Agree Realty Corporation (NYSE: ADC) today announced results for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. Second quarter funds from operations (FFO) increased to $5,723,000 compared with FFO in the second quarter of 2011 of $5,431,000. FFO per diluted share for the second quarter of 2012 was $0.50 compared with $0.54 for the second quarter of 2011. The decrease in FFO per share was primarily due to the increase in the weighted average shares outstanding as the result of the common share offering in January 2012. A reconciliation of net income to FFO is included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.
Net income for the second quarter of 2012 increased to $5,090,000, or $0.44 per diluted share, compared to net income for the second quarter of 2011 of $3,823,000, or $.38 per share. Total revenues increased to $9,236,000, compared with total revenues of $8,516,000 in the second quarter of 2011.
For the six months ended June 30, 2012, FFO was $11,231,000 compared with FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2011 of $11,749,000. FFO per diluted share was $0.99 compared with $1.17 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. FFO and FFO per share decreased due to an increase in the weighted average shares outstanding as the result of the common share offering in January 2012, the disposition of various non-core properties and the impact of the Borders bankruptcy in February 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, net income increased to $9,832,000, or $0.87 per diluted share, compared with net income for the comparable period last year of $8,523,000, or $.85 per diluted share. Total revenues increased 4.7% to $18,244,000 compared with total revenues of $17,421,000 for the comparable period last year.
"I am extremely pleased to report positive operating results for the quarter. Our efforts to expand and improve our portfolio have begun to materialize as our total revenues and funds from operations for the quarter have both increased over the comparable quarter," said Joey Agree, President and Chief Operating Officer. "During the quarter, we have improved our portfolio occupancy, disposed of non-core assets, made significant development announcements and exceeded our acquisition expectations."
Acquisitions
The Company acquired three retail properties as well as the fee interest in the land underlying its Walgreens store in Ann Arbor, Michigan during the second quarter for approximately $22 million. The single tenant properties acquired are net leased to Lowe's Home Improvement in Portland, Oregon, Dollar General Market in Cochran, Georgia, and Jared the Galleria in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Dispositions
The Company sold two non-core assets: the former Borders location in Omaha, Nebraska for approximately $2,750,000 in May 2012 as well as the Kmart anchored Charlevoix Commons shopping center for approximately $3,500,000 in June 2012.

In November 2011, the Company announced that it had closed on the acquisition of a parcel of land in Southfield, Michigan to be ground leased to McDonald's. McDonald's completed construction on the restaurant and opened in May 2012.

(1) FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (NAREIT) to mean net income computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. In addition, NAREIT has recently clarified the computation of FFO to exclude impairment charges on depreciable property. Management has restated FFO for prior periods presented accordingly. Management uses FFO as a supplemental measure to conduct and evaluate the Company's business because there are certain limitations associated with using GAAP net income by itself as the primary measure of the Company's operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management believes that the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting is insufficient by itself.
FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as the primary indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Further, while the Company adheres to the NAREIT definition of FFO, its presentation of FFO is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs due to the fact that not all REITs use the same definition.
