STAG Industrial, Inc.

 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

(unaudited)

 

1. Organization and Description of Business

 

STAG Industrial, Inc. (the “Company”) is a fully-integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate company focused on the acquisition, ownership and management of single-tenant industrial buildings throughout the United States. The Company was formed as a Maryland corporation on July 21, 2010 and has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Company is structured as an umbrella partnership REIT, commonly called an UPREIT, and owns substantially all of its assets and conducts substantially all of its business through its operating partnership, STAG Industrial Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”).  As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company owned an 85.96% and 85.29% limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, respectively.  As used herein, the “Company” refers to STAG Industrial, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and partnerships except where context otherwise requires.

 

As of June 30, 2013, the Company owned 194 buildings in 33 states with approximately 33.3 million square feet, consisting of 132 warehouse/distribution buildings, 42 light manufacturing buildings and 20 flex/office buildings.  The Company also owned one vacant land parcel adjacent to one of the Company’s buildings.  The Company’s buildings were 93.9% leased to 174 tenants as of June 30, 2013.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Interim Financial Information

 

The accompanying interim financial statements have been presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q of Regulation S-X for interim financial information.  Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with GAAP.  Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership and their subsidiaries. The equity interests of other limited partners in the Operating Partnership held in the form of common units (“Noncontrolling Common Units” or “Common Units”) are reflected as noncontrolling interest.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation and combination of entities. The financial statements of the Company are presented on a consolidated basis, for all periods presented.

 

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which requires an entity to present information about reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income in their interim and annual financial statements in a single note or on the face of the financial statements. ASU 2013-02 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2013. The Company’s adoption of this authoritative guidance did not have a material impact on its operating results or financial position.

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash may include security deposits and cash held in escrow for real estate taxes and capital improvements as required in various mortgage loan agreements. Restricted cash also may include amounts held by the Company’s transfer agent for preferred stock dividends that are distributed subsequent to June 30, 2013.  As of June 30, 2013, restricted cash included $2.5 million, which amount was held by the Company’s transfer agent for preferred stock dividends and distributed subsequent to June 30, 2013.

 

Tenant Accounts Receivable, net

 

Tenant accounts receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, includes both tenant accounts receivable, net and accrued rental income, net. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts against the portion of tenant accounts receivable that is estimated to be uncollectible. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of $19 thousand and $0, respectively.

 

The Company accrues rental revenue earned, but not yet receivable, in accordance with GAAP. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had accrued rental revenue of $7.9 million and $6.4 million, respectively. The Company maintains an allowance for estimated losses that may result from those revenues. If a tenant fails to make contractual payments beyond any allowance, the Company may recognize additional bad debt expense in future periods equal to the amount of unpaid rent and accrued rental revenue. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had an allowance on accrued rental revenue of $0 and $0, respectively.

 

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had a total of approximately $4.9 million and $4.8 million, respectively, of total lease security deposits available in existing letters of credit, which are not reflected on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets; and $2.7 million and $2.0 million, respectively, of lease security deposits available in cash.

 

Deferred Costs

 

Deferred financing fees include costs incurred in obtaining debt that are capitalized. The deferred financing fees are amortized to interest expense over the life of the respective loans, which approximates the effective interest method.  Any unamortized amounts upon early repayment of debt are written off in the period of repayment. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, amortization of deferred financing fees included in interest expense was $0.3 million, $0.6 million, $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Fully amortized deferred charges are removed upon maturity of the underlying debt.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

By the terms of their leases, certain tenants are obligated to pay directly the costs of their buildings’ insurance, real estate taxes, ground lease payments, and certain other expenses and these costs are not reflected on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. To the extent any tenant responsible for these costs under its lease defaults on its lease or it is deemed probable that the tenant will fail to pay for such costs, the Company will record a liability for such obligations.  The Company estimates that real estate taxes, which are the responsibility of these certain tenants, were approximately $2.3 million, $4.6 million, $1.6 million and $3.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. This would have been the maximum liability of the Company had the tenants not met their contractual obligations. The Company does not recognize recovery revenue related to leases where the tenant has assumed the cost for real estate taxes, insurance, ground lease payments and certain other expenses.

Income Taxes

 

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2011 and intends to continue to qualify as a REIT. As a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders and meet the various other requirements imposed by the Code relating to such matters as operating results, asset holdings, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. The Company is generally not subject to corporate level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to its stockholders that it derives from its REIT qualifying activities. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, and is unable to avail itself of certain savings provisions set forth in the Code, all of the Company’s taxable income would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates, including any applicable alternative minimum tax.

 

The Company will not be required to make distributions with respect to income derived from the activities conducted through subsidiaries that the Company elects to treat as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”) for federal income tax purposes. Certain activities that the Company undertakes must be conducted by a TRS, such as performing non-customary services for its tenants and holding assets that it cannot hold directly. A TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes.  The Company’s TRS did not have any activity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012.

 

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to certain state and local income, excise and franchise taxes. Taxes in the amount of $0.1 million, $0.2 million, $9 thousand, and $0.1 million have been recorded in other expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively.

 

The Company currently has no liabilities for uncertain tax positions.

As partial consideration for eight buildings acquired on June 19, 2013, the Company granted 555,758 Common Units in the Operating Partnership with a fair value of approximately $11.5 million.  The issuance of the Common Units was effected in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company relied on the exemption based on representations given by the holders of the Common Units. The remaining purchase price of approximately $40.1 million was paid in cash.

 

The Company has included the results of operations for each of the 23 buildings acquired in its Consolidated Statements of Operations from the date of acquisition.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the entities acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2013 contributed $3.0 million and $3.4 million, respectively, to total revenue and $0.6 million and $1.2 million to net loss including building acquisition costs of $1.2 million and $1.7 million related to the acquisition of the buildings.

 

The following tables set forth pro forma information for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.  The below pro forma information does not purport to represent what the actual results of operations of the Company would have been had the acquisitions outlined above occurred on the first day of the applicable reporting period, nor do they purport to predict the results of operations of future periods.  The pro forma information has not been adjusted for property sales.

The Company assesses deferred leasing intangibles for impairments on a quarterly basis when certain triggering events are met.  If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values of certain deferred lease intangibles may be impaired, a recovery analysis is performed based on undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated from the tenant over the remaining lease term.  If the recovery analysis indicates the carrying value of the tested lease intangibles are not recoverable from estimated future cash flows, it is written down to its estimated fair value and an impairment loss is recognized.  The fair value is determined based on the contractual lease rental payments over the remaining term discounted back to the current reporting period.  On June 11, 2012, the Company received notice from a tenant that the tenant was exercising an option in their lease to downsize their space from approximately 190,000 to 60,000 rentable square feet effective March 31, 2013.  After determining the undiscounted future cash flows were not recoverable, the Company calculated the fair value of the lease intangibles. Using the remaining contractual lease payments for the reduced space and discounting the cash flows at a risk adjusted return for a market participant of 11.4%, it was determined that the fair value of the lease intangibles was $0.4 million resulting in a noncash impairment loss of $0.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, which is reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.  The fair value calculation of the lease intangibles of $0.4 million was performed using Level 3 inputs, and this is a nonrecurring fair value measurement.

·                  a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of not greater than 0.60:1.00;

 

·                  a maximum secured leverage ratio of not greater than 0.45:1.00;

 

·                  a maximum unencumbered leverage ratio of not greater than 0.60:100;

 

·                  a maximum secured recourse debt ratio of not greater than 7.5%;

 

·                  a minimum fixed charge ratio of not less than 1.50 to 1.00;

 

·                  a minimum tangible net worth covenant test; and

Fair Value of Debt

 

The fair value of the Company’s debt was determined by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings for loans with similar remaining maturities, similar terms, and similar loan-to-value ratios. The discount rates ranged from 1.85% to 5.24% and 1.86% to 4.64% at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and were applied to each individual debt instrument. The fair value of the Company’s debt is based on Level 3 inputs. The following table presents the aggregate carrying value of the Company’s debt and the corresponding estimate of fair value as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

6. Use of Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

 

The Company’s use of derivative instruments is limited to the utilization of interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk exposures and not for speculative purposes. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Company’s operating and financial structure, as well as to hedge specific transactions.

 

On March 1, 2013, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for notional amount of $25.0 million with an effective date of March 1, 2013 that converts the one-month LIBOR rate on the $25.0 million then outstanding balance of the Wells Fargo Unsecured Term Loan from a variable rate of one-month LIBOR plus a spread of 2.15% to 2.70% based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio to a fixed rate of 1.33% plus a spread of 2.15% to 2.70% based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. This swap was designated as a cash flow hedge of interest rate risk.

 

On June 13, 2013, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements for notional amounts of $50.0 million and $25.0 million with effective dates of July 1, 2013 and August 1, 2013 that will convert the one-month LIBOR rate on the Wells Fargo Unsecured Term Loan from a variable rate of one-month LIBOR plus a spread of 2.15% to 2.70% based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio to a fixed rate of 1.681% and 1.703%, respectively, plus a spread of 2.15% to 2.70% based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. These swaps were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

 

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate swaps are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements.  Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

 

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifies as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. On September 14, 2012, the Company commenced a program of utilizing such designated derivatives to hedge the variable cash flows associated with certain variable-rate debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company did not record any hedge ineffectiveness related to the hedged derivatives.

 

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. The Company estimates that an additional $1.9 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income as a decrease to interest expense over the next twelve months.

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to the interest rate swaps.  The Company minimizes this risk exposure by limiting counterparties to major banks and investment brokers who meet established credit and capital guidelines.

 

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

 

As of June 30, 2013, the fair values of the interest rate swaps are in a net asset position of $3.6 million, which includes accrued interest, but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements. As of June 30, 2013, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements.  The adjustment for nonperformance risk included in the fair value of the Company’s net asset position was $0.4 million as of June 30, 2013.

 

Fair Value of Interest Rate Swaps

 

The valuation of the interest rate swaps is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market- based inputs including interest rate curves. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined by using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company applied the provisions of this standard to the valuation of its interest rate swaps.

 

The following sets forth the Company’s financial instruments that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

Preferred Stock

 

Pursuant to its charter, the Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. On November 2, 2011, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 2,760,000 shares (including 360,000 shares issued pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option) of 9.0% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), at a price to the public of $25.00 per share.  Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are payable quarterly in arrears on or about the last day of March, June, September and December of each year. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s common stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.  The Series A Preferred Stock has no stated maturity date and is not subject to mandatory redemption or any sinking fund. Generally, the Company is not permitted to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock prior to November 2, 2016, except in limited circumstances relating to the Company’s ability to qualify as a REIT and in certain other circumstances related to a change of control (as defined in the articles supplementary for the Series A Preferred Stock).

 

On April 16, 2013, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 2,800,000 shares (including 300,000 shares issued pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option) of 6.625% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), at a price to the public of $25.00 per share.  The Company received net proceeds of $67.8 million, reflecting gross proceeds of $70.0 million net of the underwriters discount of $2.2 million. The Company also incurred direct offering costs of $0.2 million. The underwriters’ discount of $2.2 million and $0.2 million of direct offering costs incurred are reflected as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the Consolidated Balance Sheet of the Company.   Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock are payable quarterly in arrears on or about the last day of March, June, September and December of each year. The Series B Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s common stock and on parity with the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.  The Series B Preferred Stock has no stated maturity date and is not subject to mandatory redemption or any sinking fund. Generally, the Company is not permitted to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock prior to April 16, 2018, except in limited circumstances relating to the Company’s ability to qualify as a REIT and in certain other circumstances related to a change of control (as defined in the articles supplementary for the Series B Preferred Stock).  The Company used the net proceeds to pay off the outstanding amount due under the Unsecured Credit Facility and to fund acquisitions.
