Third Quarter 2013 Results
For the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the company reported a loss of $0.16 per share compared to earnings of $0.11 per share for the third quarter of 2012. The $0.16 per share loss includes a one-time $0.38 per share loss on early extinguishment of debt. Excluding the $0.38 per share loss, earnings were $0.22 per share, an increase of 100% over the prior year quarter. Revenues increased 13%, or $10.9 million, to $96.3 million for the third quarter of 2013 over the third quarter of 2012. The increase in revenues is primarily due to new leases commencing.
Funds from Operations ("FFO") for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 was $0.13 per share compared to $0.38 per share for the third quarter of 2012. The decrease of $0.25 per share from the prior year quarter is primarily due to the $0.38 per share loss on early extinguishment of debt partially offset by higher operating income excluding depreciation.
Normalized FFO is FFO with the loss on early extinguishment of debt added back. Normalized FFO for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 was $0.51 per share compared to $0.38 per share for the third quarter of 2012. The increase of $0.13 per share from the prior year quarter is primarily due to higher operating income excluding depreciation.
First Nine Months 2013 Results
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the company reported earnings of $0.15 per share compared to $0.30 per share for the year ago period. Earnings of $0.15 per share includes losses on the early extinguishment of debt of $0.39 per share from refinancing activity in the first and third quarters of 2013. Excluding the $0.39 per share of loss on early extinguishment of debt, earnings were $0.54 per share, an increase of 80% over the year ago period. Revenues increased 12%, or $29.2 million, to $275.7 million for the first nine months of 2013 over the year ago period. The increase in revenues is primarily due to new leases commencing.

The decrease of $0.10 per share from the year ago period is primarily due to the $0.39 per share loss on early extinguishment of debt partially offset by higher operating income excluding depreciation.
Normalized FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $1.39 per share, compared to $1.10 per share for the first nine months of 2012. The increase of $0.29 per share from the year ago period is primarily due to higher operating income excluding depreciation.

Development Update
In August 2013, the company executed an agreement with its general contractor to complete half of the second phase of SC1, to be known as SC1 Phase IIA. It will consist of 9.1 MW and approximately 44,000 raised square feet with expected completion in the second quarter of 2014. SC1 Phase IIA is 50% pre-leased.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
In September 2013, the company issued $600 million of Senior Notes due 2021 at par bearing an interest rate of 5.875%. The proceeds from this issuance were partially used to fund a tender offer to purchase the company's 8.5% Senior Notes due 2017. Bondholders tendered $418.1 million of these notes outstanding and the company settled this tender on September 24, 2013 for $443.4 million which included a premium of $25.3 million. On September 24, 2013, the company called the remaining bonds totaling $131.9 million and will redeem these Notes today for approximately $139 million which includes a premium of approximately $7 million.
In September 2013, the company entered into a $195 million senior unsecured term loan. This loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.75% and matures on February 15, 2019 with no extension option. In October 2013, the company exercised the accordion feature increasing the term loan $55 million to $250 million. The new loan includes a delayed draw feature, of which the company immediately drew $120.0 million in September and has drawn $34.0 million in the fourth quarter to date. The Company must draw the remaining balance of $96.0 million by January 10, 2014.
In September 2013, the company's Board of Directors approved a new common stock repurchase program that will commence at the expiration of the existing program and expire on December 31, 2014. The new program will allow purchases of up to $80 million plus any unused authorized amounts from the current program. Under the current program, the company has repurchased $37.8 million, or 1,632,673 shares, of common stock at an average price of $23.12 per share. In the third quarter of 2013, the company did not repurchase any shares and has $42.2 million remaining under the current program.
As of September 30, 2013, the company had $198 million of cash available on its balance sheet, $75 million of available capacity on the unsecured term loan and $400 million of available capacity under its revolving credit facility. Approximately $143 million of this cash will be used today to redeem the remaining 8.5% Senior Notes due 2017.
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2013 Guidance
The company has established an FFO guidance range of $0.43 to $0.45 per share and a Normalized FFO guidance range of $0.54 to $0.56 for the fourth quarter of 2013. The $0.11 per share difference between these two ranges is the loss on the early extinguishment of debt from the redemption in October of the remaining Senior Notes due 2017.
The company's 2013 FFO guidance range is $1.43 to $1.45 per share and the 2013 Normalized FFO guidance range is $1.93 to $1.95 per share. The $0.50 per share difference between these two ranges is the losses on the early extinguishment of debt. The new Normalized FFO guidance is an increase of $0.04 per share to the midpoint of the prior FFO range and is due to the addback of the first quarter loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0.02 per share and a reduction in interest expense of $0.02 per share. The 2013 lower end of the FFO and Normalized FFO guidance ranges still assumes no additional leases will be executed through the end of this calendar year.
Full Year 2014 Guidance
The company has established the low end of its 2014 FFO guidance range at $2.28 per share. This per share amount has the following key assumptions:
- Renewals of all leases scheduled to expire in 2014 and no new leases are executed through the end of 2014.
- Commencement of one new development, CH2, in Elk Grove Village, Illinois in the second quarter of 2014.
- $9 million of capitalized interest, with approximately $7 million in the first half of the year and approximately $2 million in the second half of the year.
- General and administrative expense of $18 to $19 million.
- No new debt or equity offerings and no common stock repurchases.
- No acquisitions of income producing properties.

(1) Funds from operations, or FFO, is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental operating performance measure for REITs. The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the definition that was adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net (loss) income determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP, impairment charges on depreciable real estate assets and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, plus specified non-cash items, such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company also presents FFO attributable to common shares and OP units, which is FFO excluding preferred stock dividends. FFO attributable to common shares and OP units per share is calculated on a basis consistent with net income attributable to common shares and OP units and reflects adjustments to net income for preferred stock dividends.
The Company uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions, it provides a performance measure that, when compared period over period, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating expenses. The Company also believes that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of equity REITs, FFO may be used by investors as a basis to compare the Company's operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO excludes real estate related depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of the Company's properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of the Company's properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact the Company's results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of the Company's performance is limited.
While FFO is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of equity REITs, other equity REITs may use different methodologies for calculating FFO and, accordingly, FFO as disclosed by such other REITs may not be comparable to the Company's FFO. Therefore, the Company believes that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of its historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income as presented in the consolidated statements of operations. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or to cash flow from operating activities (each as computed in accordance with GAAP) or as an indicator of the Company's liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to meet the Company's cash needs, including its ability to pay dividends or make distributions.
The Company presents FFO with adjustments to arrive at Normalized FFO. Normalized FFO is FFO attributable to common shares and units excluding gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt and gain or loss on derivative instruments. The Company also presents FFO with supplemental adjustments to arrive at Adjusted FFO ("AFFO"). AFFO is Normalized FFO excluding straight-line revenue, compensation paid with Company common shares, below market lease amortization net of above market lease amortization, non real estate depreciation and amortization, amortization of deferred financing costs, improvements to real estate and capitalized leasing commissions. AFFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and therefore should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow provided by operations as a measure of liquidity and is not necessarily indicative of funds available to fund the Company's cash needs including the Company's ability to pay dividends. In addition, AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measurements employed by other companies. The Company's management uses AFFO in management reports to provide a measure of REIT operating performance that can be compared to other companies using AFFO.
