Kite Realty Group Trust Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results; Grows 2015 Same
Property NOI by 3.5%, Increases Dividend by 5.5% and Announces 2016 Guidance
Indianapolis, Ind., February 4, 2016 - Kite Realty Group Trust (NYSE: KRG) (the “Company”) announced today operating results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2015. Financial statements and exhibits attached to this release include the details of the results.
“Our performance during the fourth quarter and throughout 2015 is a testament to our dedicated team, operational excellence, strong balance sheet and overall corporate strategy,” said John Kite, Chief Executive Officer. “We maintained significant leasing momentum through year-end, as evidenced by a 190 basis point increase in small shops leased for the year. Our same-property net operating income reached the top-end of our expectations, growing 3.5% for the year. Our balance sheet flexibility is the strongest ever with a staggered maturity schedule, strong fixed charge coverage and more than 50% of our asset value unencumbered. Our consistent cash flow growth allowed us to increase our annual dividend by 5.5%, while maintaining conservative payout ratios. With our robust redevelopment pipeline and meaningful lease-up opportunities ahead, we are excited about the future and our ability to create long-term value.”

Financial Results
For the three months ended December 31, 2015, FFO, as adjusted, was $42.4 million, or $0.50 per diluted common share for Kite Realty Group, L.P.’s real estate properties in which the Company owns an interest (to which we refer as “Kite Portfolio”), compared to $42.9 million, or $0.50 per diluted common share, for the same period in the prior year.
Reported FFO, as defined by NAREIT, for the three months ended December 31, 2015, was $49.1 million, or $0.58 per diluted common share, for the Kite Portfolio, compared to $42.3 million, or $0.50 per diluted common share, for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by a $5.6 million gain on debt extinguishment and a $4.8 million gain from the release of assumed earnout liabilities, which were partially offset by a charge of $3.8 million related to the preferred share redemption.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, FFO, as adjusted, was $170.2 million, or $1.99 per diluted common share, for the Kite Portfolio, compared to $121.6 million, or $2.02 per diluted common share, for the prior year. Reported FFO, as defined by NAREIT for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, was $179.8 million, or $2.11 per diluted common share, for the Kite Portfolio, compared to $94.1 million, or $1.56 per diluted common share, for the prior year. The increase was largely driven by the above-mentioned transactions, along with a gain on settlement of $4.5 million from earlier in 2015.
Net income attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended December 31, 2015, was $5.4 million, compared to a net income of $5.1 million for the same period in 2014. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, net income attributable to common shareholders was $15.4 million, compared to a net loss of $14.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. Full year 2015 results include a $5.6 million gain on debt extinguishment and a $4.8 million gain from the release of assumed earnout liabilities, which were partially offset by a charge of $3.8 million related to the preferred share redemption and a $1.6 million impairment attributable to a planned disposition of an operating property.
Capital Markets & Balance Sheet
During the fourth quarter, the Company completed a $200 million 7-year unsecured term loan bearing an interest rate of LIBOR plus 160 basis points. Earlier in 2015, the Company completed its first senior unsecured bond offering by issuing $250 million via a private placement at a blended fixed rate of 4.41% across 8-year, 10-year and 12-year tranches. Both unsecured transactions included delayed draw features in order to closely match future funding needs.
The proceeds from these debt offerings and non-core asset sales were used to redeem the Company’s $102.5 million 8.25% preferred notes and to unencumber one of the Company’s most valuable assets, City Center in White Plains, New York. These proactive initiatives taken in 2015 further strengthened the Company’s balance sheet as it reduced secured debt exposure to 22.6% of gross asset value, extended the weighted average debt maturity to 5.2 years, lowered floating rate debt exposure to 12% and maintained a fixed charge coverage ratio in excess of 3 times.
Portfolio Activity
Development and Redevelopment
The Company’s three development projects, Phase II of Parkside Town Commons, Phase II of Holly Springs Towne Center, and Tamiami Crossing, were in aggregate 88.7% pre-leased or committed as of December 31, 2015. These three projects have a total estimated cost of approximately $172.7 million, of which approximately $145.4 million, or 84.2%, had been incurred as of December 31, 2015.
The Company ended the year having identified 20 redevelopment opportunities with total cost ranging from $130 million to $145 million at an average incremental return of approximately 9 to 11 percent. This pipeline is diverse in geography and type, with projects spread across redevelopment, repurpose and reposition opportunities. As of the end of the fourth quarter, 14 of the 20 properties included in the pipeline remain in the operating portfolio.
Portfolio Dispositions
During the fourth quarter, the Company completed the sale of Four Corner Square in Maple Valley, Washington, and Cornelius Gateway in Cornelius, Oregon. The dispositions of non-core assets resulted in aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $45 million, which were used to partially fund the redemption of $102.5 million of the Company’s 8.25% preferred shares.
Four Corner Square is a 119,579 square foot shopping center, including ground leases, anchored by Grocery Outlet, Johnsons Hardware and Walgreens. Cornelius Gateway is comprised of 21,326 square feet tenanted by FedEx Kinkos and Anytime Fitness.
Portfolio Operations
As of December 31, 2015, the Company owned interests in 121 properties totaling approximately 24 million square feet. The owned GLA in the Company’s retail operating portfolio was 95.4% leased as of December 31, 2015, and the Company’s overall portfolio was 95.3% leased, excluding ground leases and non-owned anchors.
Same-property NOI, which includes 104 operating properties, increased 3.4% in the fourth quarter compared to the same period in the prior year. Same-property NOI increased 3.5% for the full year, compared to the same period in the prior year. The leased percentage of these properties was 95.4% at December 31, 2015, compared to 95.1% at December 31, 2014.
The Company executed 108 leases totaling 504,893 square feet during the fourth quarter of 2015. There were 68 comparable new and renewal leases executed during the quarter for 396,196 square feet. Cash rent spreads on new and renewal leases executed in the quarter were approximately 21.0% and 12.7%, respectively, for a blended cash rent spread of 14.2%.
Distributions
The Board of Trustees approved a quarterly common share cash distribution of $0.2875 per common share for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, which represents a 5.5% increase over its previous quarterly distribution. The distribution will be paid on or about April 13, 2016 to shareholders of record as of April 6, 2016.
2016 Earnings Guidance
The Company is introducing guidance for 2016 Funds From Operations (“FFO”), as adjusted, in a range of $2.02 to $2.08 per diluted share.
The Company’s 2016 FFO, as adjusted guidance excludes certain one-time items such as transaction costs, debt extinguishment gains/losses and certain other income or charges. The 2016 guidance is based on the following key assumptions:
• | Increase in same-property NOI of 2.5% to 3.5% (excluding redevelopment) |
• | Year-end 2016 retail portfolio leased rate of 95% to 96% |
• | General and administrative expense of $18 million to $20 million |
• | GAAP interest expense of $62 million to $65 million |
• | Sale of non-depreciable assets included in Other Property Related Revenue of $1 million to $3 million, after-tax |
• | Sale of non-core operating properties of $50 million to $75 million, in addition to dispositions completed in December 2015 |
• | No acquisition activity |
The Company’s 2016 guidance is based on a number of factors, many of which are outside the Company’s control and all of which are subject to change. The Company may change its guidance during the year if actual or anticipated results vary from these assumptions, although the Company undertakes no obligation to do so.
Guidance Range For Full Year 2016 | Low | High | ||||
Consolidated net income per diluted common share | $ | 0.07 | $ | 0.13 | ||
Add: Depreciation, amortization and other | 1.93 | 1.93 | ||||
FFO, per diluted common share, as defined by NAREIT | 2.00 | 2.06 | ||||
Add: Transaction costs and certain other charges | 0.02 | 0.02 | ||||
FFO, as adjusted, per diluted common share | $ | 2.02 | $ | 2.08 | ||
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Given the nature of the Company’s business as a real estate owner and operator, the Company believes that FFO, FFO, as adjusted, and AFFO are helpful to investors when measuring operating performance because they exclude 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. We believe this supplemental information provides a more meaningful measure of our operating performance. The Company believes presenting FFO, FFO, as adjusted, and AFFO in this manner allows investors and other interested parties to form a more meaningful assessment of the Company’s operating results. Reconciliations of net income to FFO, FFO, as adjusted, and AFFO are included in the attached table.
Earnings Conference Call
The Company will conduct a conference call to discuss its financial results on Friday, February 5, 2016, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time.

1 | Same property analysis excludes operating properties in redevelopment. |

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.
