Occupancy and Leasing Results:
As of June 30, 2012, 84.5% of CWH’s total square feet was
leased, compared to 84.3% as of June 30, 2011.
CWH entered into lease renewals for 1,020,000 square feet and
new leases for 549,000 square feet during the quarter ended June
30, 2012 which had weighted average rental rates that were 2% above
prior rents for the same space. Average lease terms for leases
entered into during the second quarter of 2012 were 10.0 years.
Commitments for tenant improvements, leasing commission costs and
concessions for leases entered during the quarter ended June 30,
2012 totaled $2.82 per square foot per year of lease term on
average.
Recent Investment and Sales Activities:
Since the announcement of 2012 first quarter results on May 3,
2012, CWH has entered into agreements to acquire three properties
with a combined 1,391,966 square feet for an aggregate purchase
price of $255.5 million, including the assumption of approximately
$156.6 million of mortgage debt and excluding closing costs:
- In May 2012, CWH entered into an
agreement to acquire one central business district, or CBD, office
property located in Columbia, SC with 333,708 square feet. This
property is 92% leased to 17 tenants for a weighted (by rents)
average lease term of 8.8 years. The purchase price is $60.0
million, excluding closing costs. CWH expects to acquire this
property during the third quarter of 2012; however, this
acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including
the assumption of existing mortgage debt. Accordingly, CWH can
provide no assurance that it will acquire this property in that
time period or at all.
- Also in May 2012, CWH entered into an
agreement to acquire two CBD office properties located in
Indianapolis, IN with a combined 1,058,258 square feet. These
properties are 93% leased to 47 tenants for a weighted (by rents)
average lease term of 6.6 years. The aggregate purchase price is
$195.5 million, excluding closing costs. CWH expects to acquire
these properties during the third quarter of 2012; however, this
acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including
the assumption of existing mortgage debt. Accordingly, CWH can
provide no assurance that it will acquire these properties in that
time period or at all.
Also since May 3, 2012, CWH closed on the previously reported
purchase of a CBD office property located in Austin, TX with
170,052 square feet for a purchase price of $49.0 million,
excluding closing costs. In addition, since May 3, 2012, Select
Income REIT, or SIR, acquired five office properties with a
combined 958,132 square feet for an aggregate purchase price of
$151.0 million, excluding closing costs, and SIR entered into
agreements to acquire four properties with a combined 1,576,856
square feet for an aggregate purchase price of $109.7 million,
excluding closing costs.
During the three months ended June 30, 2012, CWH sold two office
properties with a combined 89,912 square feet for $1.8 million,
excluding closing costs:
- In April 2012, CWH sold an office
property located in Salina, NY with 12,934 square feet for
$575,000, excluding closing costs.
- In June 2012, CWH sold an office
property located in Santa Fe, NM with 76,978 square feet for $1.3
million, excluding closing costs.
Recent Financing Activities:
In May 2012, CWH prepaid at par $12.7 million of 6.06% mortgage
debt using cash on hand.
In July 2012, CWH prepaid at par all $191.0 million of its 6.50%
unsecured senior notes due in 2013, using cash on hand and
borrowings under its revolving credit facility.
Also in July 2012, CWH issued $175.0 million of 5.75% unsecured
senior notes due in 2042, raising net proceeds of approximately
$169.1 million. CWH used the net proceeds from these notes to repay
amounts outstanding under its revolving credit facility and
deposited the excess proceeds in short term investments. Shortly
after the closing of this transaction, CWH issued a notice to
redeem all 6,000,000 shares of its 7 1/8% series C preferred shares
for $25.00 each plus accrued and unpaid distributions. CWH expects
to fund this redemption during August 2012 with cash on hand and
borrowings under its revolving credit facility.
In addition, during July 2012, SIR entered into a five year
$350.0 million unsecured term loan with a group of institutional
lenders.

(1) CWH calculates FFO and Normalized FFO as shown above. FFO is
calculated on the basis defined by The National Association of Real
Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which is net income,
calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus real estate depreciation
and amortization, net income attributable to noncontrolling
interest and FFO from equity investees, less gain or loss on sale
of properties, earnings from equity investees and FFO attributable
to noncontrolling interest. CWH’s calculation of Normalized FFO
differs from NAREIT's definition of FFO because it excludes
acquisition related costs, loss on early extinguishment of debt
unless settled in cash, the difference between average minimum rent
and interest earned from direct financing lease and the difference
between FFO and Normalized FFO from equity investees and
noncontrolling interest. CWH considers FFO and Normalized FFO to be
appropriate measures of performance for a REIT, along with net
income, net income attributable to CommonWealth REIT, net income
available for CommonWealth REIT common shareholders, operating
income and cash flow from operating, investing and financing
activities. CWH believes that FFO and Normalized FFO provide useful
information to investors because by excluding the effects of
certain historical amounts, such as depreciation expense, FFO and
Normalized FFO can facilitate a comparison of operating
performances between periods. FFO and Normalized FFO are among the
factors considered by CWH’s Board of Trustees when determining the
amount of distributions to shareholders. Other factors include, but
are not limited to, requirements to maintain CWH’s status as a
REIT, limitations in its credit facilities, term loan agreement and
public debt covenants, the availability of debt and equity capital
to CWH and CWH’s expectation of its future capital requirements and
operating performance. FFO and Normalized FFO do not represent cash
generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and
should not be considered as alternatives to net income, net income
attributable to CommonWealth REIT, net income available for
CommonWealth REIT common shareholders, operating income or cash
flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP,
or as indicators of CWH’s financial performance or liquidity, nor
are FFO and Normalized FFO necessarily indicative of sufficient
cash flow to fund all of CWH’s needs. CWH believes FFO and
Normalized FFO may facilitate an understanding of its consolidated
historical operating results. These measures should be considered
in conjunction with net income, net income attributable to
CommonWealth REIT, net income available for CommonWealth REIT
common shareholders, operating income, and cash flow from operating
activities as presented in CWH’s Condensed Consolidated Statements
of Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate FFO and
Normalized FFO differently than CWH.
(2) As of June 30, 2012, CWH’s 15,180 outstanding series D
preferred shares were convertible into 7,298 common shares. The
effect of a conversion of CWH’s series D convertible preferred
shares on income from continuing operations available for
CommonWealth REIT common shareholders per share is anti-dilutive to
income, but dilutive to FFO and Normalized FFO for most periods
presented. Set forth below is the calculation of diluted net income
available for common shareholders, diluted FFO available for common
shareholders, diluted Normalized FFO available for common
shareholders and diluted weighted average common shares
outstanding.
