SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / March 30, 2021 / Presidio Property Trust, Inc. (NASDAQ:SQFT) ("Presidio" or the "Company"), an internally managed, diversified REIT, with holdings in office, industrial, retail, and model home properties, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2020.

"We are pleased to report our first full-year earnings as a publicly traded company," said Jack Heilbron, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We have a lot to be proud of in 2020, but we are especially pleased with our portfolio of diverse assets in a variety of geographies, as it validated the success of our strategy, even during the COVID-19 crisis. We collected 98% of billed rents in 2020," said Heilbron.

"In spite of many COVID-19 challenges, occupancy at our 15 same store properties increased 2.4% as of December 31, 2020, as compared to the same 15 stores at December 31, 2019," noted Gary Katz, Senior Vice President of Asset Management. "Leasing activity remained robust throughout the year. We inked new and renewal leases for over 280,000 square feet, a strong showing for our properties, in particular, and for the commercial real estate markets where they are located."

2020 Highlights

• Core FFO for the year was $1,483,382, or approximately $0.16 per fully diluted share;

Year Ended December 31, 2020 Financial Results

Net loss attributable to the Company's common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2020 was approximately $7.7 million, or $0.85 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $610,000 or $0.07 per basic and diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in net loss attributable to the Company's common stockholders was a result of a decrease in revenues of $4.3 million in 2020 compared to 2019 due to the sale of properties. Property sales reduced the Company's leverage, lowering mortgage notes and notes payable by $27 million in 2020 compared to 2019.

Funds from Operations or FFO (non-GAAP) for 2020 was approximately $1,483,000 compared to approximately $2,374,000 for 2019. A reconciliation of FFO to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is attached to this press release.

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 and 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 equity 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 such 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 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.

Same Store Net Operating Income ("Same Store NOI") - Same Store NOI is calculated as the NOI attributable to the properties continuously owned and operated for the entirety of the reporting periods presented. The Company's definition of Same Store NOI excludes properties that were not stabilized during both of the applicable reporting periods. These exclusions may include, but are not limited to, acquisitions, dispositions and properties undergoing repositioning or significant renovations.

We believe Same Store NOI is an important measure of comparison because it allows for comparison of operating results of stabilized properties owned and operated for the entirety of both applicable periods and therefore eliminates variations caused by acquisitions, dispositions or repositioning during such periods. Other REITs may calculate Same Store NOI differently and our calculation should not be compared to that of other REITs.
