WASHINGTON REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS | ||
Company Posts Significant Quarter over Quarter NOI and FFO Growth and Announces 215th Consecutive Quarterly Dividend |
• | Generated Core Funds from Operations (FFO) of $0.42 per fully diluted share for the second quarter, a $0.04 increase over first quarter 2015 and a $0.01 increase over second quarter 2014 |
• | Same-store Net Operating Income (NOI) modestly declined by 0.3%, while cash NOI grew by 1.3% over second quarter 2014 |
• | Achieved overall same-store physical occupancy of 92.8%, 30 basis points higher than the second quarter of 2014 |
• | Executed new and renewal commercial leases totaling 259,000 square feet at an average rental rate increase of 15.6% over in-place rents for new leases and an average rental rate increase of 14.9% over in-place rents for renewal leases |
• | Subsequent to quarter end, acquired The Wellington, a 711-unit apartment community with on-site density to develop approximately 360 additional units, for $167 million |
• | Tightened 2015 Core FFO guidance to $1.68 to $1.72 from $1.66 to $1.74 per fully diluted share |
▪ | Office: 56% of Total NOI - Office properties' same-store NOI and cash NOI for the second quarter increased 0.2% and 2.5%, respectively, compared to the corresponding prior period. Rental rate growth was 1.8% while same-store physical occupancy increased 90 basis points over last year to 91.8%. |
▪ | Retail: 26% of Total NOI - Retail properties' same-store NOI and cash NOI for the second quarter decreased by 2.1% and 0.7%, respectively, compared to the corresponding prior year period. Rental rates increased 2.5% while same-store physical occupancy decreased 140 basis points over last year to 92.8%. Occupancy in retail is lower primarily due to known tenant move outs that are either leased or at letter of intent. |
▪ | Multifamily: 18% of Total NOI - Multifamily properties' same-store NOI and cash NOI increased 0.5% and 0.7%, respectively, compared to the corresponding prior year period. Rental rates declined 2.7% while same-store physical occupancy increased 90 basis points over last year to 94.5%. |

• | Same-store NOI growth remains projected to range from (0.5)% to 2%, with same-store occupancy improving modestly |
• | Same-store office NOI growth remains projected to range from 0% to 2%, excluding the redevelopment project at Silverline Center |
• | Silverline Center continues to be expected to contribute NOI of $0.06 to $0.08 per share in the current year and to further progress lease up in 2016 |
• | Same-store multifamily NOI growth remains projected to range from 0% to 1% |
• | The Maxwell development is expected to contribute NOI of $0.01 in 2015. The Maxwell remains on track to stabilize by year-end but the delayed delivery at the beginning of the year has extended the timing of The Maxwell's expected contribution to NOI |
• | Same-store retail NOI growth is projected to range from (1)% to 1% primarily due to adverse weather-related expenses at the beginning of the year, and the postponement of a few rent commencement dates to 2016 |
• | Upon completion of the acquisition of The Wellington, our guidance does not anticipate closing any additional acquisitions in 2015 although we will continue to underwrite value-add acquisition opportunities |
• | Dispositions for 2015 are expected to range from $140 to $150 million. We are presently preparing to bring additional legacy assets to market over the next eighteen months and intend to explore accelerating some of these additional asset sales into 2016 |
• | General and administrative expense remains projected to range from $19 to $20 million excluding acquisition costs, severance and relocation expense |
• | Interest expense is projected to be approximately $60 to $60.5 million |
