RVI Retail Value Inc

Retail Value Inc. (NYSE: RVI) today announced operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Results for the Quarter

• Second quarter net loss attributable to common shareholders was $1.9 million, or $0.10 per diluted share as compared to net income of $13.6 million, or $0.72 per share, in the year ago-period. The year-over-year decrease in net income is primarily attributable to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the dilutive effect of asset sales offset by reduced interest expense and debt extinguishment costs.
• Second quarter operating funds from operations attributable to common shareholders (“Operating FFO” or “OFFO”) was $12.2 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, compared to $24.4 million, or $1.28 per diluted share, in the year ago-period. The year-over-year decrease in OFFO is primarily attributable to the same factors as above.
• Sold one property, Big Oaks Crossing, on June 30, 2020 for $21 million; ninety percent (90%) of net proceeds were used to repay mortgage debt with the remaining proceeds retained as cash.
• In July 2020, sold the Lowe’s parcel, Newnan Crossing for $15.6 million; ninety percent (90%) of net proceeds were used to repay mortgage debt with the remaining proceeds retained as cash.
• The Continental U.S. leased rate was 89.3% at June 30, 2020 as compared to 89.6% at March 31, 2020, the decrease is primarily due to an asset sold in the second quarter.
• The Puerto Rico leased rate was 85.9% at June 30, 2020 as compared to 85.8% at March 31, 2020.

In Puerto Rico, malls and non-essential businesses at outdoor shopping centers remained fully closed until early June when they were permitted to reopen with significant occupancy and operating restrictions. As of July 31, 2020, approximately 93% of the Company’s tenants (based on average base rents) were open for business, up from a low of 34% in early April.

As of July 31, 2020, tenants for the entire company had paid approximately 63% of second quarter rents and 75% of July rents. As of July 31, 2020, the Company had reached deferral arrangements with tenants representing approximately 14% of second quarter rents and 8% of July rents. In addition, during the second quarter the Company’s rental revenue and NOI were reduced by $6.8 million of uncollectible revenue primarily related to reserves associated with cash-basis tenants triggered by the impact of COVID-19.

The Company implemented a COVID-19 response plan that included enacting protocols in line with government guidelines at Company-owned shopping centers to keep its properties operational and working with tenants to access small business resources including those provided by the Payroll Protection Program (PPP). The Company furthered its property level COVID-19 pandemic response to include: property level social media and email marketing campaigns to help communities identify operating tenants, facilitated gift card program to connect local businesses with members of the communities, instituted heightened cleaning and disinfection protocols, installed social distancing and hygiene signage around its properties to follow CDC guidelines, developed and implemented Vendor COVID Operating Protocol to promote safe and responsible operations by vendors, developed and implemented a COVID Operating Protocol for all property operations staff, deployed online purchase pick-up locations across the portfolio and completed a tenant survey to identify specific tenant needs around curbside and online purchase pick-up.

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 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.
