASURE THAT GETTY DEFINES AS FFO LESS STRAIGHT-LINE RENTAL REVENUE AND INCOME TAXES. INCOME TAXES DID NOT HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON GETTY'S EARNINGS FOR THE PERIODS PRESENTED, AND ACCORDINGLY, DO NOT APPEAR AS A SEPARATE ITEM IN ITS STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS OR RECONCILIATION OF AFFO FROM NET EARNINGS. IN GETTY'S VIEW, AFFO PROVIDES A MORE ACCURATE DEPICTION THAN FFO OF THE IMPACT OF SCHEDULED RENT INCREASES UNDER THESE LEASES AND GETTY'S ELECTION TO BE TAXED AS A REIT BEGINNING IN 2001. NEITHER FFO NOR AFFO REPRESENT CASH GENERATED FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES CALCULATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GAAP AND THEREFORE THESE MEASURES SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AN ALTERNATIVE FOR GAAP NET EARNINGS OR AS A MEASURE OF LIQUIDITY.
