COPT Reports Second Quarter 2014 Results

COLUMBIA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Corporate Office Properties Trust (“COPT” or the “Company”) (NYSE: OFC) announced financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014.

“Second quarter results were at the high end of our guidance range, reflecting better expense management at the property level,” stated Roger A. Waesche, Jr., COPT’s President & Chief Executive Officer. “Based on leasing already executed, and the leasing momentum we are experiencing across the majority of our portfolio, we are highly confident that FFO per share will now trend higher, beginning with this third quarter,” he added.

Results:

Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) was $0.02 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $(0.16) in the second quarter of 2013. Per NAREIT’s definition, diluted funds from operations per share (“FFOPS”) for the second quarter of 2014 was $0.37 versus $0.25 reported in the second quarter of 2013. FFOPS, as adjusted for comparability, was $0.44 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $0.52 reported for the second quarter of 2013. Adjustments for comparability could encompass items such as acquisition costs, impairment losses and gains on non-operating properties (net of related tax adjustments), losses (gains) on early extinguishment of debt and write-offs of original issuance costs for redeemed preferred stock. Please refer to the reconciliation tables that appear later in this press release.

This press release may contain “forward-looking” statements, as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that are based on the Company’s current expectations, estimates and projections about future events and financial trends affecting the Company. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “plan” or other comparable terminology.

  • adverse changes in the real estate markets including, among other things, increased competition with other companies;

  • the Company’s ability to borrow on favorable terms;
  • risks of real estate acquisition and development activities, including, among other things, risks that development projects may not be completed on schedule, that tenants may not take occupancy or pay rent or that development or operating costs may be greater than anticipated;
  • risks of investing through joint venture structures, including risks that the Company’s joint venture partners may not fulfill their financial obligations as investors or may take actions that are inconsistent with the Company’s objectives;
  • changes in the Company’s plans for properties or views of market economic conditions or failure to obtain development rights, either of which could result in recognition of significant impairment losses;
  • the Company’s ability to satisfy and operate effectively under Federal income tax rules relating to real estate investment trusts and partnerships;
  • the Company's ability to achieve projected results;
  • the dilutive effects of issuing additional common shares; and
