Comparable Property Net Operating Income

Comparable property NOI growth for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was 3.6%.  The growth for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 3.5%.  Comparable properties include U.S. Malls, Premium Outlets and The Mills.

Dividends

Today Simon's Board of Directors declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $1.55 per share.  This is a 19.2% increase year-over-year and an increase of $0.05 or 3.3% from the previous quarter.  The dividend will be payable on August 31, 2015 to stockholders of record on August 17, 2015. 

Simon's Board of Directors also declared the quarterly dividend on its 8 3/8% Series J Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (NYSE: SPGPrJ) of $1.046875 per share, payable on September 30, 2015 to stockholders of record on September 16, 2015. 

Development Activity

During the quarter, we completed a 140,000 square foot expansion of Las Vegas North Premium Outlets, one of the most productive and well-known outlet centers in North America; and a 130,000 square foot expansion of Shisui Premium Outlets, a highly productive center in Shisui (Chiba), Japan. 

Construction continues on three new Premium Outlets opening in 2015:

  • Gloucester Premium Outlets in Gloucester, New Jersey, serving the greater Philadelphia metropolitan area, is a 375,000 square foot center scheduled to open in August.  Simon owns a 50% interest in this project. 
  • Tucson Premium Outlets is a 366,000 square foot center scheduled to open in October.  Simon owns 100% of this project.
  • Tampa Premium Outlets is a 441,000 square foot center scheduled to open in October.  Simon owns 100% of this project.

Construction continues on other significant expansion projects including Roosevelt Field, Del Amo Fashion Center, King of Prussia, The Galleria in Houston, Woodbury Common Premium Outlets, San Francisco Premium Outlets and Chicago Premium Outlets. 

At quarter-end, redevelopment and expansion projects, including the addition of new anchors, were underway at 28 properties in the U.S.  Simon's share of the costs of all development and redevelopment projects under construction at quarter-end was approximately $2.3 billion.

During the second quarter, construction started on two significant new development projects:

  • The Shops at Clearfork in Fort Worth, Texas – 590,000 square foot center projected to open in February 2017.  Simon owns a 45% interest in this project.
  • A 355,000 square foot upscale outlet center located in Columbus, Ohio projected to open in June 2016.  Simon owns a 50% interest in this project. 

We entered into a partnership to jointly develop the 500,000 square foot retail component to Brickell City Centre in Miami, Florida, projected to open in September 2016.  Simon owns a 25% interest in this project. 

In addition, Vancouver Designer Outlet in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada opened on July 9th.  The center serves the greater Vancouver metropolitan market with 242,000 square feet of high-quality, name brand stores.  Simon owns a 45% interest in this center.

Joint Venture Transaction

During the second quarter, we created a joint venture with Sears Holdings Corporation that includes 10 Sears stores located at our malls.  Sears Holdings subsequently sold its interest in the joint venture to Seritage Growth Properties.  Sears Holdings is leasing and continues to operate the existing stores at the properties and the joint venture will have the ability to create additional value through re-developing the contributed properties and re-leasing space at each property to third-party tenants.  In July, we purchased 1,125,760 Seritage Growth Properties common shares at $29.58 per share. 

In addition to the joint venture, we separately acquired a Sears store at the La Plaza Mall in McAllen, Texas. 

Financing Activity

The Company was active in the secured debt markets in the first half of the year continuing to lower our effective borrowing costs.  We closed on seven new loans totaling approximately $2.4 billion, or the non-U.S. dollar equivalent thereof, of which SPG's share is $1.2 billion.  The weighted average interest rate on these loans is 2.9% and term is 8.0 years. 

As of June 30, 2015, Simon had over $5.5 billion of liquidity consisting of cash on hand, including its share of joint venture cash, and its available revolving credit facility capacity.

Common Stock Repurchase Program

On April 2nd, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program.  Under the program, the Company may purchase up to $2 billion of its common stock over the next 24 months as market conditions warrant.  The shares may be purchased in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Company invested $505.7 million for the purchase of 1,903,340 shares of its common stock and 944,359 limited partnership units.      

2015 Guidance

Today, the Company is raising both the low and high ends of its previously provided full year 2015 FFO range and currently estimates a range of $10.02 to $10.07 per diluted share for the year ending December 31, 2015, with net income to be within a range of $5.47 to $5.52 per diluted share.    

The following table provides the reconciliation for the expected range of estimated net income available to common stockholders per diluted share to estimated FFO per diluted share:

Footnotes to Unaudited Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures














Notes:  

























(A)

Excess investment represents the unamortized difference of our investment over equity in the underlying net assets of the related partnerships and joint ventures shown therein.  The Company generally amortizes excess investment over the life of the related properties.














(B)

The Unaudited Joint Venture Statements of Operations do not include any operations or our share of net income or excess investment amortization related to our investment in Klepierre.  Amounts included in Footnotes D below exclude our share of related activity for our investment in Klepierre.  For further information, reference should be made to financial information in Klepierre's public filings and additional discussion and analysis in our Form 10-Q.














(C)

This report contains measures of financial or operating performance that are not specifically defined by GAAP, including FFO, FFO per share, comparable FFO per share and comparable EPS.  FFO is a performance measure that is standard in the REIT business.  We believe FFO provides investors with additional information concerning our operating performance and a basis to compare our performance with those of other REITs.  We also use these measures internally to monitor the operating performance of our portfolio. Our computation of these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures reported by other REITs.















We determine FFO based upon the definition set forth by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). We determine FFO to be our share of consolidated net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization, excluding gains and losses from extraordinary items, excluding gains and losses from the sales or disposals of, or any impairment charges related to, previously depreciated retail operating properties, plus the allocable portion of FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures based upon economic ownership interest, and all determined on a consistent basis in accordance with GAAP. 















We have adopted NAREIT's clarification of the definition of FFO that requires it to include the effects of nonrecurring items not classified as extraordinary, cumulative effect of accounting changes, or a gain or loss resulting from the sale or disposal of, or any impairment charges relating to, previously depreciated retail operating properties. We include in FFO gains and losses realized from the sale of land, outlot buildings, marketable and non-marketable securities, and investment holdings of non-retail real estate. However, you should understand that FFO does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of operating performance, and is not an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
