"This was a very productive quarter for EPR. Not only is deal velocity increasing, but the credit profile of our asset base has significantly strengthened," commented Greg Silvers, President and CEO. "Furthermore, the market's support of our experiential strategy has allowed us to issue all the equity needed to fund our upsized investment spending guidance, while also de-leveraging our balance sheet. As a result, we believe we are well positioned to take advantage of increasing interest in experiential assets and the opportunities presented."
Portfolio Update
The Company's investment portfolio (excluding property under development) consisted of the following at June 30, 2019:
-
The Entertainment segment included investments in 176 megaplex theatre properties, seven entertainment retail centers (which include seven additional megaplex theatre properties) and 12 other entertainment properties. The Company's portfolio of owned entertainment properties consisted of 14.7 million square feet and was 99% leased, including megaplex theatres that were 100% leased.
-

-

The Company currently has ski investments in Vail's NorthStar California Resort and eight Peak properties located in four states. The Company expects to continue holding these investments with no structural changes. If the transaction had been consummated at June 30, 2019, Vail would have been one of the Company's top five customers by revenue during the second quarter.

The Company's investment spending for the three months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $391.9 million (bringing the year-to-date investment spending to $566.5 million), and included investments in each of its operating segments:
-
Entertainment investment spending during the three months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $311.6 million, including spending on the acquisition of 19 megaplex theatres totaling $284.5 million, and build-to-suit development and redevelopment of megaplex theatres, entertainment retail centers and other entertainment properties.

Capital Recycling
During the second quarter of 2019, pursuant to tenant purchase options, the Company completed the sale of four public charter schools for net proceeds totaling $46.7 million and recognized a combined gain on sale of $8.2 million.

Balance Sheet Update
The Company had a net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure) of 5.8x at June 30, 2019. The repayment in full of the $189.7 million Schlitterbahn mortgage notes received after quarter-end, which was applied to reduce the outstanding amount on the Company's line of credit, reduced this ratio to within management's normal expected range. The Company had $6.9 million of unrestricted cash on hand and a $240.0 million outstanding balance under its $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility at June 30, 2019.
During the quarter, the Company issued 2.0 million common shares under its Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Share Purchase Plan (DSPP) for net proceeds of $157.6 million bringing the year to date issuances under this plan to 3.1 million common shares for net proceeds of $236.6 million.

The Company declared regular monthly cash dividends during the second quarter of 2019 totaling $1.125 per common share. This dividend represents an annualized dividend of $4.50 per common share, an increase of 4.2% over the prior year, and is the Company's ninth consecutive year with a significant annual dividend increase.
The Company also declared second quarter cash dividends of $0.359375 per share on its 5.75% Series C cumulative convertible preferred shares, $0.5625 per share on its 9.00% Series E cumulative convertible preferred shares and $0.359375 per share on its 5.75% Series G cumulative redeemable preferred shares.
2019 Guidance
The Company's updated 2019 guidance for net income per diluted share is $2.99 to $3.15. The Company is narrowing its guidance for 2019 FFO as adjusted per diluted share to a range of $5.32 to $5.48 from a range of $5.30 to $5.50 and increasing its 2019 investment spending guidance to a range of $700.0 million to $850.0 million from a range of $600.0 million to $800.0 million. The Company is confirming its 2019 expected disposition proceeds range of $300.0 million to $400.0 million.
FFO as adjusted guidance for 2019 is based on FFO per diluted share of $4.92 to $5.05 adjusted for estimated transaction costs, termination fees related to public charter schools, deferred income tax benefit and the impact of Series C and Series E dilution. FFO per diluted share is based on a net income per diluted share range of $2.99 to $3.15 less estimated gain on sale of real estate of a range of $0.30 to $0.33 and the impact of Series C and Series E dilution of $0.04, plus estimated real estate depreciation of $2.24 and allocated share of joint venture depreciation of $0.03 (in accordance with the NAREIT definition of FFO).

NAREIT developed FFO as a relative non-GAAP financial measure of performance of an equity REIT in order to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP and management provides FFO herein because it believes this information is useful to investors in this regard. FFO is a widely used measure of the operating performance of real estate companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure to GAAP net income available to common shareholders and earnings per share. Pursuant to the definition of FFO by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, the Company calculates FFO as net income available to common shareholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains and losses from disposition of real estate and impairment losses on real estate, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other affiliates. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other affiliates are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. The Company has calculated FFO for all periods presented in accordance with this definition. In addition to FFO, the Company presents FFO as adjusted (FFOAA). Management believes it is useful to provide FFOAA as a supplemental measure to GAAP net income available to common shareholders and earnings per share. FFOAA is FFO plus costs (gain) associated with loan refinancing or payoff, transaction costs, severance expense, litigation settlement expense, preferred share redemption costs, termination fees associated with tenants' exercises of education properties buy-out options, impairment of direct financing lease (allowance for lease loss portion) and provision for loan losses, and by subtracting gain on early extinguishment of debt, gain on insurance recovery and deferred tax benefit (expense). FFO and FFOAA are non-GAAP financial measures. FFO and FFOAA do not represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and are not indicative that cash flows are adequate to fund all cash needs and are not to be considered an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measure as a measurement of the results of the Company's operations, cash flows or liquidity as defined by GAAP. It should also be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO or FFOAA the same way so comparisons of each of these non-GAAP measures with other REITs may not be meaningful.

The conversion of the 5.75% Series C cumulative convertible preferred shares and the 9.00% Series E cumulative convertible preferred shares would be dilutive to FFO and FFOAA per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. Therefore, the additional 2.2 million common shares and 1.6 million common shares that would result from the conversion and the corresponding add-back of the preferred dividends declared on those shares are included in the calculation of diluted FFO per share and diluted FFOAA per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.
The conversion of the 5.75% Series C cumulative convertible preferred shares would be dilutive to FFO and FFOAA per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. Therefore, the additional 2.1 million common shares that would result from the conversion and the corresponding add-back of the preferred dividends declared on those shares are included in the calculation of diluted FFO per share and diluted FFOAA per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.
The conversion of the 9.00% Series E cumulative convertible preferred shares would not be dilutive to FFO per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. Therefore, the additional 1.6 million common shares that would result from the conversion and the corresponding add-back of the preferred dividends declared on those shares are not included in the calculation of diluted FFO per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio
Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio is a supplemental measure derived from non-GAAP financial measures the Company uses to evaluate its capital structure and the magnitude of its debt against its operating performance. The Company believes that investors commonly use versions of this ratio in a similar manner. In addition, financial institutions use versions of this ratio in connection with debt agreements to set pricing and covenant limitations. The Company's method of calculating Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Reconciliations of debt and net income (both reported in accordance with GAAP) to Net Debt, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA, and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio (each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure) are included in the following tables (unaudited, in thousands):

Net Debt represents debt (reported in accordance with GAAP) adjusted to exclude deferred financing costs, net and reduced for cash and cash equivalents. By excluding deferred financing costs, net and reducing debt for cash and cash equivalents on hand, the result provides an estimate of the contractual amount of borrowed capital to be repaid, net of cash available to repay it. The Company believes this calculation constitutes a beneficial supplemental non-GAAP financial disclosure to investors in understanding our financial condition. The Company's method of calculating Net Debt may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

NAREIT developed EBITDAre as a relative non-GAAP financial measure of REITs, independent of a company's capital structure, to provide a uniform basis to measure the enterprise value of a company. Pursuant to the definition of EBITDAre by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, the Company calculates EBITDAre as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding interest expense (net), income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from disposition of real estate, impairment losses on real estate, costs (gain) associated with loan refinancing or payoff and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other affiliates.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Management provides EBITDAre herein because it believes this information is useful to investors as a supplemental performance measure as it can help facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and with other REITs. EBITDAre does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP and is not indicative that cash flows are adequate to fund all cash needs and is not to be considered an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measure as a measurement of the results of the Company's operations or cash flows or liquidity as defined by GAAP.
|
|
|
|
|
(D)
|
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA in its analysis of the performance of the business and operations of the Company. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it excludes various items that management believes are not indicative of operating performance, and that it is an informative measure to use in computing various financial ratios to evaluate the Company. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDAre (defined above) excluding gain on insurance recovery, severance expense, litigation settlement expense, impairment of direct financing lease (allowance for lease loss portion), the provision for loan losses, transaction costs and prepayment fees, and which is then multiplied by four to get an annual amount.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Company's method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance under GAAP, does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. This measure should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating the Company's performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
