    PS Business Parks, Inc. (NYSE:PSB) reported operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

    Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

    Net income allocable to common shareholders was $26.3 million, or $0.96 per diluted common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $19.7 million, or 42.8%, from $46.0 million, or $1.69 per diluted common share, for the same period in 2018. The decrease was mainly due to the gain on sale of a real estate facility sold during the first quarter of 2018 that did not recur in the first quarter of 2019, partially offset by an increase in net operating income (“NOI”) with respect to our real estate facilities. The increase in NOI includes a $3.0 million, or 4.3%, increase attributable to our Same Park facilities driven by an increase in rental rates and occupancy, combined with increased NOI from our Non-Same Park and multifamily assets, partially offset by reduced NOI generated from facilities sold in 2018.

    Funds from Operations (“FFO”), Core FFO and Funds Available for Distribution (“FAD”)

    FFO increased 5.2% during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, increasing to $1.67 per share from $1.59 per share in the prior period. FFO is a non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) measure defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts and generally represents GAAP net income before real estate depreciation and amortization expense, gains or losses on sales of operating properties and land and impairment charges on real estate assets.

    Core FFO per share was exactly equal to FFO per share for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. Core FFO is also a non-GAAP measure that represents FFO excluding the impact of (i) charges related to the redemption of preferred stock and (ii) nonrecurring income or expense items.

    FAD was $46.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $43.9 million for the same period in 2018, an increase of 5.3%. FAD is a non-GAAP measure that represents Core FFO adjusted to (a) deduct recurring capital improvements that maintain our real estate condition, tenant improvements and lease commissions and (b) eliminate certain non-cash income or expenses such as straight-line rent and stock compensation expense.

    FFO, Core FFO and FAD are not substitutes for GAAP net income. Other real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may compute these measures differently; and, in the case of Core FFO and FAD, other REITs may not use the same methodology which could inhibit comparability. We believe our presentations of FFO, Core FFO and FAD assist investors and analysts in analyzing and comparing our operating and financial performance between reporting periods.

    Property Operations–Same Park Portfolio

    We believe that evaluation of our Same Park portfolio, defined as all properties owned and operated as of March 31, 2019 that were acquired prior to January 1, 2017, provides an informative view of how the Company’s portfolio has performed over comparable periods. As of March 31, 2019, our Same Park facilities constitute 27.1 million rentable square feet, or 96.1% of the 28.2 million rentable square feet in the Company’s total portfolio, and excludes our 95.0% interest in our 395-unit multifamily property.

    The following table presents the unaudited operating results of the Company’s Same Park facilities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands, except per square foot amounts):

           
     
    For the Three Months
    Ended March 31,
    2019 2018 Change
    Rental income $ 102,846 $ 98,630 4.3 %
     
    Adjusted cost of operations (1)
    Property taxes 10,702 10,224 4.7 %
    Utilities 5,844 5,851 (0.1 %)
    Repairs and maintenance 6,247 6,112 2.2 %
    Snow removal 1,316 812 62.1 %
    Other expenses   6,962     6,839   1.8 %
    Total 31,071 29,838 4.1 %
           
    NOI (1) (2) $ 71,775   $ 68,792   4.3 %
     
    Selected Statistical Data
    NOI margin (3) 69.8 % 69.7 % 0.1 %
    Weighted average square foot occupancy 94.5 % 94.2 % 0.3 %
    Annualized revenue per occupied square foot (4) $ 16.04 $ 15.43 4.0 %
    Revenue per available foot (RevPAF) (5) $ 15.16 $ 14.54 4.3 %
    (1)   Adjusted cost of operations, as presented above, excludes stock compensation expense for employees whose compensation expense is recorded in cost of operations, which can vary significantly period to period based upon the performance of the Company. Beginning January 1, 2019, the Company has recorded our divisional vice presidents’ compensation costs within general and administrative expense as we determined that the nature of these individuals’ responsibilities is more consistent with corporate oversight as opposed to direct property operations. As a result of this change, we have reclassified divisional vice presidents’ compensation costs totaling $385,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 from adjusted cost of operations into general and administrative expenses in order to conform to the current period presentation. Non-cash compensation expense for our divisional vice presidents, which totaled $159,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, had previously been excluded from adjusted cost of operations.
    (2) We utilize NOI, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the operating performance of our business parks. We define NOI as rental income less adjusted cost of operations. We believe NOI assists investors in analyzing the performance and value of our business parks by excluding (i) corporate overhead (i.e., general and administrative expenses) because it does not relate to the results of our business parks, (ii) depreciation and amortization expense because it does not accurately reflect changes in the fair value of our business parks and (iii) stock compensation expense because this expense item can vary significantly from period to period and thus impact comparability across periods.
    (3) NOI margin is computed by dividing NOI by rental income.
    (4) Revenue per occupied square foot is computed by dividing rental income during the period by weighted average occupied square feet during the same period. For the three month periods ending March 31, 2019 and 2018, rental income amounts have been annualized.
    (5) Revenue per available foot is computed by dividing rental income during the period by weighted average available square feet during the same period. For the three month periods ending March 31, 2019 and 2018, rental income amounts have been annualized.

The eight buildings are located in the Signal Hill industrial submarket where we already own five industrial parks totaling 268,000 square feet.
