Gramercy Capital Corp. Reports Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results

NEW YORK--()--Gramercy Capital Corp. (NYSE: GKK):

SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

  • Announced the conclusion of the Board of Directors’ strategic review process and the intention to remain independent and focus on deploying the Company's capital into income-producing net leased real estate.
  • Announced a new management team led by Gordon F. DuGan as the Company's Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Company's Board of Directors effective July 1, 2012.
  • For the quarter, generated funds from operations, or FFO, of negative $(18.6) million, a decrease of $4.8 million from FFO of negative $(13.8) million generated in the prior quarter. On a fully diluted per common share basis, FFO was negative $(0.37) for the second quarter of 2012 as compared to FFO of negative $(0.27) in the prior quarter. For the quarter, net loss to common stockholders was $(21.5) million, or $(0.42) per diluted common share, as compared to the net loss of $(2.1) million, or $(0.04) per diluted common share, for the prior quarter. The decrease in FFO for the quarter was primarily attributable to a charge of $2.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted common share, related to costs of the strategic review process and declining revenues and assets within the Gramercy Finance segment as repayments received on investments are directed to reduce liabilities outstanding.
  • Increased unrestricted corporate cash to $192.6 million at quarter end, as compared to approximately $186.3 million reported in the prior quarter. In addition, as of June 30, 2012, the Company holds an aggregate of $47.4 million of par value Class A-1, A-2 and B securities previously issued by the Company’s collateralized debt obligations, or CDOs, that are available for re-issuance. The fair value of the repurchased CDO bonds was approximately $37.9 million as of June 30, 2012.

(NYSE: GKK) today reported FFO of negative $(18.6) million, or negative $(0.37) per diluted common share, and net loss available to common stockholders of $(21.5) million, or $(0.42) per diluted common share for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The Company generated total revenues of $28.9 million during the second quarter, a decrease of $1.7 million from $30.6 million generated during the prior quarter. At June 30, 2012, the Company owned approximately $974.4 million of loan investments, $851.9 million of commercial mortgage–backed real estate securities, or CMBS, $192.6 million of unrestricted cash, commercial real estate with an aggregate book value of approximately $91.6 million and $112.5 million in other assets. As of June 30, 2012, approximately 43.8% of the Company’s assets were comprised of debt investments, 38.3% of CMBS, 8.7% of unrestricted cash, 4.1% of commercial real estate and 5.1% of other assets.

The Company’s legacy businesses are organized into two business segments supported by a corporate balance sheet with a strong liquidity position and no recourse debt obligations.

The Company’s commercial real estate finance business, which operates under the name Gramercy Finance, manages approximately $2.0 billion of whole loans, bridge loans, subordinate interests in whole loans, mezzanine loans, preferred equity, CMBS and other real estate related securities which are financed through three non-recourse CDOs.

The Company’s property management and investment business, which operates under the name Gramercy Realty, currently manages approximately $2.0 billion of commercial properties leased primarily to regulated financial institutions and affiliated users throughout the United States.

The Company’s GAAP book value per common share is negative $(8.39) per share, or $(439.0) million at June 30, 2012. Of the negative book value, approximately $(565.9) million, or $(10.82) per common share, is attributable to the Company’s commercial real estate finance business. While the assets and liabilities in the CDOs are consolidated on the Company’s books for GAAP purposes, the Company’s exposure to loss is limited to its investment in each CDO. The negative book value of the commercial real estate finance business is primarily attributable to impairments and mark-to-market adjustments made to the loan and CMBS investments financed in the CDOs in excess of the Company’s equity investment in each CDO. Due to the non-recourse nature of the CDOs, ultimately, any loss in excess of the CDO liabilities outstanding will not be realized by the Company.

NEW BUSINESS STRATEGY

Following a strategic review process which was completed in the second quarter of 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors concluded that the most attractive alternative available to the Company is to remain independent and to focus on building value by deploying the Company's capital into income-producing net leased real estate. The new investment criteria will focus on single tenant net lease investments with durable credits across the United States. The investments initially will be funded from existing financial resources. Subsequently, subject to market conditions, the Company expects to seek to raise additional debt and/or equity capital to support further growth. On July 1, 2012, Gordon F. DuGan became the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and will lead the new business effort. An operational review of the Company's existing assets and operations has begun with the goal of reducing the current cost structure, further strengthening the balance sheet and determining which legacy assets and operations complement the new investment strategy. The Company expects to provide an investor presentation to be posted to the Company’s website no later than September 30, 2012 to provide an update on the operational review and further communicate the new strategy.

CORPORATE

As of June 30, 2012, the Company maintained $192.6 million of unrestricted cash as compared to approximately $186.3 million reported as of March 31, 2012. In addition, as of June 30, 2012, the Company held an aggregate of $47.4 million of par value Class A-1, A-2 and B CDO securities previously issued by the Company’s CDOs that were available for re-issuance. The aggregate fair value of the repurchased CDO bonds was $37.9 million as of June 30, 2012.

A substantial portion of the Company’s cash flow has been generated by distributions from its CDOs within the Gramercy Finance division. The Company's CDOs contain minimum interest coverage and asset overcollateralization covenants that must be satisfied for the Company to receive cash flow on the interests in its CDOs retained by the Company and to receive the subordinate collateral management fees. During periods when these covenants are not satisfied for a particular CDO, cash flows from that CDO that would otherwise be paid to the Company as a subordinate bondholder, holder of the preferred shares and in respect of the subordinate collateral management fee are diverted from the Company to repay principal and interest on the senior-most outstanding CDO bonds. As of July 2012, the most recent distribution date, the Company’s 2006 CDO was in compliance with interest coverage and asset overcollateralization covenants; however, the compliance margins were narrow and relatively small declines in collateral performance and credit metrics from one or more assets could cause the CDO to fall out of compliance. The Company’s 2005 CDO failed its overcollateralization test in July 2012 and previously failed it overcollateralization tests at the October 2011, April 2011 and January 2011 distribution dates. The Company’s 2007 CDO has failed its overcollateralization test beginning with the November 2009 distribution date and it is unlikely that the 2007 CDO’s overcollateralization test will be satisfied in the foreseeable future. We cannot be certain that the CDO tests will continue to be satisfied and that we will continue to receive cash flows relating to the Company’s CDOs in the future, and believe that we will likely fail the overcollateralization test for the 2005 CDO and/or the 2006 CDO at the October distribution date. The following chart summarizes the CDO compliance tests as of the most recent distribution dates (July 25, 2012 for the Company’s 2005-1 and 2006-1 CDOs and May 19, 2012 for the Company’s 2007-1 CDO):

  (1)   The overcollateralization ratio divides the total principal balance of all collateral in the CDO by the total bonds outstanding for the classes senior to those retained by the Company. To the extent an asset is considered a defaulted security, the asset’s principal balance is multiplied by the asset’s recovery rate which is determined by the rating agencies. For a defaulted security with a CUSIP that is actively traded, the lower of market value or the product of the security’s principal balance multiplied by the asset’s recovery rate as determined by the rating agencies is used for the overcollateralization ratio.
  (2)   The interest coverage ratio divides interest income by interest expense for the classes senior to those retained by the Company.

Cash flows generated from the Company’s CDOs with respect to its ownership of non-investment grade bonds, preferred equity and collateral management agreements for the year to date 2012 are summarized as follows:

(1) Estimated. Distribution date for CDO 2007-1 is August 15, 2012
 

Interest expense includes costs related to $2.3 billion of non-recourse long-term notes issued by the three CDOs that are consolidated on the Company’s balance sheet. Interest expense was $20.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $20.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Management, general and administrative expenses were $11.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $6.7 million in the prior quarter. The increase in management, general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to the write-off of $2.3 million of costs related to our strategic review process, expensed at the conclusion of the process in the second quarter of 2012, and the remainder of the increase is primarily attributable to protective advances related to loan and other lending investments within our CDOs, and additional professional fees and other loan enforcement costs incurred by the Company in connection with the CDOs. Loan enforcement costs for assets financed in our CDOs are typically advanced by the Company and reimbursed as servicing advances once the loan is resolved. The amount owed from the CDOs to the Company for such advances is approximately $8.3 million as of June 30, 2012.

GRAMERCY FINANCE

Interest income is generated on the Company’s whole loans, subordinate interests in whole loans, mezzanine loans, preferred equity interests and CMBS within the Company’s Gramercy Finance division. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, $26.2 million was earned on fixed rate investments and $10.0 million was earned on floating rate investments.

Other income of $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 is primarily composed of operating revenues from properties the Company owns through foreclosure.

The Company recorded a net provision for loan losses of approximately $6.0 million, or $0.12 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. By comparison, the Company’s provision for loan loss was approximately $2.5 million, or $0.05 per fully diluted common share, for the prior quarter. The Company’s reserve for loan losses at June 30, 2012 was approximately $203.7 million, or approximately 43.8% of the unpaid principal balance, in connection with 12 separate loans with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $263.6 million. In addition, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges for the three months ended June 30, 2012 of approximately $15.0 million related to seven CMBS investments with an aggregate carrying value of $37.4 million deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired and $1.0 million related to one loan held-for-sale with a carrying value of $15.3 million.

Substantially all of the Company’s debt investments and CMBS investments are owned in one or more of the Company’s three CDOs. As of June 30, 2012, debt investments owned by Gramercy Finance had an aggregate carrying value of approximately $974.4 million, including one loan held-for-sale, net of loan loss reserves, impairments, unamortized fees and discounts totaling approximately $256.7 million. CMBS investments had an aggregate carrying value of approximately $851.9 million as of June 30, 2012, net of impairments, unamortized fees, fair value adjustments and discounts of approximately $363.4 million. The Company’s CMBS investments are classified as available-for-sale and accordingly, such CMBS are carried at fair value. Changes in fair value are not necessarily indicative of current or future changes in cash flow, which are based on actual delinquencies, defaults and sales of the underlying collateral, and therefore are not recognized in earnings. Changes in fair value are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the equity section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company continues to monitor all of its CMBS investments for other-than-temporary impairments. The fair value adjustment for the Company’s CMBS investments as of June 30, 2012 was approximately $146.4 million as compared to a fair value adjustment of $138.7 million in the preceding quarter.

Loan prepayments, partial repayments and scheduled amortization payments in Gramercy Finance’s portfolio aggregated $60.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. As of June 30, 2012, there are no unfunded commitments associated with existing loans.

First mortgage loans remain the majority of Gramercy Finance’s debt portfolio, decreasing to 83.1% at June 30, 2012, compared to 83.7% as of March 31, 2012. The weighted average remaining term of Gramercy Finance's debt investment portfolio remained unchanged as of June 30, 2012 at 2.3 years and the weighted average remaining term of Gramercy Finance's combined debt and CMBS portfolio remained unchanged as of June 30, 2012 at 3.3 years.

The aggregate carrying values, allocated by investment type, and weighted average yields of Gramercy Finance’s debt and CMBS investments, as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

In addition to its owned portfolio, Gramercy Realty also manages approximately $2.0 billion of real estate assets, or the KBS Portfolio, that were transferred to affiliates of KBS Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc., or KBS, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement executed in September 2011. The KBS Portfolio is comprised of 524 bank branches, 278 office buildings and one land parcel. As of June 30, 2012, the KBS Portfolio aggregated approximately 20.5 million rentable square feet.

Rental revenues and operating expense reimbursements are primarily comprised of revenue earned on the portfolio of 44 properties owned by Gramercy Realty as of June 30, 2012.

For the second quarter 2012, Gramercy Realty’s rental revenues totaled approximately $0.6 million, as compared to prior quarter’s rental revenues of approximately $0.6 million, inclusive of reclassification adjustments for discontinued operations.

In addition, Gramercy Realty earned fee revenues of $9.6 million in property management, asset management and administrative fees pursuant to the Management Agreement with an affiliate of KBS for the KBS Portfolio.

Gramercy Realty made no acquisitions during the second quarter of 2012.

DIVIDENDS

Beginning with the third quarter of 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors elected not to pay a dividend on the Company’s common stock. The Company’s Board of Directors also elected not to pay the Series A preferred stock dividend of $0.50781 per share beginning with the fourth quarter of 2008. In the early stages of the implementation of the Company’s new business strategy, the Company will seek to maximize capital available for investment and, therefore, expects to continue its policy of not paying dividends on its preferred or common stock. The Company expects, however, that as the new business strategy is implemented and sustainable cash flows grow, the Company will re-evaluate its dividend policy with the intention of resuming dividends to stockholders. In accordance with the provisions of the Company’s charter, the Company may not pay any dividends on its common stock until all accrued dividends and the dividend for the then current quarter on the Series A preferred stock are paid in full.
