"We delivered a strong quarter and raised the mid-point of our full-year Core FFO range, while also achieving our strategic objectives to elevate the quality of our portfolio and strengthen our balance sheet," said Paul T. McDermott, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Financial Summary

Net income attributable to the controlling interests for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was $31.8 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, compared to $(2.5) million, or $(0.04) per diluted share, for the corresponding prior year period, primarily due to the recognition of a $24.1 million gain on the first suburban Maryland office portfolio sale transaction.

NAREIT FFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was $32.9 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, compared to $22.6 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the corresponding prior year period.

Core FFO(1) was $33.4 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, compared to $28.5 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, for the corresponding prior year period. Further detail will be provided by management on the earnings call.

Operating Results

The Company's overall portfolio NOI(2) was $51.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, compared to $47.0 million in the corresponding prior year period. Overall portfolio physical occupancy for the second quarter was at 91.1%, compared to 90.0% at the end of the second quarter last year and 90.6% at the end of the first quarter 2016. Overall percentage leased was 94.1% as of June 30, 2016.

Same-store(3) portfolio physical occupancy for the second quarter of 2016 was 92.7%, compared to 93.3% at June 30, 2015 and 92.2% at the end of the first quarter of 2016. Same-store portfolio NOI for the second quarter increased by 3.9%, compared to the corresponding prior year period.

  • Office: 53% of Total NOI - Office properties' same-store NOI increased by 5.7% compared to the corresponding prior year period, primarily due to rental rate growth of  2.1% and higher reimbursements for operating expenses. Same-store physical occupancy decreased 40 basis points over last year to 91.8%, and the same-store office portfolio was approximately 92.5% leased as of June 30, 2016.

  • Retail: 22% of Total NOI - Retail properties' same-store NOI decreased slightly by (0.9%) compared to the corresponding prior year period, primarily due to an increase in real estate taxes stemming from rising property assessment values across the retail portfolio. Rental rates increased 3.2% while same-store physical occupancy decreased by 200 basis points over last year to 92.1%, substantially due to re-tenanted space that has not commenced. The same-store retail portfolio was approximately 94.0% leased as of June 30, 2016.

  • Multifamily: 25% of Total NOI - Multifamily properties' same-store NOI increased by 5.9% compared to the corresponding prior year period, partly driven by operating expense savings and an absence of the concessions that were offered at select properties last year. Rental rates increased by 20 basis points, while same-store physical occupancy on a square-footage basis increased 50 basis points over last year to 94.8%. The same-store multifamily portfolio was approximately 98.0% leased as of June 30, 2016.

Leasing Activity

During the second quarter, Washington REIT signed commercial leases totaling 74,000 square feet, including 34,000 square feet of new leases and 40,000 square feet of renewal leases, as follows (all dollar amounts are on a per square foot basis):

Acquisition Activity

On May 20, 2016, the Company closed the previously announced acquisition of Riverside Apartments, an apartment community in Alexandria, VA, consisting of 1,222 units and potential onsite density to develop approximately 550 additional units, for $244.8 million. Riverside Apartments consists of three, 15-story buildings over 28 acres of land located in close proximity to Metro, near the intersection of Route 1 and the Capital Beltway and in the heart of the dynamic Huntington Metro corridor in Fairfax County, Virginia.

Disposition Activity

On May 26, 2016, the Company sold a parcel of land at Dulles Station II in Herndon, Virginia for $12.1 million.

On June 27, 2016, Washington REIT completed the first of two sale transactions of its suburban Maryland office portfolio comprising approximately 692,000 square feet for aggregate sales proceeds of $111.5 million. The first sale transaction included 6110 Executive Boulevard, West Gude Drive, Wayne Plaza and 600 Jefferson Plaza. As previously announced, Washington REIT’s remaining Maryland office assets (51 Monroe and One Central Plaza) are also under contract to be sold. This additional sale is expected to close late in the third quarter of 2016.

Washington REIT recently placed a multifamily asset, Walker House Apartments in Gaithersburg, MD, in the market to complete its planned suburban Maryland asset sales. The Company is also exploring the sale of another legacy suburban office asset.

Capital Update

At the end of April 2016, Washington REIT issued 5.3 million shares through a public offering, which raised gross proceeds before expenses and underwriting costs of approximately $150.0 million.

In the first half of 2016, the Company paid down approximately $166.0 million of secured debt, of which $81.8 million was paid down in the second quarter. The Company is targeting a reduction of secured debt by a total of $266.0 million in 2016.

On July 22, 2016, Washington REIT entered into a seven year $150.0 million unsecured term loan maturing on July 21, 2023 with a deferred draw period of up to six months. The Company expects to draw on the term loan in the fourth quarter or early in January 2017 to refinance maturing secured debt. Washington REIT entered into a forward swap from floating interest rates to a 2.86% all-in fixed interest rate for $150.0 million commencing on March 31, 2017. The term loan fits well on Washington REIT's debt maturity ladder and helps to strengthen its balance sheet. Capital One, National Association and U.S. Bank National Association served as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners and are the administrative agent and syndication agent, respectively. The Bank of New York Mellon and Branch Banking and Trust Company also participated.

Earnings Guidance

Management is tightening the 2016 Core FFO guidance range to $1.74 to $1.77 from $1.70 to $1.77 per fully diluted share, raising the mid-point by 2 cents. The following assumptions are incorporated into the tightened guidance range:

  • Same-store NOI growth is projected to be approximately 1%, from a previous range of flat to 1%
  • Same-store office NOI growth is projected to be approximately 1%, from approximately flat previously
  • Same-store multifamily NOI growth is projected to range from 3% to 3.5%, from a previous range of 1% to 2%
  • Same-store retail NOI growth is projected to range from (1.5)% to (1)%, from a previous range of (0.5)% to flat, primarily due to real estate tax increases and the timing of lease commencements
  • Silverline Center is expected to contribute $7.1 to $7.6 million of NOI
  • The Maxwell is expected to contribute $2.5 to $2.7 million of NOI
  • The Company does not currently expect to close further acquisitions in 2016 and plans to complete the suburban Maryland portfolio sale by closing on the contracted sale of 51 Monroe and One Central Plaza, and by selling Walker House, a multifamily asset located in Gaithersburg, MD
  • General and administrative expense is projected to be approximately $19.5 million, excluding any severance expense
  • Interest expense is projected to be approximately $53 to $54 million, from a previous range of $56 to $57 million

Washington REIT's 2016 Core FFO guidance is based on a number of factors, many of which are outside its control and all of which are subject to change. Washington REIT may change its guidance during the year as actual and anticipated results vary from these assumptions.

2016 Guidance Reconciliation Table

A reconciliation of projected net income attributable to the controlling interests per diluted share to projected Core FFO per diluted share for the year ending December 31, 2016 is as follows:

 

  Low High
Net income attributable to the controlling interests per diluted share (a) $ 0.64   $ 0.67  
Real estate depreciation and amortization (b) 1.45   1.45  
Gain on sale of real estate (0.33 ) (0.33 )
All other core adjustments (0.02 ) (0.02 )

(a) Only gains on sale of real estate through June 30, 2016 have been included.
(b) Does not include any impact from acquisitions and dispositions for the remainder of the year.

Certain statements in our earnings release and on our conference call are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements in this earnings release preceded by, followed by or that include the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “potential,” “project,” “will” and other similar expressions. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, the potential for federal government budget reductions, changes in general and local economic and real estate market conditions, the risk of failure to complete contemplated acquisitions and dispositions, the timing and pricing of lease transactions, the availability and cost of capital, fluctuations in interest rates, tenants' financial conditions, levels of competition, the effect of government regulation, the impact of newly adopted accounting principles, and other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our filings with the SEC, including our 2015 Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. We assume no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements that become untrue because of subsequent events.

(1) Funds From Operations (“FFO”) - The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”) defines FFO (April, 2002 White Paper) as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)) excluding gains (or losses) associated with sales of property, impairment of depreciable real estate and real estate depreciation and amortization. FFO is a non-GAAP measure and does not replace net income as a measure of performance or net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity. We consider FFO to be a standard supplemental measure for real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) because it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of our properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which historically assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have instead historically risen or fallen with market conditions, we believe that FFO more accurately provides investors an indication of our ability to incur and service debt, make capital expenditures and fund other needs.

Core Funds From Operations (“Core FFO”) is calculated by adjusting FFO for the following items (which we believe are not indicative of the performance of Washington REIT's operating portfolio and affect the comparative measurement of Washington REIT's operating performance over time): (1) gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, (2) expenses related to acquisition and structuring activities, (3) executive transition costs and severance expense related to corporate reorganization and related to executive retirements or resignations, (4) property impairments, casualty gains, and gains or losses on sale not already excluded from FFO, as appropriate, and (5) relocation expense. These items can vary greatly from period to period, depending upon the volume of our acquisition activity and debt retirements, among other factors. We believe that by excluding these items, Core FFO serves as a useful, supplementary measure of Washington REIT's ability to incur and service debt and to distribute dividends to its shareholders.  Core FFO is a non-GAAP and non-standardized measure and may be calculated differently by other REITs.

(2) Net Operating Income (“NOI”), defined as real estate rental revenue less real estate expenses, is a non-GAAP measure. NOI is calculated as net income, less non-real estate revenue and the results of discontinued operations (including the gain on sale, if any), plus interest expense, depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, acquisition costs, real estate impairment and gain or loss on extinguishment of debt. We also present NOI on a cash basis ("cash NOI") which is calculated as NOI less the impact of straight-lining of rent and amortization of market intangibles. We provide NOI as a supplement to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP. As such, it should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our operating performance. It is the primary performance measure we use to assess the results of our operations at the property level.

(3) For purposes of evaluating comparative operating performance, we categorize our properties as “same-store” or “non-same-store”. A same-store property is one that was owned for the entirety of the periods being evaluated and excludes properties under redevelopment or development and properties purchased or sold at any time during the periods being compared. A non-same-store property is one that was acquired, under redevelopment or development, or placed into service during either of the periods being evaluated. We define redevelopment properties as those for which we expect to spend significant development and construction costs on existing or acquired buildings pursuant to a formal plan which has a current impact on operating results, occupancy and the ability to lease space with the intended result of a higher economic return on the property. Properties under redevelopment or development are included within the non-same-store properties beginning in the period during which redevelopment or development activities commence. Redevelopment and development properties are included in the same-store pool upon completion of the redevelopment or development, and the earlier of achieving 90% occupancy or two years after completion.

(4) Funds Available for Distribution (“FAD”) is a non-GAAP measure. It is calculated by subtracting from FFO (1) recurring expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing costs, that are capitalized and amortized and are necessary to maintain our properties and revenue stream (excluding items contemplated prior to acquisition or associated with development / redevelopment of a property) and (2) straight line rents, then adding (3) non-real estate depreciation and amortization, (4) non-cash fair value interest expense and (5) amortization of restricted share compensation, then adding or subtracting the (6) amortization of lease intangibles, (7) real estate impairment and (8) non-cash gain/loss on extinguishment of debt, as appropriate. FAD is included herein, because we consider it to be a measure of a REIT’s ability to incur and service debt and to distribute dividends to its shareholders. FAD is a non-GAAP and non-standardized measure, and may be calculated differently by other REITs.

(i) A same-store properties include properties that were owned for the entirety of the current reporting period and the prior year, and exclude properties under redevelopment or development and properties purchased or sold at any time during the current reporting period and the prior year. We define redevelopment properties as those for which we expect to spend significant development and construction costs on existing or acquired buildings pursuant to a formal plan which has a current impact on operating results, occupancy and the ability to lease space with the intended result of a higher economic return on the property. Properties under redevelopment or development are excluded same-store properties beginning in the period during which redevelopment or develop activities commence. We consider properties to no longer be under redevelopment or development upon substantial completion of the redevelopment or development activities, and the earlier of achieving 90% occupancy or two years after completion. For Q2 2016 and Q2 2015, same-store properties exclude: 

Multifamily Acquisitions: The Wellington and Riverside Apartments;
