Agree Realty Corporation (NYSE: ADC) today announced results for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2010.
Fourth quarter funds from operations (FFO) was ($1,182,000) compared with FFO in the fourth quarter of 2009 of $6,013,000. The reduction in fourth quarter FFO is the result of non-cash impairment charges of $8,140,000 related to Borders Group assets, and a non-recurring lease termination receipt of $700,000. FFO per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2010 was ($0.12) compared with $0.71 for the fourth quarter of 2009. Excluding the non-cash impairment charge and non-recurring lease termination payment, FFO per share for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was $0.63 per share.
A reconciliation of net income to FFO is included in the financial tables accompanying this press release. Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2010 was ($3,313,000), or ($0.33) per diluted share, compared with net income for the fourth quarter of 2009 of $4,563,000, or $0.54 per share. Total revenues increased 8.5% to $9,566,000, compared with total revenues of $8,820,000 in the fourth quarter of 2009.
For the year ended December 31, 2010 FFO was $16,793,000 compared with FFO for the year ended December 31, 2009 of $23,634,000. FFO per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $1.76 compared with $2.81 for the year ended December 31, 2009. FFO and FFO per share decreased due to the impairment charge, lease termination payment and an increase in the weighted average shares outstanding as the result of the common share offering in April 2010. Excluding the non-cash impairment charge and non-recurring lease termination payment, FFO per share for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $2.54. Net income was $15,628,000, or $1.64 per diluted share, compared with net income for the comparable period last year of $17,994,000, or $2.14 per diluted share. Total revenues increased 5.0% to $36,112,000 compared with total revenues of $34,402,000 for the comparable period last year.
"In connection with the preparation of our year end financial statements and in light of this month's bankruptcy filing by Borders, we have determined that an $8.14 million non-cash impairment charge is necessary. Approximately $7.70 million of the impairment charge pertains to four of our Borders stores currently slated for closure by Borders, while the balance of the impairment charge relates to the disposition of our two Borders stores in Tulsa, Oklahoma during the 1st quarter of this year," said Joey Agree, President and Chief Operating Officer.
"Our portfolio of net lease assets continues to expand. During 2010, we completed five developments including projects in Atlantic Beach and St. Augustine Shores, Florida, Oakland, California as well as Ann Arbor, Michigan on behalf of Walgreens. The fifth project was the addition of Dick's Sporting Goods at Boynton Festive Plaza. Our acquisition program also made significant strides during the course of the year, as we acquired nine properties net leased to Lowe's, Kohl's, Chase Bank, PNC Bank, CVS/Caremark and Walgreens. Our balance sheet remains strong and we continue to be well-positioned to take advantage of opportunities as they arise."

(1) FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (NAREIT) to mean net income computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Management uses FFO as a supplemental measure to conduct and evaluate the Company's business because there are certain limitations associated with using GAAP net income by itself as the primary measure of the Company's operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management believes that the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting is insufficient by itself. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as the primary indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Further, while the Company adheres to the NAREIT definition of FFO, its presentation of FFO is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs due to the fact that not all REITs use the same definition. | |||||
