Camden Property Trust Announces Third Quarter 2010 Operating Results

11/4/2010

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Camden Property Trust (NYSE: CPT) today announced operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Funds From Operations

FFO for the third quarter of 2010 totaled $0.65 per diluted share or $46.7 million, as compared to $0.70 per diluted share or $48.1 million for the same period in 2009. FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 totaled $1.98 per diluted share or $140.4 million, as compared to $2.29 per diluted share or $146.3 million for the same period in 2009. FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 included a $0.04 per diluted share impact from losses related to early retirement of debt.

Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders (“EPS”)

The Company reported net income attributable to common shareholders (“EPS”) of $1.7 million or $0.02 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2010, as compared to $3.9 million or $0.06 per diluted share for the same period in 2009.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net income attributable to common shareholders totaled $6.1 million or $0.09 per diluted share, as compared to $28.5 million or $0.46 per diluted share for the same period in 2009. EPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 included a $0.27 per diluted share impact from gain on sale of discontinued operations, and a $0.04 per diluted share impact from losses related to early retirement of debt.

A reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to FFO is included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.

Same Property Results

For the 46,757 apartment homes included in consolidated same property results, third quarter 2010 same property NOI declined 0.6% compared to the third quarter of 2009, with revenues declining 0.9% and expenses declining 1.5%. On a sequential basis, third quarter 2010 same property NOI increased 0.4% compared to the second quarter of 2010, with revenues increasing 1.1% and expenses increasing 2.2% compared to the prior quarter. On a year-to-date basis, 2010 same property NOI declined 4.6%, with revenues declining 3.0% and expenses declining 0.5% compared to the same period in 2009. Same property physical occupancy levels for the portfolio averaged 94.3% during the third quarter of 2010, compared to 93.9% in the third quarter of 2009 and 94.2% in the second quarter of 2010.

The Company defines same property communities as communities owned and stabilized as of January 1, 2009, excluding properties held for sale and communities under major redevelopment. A reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to net operating income and same property net operating income is included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.

Acquisition Activity

The Company completed two acquisitions during the quarter for approximately $41 million through its Multifamily Value Add Fund, in which it has a 20% interest: Camden Yorktown, a 306-home stabilized apartment community in Houston, TX; and Camden Ivy Hall, a 110-home development community in Atlanta, GA.

The ownership of Camden Main & Jamboree, one of the Company’s joint venture communities, was restructured during the quarter, resulting in Camden’s ownership interest increasing from 30.0% to 99.9%. The Company previously accounted for this joint venture under the equity method of accounting. Following the restructuring, Camden has consolidated this entity for financial reporting purposes. The Company did not record a gain or loss on the restructuring, as the net consideration approximated the fair market value of the net assets received.

Development Activity

During the third quarter, the Company commenced construction on two new development communities: Camden Lake Nona, a $61.0 million project in Orlando, FL; and Camden Summerfield II, a $32.0 million project in Landover, MD. Initial occupancy at these communities is scheduled for late 2011 and mid-2012 respectively, with construction completions expected in late 2012.

Camden also completed lease-up of one fully-consolidated joint venture community during the quarter: Camden Travis Street, a $30.9 million project that is currently 97% leased. The Company has three additional joint venture communities in lease-up: Belle Meade, a $37.6 million project that is currently 89% leased; Braeswood Place, a $50.2 million project that is currently 83% leased; and Camden Ivy Hall, a $17.5 million project that is currently 53% leased.

The Company has nine additional development communities which may begin construction in late 2010 through 2012.

Equity Issuance

During the third quarter, Camden issued 0.6 million common shares through its at-the-market (“ATM”) share offering program at an average price of $48.05 per share, for total net consideration of approximately $28.2 million. Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company issued 1.0 million common shares through its at-the-market (“ATM”) share offering program at an average price of $49.25 per share, for total net consideration of approximately $50.4 million. Year-to-date, Camden has issued approximately 4.0 million common shares through its ATM program at an average price of $47.52 per share, for total net consideration of approximately $185.0 million.

“We have continued to strengthen our balance sheet over the past several quarters and have reduced leverage by issuing equity through our ATM program,” said Richard Campo, Camden’s Chairman & Chief Executive Officer. “These proceeds will be used to help fund our new development projects in a leverage-neutral way.”

Earnings Guidance

Camden updated its earnings guidance for 2010 based on its view of the current and expected apartment market and general economic conditions. Full-year 2010 FFO is expected to be $2.64 to $2.68 per diluted share, and full-year 2010 EPS is expected to be $0.14 to $0.18 per diluted share. Fourth quarter 2010 earnings guidance is $0.66 to $0.70 per diluted share for FFO and $0.05 to $0.09 per diluted share for EPS. Guidance for EPS excludes potential future gains on the sale of properties. Camden intends to update its earnings guidance to the market on a quarterly basis.

The Company’s 2010 earnings guidance is based on projections of same property revenue declines between 1.75% and 2.25%, expense growth between 0.5% and 1.0%, and NOI declines between 3.5% and 4.5%. Additional information on the Company’s 2010 financial outlook and a reconciliation of expected net income attributable to common shareholders to expected FFO are included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.

Camden expects to issue earnings guidance for 2011 in conjunction with its fourth quarter 2010 earnings release on February 4, 2011.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

DEFINITIONS & RECONCILIATIONS

(In thousands, except per share amounts)

           
 
(Unaudited)
 

This document contains certain non-GAAP financial measures management believes are useful in evaluating an equity REIT's performance. Camden's definitions and calculations of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those used by other REITs, and thus may not be comparable. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our operating performance, or to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

 
 

FFO

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) currently defines FFO as net income attributable to common shares computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), excluding gains or losses from depreciable operating property sales, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Camden’s definition of diluted FFO also assumes conversion of all dilutive convertible securities, including minority interests, which are convertible into common equity. The Company considers FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance because, by excluding gains or losses on dispositions of operating properties and excluding depreciation, FFO can help one compare the operating performance of a company's real estate between periods or as compared to different companies. A reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to FFO is provided below:

Expected FFO

Expected FFO is calculated in a method consistent with historical FFO, and is considered an appropriate supplemental measure of expected operating performance when compared to expected net income attributable to common shareholders (EPS). A reconciliation of the ranges provided for expected net income attributable to common shareholders per diluted share to expected FFO per diluted share is provided below:

Note: This table contains forward-looking statements. Please see the paragraph regarding forward-looking statements earlier in this document.

 

Net Operating Income (NOI)

NOI is defined by the Company as total property income less property operating and maintenance expenses less real estate taxes. The Company considers NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance to net income attributable to common shareholders because it reflects the operating performance of our communities without allocation of corporate level property management overhead or general and administrative costs.

EBITDA

EBITDA is defined by the Company as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, including net operating income from discontinued operations, excluding equity in (income) loss of joint ventures, (gain) loss on early retirement of debt, and income (loss) allocated to noncontrolling interests. The Company considers EBITDA to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance to net income attributable to common shareholders because it represents income before non-cash depreciation and the cost of debt, and excludes gains or losses from property dispositions. A reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to EBITDA is provided below:
