Urban Edge Properties (NYSE:UE) (the "Company") today announced its results for the quarter and year ended December 31,
2018.
Financial Results(1)(2)
- Generated net income of $7.3 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the quarter and $117.0 million,
or $0.92 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2018.
- Generated Funds from Operations applicable to diluted common shareholders ("FFO") of $38.5 million,
or $0.30 per share, for the quarter compared to $5.6 million, or $0.04 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2017 and $168.5
million, or $1.33 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to $157.6 million, or $1.33 per share, for the
year ended December 31, 2017.
- Generated FFO as Adjusted of $40.7 million, or $0.32 per share, for the quarter compared to $42.7
million, or $0.34 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2017 and $165.4 million, or $1.31 per share, for the year ended
December 31, 2018 compared to $158.5 million, or $1.34 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2017.
- FFO as Adjusted excludes the effects of natural disasters, write-offs related to tenant bankruptcies
and other income and expenses that are not representative of our ongoing core operating results.
Operating Results(1)
- Increased same-property cash Net Operating Income ("NOI") including properties in redevelopment by
0.1% compared to the fourth quarter of 2017 and by 1.4% compared to the year ended December 31, 2017. Fourth quarter and
year ended December 31, 2018 results were negatively impacted by 370 basis points and 160 basis points, respectively, as a
result of store closures from tenant bankruptcies.
- Reported a decline of same-property cash NOI excluding properties in redevelopment of 0.2% over the
fourth quarter of 2017. This metric increased by 0.7% compared to the year ended December 31, 2017. Fourth quarter and year
ended December 31, 2018 results were negatively impacted by 380 basis points and 160 basis points, respectively, as a result
of store closures from tenant bankruptcies.
- Reported same-property retail portfolio occupancy of 93.2%, a decrease of 340 basis points compared
to December 31, 2017, which includes a 380 basis point decline attributable to vacancies from tenant bankruptcies.
- Reported consolidated retail portfolio occupancy of 92.6%, a decrease of 340 basis points compared to
December 31, 2017, which includes a 380 basis point decline attributable to vacancies from tenant bankruptcies.
- Executed 18 new leases, renewals and options totaling 189,000 square feet ("sf") during the quarter.
Same-space leases totaled 169,000 sf and generated average rent spreads of 7.8% on a GAAP basis and 2.3% on a cash basis.
In the past year, the Company has recaptured ten anchor leases due to the bankruptcies of Toys “R” Us, Fallas and National
Wholesale Liquidators representing approximately 4% of total gross leasable area ("GLA") that contributed approximately 3% of cash
NOI during 2018. The Company views these vacancies as an opportunity to upgrade its spaces with more vibrant retailers and to
redevelop certain centers.
Active discussions are under way to release seven of these spaces primarily to national retailers at comparable average rents.
The Company is exploring redevelopment opportunities for the remaining three spaces at Bruckner Commons in the Bronx, NY, Hudson
Mall in Jersey City, NJ and Lodi Commons in Lodi, NJ.
Development, Redevelopment and Anchor Repositioning Activity
During the fourth quarter, the Company completed four redevelopment projects totaling $8.9 million at Goucher Commons in Towson,
MD, Governors Commons in Glen Burnie, MD, Cherry Hill Commons in Cherry Hill, NJ, and Bergen Town Center in Paramus, NJ, which are
expected to collectively generate an unleveraged yield of 7%.
The Company has $197 million of active redevelopment projects under way expected to collectively generate a 7% unleveraged
yield. Approximately $51 million of that amount remains to be funded.
Balance Sheet Highlights at December 31, 2018(1)(3)(4)
- Total market capitalization of approximately $3.7 billion comprised of 127.1 million fully-diluted
common shares valued at $2.1 billion and $1.6 billion of debt.
- Net debt to total market capitalization of 30%.
- Net debt to Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization for real estate
("EBITDAre") of 4.7x.
- $457.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, and no amounts drawn on the
$600 million revolving credit facility.

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 operating income or 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 the following items: lease
termination fees, bankruptcy settlement income, non-cash rental income and ground rent expense, and income or expenses that we do
not believe are representative of ongoing operating results, if any.
- 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
83 properties for the quarters ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and 75 properties for the years ended December 31, 2018
and 2017. 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, sold, or under contract to be 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
or properties that involve anchor repositioning 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, 2018, 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 retail portfolio
occupancy includes shopping centers and malls that have been owned and operated for the entirety of the reporting periods being
compared totaling 83 properties for the quarters ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and 75 properties for the years ended
December 31, 2018 and 2017. Occupancy metrics presented for the Company's same-property retail 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, properties sold, or under contract to be 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 with comparable gross leasable area.

Weighted average diluted shares used to calculate FFO per share and FFO as Adjusted
per share for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2018 and the quarter ended December 31, 2017 are higher than the GAAP
weighted average diluted shares as a result of the dilutive impact of LTIP and OP units which may be redeemed for our common
stock. These redeemable units are not included in the weighted average diluted share count for GAAP purposes because their
inclusion is anti-dilutive. LTIP and OP units are included for the year ended December 31, 2017 as their inclusion is
dilutive. |

|
Amount for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 includes the write-off of reserves on
receivables from straight-line rents, partially offset by the write-off of below-market intangible liabilities. Amount for the
year ended December 31, 2018, comprises write-offs of below-market intangible liabilities, partially offset by lease
termination payments and write-offs of reserves on receivables from straight-line rents. |

The quarter ended December 31, 2018 reflects impairment losses recognized at our
properties in Salem, NH and West Babylon, NY and hurricane-related expenses. The year ended December 31, 2018 reflects these
items, partially offset by insurance proceeds, net of casualty-related expenses. The quarter ended December 31, 2017 includes
hurricane-related expenses. The year ended December 31, 2017 also includes a write-off of net book value of assets damaged and
real estate impairment losses. |
| (2) |
|
Cash NOI is calculated as total property revenues less property operating expenses
excluding the net effects of non-cash rental income and non-cash ground rent expense but includes bad debt expense. |
| (3) |
|
Non-same property cash NOI includes cash NOI related to properties being redeveloped
and properties acquired or disposed. |
| (4) |
|
The quarter ended December 31, 2018 excludes rental and tenant reimbursement
adjustments pertaining to Hurricane Maria at Las Catalinas. The year ended December 31, 2018 reflects rental and tenant
reimbursement losses, offset by reversals of provisions for payments received from tenants at Las Catalinas. The quarter and
year ended December 31, 2017 reflect rental and tenant reimbursement losses and provisions for outstanding amounts due from
tenants at Las Catalinas. |
| (5) |
|
The quarter ended December 31, 2018 excludes rental and tenant reimbursement
adjustments pertaining to Hurricane Maria at Montehiedra. The year ended December 31, 2018 excludes rental and tenant
reimbursement losses, partially offset by a reversal of provisions for payments received from tenants at Montehiedra. The
quarter and year ended December 31, 2017 excludes rental and tenant reimbursement losses as well as provisions for outstanding
amounts due from tenants at Montehiedra. |
| (6) |
|
The results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2018 were negatively impacted
by store closures from tenant bankruptcies. Excluding these amounts, same-property cash NOI would have increased by 3.6% for
the quarter and by 2.3% for the year ended December 31, 2018, and same-property cash NOI including properties in redevelopment
would have increased by 3.8% for the quarter and by 3.0% for the year ended December 31, 2018: |
