HONOLULU, Feb. 28, 2018
HONOLULU, Feb. 28, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. (NYSE: ALEX) ("A&B" or "Company") today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2017.
"I'm very pleased with A&B's strong operational performance and all we were able to accomplish in 2017," said Chris Benjamin, A&B president and chief executive officer. "Our fourth quarter and year-end financial picture was more complex than usual as a result of our recent Special Distribution and some important strategic moves made late in 2017. However, we continued to make significant strides in executing our strategy of becoming a Hawai`i-focused commercial real estate company, including transitioning property management and leasing functions in house, negotiating the recently announced Terramar Hawai`i asset acquisition, and marketing our remaining mainland assets for sale. We also enhanced our leasing processes, which enabled us to achieve re-leasing spreads of 13.9% in 2017, and achieve an increase in same-store cash net operating income from our commercial portfolio that exceeded our guidance of 3-4%."
Mr. Benjamin continued, "The Terramar acquisition does far more than just add three premier Hawai`i retail centers to A&B's portfolio; it facilitates the completion of our mainland-to-Hawai`i migration strategy. In just the past five years, we have migrated over $400 million of commercial real estate capital from assets across the U.S. mainland to highly strategic assets in Hawai`i. While the Company's fourth quarter earnings included a net charge of $16.1 million related to four mainland property dispositions, we expect to realize gains on the sales of three other mainland properties in 2018 that will more than offset that impact. The execution of this series of exchanges—similar to the exchanges that led to our ownership of our Kailua portfolio and Manoa Marketplace—solidifies A&B's position as the owner of the largest grocery-anchored retail portfolio in Hawai`i and brings three important Hawai`i assets under local ownership."

On November 16, 2017, in connection with the Company's conversion to a REIT, the Company's Board of Directors declared a distribution in an aggregate amount of $783 million, or approximately $15.92 per share, payable in cash and shares of the Company's stock (the "Special Distribution"). The Special Distribution was paid on January 23, 2018. Prior to payment, shareholders had an opportunity to elect to receive the Special Distribution in the form of cash or additional shares of common stock, subject to a limit of $156.6 million of cash. As the deadline for the common shareholders' election was January 12, 2018, subsequent to December 31, 2017, the total Special Distribution of $783 million was treated as dilutive shares outstanding from the date of the Special Distribution declaration, November 16, 2017, and was included in the computation of the Company's diluted earnings (loss) per share.
The following weighted-average number of shares outstanding were used in the calculation of earnings per share for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2017:

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The Company uses non-GAAP measures when evaluating operating performance because management believes that they provide additional insight into the Company's and segments' core operating results, and/or the underlying business trends affecting performance on a consistent and comparable basis from period to period. These measures generally are provided to investors as an additional means of evaluating the performance of ongoing core operations. The non-GAAP financial information presented herein should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company's methods of calculating non-GAAP measures may differ from methods employed by other companies and thus may not be comparable to such other companies.
Cash Net Operating Income ("Cash NOI") is a non-GAAP measure used by the Company in evaluating the CRE segment's operating performance as it is an indicator of the return on property investment, and provides a method of comparing performance of operations, on an unlevered basis, over time. Cash NOI should be not be viewed as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Cash NOI is calculated as total property revenues less direct property-related operating expenses. Cash NOI excludes straight-line rent adjustments, amortization of favorable/unfavorable leases, amortization of tenant incentives, general and administrative expenses, impairments of real estate, and depreciation and amortization (including amortization of maintenance capital, tenant improvements and leasing commissions).
A reconciliation of CRE operating profit to CRE Cash NOI is as follows:

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA for the Materials & Construction segment are non-GAAP measures used by the Company in evaluating the Materials & Construction segment's operating performance on a consistent and comparable basis from period to period. The Company provides this information to investors as an additional means of evaluating the performance of the segment's ongoing core operations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be viewed as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
EBITDA is calculated for the Materials & Construction segment by adjusting segment operating profit (which excludes interest and tax expenses), by adding back depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated for the Materials & Construction segment by adjusting for income attributable to noncontrolling interests from EBITDA.
A reconciliation of Materials & Construction operating profit to Materials & Construction EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is as follows:
