Post Properties, Inc. (NYSE: PPS) announced today net income available to common shareholders of $62.0 million for the second quarter of 2007, compared to $12.1 million for the second quarter of 2006. On a diluted per share basis, net income available to common shareholders was $1.40 for the second quarter of 2007, compared to $0.28 for the second quarter of 2006. Net income available to common shareholders was $84.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $15.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. On a diluted per share basis, net income available to common shareholders was $1.91 and $0.35 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company’s reported net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 included a net gain on the sale of an apartment community in the first quarter of approximately $16.7 million, as well as gains of approximately $55.3 million on the sale of a 75% interest in two apartment communities converted to joint venture ownership in the second quarter. 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 second quarter of 2007 totaled $22.1 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, compared to $22.1 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2006. The Company’s reported FFO for the second quarter of 2007 included a gain of approximately $1.7 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, on the sale of a land site in Dallas, Texas, offset by non-cash compensation expense of approximately $0.9 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, related to a variable compensation plan; neither was included in the Company’s previous earnings guidance. FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2007 totaled $42.8 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, compared to $42.1 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, for the first half of 2006. The Company’s reported FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2007 included net gains of approximately $3.9 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, on the sale of land sites in Atlanta, Georgia and Dallas, Texas. The Company’s reported FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2006 included approximately $1.7 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, of non-cash other income related to the mark-to-market of an ineffective interest rate swap prior to its termination. David Stockert, CEO and President of Post Properties, said, "We are pleased with results for the second quarter. Apartment market conditions remain favorable, our condominium business produced solid results and we grew our development pipeline, commencing two new projects. We also expanded our private equity base, strengthened the balance sheet and confirmed the value of the Post® platform and brand through a new joint venture relationship.” Mature (Same Store) Community Data For the second quarter of 2007, average economic occupancy at the Company’s 46 mature (same store) communities, containing 17,076 apartment units, was 94.4%, compared to 95.2% for the second quarter of 2006. Total revenues for the mature communities increased 4.5% during the second quarter of 2007, compared to the second quarter of 2006, and operating expenses increased 5.0%, producing a 4.2% increase in same store net operating income ("NOI”), or $1.6 million. The average monthly rental rate per unit increased 5.7% during the second quarter of 2007, compared to the second quarter of 2006. Property tax and insurance expenses accounted for a majority of the increase in operating expenses. On a sequential basis, total revenues and operating expenses for the mature communities increased 1.6% and 2.6%, respectively, producing a 1.0% increase in same store NOI for the second quarter of 2007, compared to the first quarter of 2007, or $0.4 million. On a sequential basis, the average monthly rental rate per unit increased 0.7%. Property tax and maintenance expenses accounted for a majority of the sequential increase in operating expenses. For the second quarter of 2007, average economic occupancy at the mature communities was 94.4%, compared to 94.1% for the first quarter of 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, average economic occupancy at the Company’s mature communities was 94.2% compared to 95.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Total revenues for the mature communities increased 4.9% during the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006, and operating expenses increased 4.6% producing a 5.1% increase in same store NOI, or $3.8 million. The average monthly rental rate per unit increased 6.3% during the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. 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 by geographic market is also included in the financial data (Table 3) accompanying this press release. Development, Acquisitions, Dispositions and Other Investment Activity Development Activity and Land Acquisitions In July 2007, the Company and its venture partners commenced construction of a 34-story mixed-use development containing approximately 411,000 square feet of office space, approximately 14,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space and 137 luxury condominium residences with a total of approximately 250,000 square feet in Atlanta, Georgia. The residential portion of this project is being developed in a 50-50 joint venture by the Company and Novare, an Atlanta-based condominium developer. The Residences at 3630 Peachtree™ will start on the 18th floor, which is also the amenity level, and will have unobstructed views of the downtown Atlanta and Buckhead skylines. The office portion of the project is being developed by two leading office developers. The Company’s proportionate share of the investment in this venture is currently expected to be approximately $53.1 million (including approximately $5.5 million of land and infrastructure costs relating to a second residential tower expected to be developed in the future). In July 2007, the Company also announced the start of construction of Post Walk® at Citrus Park Village, a 296-unit resort-style garden apartment community in Tampa, Florida. The Company’s total investment in this project is currently expected to be approximately $41.4 million. During the second quarter of 2007, the Company and its joint venture partner acquired a third site in the Allen Plaza district of downtown Atlanta, Georgia along Centennial Olympic Park Drive for a total investment of approximately $8.3 million. This approximately 2 acre site is expected to be held for future development, which has the potential to include high-rise residential homes over retail amenities. During the third quarter of 2007, the Company acquired a site in Austin, Texas for a total investment of approximately $6.4 million. This approximately 4 acre site, located approximately one mile south of Town Lake and the Austin central business district, is expected to be redeveloped by the Company to include approximately 280 apartment units and approximately 10,000 square feet of retail amenities. This site currently contains an older apartment community which is expected to be demolished as part of the Company’s development plan. The Company also closed the acquisition of an approximately 0.9 acre site adjacent to another site in Austin that it acquired in the first quarter of 2007. As of June 30, 2007, the Company’s aggregate pipeline of development projects under construction was approximately $395 million. The Company also owns or has under contract land for which it is in pre-development with respect to approximately 2,744 rental apartment units, approximately 236 for-sale condominium units and approximately 190,900 square feet of retail amenities. Total projected future development costs of this pre-development pipeline are estimated to be approximately $730 million and construction of these projects is generally expected to commence within the next 6 to 18 months. There can be no assurance that projects in pre-development will commence construction, that actual pre-development costs will approximate estimated costs or that land purchases under contract will close. In certain situations, the Company expects to initiate a pre-sale program for for-sale condominium projects before it commences construction. Dispositions During the second quarter of 2007, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with an affiliate of Crow Holdings of Dallas, Texas on two of its garden-style Atlanta, Georgia apartment communities, totaling 806 units. The Company retained a 25% ownership in the venture. The sale of the 75% interest generated net proceeds of approximately $110.8 million (including secured debt financing obtained at the venture level). Additionally, the Company realized a gain from continuing operations of $55.3 million, or $1.23 per diluted share, related to the sale. The parties also currently expect that a third Post® community in Atlanta, Georgia will be included in the venture at a later date. During the second quarter of 2007, the Company also closed the sale of an approximately 4 acre site in the Addison submarket of Dallas, Texas for an aggregate gross sales price of approximately $3.3 million. The Company realized a gain on the sale of approximately $1.7 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, which is included in FFO for the quarter. Apartment Community Renovation Program The Company is currently undertaking substantial renovations and improvements of two of its apartment communities, containing 890 units, located in Atlanta, Georgia and Dallas, Texas. The Company believes that the long-term value of these two communities will be enhanced as a result of the renovations; however, operating results at these two communities have been and will continue to be affected negatively by increased vacancy during the renovation period. As of June 30, 2007, the renovation of 610 units had been completed at these two communities. Condominium Activity During the second quarter of 2007, the Company was converting three apartment communities, initially consisting of 470 units, to condominiums through a taxable REIT subsidiary. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company closed the sales of 34 units for aggregate gross sales revenues of approximately $8.2 million. In the aggregate, as of July 23, 2007, the Company has closed the sales of 313 (67%) of the units in these three condominium conversions and placed another 16 units (3%) under contract. The Company is also currently developing three condominium communities, containing 367 units, located in Alexandria, Virginia, Dallas, Texas and Atlanta, Georgia. Of those units, 22 were under contract and 53 units had closed as of July 23, 2007 at the Alexandria, Virginia development, and 22 were under contract and 2 units had closed as of July 23, 2007 at the Dallas, Texas development. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company closed the sales of 35 units at its Alexandria, Virginia community for aggregate gross sales revenues of approximately $17.2 million. There can be no assurance that condominium units under contract at any of the Company’s condominium conversion or development communities will close. The Company recognized approximately $2.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, of incremental gains on condominium sales, net of minority interest, in FFO during the second quarter of 2007, compared to approximately $1.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, during the second quarter of 2006. The Company reports condominium gains (losses) in its consolidated statement of operations in the captions titled gains (losses) on sales of real estate assets in continuing and discontinued operations and in equity in income of unconsolidated real estate entities. Financing Activity During the second quarter of 2007, the Company repaid approximately $25 million of unsecured notes from its unsecured line of credit. In July 2007, the Company repaid $83 million of secured debt with funds drawn from its unsecured line of credit. The weighted average interest rate on the debt repaid was approximately 7.2%. Total debt and preferred equity as a percentage of undepreciated real estate assets (adjusted for joint venture partners’ share of debt) was 40.6% at June 30, 2007, and variable rate debt as a percentage of total debt was 5.5% as of that same date. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding borrowings of approximately $41.3 million on its combined $480 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. Third Quarter 2007 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 market, the for-sale condominium market and general economic conditions as well as litigation and 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. For the third quarter of 2007, the Company expects that net income available to common shareholders will be in the range of $0.15 to $0.19 per diluted share (excluding gains, if any, on sales of apartment assets) and that FFO will be in the range of approximately $0.47 to $0.50 per diluted share. A reconciliation of forecasted net income per diluted share to forecasted FFO per diluted share for the third quarter of 2007 is included in the financial data (Table 5) accompanying this press release. The estimates of per share FFO for the third quarter of 2007 are based on the following assumptions: An expected increase in same store NOI of 4.3% to 5.3%, compared to the third quarter of 2006, based on: An increase in same store revenue of 3.9% to 4.4% An increase in same store operating expenses of 2.9% to 3.4% Sequentially, an expected increase in same store NOI of 1.5% to 2.5%, compared to the second quarter of 2007 based on: An increase in same store revenue of 1.8% to 2.3% An increase in same store operating expenses of 1.7% to 2.2% Gains from condominium sales, net of provision for income taxes, of approximately $0.04 to $0.06 per diluted share In the aggregate, general and administrative, investment and development costs (net of amounts capitalized to development projects) and property management expenses are expected to be flat to slightly lower in the third quarter of 2007, compared to the second quarter of 2007 Lease-up deficits attributable to the initial lease up of the newly developed projects of approximately $0.02 per diluted share Supplemental Financial Data The Company also produces Supplemental Financial Data that includes detailed information regarding the Company’s operating results and balance sheet. This Supplemental Financial Data is considered an integral part of this earnings release and is available on the Company’s website. The Company’s Earnings Release and the Supplemental Financial Data are available through the investor relations/financial reports/quarterly and other reports section of the Company’s website at www.postproperties.com. The ability to access the attachments on the Company’s website requires the Adobe Acrobat 4.0 Reader, which may be downloaded at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html. 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 24 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 non-cash impact of straight-line, long-term ground lease expense and other income related to the mark-to-market of an interest rate swap arrangement. 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. Prior period amounts have been conformed to the current period presentation. Property Net Operating Income – 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.
