Retail Value Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter 2021 Operating Results

BEACHWOOD, OHIO, February 25, 2022 - Retail Value Inc. (NYSE: RVI) today announced operating results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2021.

Financial Results for the Quarter

  • Fourth quarter 2021 net income attributable to common shareholders was $27.7 million, or $1.31 per diluted share, as compared to net loss of $9.5 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, in the year-ago period. The period-over-period increase in net income is primarily attributable to higher gain on disposition of real estate, lower impairment charges and lower interest expense due to the debt repayment partly offset by the impact of asset sales.
  • Fourth quarter 2021 operating funds from operations attributable to common shareholders ("Operating FFO" or "OFFO") was a loss of $0.1 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, compared to income of $14.8 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, in the year-ago period. The period-over-period decrease in OFFO is primarily attributable to the impact of asset sales and lower interest expense. Fourth quarter results included $0.5 million of net revenue related to prior periods primarily from cash basis tenants.

Financial Results for the Year

  • Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $17.7 million, or $0.84 per diluted share which compares to net loss of $93.6 million, or $4.72 per diluted share for the full year 2020.
  • Generated Operating FFO of $52.1 million, or $2.48 per diluted share for the full year of 2021, which compares to $61.8 million, or $3.12 per diluted share for the full year 2020.

Non-GAAP Measures

Funds from Operations ("FFO") is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used as a standard in the real estate industry and is a widely accepted measure of real estate investment trust ("REIT") performance. Management believes that both FFO and Operating FFO provide additional indicators of the financial performance of a REIT. The Company also believes that FFO and Operating FFO more appropriately measure the core operations of the Company and provide benchmarks to its peer group.

FFO is generally defined and calculated by the Company as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP")) adjusted to exclude (i) gains and losses from disposition of real estate property and related investments, which are presented net of taxes, if any, (ii) impairment charges on real estate property and related investments and (iii) certain non-cash items. These non-cash items principally include real property depreciation and amortization of intangibles. The Company's calculation of FFO is consistent with the definition of FFO provided by NAREIT. The Company calculates Operating FFO by excluding certain non-operating charges and income. Operating FFO is useful to investors as the Company removes non-comparable charges and income to analyze the results of its operations and assess performance of the core operating real estate portfolio. Other real estate companies may calculate FFO and Operating FFO in a different manner.

The Company also uses net operating income ("NOI"), a non-GAAP financial measure, as a supplemental performance measure. NOI is calculated as property revenues less property-related expenses. The Company believes NOI provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level and, when compared across periods, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition and disposition activity on an unleveraged basis.

FFO, Operating FFO and NOI do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as alternatives to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as indicators of the Company's operating performance or as alternatives to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in this release herein.
