"PREIT's 2019 performance has been impacted by a challenging backdrop resulting from major bankruptcies, including Charlotte Russe, Forever 21 and others, as well as anchor downtime.  At the same time, we opened transformative projects - Fashion District, which has welcomed over a million visitors thus far, along with Woodland and Plymouth Meeting Malls, where traffic is up 40% and 23%, respectively, since opening.  We are very pleased with early results and are confident that our strategy has paved the way to deliver strong results for 2020 and beyond," said Joseph F. Coradino, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PREIT.  "PREIT is a different company than we were seven years ago and we are well aware that our ability to demonstrate earnings growth and meaningful balance sheet improvement following our multi-year redevelopment program is paramount to generating strong shareholder returns.  With the majority of our projects complete, our attention is focused on driving top line revenue growth and continuing to creatively improve our balance sheet."

  • Same Store NOI, excluding lease termination revenue, decreased 5.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to September 30, 2018.
    • The quarter was impacted by an incremental $2.6 million of lower revenue as a result of bankruptcies, related store closings and associated write-offs. This was partially offset by incremental revenues from anchor replacements and box openings of $0.7 million in the quarter.
  • Same Store NOI, excluding lease termination revenue, decreased 2.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to September 30, 2018. Excluding the impact of revenue lost from bankruptcy-related store closings, Same Store NOI, excluding lease termination was positive.
    • On a year-to-date basis through September 30, 2019, the Company has been impacted by $4.3 million of lower revenue as a result of bankruptcies, related store closings and associated write-offs, which was partially offset by $2.0 million in incremental rent from anchor replacements and box openings.
  • NOI-weighted sales at our Core Malls increased to $545 per square foot. Core Mall sales per square foot reached $536, a 5.5% increase over the prior year. Average comparable sales per square foot at our top 6 properties rose 5.1% to $642.
  • Core Mall total occupancy was 94.4%, an increase of 60 basis points compared to September 30, 2018. Core Mall non-anchor occupancy declined by only 20 basis points from last year despite the impact from bankruptcies and chain liquidations that resulted in 66 store closures in 236,000 square feet year-to-date.
  • Non-anchor Leased space exceeds occupied space by 160 basis points when factoring in 537,000 square feet of executed new leases slated for future occupancy, representing $11.6 million in annualized future revenue, excluding Fashion District.
  • Average renewal spreads were strong in our wholly-owned portfolio at 13.2% for spaces less than 10,000 square feet and 6.5% for large format spaces. Average renewal spreads for the entire portfolio were 2.2% for the quarter.
  • During the quarter, the Company completed financing and asset sales transactions generating incremental liquidity of approximately $12.5 million since last quarter. The Company has no material debt maturities until 2021.
  • The Company has received offers from twelve bidders on its multifamily land parcels and is calling for best and final offers, currently expecting to move to Agreements of Sale before the end of 2019.
  • The Company opened Fashion District Philadelphia on September 19, 2019. During September, three replacement tenants opened in Plymouth Meeting Mall's former Macy's store with one following in October. Additionally, Woodland Mall's expansion wing, resulting from a proactive Sears recapture in 2016, opened on October 12, 2019.

Leasing and Redevelopment

  • Excluding Fashion District Philadelphia, 537,000 square feet of leases are signed for future openings. This is comprised of 249,000 square feet of space expected to open in 2019 which is expected to contribute annual gross rent of $6.1 million and 288,000 square feet opening in 2020 expected to contribute annual gross rent of $5.5 million.
  • On September 19, the Company's 50/50 joint venture with Macerich opened Fashion District Philadelphia, a four-level retail hub in Center City spanning nearly 900,000 square feet across three city blocks in the heart of downtown Philadelphia. The project, which represents an unrivaled collection of retail, entertainment and co-working uses, is expected to be 70% occupied by Holiday 2019. Noteworthy tenants include Century 21, Primark, Burlington, Industrious, H&M, Nike, AMC Theaters, Round One, City Winery, Wonderspaces, Candytopia, Ulta, Forever 21, Kate Spade, Sephora, A/X Armani, DSW Shoes, American Eagle/Aerie, Hollister, Columbia Sportswear, Guess Factory and Skechers, among others.
  • At Plymouth Meeting Mall, Burlington, DICK's Sporting Goods, Miller's Ale House and Edge Fitness have opened in the location of the former Macy's. This convenient and sought-after collection of tenants, will be joined by Michaels in Spring 2020.
  • On October 12, 2019, the expansion wing at Woodland Mall opened anchored by a brand new, top-quality Von Maur Department Store. New tenants in the wing include: Urban Outfitters, Tricho Salon & Spa, Williams-Sonoma, Black Rock Bar & Grill, Paddle North and Made in Michigan. The Cheesecake Factory plans to open its second Michigan location in early November. In Spring 2020, the mall is slated to welcome White House | Black Market and Sephora.
  • At Willow Grove Park, Yard House is under construction for a December 2019 opening and construction continues on the 51,000 square foot Studio Movie Grill, which is projected to open in early 2020.
  • At Valley Mall, both Macy's and The Bon Ton were replaced in 2018. DICK's Sporting Goods is under construction in a former Sears location and is expected to open in Spring 2020.
  • At Dartmouth Mall, construction is underway for a new Burlington as the lead tenant for a proactively recaptured Sears store. Occupying 43,000 square feet, the store is expected to open in Spring 2020. The redevelopment plan also includes approximately 35,000 square feet of new outparcels to capitalize on the property's location.

Primary Factors Affecting Financial Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018:

  • Net income attributable to PREIT common shareholders was $17.4 million, or $0.22 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to net loss attributable to PREIT common shareholders of $7.6 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2018.
  • Same Store NOI decreased by $3.4 million, or 6.2%. Revenue from new store openings, including contributions from replacement anchors, mitigated the impact of revenue lost to bankruptcies and associated store closings.
  • Non Same Store NOI decreased by $2.2 million primarily driven by anchor closings and associated co-tenancy rents at Valley View and Wyoming Valley Malls and the sale of the Whole Foods parcel at Exton Square.
  • FFO for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $0.63 per share and OP Unit compared to $0.34 per share and OP Unit in the prior year. Adjustments to FFO in the 2019 quarter included $0.38 per share of gain from extinguishment of debt at Wyoming Valley Mall, $0.03 per share of net insurance proceeds related to claims for hurricane damage. Adjustments to FFO in the 2018 quarter included a loss on debt extinguishment and provision for employee separation expenses that totaled $0.01 per share.
  • General and administrative expenses were impacted by the new lease accounting standard that now limits the capitalization of certain leasing costs. We expensed $1.2 million ($0.02 per share) of costs in the three months ended September 30, 2019 that would have been capitalized under the prior standard.

All NOI and FFO amounts referenced as primary factors affecting financial results above include our share of unconsolidated properties' revenues and expenses.  Additional information regarding changes in operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 is included on page 18.

Asset Dispositions
In July 2019, we closed on the sale of a Texas Roadhouse outparcel located at Valley View Mall in LaCrosse, WI for $1.4 million.  We recorded a gain of $1.2 million in connection with this sale.

In September, the Company completed the conveyance of Wyoming Valley Mall back to its mortgage loan lender.  In connection with this transaction, the Company recorded a gain on debt extinguishment of $29.6 million.  The Company had previously recognized an asset impairment loss of approximately $32.2 million.

2019 Outlook
The Company is revising its July 31, 2019 guidance for GAAP net loss allocable to common shareholders to $0.38 and $0.31 per diluted share for the year ending December 31, 2019 due to the inclusion of the gain on conveyance of Wyoming Valley Mall and the factors set forth below.

The Company is revising its July 31, 2019 guidance for FFO as adjusted to $1.08 to $1.14 per share.  FFO is expected to be between $1.37 and $1.44 per share. Same Store NOI, excluding termination revenue, is expected to decline between 2.5% and 1.5% with wholly-owned properties declining 2.1% to 1.1 % and joint venture properties declining between 5.1% and 3.7%.

Key drivers accounting for our change in FFO as adjusted guidance include:

  • Lower land sale gains. Previously, we guided to a range of $8.1 million to $11.1 million. We now expect land sale gains to be in the range of $4.0 million to $4.6 million. At the mid-point, this decrease is $5.3 million, or $0.07 per share. We currently expect to enter into one or more contracts to sell land parcels as part of our multifamily program before the end of 2019, with the first closing anticipated in the first half of 2020.
  • Lower lease termination revenues. Previously, we guided to a range of $3.0 million to $4.0 million based on our historical experience and potential lease terminations. We now expect lease termination fees in a range of $1.4 million to $1.6 million. At the mid-point, this decrease is $2.0 million, or $0.03 per share.
  • A reduction in our Same Store NOI guidance due to the impact of additional bankruptcies in the third and fourth quarters, lower than expected revenues from our common area program and delays in the opening of certain stores, among other factors.

A reconciliation between GAAP net loss and FFO is as follows:

Rounding

Certain summarized information in the tables above may not total due to rounding.

Definitions

Funds From Operations (FFO)

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines FFO, which is a non-GAAP measure commonly used by REITs, as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding (i) depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (ii) gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, (iii) gains and losses from change in control, and (iv) impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition, or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

FFO is a commonly used measure of operating performance and profitability among REITs.  We use FFO and FFO per diluted share and unit of limited partnership interest in our operating partnership ("OP Unit") and, when applicable, related measures such as Funds From Operations, as adjusted, in measuring our performance against our peers and as one of the performance measures for determining incentive compensation amounts earned under certain of our performance-based executive compensation programs. 

FFO does not include gains and losses on sales of operating real estate assets or impairment write downs of depreciable real estate, which are included in the determination of net income in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, FFO is not a comprehensive measure of our operating cash flows. In addition, since FFO does not include depreciation on real estate assets, FFO may not be a useful performance measure when comparing our operating performance to that of other non-real estate commercial enterprises. We compensate for these limitations by using FFO in conjunction with other GAAP financial performance measures, such as net income and net cash provided by operating activities, and other non-GAAP financial performance measures, such as NOI. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our financial performance or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. We believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measurement to FFO.

When applicable, we also present Funds From Operations, as adjusted, and Funds From Operations per diluted share and OP Unit, as adjusted, which are non-GAAP measures, to show the effect of such items as gain or loss on debt extinguishment, accelerated amortization of financing costs, impairment of assets, provision for employee separation expense and insurance recoveries or losses, net, which can have a significant effect on our results of operations, but are not, in our opinion, indicative of our operating performance.  We also present FFO on a further adjusted basis to isolate the impact on FFO caused by property dispositions.

We believe that FFO is helpful to management and investors as a measure of operating performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, such as gains on sales of operating real estate and depreciation and amortization of real estate, among others. We believe that Funds From Operations, as adjusted, is helpful to management and investors as a measure of operating performance because it adjusts FFO to exclude items that management does not believe are indicative of our operating performance, such as provision for employee separation expense, loss on debt extinguishment, accelerated amortization of financing costs and insurance losses and recoveries.

Net Operating Income ("NOI")

NOI (a non-GAAP measure) is derived from real estate revenue (determined in accordance with GAAP, including lease termination revenue), minus property operating expenses (determined in accordance with GAAP), plus our pro rata share of revenue and property operating expenses of our unconsolidated partnership investments. NOI does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our financial performance or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity. It is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.  We believe that NOI is helpful to management and investors as a measure of operating performance because it is an indicator of the return on property investment, and provides a method of comparing property performance over time. We believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measurement to NOI.

NOI excludes other income, general and administrative expenses, provision for employee separation expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment of assets, gains/adjustments to gains on sale of interest in non operating real estate, gain/adjustments to gain on sale of interest in real estate by equity method investee, gains/losses on sales of interests in real estate, net, project costs, gain or loss on debt extinguishment, insurance losses or recoveries, net and other expenses.

Same Store NOI is calculated using retail properties owned for the full periods presented and excludes properties acquired, disposed, under redevelopment or designated as non-core during the periods presented.  In 2018, Wyoming Valley Mall was designated as non-core.  In 2019, Exton Square and Valley View Malls were designated as non-core and will be excluded from Same Store NOI.  Non Same Store NOI is calculated using the retail properties excluded from the calculation of Same Store NOI.

Financial Information of our Unconsolidated Properties

The non-GAAP financial measures of FFO and NOI presented in this press release incorporate financial information attributable to our share of unconsolidated properties. This proportionate financial information is also non-GAAP financial information, but we believe that it is helpful information because it reflects the proportionate contribution from our unconsolidated properties that are owned through investments accounted for under GAAP using the equity method of accounting.  Under such method, earnings from these unconsolidated partnerships are recorded in our statements of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP under the caption entitled "Equity in income of partnerships."

To derive the proportionate financial information from our unconsolidated properties, we multiplied the percentage of our economic interest in each partnership on a property-by-property basis by each line item.  Under the partnership agreements relating to our current unconsolidated partnerships with third parties, we own a 25% to 50% economic interest in such partnerships, and there are generally no provisions in such partnership agreements relating to special non-proportionate allocations of income or loss, and there are no preferred or priority returns of capital or other similar provisions.  While this method approximates our indirect economic interest in our pro rata share of the revenue and expenses of our unconsolidated partnerships, we do not have a direct legal claim to the assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses of the unconsolidated partnerships beyond our rights as an equity owner in the event of any liquidation of such entity.  Our percentage ownership is not necessarily indicative of the legal and economic implications of our ownership interest.  Accordingly, NOI and FFO results based on our share of the results of unconsolidated partnerships do not represent cash generated from our investments in these partnerships.

Core Properties

Core Properties include all operating retail properties except for Exton Square Mall, Valley View Mall and Fashion District Philadelphia.  Core Malls excludes these properties, power centers and Gloucester Premium Outlets.
