Michael P. Landy, President and CEO, commented on the results for the third quarter of fiscal 2018,
"We are pleased to report another strong quarter for Monmouth. During the quarter we:
- Increased our per share Core FFO to $0.23, representing a 10% increase over the prior year period
- Increased our per share AFFO to $0.22, representing a 16% increase over the prior year period
- Increased our Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders to $0.13 per share, representing an 86% increase over the prior year period
- Increased our Net Operating Income (NOI) by 20% over the prior year period
- Increased our Gross Revenue by 31% to $39.8 million, compared to $30.5 million in the prior year period
- Acquired two, brand new, Class A built-to-suit properties comprising 762,000 square feet, for a cost of $64.4 million
- Grew our acquisition pipeline over the quarter to four, brand new, Class A build-to-suit properties, representing 1.1 million square feet for a total purchase price of $221.4 million, all net-leased to investment grade tenants
- Increased our gross leasable area (GLA) by 15% to 20.5 million square feet over the prior year period
- Maintained our weighted average lease maturity at 7.8 years
- Increased our occupancy rate by 40 bps sequentially and maintained our sector leading occupancy rate year over year at 99.6% as of the quarter end
- Renewed 9 of the sixteen leases scheduled to expire in fiscal 2018. These 9 leases consist of 890,000 square feet and result in a 3.9% increase in GAAP rents and a 2.4% increase on a cash basis. These lease renewals have a weighted average lease term of 6.5 years
- Increased our securities investments by 16% during the quarter to $167.6 million, all attributable to rising prices on our holdings, and
- Reduced our weighted average interest rate on our fixed rate debt by 10 bps to 4.11% as of the current quarter end, and maintained our weighted average debt maturity on our fixed rate debt at 11.5 years."
Mr. Landy further stated, "Monmouth has maintained or increased its common stock dividend for 26 consecutive years. We have increased our AFFO per share by 16% over the prior year quarter and by 18% year over year for the nine-month period. With a very conservative 77% AFFO dividend payout ratio this quarter, we remain confident about continuing to provide our shareholders with the high-quality, reliable income streams we have delivered for over a quarter century. This quarter represented our 10th consecutive quarter with an occupancy rate above 99%. At quarter end, our weighted average lease maturity remained 7.8 years, and our weighted average debt maturity remained 11.5 years, providing excellent long-term visibility for continued strong results."
"Thus far in fiscal 2018, we have acquired five buildings comprising 2.0 million square feet and 260.4 total acres, for a total purchase price of $174.0 million. During the quarter, we acquired two, brand new, Class A built-to-suit properties for an aggregate cost of $64.4 million. One property consists of a 399,000 square foot industrial building, situated on 27.5 acres in Daytona Beach, FL, net-leased for 10 years to B. Braun Medical Inc. Florida consistently ranks as one of our nation's strongest and most business-friendly states and represents 11% of our property portfolio. The other property is a 363,000 square foot industrial building, situated on 31.3 acres, located in Mobile, AL, and is net-leased to Amazon for 11 years. This property is strategically located at the Port of Mobile, a beneficiary of the recently expanded Panama Canal. With over 400 million tons in shipments last year, the Panama Canal has surpassed all projections. In a similar manner to building out our large ecommerce exposure in anticipation of the digital revolution, we have assembled a portfolio that is very well positioned to benefit from the remaking of the global supply chain."
"Thus far in fiscal 2018, we have renewed nine of the sixteen leases that were set to expire. These nine lease renewals total 890,000 square feet, representing 58% of the expiring square footage. These lease renewals resulted in a 3.9% rental increase on a GAAP basis, and a 2.4% increase on a cash basis. These nine lease renewals have a weighted average lease term of 6.5 years. Three of the remaining seven properties were sold, generating substantial gains during fiscal 2018. One property has been re-tenanted and one 80,000 square foot lease did not renew. We expect to have more to report on the remaining two properties during the remainder of fiscal 2018."
"Our REIT securities investments performed very well during the quarter with a total value of $167.6 million at quarter end representing a 16% increase over the prior quarter. All of this increase is attributable to rising prices on our holdings. Our securities investments had an unrealized loss of $8.4 million at quarter end representing a $22.8 million improvement over the prior quarter. Our securities investments generated $3.6 million in dividend income during the quarter representing a 91% increase over the prior year period. At quarter end, our REIT securities investments represented 9.2% of our total undepreciated assets."
"Our acquisition pipeline grew over the quarter and currently contains four, brand new, Class A build-to-suit industrial buildings. Each of these four properties is net-leased to FedEx Ground Package System, Inc. These properties contain approximately 1.1 million total square feet and are situated on 235.2 total acres. The total purchase price for these four properties is approximately $221.4 million with a weighted average lease term of 13.9 years. We anticipate closing these transactions sometime during the remainder of fiscal 2018 and the first quarter of fiscal 2019. We look forward to reporting continued progress throughout the year."

Notes: |
|
(1) Non-U.S. GAAP Information: FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") as net income applicable to common shareholders, excluding gains or losses from sales of depreciable assets, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization. We define Core FFO as FFO plus acquisition costs and costs associated with the redemption of preferred stock. We define AFFO as Core FFO, excluding lease termination income, net gain or loss on sale of securities transactions, stock based compensation expense, depreciation of corporate office tenant improvements, amortization of deferred financing costs, non-recurring other expense, U.S. GAAP straight-line rent adjustments and less recurring capital expenditures. We define recurring capital expenditures as all capital expenditures that are recurring in nature, excluding capital expenditures related to expansions at our current locations or capital expenditures that are incurred in conjunction with obtaining a new lease or a lease renewal. We define NOI as recurring rental and reimbursement revenues less real estate taxes and other operating expenses. FFO, Core FFO and AFFO per diluted common share are defined as FFO, Core FFO and AFFO divided by weighted average diluted common shares outstanding. FFO, Core FFO and AFFO per diluted common share, as well as NOI, should be considered as supplemental measures of operating performance used by real estate investment trusts (REITs). FFO, Core FFO and AFFO per diluted common share exclude historical cost depreciation as an expense and may facilitate the comparison of REITs which have different cost basis. However, other REITs may use different methodologies to calculate FFO, Core FFO and AFFO and, accordingly, our FFO, Core FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to all other REITs. The items excluded from FFO, Core FFO and AFFO per diluted common share are significant components in understanding the Company's financial performance. |
|
FFO, Core FFO and AFFO per diluted common share (A) do not represent cash flow from operations as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; (B) should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities; and (C) are not alternatives to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. FFO, Core FFO and AFFO per diluted common share, as well as NOI, as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other REITs. |
The following is a reconciliation of the Company's U.S. GAAP Net Income to the Company's FFO, Core FFO and AFFO for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:
