Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2013 Pro Forma Results for Predecessor Entity

Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. (NYSE: AHH) today announced its pro forma results for its predecessor entity for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Louis Haddad, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased with the solid results produced by our portfolio during the first quarter and will continue to build on our current momentum as a newly public company.” Mr. Haddad continued, “Our strategy is built on many years of success, growing through a disciplined approach to development and acquisitions, and producing a consistent track record of profitability. Amid improving market conditions we believe our stable portfolio and seasoned management team, combined with our strong capital base, position us to identify and execute on attractive long-term growth opportunities to expand our portfolio and produce growth in cash flows and valuation over time.”

Initial Public Offering

On May 13, 2013, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”), in which it sold 16,525,000 shares of common stock for $11.50 per share. On May 21, 2013, the underwriters of the IPO exercised their overallotment option in full to purchase an additional 2,478,750 shares at the IPO price of $11.50 per share, raising aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $218.5 million.

Our first quarter 2013 operating results discussed below are presented on a pro forma basis as if we completed the IPO and the related financing transactions discussed under the heading “Balance Sheet and Financing” on January 1, 2013. The Company predecessor’s historical operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and a discussion of the pro forma adjustments to reflect the IPO and related financing transactions are included in the Company’s Form 10-Q filed today, June 20, 2013.

First quarter 2013 operating results

For the first quarter of 2013, the Company reported pro forma net income of $2.7 million, or $0.08 per share. Pro forma net income was the result of pro forma revenue of $32.7 million, pro forma expenses of $27.1 million, and pro forma interest expense of $2.9 million. Funds from operations, as defined and reconciled to net income below, for the first quarter of 2013 on a pro forma basis was $6.5 million, or $0.20 per share.

At the end of the first quarter, the Company’s office and retail property operating portfolio was approximately 93.9% occupied, with average gross rental rates of $21.33 per square foot. At the end of the first quarter, the Company’s multifamily property operating portfolio was approximately 93.3% occupied.

Balance Sheet and Financing

As noted above, subsequent to the end of the first quarter, the Company completed its IPO, raising gross proceeds of approximately $218.5 million, and net proceeds of $203.2 million after the underwriting discount but before expenses. After the close of the IPO and the exercise of the underwriter’s overallotment, the Company had an aggregate of 32,223,069 shares of common stock and operating partnership units outstanding.

On May 13, 2013, the Company, through its operating partnership, entered into a $100 million senior secured revolving credit facility with an option to increase the borrowing capacity to $250.0 million. The facility has a three-year term with an initial maturity date of May 13, 2016 and with a one-year extension option.

After completion of these transactions, the Company repaid $150.0 million of debt outstanding, including $146.6 million of secured first mortgage debt and $3.3 million of other debt. Of the nine properties unencumbered by these mortgage loan repayments, four properties have been pledged as collateral for the credit facility, and the remaining five are available to increase the borrowing capacity should the Company elect to exercise the accordion feature.

On an adjusted pro forma basis, including the impact of these transactions and repayments, the Company has $245.2 million of debt outstanding. This includes $25.0 million currently drawn on the new secured revolving credit facility.

Dividend

On June 19, 2013, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a partial dividend of $0.08 per share on the Company's common stock for the second quarter of 2013. The partial dividend reflects the 48 days during the quarter after which the Company’s IPO and related formation transactions were completed, and reflects the board’s current intention to provide an annualized distribution of $0.63 per share beginning with the third quarter of 2013. The dividend will be payable in cash on July 11, 2013 to stockholders of record on July 1, 2013.
