Fourth Quarter 2016 Financial Results

 

Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $7.3 million, compared to a net loss of $1.5 million in the prior year period. The change in net loss was primarily driven by positive increases in property NOI of $5.8 million, income of unconsolidated real estate joint ventures of $0.8 million due to the increase in the size of the invest-to-own portfolio, and a gain on revaluation of equity of business combination of $3.8 million, offset by increases in general and administrative expense of $0.5 million, management fees of $0.9 million, acquisition costs of $0.3 million, depreciation and amortization expense of $3.0 million, interest expense of $2.4 million, and the preferred stock expense of $4.5 million.

 

AFFO for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $3.7 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to $4.3 million, or $0.21 per share in the prior year period. AFFO was positively impacted by increases in property NOI of $5.8 million arising from significant investment activity and in income of unconsolidated real estate joint ventures of $0.8 million caused by expanding the size of the invest-to-own portfolio, offset by higher interest expense of $2.3 million and the expense of preferred stock dividends of $4.2 million.

Same Store Portfolio Performance

 

Same store NOI for the fourth quarter of 2016 increased by 6.1% from the same period in the prior year. There was a 5.7% increase in same store property revenues compared to the same prior year period, primarily attributable to a 4.0% increase in average rental rates, an 80 basis point increase in average occupancy and an additional 17 units acquired at our Lansbrook property and 15 additional units at Park & Kingston. Same store expenses increased 5.1% with increases in several operating expense categories and were driven by various factors.

 

Management Internalization

 

On November 7, 2016, the Company announced that it had begun the process of internalizing the management of the Company by forming a special committee of the board of directors comprised solely of the independent directors of the board to pursue the internalization, along with hiring other advisors. The Company is targeting internalizing the management of the Company at the beginning of the third quarter of 2017, though it provides no assurance as to the timing or completion of the internalization process.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

The foregoing supplemental financial data includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are helpful in understanding our business and performance, as further described below. Our definition and calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those of other REITs, and may, therefore, not be comparable.

 

Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations

 

Funds from operations attributable to common stockholders (“FFO”) is a non-GAAP financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance. We consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of our operating performance as it is based on a net income analysis of property portfolio performance that excludes non-cash items such as depreciation. The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT, using historical accounting for depreciation, could be less informative. We define FFO, consistent with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or (“NAREIT's”) definition, as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, plus impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.

 

In addition to FFO, we use adjusted funds from operations attributable to common stockholders (“AFFO”). AFFO is a computation made by analysts and investors to measure a real estate company's operating performance by removing the effect of items that do not reflect ongoing property operations. To calculate AFFO, we further adjust FFO by adding back certain items that are not added to net income in NAREIT's definition of FFO, such as acquisition expenses, equity based compensation expenses, and any other non-recurring or non-cash expenses, which are costs that do not relate to the operating performance of our properties, and subtracting recurring capital expenditures (and when calculating the quarterly incentive fee payable to our Manager only, we further adjust FFO to include any realized gains or losses on our real estate investments).

 

Our calculation of AFFO differs from the methodology used for calculating AFFO by certain other REITs and, accordingly, our AFFO may not be comparable to AFFO reported by other REITs. Our management utilizes FFO and AFFO as measures of our operating performance after adjustment for certain non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization expenses, and acquisition expenses and pursuit costs that are required by GAAP to be expensed but may not necessarily be indicative of current operating performance and that may not accurately compare our operating performance between periods. Furthermore, although FFO, AFFO and other supplemental performance measures are defined in various ways throughout the REIT industry, we also believe that FFO and AFFO may provide us and our stockholders with an additional useful measure to compare our financial performance to certain other REITs. We also use AFFO for purposes of determining the quarterly incentive fee, if any, payable to our Manager.

 

Neither FFO nor AFFO is equivalent to net income, including net income attributable to common stockholders, or cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, FFO and AFFO do not represent amounts available for management's discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments or uncertainties. Neither FFO nor AFFO should be considered as an alternative to net income, including net income attributable to common stockholders, as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

(2) Pro forma AFFO for the three months ended December 31, 2016 assumes the investment of the $209 million in estimated available cash had occurred on October 1, 2016: (i) additional investment of approximately $2 million in the Lake Boone preferred equity investment, (ii) additional investment of approximately $18 million in West Morehead and amending the investment to a mezzanine loan structure; (iii) investment of approximately $24 million in a mezzanine loan structure in connection with a joint venture, which entitles us to invest in Jacksonville MSA; (iv) additional investment of approximately $19 million in Domain and amending the investment to a mezzanine loan structure; (v) investment of approximately $11 million in a mezzanine loan structure in connection with a joint venture, which entitles us to invest Boca Raton MSA; (vi) investment of approximately $24 million in Nevadan Apartments in Georgia which closed on October 13, 2016; (vii) investment of approximately $16 million in a Class B+ asset the Company has under agreement in Austin, Texas; (viii) investment of approximately $11 million in APEX Apartments in Port St. Lucie, Florida which closed on October 31, 2016; (ix) investment of approximately $26 million in a Class A asset the Company has under agreement in Georgia; (x) investment of approximately $11 million in a Class A asset the Company has under agreement in Austin, Texas; (xi) investment of approximately $20 million in mezzanine loan structure in a development asset in the Atlanta, Georgia; (xii) investment of approximately $11 million in mezzanine loan structure in a development asset in the Atlanta, Georgia. Proforma guidance also assumes that $16 million is invested in stabilized properties at a nominal 5.75% cap rate with interest expense at a rate of 3.75%. The pro forma guidance is being presented solely for purposes of illustrating the potential impact of these pipeline transactions, as well as future investments to be made with funds we have available for investment, as if they had occurred at October 1, 2016, based on information currently available to management and assumptions management has made with respect to our future pipeline. The Company is providing no assurances that any of the above transactions are probable, or that they will close or that management will identify or acquire investments consistent with our pipeline assumptions, and the failure to do so would significantly impact proforma guidance. The actual timing of these investments, if and when made, will vary materially from the assumed timing reflected in the proforma guidance, and actual quarterly results will differ significantly from the proforma guidance shown above. Investors should not rely on pro forma guidance as a forecast of the actual performance of the Company.

Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA")

 

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, calculated on a consolidated basis. We consider EBITDA to be an appropriate supplemental measure of our performance because it eliminates depreciation, income taxes, interest and non-recurring items, which permits investors to view income from operations unobscured by non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization, the cost of debt or non-recurring items. Below is a reconciliation of net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders to EBITDA (unaudited and dollars in thousands).

Loss on early extinguishment of debt   -    -    (2,393)   - 
EBITDA  $10,877   $8,927   $37,298   $29,422 

 

Recurring Capital Expenditures

 

We define recurring capital expenditures as expenditures that are incurred at every property and exclude development, investment, revenue enhancing and non-recurring capital expenditures.

 

Non-Recurring Capital Expenditures

 

We define non-recurring capital expenditures as expenditures for significant projects that upgrade units or common areas and projects that are revenue enhancing.

 

Same Store Properties

 

Same store properties are conventional multifamily residential apartments which were owned and operational for the entire periods presented, including each comparative period.

 

Property Net Operating Income ("Property NOI")

 

We believe that net operating income, or NOI, is a useful measure of our operating performance. We define NOI as total property revenues less total property operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization and interest. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to other REITs. We believe that this measure provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP operating income or net income. We use NOI to evaluate our performance on a same store and non-same store basis because NOI measures the core operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses and other items not related to property operating performance and captures trends in rental housing and property operating expenses. However, NOI should only be used as an alternative measure of our financial performance.

(1)    The real estate depreciation and amortization amount includes our share of consolidated real estate-related depreciation and amortization of intangibles, less amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, and our similar estimated share of unconsolidated depreciation and amortization, which is included in earnings of our unconsolidated real estate joint venture investments.

 

(2)    See page 30 for the Company's definitions of these non-GAAP measurements. Individual line items included in FFO and AFFO calculations include results from discontinued operations where applicable.

 

(3)    Total weighted average shares for the quarter, including OP units of 298,318 was 21,401,212. AFFO related to the OP units is excluded from the calculation above. When including both, AFFO attributable to OP units and 298,318 of OP units in the weighted average share count, in the above calculation, AFFO is $0.18 per share.

 

(4) Pro forma AFFO for the three months ended December 31, 2016 assumes the investment of the $209 million in estimated available cash had occurred on October 1, 2016: (i) additional investment of approximately $2 million in the Lake Boone preferred equity investment, (ii) additional investment of approximately $18 million in West Morehead and amending the investment to a mezzanine loan structure; (iii) investment of approximately $24 million in a mezzanine loan structure in connection with a joint venture, which entitles us to invest in Jacksonville MSA; (iv) additional investment of approximately $19 million in Domain and amending the investment to a mezzanine loan structure; (v) investment of approximately $11 million in a mezzanine loan structure in connection with a joint venture, which entitles us to invest Boca Raton MSA; (vi) investment of approximately $24 million in Nevadan Apartments in Georgia which closed on October 13, 2016; (vii) investment of approximately $16 million in a Class B+ asset the Company has under agreement in Austin, Texas; (viii) investment of approximately $11 million in APEX Apartments in Port St. Lucie, Florida which closed on October 31, 2016; (ix) investment of approximately $26 million in a Class A asset the Company has under agreement in Georgia; (x) investment of approximately $11 million in a Class A asset the Company has under agreement in Austin, Texas; (xi) investment of approximately $20 million in mezzanine loan structure in a development asset in the Atlanta, Georgia; (xii) investment of approximately $11 million in mezzanine loan structure in a development asset in the Atlanta, Georgia. Proforma guidance also assumes that $16 million is invested in stabilized properties at a nominal 5.75% cap rate with interest expense at a rate of 3.75%. The pro forma guidance is being presented solely for purposes of illustrating the potential impact of these pipeline transactions, as well as future investments to be made with funds we have available for investment, as if they had occurred at October 1, 2016, based on information currently available to management and assumptions management has made with respect to our future pipeline. The Company is providing no assurances that any of the above transactions are probable, or that they will close or that management will identify or acquire investments consistent with our pipeline assumptions, and the failure to do so would significantly impact proforma guidance. The actual timing of these investments, if and when made, will vary materially from the assumed timing reflected in the proforma guidance, and actual quarterly results will differ significantly from the proforma guidance shown above. Investors should not rely on pro forma guidance as a forecast of the actual performance of the Company.

(7) Pro forma guidance assumes the investment of $150 million in estimated available cash had occurred on January 1, 2017: (i) additional investment of approximately $2 million in the Lake Boone convertible preferred equity investment, (ii) additional investment of approximately $3 million in the West Morehead mezzanine loan; (iii) investment of approximately $25 million in a mezzanine loan structure in connection with a joint venture, which entitles us to invest in the Jacksonville MSA; (iv) investment of approximately $19 million in a mezzanine loan structure in the development asset in the Dallas MSA; (v) investment of approximately $4 million in a mezzanine loan structure in connection with a joint venture, which entitles us to invest in the Boca Raton MSA; (vi) investment of approximately $5 million in a mezzanine loan structure in a development asset in Fort Lauderdale, Florida; (vii) investment of approximately $5 million in a mezzanine loan structure in a development asset in Atlanta, Georgia; (viii) investment of approximately $2 million in a mezzanine loan structure in a development asset in Atlanta, Georgia; (ix) investment of approximately $17 million in a Class A asset the Company has under agreement in Morrisville, North Carolina; (x) investment of approximately $18 million in a Class A asset the Company has under agreement in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Investors should not rely on pro forma guidance as a forecast of the actual performance of the Company.

(8) The Company has not reconciled projected and pro forma Adjusted Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders per share (“AFFO”) guidance to the corresponding GAAP financial measure because it does not provide guidance for various reconciling items. The Company is unable to provide guidance for these reconciling items since certain items that impact net income are outside of its control and cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measures are not available.

Bluerock Residential Growth REIT, Inc.
Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

The foregoing supplemental financial data includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are helpful in understanding our business, as further described below. Our definition and calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those of other REITs, and may, therefore, not be comparable.

 

Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations

Funds from operations attributable to common stockholders (“FFO”), is a non-GAAP financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance. We consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of our operating performance as it is based on a net income analysis of property portfolio performance that excludes non-cash items such as depreciation. The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT, using historical accounting for depreciation, could be less informative. We define FFO, consistent with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or (“NAREIT's”), definition, as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, plus impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.

 

In addition to FFO, we use adjusted funds from operations attributable to common stockholders (“AFFO”). AFFO is a computation made by analysts and investors to measure a real estate company's operating performance by removing the effect of items that do not reflect ongoing property operations. To calculate AFFO, we further adjust FFO by adding back certain items that are not added to net income in NAREIT's definition of FFO, such as acquisition expenses, equity based compensation expenses, and any other non-recurring or non-cash expenses, which are costs that do not relate to the operating performance of our properties, and subtracting recurring capital expenditures (and when calculating the quarterly incentive fee payable to our Manager only, we further adjust FFO to include any realized gains or losses on our real estate investments).

 

Our calculation of AFFO differs from the methodology used for calculating AFFO by certain other REITs and, accordingly, our AFFO may not be comparable to AFFO reported by other REITs. Our management utilizes FFO and AFFO as measures of our operating performance after adjustment for certain non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization expenses, and acquisition expenses and pursuit costs that are required by GAAP to be expensed but may not necessarily be indicative of current operating performance and that may not accurately compare our operating performance between periods. Furthermore, although FFO, AFFO and other supplemental performance measures are defined in various ways throughout the REIT industry, we also believe that FFO and AFFO may provide us and our stockholders with an additional useful measure to compare our financial performance to certain other REITs. We also use AFFO for purposes of determining the quarterly incentive fee, if any, payable to our Manager.

 

Neither FFO nor AFFO is equivalent to net income or cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, FFO and AFFO do not represent amounts available for management's discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments or uncertainties. Neither FFO nor AFFO should be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

 

We have acquired interests in nine additional properties and four investments accounted for on the equity method of accounting and sold two properties subsequent to December 31, 2015. The results presented in the table below are not directly comparable and should not be considered an indication of our future operating performance (unaudited and dollars in thousands, except share and per share data).

 

Recurring Capital Expenditures

 

We define recurring capital expenditures as expenditures that are incurred at every property and exclude development, investment, revenue enhancing and non-recurring capital expenditures.

 

Non-Recurring Capital Expenditures

 

We define non-recurring capital expenditures as expenditures for significant projects that upgrade units or common areas and projects that are revenue enhancing.

 

Same Store Properties

 

Same store properties are conventional multifamily residential apartments which were owned and operational for the entire periods presented.

Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA")

 

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, calculated on a consolidated basis. We consider EBITDA to be an appropriate supplemental measure of our performance because it eliminates depreciation, income taxes, interest and non-recurring items, which permits investors to view income from operations unobscured by non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization, the cost of debt or non-recurring items. Below is a reconciliation of net (loss) income applicable to common shares to EBITDA.

Property Net Operating Income ("Property NOI")

 

We believe that net operating income, or NOI, is a useful measure of our operating performance. We define NOI as total property revenues less total property operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization and interest. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to other REITs. We believe that this measure provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP operating income or net income. We use NOI to evaluate our performance on a same store and non-same store basis because NOI measures the core operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses and other items not related to property operating performance and captures trends in rental housing and property operating expenses. However, NOI should only be used as an alternative measure of our financial performance.

 

The following table reflects same store and non-same store contributions to consolidated NOI together with a reconciliation of NOI to net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders as computed in accordance with GAAP for the periods presented:
