Wed, 18 Feb 2009 21:15:00 Etc/GM

RADNOR, Pa., Feb. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Brandywine Realty Trust (NYSE: BDN - News), a real estate investment trust focused on the ownership, management and development of Class A, suburban and urban office properties in the mid-Atlantic region and other selected markets throughout the United States, announced today its financial and operating results for the three- and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2008. The highlights are as follows:

Financial Highlights - Fourth Quarter

  • Net income allocated to common shares totaled $14.7 million or $0.17 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to $31.9 million or $0.37 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2007. The fourth quarter of 2008 included $16.3 million of gains on the early extinguishment of debt, $4.6 million of income from joint ventures, $6.9 million of income from discontinued operations and a $10.8 million provision for the impairment of land held for development, while the fourth quarter of 2007 included a $40.5 million gain on the sale of depreciated real estate to a joint venture and $2.2 million of income from discontinued operations.
  • Funds from operations (FFO) in the fourth quarter of 2008 totaled $57.8 million ($68.7 million excluding the $10.8 million land impairment charge) or $0.64 per diluted share ($0.75 per diluted share excluding the impairment charge) compared to $53.8 million or $0.59 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2007. Our fourth quarter 2008 FFO payout ratio was 68.8% ($0.44 common share dividend paid / $0.64 FFO per share) or 58.7% excluding the impairment charge.
  • In the fourth quarter of 2008, we incurred $11.4 million of revenue maintaining capital expenditures which along with our other adjustments to FFO, resulted in $53.3 million of cash available for distribution (CAD) or $0.59 per diluted share compared to $33.1 million of CAD or $0.36 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2007 when we incurred $13.6 million of revenue maintaining capital expenditures. Our fourth quarter 2008 CAD payout ratio was 74.6% ($0.44 common share dividend paid / $0.59 CAD per share).

Financial Highlights - Full Year 2008

  • Net income allocated to common shares totaled $35.5 million or $0.41 per diluted share in 2008 compared to $48.7 million or $0.56 per diluted share in 2007. 2008 net income included $20.7 million of gains on the early extinguishment of debt, $29.8 million of discontinued operations income (net of a $6.9 million impairment provision related to the sale of real estate) and the $10.8 million land impairment charge, while 2007 net income included a $40.5 million gain on the sale of depreciated real estate to a joint venture and $38.1 million of discontinued operations income.
  • FFO in 2008 totaled $226.1 million ($243.8 million excluding $17.7 million of aggregate impairment charges) or $2.49 per diluted share ($2.68 per diluted share excluding the impairment charges), compared to $233.3 million or $2.55 per diluted share in 2007. Our FFO payout ratio for the year ended December 31, 2008 was 70.7% ($1.76 common share dividends paid / $2.49 FFO per diluted share) or 65.7% excluding the impairment charges.
  • For the year ended December 31, 2008, CAD totaled $185.5 million or $2.04 per diluted share reflecting $36.5 million of revenue maintaining capital expenditures versus $134.4 million or $1.47 per diluted share reflecting $60.8 million of revenue maintaining capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2007. Our CAD payout ratio for 2008 was 86.3% ($1.76 common share dividends paid / $2.04 CAD per diluted share).

Portfolio Highlights

  • In the fourth quarter of 2008, our net operating income (NOI) excluding termination revenues and other income items increased 3.0% on a GAAP basis and 8.8% on a cash basis for our 234 same store properties which were 92.5% and 93.8% occupied on December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. For 2008, NOI excluding termination revenues and other income items for our same store portfolio decreased 0.6% on a GAAP basis and increased 2.9% on a cash basis.
  • In the fourth quarter of 2008, our core portfolio retention rate was 77.4% with overall negative net absorption of 17,539 square feet. During the fourth quarter of 2008, we achieved a 6.7% increase on our renewal rental rates and an 11.6% increase on our new lease and expansion rental rates, both on a GAAP basis.
  • At December 31, 2008, our core portfolio (excluding four recently completed but not yet stabilized developments) was 92.4% occupied and 93.1% leased (reflecting leases commencing after December 31, 2008). With these four developments included, our core portfolio was 90.2% occupied and 92.3% leased at December 31, 2008. We owned 248 properties at December 31, 2008, encompassing 240 core properties aggregating 23.9 million square feet and eight development/redevelopment properties aggregating 2.3 million square feet.

Investment Highlights

  • We did not acquire any properties in the fourth quarter of 2008 nor in all of 2008.
  • In the fourth quarter of 2008, we sold a five-property office portfolio in Oakland, California for aggregate consideration of $412.5 million and an office building in Richmond, Virginia for $48.8 million, bringing year-to-date completed sales volume to $517.5 million. Net of $95.3 million of buyer debt assumptions, $40.0 million of seller financing and $8.5 million of transaction costs, these two sales provided aggregate net proceeds of approximately $317.5 million which were used during the quarter for debt repayments and other general corporate purposes.
  • Subsequent to year-end, we sold a 66,664 square foot, two-property office portfolio located at 748 and 855 Springdale Drive in Chester County, Pennsylvania for aggregate consideration of approximately $9.0 million of which $8.0 million was paid in cash by the buyer and $950,000 was deferred as a second mortgage note receivable due December 31, 2009. The properties were 85.7% occupied at the time of the sale. The proceeds were used for general corporate purposes including the repayment of balances under our revolving unsecured credit facility.
  • At December 31, 2008, we were proceeding on two developments and six redevelopments with total project costs of $440.7 million of which $294.3 million remained to be funded in 2009 ($179.0 million) and 2010 ($115.3 million). These amounts include $355.5 million of total project costs for the combined 30th Street Post Office (100% leased to the Internal Revenue Service) and Cira South Garage (94.3% leased to the Internal Revenue Service) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania of which $275.7 million remained to be funded at December 31, 2008. We are also finishing the lease-up of four recently completed developments for which we expect to spend an additional $38.0 million in 2009.
  • On November 17, 2008 as previously disclosed, we closed a transaction with US Bancorp related to the historic rehabilitation of the 30th Street Post Office whereby US Bancorp agreed to contribute approximately $67.9 million of project costs and advanced $10.2 million of that at the closing. The remaining funds are expected to be advanced later this year and in 2010 subject to our achievement of certain construction milestones and compliance with federal rehabilitation regulations. In return for its investment, US Bancorp will, upon completion of the project in 2010, receive substantially all of the rehabilitation credits available under section 47 of the Internal Revenue Code.
  • On December 30, 2008, we closed a transaction with US Bancorp related to the development of the Cira South Garage whereby US Bancorp contributed approximately $9.0 million towards former and future project costs in return for which it will receive substantially all of the new markets tax credits available under section 45D of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result of this transaction, we held $31.4 million of cash in escrow at December 31, 2008, $31.2 million of which we funded from borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility. The escrowed cash will fund future development costs of the Cira South Garage during 2009, and has been temporarily used to fund our repurchase of certain unsecured notes described below.
  • As of December 31, 2008, we have suspended future capitalization of interest and operating expenses on all of our land holdings. Furthermore, our year-end land review has identified a number of instances where the historical carrying value exceeded our current estimate of fair value based on a combination of near-term sales potential and realizable development value. In each of these instances, we have calculated an associated non-cash impairment charge, which in the aggregate, totaled $10.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Capital Markets Highlights

  • On December 15, 2008, we repaid the entire balance of our $113.0 million unsecured senior notes at maturity, using available cash balances and a draw on our unsecured revolving credit facility.
  • During the fourth quarter of 2008, we repurchased a total of $134.2 million of our unsecured senior notes maturing in 2009, 2010 and 2011 (our exchangeable notes due 2026 with a put date in October 2011) in open-market transactions, generating aggregate gains of $16.3 million on the early extinguishment of debt. During all of 2008, we repurchased a total of $165.7 million of our 2009, 2010 and 2011 Notes in open-market transactions, generating aggregate gains of $20.7 million on the early extinguishment of debt.
  • At December 31, 2008, our net debt to gross assets measured 50.9% compared to a peak of 54.3% at September 30, 2007, reflecting a $524.7 million reduction in our net debt over that fifteen-month period. At December 31, 2008, we had $436.5 million available for use and drawdown under our various credit facilities.
  • We achieved a 2.7 times interest coverage ratio for the year ended December 31, 2008 versus 2.5 times for the year ended December 31, 2007.
  • Subsequent to quarter end, we repurchased an additional $21.3 million of the 2009, 2010 and 2011 Notes in open-market transactions and completed a tender offer for $40.3 million of our 2009 Notes ($28.4 million of which will be held along with $4.1 million of prior open-market repurchases of the 2009 Notes in an escrow account until the November 2009 maturity). Our year-to-date repurchase activities have generated gains of $5.2 million on the early extinguishment of debt which we expect to recognize in the first quarter of 2009.

"In this difficult economic environment, our asset quality, sub-market positioning and the depth of our operating team are driving core portfolio performance with outstanding retention rates, steady new leasing and continued rental rate growth along with diligent expense control and restrained capital expenditures," stated Gerard H. Sweeney, President and Chief Executive Officer of Brandywine Realty Trust. "Our innovative tax credit transactions on the 30th Street Station Post Office and Cira South Garage will fund $76.9 million of gross permanent capital or approximately 22% of these projects' aggregate costs. Our broader efforts remain focused on continuing to enhance liquidity and strengthen our balance sheet through capital retention, targeted sales activity and management of our existing and prospective liabilities."

Distributions

On December 10, 2008, our Board of Trustees declared a quarterly dividend distribution of $0.30 per common share that was paid on January 20, 2009 to shareholders of record as of January 6, 2009. Our Board also declared quarterly dividend distributions of $0.46875 per 7.50% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share and $0.460938 per 7.375% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share that were paid on January 15, 2009 to holders of record as of December 30, 2008 of the Series C and Series D Preferred Shares, respectively.

Share Repurchase Program

We are authorized to purchase an additional 539,200 common shares and may make repurchases from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions and compliance with legal requirements. The share repurchase program does not contain any time limitation and does not obligate us to repurchase any shares. We did not purchase any shares in all of 2008 and may discontinue the program at any time.

2009 Earnings and FFO Guidance

Based on current plans and assumptions and subject to the risks and uncertainties more fully described in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, we are revising our previously issued guidance for full year 2009 FFO per diluted share to be in a range of $2.04 to $2.21 versus the prior range of $2.17 to $2.27 due to the impact of suspending capitalization of interest and expenses on land inventory, uncertainty related to leasing in the second half of 2009 and potential but as-yet unidentified credit exposures. This guidance is provided for informational purposes and is subject to change. The following is a reconciliation of the calculation of 2009 FFO per diluted share and earnings per diluted share:

    Guidance for 2009                                      Range or Value
    Earnings (loss) per diluted share allocated to
     common shareholders                                $ (0.16) to $ 0.01
    Plus: real estate depreciation and amortization        2.20       2.20

    FFO per diluted share                                $ 2.04  to $ 2.21

Our 2009 FFO guidance does not include any income from the sale of undepreciated real estate, in accordance with our current practice.

Accounting Disclosure

During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, we identified certain instances dating back to 1998 in which we canceled, upon the vesting of restricted shares, a portion of such shares in settlement of tax withholdings in excess of statutory rates. As a result, we have changed the classification of the affected restricted share grants from equity to liability awards with corresponding immaterial changes in individual period net income amounts. While no single period impact is material, the error required correction. We have made corresponding revisions as appropriate to our prior period financial statements in our supplemental information package and SEC filings. No Form 8-K or prior period restatement filings were required.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measures

We compute our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Although FFO, NOI and CAD are non-GAAP financial measures, we believe that FFO, NOI and CAD calculations are helpful to shareholders and potential investors and are widely recognized measures of real estate investment trust performance. At the end of this press release, we have provided a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Funds from Operations (FFO)

We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than us. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) before minority interest of unit holders (preferred and common) and excluding gains (losses) on sales of property and extraordinary items (computed in accordance with GAAP); plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), and after similar adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Net income, the GAAP measure that we believe to be most directly comparable to FFO, includes depreciation and amortization expenses, gains or losses on property sales, extraordinary items and minority interest. To facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as presented in the financial statements included elsewhere in this release. FFO does not represent cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our financial performance or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions to shareholders.

For information purposes, we also provide FFO adjusted for impairment charges. Although our calculation of FFO as adjusted differs from NAREIT's definition of FFO and may not be comparable to that of other REITs and real estate companies, we believe it provides a meaningful supplemental measure of our operating performance because we believe that by excluding impairment charges, shareholders and potential investors are presented with an indicator of our operating performance that more closely achieves the objectives of the real estate industry in presenting FFO.

Net Operating Income (NOI)

NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income available to common shareholders, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, plus corporate general and administrative expense, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, minority interest in the Operating Partnership and losses from early extinguishment of debt, less interest income, development and management income, gains from property dispositions, gains on sale from discontinued operations, gains on early extinguishment of debt, income from discontinued operations, income from unconsolidated joint ventures and minority interest in property partnerships. In some cases, we also present NOI on a cash basis, which is NOI after eliminating the effect of straight-lining of rent and deferred market intangible amortization. NOI presented by us may not be comparable to NOI reported by other REITs that define NOI differently. NOI should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity or ability to make cash distributions to shareholders.

Cash Available for Distribution (CAD)

CAD is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not intended as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as determined under GAAP. CAD is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure with respect to liquidity because we believe it provides useful information regarding our ability to fund our distributions. Because other companies do not necessarily calculate CAD the same way as we do, our presentation of CAD may not be comparable to similarly titled measures provided by other companies.

Revenue Maintaining Capital Expenditures

Revenue maintaining capital expenditures, a non-GAAP financial measure, are a component of the Company's CAD calculation and represent the portion of capital expenditures required to maintain the Company's current level of funds available for distribution. Revenue maintaining capital expenditures include current tenant improvement and allowance expenditures for all tenant spaces that have been owned for at least one year, and that were not vacant during the twelve-month period prior to the date that the tenant improvement or allowance expenditure was approved. Revenue maintaining capital expenditures also include other expenditures intended to maintain our current revenue base. Accordingly, the Company excludes capital expenditures related to development and redevelopment projects, as well as certain projects at our core properties that are intended to attract prospective tenants in order to increase revenues and/or occupancy rates.
