Operating Results(1)(3)
- Reported a decline in same-property cash Net Operating Income ("NOI") including properties in redevelopment of 0.1% compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 and a decline of 0.5% compared to the year ended December 31, 2018.
- Reported a decline in same-property cash NOI excluding properties in redevelopment of 1.7% compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 and of 1.8% compared to the year ended December 31, 2018.
- Reported same-property portfolio occupancy of 93.4%, an increase of 20 basis points compared to September 30, 2019 and a decrease of 80 basis points compared to December 31, 2018, primarily due to anchor bankruptcies.
- Reported consolidated portfolio occupancy of 92.9%, an increase of 30 basis points compared to September 30, 2019 and a decrease of 70 basis points compared to December 31, 2018.
- Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company executed a 65,000 square feet ("sf") lease with ShopRite at Huntington Commons and a 56,000 sf lease with a national retailer at the Plaza at Woodbridge, which will add 80 basis points to consolidated occupancy.
- The spread between leased and billed occupancy is currently 160 basis points, representing approximately $7.6 million of annual gross rent not yet commenced.
- Executed 27 new leases, renewals and options totaling 268,000 sf during the quarter. Same-space leases totaled 260,000 sf and generated average rent spreads of 15.9% on a GAAP basis and 6.0% on a cash basis.
"We are pleased with our fourth quarter results and remain on target to meet the goals we outlined in our strategic plan at the Company's Investor Day in November 2019," said Jeff Olson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We are excited about the growth opportunities we expect to realize from the acquisitions we are announcing today combined with the leasing activity we are achieving on our anchor vacancies."
Acquisition and Disposition Activity
The Company purchased three assets with a total consideration of $38 million during the quarter. One asset is located in Revere, MA and two assets are adjacent to our existing property, Bergen Town Center. The acquisitions were executed via 1031 exchanges and funded using proceeds from dispositions.
The Company recently acquired Kingswood Center and Kingswood Crossing for $165 million. The properties are located along Kings Highway in the Midwood neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY. The Kingswood buildings encompass more than 335,000 sf including 106,000 sf of retail space anchored by leading retailers including TJ Maxx, Target, Marshalls and NY Sports Clubs and 133,000 sf of Class A office space anchored by Visiting Nurse Services and other medical tenants. The retail space is 100% occupied and the office space is 65% occupied. The properties include over 250 below grade parking spaces, across 98,000 sf, and the potential to add up to 60,000 sf of office or residential development. The office floorplates, ceiling heights, loading and parking are all best-in-class within the submarket, boasting features seldom found in Central Brooklyn.
Midwood is a densely populated section of Brooklyn with approximately one million people within three miles and strong local population growth. The properties are located less than one block from the Kings Highway subway station that services approximately six million riders per year.
The Kingswood transaction is consistent with the Company’s strategy of acquiring well-located, infill, transit-oriented assets that serve the surrounding community and have redevelopment potential. The Company plans to increase the value of these assets via lease up of existing vacancy, remerchandising where appropriate and maximizing the value of unused development rights.
The acquisitions will serve as 1031 exchanges for the Company’s recent disposition of non-core assets and allow for the deferral of capital gains resulting from those sales. As part of the acquisition, a $65.5 million mortgage was assumed which matures in 2028.
During 2019, the Company sold nine non-core properties for $127 million, and sold two additional properties in January 2020 for $29 million. The Company has one property under contract to sell for approximately $32 million, which is expected to close in the first half of 2020. The weighted average cap rate on properties sold or under contract to sell is approximately 7.4%.
Anchor Leasing
Since the end of the third quarter, the Company has executed three anchor leases with LA Fitness at Shops at Bruckner, ShopRite at Huntington Commons and a national retailer at the Plaza at Woodbridge. The Company has six anchor vacancies (>30,000 sf) remaining, including one which is being held for redevelopment. The Company is in active negotiations with grocers, discounters, entertainment concepts, home improvement stores and industrial users on the available spaces.
Development and Redevelopment
During the quarter, the Company commenced two new redevelopment projects with estimated gross costs of $24.8 million and completed the expansion of Aldi at Gun Hill Commons in the Bronx, NY.
The Company has $65.6 million of active redevelopment projects under way, which are expected to generate an 8% unleveraged yield. Approximately $29.9 million of that amount remains to be funded.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses certain non-GAAP performance measures, in addition to the primary GAAP presentations, as we believe these measures improve the understanding of the Company's operational results. We continually evaluate the usefulness, relevance, limitations, and calculation of our reported non-GAAP performance measures to determine how best to provide relevant information to the investing public, and thus such reported measures are subject to change. The Company's non-GAAP performance measures have limitations as they do not include all items of income and expense that affect operations, and accordingly, should always be considered as supplemental financial results. The following non-GAAP measures are commonly used by the Company and investing public to understand and evaluate our operating results and performance:
- FFO: The Company believes FFO is a useful, supplemental measure of its operating performance that is a recognized metric used extensively by the real estate industry and, in particular REITs. FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit") and the Company, is net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable real estate and land when connected to the main business of a REIT, impairments on depreciable real estate or land related to a REIT's main business and rental property depreciation and amortization expense. The Company believes that financial analysts, investors and shareholders are better served by the presentation of comparable period operating results generated from FFO primarily because it excludes the assumption that the value of real estate assets diminish predictably. FFO does not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance, and is not indicative of cash flow as a measure of liquidity or our ability to make cash distributions.
- FFO as Adjusted: The Company provides disclosure of FFO as Adjusted because it believes it is a useful supplemental measure of its core operating performance that facilitates comparability of historical financial periods. FFO as Adjusted is calculated by making certain adjustments to FFO to account for items the Company does not believe are representative of ongoing core operating results, including non-comparable revenues and expenses. The Company's method of calculating FFO as Adjusted may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.
- Cash NOI: The Company uses cash NOI internally to make investment and capital allocation decisions and to compare the unlevered performance of our properties to our peers. The Company believes cash NOI is useful to investors as a performance measure because, when compared across periods, cash NOI reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition and disposition activity on an unleveraged basis, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. The Company calculates cash NOI using net income as defined by GAAP reflecting only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level, adjusted for non-cash rental income and expense, and income or expenses that we do not believe are representative of ongoing operating results, if any. In addition, the Company uses cash NOI margin, calculated as cash NOI divided by total revenue, which the Company believes is useful to investors for similar reasons.
- Same-property Cash NOI: The Company provides disclosure of cash NOI on a same-property basis, which includes the results of properties that were owned and operated for the entirety of the reporting periods being compared totaling 72 properties for the quarters ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and 70 properties for the years ended December 31, 2019and 2018. Information provided on a same-property basis excludes properties under development, redevelopment or that involve anchor repositioning where a substantial portion of the gross leasable area ("GLA") is taken out of service and also excludes properties acquired or sold during the periods being compared. As such, same-property cash NOI assists in eliminating disparities in net income due to the development, redevelopment, acquisition or disposition of properties during the periods presented, and thus provides a more consistent performance measure for the comparison of the operating performance of the Company's properties. While there is judgment surrounding changes in designations, a property is removed from the same-property pool when it is designated as a redevelopment property because it is undergoing significant renovation or retenanting pursuant to a formal plan that is expected to have a significant impact on its operating income. A development or redevelopment property is moved back to the same-property pool once a substantial portion of the NOI growth expected from the development or redevelopment is reflected in both the current and comparable prior year period, generally one year after at least 80% of the expected NOI from the project is realized on a cash basis. Acquisitions are moved into the same-property pool once we have owned the property for the entirety of the comparable periods and the property is not under significant development or redevelopment. The Company has also provided disclosure of cash NOI on a same-property basis adjusted to include redevelopment properties. Same-property cash NOI may include other adjustments as detailed in the Reconciliation of Net Income to cash NOI and same-property cash NOI included in the tables accompanying this press release.
- EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre: EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre are supplemental, non-GAAP measures utilized by us in various financial ratios. The White Paper on EBITDAre, approved by Nareit's Board of Governors in September 2017, defines EBITDAre as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), adjusted for interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, losses and gains on the disposition of depreciated property, impairment write-downs of depreciated property and investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, and adjustments to reflect the entity's share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated joint ventures. EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre are presented to assist investors in the evaluation of REITs, as a measure of the Company's operational performance as they exclude various items that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance and because they approximate key performance measures in our debt covenants. Accordingly, the Company believes that the use of EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, as opposed to income before income taxes, in various ratios provides meaningful performance measures related to the Company's ability to meet various coverage tests for the stated periods. Adjusted EBITDAre may include other adjustments not indicative of operating results as detailed in the Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre included in the tables accompanying this press release. The Company also presents the ratio of net debt (net of cash) to annualized Adjusted EBITDAre as of December 31, 2019, and net debt (net of cash) to total market capitalization, which it believes is useful to investors as a supplemental measure in evaluating the Company's balance sheet leverage. The presentation of EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre is consistent with EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as presented in prior periods.
The Company believes net income is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to the non-GAAP performance measures outlined above. Reconciliations of these measures to net income have been provided in the tables accompanying this press release.
Operating Metrics
The Company presents certain operating metrics related to our properties, including occupancy, leasing activity and rental rates. Operating metrics are used by the Company and are useful to investors in facilitating an understanding of the operational performance for our properties.
Occupancy metrics represent the percentage of occupied gross leasable area based on executed leases (including properties in development and redevelopment) and includes leases signed, but for which rent has not yet commenced. Same-property portfolio occupancy includes properties that have been owned and operated for the entirety of the reporting periods being compared totaling 72 properties for the quarters ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and 70 properties for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. Occupancy metrics presented for the Company's same-property portfolio excludes properties under development, redevelopment or that involve anchor repositioning where a substantial portion of the gross leasable area is taken out of service and also excludes properties acquired within the past 12 months or properties sold during the periods being compared.
Executed new leases, renewals and exercised options are presented on a same-space basis. Same-space leases represent those leases signed on spaces for which there was a previous lease.
