– Purchased 3 Industrial Properties –

– Property Sales Generated $8.1 Million of Gains –

GREAT NECK, N.Y., Aug. 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- One Liberty Properties, Inc. (NYSE:OLP), a real estate investment trust focused on net leased properties, today announced operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Patrick J. Callan, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of One Liberty stated, "As part of our ongoing efforts to reposition the portfolio to produce sustained growth and further support our dividend, we purchased three industrial properties during the quarter. As we continue our efforts to maximize returns on invested capital, in addition to accretive acquisitions, we executed on our stock repurchase program as part of our disciplined capital allocation strategy to build stockholder value."

Operating Results:

Rental income was $21.5 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $20.3 million in the second quarter of 2021. This increase is due primarily to an additional $1.1 million of same-store rental income, of which $543,000, including $241,000 of deferred rent, is from Regal Cinemas.

Total operating expenses in the second quarter of 2022 were $13.5 million compared to $12.9 million for the second quarter of 2021. The change is due primarily to increases in depreciation, general and administrative, and real estate operating expenses.

Net income attributable to One Liberty in the second quarter of 2022 was $16.8 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, compared to $23.3 million, or $1.12 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2021. Net income for the 2022 quarter includes $8.1 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, of gains from property sales and $5.4 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, from the settlement of the Round Rock litigation. Net income for the 2021 quarter includes $21.5 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, from the gains on the sales of the Whole Foods properties, before giving effect to the related $799,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, swap termination charge.

Funds from Operations, or FFO¹, was $14.7 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $7.7 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2021. The increase is due primarily to the Round Rock settlement and to a lesser extent, the increase in rental income, including the deferred rent from Regal Cinemas.

_______________

¹^{A reconciliation of GAAP amounts to non-GAAP amounts (}^i.e^{., FFO and AFFO) is presented with the financial information included in this release.}

Adjusted Funds from Operations, or AFFO, was $10.4 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to $10.2 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the corresponding quarter in the prior year. Contributing to the change in the current quarter was the increase in rental income, including the deferred rent from Regal Cinemas.

Gains on property sales are excluded from the calculation of FFO and AFFO.

Diluted per share net income, FFO and AFFO were impacted negatively in the quarter ended June 30, 2022 from the corresponding quarter in the prior year by an average increase of approximately 303,000 in the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding as a result of stock issuances in connection with the equity incentive, at-the-market equity offering and dividend reinvestment programs, offset by the Company's repurchase of 133,000 shares in the current quarter.

Balance Sheet:

At June 30, 2022, the Company had $17.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, total assets of $780.7 million, total debt of $426.9 million, and total stockholders' equity of $315.2 million.

At August 1, 2022, One Liberty's available liquidity was approximately $92.5 million, including $10.0 million of cash and cash equivalents (including the credit facility's required $3.0 million average deposit maintenance balance) and $82.5 million available under its credit facility.

Transactions During the Quarter Ended June 30, 2022:

One Liberty purchased three industrial properties for an aggregate purchase price of $31.7 million, including related mortgage debt of $15.5 million obtained contemporaneously or shortly following the acquisition. One Liberty anticipates that such properties will contribute, in the six months ending December 31, 2022, approximately $972,000 of rental income (excluding variable rent) and $504,000 and $284,000 of depreciation and amortization expense and mortgage interest expense, respectively.

The Company sold two properties for an aggregate sales price of $13.3 million and an aggregate gain of $8.1 million. In the six months ended June 30, 2021, these two properties contributed an aggregate of $604,000 of rental income, $43,000 of mortgage interest expense and $193,000 of real estate operating expense, including $145,000 of depreciation and amortization expense.

Share Buyback:

During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company repurchased approximately 133,000 shares at an average price per share of $25.46. At June 30, 2022, the remaining amount the Company is currently authorized to repurchase is approximately $4.1 million of its common stock.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

One Liberty computes FFO in accordance with the "White Paper on Funds from Operations" issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") and NAREIT's related guidance. FFO is defined in the White Paper as net income (calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control, impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities where the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.

One Liberty computes adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, by adjusting from FFO for its straight-line rent accruals and amortization of lease intangibles, deducting income on settlement of litigation, income on insurance recoveries from casualties, lease termination and assignment fees, and adding back amortization of restricted stock and restricted stock unit compensation expense, amortization of costs in connection with our financing activities (including our share of our unconsolidated joint ventures), and debt prepayment costs. Since the NAREIT White Paper does not provide guidelines for computing AFFO, the computation of AFFO may vary from one REIT to another.

One Liberty believes that FFO and AFFO are useful and standard supplemental measures of the operating performance for equity REITs and are used frequently by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating equity REITs, many of which present FFO and AFFO when reporting their operating results. FFO and AFFO are intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminish predictability over time. In fact, real estate values have historically risen and fallen with market conditions. As a result, management believes that FFO and AFFO provide a performance measure that when compared year over year, should reflect the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, interest costs and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation and amortization, providing a perspective that may not be necessarily apparent from net income. Management also considers FFO and AFFO to be useful in evaluating potential property acquisitions.

FFO and AFFO do not represent net income or cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP. FFO and AFFO should not be an alternative to net income as a reliable measure of our operating performance nor as an alternative to cash flows as measures of liquidity. FFO and AFFO do not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of the Company's cash needs.

Forward Looking Statement:

Certain information contained in this press release, together with other statements and information publicly disseminated by One Liberty Properties, Inc. is forward looking within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend such forward looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provision for forward looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and include this statement for the purpose of complying with these safe harbor provisions. Forward looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words "may," "will," "could," "believe," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," or similar expressions or variations thereof.

In addition, estimates of rental income for 2022 exclude any related variable rent, anticipated property purchases and/or sales may not be completed during the period indicated or at all, and estimates of gains from property sales are subject to adjustment, among other things, because actual closing costs may differ from the estimated costs.
