Whitestone Overview
Whitestone acquires, owns, manages, develops and redevelops high quality “internet-resistant” neighborhood, community and lifestyle retail centers principally located in the largest, fastest-growing and most affluent markets in the Sunbelt. Whitestone’s optimal mix of national, regional and local tenants provide daily necessities, needed services and entertainment to the community which are not readily available online.

CEO Comments
“We are proud to deliver another quarter of profitable growth, driven by our innovative, sustainable and scalable business model,” stated Jim Mastandrea, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our model focuses on acquiring, developing and redeveloping go-to retail centers that provide daily necessities, needed services and entertainment which are not readily available online. By following this ‘internet-resistant’ strategy, we believe we are largely shielded from the threat of rising e-commerce sales.”

Mr. Mastandrea concluded, “The core of our business model is driving profitability and value. The successful execution of our model is best demonstrated by looking at our sustained results over the long-term, evidenced by the second quarter being our 23rd consecutive quarter of revenue and NOI growth, and our 24th consecutive quarter of FFO Core growth, on a year-over-year basis. Our pipeline of new acquisitions and leases remains active, and additional selective development and redevelopment of existing properties is ongoing, which gives us confidence that we will continue to drive profitable growth and shareholder value.”

Real Estate Portfolio Update

Leasing Activity:
During the second quarter, the leasing team signed 101 leases totaling 308,980 square feet in new, expansion and renewal leases, compared to 117 leases totaling 267,065 square feet in the second quarter of 2015. The total lease value added during the quarter was $24.7 million compared to $16.0 million during the same period last year.

The Company's total and retail properties occupancy stood at 87.2% and 89.6%, respectively, at quarter end.

Community Centered PropertiesTM Portfolio Statistics:
As of June 30, 2016, Whitestone owned 69 Community Centered PropertiesTM with 5.9 million square feet of gross leasable area producing annual NOI of approximately $70.0 million. The portfolio is comprised of 43 properties in Texas, 25 in Arizona and one in Illinois. In Texas and Arizona, Whitestone’s Community Centered PropertiesTM are located in Austin (4), San Antonio (3), Dallas-Fort Worth (7), Houston (29) and Phoenix (25). In addition to being business friendly, these are five of the top markets in the country in terms of size, economic strength and population growth. Between 2000 and 2014, all of these cities experienced double-digit growth in population, with Austin at +35.8%, San Antonio at +23.4%, Dallas-Fort Worth at +20.5%, Phoenix at +15.8% and Houston at +13.2%. The Company’s properties in these markets are located on the best retail corners embedded in affluent communities.

With its consumer-centric discipline, the Company strives for a tenant mix of “internet-resistant” national, regional and local tenants at each of its properties that meet the daily needs of the residents living in the surrounding neighborhoods. At the end of the second quarter, the Company's diversified tenant base was comprised of 1,478 tenants, with the largest tenant accounting for only 3.2% of annualized base rental revenues.  Lease terms range from less than one year for smaller tenants to over 15 years for larger tenants.  The leases generally include minimum monthly lease payments and tenant reimbursements for payment of taxes, insurance and maintenance, and typically exclude restrictive lease clauses.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Balance Sheet:
Reflecting the Company’s selective development and redevelopment activity during the quarter, offset somewhat by the sale of a non-core asset in the first quarter, at June 30, 2016, the Company had undepreciated real estate assets of $844.8 million compared to $835.5 million at December 31, 2015.

Liquidity, Debt and Credit Facility:
At June 30, 2016, 49 of the Company’s 69 properties were unencumbered by mortgage debt, with an undepreciated cost basis of $592.0 million. The Company had total real estate debt of $501.7 million, of which $371.6 million, or approximately 74.0%, was subject to fixed interest rates. The Company's weighted average interest rate on all fixed rate debt as of the end of the second quarter was 3.9% and the weighted average remaining term was 5.6 years.

At quarter end, Whitestone had $5.9 million of cash available on its balance sheet and $169.4 million of available capacity under its credit facility, before the $200 million accordion option.

Sale of Securities:
During the second quarter, Whitestone sold 735,755 shares of its common stock under its ATM program. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $10.6 million after paying fees and commissions. The funds were used to pay down debt and for general corporate purposes.

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.

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; the Company’s ability to complete its transition to a pure-play retail REIT in the time frame it expects, or at all; 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 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.

4



FFO: Management believes that FFO is a useful measure of the Company's operating performance. The Company computes FFO as defined by 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 other 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.


5


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.
