Gramercy Capital Corp. Reports Second Quarter 2010 Financial Results

NEW YORK--Gramercy Capital Corp. :

SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

  • For the quarter, generated funds from operations (“FFOâ€???) of $33.7 million, an increase of $202.6 million from FFO of negative $168.9 million generated in the same quarter of the previous year. On a fully diluted per common share basis, FFO was $0.67 for the second quarter of 2010 as compared to FFO of negative $3.39 in the same quarter of the previous year. The increase in FFO for the quarter was primarily attributable to a decline of approximately $193.9 million in impairments and loan loss reserves, as compared to the same quarter of the previous year.
  • For the quarter, net income to common stockholders was $6.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted common share, as compared to the net loss of $198.1 million, or negative $3.98 per diluted common share, for the same quarter of the previous year.
  • Maintained approximately $157.5 million of liquidity at quarter end, as compared to approximately $241.4 million of liquidity reported in the prior quarter. Liquidity at June 30, 2010 included approximately $133.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $23.8 million of restricted cash in two of the Company’s three CDOs.
  • In June 2010, redeemed the remaining $52.5 million of junior subordinated notes by transferring an equivalent par value amount of various classes of bonds issued by the Company’s CDOs previously purchased by the Company in the open market, and cash equivalents of $5.0 million. This redemption eliminated the Company’s junior subordinated notes from its consolidated financial statements, which had an original balance of $150.0 million.
  • Gramercy Realty:
    • During the quarter, closed on the sale of three properties with an aggregate sales price of approximately $1.9 million. Approximately $0.9 million of mezzanine debt related to these properties was repaid.
    • During the quarter, commenced 24 new leases totaling approximately 91,245 square feet, and renewed 38 leases totaling approximately 93,516 square feet. Quarter-end occupancy was 85.2%, a slight decline from the 85.3% occupancy reported in the prior quarter.
  • Gramercy Finance:
    • During the quarter, modified ten debt investments with an aggregate principal balance of $345.0 million resulting in principal repayments of approximately $3.5 million and additional collateral and incremental funded reserves totaling approximately $11.6 million.
    • During the quarter, received $13.4 million of loan repayments and reduced unfunded commitments associated with existing loans by $5.3 million to approximately $15.1 million from approximately $20.4 million at March 31, 2010.
    • Recorded a net provision for loan losses of approximately $13.2 million relating to seven separate loans with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $186.0 million, based on the Company’s quarterly review of its loan portfolio. By comparison, the Company’s provision for loan losses was approximately $41.2 million for the preceding quarter and approximately $167.4 million for the same quarter of the prior year. In addition, recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $2.0 million related to a debt investment held for sale. The Company’s reserve for loan losses at June 30, 2010 was $391.4 million, or approximately 24.1% of the unpaid principal balance, in connection with 24 separate loans with an aggregate carrying value of $619.3 million.
    • Originated within CDO 2005-1 a new $63.0 million first mortgage investment with a loan-to-value ratio of 55%, secured by a stabilized institutional-grade retail property owned by an institutional sponsor.

SUMMARY

Gramercy Capital Corp. today reported funds from operations (“FFO�??) of $33.7 million, or $0.67 per diluted common share, and net income available to common stockholders of $6.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted common share for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. The Company generated total revenues of $157.1 million during the second quarter, a decrease of $1.6 million from $158.7 million generated during the same quarter of the previous year. At June 30, 2010, the Company owned 25.6 million rentable square feet of commercial real estate in 36 states and the District of Columbia with an aggregate book value of approximately $3.7 billion, in addition to approximately $1.3 billion of loan investments, $1.0 billion of commercial mortgage–backed real estate securities, or CMBS, and $672 million in other assets. As of June 30, 2010, approximately 55.4% of the Company’s assets were comprised of commercial property, 19.2% of debt investments, 15.3% of CMBS and 10.1% of other assets.

LIQUIDITY AND FUNDING

The Company remains focused on reducing leverage, extending or restructuring Gramercy Realty’s $240.5 million mortgage loan or the Goldman mortgage loan, and $552.1 million of senior and junior mezzanine loans, or the Goldman mezzanine loans, actively managing portfolio credit, generating liquidity from existing assets and renewing expiring leases.

In June 2010, the Company redeemed the remaining $52.5 million of junior subordinated notes by transferring an equivalent par value amount of various classes of bonds issued by the Company’s CDOs which were previously purchased by the Company in the open market and cash equivalents of $5.0 million. This redemption eliminates the Company’s junior subordinated notes from its consolidated financial statements, which had an original balance of $150.0 million. Although no gain or loss is recorded for the quarter, this redemption, combined with the exchange completed in October 2009, reduces the Company’s GAAP interest expense by approximately $10.0 million annually.

In March 2010, the Company entered into amendments to its Goldman mortgage loan and Goldman mezzanine loans, to extend the maturity date to March 11, 2011 and to modify certain other loan terms. The Goldman mortgage loan is collateralized by approximately 195 properties held by Gramercy Realty and the Goldman mezzanine loans are collateralized by the equity interest in substantially all of the entities comprising Gramercy Realty, including its cash and cash equivalents. The Company does not expect that it will be able to refinance the entire amount of indebtedness under the Goldman mortgage loan and the Goldman mezzanine loans prior to their final maturity and it is unlikely to have sufficient capital to satisfy any shortfall. Failure to satisfy any shortfall will result in a default and could result in the foreclosure of the underlying Gramercy Realty properties and/or the Company’s equity interests in the entities that comprise substantially all of Gramercy Realty. Such default would materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. A loss of the Gramercy Realty portfolio in such circumstances would trigger a substantial book loss and would likely result in the Company having negative book value. The Company continues to negotiate with its lenders to further extend or modify the Goldman mortgage loan and the Goldman mezzanine loans and the Company has delivered to the lenders, as required by the extension term, a comprehensive long-term business plan and restructuring proposal.

During the second quarter of 2010, Gramercy Realty sold three properties for an aggregate gross sales price of approximately $1.9 million. Approximately $0.9 million of mezzanine debt related to these properties was repaid.

Loan prepayments, partial repayments, and scheduled amortization payments in Gramercy Finance’s portfolio aggregated $13.4 million during the second quarter of 2010. Unfunded commitments associated with existing loans declined to $15.1 million at June 30, 2010 from approximately $20.4 million at March 31, 2010.

Liquidity at June 30, 2010 was approximately $157.5 million, as compared to approximately $241.4 million of liquidity for the prior quarter. The Company’s liquidity at June 30, 2010 included approximately $133.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $23.8 million of restricted cash in two of its three CDOs. The period during which the Company is permitted to reinvest principal payments on the underlying assets into qualifying replacement collateral for the Company’s 2005 CDO expired in July 2010, and accordingly this restricted cash was removed from the Company’s liquidity measure at June 30, 2010. At the end of the reinvestment period, approximately $10.3 million of cash in the Company’s 2005 CDO was applied to repay principal on the outstanding bonds. Cash and cash equivalents increased approximately $6.3 million as of June 30, 2010 as compared to $127.4 million at the end of the first quarter of 2010, primarily due an increase in prepaid rental collections by Gramercy Realty, partially offset by the $5.0 million paid in connection with the redemption of the junior subordinated notes. The decrease in restricted cash in the liquidity measure is due to the removal from liquidity of the restricted cash in the Company’s 2005 CDO and from the origination of a new $63.0 million first mortgage loan within the Company’s 2005 CDO. The following chart summarizes the liquidity in Gramercy Realty and Corporate/Gramercy Finance as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 (dollars in thousands):

  June 30, 2010 December 31, 2009   Change

Total liquidity $ 157,549 $ 200,792 $ (43,243 )
    (1)   Pursuant to the terms of extension of the Goldman mortgage loan and Goldman mezzanine loans, transfers from Gramercy Realty to Corporate/Gramercy Finance are limited to: (a) the reimbursement of direct costs related to executing the extension and (b) reimbursement of not more than $2,500 of corporate overhead per quarter.
(2) Includes $18,712 of rental income paid in advance.

The Company's CDOs contain minimum interest coverage and asset overcollateralization covenants that must be satisfied for the Company to receive cash flow on certain of the interests in its CDOs retained by the Company and to receive the subordinate collateral management fee earned. During periods when these covenants are not satisfied for a particular CDO, cash flows from that CDO that would otherwise be paid to the Company as a subordinate bondholder, holder of the preferred shares and in respect of the subordinate collateral management fee would be diverted from the Company to repay principal and interest on the senior-most outstanding CDO bonds. As of July 2010, the most recent distribution dates for the Company’s 2005 and 2006 CDOs, the 2006 CDO was in compliance with the interest coverage and asset overcollateralization covenants but the overcollaterization compliance margin remains very thin. The Company’s 2005 CDO failed its overcollaterization test at the July 2010 and April 2010 distribution date. The Company’s 2007 CDO failed its overcollaterization test at each of the February 2010 and May 2010 distribution dates.

The following chart summarizes the Company’s CDO compliance tests as of the most recent distribution date.

Cash Flow Triggers     CDO 2005-1   CDO 2006-1   CDO 2007-1

    (1)   The overcollateralization ratio divides the total principal balance of all collateral in the CDO by the total bonds outstanding for the classes senior to those retained by the Company. To the extent an asset is considered a defaulted security, the asset’s principal balance is multiplied by the asset’s recovery rate which is determined by the rating agencies.
(2) The interest coverage ratio divides interest income by interest expense for the classes senior to those retained by the Company.

GRAMERCY REALTY

Gramercy Realty’s portfolio consists of office buildings and bank branches serving primarily investment-grade rated financial institutions.

By comparison, the Company’s provision for loan loss was approximately $41.2 million for the preceding quarter and approximately $167.4 million for the same quarter of the prior year.

At June 30, 2010, Gramercy Finance had three non-performing loans with a carrying value of $0, net of associated valuation allowances of approximately $181.9 million, consistent with the prior quarter. At June 30, 2010, four loans with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $126.1 million, net of associated valuation allowances of approximately $43.1 million, were classified as sub-performing, as compared to four loans with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $94.8 million, net of associated valuation allowances of $45.9 million at March 31, 2010.

OPERATING RESULTS

For the second quarter 2010, Gramercy Realty’s rental revenues totaled approximately $76.4 million, and related operating expenses aggregated approximately $44.2 million as compared to prior quarter’s rental revenues of approximately $77.7 million and related operating expenses of approximately $46.0 million, inclusive of reclassification adjustments of discontinued operations.

Gramercy Finance’s debt investments generated investment income of approximately $43.8 million for the second quarter of 2010, as compared to approximately $44.3 million for the prior quarter.

Interest expense was approximately $49.4 million for the second quarter, as compared to $51.2 million for the prior quarter. Interest expense includes costs related to $2.7 billion of long-term notes issued by the Company’s three CDOs but not held by the Company and $2.3 billion of mortgage and mezzanine notes payable.

For the second quarter of 2010, management, general and administrative expense was approximately $10.0 million, an increase of $2.6 million from the $7.4 million incurred in the same quarter of the prior year. The increase in management, general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to the costs incurred in connection with the redemption of the junior subordinated notes as well as additional legal fees related to the ten debt investments modified during the quarter.

DIVIDENDS

Beginning with the third quarter of 2008, the Company’s board of directors elected to not pay a dividend on the common stock. Beginning with the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company’s board of directors also elected to not pay the Series A preferred stock dividend of $0.50781 per share. The preferred stock dividend has been accrued through June 30, 2010. The Company may not pay any dividends on its common stock until all accrued dividends and the dividend for the then current quarter on the Series A preferred stock are paid in full. The Company expects that it will continue to elect to retain capital for liquidity purposes until the requirement to make a cash distribution to satisfy its REIT requirements arise.
