PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y., Aug. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: CDR) today reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Bruce Schanzer, President and CEO of Cedar, stated, "Our results represent consistent operating performance, highlighted by positive leasing spreads and momentum. We continue to focus on our core competencies of leasing and operations, while committing additional resources toward repositioning our portfolio through acquisitions, non-core dispositions and redevelopment activities. Together, these efforts should result in the creation of additional growth and long-term shareholder value."
Financial Results
Operating FFO for second quarter 2013 was $9.0 million or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to $11.2 million or $0.16 per diluted share for the same period in 2012. Operating FFO for six months ended June 30, 2013 was $17.7 million or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to $19.2 million or $0.27 per diluted share for the same period in 2012. Operating FFO for second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012 included $3.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, of termination related income in connection with replacing a dark anchor at the Company's Oakland Commons shopping center in Bristol, Connecticut.
Net income attributable to common shareholders for second quarter 2013 was $1.0 million or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to $1.2 million or $0.01 per diluted share for the same period in 2012. Net income attributable to common shareholders for six months ended June 30, 2013 was $65,000 or $0.00 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(8.1) million or $(0.13) per diluted share for the same period in 2012.
Portfolio Results
For second quarter 2013, same-property NOI increased 2.4% including redevelopment and expansion properties, and 1.4% excluding redevelopment and expansion properties, compared to the same period in 2012. These figures exclude the timing impact associated with replacing the dark anchor at Oakland Commons with a Walmart Neighborhood Market.
The Company signed 37 leases for approximately 350,000 square feet in second quarter of 2013. On a comparable space basis, the Company leased 344,000 square feet at a positive lease spread of 10.3% on a cash basis (new leases increased 17.8% and renewals increased 9.7%).
The Company's total portfolio, excluding properties held for sale, was 92.7% leased and 92.0% occupied at June 30, 2013. The Company's same-property portfolio was 93.9% leased and 93.4% occupied at June 30, 2013. Other than a 50 basis points increase in total portfolio occupancy, these percentages are generally consistent with the prior quarter.
Balance Sheet Activity
The Company previously announced its plan to divest certain non-core assets in order to improve its geographic and asset type focus and reduce its debt to EBITDA ratio from in excess of 9.0 times to less than 8.0 times. As of June 30, 2013, the Company reported net debt to EBITDA ratio of 8.0 times and had realized $107 million of its targeted $150 million of net proceeds from dispositions.
New Credit Facility
On August 1, 2013, the Company closed on a new $310 million unsecured credit facility. The new facility is comprised of a three-year $260 million revolving credit facility, expiring in August 2016 (subject to two one-year extension options), and a five-year $50 million term loan, expiring in August 2018. Borrowings under the new facility are initially priced at LIBOR plus 195 bps (a weighted average rate of 2.2% per annum) and, at the closing, the Company had approximately $117 million available for additional borrowings.
2013 Guidance
The Company raised the low end of its 2013 Operating FFO guidance to an updated range of $0.47 to $0.49 per diluted share from $0.46 to $0.49 per diluted share.
Quarterly Dividends
As previously announced, the Company will pay a cash dividend of $0.05 per share on the Company's common stock and $0.453125 per share on the Company's 7.25% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock on August 20, 2013 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 9, 2013.
Funds From Operations Reconciliation
The Company reports FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). FFO is a widely-recognized non-GAAP financial measure for REITs that the Company believes, when considered with financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, is useful to investors in understanding financial performance and providing a relevant basis for comparison among REITs. The Company's computation of FFO, as detailed in the attached schedule, is in accordance with NAREIT's pronouncements. The Company also presents "Operating FFO", which excludes certain items that are not indicative of the results provided by the Company's consolidated portfolio and that affect the comparability of the Company's period-over-period performance, as also detailed in the attached schedule.
