Retail Value Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2021 Operating Results

Retail Value Inc. (NYSE: RVI) today announced operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Results for the Quarter and Recent Activity

  • Second quarter 2021 net loss attributable to common shareholders was $69.6 million, or $3.30 per diluted share, as compared to net loss of $1.9 million, or $0.10 per share, in the year-ago period. The period-over-period increase in net loss is primarily attributable to impairment charges and asset sales recorded in 2021 partially offset by lower interest expense and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Second quarter 2021 operating funds from operations attributable to common shareholders (“Operating FFO” or “OFFO”) was $20.2 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, compared to $12.2 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, in the year-ago period. The period-over-period increase in OFFO is primarily attributable to the COVID‑19 pandemic and lower interest expense offset by the impact of asset sales. Second quarter results included $2.3 million of net revenue related to prior year primarily from cash basis tenants.
  • The Continental U.S. leased rate was 89.6% at June 30, 2021 as compared to 86.7% at March 31, 2021. The increase in the leased rate primarily related to the sale of three shopping centers with lower leased rates and new leasing activity.
  • The Puerto Rico leased rate was 92.2% at June 30, 2021 as compared to 88.3% at March 31, 2021 primarily due to the sale of two shopping centers with lower leased rates.
  • Sold three Continental U.S. assets and two Puerto Rico assets for an aggregate sales price of $59.2 million. Net proceeds from the sales along with unrestricted cash on hand aggregating $68.5 million were used to repay a portion of the mortgage loan.
  • Funded additional voluntary prepayment of $20.0 million on the mortgage loan in June 2021. The balance of the mortgage loan was $214.5 million at June 30, 2021.
  • In June 2021, entered into an agreement to sell the remaining nine assets in Puerto Rico for an aggregate sales price of $550 million. In July 2021, the general due diligence period expired, and the purchaser posted a deposit of $15 million with the escrow agent. Closing of the transaction is expected to occur by the end of the third quarter of 2021 subject to satisfaction of various closing conditions.

  • The Company calculates the aggregate percentage of rents paid for assets owned as of June 30, 2021, by comparing the amount of tenant payments received as of the date presented to the amount billed to tenants during the period, which billed amount includes abated rents, rents subject to deferral arrangements and rents owing from bankrupt tenants that were in possession of the space and billed. For the purposes of reporting the percentage of aggregate base rents collected for a given period, when rents subject to deferral arrangements are later paid, those payments are allocated to the period in which the rent was originally owed.
  • As of July 23, 2021, agreed upon rent deferral arrangements and abatements that remain unpaid represented approximately 8% of second quarter 2020 rents (primarily abatements), 2% of third quarter 2020 rents and 2% of fourth quarter 2020 rents. There are no outstanding rent deferral arrangements with respect to 2021 rents.
  • At June 30, 2021, the balance sheet reflects $1.0 million of deferred rents for tenants with payment plans that are not accounted for on the cash basis.
  • During the second quarter of 2021, the Company’s rental revenue and net operating income (“NOI”) benefited from $2.3 million of payments related to 2020 rental income received from cash-basis tenants.

Property Net Operating Income Projection

The Company has updated its projection of 2021 NOI. The Company projects, based on the assumptions below, 2021 property level NOI to be as follows:

Portfolio

 

NOI Projection

Continental U.S.

 

$38 – $41 million

Puerto Rico (9 assets under contract)

 

$50 – $53 million

These Projections:

  • Exclude all properties sold to date and assume all properties owned by the Company on August 3, 2021 are held through year end;
  • Reflect payment of property management fees;
  • Assume tenant collections at 100% for the second half of 2021 (as compared to the actual first and second quarter 2021 rent collection rates reflected above) and
  • Assume no reserve reversals related to 2020 rents for the second half of 2021.

Because these projections are based on assumptions that are subject to change, including, without limitation, the Company’s actual tenant collections and potential future sales of properties, they should not be viewed as guidance.

About RVI

RVI is an independent publicly traded company trading under the ticker symbol “RVI” on the New York Stock Exchange.

RVI focuses on realizing value in its business through operations and sales of its assets. Additional information about RVI is available at www.retailvalueinc.com.

Non-GAAP Measures

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used as a standard in the real estate industry and is a widely accepted measure of real estate investment trust (“REIT”) performance. Management believes that both FFO and Operating FFO provide additional indicators of the financial performance of a REIT. The Company also believes that FFO and Operating FFO more appropriately measure the core operations of the Company and provide benchmarks to its peer group.

FFO is generally defined and calculated by the Company as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”)) adjusted to exclude (i) gains and losses from disposition of real estate property and related investments, which are presented net of taxes, if any, (ii) impairment charges on real estate property and related investments and (iii) certain non-cash items. These non-cash items principally include real property depreciation and amortization of intangibles. The Company’s calculation of FFO is consistent with the definition of FFO provided by NAREIT. The Company calculates Operating FFO by excluding certain non-operating charges and income. Operating FFO is useful to investors as the Company removes non-comparable charges and income to analyze the results of its operations and assess performance of the core operating real estate portfolio. Other real estate companies may calculate FFO and Operating FFO in a different manner.

The Company also uses net operating income (“NOI”), a non-GAAP financial measure, as a supplemental performance measure. NOI is calculated as property revenues less property-related expenses. The Company believes NOI provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level and, when compared across periods, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition and disposition activity on an unleveraged basis.

FFO, Operating FFO and NOI do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as alternatives to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as indicators of the Company’s operating performance or as alternatives to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in this release herein. Reconciliation of 2021 projected NOI to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not provided because the Company is unable to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable effort.
