EXHIBIT 99.1
WEINGARTEN REALTY INVESTORS ANNOUNCES
THIRD QUARTER EARNINGSFUNDS FROM
OPERATIONS INCREASE 33%
Houston, Texas, October 25, 2001: Weingarten Realty Investors (NYSE:WRI)
announced today the results of its third quarter, ended September 30, 2001.
- Funds from Operations (FFO), increased to $38.4 million, up from $28.9
million for the third quarter of 2000, a 32.8% increase. On a diluted per share
basis, FFO increased to $1.18 per share as compared to $1.07 per share for the
third quarter of the prior year, a 10.3% increase. For the first nine months of
the year, FFO increased to $3.38 per diluted share, up from $3.15 per share for
the same time period in 2000. In whole dollars, FFO rose to $107.1 million
during the first nine months as compared to $84.5 million for the first nine
months of 2000.
- Rental revenues for the third quarter increased to $81.4 million, up from
$61.8 million for the third quarter of 2000 for a 31.7% increase. For the first
nine months, rental revenues increased to $224.9 million as compared to $179.5
million for the same time period of the prior year.
- Net income for the third quarter of 2001 totaled $27.4 million or $.69 per
diluted share as compared to $19.9 million or $.55 per share for the third
quarter of 2000 for a 37.9% increase on a whole dollar basis. For the first
nine months, net income rose to $78.8 million or $2.01 per diluted share, up
from $59.3 million or $1.65 per share for the first nine months of the prior
year.
- Occupancy for the overall portfolio was reported at 92.4% for the third
quarter of 2001 as compared to 92.8% for the third quarter of 2000.
- The Board of Trust Managers declared a dividend of $.79 per common share
for the third quarter of 2001, up from $.75 per common share for the third
quarter of 2000, a 5.3% increase. The dividend is payable on December 14, 2001
to shareholders of record on December 3, 2001.
In announcing the results for the third quarter and the first nine months, Drew
Alexander, President and Chief Executive Officer, attributed the strong
increases to the Company's acquisition and new development programs as well as
the increase in rental rates on new leases and renewals. He noted that rental
increases averaged 10.6% on a same space basis and that net of capital costs,
the average increase was 7.6%. The Company reported a total of 690 new leases
or renewals for the first nine months of the year totaling 3.2 million square
feet. Net operating income on a same-property basis increased 3.9% for the
first nine months of 2001 as compared to the same period of 2000.
Alexander also reported that the Company added two shopping centers to its
Florida portfolio during the quarter bringing that state's total to six
properties aggregating over 1.2 million square feet. For the first nine months,
WRI reported 28 acquisitions, all anchored retail properties that added 4.0
million square feet to the portfolio and represented an investment of $428
million. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, WRI acquired Oak Hill I
and II, adjacent industrial properties located in Austin, Texas. The Company
also disposed of five properties during the first nine months of the year
including three retail centers and interests in two mini-storage warehouses that
no longer met the Company's continued ownership criteria.
"The third quarter was a productive period for us as we concentrated on adding
quality properties to the portfolio, enhancing our existing portfolio and
remaining on schedule with our new developments", stated Alexander. "We are
very pleased with our strong results for the first nine months and anticipate
continued growth in the fourth quarter even as the economy remains sluggish", he
added. Alexander noted that the Company's core portfolio of neighborhood and
community shopping centers is very stable due to the core tenant base of
retailers that provide basic, everyday necessities such as groceries and drugs.
During the third quarter, the Company also announced plans for three new
developments that will be located in Texas, Louisiana and Colorado. The three
new projects bring WRI's total new developments to 18, all of which will be
anchored by a supermarket or a major discount store.
Alexander further reported that the Company sold $200 million of 10-year
unsecured notes at an all-in rate to the Company of 6.91%. Net proceeds were
used to pay down amounts outstanding under its revolving credit facility,
according to Alexander. The Company also entered into a $50 million unsecured
term loan under the same terms (50 basis points over LIBOR) as the Company's
$350 million revolving credit facility. The Company also completed $107 million
of reverse interest rate swaps which converted the interest on a like amount of
fixed-rate medium term notes to floating rates. According to Alexander, these
transactions were executed in order to continue the Company's strategy of
maintaining a strong yet conservative capital structure with constant access to
a variety of capital sources.
The Company also announced that it has had ongoing discussions with the
Securities and Exchange Commission regarding its accounting treatment for joint
ventures and partnerships. Based on the SEC's current position regarding those
factors that constitute control, the Company revised its accounting for 17 of
its 29 joint ventures and partnerships. As a result, on these 17 joint ventures,
the Company will change from the full consolidation method with minority
interest to the equity method of accounting. The change has no effect on funds
from operations, net income or shareholders' equity. The Company announced it
will file an amended Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 and amended
Form 10-Qs for the first two quarters of 2001. All amounts included in this
press release were prepared under the new methodology as will the Form 10-Q for
the third quarter of 2001 (to be filed in November).
It was also reported that the Board of Trust Managers declared dividends on the
Company's preferred shares. The 7.44% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred
Shares (NYSE:WRIPrA) dividend of $.465 per share is payable on December 31, 2001
to shareholders of record on December 15, 2001. The 7.125% Series B Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Shares dividend of $.4453 per share is payable on December
17, 2001 to shareholders of record on December 1, 2001. The 7.0% Series C
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares (NYSE:WRIPrC) dividend of $.875 per share
is payable on December 17, 2001 to shareholders of record on December 1, 2001.
The Company also announced that it will host a live web cast of its quarterly
conference call on Friday, October 26, 2001 at 11:00 AM Central Time. The web
cast can be accessed via the Company's web site, www.weingarten.com. A replay
