Financial Results(1)(2)
- Generated net income of $27.9 million, or $0.22 per diluted share.

Operating Results(1)
- Reported a decline in same-property cash Net Operating Income ("NOI") including properties in redevelopment of 0.4% compared to the first quarter of 2018. Excluding the impact of tenant bankruptcies, same-property cash NOI including properties in redevelopment would have increased by 3.7%.
- Reported a decline in same-property cash NOI excluding properties in redevelopment of 2.2% compared to the first quarter of 2018. Excluding the impact of tenant bankruptcies, same-property cash NOI excluding properties in redevelopment would have increased by 1.8%.
- Reported same-property portfolio occupancy of 94.0%, an increase of 40 basis points compared to December 31, 2018 and a decrease of 270 basis points compared to March 31, 2018.
- Reported consolidated portfolio occupancy of 93.4%, an increase of 30 basis points compared to December 31, 2018 and a decrease of 290 basis points compared to March 31, 2018.
- The year-over-year decline in occupancy rates were impacted by 300 basis points due to bankruptcies related to Toys "R" Us, National Wholesale Liquidators and Fallas.
- Executed 38 new leases, renewals and options totaling 456,000 square feet ("sf") during the quarter. Same-space leases totaled 446,000 sf and generated average rent spreads of 11.4% on a GAAP basis and 3.8% on a cash basis.
Development and Redevelopment
During the first quarter, the Company completed three redevelopment projects totaling $86.1 million at Bruckner Commons in the Bronx, NY, Yonkers Gateway Center in Yonkers, NY and Bergen Town Center in Paramus, NJ. New anchors Burlington and ShopRite have helped transform Bruckner Commons into a highly desired community shopping destination with new food and restaurant options expected to open later this year. Newly opened Ruth’s Chris at Bergen Town Center expands the selection of food options by providing a fine dining experience at the center and will be part of a larger collection of new restaurants including Cava, Chopt and Sticky's. During the quarter, Marshalls and Homesense opened at Yonkers Gateway Center.
The Company also commenced three new redevelopment projects with estimated gross costs of $13.9 million.
The Company has $121 million of active redevelopment projects under way, which are expected to generate a 7% unleveraged yield. Approximately $35 million of that amount remains to be funded.
Anchor Leasing
The Company started the year with 11 large anchor vacancies (>30,000 sf) accounting for approximately 600,000 sf of gross leasable area with a market rent of approximately $15 million a year. Ten of these vacancies occurred in the last year resulting from the Toys “R” Us, National Wholesale Liquidators and Fallas bankruptcies.
During the quarter, the Company executed two leases with Burlington comprising 100,000 sf. The Company is in active discussions to lease six spaces and is warehousing the three remaining spaces for redevelopment.
Disposition Activity
The Company sold one property in Chicopee, MA for $18.6 million. Eleven additional non-core properties are under contract or letter of intent to sell for approximately $200 million. The weighted average cap rate on properties sold and under contract for sale is approximately 7.5%. In total, these properties represent more than half of the value of the Company’s non-core assets. Proceeds are expected to be used for acquisitions, redevelopment and potentially a special dividend.
Balance Sheet Highlights at March 31, 2019(1)(3)(4)
- Total market capitalization of approximately $4.0 billion comprised of 127.2 million fully-diluted common shares valued at $2.4 billion and $1.6 billion of debt.

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 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 non-cash rental income and 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 three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. 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 or 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 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 March 31, 2019, 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 portfolio occupancy includes properties that have been owned and operated for the entirety of the reporting periods being compared totaling 83 properties for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. Occupancy metrics presented for the Company's same-property 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 or properties 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.
