Balance Sheet - Solid Platform for Growth

Locking in long-term low-rate debt

During the fourth quarter, Acadia further reduced its interest rate exposure by locking in interest rates and extending the maturity for ten years on $64.0 million of joint venture debt, of which $31.4 million represents the Company's pro-rata share. In addition, the Company reduced its outstanding floating rate debt by $47.6 million. As a result, 94% of the Company's total mortgage debt, inclusive of inclusive of

New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Program Launched

In the third quarter, the Company announced the launching of its New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Program (through Fund II) with PA Associates with the acquisition of 400 East Fordham Road Fordham Road is a major street in The Bronx borough of New York City. It runs east-west from the Harlem River to Bronx Park. At its western extreme, it goes through the University Heights neighborhood.  in The Bronx, NY.

RCP Venture Formed - Mervyn's acquisition closed

Acadia also formed the Retailer Controlled Property Venture ("RCP Venture") during 2004 with Klaff Realty, L.P. ("Klaff") and Klaff's long-time partner Lubert-Adler Management, Inc. for the purpose of making investments in surplus or underutilized properties owned or controlled by retailers.

During the third quarter, Acadia completed its first investment through the RCP Venture. $23.2 million was invested by Funds I and II (of which approximately $5.0 million was the Company's share) into an affiliate of Lubert-Adler/Klaff, which is part of the investment consortium, along with Sun Capital Partners, Inc. and Cerberus Capital Management, L.P., that acquired the 257 store Mervyn's department store chain from the Target Corporation for $1.2 billion.

Outlook - Earnings Guidance for 2005

On a fully diluted basis, the Company currently forecasts its 2005 FFO will range from $1.01 to $1.09 per share. 2005 earnings per share is expected to range from $0.46 to $0.54. While other factors may impact earnings, Acadia's 2005 earnings guidance is based on the following assumptions:

- Same Property Occupancy and NOI

The Company's same property portfolio (including joint venture properties on a pro-rata basis) is expected to experience stable growth of approximately 3% to 4% for 2005 with expected portfolio occupancy increasing approximately 1% over 2004. This may be offset by the impact of potential tenant credit issues for which the Company is forecasting reserves ranging from $0.01 to $0.03.

- Acquisitions

The Company expects to generate $0.02 to $0.06 of FFO from external growth initiatives. The low end of this guidance should be achieved solely from completed transactions and identified investments expected to close during the first quarter of 2005.

- Fee Income and General and Administrative Expense

Fee income is projected to increase primarily as a result of a full year of asset management fees from Fund II together with other fees. The increase in fees is expected to be offset by a related increase in general and administrative expenses, as well as additional Sarbanes- Oxley related costs. These activities are expected to provide $0.00 to $0.02 of FFO growth.

The following is a reconciliation of the calculation of FFO per diluted share and earnings per diluted share:

Management Comments

Commenting on the results for the quarter and year, Kenneth Bernstein, President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , stated, "We are quite pleased with our fourth quarter and full year performance. In 2004, our team was successful in driving the three key components of our business plan. First, we continued to enhance the value of our core portfolio, driving our occupancy to a five-year high while also improving the quality of our cash flows through redevelopment and selective disposition. Second, we further enhanced the strength and flexibility of our balance sheet. At year end our debt to total market cap was 30% and our fixed-charge coverage ratio Fixed-Charge Coverage Ratio

A ratio that indicates a firm's ability to satisfy fixed financing expenses, such as interest and leases. It is calculated as the following:
 was 3.2 times. Our dividend payout ratio for the year was healthy at 66% even after raising our dividend a cumulative 44% over three years. Third, we continued to expand our highly opportunistic but disciplined acquisition program with the formation of Fund II and the launching of the RCP Venture and the New York Urban/Infill Redevelopment Program. These initiatives should provide a highly accretive pipeline, which should help drive our growth over the next several years. Looking ahead, the fundamentals of our business plan remain sound and compelling. The potential for internal growth through redevelopments coupled with a strong balance sheet and an exciting external growth platform should enable us to continue to create strong shareholder value going forward."

The decrease in the proportional equity position of a share of stock that will occur eventually if additional authorized shares are actually issued.

(2) The Company considers funds from operations Funds From Operations (FFO)

It is helpful as it excludes various items included in net income that are not indicative of the operating performance, such as gains (losses) from sales of depreciated Depreciated may refer to:
  • Depreciation, in finance, a reference to the fact that assets with finite lives lose value over time
  • Depreciated is often confused or used as a stand-in for "deprecated"; see deprecation for the use of depreciation in computer software
 property and depreciation and amortization. However, the Company's method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles The standard accounting rules, regulations, and procedures used by companies in maintaining their financial records.

It should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating the Company's performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Consistent with the NAREIT definition, the Company defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance Accordance is Bible Study Software for Macintosh developed by OakTree Software, Inc.[]

 with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

(3) In addition to the weighted average Common Shares outstanding, diluted FFO also assumes full conversion of a weighted average 392 and 1,140 OP Units into Common Shares for the quarters ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively and 598 and 1,868 OP Units into Common Shares for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Diluted FFO also includes the assumed conversion of Preferred OP Units into 523 and 295 Common Shares for the quarters ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively and 500 and 295 Common Shares for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
