- Sold One Property for $4.1 Million Gain -

- Same-Store Rental Income Increases -

- Subsequent to Quarter End Secured Two Industrial Property Lease Extensions -

GREAT NECK, N.Y., Nov. 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 September 30, 2022.

Patrick J. Callan, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of One Liberty, stated, "We are pleased the portfolio demonstrated year-over-year rental income growth, given the challenging economic backdrop of rising interest rates, inflation and volatile markets. In light of these uncertain conditions, we will continue to remain disciplined in acquiring additional properties. While this discipline will slow our ability to grow the business near-term, we believe it is prudent to ensure we are positioned to effectively navigate the evolving landscape."

Operating Results:

Rental income was $21.5 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $20.3 million in the third quarter of 2021. Approximately $741,000 of the improvement is due to an increase in same-store rental income and the balance is due to the net impact of acquisitions and dispositions.

Total operating expenses in the third quarter of 2022 was $13.8 million compared to $12.4 million for the third quarter of 2021. Contributing to the change were increases in real estate expenses and, to a lesser extent, depreciation and amortization expense and general and administrative expense.

Net income attributable to One Liberty in the third quarter of 2022 was $7.2 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared to $6.1 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2021. Net income for the 2022 quarter benefitted from a $4.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, gain on the sale of a property. Net income for the 2021 quarter includes a $1.3 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, gain on the sale of a property, $801,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, of gain from the sale of a joint venture property and $675,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, from gain on insurance recoveries.

Funds from Operations, or FFO¹, was $9.2 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $9.8 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2021. The change is due primarily to an increase in real estate expenses and a decrease in other income, offset by an increase in rental income.

Adjusted Funds from Operations, or AFFO, was $10.1 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for each of the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

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

Net income, FFO and AFFO on a diluted per share basis were impacted negatively in the quarter ended September 30, 2022 from the corresponding quarter in the prior year due to the 157,000 increase in the weighted average shares outstanding as a result of issuances in connection with the equity incentive, at-the-market equity offering and dividend reinvestment programs, offset by the Company's repurchase of shares in 2022.

Balance Sheet:

At September 30, 2022, the Company had $11.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, total assets of $767.3 million, total debt of $413.7 million, and total stockholders' equity of $314.3 million.

At November 1, 2022, One Liberty's available liquidity was approximately $94.2 million, including approximately $8.0 million of cash and cash equivalents (including the credit facility's required $3.0 million average deposit maintenance balance) and $86.2 million available under its credit facility.

During the third quarter, OLP repurchased approximately 75,000 shares of common stock for $1.8 million.

Recent Transactions and Events:

During the third quarter, OLP sold a retail property located in Columbus, Ohio for a gross sales price of $8.3 million and recognized a gain of $4.1 million.

During the third quarter, Cineworld Group plc, the parent of Regal Cinemas, declared bankruptcy. Regal Cinemas is a tenant at three properties, including a property owned by an unconsolidated joint venture. In the twelve months ending September 30, 2023, Regal Cinemas is scheduled to pay OLP, including OLP's 50% share of the rent to be paid to the unconsolidated venture, $3.0 million of rent, including $906,000 of Covid-19 rent deferral payments, and from October 1, 2023 through the stated expirations of these three leases (with the lease for one such property expiring in 2035), Regal Cinemas is scheduled to pay OLP aggregate rent of $22.2 million. Regal Cinemas and OLP are discussing significant modifications to the terms of these leases and it is anticipated that the amounts OLP will collect in the future from these properties will be significantly reduced from the current contracted amount.

Subsequent Events:

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company secured two industrial property lease extensions. The first extended Shutterfly's lease through 2033 and provides, effective as of July 1, 2023, for an annual base rent of $2.0 million (an approximate 67% increase in base rent over the base rent payable in June 2023) with annual increases of not less than 3%. One Liberty will provide up to $1.0 million of tenant improvements. The second extended, effective as of November 1, 2023, Power Distributor's lease for seven years and provides for an annual base rent of $864,000 (an increase of 10% from the base rent in effect in October 2022) with 3% annual increases thereafter.

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.

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.
