NEWTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Government Properties Income Trust (Nasdaq:GOV) today announced its financial results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2017.

David Blackman, President and Chief Operating Officer of GOV, made the following statement:

“Government Properties Income Trust achieved solid leasing results during the second quarter of 2017. We entered into new and renewal leases for over 288,000 square feet of space for rents that were 13.5% higher than previous rents for the same space. We also announced our planned strategic acquisition of First Potomac Realty Trust and began to implement our long term financing and business repositioning plans associated with that acquisition by raising $494 million of net proceeds from the sale of common equity and the issuance of $300 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2022.”

Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2017:

Net income determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, was $11.7 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, compared to net income of $16.8 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The weighted average number of diluted common shares outstanding was 71.1 million for both the quarter ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Normalized funds from operations, or Normalized FFO, for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 were $42.4 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, compared to Normalized FFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 of $43.4 million, or $0.61 per diluted share.

Reconciliations of net income determined in accordance with GAAP to funds from operations, or FFO, and Normalized FFO for the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 appear later in this press release.

Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017:

Net income determined in accordance with GAAP was $19.1 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to net income of $34.2 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The weighted average number of diluted common shares outstanding was 71.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, and 71.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Normalized FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $82.3 million, or $1.16 per diluted share, compared to Normalized FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2016 of $87.7 million, or $1.23 per diluted share.

Reconciliations of net income determined in accordance with GAAP to FFO and Normalized FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 appear later in this press release.

Leasing, Occupancy and Same Property Results:

During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, GOV entered into aggregate new and renewal leases for 288,428 rentable square feet at weighted (by rentable square feet) average rents that were 13.5% above prior rents for the same space. The weighted average (by rentable square feet) lease term for leases entered into during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 was 7.2 years. Leasing concessions and capital commitments for new and renewal leases entered into during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 were $2.5 million, or $1.19 per square foot, per weighted average lease year. Our leasing during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 included approximately 236,000 square feet executed with government tenants for a weighted average (by rentable square feet) of 8.1 years, rents that were an average 15.0% higher than prior rents for the previous space and leasing concessions and capital commitments of $0.85 per square foot, per weighted average lease term.

As of June 30, 2017, 95.0% of GOV’s rentable square feet at properties classified as continuing operations was leased. This compares with 95.1% as of March 31, 2017 and 94.2% as of June 30, 2016. Occupancy for properties classified as continuing operations and owned continuously since April 1, 2016, or same properties, was 94.8% as of June 30, 2017, which compares with 94.5% as of June 30, 2016. Same properties net operating income, or NOI, increased 0.9% and same properties cash basis NOI, or Cash Basis NOI, decreased 0.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016.

Reconciliations of net income determined in accordance with GAAP to NOI and to Cash Basis NOI for the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 appear later in this press release.

Recent Acquisition Activities:

As previously announced, in June 2017, GOV entered a merger agreement to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of First Potomac Realty Trust (NYSE:FPO) for an aggregate transaction value of approximately $1.4 billion, including $11.15 per FPO common share in cash and the repayment or assumption of FPO debt. As part of the FPO Transaction, GOV will acquire FPO's full property portfolio, which includes 39 office and industrial properties (74 buildings) with 6,454,382 rentable square feet, including two joint venture properties which are 50% and 51% owned by FPO. This transaction is subject to the approval of at least a majority of FPO's common shares and other customary conditions and is expected to close prior to year end 2017.

Recent Disposition Activities:

As previously disclosed, in March 2016, GOV entered an agreement to sell an office property (one building) located in Falls Church, VA with 164,746 rentable square feet. GOV agreed to extend the closing date for this sale and increased the sale price by $225,000, which it received as a non-refundable deposit. The contract sale price is now $13.5 million, excluding closing costs and GOV expects this transaction to close in the third quarter of 2017.

Recent Financing Activities:

On July 5, 2017, GOV sold 25,000,000 of its common shares in an underwritten public offering at a price to the public of $18.50 per share. In connection with this offering, GOV granted the underwriters a 30 day option to purchase up to an additional 3,750,000 GOV common shares at a price of $18.50 per share. On July 28, 2017, the underwriters partially exercised this purchase option for 2,907,029 GOV common shares. The aggregate net proceeds from these sales will be approximately $493.8 million, after payment of the underwriters' discount and other offering expenses. GOV used part of the proceeds from these sales to repay amounts outstanding under its revolving credit facility and GOV expects to use the remaining proceeds to finance, in part, the FPO transaction. In the event the FPO transaction is not consummated, GOV expects to use the remaining proceeds from these sales for general business purposes.

Also, in July 2017, GOV issued $300.0 million of 4.000% senior unsecured notes due 2022 in an underwritten public offering. The net proceeds from this offering of approximately $295.4 million, after payment of the underwriters' discount and other offering expenses, are expected to be used to finance, in part, the FPO transaction. In the event the FPO transaction is not consummated on or prior to December 31, 2017, or the related merger agreement is terminated on or at any time prior to that date, GOV will be required to redeem any notes issued pursuant to this offering then outstanding at 101% of the principal amount of such notes plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Distributions declared per share			$	0.43		$	0.43			$	0.86		$	0.86

(1) GOV 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 and the difference between FFO attributable to an equity investment and equity in earnings of an equity investee but excluding impairment charges on real estate assets, any gain or loss on sale of properties, as well as certain other adjustments currently not applicable to GOV. GOV's calculation of Normalized FFO differs from NAREIT's definition of FFO because GOV includes the difference between FFO and Normalized FFO attributable to GOV’s equity investment in Select Income REIT, or SIR, GOV 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 GOV’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 GOV excludes acquisition related costs expensed under GAAP, gains on issuance of shares by SIR and gains on early extinguishment of debt. GOV considers FFO and Normalized FFO to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net income and operating income. GOV 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 may facilitate a comparison of GOV's operating performance between periods and with other REITs. FFO and Normalized FFO are among the factors considered by GOV's Board of Trustees when determining the amount of distributions to its shareholders. Other factors include, but are not limited to, requirements to maintain GOV's qualification for taxation as a REIT, limitations in GOV’s credit agreement and public debt covenants, the availability to GOV of debt and equity capital, GOV's expectation of its future capital requirements and operating performance, GOV’s receipt of distributions from SIR and GOV’s expected needs and availability of cash to pay its obligations. 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 or operating income as an indicator of GOV's operating performance or as a measure of GOV’s liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income and operating income as presented in GOV's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate FFO and Normalized FFO differently than GOV does.

(2) Incentive fees under GOV’s business management agreement 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 GOV’s condensed consolidated statements of income. In calculating net income in accordance with GAAP, GOV recognizes estimated business management incentive fee expense, if any, in the first, second and third quarters. Although GOV recognizes this expense, if any, in the first, second and third quarters for purposes of calculating net income, GOV does not include such expense in the calculation of Normalized FFO until the fourth quarter, when the amount of the business management incentive fee expense for the calendar year, if any, is determined. Net income includes $893 of estimated business management incentive fee expense in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

(1) GOV calculates NOI and Cash Basis NOI as shown above. 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 GOV’s property level results of operations. GOV 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 because GOV records those amounts as depreciation and amortization. GOV defines Cash Basis NOI as NOI excluding non-cash straight line rent adjustments, lease value amortization and non-cash amortization included in other operating expenses. GOV 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 GOV’s properties. GOV uses NOI and Cash Basis NOI to evaluate individual and company wide property level performance, and GOV believes that NOI and Cash Basis NOI provide useful information to investors regarding GOV’s 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 GOV’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 as alternatives to net income or operating income as an indicator of our operating performance or as a measure of GOV’s liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income and operating income as presented in GOV’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate NOI and Cash Basis NOI differently than GOV does.

(2) Excludes one property (one building) classified as discontinued operations.

(3) GOV reports rental income on a straight line basis over the terms of the respective leases; as a result, rental income includes non-cash straight line rent adjustments. Rental income also includes expense reimbursements, tax escalations, parking revenues, service income and other fixed and variable charges paid to GOV by its tenants, as well as the net effect of non-cash amortization of intangible lease assets and liabilities.
