Select Income REIT Announces Third Quarter 2018 Results

Select Income REIT (Nasdaq:SIR) today announced financial results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

David Blackman, President and Chief Executive Officer, made the following statement:

"The major development for Select Income REIT this quarter was our agreement to merge with Government Properties Income Trust. We believe this transaction will create a leading national office REIT with increased scale, strong portfolio characteristics and one of the highest percentages of rent paid by investment grade rated tenants in the office sector. As part of the merger, we expect to distribute to our shareholders all 45,000,000 common shares of Industrial Logistics Properties Trust that we own, completely separating the two companies and positioning our shareholders to possibly benefit from the increased liquidity in ILPT shares.

During the third quarter, we were also successful in operating our business. We sold a 418,000 square foot vacant land parcel in Hawaii for $10.3 million, resulting in a net gain of $4.1 million. We, excluding ILPT, also entered one lease renewal for 72,000 square feet that resulted in a rental rate that was approximately 40% higher than the prior rental rate for the same space and a lease term of 7.6 years."

Results for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2018:

Net income attributed to SIR for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was $29.5 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared to $31.4 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the same period last year. Net income attributed to SIR for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 includes: (1) an unrealized gain on equity securities of $22.8 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, related to SIR's investment in The RMR Group Inc., or RMR Inc., which is included in earnings in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, effective January 1, 2018; (2) a gain on sale of real estate of $4.1 million, or $0.05 per diluted share; (3) a loss on impairment of real estate assets of $9.7 million, or $0.11 per diluted share; (4) a reduction for estimated business management incentive fees of $6.7 million, or $0.07 per diluted share; (5) a reduction for net income allocated to noncontrolling interest representing allocations to public shareholders of Industrial Logistics Properties Trust, or ILPT, SIR's majority owned consolidated subsidiary, of $5.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share; and (6) a reduction for transaction costs of $3.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, related to our pending merger into a wholly owned subsidiary of Government Properties Income Trust (Nasdaq: GOV) and the other transactions contemplated by the agreement and plan of merger with GOV and its wholly owned subsidiary, dated as of September 14, 2018, or the Merger Agreement.

Consolidated Leasing, Occupancy and Same Property Results:

During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, on a consolidated basis, SIR entered lease renewals and new leases for approximately 396,000 square feet, which resulted in weighted average (by square feet) rental rates that were approximately 21.3% higher than prior rental rates for the same space and a weighted average (by square feet) lease term of 11.0 years. Commitments for leasing capital and concessions for these leases totaled approximately $589,000, or approximately $0.13 per square foot per lease year. During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, ILPT also completed 11 rent resets at its properties in Hawaii for approximately 516,000 square feet of land at rental rates that were approximately 20.3% higher than the prior rental rates.

As of September 30, 2018, 95.8% of SIR’s consolidated total rentable square feet was leased, compared to 94.8% as of June 30, 2018 and 96.2% as of September 30, 2017. Consolidated occupancy for properties owned continuously since July 1, 2017, or on a same property basis, decreased to 95.7% at September 30, 2018 from 97.0% at September 30, 2017. Consolidated same property cash basis net operating income, or Cash Basis NOI, increased 4.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2017, primarily as a result of the collection of prior period bad debts and contractual rent increases for certain properties since July 1, 2017.

Merger with Government Properties Income Trust:

As previously announced, in September 2018, SIR, GOV and a wholly owned subsidiary of GOV entered into the Merger Agreement whereby SIR will merge with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of GOV, or the Merger. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, SIR's shareholders will receive 1.04 newly issued common shares of GOV for each common share of SIR they hold, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. Pursuant to the terms and subject to certain conditions of the Merger Agreement, SIR will declare and, at least one business day prior to the completion of the Merger, pay a pro rata distribution to SIR's shareholders of all 45,000,000 common shares of ILPT that SIR owns. SIR expects that in this distribution SIR's shareholders will receive approximately 0.503 of one common share of ILPT for each common share of SIR they hold. Completion of the Merger will require certain approvals of SIR's and GOV's shareholders and the satisfaction or waiver of other conditions and SIR and GOV expect to consummate the Merger by December 31, 2018.

ILPT completed this acquisition in September 2018. This property is 100% leased and has a remaining lease term of approximately 12 years.

Also in September 2018, ILPT acquired a single tenant, net leased property located in Carlisle, PA with 205,090 rentable square feet for a purchase price of $20.0 million, excluding acquisition related costs. This property is 100% leased and has a remaining lease term of approximately seven years.

Also in October 2018, ILPT acquired a multi-tenant, net leased property located in Maple Grove, MN with approximately 319,000 rentable square feet for a purchase price of $27.7 million, excluding acquisition related costs. This property is 100% leased and has a remaining weighted average (by revenue) lease term of approximately six years.

(1) SIR calculates FFO attributed to SIR and Normalized FFO attributed to SIR as shown above. FFO attributed to SIR 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, loss on impairment of real estate assets and the difference between net income and FFO allocated to noncontrolling interest, but excluding gain on sale of real estate, as well as certain other adjustments currently not applicable to SIR. SIR’s calculation of Normalized FFO attributed to SIR differs from Nareit's definition of FFO because SIR includes business management incentive fees, if any, only in the fourth quarter versus the quarter when they are recognized as expense in accordance with GAAP due to their quarterly volatility not necessarily being indicative of SIR’s core operating performance and the uncertainty as to whether any such business management incentive fees will be payable when all contingencies for determining such fees are known at the end of the calendar year and SIR excludes acquisition and transaction related costs expensed under GAAP, loss on asset impairment, loss on early extinguishment of debt, unrealized gain on equity securities and Normalized FFO, net of FFO, from noncontrolling interest, if any. SIR considers FFO attributed to SIR and Normalized FFO attributed to SIR to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net income, net income attributed to a REIT and operating income. SIR believes that FFO attributed to SIR and Normalized FFO attributed to SIR provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation expense, FFO attributed to SIR and Normalized FFO attributed to SIR may facilitate a comparison of its operating performance between periods and with other REITs. FFO attributed to SIR and Normalized FFO attributed to SIR are among the factors considered by SIR’s Board of Trustees when determining the amount of distributions to SIR’s shareholders. Other factors include, but are not limited to, requirements to maintain SIR’s qualification for taxation as a REIT, limitations in SIR’s credit agreement and public debt covenants, the availability to SIR of debt and equity capital, SIR’s expectation of its future capital requirements and operating performance, SIR's receipt of distributions from ILPT and SIR’s expected needs for and availability of cash to pay its obligations. FFO attributed to SIR and Normalized FFO attributed to SIR do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income, net income attributed to SIR or operating income as indicators of SIR’s operating performance or as measures of SIR’s liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income, net income attributed to SIR and operating income as presented in SIR’s condensed consolidated statements of income. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate FFO and Normalized FFO differently than SIR does.

(2) Incentive fees under SIR’s business management agreements with The RMR Group LLC are payable after the end of each calendar year, are calculated based on common share total return, as defined, and are included in general and administrative expenses in SIR’s condensed consolidated statements of income. In calculating net income in accordance with GAAP, SIR recognizes estimated business management incentive fee expense, if any, in the first, second and third quarters. Although SIR recognizes this expense, if any, in the first, second and third quarters for purposes of calculating net income, SIR does not include such expense in the calculation of Normalized FFO attributed to SIR until the fourth quarter, when the amount of the business management incentive fee expense for the calendar year, if any, is determined. Normalized FFO attributed to SIR excludes $6,664 of estimated business management incentive fee expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018, and the reversal of previously accrued estimated business management incentive fees of $5,478 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, and estimated business management incentive fee expense of $21,479 and $3,288 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

(3) Unrealized gain on equity securities represents the adjustment required to adjust the carrying value of SIR's investment in RMR Inc. common stock to its fair value as of September 30, 2018 in accordance with new GAAP standards effective January 1, 2018.

See footnotes on page 13.

(1) The calculations of NOI and Cash Basis NOI exclude certain components of net income in order to provide results that are more closely related to SIR’s property level results of operations. SIR calculates NOI and Cash Basis NOI as shown above. SIR defines NOI as income from its rental of real estate less its property operating expenses. NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions that SIR records as depreciation and amortization. SIR defines Cash Basis NOI as NOI excluding non-cash straight line rent adjustments, lease value amortization, lease termination fees, if any, and non-cash amortization included in other operating expenses. SIR considers NOI and Cash Basis NOI to be appropriate supplemental measures to net income because they may help both investors and management to understand the operations of SIR’s properties. SIR uses NOI and Cash Basis NOI to evaluate individual and company wide property level performance, and SIR believes that NOI and Cash Basis NOI provide useful information to investors regarding its results of operations because they reflect only those income and expense items that are generated and incurred at the property level and may facilitate comparisons of SIR’s operating performance between periods and with other REITs. NOI and Cash Basis NOI do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income, net income attributed to SIR or operating income as indicators of SIR’s operating performance or as measures of SIR’s liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income, net income attributed to SIR and operating income as presented in SIR’s condensed consolidated statements of income. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate NOI and Cash Basis NOI differently than SIR does.

(2) SIR reports rental income on a straight line basis over the terms of the respective leases; accordingly, rental income includes non-cash straight line rent adjustments. Rental income also includes non-cash amortization of intangible lease assets and liabilities and lease termination fees, if any.

(3) SIR recorded a liability for the amount by which the estimated fair value for accounting purposes exceeded the price SIR paid for its investment in RMR Inc. common stock in June 2015. A portion of this liability is being amortized on a straight line basis through December 31, 2035 as a reduction to property management fees, which are included in other operating expenses.

(4) During the three months ended September 30, 2018, SIR recorded a gain on sale of real estate of $4,075 in connection with the sale of one of SIR's 100% owned land parcels in Kapolei, HI.

(5) During the three months ended September 30, 2018, SIR recorded a loss on impairment of real estate assets of $9,706 to reduce the carrying value of one property located in Hanover, PA to its estimated fair value less costs to sell.

(6) In May 2018, one of SIR’s tenants defaulted on its lease for a property located in Naperville, IL with approximately 820,000 rentable square feet and an original lease expiration date of March 31, 2029. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, SIR recorded a non-cash charge of $10,626 to write off straight line rents receivable related to this lease. The lease with the tenant that defaulted was amended effective October 1, 2018. Under the terms of such lease amendment, the tenant paid amounts outstanding under the original lease for the period through September 30, 2018, and made a partial payment for unpaid real estate taxes. In addition, the tenant made a one time payment of $2,000 for deferred capital costs, and its first monthly payment of $250 to offset building expenses that were previously paid directly by the tenant but that are currently paid by SIR. The tenant assigned its subleases at the property to SIR and continues to occupy and pay rent on 147,045 square feet and has agreed to do so for 30 months from the date of the amendment.
