First Industrial’s fourth quarter FFO was $0.23 per share/unit on a diluted basis, compared to $0.15 per share/unit last year. Full year 2011 FFO was $0.89 per share/unit on a diluted basis versus $0.80 per share/unit in 2010.
FFO per share results for the fourth quarter of 2011 include a $0.01 per share loss on retirement of debt and a $0.01 per share reversal of impairment on undepreciated real estate. FFO results for the full year 2011 include a $0.06 loss on retirement of debt, $0.02 per share of restructuring charges and an $0.08 per share reversal of impairment on undepreciated assets.
“The First Industrial team continued to deliver on all fronts in 2011 – driving occupancy, strengthening our capital base, and improving our portfolio through targeted asset sales and a return to investing,” said Bruce W. Duncan, First Industrial’s president and CEO. “We are positioned for growth in 2012 by leasing our vacancies and making disciplined new investments, while we continue to refine our portfolio through select asset sales.”
Portfolio Performance for On Balance Sheet Properties – Fourth Quarter 2011
- In-service occupancy was 87.9% at the end of the quarter, up 130 basis points from 86.6% at the end of the third quarter 2011, and up 290 basis points from 85.0% at the end of the fourth quarter of 2010.
- Retained tenants in 69.9% of square footage up for renewal.
- Excluding lease termination fees, same store cash basis net operating income (NOI) increased 0.5%. Including lease termination fees, same store cash basis NOI decreased 1.2%.
- Rental rates decreased 11.3% on a cash basis; leasing costs were $2.93 per square foot.
In the fourth quarter, the Company:
- Closed a new $450 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with a three year term and one year extension option, with interest-only payments currently at LIBOR plus 210 basis points, and a facility fee on the unused portion that ranges from 25-35 basis points.
- Repurchased $6.0 million of its senior unsecured notes due 2028, $5.1 million of its 7.5% senior unsecured notes due 2017, $5.0 million of its 5.95% senior unsecured notes due 2017, $1.1 million of its senior unsecured notes due 2014, and $0.5 million of its senior unsecured notes due 2016.
Investment and Divestment Activities
In the fourth quarter, the Company:
- Completed asset sales for gross proceeds of approximately $12.4 million comprised of five industrial properties totaling approximately 468,000 square feet.
- Acquired its joint venture partner’s 85% interest in a 390,000 square-foot Class A distribution center in Central Pennsylvania for a total investment of $21.8 million at an in-place cap rate of 7.1%.
- Completed the construction of its First Inland Logistics Center development, a 692,000 square-foot state-of-the-art distribution center in Southern California.
First Industrial’s dividend policy is determined by our board of directors, and is dependent on multiple factors, including cash flow and capital expenditure requirements, as well as ensuring we meet the minimum distribution requirements set forth in the Code. We met these requirements in 2011.
Outlook for 2012
Mr. Duncan stated, “Industry fundamentals continue to be good, as leasing markets are active and new supply remains limited largely to bulk distribution centers in select coastal markets. As the economy continues to grow moderately, we expect tenants will continue to absorb industrial space which will benefit our portfolio. We expect our occupancy to decline in the first quarter due to seasonality and known moveouts, and increase over the balance of the year.”

GAAP requires unvested equity based compensation awards that have nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) to be included in the two class method of the computation of EPS. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there was no impact on basic and diluted EPS as participating security holders are not obligated to share in losses. The Company conforms the calculation of FFO and FAD with the calculation of EPS.
b) Represents the Company’s pro rata share of net income (loss), depreciation and amortization on real estate and Non-NAREIT compliant gain (loss).
c) Investors in and analysts following the real estate industry utilize funds from operations (“FFO”), net operating income (“NOI”), EBITDA and funds available for distribution (“FAD”), variously defined, as supplemental performance measures. While the Company believes net income (loss) available to First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stockholders and participating securities, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate measure, it considers FFO, NOI, EBITDA and FAD, given their wide use by and relevance to investors and analysts, appropriate supplemental performance measures. FFO, reflecting the assumption that real estate asset values rise or fall with market conditions, principally adjusts for the effects of GAAP depreciation and amortization of real estate assets. NOI provides a measure of rental operations, and does not factor in depreciation and amortization and non-property specific expenses such as general and administrative expenses. EBITDA provides a tool to further evaluate the ability to incur and service debt and to fund dividends and other cash needs. FAD provides a tool to further evaluate the ability to fund dividends. In addition, FFO, NOI, EBITDA and FAD are commonly used in various ratios, pricing multiples/yields and returns and valuation calculations used to measure financial position, performance and value.
From January 1, 2009 until September 30, 2011, the Company calculated FFO to be equal to net income (loss) available to First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stockholders and participating securities, plus depreciation and amortization on real estate less non-NAREIT compliant gain (loss) in accordance with NAREIT’s definition of FFO. In the fourth quarter of 2011, NAREIT modified its definition of FFO to exclude impairment write downs of depreciable real estate from FFO. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company adopted NAREIT’s updated FFO definition and restated FFO for the year ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 in accordance with NAREIT’s updated FFO definition. The impact of this change was to increase FFO by $4.5 million or $0.05 per share for the year ended December 31, 2011 and to increase FFO by $171.9 million or $2.51 per share for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company also restated the three months ended December 31, 2010. The impact of this change was to increase FFO by $12.3 million or $0.17 per share.
NOI is defined as revenues of the Company, minus property expenses such as real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other expenses. NOI includes NOI from discontinued operations.
EBITDA is defined as NOI plus the equity in FFO of the Company’s joint ventures, which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, plus or minus NAREIT compliant economic gain (loss), plus foreign exchange loss, plus or minus mark-to-market gain or loss on interest rate protection agreements, minus general and administrative expenses. EBITDA includes EBITDA from discontinued operations.
FAD is defined as EBITDA minus GAAP interest expense, minus restructuring costs, minus preferred stock dividends, minus straight-line rental income, minus provision for income taxes or plus benefit for income taxes, minus or plus mark-to-market gain or loss on interest rate protection agreements, plus restricted stock amortization, minus non-incremental capital expenditures. Non-incremental capital expenditures are building improvements and leasing costs required to maintain current revenues. See footnote (aa).
FFO, NOI, EBITDA and FAD do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, including the repayment of principal on debt and payment of dividends and distributions. FFO, NOI, EBITDA and FAD should not be considered as substitutes for net income (loss) available to common stockholders and participating securities (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of results of operations or cash flows (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of liquidity. FFO, NOI, EBITDA and FAD as currently calculated by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled, but variously calculated, measures of other REITs.
In addition, the Company considers cash-basis same store NOI (“SS NOI”) to be a useful supplemental measure of its operating performance. Same store properties, for the period beginning January 1, 2011, include all properties owned prior to January 1, 2010 and held as an operating property through the end of the current reporting period, and developments and redevelopments that were placed in service or were substantially completed for 12 months prior to January 1, 2010 (the “Same Store Pool”). The Company defines SS NOI as NOI, less NOI of properties not in the Same Store Pool, less the impact of straight-line rent, the amortization of lease inducements and the amortization of above/below market rent. For the quarters ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, NOI was $55,091 and $57,422, respectively; NOI of properties not in the Same Store Pool was $(269) and $950, respectively; the impact of straight-line rent, the amortization of lease inducements and the amortization of above/below market rent was $1,940 and $2,396, respectively. The Company excludes straight-line rent, amortization of lease inducements and above/below market rent in calculating SS NOI because the Company believes it provides a better measure of actual cash basis rental growth for a year-over-year comparison. In addition, the Company believes that SS NOI helps the investing public compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate as compared to other companies. While SS NOI is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of real estate investment trusts, it does not represent cash flow from operations or net income (loss) as defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. SS NOI also does not reflect general and administrative expenses, interest expenses, depreciation and amortization costs, capital expenditures and leasing costs, or trends in development and construction activities that could materially impact our results from operations. Further, the Company’s computation of SS NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating SS NOI.http://tourism9.com/ http://vkins.com/
