SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / March 28, 2023 / Presidio Property Trust, Inc. (NASDAQ:SQFT)(NASDAQ:SQFTP) (the "Company"), an internally managed, diversified real estate investment trust ("REIT"), today reported earnings for its year ended December 31, 2022.
"We are pleased to report on our 2022 earnings and company activity," said Jack Heilbron, Chief Executive Officer of Presidio. "2022 was a challenging year in the real estate markets, but our diversified nature helped us take advantage of homebuilder interest in our model home division. We also saw solid leasing activity on the commercial property side. Additionally, in 2022, we reached an agreement on the business combination of Murphy Canyon Acquisition Corp. with Conduit Pharmaceuticals, which we anticipate will result in additional Presidio shareholder value."
"In the fourth quarter of 2022, 11 office, retail, and industrial leases were signed totaling nearly 66,000 square feet. These leases are comprised of 4 new leases and 7 existing tenant renewals," noted Gary Katz, the Company's Chief Investment Officer. "During 2022, we signed 53 leases for nearly 224,000 square feet of space, split between 47% new leases and 53% renewals."
Quarter Ended December 31, 2022, Financial Results
Net loss attributable to the Company's common stockholders for the three months ended December 31, 2022, was approximately $(780,067), or $(0.07) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net income of approximately $(1,501,162), or $(0.13) per basic and diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The change in net income attributable to the Company's common stockholders was a result of:
• | An increase in Other Income of approximately $1.2 million due to funds generated from the Murphy Canyon Acquisition Corporation Trust. The gain from interest income was approximately $1.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. | |
• | A 139% increase on the gain on sale of real estate of 6 model homes sold in the fourth quarter of 2022 for approximately $1.0 million, compared to a gain on sale during the fourth quarter of 2021 totaling approximately $0.4 million for 5 model homes. | |
• | Preferred Stock Series D dividends totaled approximately $0.5 million in Q4 2022, which is similar to Q4 2021. |
FFO (non-GAAP) for the three months ended December 31, 2022, increased by approximately $70,000 to approximately $132,000 from $62,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2021. A reconciliation of FFO to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is attached to this press release. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization as well as the changes in the value of the Company's properties that result from use or market conditions, each of which have real economic effects and could materially impact the Company's results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of the Company's performance is limited.
We believe Core FFO (non-GAAP) provides a useful metric in comparing operations between reporting periods and in assessing the sustainability of our ongoing operating performance. Core FFO decreased by about $210,000, or by 26%, from approximately $808,000 in three months ended December 31, 2021, to approximately $597,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2022.
Acquisitions and Dispositions for 2022
- The Company acquired 31 Model Home Properties and leased them back to the homebuilders under triple net leases during the year ended December 31, 2022. The purchase price for these properties was $15.6 million. The purchase price consisted of cash payments of $4.8 million and mortgage notes of $10.8 million.
- World Plaza, which was sold on March 11, 2022, for approximately $10.0 million and the Company recognized a loss of approximately $0.3 million.
- The Company disposed of 31 model homes for approximately $17.5 million and the Company recognized a gain of approximately $5.4 million.
Dividends paid during the first three quarters of 2022:
- During the first quarter of 2022, the Company paid a dividend of $0.105 per share to shareholders of Series A common stock.
- During the second quarter of 2022, the Company paid a dividend of $0.106 per share to shareholders of Series A common stock.
- During the third quarter of 2022, the Company paid a dividend of $0.020 per share to shareholders of Series A common stock.
- During the third quarter of 2022, the Company paid a dividend of $0.021 per share to shareholders of Series A common stock.
- During 2022, the Company paid twelve monthly dividends in the total amount of $2.34372 per share to shareholders of Series D preferred stock.
About Presidio Property Trust
Presidio is an internally managed, diversified REIT with holdings in model home properties which are triple-net leased to homebuilders, office, industrial, and retail properties. Presidio's model homes are leased to homebuilders located in Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida. Our office, industrial and retail properties are located primarily in Colorado, with properties also located in Maryland, North Dakota, Texas, and Southern California. While geographical clustering of real estate enables us to reduce our operating costs through economies of scale by servicing several properties with less staff, it makes us susceptible to changing market conditions in these discrete geographic areas, including those that have developed as a result of COVID-19. Presidio is also the sponsor of the Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) Murphy Canyon Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: MURF), which currently holds approximately $23.5 million in trust. Murphy Canyon Acquisition Corp. is a blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

Definitions
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Funds from Operations ("FFO") - The Company evaluates performance based on Funds From Operations, which we refer to as FFO, as management believes that FFO represents the most accurate measure of activity and is the basis for distributions paid to equity holders. The Company defines FFO as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, hedge ineffectiveness, acquisition costs of newly acquired properties that are not capitalized and lease acquisition costs that are not capitalized plus depreciation and amortization, including amortization of acquired above and below market lease intangibles and impairment charges on properties or investments in non-consolidated REITs, and after adjustments to exclude equity in income or losses from, and, to include the proportionate share of FFO from, non-consolidated REITs.
However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization as well as the changes in the value of the Company's properties that result from use or market conditions, each of which have real economic effects and could materially impact the Company's results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of the Company's performance is limited. In addition, other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition as the Company does, and, accordingly, the Company's FFO may not be comparable to other REITs' FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of the Company's performance.
Core Funds from Operations ("Core FFO") - We calculate Core FFO by using FFO as defined by NAREIT and adjusting for certain other non-core items. We also exclude from our Core FFO calculation acquisition costs, loss on early extinguishment of debt, changes in the fair value of the earn-out, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, non-cash warrant dividends and the amortization of stock-based compensation.
We believe Core FFO provides a useful metric in comparing operations between reporting periods and in assessing the sustainability of our ongoing operating performance. Other equity REITs may calculate Core FFO differently or not at all, and, accordingly, the Company's Core FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs' Core FFO.
