Exhibit 99.1
ONE LIBERTY PROPERTIES REPORTS SECOND QUARTER
2021 RESULTS
GREAT NECK, New York, August 4, 2021 — One Liberty Properties, Inc. (NYSE: OLP), a real estate investment trust focused on net leased properties, today announced operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.
“As we emphasize acquiring industrial assets, given the competitive environment for these properties, we will continue to realize value from the sale of assets that have achieved maximum value for us while remaining disciplined in allocating capital,” stated Patrick J. Callan, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of One Liberty. “The team remains focused on generating the cash flow required to support and grow our dividend and build value for stockholders.”
Operating Results:
Rental income was $20.3 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared to $20.9 million in the second quarter of 2020. The change is due primarily to the sale of two properties in December 2020.
Total operating expenses in the second quarter of 2021 were $12.9 million compared to $12.6 million for the second quarter of 2020. The change is due primarily to the increase in non-cash compensation expense.
Gain on sale of real estate in the second quarter of 2021 was $21.5 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, before giving effect to the related $799,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, swap termination charge. The gain was realized from the previously reported sale of the property tenanted by Whole Foods located in Hartford, Connecticut.
Net income attributable to One Liberty in the second quarter of 2021 was $23.3 million, or $1.12 per diluted share, compared to $2.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2020. Net income for the 2021 quarter includes the gain on the sale of the Whole Foods property.
Adjusted Funds from Operations, or AFFO1, was $10.2 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to $9.5 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, for the corresponding quarter in the prior year. Contributing to the increase in the current quarter in AFFO and AFFO per diluted share was a reduction in interest expense offset and an increase in rental income before the effect of straight-line rent accruals.
| 1 | A reconciliation of GAAP amounts to non-GAAP amounts (i.e., FFO and AFFO) is presented with the financial information included in this release. |
Funds from Operations, or FFO, was $7.7 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2021, compared to $8.2 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2020. Contributing to the change in the current quarter in FFO and FFO per diluted per share were the factors contributing to the change in AFFO as well as the inclusion, in the 2020 quarter, of straight-line rent accruals related to lease extensions for several tenants whose rents were abated during the 2020 quarter, and an increase, in the current quarter, in non-cash compensation expense.
Gains on property sales are excluded from the calculation of FFO and AFFO.
Diluted per share net income, FFO and AFFO were impacted negatively in the quarter ended June 30, 2021 by an average increase of approximately 691,000 in the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding as a result of issuances, in July and October 2020, of stock in lieu of a portion of cash dividends, and issuances of stock in connection with the Company’s dividend reinvestment and equity incentive programs.
Balance Sheet:
At June 30, 2021, the Company had $16.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, total assets of $753.3 million, total debt of $408.6 million, and total stockholders’ equity of $303.8 million.
At August 2, 2021, One Liberty’s available liquidity was approximately $105.7 million, including $10.6 million of cash and cash equivalents (including the credit facility’s required $3.0 million average deposit maintenance balance) and $95.1 million available under its credit facility.
Subsequent Events:
On July 1, 2021, One Liberty sold a vacant retail property in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania owned by a consolidated joint venture in which it had a 90% interest for $8.3 million. The Company anticipates that it will recognize, during the third quarter, a $1.3 million gain from this sale, of which the Company’s share will be $1.2 million.
On July 12, 2021, an unconsolidated joint venture in which the Company has a 50% interest sold a portion of a land parcel located in Savannah, Georgia for $2.7 million. The Company anticipates that its share of the gain from this sale, which it will recognize in the third quarter, will be $801,000.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
One Liberty computes FFO in accordance with the “White Paper on Funds from Operations” issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) and NAREIT’s related guidance. FFO is defined in the White Paper as net income (calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control, impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities where the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.
2
One Liberty computes AFFO by adjusting from FFO for straight-line rent accruals and amortization of lease intangibles, deducting lease termination fees and adding back amortization of restricted stock compensation, amortization of costs in connection with its financing activities (including its share of its unconsolidated joint ventures) and debt prepayment costs. Since the NAREIT White Paper does not provide guidelines for computing AFFO, the computation of AFFO may vary from one REIT to another.
One Liberty believes that FFO and AFFO are useful and standard supplemental measures of the operating performance for equity REITs and are used frequently by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating equity REITs, many of which present FFO and AFFO when reporting their operating results. FFO and AFFO are intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminish predictability over time. In fact, real estate values have historically risen and fallen with market conditions. As a result, management believes that FFO and AFFO provide a performance measure that when compared year over year, should reflect the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, interest costs and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation and amortization, providing a perspective that may not be necessarily apparent from net income. Management also considers FFO and AFFO to be useful in evaluating potential property acquisitions.
FFO and AFFO do not represent net income or cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP. FFO and AFFO should not be an alternative to net income as a reliable measure of our operating performance nor as an alternative to cash flows as measures of liquidity. FFO and AFFO do not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of the Company’s cash needs.
Forward Looking Statement:
Certain information contained in this press release, together with other statements and information publicly disseminated by One Liberty Properties, Inc. is forward looking within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend such forward looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provision for forward looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and include this statement for the purpose of complying with these safe harbor provisions. You should not rely on forward looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect actual results, performance or achievements. Information regarding risks, uncertainties and factors that could cause actual outcomes or other events to differ materially from any such forward looking statements appear under “Forward Looking Statements”, “Risk Factors” or “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Annual Report”), and the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) filed after the filing of the Annual Report. Currently, one of the most significant uncertainties the Company is facing is the resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact, and potential impact, on the Company’s and its tenants’ financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance, the real estate market and the global economy and financial markets. The extent to which the resurgence of the pandemic impacts the Company and its tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence. Investors are cautioned to interpret the risks, challenges and uncertainties discussed in the Annual Report and the Company’s other filings with the SEC as being heightened as a result of the adverse impacts of the resurgent pandemic.
