James C. Mastandrea, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased with our exceptional second quarter financial results which clearly demonstrate that our real estate investment strategy meets consumers' daily needs and creates value for our shareholders. Our differentiated strategy of owning Community Centered Properties™ in high population growth markets in states such as Arizona and Texas, which are business friendly, continues to gain traction in the retail segment of the industry. Our business model produced a 27.3% increase in total revenues, a 33.2% increase in property net operating income and a 20.7% increase in FFO Core per diluted share and OP unit during the period.

“Our small space tenants, which typically occupy under 3,000 square feet and are at the core of our Community Centered PropertyTM business model, continue to perform exceptionally well and, in turn, drive Whitestone’s stellar performance. We are leasing vacant space at properties we acquired at the bottom of the market, redeveloping and repositioning our legacy properties and developing out parcels adjacent to some of our most recent acquisitions. These activities, combined with our in-house property management, meet the demand for service based retail in the fast growing and economically strong markets of Austin, Dallas/Ft. Worth, San Antonio and Houston, Texas, as well as Phoenix, Scottsdale and Mesa, Arizona.”

Mr. Mastandrea concluded, “We are increasing our annual guidance for the year to reflect our continued confidence in our ability to drive further top-line and bottom-line growth, as well as our enterprise value. Our momentum continues to build from the time of our IPO five years ago by remaining steadfast to the execution of our key initiatives, which are to increase overall occupancy, diversify our tenant mix to better serve the surrounding communities and make value-add acquisitions in high growth markets. Since the second quarter ended, we closed on two additional Class-A properties in Austin, and currently have two additional properties, both with national grocery stores, under contract in Austin and Dallas, which we expect to close in the third quarter.”





Operating Results Summary

The Company's total occupancy increased to 86.4% during the second quarter, up 40 basis points from the end of the first quarter of 2015. During the second quarter, the leasing team signed 117 leases totaling 267,065 square feet in new, expansion and renewal leases. The average lease size was 2,283 square feet. Total lease value added was $16.0 million. This compares to 102 new and renewal leases totaling 220,513 square feet and approximately $14.8 million in total lease value during the same period in 2014. The growth over 2014 translates to a 14.7% increase in leases signed, a 21.1% increase in square feet leased and a 7.7% increase in lease value added.

Community Centered PropertiesTM Portfolio Statistics

At the end of the second quarter, the Company's diversified tenant base was comprised of 1,381 tenants, with the largest tenant accounting for only 2.1% of annualized base rental revenues.  Lease terms for our properties range from less than one year for smaller tenants to over 15 years for larger tenants.  The Company’s leases generally include minimum monthly lease payments and tenant reimbursements for payment of taxes, insurance and maintenance.

The 128,934 square foot property, which is located in Austin, Texas, was 85% leased at the time of purchase.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this press release constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Company intends for all such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, as applicable. Such information is subject to certain risks and uncertainties, as well as known and unknown risks, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated. Therefore, such statements are not intended to be a guarantee of our performance in future periods. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the Company's use of forward-looking terminology, such as "may," "will," "plan," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "believe," "continue" or similar words or phrases that are predictions of future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. Examples of such statements in this press release include, but are not limited to, the strength of the Company's leasing portfolio and lease renewal activities.





The following are some of the factors that could cause the Company's actual results and its expectations to differ materially from those described in the Company's forward-looking statements: the Company's ability to meet its assumptions regarding its earnings guidance, including its ability to execute effectively its acquisition and disposition strategy, to continue to execute its development pipeline on schedule and at the expected costs, and its ability to grow its NOI as expected, which could be impacted by a number of factors, including, among other things, its ability to continue to renew leases or re-let space on attractive terms and to otherwise address its leasing rollover; the Company's ability to successfully identify and consummate suitable acquisitions; current adverse market and economic conditions; lease terminations or lease defaults; the impact of competition on the Company's efforts to renew existing leases; changes in the economies and other conditions of the specific markets in which the Company operates; economic and regulatory changes; the success of the Company's real estate strategies and investment objectives; the Company's ability to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code; and other factors detailed in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other documents the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release. The Company cannot guarantee the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements contained in this press release, and the Company does not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains the supplemental financial measures that are not calculated pursuant to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") including FFO, FFO Core, and NOI. Following are explanations and reconciliations of these metrics to their most comparable GAAP metric.

FFO: Management believes that FFO is a useful measure of the Company's operating performance. The Company computes FFO as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, ("NAREIT"), which states that FFO should represent net income available to common shareholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses from sales of operating assets, impairment charges and extraordinary items, plus depreciation and amortization of operating properties, including the Company's share of unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships. FFO does not represent cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of the Company's performance or to cash flow from operations as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions and service debt.

Management considers FFO a useful additional measure of performance for an equity REIT because it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of its properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management believes that FFO provides a more meaningful and accurate indication of the Company's performance and useful information for the investment community to compare Whitestone to other REITs since FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs.

Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating FFO, and accordingly, the Company's FFO may not be comparable to other REITs. The Company presents FFO per diluted share calculations that are based on the outstanding dilutive common shares plus the outstanding OP units for the periods presented.

FFO Core: Management believes that the computation of FFO in accordance with NAREIT's definition includes certain non-cash and non-comparable items that affect the Company's period-over-period performance. These items include, but are not limited to, legal settlements, non-cash share-based compensation expense, rent support agreement payments received from sellers on acquired assets and acquisition costs. In addition, the Company believes that FFO Core is a useful supplemental measure for the investing community to use in comparing the Company to other REITs as many REITs provide some form of adjusted or modified FFO. However, other REITs may use different adjustments, and the Company's FFO Core may not be comparable to the adjusted or modified FFO of other REITs.





NOI: Management believes that NOI is a useful measure of the Company's property operating performance. The Company defines NOI as operating revenues (rental and other revenues) less property and related expenses (property operation and maintenance and real estate taxes). Because NOI excludes general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, involuntary conversion, interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes, gain or loss on sale or disposition of assets and capital expenditures and leasing costs, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating commercial real estate properties and the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. The Company uses NOI to evaluate its operating performance since NOI allows the Company to evaluate the impact of factors, such as occupancy levels, lease structure, lease rates and tenant base, have on the Company's results, margins and returns. In addition, management believes that NOI provides useful information to the investment community about the Company's property and operating performance when compared to other REITs since NOI is generally recognized as a standard measure of property performance in the real estate industry. However, NOI should not be viewed as a measure of the Company's overall financial performance since it does not reflect general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, involuntary conversion, interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes, gain or loss on sale or disposition of assets, and the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of the Company's properties. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, the Company's NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs.
