Kilroy Realty Corporation Reports Third Quarter Financial Results

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Kilroy Realty Corporation today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2012, with a net loss available to common stockholders of $2.8 million, or $0.04 per share, compared to net income available to common stockholders of $10.2 million, or $0.17 per share, in the third quarter of 2011. Revenues from continuing operations in the third quarter totaled $104.3 million, up from $86.4 million in the prior year's third quarter. Funds from operations (FFO) for the period totaled $43.1 million, or $0.57 per share, compared to $33.9 million, or $0.56 per share, in the year-earlier period. Net loss available to common stockholders and FFO for the third quarter of 2012 included a one-time, non-cash charge of approximately $2.1 million, or $0.03 per share, in conjunction with the redemption of all of the company's Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units.

Results for the third quarter of 2012 include $0.01 per share of acquisition-related expenses and also reflect the company's public offering of 5.75 million shares of common stock sold at a price of $46.10 per share, which closed on August 13, 2012. Net loss available to common stockholders in the third quarter of 2012 also included an increase in depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $10.8 million attributable to depreciation and amortization for the company's recent acquisition properties.

For the first nine months of 2012, KRC reported net income available to common stockholders of $64.0 million, or $0.92 per share, compared to $10.9 million, or $0.18 per share, in the first nine months of 2011. Revenues from continuing operations in the nine-month period totaled $293.8 million, up from $243.4 million in the same period of 2011. FFO for the first nine months of 2012 totaled $115.6 million, or $1.61 per share, compared to $95.6 million, or $1.62 per share, in the same period of 2011. Net income in the first nine months of 2012 included approximately $72.8 million of net gains from property dispositions. All per share amounts in this report are presented on a diluted basis.

KRC also announced that it has entered into agreements to sell its entire Orange County industrial portfolio and five additional Southern California office buildings. The transactions are expected to close by year-end 2012, subject to customary closing conditions. Accordingly, these assets have been reclassified as properties held for sale and their financial results are accounted for as discontinued operations in the 2012 third-quarter and nine-month financial statements.

At September 30, 2012, the company's stabilized portfolio, encompassing approximately 12.7 million square feet of office space located in greater Seattle, the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego, was 91.1% occupied.

As previously announced, KRC completed three operating property acquisitions since the end of the second quarter: Skyline Tower, a 24-story Class A office building in Bellevue, Washington; Sunset Media Center, a 22-story Class A office building in Hollywood; and Tribeca West, a three-story entertainment-oriented office building in West Los Angeles.

In addition, the company completed the acquisition of three development opportunities: 333 Brannan Street, a development site in San Francisco's SOMA district; Columbia Square, an historic 4.7 acre media campus in Hollywood; and 350 Mission Street, a development site in San Francisco's South of Market financial district.

Details of all these transactions are available in the News section on the company's website.

Since the beginning of 2012, KRC has completed the purchase of 13 office buildings in six transactions aggregating approximately 1.7 million square feet of space for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $645 million. The company also has added four individual projects to its development and redevelopment pipeline, acquiring the four projects for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $210 million. The company estimates that its total investment, including land, in these four development and redevelopment projects will aggregate approximately $846 million.

"KRC continues to build the breadth, diversity, value and financial strength of its West Coast real estate operations," said John Kilroy, Jr., the company's president and chief executive officer. "We're leveraging the expertise and local knowledge of our talented management team to acquire top quality properties and development opportunities in the West Coast's most economically vibrant markets. We're also pursuing an active disposition program to generate capital from the sale of non-strategic assets and maintain a conservatively leveraged balance sheet in what remains a highly volatile business environment."
