(all comparisons to the same prior year period unless otherwise noted)

  • Sold Perimeter Square for a contract price of $7.2 million, paying off $6.5 million in related debt.
  • Refinanced the Laburnum Square collateralized portion of the line of credit with KeyBank (the "KeyBank Line of Credit") further reducing the balance by $7.6 million.
  • Executed 46 lease renewals totaling 336,299 square feet at a weighted-average increase of $0.41 per square foot, representing an increase of 5.46% over prior rates.
  • Signed 11 new leases totaling approximately 29,756 square feet with a weighted-average rate of $12.10 per square foot.

  • Property NOI from operations decreased by 6.40% to approximately $10.6 million primarily due to the NOI declines from the impact of selling five properties, approximately $406 thousand, and increased repairs and maintenance at properties.
  • Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO") of $0.11 per share of the Company's, Common Stock and common unit ("Common Unit") in our operating partnership, Wheeler REIT, L.P.
  • Recognized a $400 thousand impairment charge on an asset held for sale, St. Matthews.

2019 YEAR-TO-DATE HIGHLIGHTS

  • Sold three properties and an undeveloped land parcel for $16.0 million, resulting in a total gain of $1.8 million and net proceeds of $3.6 million.
  • WHLR's weighted-average interest rate decreased to 4.75%, with an average loan term of 4.37 years.
  • Paid the Bulldog Senior Convertible notes in full through scheduled principal and interest payments.
  • Paid the Revere Term Loan in full through a combination of asset sale proceeds, operating cash flows and $300 thousand in monthly scheduled principal payments.
  • Paid down the KeyBank Line of Credit to $26.0 million with proceeds from the following sources: $23.0 million from the Village of Martinsville and Laburnum Square refinances, $1.9 million in specific principal payments and $1.3 million in monthly scheduled principal payments.
  • The 1,986,600 publicly traded warrants (CUSIP No.: 963025119) (NASQAQ: WHLRW) exchangeable into 248,325 shares of our Common Stock expired on April 29, 2019.
  • Recognized a $5.0 million impairment charge on notes receivable bringing the carrying value to zero with pending legal proceedings providing additional uncertainty relating to the estimated fair market value of the Sea Turtle Development ("Sea Turtle"). The $12.0 million in notes receivable are subordinated to the construction loans made by the Bank of Arkansas (“BOKF”), totaling $20.0 million.
    • In April 2019, BOKF filed a Verified Complaint in state court in Beaufort County, South Carolina for Sea Turtle’s default on payment of the BOKF construction loans, and for the appointment of a receiver, injunctive relief and accounting records.
    • On May 7, 2019, the owner of Sea Turtle filed a Chapter 11 Voluntary Petition for Bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of South Carolina in Charleston. The bankruptcy petition automatically stayed BOKF’s suit against it. The pleadings in the state court action and the bankruptcy action state that Sea Turtle has been in default on its payments to BOKF since September 2018. The pleadings further state that the project is $8.0 million over budget as of August 8, 2018. Sea Turtle has retained a broker to try and sell the property. There is a possibility that a judicially approved sale of the property will not bring a price that exceeds what is owed to BOKF on its construction loans. If a sale is not approved through the bankruptcy court in 2019, it is expected that the bankruptcy petition will be dismissed and BOKF will resume its suit in South Carolina state court, possibly leading to a foreclosure on the property.
  • Recognized a total of $1.5 million in impairment charges on Perimeter Square, sold on July 12, 2019, and St. Matthews, currently an asset held for sale.
  • Bad debt expense as a percent of revenue decreased to 0.66% from 0.83%.
  • Operating cash flows used for the paydown of accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities increased $4.2 million in comparison to the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
  • Net loss attributable to WHLR's Common Stock shareholders of $18.3 million, or ($1.90) per share.
  • Total revenue from continuing operations decreased by 4.49% or $2.2 million primarily due to the 2018 early termination fees of $1.3 million associated with Berkley Center Shopping Center and Southeastern Grocers ("SEG") recaptures as well as the revenue declines from the impact of selling five properties, approximately $1.04 million, partially offset by an increase of 7.35% in JANAF revenue.
  • Property NOI from operations decreased by 7.06% to approximately $32.7 million primarily due to the 2018 early termination fees of $1.3 million associated with Berkley Center Shopping Center and SEG recaptures as well as the NOI declines from the impact of selling five properties, approximately $779 thousand, partially offset by an increase of $172 thousand or 3.05% in JANAF NOI.
  • AFFO of $0.38 per share of the Company's Common Stock and Common Unit in our operating partnership, Wheeler REIT, L.P.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

  • On November 1, 2019, the Company refinanced the Litchfield Market Village collateralized portion of the KeyBank Line of Credit reducing the line by $7.2 million. The executed promissory note for the Litchfield Market Village refinance is $7.50 million at a fixed interest rate of 5.50%.
  • On November 5, 2019, the Company and KeyBank entered into a non-binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) to amend the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with KeyBank. Pursuant to the Term Sheet, beginning on November 1, 2019, the Company began making monthly principal payments of $350 thousand on the KeyBank Line of Credit.  The Term Sheet, among other provisions, requires a pledge of additional collateral of $15.0 million in residual equity interests.  Additionally, the KeyBank Line of Credit shall be reduced to $12.0 million by December 31, 2019, $10.0 million by January 31, 2020, $2.0 million by April 30, 2020 and fully matures on June 30, 2020.  The balance on the KeyBank Line of Credit is $18.23 million as of November 5, 2019.  The Term Sheet is not a binding commitment from KeyBank and will be superseded by a formal contract amendment, subject to customary closing conditions. 

BALANCE SHEET

  • Cash and cash equivalents totaled $5.2 million at September 30, 2019, compared to $3.5 million at December 31, 2018.
  • Total debt was $349.1 million at September 30, 2019 (including debt associated with assets held for sale), compared to $369.6 million at December 31, 2018. The decrease of $20.5 million in debt is primarily a result of:
    • $1.1 million Revere Term Loan pay-off;
    • $12.3 million in payoffs as a result of asset sales;
    • $3.1 million of additional principal pay-downs on the KeyBank Line of Credit; and
    • regularly scheduled principal payments.
  • WHLR's weighted-average interest rate was 4.75% with a term of 4.37 years at September 30, 2019 (including debt associated with assets held for sale). This compares to an interest rate of 4.84% with a term of 4.31 years at December 31, 2018.

  • YTD 2019 Leasing Activity

  • A new grocer tenant, ALDI, began construction of an approximate 20,000 square foot building, which included demolishing an existing approximate 10,000 square foot outparcel building at JANAF Shopping Center. As a result, the Company incurred a $331 thousand write-off.  ALDI is expected to open early December 2019.
  • In September, development of a new Planet Fitness in the parking field at Freeway Junction in Stockbridge, Georgia was completed and is expected to generate 20 years of ground rental income.
  • The Company’s gross leasable area ("GLA"), which is subject to leases that expire over the next three months, including month-to-month leases increased to approximately 2.86% at September 30, 2019, compared to 1.48% at September 30, 2018.  At September 30, 2019, 42.95% of this expiring GLA is subject to renewal options.
  • Subsequent to September 30, 2019, the 37,500 square foot anchor, Price Cutter at Pierpont Centre, the one remaining anchor in our portfolio is set to expire over the next three months exercised their five-year option, reducing the remaining expiring GLA to 2.19%.

SAME STORE RESULTS

  • Same store NOI for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to September 30, 2018, decreased by 2.59% and increased by 0.95% on a cash basis. The same store property pool includes those properties owned during all periods presented in their entirety, while the non-same stores property pool consists of those properties acquired or disposed of during the periods presented. Same store results were impacted by a 6.63% increase in property expenses, primarily due to of increased repairs and maintenance expense which are reimbursable from lender reserves.
  • Same store NOI for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to September 30, 2018, declined by 6.61% and 4.33% on a cash basis.  The same store property pool includes those properties owned during all periods presented in their entirety, while the non-same store property pool consists of those properties acquired or disposed of during the periods presented. Same store results were impacted by a 3.85% decrease in property revenues, primarily a result of the 2018 early termination fee associated with Farm Fresh at Berkley Center Shopping Center, rent modifications to certain 2018 SEG leases, reduced rent at the three SEG recaptured and backfilled locations and incremental vacancies. Same Store property expenses increased 3.11% due to an increase in repairs and maintenance expense which are reimbursable from lender reserves.

ACQUISITIONS

ABOUT WHEELER REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST, INC.

Headquartered in Virginia Beach, VA, Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. is a fully-integrated, self-managed commercial real estate investment company focused on owning and operating income-producing retail properties with a primary focus on grocery-anchored centers. Wheeler’s portfolio contains well-located, potentially dominant retail properties in secondary and tertiary markets that generate attractive, risk-adjusted returns, with a particular emphasis on grocery-anchored retail centers. For additional information about the Company, please visit: www.whlr.us.

A copy of Wheeler’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which includes the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and management’s discussion & analysis of financial condition and results of operations, will be available upon filing via the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission website (www.sec.gov) or through Wheeler’s website at www.whlr.us.

DEFINITIONS

FFO, AFFO, Pro Forma AFFO, Property NOI, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Wheeler considers FFO, AFFO, Pro Forma AFFO, Property NOI, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be important supplemental measures of its operating performance and believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate and gains and losses from property dispositions, the Company believes that it provides a performance measure that, when compared year-over-year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from the closest GAAP measurement, net income.

Management believes that the computation of FFO in accordance with NAREIT’s definition includes certain items that are not indicative of the operating performance of the Company’s real estate assets. These items include, but are not limited to, nonrecurring expenses, legal settlements, legal and professional fees, and acquisition costs. Management uses AFFO, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to exclude such items. Management believes that reporting AFFO and Pro Forma AFFO in addition to FFO is a useful supplemental measure for the investment community to use when evaluating the operating performance of the Company on a comparative basis. Management also believes that Property NOI, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA represent important supplemental measures for securities analysts, investors and other interested parties, as they are often used in calculating net asset value, leverage and other financial metrics used by these parties in the evaluation of REITs.
