*Financial and Operating Results*
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, funds from operations ("FFO"), a widely accepted supplemental measure of REIT performance established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, was $11.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share for the Kite Portfolio, compared to $7.9 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, as adjusted, for the same period in the prior year. Without the adjustment of a $1.3 million litigation charge, FFO for the first quarter of 2012 for the Kite Portfolio was $0.09 per diluted share. The Company's allocable share of FFO was $10.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $5.9 million for the same period in 2012.
Given the nature of the Company's business as a real estate owner and operator, the Company believes that FFO and FFO, as adjusted, are helpful to investors when measuring operating performance because they exclude various items included in net income or loss that do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, such as gains or losses from sales and impairments of operating properties, and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. For informational purposes, we have also provided FFO adjusted for the litigation charge recorded in the first quarter of 2012 and the write-off of deferred loan costs in the first quarter of 2013. We believe this supplemental information provides a meaningful measure of our operating performance. The Company believes presenting FFO in this manner allows investors and other interested parties to form a more meaningful assessment of the Company's operating results. A reconciliation of net income to FFO and adjusted FFO are included in the attached table.
Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $82,000 for the first quarter of 2013, compared to net loss for the same period in the prior year of $31,000. The Company's total revenue for the first quarter of 2013 was $32.1 million, a 29% increase over the same period in 2012. This increase is due to tenants opening for business at development properties, the effect of properties acquired in 2012 and 2013, and gains on sales of land parcels. This increased revenue generated an additional $2.2 million of recurring operating income from the properties in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. This increase was offset by higher depreciation expense of $2.6 million and the Company's $3.1 million share of a $5.2 million total gain on the 2012 sale of Gateway Shopping Center.
John A. Kite, Kite Realty Group's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said "2013 is off to a strong start as our team continues to capitalize on opportunities on many fronts including acquisitions, development, and capital markets activities. We had very successful tenant openings at our Delray Marketplace, Phase I of Holly Springs Towne Center, and Four Corner Square development projects during the quarter. Additionally, we continue to be successful in acquiring high quality retail properties in growth markets."
*Operating Portfolio*
As of March 31, 2013, the Company owned interests in 55 retail operating properties totaling approximately 8.5 million square feet. The owned gross leasable area ("GLA") in the Company's retail operating portfolio was 94.5% leased as of March 31, 2013, compared to 93.4% leased as of March 31, 2012.
The Company owns two operating commercial properties totaling 0.4 million square feet. As of March 31, 2013, the owned net rentable area of the commercial operating portfolio was 94.0% leased. The combined leased percentage for the retail and commercial operating portfolios was 94.5% as of March 31, 2013.
On a same property basis, the leased percentage of 49 same store operating properties increased to 94.2% at March 31, 2013 from 93.1% at March 31, 2012. Same property net operating income for these properties increased 5.2% in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year.
The Company believes that NOI is helpful to investors as a measure of its operating performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of its operating performance, such as depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and impairment, if any. The Company believes that same property NOI is helpful to investors as a measure of its operating performance because it includes only the NOI of properties that have been owned for the full period presented, which eliminates disparities in net income due to the redevelopment, acquisition or disposition of properties during the particular period presented, and thus provides a more consistent metric for the comparison of the Company's properties. Same property NOI should not, however, be considered as alternatives to net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as indicators of the Company's financial performance.
*Leasing Activities*
During the first quarter of 2013, the Company executed 31 new and renewal leases for a total of 148,860 square feet. The Company generated positive leasing spreads in the quarter with new leases up 20.6% and renewals up 0.4% for a blended spread of 16% on spaces vacant less than twelve months.
*Development Activities*
As of March 31, 2013, the Company owned interests in six in-process development/redevelopment projects that were 83.4% pre-leased or committed. The total estimated cost of these projects is approximately $244.3 million, of which approximately $193.9 million had been incurred as of March 31, 2013.
At Delray Marketplace, we completed successful tenant openings during February and March including anchor tenants Publix and Frank Theatres CineBowl & Grille, as well as other tenants such as Chico's, Charming Charlie, White House | Black Market, Apricot Lane, Jos. A. Bank and Francesca's. This $95.0 million project is currently 84.4% pre-leased or committed and 65.6% open.
At Phase I of Holly Springs Towne Center, we completed successful tenant openings during March including anchor tenants Dick's Sporting Goods, Michaels, PETCO and a non-owned Target as well as Starbucks, Charming Charlie, Pier 1 Imports, Jos. A. Bank and Children's Place. This $57.0 million project is currently 85.6% pre-leased or committed and 49.9% open.
At Four Corner Square, anchor tenants Grocery Outlet and Do It Best Hardware opened. This project is currently 87.1% pre-leased or committed and 64.4% open.
*Acquisition and Disposition Activities*
In January, the Company acquired Shoppes of Eastwood, a 69,000 square foot Publix-anchored shopping center in Orlando, Florida. The purchase price, exclusive of closing costs, was $11.6 million. The center is 99% leased.
Subsequent to quarter end, the Company acquired Cool Springs Market in Nashville, Tennessee. The center is 95% leased and is anchored by Dick's Sporting Goods, Marshall's, JoAnn Fabrics, Staples, and a non-owned Kroger. The purchase price, exclusive of closing costs, was $37.5 million.
Also subsequent to quarter end, the Company acquired Castleton Crossing in Indianapolis, Indiana. The center is 100% leased and is anchored by TJ Maxx, HomeGoods, Burlington Coat and Shoe Carnival. The purchase price, exclusive of closing costs, was $39.0 million.
During the quarter, the Company sold three land parcels that generated $6.8 million in gross proceeds.
*Capital Markets Activities*
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company completed a public offering of 13.5 million common shares at a price of $6.55 per share, which generated net proceeds to the Company of approximately $84.6 million. The Company initially used $62.2 million of the proceeds to repay borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility and subsequently redeployed the majority of the proceeds to fund the acquisitions of Cool Springs Market, Castleton Crossing, as well as redevelopment costs.
In February, the Company amended the terms of its existing $200 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The maturity date was extended to February 2018 including an extension option and the interest rate was reduced from LIBOR plus 190 to 290 basis points to LIBOR plus 165 to 250 basis points, depending on the Company's leverage. Additionally, the Company increased the expansion feature from $300 million to $400 million, subject to certain conditions.
*Distributions*
On March 18, 2013, the Board of Trustees declared a quarterly common share cash distribution of $0.06 per common share for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 payable to shareholders of record as of April 5, 2013. This distribution was paid on April 12, 2013. The Board of Trustees anticipates declaring a quarterly cash distribution for the quarter ending June 30, 2013 later in the first quarter.
*2013 Earnings Guidance*
The Company has increased its FFO guidance for the year ending December 31, 2013 to be within a range of $0.44 to $0.48 per diluted common share compared to its initial guidance of $0.43 to $0.47 per diluted common share and reaffirmed its net income guidance to be within a range of $0.01 to $(0.03) per diluted common share. The Company has also increased its guidance for 2013 same property net operating income to an increase of 3-4% over the prior year, a change from a 2-3% increase set forth in its initial guidance. Given the nature of the Company's business as a real estate owner and operator, the Company believes that FFO is helpful to investors when measuring operating performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, such as gains or losses from sales, impairments of operating properties and depreciation and amortization, which can make analyses of operating performance more difficult.
Following is a reconciliation of the range of 2013 estimated diluted net loss per share to estimated diluted FFO per share:
Guidance Range for 2013 Low High
Net (loss) income per diluted common share $(0.03) $ 0.01
Depreciation and amortization 0.47 0.47
FFO per diluted common share $ 0.44 $ 0.48

Also subsequent to quarter end, the Company acquired Castleton Crossing in Indianapolis, Indiana. The center is 100% leased and is anchored by TJ Maxx, HomeGoods, Burlington Coat and Shoe Carnival. The purchase price, exclusive of closing costs, was $39.0 million.
During the quarter, the Company sold three land parcels that generated $6.8 million in gross proceeds.
*Capital Markets Activities*
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company completed a public offering of 13.5 million common shares at a price of $6.55 per share, which generated net proceeds to the Company of approximately $84.6 million. The Company initially used $62.2 million of the proceeds to repay borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility and subsequently redeployed the majority of the proceeds to fund the acquisitions of Cool Springs Market, Castleton Crossing, as well as redevelopment costs.
In February, the Company amended the terms of its existing $200 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The maturity date was extended to February 2018 including an extension option and the interest rate was reduced from LIBOR plus 190 to 290 basis points to LIBOR plus 165 to 250 basis points, depending on the Company's leverage. Additionally, the Company increased the expansion feature from $300 million to $400 million, subject to certain conditions.
*Distributions*
On March 18, 2013, the Board of Trustees declared a quarterly common share cash distribution of $0.06 per common share for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 payable to shareholders of record as of April 5, 2013. This distribution was paid on April 12, 2013. The Board of Trustees anticipates declaring a quarterly cash distribution for the quarter ending June 30, 2013 later in the first quarter.
*2013 Earnings Guidance*
The Company has increased its FFO guidance for the year ending December 31, 2013 to be within a range of $0.44 to $0.48 per diluted common share compared to its initial guidance of $0.43 to $0.47 per diluted common share and reaffirmed its net income guidance to be within a range of $0.01 to $(0.03) per diluted common share. The Company has also increased its guidance for 2013 same property net operating income to an increase of 3-4% over the prior year, a change from a 2-3% increase set forth in its initial guidance. Given the nature of the Company's business as a real estate owner and operator, the Company believes that FFO is helpful to investors when measuring operating performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, such as gains or losses from sales, impairments of operating properties and depreciation and amortization, which can make analyses of operating performance more difficult.
Following is a reconciliation of the range of 2013 estimated diluted net loss per share to estimated diluted FFO per share:
Guidance Range for 2013 Low High
Net (loss) income per diluted common share $(0.03) $ 0.01
Depreciation and amortization 0.47 0.47
FFO per diluted common share $ 0.44 $ 0.48
