Indianapolis, Ind., November 1, 2012 – Kite Realty Group Trust (NYSE: KRG) (the “Company”) today announced results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2012.  Financial statements and exhibits attached to this release include results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Financial and Operating Results

Funds from operations (FFO), a widely accepted supplemental measure of REIT performance established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, was $7.9 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the Kite Portfolio for the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. The Company’s allocable share of FFO was $7.1 million for both three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 FFO, as adjusted for a $1.3 million litigation charge and a $0.5 million write-off of deferred financing costs was $23.8 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the Kite Portfolio compared to $23.2 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year.  The Company’s allocable share of FFO as adjusted was $21.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $20.6 million for the same period in 2011.  Without these adjustments, FFO for the Kite Portfolio and the Company’s allocable share of FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $22.0 million and $19.7 million, respectively.
 
Given the nature of the Company’s business as a real estate owner and operator, the Company believes that FFO is helpful to investors when measuring operating performance because it excludes various items included in net income or loss that do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, such as gains or losses from sales and impairments of operating properties, and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. For informational purposes, we have also provided FFO adjusted for a litigation charge recorded in the first quarter of 2012 and a write-off of deferred financing costs in the second quarter of 2012.  We believe this supplemental information provides a meaningful measure of our operating performance.  The Company believes presenting FFO in this manner allows investors and other interested parties to form a more meaningful assessment of the Company’s operating results.  A reconciliation of net income to FFO and FFO as adjusted is included in the attached table.

Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $3.0 million for the third quarter of 2012 compared to net loss in the prior year of $0.6 million.  This change is primarily attributable to an increase in depreciation expense of $3.0 million due to transition of development properties to the operating portfolio and accelerated depreciation related to the redevelopment of the Company’s Four Corner Square and Rangeline Crossing properties, partially offset by a $2.1 million increase in income from property operations. The Company’s total revenue for the third quarter of 2012 increased to $25.4 million from $23.5 million for the same period in 2011 due to transition of development properties to the operating portfolio over the past twelve months.

Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $5.8 million for the first nine months of 2012 compared to net loss in the prior year of $3.9 million.  This change is primarily attributable to a $2.2 million increase in interest expense largely due to the transition of certain properties to the operating portfolio, an increase of $4.4 million in depreciation and amortization expense due to accelerated depreciation taken in the current year on certain redevelopment properties, and a $1.3 million litigation charge in the first quarter of 2012, partially offset by a $5.2 million current year gain on the sale of operating properties and higher income from property operations of $5.3 million.  The Company’s total revenue for the first nine months of 2012 was $74.8 million, a $4.9 million increase from the same period in 2011.  The increase resulted from an improvement in revenue due to the transition of properties from in-process development/redevelopment to the operating portfolio, increased revenue from existing properties due to improved occupancy levels, the current year acquisitions of 12th Street Plaza and Cove Center and the full year effect of properties acquired during 2011.

John A. Kite, Kite Realty Group’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said "We are pleased with our recent success in the capital markets, as well as the significant progress we continue to make with our current acquisition pipeline.  We plan to deploy the capital we recently raised into quality assets and bring our in-process developments to completion, which should accelerate our revenue growth. We are also ahead of plan on the disposition of non-core assets and the recycling of this capital into our redevelopment platform and acquisition opportunities.”
 
 
 
 

 
 
Operating Portfolio
 
As of September 30, 2012, the Company owned interests in 58 retail properties (including five properties under redevelopment) totaling approximately 8.5 million square feet.  During the quarter the Company removed its Preston Commons property from the operating portfolio and transferred it to “held for sale” status, as the Company currently is pursuing the sale of this asset.  The owned gross leasable area (“GLA”) in the Company’s 53-property retail operating portfolio was 93.4% leased as of September 30, 2012, compared to 93.0% leased as of the end of the prior quarter.

During the quarter the Company also removed two commercial properties from its operating portfolio and transferred them to “held for sale” status.  Pen Products and Indiana State Motor Pool total 200,875 square feet and were sold on October 31, 2012.  As of September 30, 2012, the owned net rentable area of the two properties remaining in the commercial operating portfolio was 93.6% leased compared to 93.4% at the end of the prior quarter. The combined retail and commercial operating portfolio leased percentage was 93.5% as of September 30, 2012, compared to 93.0% as of the end of the prior quarter.

Same property net operating income (“NOI”) for the Company’s properties increased 1.9% in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in the prior year.  The Company anticipates exceeding its previously disclosed full-year same property NOI guidance range.  The same property leased percentage of these 49 operating properties was 93.0% at September 30, 2012 and 92.7% at September 30, 2011. 

The Company’s small shop leased percentage increased 120 basis points during the quarter from 80.6% to 81.8%, representing the fourth consecutive quarterly increase.  The Company’s anchor leased percentage remained unchanged at 98.2% as of September 30, 2012.

Leasing Activities

During the third quarter of 2012, the Company executed 46 new and renewal leases totaling approximately 231,340 square feet with aggregate cash rent spreads of 4.1%.  New leases were signed with 27 tenants for approximately 104,078 square feet of GLA.  These leases represent an 11.6% positive cash rent spread.  A total of 19 leases representing 127,262 square feet were renewed during the quarter for a 1.9% decrease in cash rent spread.


 
 
 

 
 
Development, Acquisition and Disposition Activities

As of September 30, 2012, the Company owned interests in five in-process development/redevelopment projects that were 83.7% pre-leased or committed and are expected to total 703,224 owned square feet upon completion.  The total estimated cost of these projects is approximately $195 million, of which $128 million had been incurred as of September 30, 2012.

During the quarter, the Company transitioned the 12,000 square foot DePauw University Bookstore & Café and 14,550 square foot Zionsville (Indianapolis MSA) Walgreens to the operating portfolio. These projects were both 100% leased.

In July, the Company acquired 12th Street Plaza (formerly “Vero Mall”), a 138,000 square foot neighborhood shopping center in Vero Beach, Florida.  12th Street Plaza was 96.6% leased as of September 30, 2012 and is anchored by Publix Supermarket and Stein Mart.  The purchase price, exclusive of closing costs, was $15.2 million, including the assumption of a $7.9 million mortgage loan which matures in August 2013.

In September, the Company sold its Coral Springs Plaza retail operating property in Coral Springs, Florida for total net proceeds of $8.7 million, which were primarily used to pay down the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility.
 
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company sold its Pen Products and Indiana State Motor Pool commercial operating properties for total gross proceeds of $10.1 million.
Capital Markets

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company completed a public offering of 12,075,000 common shares at a price of $5.20 per share, which generated net proceeds to the Company of approximately $60 million. The Company initially used the net proceeds to repay amounts outstanding under its unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company anticipates redeploying the net proceeds into the acquisition of properties and the funding of redevelopment costs.

In July, the Company closed on a $22.8 million construction loan for its Four Corner Square redevelopment property in Maple Valley, Washington (Seattle MSA).  The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 225 basis points and has a three-year term with an option to extend for an additional two years.  Vertical construction has commenced on this project and is expected to be substantially complete in the first half of 2013.

In August, the Company closed on a $37.5 million construction loan for its Holly Springs Towne Center development property in Raleigh, North Carolina.  This loan has a term of three years with a two-year extension option and bears interest at LIBOR plus 250 basis points (which decreases to LIBOR plus 225 basis points after the completion of construction). Vertical construction has commenced as well on this project and is also expected to be substantially complete in the first half of 2013.


Distributions

On October 12, 2012, the Company paid a quarterly common share cash distribution of $0.06 per common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 to shareholders of record as of October 5, 2012.  The Board of Trustees anticipates declaring a quarterly cash distribution for the quarter ending December 31, 2012 later in the fourth quarter.

Same Property analysis excludes Courthouse Shadows, Oleander Place, Four Corner Square, Rangeline Crossing and Bolton Plaza as the Company pursues redevelopment of these properties.  For the third quarter, it also excludes three properties (Preston Commons, Pen Products, and Indiana State Motor Pool) that were transferred to “held for sale” status during the quarter.
   
2
Same Property net operating income is considered a non-GAAP measure because it excludes net gains from outlot sales, write offs of straight-line rent and lease intangibles, bad debt expense and related recoveries, lease termination fees and significant prior year expense recoveries and adjustments, if any.  Such items are included in net operating income – non-same properties.
   
   


The Company believes that Net Operating Income is helpful to investors as a measure of its operating performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of its operating performance, such as depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and impairment, if any.  The Company believes that Same Property NOI is helpful to investors as a measure of its operating performance because it includes only the NOI of properties that have been owned for the full period presented, which eliminates disparities in net income due to the redevelopment, acquisition or disposition of properties during the particular period presented, and thus provides a more consistent metric for the comparison of the Company's properties.  NOI and Same Property NOI should not, however, be considered as alternatives to net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as indicators of the Company's financial performance.
