SAN DIEGO, Nov. 1, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Retail Opportunity Investments Corp. (Nasdaq:ROIC) announced today financial and operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.
HIGHLIGHTS
(1) See the end of this press release for a reconciliation of GAAP net income to FFO.
Stuart A. Tanz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Retail Opportunity Investments Corp. stated, "We are fully on track to achieve our stated objectives for the year. We continue to broaden our portfolio in each of our core markets on the West Coast. Year-to-date, we have completed $156.2 million of shopping center acquisitions and have another $58.0 million of grocery-anchored shopping centers currently under contract. Additionally, we continue to capitalize on the demand for space across our portfolio. Occupancy increased for the third consecutive quarter, reaching a new, two-year portfolio high of 93.1%, and same-center net operating income increased by 9.0%. Along with broadening our portfolio and achieving solid property operating results, during third quarter we expanded, extended and lowered the borrowing costs on our unsecured debt facilities, enhancing the company's financial flexibility and capacity to continue growing." Tanz added, "With respect to our previously announced relocation of the company's headquarters from New York to San Diego and CFO executive search, we are on track as planned to complete the process by year-end."
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
For the three months ended September 30, 2012, net income attributable to common stockholders was $2.6 million, or $0.05 per diluted share. FFO for the third quarter 2012 was $10.2 million, or $0.19 per diluted share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, net income was $8.2 million, or $0.16 per diluted share. FFO for the first nine months of 2012 was $30.6 million, or $0.60 per diluted share. ROIC reports FFO as a supplemental performance measure. See the end of this press release for a reconciliation of GAAP net income to FFO.
At September 30, 2012, ROIC had a total market capitalization of $988.0 million, including $260.4 million of debt outstanding, equating to a 26.4% debt-to-total market cap ratio. At September 30, 2012, 80.7% of ROIC's debt was at fixed interest rates and 91.2 % of its portfolio was unencumbered, based on gross leasable area.
In August 2012, ROIC expanded its unsecured credit facility from $175.0 million to $200.0 million, extended the maturity date to August 2016, and lowered its borrowing costs by approximately 40 basis points. Simultaneously, ROIC expanded its unsecured term loan from $110.0 million to $200.0 million, extended the maturity date to August 2017, and lowered its borrowing costs by approximately 40 basis points. Additionally, ROIC has the ability to increase the credit facility and term loan amounts to $300.0 million each, subject to commitments and the satisfaction of certain other conditions.

ROIC computes FFO in accordance with the "White Paper" on FFO published by NAREIT, which defines FFO as net income attributable to common shareholders (determined in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for partnerships and unconsolidated joint ventures. FFO as defined by ROIC may not be comparable to similarly titled items reported by other real estate investment trusts due to possible differences in the application of the NAREIT definition used by such REITs. In addition, ROIC calculates modified FFO, by adding acquisition transaction costs associated with business combinations which have been expensed in accordance with GAAP to FFO as defined above. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, ROIC expensed $194,191 and $1,346,851 respectively relating to real estate acquisitions. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, ROIC expensed $947,404 and $1,775,534, respectively relating to real estate acquisitions. The table above provides a reconciliation of net income applicable to stockholders in accordance with GAAP to FFO and modified FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.
