CSR

-Reports Funds From Operations of $0.40 and $0.61 per Share/Unit for Third Quarter and Year to Date 2016- - Increases Total Revenue by 5.4% and 3.7% Year over Year for Third Quarter and Year to Date 2016-

MINOT, N.D., March 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Investors Real Estate Trust (NYSE: IRET) (NYSE: IRETPR) (NYSE: IRETPRB), a self-administered, equity real estate investment trust investing in income-producing properties located primarily in the upper Midwest, today reported its financial and operating results for the quarter and year to date ended January 31, 2016.

Third Quarter Highlights

  • Reported Funds from Operations ("FFO") of $54.5 million or $0.40 per share/unit
  • Total revenue for the Company increased by $2.8 million, or 5.4%
  • Net Operating Income ("NOI") from all properties increased by $1.6 million, or 4.8%, and Same-Store NOI decreased by approximately $85,000, or 0.3%
  • Executed new and renewal commercial leases for same-store rental properties on 57,206 square feet
  • Disposed of three retail properties for sales prices totaling $3.5 million and nine office properties that secured a $122.6 million non-recourse mortgage loan

Year to Date Highlights

  • Reported FFO of $84.7 million or $0.61 per share/unit
  • Total revenues for the Company increased by $5.7 million, or 3.7%
  • NOI from all properties increased by $1.6 million, or 1.7%, and Same-Store NOI decreased by $1.3 million, or 1.5%
  • Executed new and renewal commercial leases for same-store rental properties on 376,605 square feet
  • Placed into service five development projects totaling $137.8 million

President and Chief Executive Officer Tim Mihalick commented, "We are pleased with our quarterly and year to date results, which demonstrated strong topline growth with revenues increasing by 5.4% and 3.7% for the third quarter and year to date, as well as continued progress in our portfolio repositioning efforts. Within our Same-Store multifamily portfolio, our operating margins were impacted by current market conditions in western North Dakota as well as seasonally low leasing volumes in the winter months, but we expect that we will be able to drive revenues upward as we enter the busier spring and summer leasing seasons. Additionally during the third quarter, we disposed of three retail properties and nine office properties, and have now largely completed our previously announced office and retail disposition program.  As we have previously discussed, this process has resulted in meaningful disruptive FFO performance; however, we believe this capital recycling and portfolio repositioning program will result in a stronger operating platform with a more predictable net income stream."

Mr. Mihalick continued, "Looking ahead, our efforts in the coming quarters will be centered on driving revenue growth and reducing expenses in our market leading segments, as well as enhancing our balance sheet, given our manageable near term debt maturities. We continue to believe in our unique focus in the upper Midwest, which allows us to utilize our local market relationships, development platform and access to institutional capital, providing a meaningful competitive advantage to drive outsized returns over the long term."

Financial Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended January 31, 2016 Compared to the Prior Year Period

Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders for the quarter ended January 31, 2016 was $36.9 million compared to $5.5 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year.  Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders for the nine month period ending January 31, 2016 was $52.4 million compared to $4.7 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders was primarily due to gain on extinguishment of debt of $36.5 million recognized in the three and nine months ended January 31, 2016.

Funds from Operations ("FFO") for the quarter ending January 31, 2016 was $54.5 million or $0.40 per share/unit.  FFO for the nine months ending January 31, 2016 was $84.7 million or $0.61 per share/unit. The increase in FFO was primarily due to gain on extinguishment of debt of $36.5 million recognized in the three and nine months ended January 31, 2016. Excluding gain or loss on extinguishment of debt and default interest, FFO would have been $0.14 and $0.44 for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2016, respectively.

The table below highlights the FFO and Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO") results by quarter for the first nine months of fiscal year 2016.

Operating Results for the Three Months Ended January 31, 2016 Compared to the Prior Year Period

Total revenue for the Company increased by $2.8 million, or 5.4%, in the three months ended January 31, 2016 compared to same period one year ago. 

Total expenses for the Company increased by $2.8 million, or 7.6%, in the three months ended January 31, 2016 compared to same period one year ago. This increase is primarily due to an increase in depreciation expense at new acquisitions and developments placed in service. 

Net Operating Income (NOI) from all properties increased by $1.6 million, or 4.8% for the quarter ending January 31, 2016 compared to the same period one year ago. Non-Same-Store properties, primarily the Company's multifamily developments, provided for an increase in NOI of $1.7 million while Same-Store NOI decreased by approximately $85,000 for the quarter ending January 31, 2016 compared to the same period one year ago. The decrease in Same-Store NOI was primarily due to reduced revenues at properties located in energy impacted markets in western North Dakota and shifting costs across the balance of the Company's portfolio, which had been impacted by the execution of its strategic plan to sell the commercial office and retail segments.

Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended January 31, 2016 Compared to the Prior Year Period

Total revenues for the Company increased by $5.7 million, or 3.7%, in the nine months ended January 31, 2016 compared to same period one year ago. 

Total expenses for the Company increased by $6.2 million, or 5.6%, in the nine months ended January 31, 2016 compared to same period one year ago. This increase is primarily due to an increase in depreciation expense and property management expense at new acquisitions and developments placed in service.

NOI from all properties increased by $1.6 million, or 1.7% for the nine month period ending January 31, 2016 compared to the same period one year ago.  Non-Same-Store properties, primarily the Company's multifamily developments, provided for an increase in NOI of $2.9 million while Same-Store NOI decreased by $1.3 million.  The decrease in Same-Store NOI was primarily due to reduced revenues at properties located in energy impacted markets in western North Dakota and shifting costs across the balance of the Company's portfolio, which had been impacted by the execution of its strategic plan to sell the commercial office and retail segments.

Multifamily Results for the Three Months Ended January 31, 2016 Compared to the Prior Year Period

Multifamily (including non-same-store) NOI increased by approximately $898,000 or 5.3% for the quarter ending January 31, 2016 compared to the same period one year ago. Continued completion and lease up of our development projects is having a positive effect on total operations.

Multifamily Results for the Nine Months Ended January 31, 2016 Compared to the Prior Year Period

Multifamily (including non-same store) NOI increased by approximately $2.3 million or 4.6% for nine month period ending January 31, 2016 compared to the same period one year ago. Continued completion and lease up of our development projects and accretive acquisitions in the period are having a positive effect on total operations.

Same-Store Multifamily Results for the Three Months Ended January 31, 2016 Compared to the Prior Year Period

Same-Store Multifamily NOI decreased by approximately $725,000 for the quarter ending January 31, 2016 compared to the same period one year ago. The decrease in Same-Store NOI was primarily due to reduced revenues at properties located in energy impacted markets in western North Dakota and shifting costs across the balance of the Company's portfolio, which had been impacted by the execution of its strategic plan to sell the commercial office and retail segments.

The Company's operating margins of Same-Store Multifamily NOI to Gross Revenues improved by 60 basis points quarter over quarter to 53.3% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2016, as compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2016.

The table below represents Same-Store Multifamily performance for the third quarter ending January 31, 2016 compared to the same period one year ago. Excluding the highly impacted energy markets of Minot and Williston, North Dakota, the balance of the same-store portfolio showed improving NOI results year over year.

In addition to our initiatives to grow our multifamily portfolio through acquisitions and development, we have launched a value add program whereby we will be committing an estimated $3.5 million per quarter to rehab 4,000 units.  Apartments will be remodeled as the leases expire and upgrades will include a variety of new appliances, flooring, lighting, kitchen cabinets, and bathroom upgrades. Management expects these upgrades to range from $10,000 to $13,000 per unit and result in a return on investment of approximately 8% to 10% per year per unit.
