NEW YORK October 27, 2005 – iStar Financial Inc. (NYSE: SFI), the leading publicly traded finance company focused on the commercial real estate industry, today reported third quarter results for the quarter ended September 30, 2005.

 

iStar reported adjusted earnings for the third quarter 2005 of $0.98 per diluted common share, up from $0.87 per diluted common share for the third quarter 2004. Adjusted earnings allocable to common shareholders for the third quarter 2005 were $112.2 million on a diluted basis, compared to $97.5 million for the third quarter 2004. Adjusted earnings represents net income computed in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for preferred dividends, depreciation, depletion, amortization and gain (loss) from discontinued operations.

 

Net income allocable to common shareholders for the third quarter 2005 was $46.8 million, or $0.41 per diluted common share, compared with $73.3 million, or $0.65 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2004. Third quarter 2005 net income includes a $37.5 million non-cash charge for prepayment of its STARs asset-backed notes. Please see the financial tables that follow the text of this press release for a detailed reconciliation of adjusted earnings to GAAP net income.

 



Third Quarter 2005 Results

 

Net investment income for the quarter was $48.2 million, compared to $97.7 million for the third quarter of 2004. Net investment income represents interest income, operating lease income and equity in earnings from joint ventures, less interest expense, operating costs for corporate tenant lease assets and loss on early extinguishment of debt, in each case as computed in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, this measure was also impacted by a $44.3 million total charge for the prepayment of the STARs asset-backed notes.

 

iStar Financial announced that during the third quarter, it closed 22 new financing commitments for a total of $819.1 million, of which $435.8 million was funded during the quarter. In addition, the Company funded $103.9 million under pre-existing commitments and received $730.0 million in principal repayments. Cumulative repeat customer business totaled $8.4 billion at September 30, 2005.

 

For the quarter ended September 30, 2005, iStar Financial generated returns on average book assets and average common book equity of 6.2% and 22.6%, respectively. These returns were favorably impacted by substantial fees associated with the prepayment of several of the Company’s loans, resulting in Other Income of $43.7 million for the quarter. For the quarter, the Company’s debt to book equity plus accumulated depreciation and loan loss reserves, as determined in accordance with GAAP, was 1.8x.

 

As of September 30, 2005, the Company’s loan portfolio consisted of 63% floating rate and 37% fixed rate loans. The weighted average GAAP LIBOR margin of floating rate loans was 5.1%. The weighted average GAAP margin of the Company’s fixed rate loans was 7.1% on a term-adjusted basis.

 

Jay Sugarman, iStar Financial’s chairman and chief executive officer, stated, “iStar’s multi-discipline franchise, tested in several competitive economic cycles, continues to produce attractive financing opportunities in our targeted market, despite continuing high levels of liquidity in commercial real estate. In the third quarter, new financing activity was over $800 million from 22 separate transactions, bringing our nine-month originations to just over $3.0 billion, surpassing our full-year 2004 origination total.”

 

Mr. Sugarman continued, “While originations were strong, our repayment activity remained high during the quarter as borrowers continue to receive extremely attractive prices for their assets, more than compensating them for the material prepayment penalties associated with many of our loans.”

 

Mr. Sugarman concluded, “We will remain disciplined in investing our capital and continue to avoid areas where increased liquidity is resulting in commodity-like returns. Our increased origination volumes and number of completed investment transactions for the first three quarters this year demonstrates the depth and strength of our franchise. We continue to gain new customers and complete more transactions with repeat customers who value the expertise and one-call responsiveness on which we have built our reputation.”

Capital Markets Summary

 

During the third quarter, iStar Financial added four new participants to its unsecured credit facility and increased total capacity by $250 million to $1.5 billion. The facility now has 32 participants from leading financial institutions. The Company also allowed $850 million of secured credit facility capacity to expire during the quarter.

 

In August, the Company repaid a $76 million secured financing, and in September, the Company redeemed $621 million of outstanding asset-backed notes under its STARs on-balance sheet match funding program. Subsequent to quarter end, iStar Financial also repaid a $135 million secured financing in advance of its 2008 maturity date. These secured debt repayments unencumbered over $1.6 billion of assets. Pro forma for the October repayment, secured debt as a percentage of total debt represented just 8.3% of the Company’s total debt at September 30, 2005. Unencumbered assets at quarter end represented 94.2% of total assets, also on a pro forma basis.

 

Catherine D. Rice, iStar Financial’s chief financial officer, stated, “During the third quarter, we completed our goals of substantially unencumbering our asset base, decreasing secured debt, and increasing unsecured credit capacity to replace expiring secured credit facilities. This year, we upsized our unsecured credit facility by $250 million and we are comfortable that the Company has ample short-term capital available to fund our business. With these substantial secured debt repayments, we have completed the transition of the right side of the balance sheet to a profile that is consistent with an investment grade finance company.”

 

In September, the Company, through a 100% owned trust, issued $100 million of trust preferred securities having a 30-year term and bearing interest at a rate of LIBOR+1.50%. These securities are callable at par by the Company after five years, and are subordinate unsecured indebtedness of the Company.

 

As of September 30, 2005, the Company had $941.3 million outstanding under $2.2 billion in credit facilities. Consistent with its match funding policy under which a one percentage point change in interest rates cannot impact adjusted earnings by more than 2.5%, as of September 30, 2005, a 100 basis point increase in rates would have decreased the Company’s earnings by 0.03%.

 

Consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation FD and Regulation G, iStar Financial comments on earnings expectations within the context of its regular earnings press releases. The Company currently expects diluted adjusted earnings per share for the fiscal year 2005 of $3.30-$3.40, respectively, and diluted earnings per share for the fiscal year 2005 of $2.05-$2.15, respectively. The Company’s fiscal year 2005 GAAP earnings expectations include the effect of the prepayment of the Company’s STARs asset-backed notes program.

 

For fiscal year 2006, the Company expects diluted adjusted earnings per share of $3.35-$3.50 and diluted earnings per share of $2.35-$2.50, based on expected net asset growth of approximately $1.5 billion.

 

Ms. Rice commented, “Our earnings guidance assumes that velocity within the commercial real estate sector will remain high through 2006. We will continue to maintain our investment discipline, a hallmark of the Company, even when this results in slower overall growth.

Prepayment activity is forecasted to remain high, with most prepayments resulting from borrowers selling our collateral at values often far exceeding our valuation at the time of underwriting the investment. When prepayments are high, we tend to generate higher Other Income from prepayment penalties, but net asset growth is slower.”

 

Ms. Rice continued, “Our view continues to be that rising interest rates will benefit the Company by rewarding market share to capital providers with strong balance sheets and sophisticated underwriting skills. Further, because we are match funded, rising interest rates and changes in the shape of the yield curve have minimal impact on our earnings.”

 

Risk Management

 

At September 30, 2005, first mortgages, participations in first mortgages, corporate tenant leases and corporate financing transactions collectively comprised 92.9% of the Company’s asset base. The weighted average first and last dollar loan-to-value ratio for all structured finance assets was 19.2% and 65.7%, respectively. As of September 30, 2005 the weighted average debt service coverage for all structured finance assets, based on either actual cash flow or trailing 12-month cash flow through June 30, 2005, was 2.2x.

 

At quarter end, the Company’s corporate tenant lease assets were 95.2% leased with a weighted average remaining lease term of 11.4 years. At quarter end, 79.3% of the Company’s corporate lease customers were public companies (or subsidiaries of public companies).

 

At September 30, 2005, the weighted average risk ratings of the Company’s structured finance assets was 2.60 for risk of principal loss, compared to last quarter’s rating of 2.52, and 3.02 for performance compared to original underwriting, compared to last quarter’s rating of 3.10. The weighted average risk rating for corporate tenant lease assets was 2.36 at the end of the third quarter, unchanged from the prior quarter’s rating of 2.36.

 

At quarter end, accumulated loan loss reserves and other asset-specific credit protection represented an aggregate of approximately 5.6% of the gross book value of the Company’s loans. In addition, cash deposits, letters of credit, allowances for doubtful accounts and accumulated depreciation relating to corporate tenant lease assets represented 11.5% of the gross book value of the Company’s corporate tenant lease assets at quarter end.

 

At September 30, 2005, the Company’s non-performing loan assets (NPLs) represented 0.9% of total assets. NPLs represent loans on non-accrual status and repossessed real estate collateral. At September 30, 2005, the Company had two loans on non-accrual and no repossessed assets. In addition, watch list assets represented 0.1% of total assets at September 30, 2005.

 

Tim O’Connor, iStar Financial’s chief operating officer, stated, “The overall credit quality of our diverse asset base remained strong during the third quarter. We saw no significant changes in our overall loan portfolio or in the credit statistics in our corporate tenant lease assets. Further, we saw a reduction in the carrying value of our NPLs this quarter and no new NPLs were added to the list. We continue to believe that the collateral value underlying the two NPLs fully supports our basis in the loans.”

(1)   Adjusted earnings should be examined in conjunction with net income as shown in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Adjusted earnings should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s performance, or to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, nor is this measure indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs or available for distribution to shareholders.  Rather, adjusted earnings is an additional measure the Company uses to analyze how its business is performing.

Neither Adjusted EBITDA nor EBITDA should be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s performance, or to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, nor are these measures indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs or available for distribution to shareholders.
