Business Wire 2-May-2019 4:15 PM

Camden Property Trust (NYSE:CPT) announced today operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders ("EPS"), Funds from Operations ("FFO"), and Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO") for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are detailed below. A reconciliation of EPS to FFO is included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.

       
    Three Months Ended
March 31
Per Diluted Share     2019     2018
EPS $0.40     $0.41
FFO $1.22 $1.15
AFFO     $1.12     $1.04
             
    Quarterly Growth     Sequential Growth
Same Property Results     1Q19 vs. 1Q18     1Q19 vs. 4Q18
Revenues 3.7% 0.8%
Expenses 3.8% 3.5%
Net Operating Income ("NOI")     3.6%     (0.6)%
                   
Same Property Results     1Q19     1Q18     4Q18
Occupancy     95.8 %     95.4 %     95.8 %
           

"We are pleased to report another quarter of strong performance, with same property growth and FFO per share slightly better than anticipated," said Richard J. Campo, Camden's Chairman and CEO. "As a result, we are raising the midpoints of our 2019 guidance for both same property revenue and same property NOI growth to 3.4% each, an improvement of 10 basis points for each category. We are maintaining the midpoint of our 2019 FFO guidance at $5.07 per share, as we expect the impact of our recent equity offering to be offset by our improved same property growth outlook as well as the adjusted timing of real estate and capital market transactions."

For 2019, the Company defines same property communities as communities owned and stabilized since January 1, 2018, excluding communities under redevelopment and properties held for sale. A reconciliation of net income to NOI and same property NOI is included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.

Construction was completed during the quarter at Camden North End I in Phoenix, AZ and Camden Grandview II in Charlotte, NC, and lease-up was completed at Camden Shady Grove in Rockville, MD. The Company also commenced construction at Camden North End II in Phoenix, AZ.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized $248.6 million of property revenue which consisted of approximately $220.1 million of rental revenue and approximately $28.5 million of amounts received under contractual terms for other services considered to be non-lease components within our lease contracts. This compares to property revenue of $230.7 million recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2018, made up of approximately $203.5 million of rental revenue and approximately $27.2 million of amounts received under contractual terms for other services considered to be non-lease components within our lease contracts.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

DEFINITIONS & RECONCILIATIONS

     

(In thousands, except per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

 

This document contains certain non-GAAP financial measures management believes are useful in evaluating an equity REIT's performance. Camden's definitions and calculations of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those used by other REITs, and thus may not be comparable. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our operating performance, or to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

 

FFO

 

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") currently defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP")), excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains (or losses) from the sale of certain real estate assets (depreciable real estate), impairments of certain real estate assets (depreciable real estate), gains or losses from change in control, and adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures to reflect FFO on the same basis. Our calculation of diluted FFO also assumes conversion of all potentially dilutive securities, including certain non-controlling interests, which are convertible into common shares. We consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance because, by excluding gains or losses on dispositions of depreciable real estate, and depreciation, FFO can assist in the comparison of the operating performance of a company's real estate investments between periods or to different companies. The FFO definition as restated in 2018 allows companies an option to also exclude gains and losses on sales or impairment charges on real estate assets incidental to a company's business. We did not elect this option, and as a result, the definition of FFO as restated did not have an impact on our calculation upon adoption on January 1, 2019. A reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to FFO is provided below:

 

Adjusted FFO

 

In addition to FFO, we compute Adjusted FFO ("AFFO") as a supplemental measure of operating performance. AFFO is calculated utilizing FFO less recurring capital expenditures which are necessary to help preserve the value of and maintain the functionality at our communities. Our definition of recurring capital expenditures may differ from other REITs, and there can be no assurance our basis for computing this measure is comparable to other REITs. A reconciliation of FFO to AFFO is provided below:

Expected FFO

 

Expected FFO is calculated in a method consistent with historical FFO, and is considered an appropriate supplemental measure of expected operating performance when compared to expected earnings per common share (EPS).  Guidance excludes gains, if any, on properties not currently held for sale due to the uncertain timing and extent of property dispositions and the resulting gains/losses on sales.  A reconciliation of the ranges provided for diluted EPS to expected FFO per diluted share is provided below:

Net Operating Income (NOI)

 

NOI is defined by the Company as property revenue less property operating and maintenance expenses less real estate taxes. NOI is further detailed in the Components of Property NOI schedules on page 11 of the supplement. The Company considers NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance to net income attributable to common shareholders because it reflects the operating performance of our communities without allocation of corporate level property management overhead or general and administrative costs. A reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to net operating income is provided below:

Adjusted EBITDA

 

Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, including net operating income from discontinued operations, excluding equity in (income) loss of joint ventures, (gain) loss on sale of unconsolidated joint venture interests, gain on acquisition of controlling interest in joint ventures, gain on sale of operating properties including land, net of tax, loss on early retirement of debt and income (loss) allocated to non-controlling interests. The Company considers Adjusted EBITDA to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance to net income attributable to common shareholders because it represents income before non-cash depreciation and the cost of debt, and excludes gains or losses from property dispositions. Annualized Adjusted EBITDA is Adjusted EBITDA as reported for the period multiplied by 4 for quarter results. A reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to Adjusted EBITDA is provided below:
