(NYSE: PPS) announced today a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $10.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $15.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2008. On a diluted per share basis, the net loss attributable to common shareholders was $0.22 for the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to $0.35 for the fourth quarter of 2008.

The Company reported a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $10.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $16.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The Company’s net loss attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended December 31, 2009 included approximately $4.4 million of severance charges relating to headcount reductions during the fourth quarter as well as a loss of approximately $4.1 million associated with the early extinguishment of indebtedness. The Company’s net loss attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended December 31, 2008 included net gains of approximately $49.4 million on the sale of two apartment communities, offset by non-cash impairment charges of approximately $61.6 million, severance charges of approximately $2.9 million, and a non-cash charge of approximately $0.9 million related to the mark-to-market of a derivative instrument that had become ineffective.

The Company’s net loss attributable to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2009 included net gains of approximately $79.4 million on the sales of three apartment communities and income of approximately $1.8 million relating to the mark-to-market of an interest rate swap and changes in previous hurricane loss estimates. These gains were offset by non-cash impairment charges of approximately $76.3 million relating to the Company’s investment in a condominium project and adjacent land, severance charges totaling approximately $4.8 million, an aggregate loss of approximately $3.3 million related to the early extinguishment of indebtedness and other charges totaling approximately $0.5 million. The Company’s net loss attributable to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2008 included net gains of approximately $75.2 million on the sale of four apartment communities, offset by non-cash impairment charges of approximately $90.5 million, hurricane casualty losses of approximately $2.8 million, severance charges of approximately $5.5 million, and charges of approximately $8.2 million relating to the Company’s formal process to pursue a business combination or other sale transaction.

The Company uses the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition of Funds from Operations (“FFO”) as an operating measure of the Company’s financial performance. A reconciliation of FFO to GAAP net income is included in the financial data (Table 1) accompanying this press release.

FFO for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $8.2 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to a deficit of $47.2 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2008. The Company’s reported FFO for the fourth quarter of 2009 included the severance charges and debt extinguishment loss discussed above totaling approximately $8.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, and for the fourth quarter of 2008 included the non-cash impairment charges, severance charges and the loss on the mark-to-market of a derivative instrument discussed above totaling approximately $65.4 million, or $1.47 per diluted share.

FFO for the year ended December 31, 2009 was a deficit of $20.0 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, compared to a deficit of $29.8 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company’s reported FFO for the year ended December 31, 2009 included the non-cash impairment charges, severance charges, debt extinguishment loss and other charges discussed above totaling approximately $84.9 million, offset by the income items discussed above totaling approximately $1.8 million, resulting in total net charges of approximately $83.1 million, or $1.82 per diluted share. The Company’s reported FFO for the year ended December 31, 2008 included the charges discussed above in the aggregate of approximately $107.0 million, or $2.41 per diluted share.

Mature (Same Store) Community Data

Average economic occupancy at the Company’s 41 mature (same store) communities, containing 14,921 apartment units, was 94.4% and 93.9% for the fourth quarters of 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Total revenues for the mature communities decreased 6.0% and total operating expenses increased 2.8% during the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to the fourth quarter of 2008, resulting in an 11.3% decrease in same store net operating income (“NOI”). The average monthly rental rate per unit decreased 6.8% during the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to the fourth quarter of 2008.

On a sequential basis, total revenues for the mature communities decreased 2.5% and total operating expenses decreased 5.4%, producing a 0.3% decrease in same store NOI for the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to the third quarter of 2009. On a sequential basis, the average monthly rental rate per unit decreased 1.8%. For the fourth quarter of 2009, average economic occupancy at the mature communities was 94.4%, compared to 94.5% for the third quarter of 2009.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, average economic occupancy at the Company’s mature communities was 94.0%, compared to 94.2% for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Total revenues for the mature communities decreased 4.2% and total operating expenses decreased 2.5% for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to the year ended December 31, 2008, resulting in a 5.4% decrease in same store NOI. The average monthly rental rate per unit decreased 4.2% for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to the year ended December 31, 2008.

Same store NOI is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of same store NOI to the comparable GAAP financial measure is included in the financial data (Table 2) accompanying this press release. Same store NOI and average rental rate per unit by geographic market is also included in the financial data (Table 3) accompanying this press release.

Financing Activity

Debt Extinguishment

In October 2009, utilizing the net proceeds from its recent $68.1 million common equity offering, the Company repaid approximately $39.2 million of existing mortgage indebtedness secured by the Company’s Post Fallsgrove property that was scheduled to mature in November 2011. The Company incurred a prepayment penalty of approximately $4.0 million in connection with the early extinguishment of that debt. The interest rate on the mortgage indebtedness was 6.1%.

In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company also repurchased approximately $19.9 million of its 6.3% senior unsecured notes due 2013 and approximately $4.3 million of its 5.45% senior unsecured notes due 2012 through open-market repurchases at aggregate amounts approximating par value.

Other Financing Activity

Total debt and preferred equity as a percentage of undepreciated real estate assets (adjusted for joint venture partners’ share of debt) was 42.4% at December 31, 2009, and variable rate debt as a percentage of total debt was 0.8% as of that same date.

As of February 5, 2010, the Company had no outstanding borrowings and letters of credit totaling approximately $4 million under its combined $630 million unsecured lines of credit.

Computations of debt ratios and reconciliations of the ratios to the appropriate GAAP measures in the Company’s financial statements are included in the financial data (Table 4) accompanying this press release.

Development and Other Investment Activity

Development Activity

As of December 31, 2009, the Company’s aggregate pipeline of development projects under construction and/or in lease-up (net of the impact of impairment charges recorded in the second quarter) totaled approximately $415 million. As of that same date, approximately $71 million of estimated construction costs remained to be funded by the Company, including retainage and construction payables. The Company expects to fund future estimated construction expenditures primarily by utilizing available cash and cash equivalents and borrowing capacity under its unsecured revolving lines of credit and under a construction loan.

Apartment Community Renovation and Remediation Activity

As previously announced, the Company continues its initiative to remediate communities with stucco exteriors or exterior insulation finishing systems. The Company currently estimates that the aggregate cost of this initiative will be approximately $45 million. Through December 31, 2009, the Company had incurred approximately $32.3 million of capital expenditures relating to these remediation projects. The Company expects to fund future estimated remediation expenditures primarily by utilizing available cash and cash equivalents and borrowing capacity under its revolving lines of credit.

Condominium Activity

The Company recognized incremental gains, net of income tax expense, in FFO of approximately $1.5 million from condominium sales activities during the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to FFO of approximately $0.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2008. During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company sold 39 condominium units for aggregate gross sales revenues of approximately $7.2 million, compared to 23 condominium units sold in the fourth quarter of 2008 for aggregate gross sales revenues of approximately $8.2 million.

2010 Outlook

The estimates and assumptions presented below are forward-looking and are based on the Company’s current and expected future view of the apartment and condominium markets and of general economic conditions, as well as other risks outlined below under the caption “Forward Looking Statements.” There can be no assurance that the Company’s actual results will not differ materially from the estimates set forth below. The Company assumes no obligation to update this guidance in the future.

Based on its current outlook, the Company anticipates that FFO for the full year 2010 will be in the range of $0.98 to $1.12 per diluted share, excluding the impact of any charges that the Company may record in 2010. As the Company has previously disclosed, it may be required to record additional impairment charges in connection with its two luxury condominium developments in the first half of 2010 when initial deliveries of condominium units at those projects are expected to commence and those projects are expected to then be reclassified as “held for sale” for financial reporting purposes. Based on the anticipated change in classification and its current fair value estimates, the Company currently anticipates that it may be required to record additional impairment charges of as much as $40 million in the first or second quarter of 2010. As there is significant judgment required in developing such estimates of fair value for impairment purposes, there can be no assurance that such loss estimates will not change materially in subsequent periods. Additionally, if the Company’s projections of future undiscounted cash flows were to indicate in a future quarter that the carrying value of the assets is not deemed recoverable prior to substantial completion, it is possible that the Company would be required to record an impairment charge in that earlier period even though the asset had not yet been classified as “held for sale.” There can be no assurance that the Company’s cash flow projections will not change in future periods, that the estimated fair value of the assets will not change in the future as a consequence, or that any impairment charges will actually be realized. Nonetheless, after the impact of the projected charges discussed above, the Company anticipates that FFO for the full year 2010 will be in the range of $0.18 to $0.32 per diluted share.

The above estimates of FFO for the full year 2010 are also based on the following assumptions:

  • a decrease in same store NOI of 6.9% to 8.6%, compared to 2009, based on:
    • a decrease in same store revenue of 3.4% to 4.1%, compared to 2009, and
    • an increase in same store operating expenses of 1.6% to 2.4%, compared to 2009;
  • a decrease in overhead expenses (G&A, property management and development and investment expenses, net of development costs capitalized) of 6.0% to 9.0%, compared to 2009;
  • a net loss attributable to condominium activities of $0.01 to $0.04 per diluted share (excluding the impact of potential impairment losses as discussed above).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Defined Terms

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures and other defined terms in this press release and in its Supplemental Financial Data available on the Company’s website. The non-GAAP financial measures include FFO, Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”), net operating income, same store capital expenditures, and certain debt statistics and ratios. The definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures are summarized below and on page 21 of the Supplemental Financial Data. The Company believes that these measures are helpful to investors in measuring financial performance and/or liquidity and comparing such performance and/or liquidity to other REITs.

Funds from Operations – The Company uses FFO as an operating measure. The Company uses the NAREIT definition of FFO. FFO is defined by NAREIT to mean net income (loss) available to common shareholders determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from extraordinary items and sales of depreciable operating property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures all determined on a consistent basis in accordance with GAAP. FFO presented in the Company’s press release and Supplemental Financial Data is not necessarily comparable to FFO presented by other real estate companies because not all real estate companies use the same definition. The Company’s FFO is comparable to the FFO of real estate companies that use the current NAREIT definition.

Accounting for real estate assets using historical cost accounting under GAAP assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. NAREIT stated in its April 2002 White Paper on Funds from Operations that “since real estate asset values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves.” As a result, the concept of FFO was created by NAREIT for the REIT industry to provide an alternate measure. Since the Company agrees with the concept of FFO and appreciates the reasons surrounding its creation, the Company believes that FFO is an important supplemental measure of operating performance. In addition, since most equity REITs provide FFO information to the investment community, the Company believes that FFO is a useful supplemental measure for comparing the Company’s results to those of other equity REITs. The Company believes that the line on its consolidated statement of operations entitled “net income available to common shareholders” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO.

Adjusted Funds From Operations – The Company also uses adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) as an operating measure. AFFO is defined as FFO less operating capital expenditures and after adjusting for the impact of non-cash straight-line, long-term ground lease expense, non-cash impairment charges, non-cash income (loss) related to mark-to-market of interest rate swap agreements, non-cash debt extinguishment costs and strategic review costs. The Company believes that AFFO is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for an equity REIT because it provides investors with an indication of the REIT’s ability to fund its operating capital expenditures through earnings. In addition, since most equity REITs provide AFFO information to the investment community, the Company believes that AFFO is a useful supplemental measure for comparing the Company to other equity REITs. The Company believes that the line on its consolidated statement of operations entitled “net income available to common shareholders” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to AFFO.

Property Net Operating Income (“NOI”) – The Company uses property NOI, including same store NOI and same store NOI by market, as an operating measure. NOI is defined as rental and other revenues from real estate operations less total property and maintenance expenses from real estate operations (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). The Company believes that NOI is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for a REIT’s operating real estate because it provides a measure of the core operations, rather than factoring in depreciation and amortization, financing costs and general and administrative expenses generally incurred at the corporate level. This measure is particularly useful, in the opinion of the Company, in evaluating the performance of geographic operations, same store groupings and individual properties. Additionally, the Company believes that NOI, as defined, is a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance in the real estate investment community. The Company believes that the line on its consolidated statement of operations entitled “net income” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to NOI.

Same Store Capital Expenditures – The Company uses same store annually recurring and periodically recurring capital expenditures as cash flow measures. Same store annually recurring and periodically recurring capital expenditures are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that same store annually recurring and periodically recurring capital expenditures are important indicators of the costs incurred by the Company in maintaining its same store communities on an ongoing basis. The corresponding GAAP measures include information with respect to the Company’s other operating segments consisting of communities stabilized in the prior year, lease-up communities, rehabilitation properties, sold properties and commercial properties in addition to same store information. Therefore, the Company believes that the Company’s presentation of same store annually recurring and periodically recurring capital expenditures is necessary to demonstrate same store replacement costs over time. The Company believes that the most directly comparable GAAP measure to same store annually recurring and periodically recurring capital expenditures are the lines on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows entitled “annually recurring capital expenditures” and “periodically recurring capital expenditures.”

Debt Statistics and Debt Ratios – The Company uses a number of debt statistics and ratios as supplemental measures of liquidity. The numerator and/or the denominator of certain of these statistics and/or ratios include non-GAAP financial measures that have been reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. These debt statistics and ratios include: (1) an interest coverage ratio; (2) a fixed charge coverage ratio; (3) total debt as a percentage of undepreciated real estate assets (adjusted for joint venture partner’s share of debt); (4) total debt plus preferred equity as a percentage of undepreciated real estate assets (adjusted for joint venture partner’s share of debt); (5) a ratio of consolidated debt to total assets; (6) a ratio of secured debt to total assets; (7) a ratio of total unencumbered assets to unsecured debt; and (8) a ratio of consolidated income available to debt service to annual debt service charge. A number of these debt statistics and ratios are derived from covenants found in the Company’s debt agreements, including, among others, the Company’s senior unsecured notes. In addition, the Company presents these measures because the degree of leverage could affect the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, development or other general corporate purposes. The Company uses these measures internally as an indicator of liquidity and the Company believes that these measures are also utilized by the investment and analyst communities to better understand the Company’s liquidity.

Average Economic Occupancy – The Company uses average economic occupancy as a statistical measure of operating performance. The Company defines average economic occupancy as gross potential rent less vacancy losses, model expenses and bad debt expenses divided by gross potential rent for the period, expressed as a percentage.
