DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 8, 2019-- CIM Commercial Trust Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCT and TASE: CMCT-L) ("we", "our", “CMCT”, “CIM Commercial”, or the "Company"), a real estate investment trust ("REIT") that primarily acquires, owns, and operates Class A and creative office assets in vibrant and improving metropolitan communities throughout the United States, today reported operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

On August 8, 2019, we announced a 1-for-3 reverse stock split on our common stock, to be effective on September 3, 2019. None of the share or per share amounts in this release reflect the effect of such reverse stock split.

Second Quarter 2019 Highlights

Annualized rent per occupied square foot¹ on a same-store² basis increased 8.1% to $48.94 as of June 30, 2019 compared to $45.27 as of June 30, 2018; annualized rent per occupied square foot¹ across all properties was $48.94 as of June 30, 2019.

During the second quarter of 2019, we executed 24,115 square feet of leases with terms longer than 12 months, of which 17,821 square feet were recurring leases executed at our same-store² office portfolio, representing same-store² cash rent growth per square foot of 6.0%.
Net income attributable to common stockholders was $48,260,000, or $1.07 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2019 compared to net loss attributable to common stockholders of $(1,876,000), or $(0.04) per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2018.
Same-store² office segment net operating income³ ("NOI") decreased 5.0%, while same-store² office cash NOI³ decreased 5.5%, for the second quarter of 2019 as compared to the corresponding period in 2018.
Funds from operations (“FFO”) attributable to common stockholders⁴ was $3,024,000, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2019, inclusive of $4,911,000, or $0.11 per diluted share, in loss on early extinguishment of debt, compared to $11,449,000, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2018.

Program to Unlock Embedded Value in Our Portfolio and Improve Trading Liquidity of Our Common Stock

As described in a separate release, our Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $14.00 per share of common stock primarily funded by the net proceeds (after the repayment of debt) received from the sale of 10 properties during 2019 and borrowings on our revolving credit facility.

We have also been informed that approximately 31.9 million of the shares of our common stock held by our principal stockholder (the "Fund”), representing approximately 72.8% of the outstanding shares of our common stock, will be distributed to approximately 19 members of the Fund by the end of August 2019. Such distribution will increase the public float of our common stock, which we believe will in turn increase the trading liquidity of our common stock and improve our access to capital, benefiting both preferred and common stockholders. Following such distribution, the Fund is expected to own approximately 16.9% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

No further property sales will be made under the program to unlock embedded value in our portfolio and improve the trading liquidity of our common stock. Our remaining portfolio, after the sale of two office properties and one development site, all in Washington, D.C., in July 2019, consists of approximately 1.3 million rentable square feet of office space in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Oakland, California, and Austin, Texas and a 503-room hotel and ancillary parking garage in Sacramento, California. Three properties in Oakland and Sacramento, California, and Austin, Texas include additional development opportunities.

Guidance

We are initiating guidance for 2019 NOI and net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders as follows:

2019 Outlook

	Low			High
	(Unaudited, estimated and in millions)
Cash NOI from retained properties and lending activities	$	47.1		$	48.1
Non-cash adjustments from retained properties and lending activities		4.1			4.1
Segment NOI from retained properties and lending activities		51.2			52.2
Segment NOI from sold properties		16.0			16.0
Total Segment NOI		67.2			68.2
Asset management and other fees to related parties and G&A		(21.0	)		(20.5	)
Depreciation and amortization, interest expense, non-segment interest and other income, provision for income taxes, redeemable preferred stock dividends declared or accumulated, and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests		(52.2	)		(52.2	)
Gain on sale of real estate, impairment of real estate, loss on early extinguishment of debt, and transaction costs		333.6			333.6
Net income attributable to common stockholders	$	327.6		$	329.1

Key 2019 Assumptions

No acquisitions or additional dispositions after the sale of two office properties and one development site, all in Washington, D.C., on July 30, 2019, occur during the remainder of 2019.
No future transaction costs, offerings or share repurchases have been assumed, except for continued monthly issuances of Series A preferred units.

Financial Highlights

As of June 30, 2019, our real estate portfolio consisted of 14 assets, all of which are fee-simple properties. The portfolio included 12 office properties (including two development sites, one of which is being used as a parking lot), totaling approximately 1.9 million rentable square feet, and one hotel, with an ancillary parking garage, which has 503 rooms. Two of such properties and one development site in Washington, D.C. were sold in July 2019. We also own and operate a lending business.

Second Quarter 2019

Net income attributable to common stockholders was $48,260,000, or $1.07 per diluted share of common stock, for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to net loss attributable to common stockholders of $(1,876,000), or $(0.04) per diluted share of common stock, for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase is primarily attributable to the gain on sale of real estate of $55,221,000, a decrease of $6,140,000 in depreciation and amortization, a decrease of $4,497,000 in interest expense not allocated to our operating segments, a decrease of $1,767,000 in asset management and other fees to related parties not allocated to our operating segments, an increase of $1,499,000 in interest and other income not allocated to our operating segments, and a decrease of $406,000 in general and administrative expense not allocated to our operating segments, partially offset by a decrease of $11,340,000 in net operating income⁵ of our operating segments, a $4,911,000 loss on early extinguishment of debt, a $2,800,000 impairment of real estate, and an increase of $488,000 in redeemable preferred stock dividends declared or accumulated.

FFO attributable to common stockholders⁶ was $3,024,000, or $0.07 per diluted share of common stock, for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $11,449,000, or $0.26 per diluted share of common stock, for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in FFO attributable to common stockholders⁶ is primarily attributable to a decrease of $11,340,000 in the NOI⁵ of our operating segments, a $4,911,000 loss on early extinguishment of debt, and an increase of $488,000 in redeemable preferred stock dividends declared or accumulated, partially offset by a decrease of $4,497,000 in interest expense not allocated to our operating segments, a decrease of $1,767,000 in asset management and other fees to related parties not allocated to our operating segments, an increase of $1,499,000 in interest and other income not allocated to our operating segments, and a decrease of $406,000 in general and administrative expense not allocated to our operating segments.

Year to Date 2019

Net income attributable to common stockholders was $335,891,000, or $7.36 per diluted share of common stock, for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to net loss attributable to common stockholders of $(4,902,000), or $(0.11) per diluted share of common stock, for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

FFO attributable to common stockholders⁶ was $(11,096,000), or $(0.25) per diluted share of common stock, for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $21,571,000, or $0.49 per diluted share of common stock, for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Segment Information

Our reportable segments during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 consisted of two types of commercial real estate properties, namely, office and hotel, as well as a segment for our lending business. Net income attributable to common stockholders was $48,260,000, or $1.07 per diluted share of common stock, for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to net loss attributable to common stockholders of $(1,876,000), or $(0.04) per diluted share of common stock, for the three months ended June 30, 2018, which represents an increase of $50,136,000, or $1.11 per diluted share of common stock. Total segment NOI⁷ was $18,012,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $29,352,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Office

Same-Store⁸

Same-store⁸ office segment NOI⁷ decreased 5.0% on a GAAP basis and decreased 5.5% on a cash basis for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in same-store⁸ office segment NOI⁷ is primarily due to lower revenues at an office property in Los Angeles, California that is being repositioned into vibrant, collaborative office space after the expiration in April 2019 of a lease agreement for 100% of such property, which space has been partially occupied by a related party since May 2019. This was partially offset by increases in rental revenue at certain of our properties due to increases in rental rates as a result of leasing activity.

At June 30, 2019, the Company’s same-store⁸ office portfolio was 88.1% occupied, a decrease of 460 basis points year-over-year on a same-store⁸ basis, and 88.2% leased, a decrease of 470 basis points year-over-year on a same-store⁸ basis. The annualized rent per occupied square foot⁹ on a same-store⁸ basis was $48.94 at June 30, 2019 compared to $45.27 at June 30, 2018. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company executed 17,821 square feet of recurring leases at our same-store⁸ office portfolio, representing same-store⁸ cash rent growth per square foot of 6.0%.

⁸		Please see our definition of "same-store properties" on page 12.

⁹		Annualized rent per occupied square foot represents gross monthly base rent under leases commenced as of the specified periods, multiplied by twelve. This amount reflects total cash rent before abatements. Where applicable, annualized rent has been grossed up by adding annualized expense reimbursements to base rent. Annualized rent for certain office properties includes rent attributable to retail.

Total

Office segment NOI¹⁰ decreased to $12,935,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, from $23,863,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease is primarily attributable to the sale of three office properties and a parking garage in Oakland, California, the sale of an office property in Washington, D.C., and the sale of an office property in San Francisco, California, all of which were consummated in March 2019, the sale of an office property in Oakland, California, which was consummated in May 2019, and lower revenues at an office property in Los Angeles, California that is being repositioned into vibrant, collaborative office space after the expiration in April 2019 of a lease agreement for 100% of such property, which space has been partially occupied by a related party since May 2019, partially offset by increases in rental revenue at certain of our properties due to increases in rental rates as a result of leasing activity.

Hotel

Hotel segment NOI¹⁰ was $3,522,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $4,110,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease is primarily due to lower food and beverage revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Lending

Our lending segment primarily consists of our SBA 7(a) lending platform, which is a national lender that primarily originates loans to small businesses in the hospitality industry. Lending segment NOI¹⁰ was $1,555,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $1,379,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to higher revenue as a result of the recognition of accretion of discounts related to increased prepayments on our loans and increases in the prime rate, partially offset by an increase in interest expense as a result of the issuance of the SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes in May 2018.

Debt and Equity

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we issued 455,464 Series A preferred units, with each Series A preferred unit consisting of one share of Series A preferred stock and one warrant to purchase 0.25 shares of our common stock, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $10,415,000. Net proceeds represent gross proceeds offset by costs specifically identifiable to the offering of the Series A preferred units, such as commissions, dealer manager fees, and other offering fees and expenses.

On May 16, 2019, one mortgage loan with an outstanding principal balance of $39,500,000 at such time, was legally defeased in connection with the sale of the related property in Oakland, California.

Dispositions

On May 16, 2019, we sold a 100% fee-simple interest in one office property in San Francisco, California to an unrelated third-party and recognized a gain of $55,221,000.

Dividends

On June 4, 2019, we declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per share of our common stock, which was paid on June 27, 2019 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 14, 2019.

Further, we declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.34375 per share of our Series A preferred stock, or portion thereof for issuances during the period from April 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019, which was paid on July 15, 2019 to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 5, 2019.

We believe that FFO is a widely recognized and appropriate measure of the performance of a REIT and that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO represents net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), which reflects the deduction of redeemable preferred stock dividends accumulated, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate, impairment of real estate, and real estate depreciation and amortization. We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (the "NAREIT").

Like any metric, FFO should not be used as the only measure of our performance because it excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our real estate properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our operating results. Other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the NAREIT; accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to the FFOs of other REITs. Therefore, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income (loss) as a measure of our performance and should not be used as a supplement to or substitute measure for cash flows from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders to FFO attributable to common stockholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

____________________________

¹¹		In connection with the sale of certain properties during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized $4,911,000 and $29,982,000, respectively, or $0.11 and $0.68 per diluted share of common stock, respectively, in loss on early extinguishment of debt primarily related to the legal defeasance and prepayment of mortgage loans collateralized by such properties. Such loss on early extinguishment of debt is not included in the adjustment for the gain on sale of depreciable assets presented in the table above.

¹²		For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the effect of certain shares of redeemable preferred stock were excluded from the computation of diluted FFO attributable to common stockholders and the diluted weighted average shares and common stock equivalents outstanding as such inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Earnings Per Share
(Unaudited and in thousands, except per share amounts)

Earnings per share ("EPS") for the year-to-date period may differ from the sum of quarterly EPS amounts due to the required method for computing EPS for the respective periods. In addition, EPS is calculated independently for each component and may not be additive due to rounding.

The following table reconciles the numerator and denominator used in computing our basic and diluted per-share amounts for net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

Reconciliation of Net Operating Income
(Unaudited and in thousands)

We internally evaluate the operating performance and financial results of our real estate segments based on segment NOI, which is defined as rental and other property income and expense reimbursements less property related expenses and excludes non-property income and expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, corporate related general and administrative expenses, gain (loss) on sale of real estate, gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, impairment of real estate, transaction costs, and provision for income taxes. For our lending segment, we define segment NOI as interest income net of interest expense and general overhead expenses. We also evaluate the operating performance and financial results of our operating segments using cash basis NOI, or "cash NOI". We define cash NOI as segment NOI adjusted to exclude the effect of the straight lining of rents, acquired above/below market lease amortization and other adjustments required by GAAP.

Segment NOI and cash NOI are not measures of operating results or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to income from continuing operations, or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity, or as an indication of our performance or of our ability to pay dividends. Companies may not calculate segment NOI or cash NOI in the same manner. We consider segment NOI and cash NOI to be useful performance measures to investors and management because, when compared across periods, they reflect the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating our properties and the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from income from continuing operations. Additionally, we believe that cash NOI is helpful to investors because it eliminates straight line rent and other non-cash adjustments to revenue and expenses.

To facilitate a comparison of our segments and portfolio between reporting periods, we calculate comparable amounts for a subset of our segments and portfolio referred to as our “same-store properties.” Our same-store properties are ones which we have owned and operated in a consistent manner and reported in our consolidated results during the entire span of the periods being reported. We excluded from our same-store property set this quarter any properties (i) acquired on or after April 1, 2018; (ii) sold or otherwise removed from our consolidated financial statements on or before June 30, 2019; or (iii) that underwent a major repositioning project we believed significantly affected its results at any point during the period commencing on April 1, 2018 and ending on June 30, 2019.
