Winthrop Realty Trust (NYSE:FUR) announced today financial and operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010. All per share amounts are on a diluted basis.

2010 First Quarter Highlights and Recent Events

  • The Company reported net income attributable to Common Shares of $4.1 million or $0.20 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, compared with a net loss of ($22.4) million, or ($1.42) per share loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

     

  • Sold securities acquired for $9.3 million for sales proceeds of $11.4 million representing a gain of $2.1 million of which $0.7 million was recognized during the first quarter and $1.4 million was recognized during 2009.

     

  • Recorded an unrealized gain of $1.9 million on securities held at March 31, 2010.

     

  • In January 2010, executed new leases for 95% of the Jacksonville, Florida property, 100% of the Andover, Massachusetts property and 100% of the Burlington, Vermont office property, aggregating 707,000 square feet.

     

  • In February 2010, sold at par a $3.0 million Senior 8% Sub-Participation interest in the Siete Square loan and retained a $4.2 million Junior 10.4% Sub-Participation interest. With respect to the retained interest, if the loan is satisfied at its discounted pay off amount of $5.5 million it will result in an effective yield of 19.4% to the Trust. 

     

  • Extended or exercised options on all debt scheduled to mature in 2010 on our operating properties and the Marc properties.

  • Three mortgage loans secured by four Marc Realty properties with an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $29.1 million were refinanced. One loan was extended through 2011 and the remaining two loans were extended through February 2013.

     

  • Obtained a two year extension of a $9.3 million loan on the River City property.

     

  • In April 2010, notified the lender of the Company's intent to exercise its one year option to extend the $23.4 million loan secured by 14 properties through June 2011.

  • In March 2010, an affiliate of Fairholme Capital Management LLC exercised its right to convert its 400,000 Series C Preferred Shares into 714,400 Common Shares, which conversion is based on a conversion price of $14.00 per share, thereby further reducing the Company's 2012 redemption obligation by $10 million.

     

  • Maintained liquid assets consisting of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities of $130 million at March 31, 2010.

     

  • Due to the inability of the Company to reach resolution with CBS Corporation and Viacom, Inc., the obligors of the lease at our Churchill, Pennsylvania property, as to their collective restoration obligations relating to the severe disrepair of the property, the Company has advised CBS and Viacom that it will be seeking damages in excess of $29 million in view of the year-end lease termination.

     

  • Declared a regular quarterly cash dividend for the first quarter of 2010 of $0.1625 per Common Share which was paid on April 15, 2010.

First Quarter 2010 Financial Results

Net income applicable to Common Shares for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $4.1 million, or $0.20 per Common Share, compared with a net loss of ($22.4) million, or ($1.42) per Common Share loss, for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The prior period loss is primarily the result of a $17.7 million loss attributable to our investment in Concord and the $11.1 million unrealized loss on securities carried at fair value during the 2009 period.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Company reported Funds from Operations (FFO) applicable to Common Shares of $7.9 million, or $0.37 FFO per Common Share, compared with a negative FFO of $19.3 million, or $1.22 negative FFO per Common Share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.  Adjusting FFO for certain items that affect comparability which are listed in the table below, FFO for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $7.9 million or $0.37 per Common Share, compared with negative FFO of $4.0 million, or $0.25 negative FFO per Common Share for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

FFO is computed in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT").  NAREIT defines FFO as net income or loss determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP 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.  FFO and FFO per diluted share are used by management, investors and industry analysts as supplemental measures of operating performance of equity REITs. FFO and FFO per diluted share should be evaluated along with GAAP net income and income per diluted share (the most directly comparable GAAP measures), as well as cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, in evaluating the operating performance of equity REITs.  FFO and FFO per diluted share exclude the effect of depreciation, amortization and gains or losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs which implicitly assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time.  Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, these non-GAAP measures can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and among other equity REITs. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs as disclosed in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.  FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.  In addition to FFO, the Company also discloses FFO before certain items that affect comparability.  Although this non-GAAP measure clearly differs from NAREIT's definition of FFO, the Company believes it provides a meaningful presentation of operating performance.  A reconciliation of net income to FFO is provided above.  In addition, a reconciliation of FFO to FFO before certain items that affect comparability is provided above in this press release.
