Table of Contents

The Company is the sole general partner of Armada Hoffler, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). The operations of the Company are carried on primarily through the Operating Partnership and the wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. Both the Company and the Operating Partnership were formed on October 12, 2012 and commenced operations upon completion of the underwritten initial public offering of shares of the Company’s common stock (the “IPO”) and certain related formation transactions (the “Formation Transactions”) on May 13, 2013.

Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. Predecessor (the “Predecessor”) was not a single legal entity, but rather a combination of real estate and construction entities under common ownership by their individual partners, members and stockholders and under common control or significant influence of Daniel A. Hoffler prior to the IPO and the Formation Transactions. The financial position and results of operations of the entities under common control of Mr. Hoffler have been combined in the Predecessor financial statements for the periods prior to the completion of the IPO and the Formation Transactions. The Predecessor accounted for its investments in the entities under significant influence of Mr. Hoffler using the equity method of accounting.

Pursuant to the Formation Transactions, the Operating Partnership: (i) acquired 100% of the interests in the entities comprising the Predecessor, (ii) succeeded to the ongoing construction and development businesses of the Predecessor, (iii) assumed asset management of certain of the properties acquired from the Predecessor, (iv) succeeded to the third party asset management business of the Predecessor, (v) succeeded to the projects under development by the Predecessor, (vi) received options to acquire nine parcels of developable land from the Predecessor and (vii) entered into a contribution agreement to acquire Liberty Apartments upon satisfaction of certain conditions and transferability restrictions including completion of the project’s construction by the Company. The Operating Partnership completed the acquisition of Liberty Apartments on January 17, 2014.

References to “Armada Hoffler” in these notes to consolidated and combined financial statements signify the Company for the period after the completion of the IPO and the Formation Transactions on May 13, 2013 and the Predecessor for all prior periods. Because of the timing of the IPO and the Formation Transactions, the results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 reflect those of the Predecessor together with the Company, while the results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 as well as the financial condition as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 reflect only those of the Company.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).

The consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of the Company, the Operating Partnership and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The results of operations of the entities comprising the Predecessor have been combined because they were under common ownership by their individual partners, members and stockholders and under common control of Mr. Hoffler. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in combination.

In the opinion of management, the consolidated and combined financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for the fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods presented.

The accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with the requirements for interim financial information. Accordingly, these interim financial statements have not been audited and exclude certain disclosures required for annual financial statements. Also, the operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed. Such estimates are based on management’s historical experience and best judgment after considering past, current and expected events and economic conditions. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements were prepared on the basis of the accounting principles described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, among others.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) revised the reporting and disclosure guidance for discontinued operations. Under the revised guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results will be reported as discontinued operations. The revised guidance also expands the disclosure requirements for discontinued operations and other disposals of significant business components. The revised guidance is not effective for the Company until January 1, 2015; however early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted the revised guidance effective January 1, 2014.

In May 2014, the FASB issued a new standard that provides a single, comprehensive model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. While the new standard does not supersede the guidance on accounting for leases, it could change the way the Company recognizes revenue from construction and development contracts with third party customers. The new standard will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of the new revenue recognition standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

3. Segments

Net operating income (segment revenues minus segment expenses) is the measure used by Armada Hoffler’s chief operating decision-maker to assess segment performance. Net operating income is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. As a result, net operating income should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate net operating income in the same manner. Armada Hoffler considers net operating income to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of Armada Hoffler’s real estate and construction businesses.

Net operating income of Armada Hoffler’s reportable segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was as follows (in thousands):

9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value measurements are based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 Inputs—observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 3 Inputs—unobservable inputs

Except as disclosed below, the carrying amounts of Armada Hoffler’s financial instruments approximate their fair value. Financial assets and liabilities whose fair values are measured on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs consist of interest rate swap and cap agreements. Armada Hoffler measures the fair values of these assets and liabilities based on prices provided by independent market participants that are based on observable inputs using market-based valuation techniques.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. For disclosure purposes, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The fair value of Armada Hoffler’s secured debt is sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates. Discounted cash flow analysis based on Level 2 inputs is generally used to estimate the fair value of Armada Hoffler’s secured debt.

Considerable judgment is used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. The estimates of fair value presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments.

The carrying amounts and fair values of our financial instruments, all of which are based on Level 2 inputs, as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows (in thousands):

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

Armada Hoffler is from time to time involved in various disputes, lawsuits, warranty claims, environmental and other matters arising in the ordinary course of its business. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters.

Armada Hoffler currently is a party to various legal proceedings, none of which management expects will have a material adverse effect on Armada Hoffler’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Armada Hoffler accrues a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is determined by management to be probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is determined by management to be probable and a range of loss can be reasonably estimated, Armada Hoffler accrues the best estimate within the range; however, if no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount within the range is accrued. Legal fees related to litigation are expensed as incurred. Armada Hoffler does not believe that the ultimate outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations; however, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties.

Under Armada Hoffler’s leases, tenants are typically obligated to indemnify Armada Hoffler from and against all liabilities, costs and expenses imposed upon or asserted against it as owner of the properties due to certain matters relating to the operation of the properties by the tenant.

Commitments

Armada Hoffler has a bonding line of credit for its general contracting construction business and is contingently liable under performance and payment bonds, bonds for cancellation of mechanics liens and defect bonds. Such bonds collectively totaled $193.4 million and $35.8 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

The Operating Partnership has entered into standby letters of credit using the available capacity under the credit facility. The letters of credit relate to the guarantee of future performance on certain of the Company’s construction contracts. Letters of credit generally are available for draw down in the event the Company does not perform. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Operating Partnership had total outstanding letters of credit of $11.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

 

12. Subsequent Events

As discussed in Note 4, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent to sell the Sentara Williamsburg office property for approximately $15.4 million.

As discussed in Note 5, the Operating Partnership borrowed $10.0 million under the credit facility on October 15, 2014 and repaid the North Point Center Note 4 for $1.0 million on November 3, 2014.

As discussed in Note 7, the Company paid cash dividends of $4.0 million to common stockholders and $2.4 million to common unitholders on October 9, 2014. The Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend/distribution of $0.16 per share/unit on November 10, 2014 to common stockholders and common unitholders of record on December 30, 2014.

Review Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc.

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. (successor to the entities described in Note 1) as of September 30, 2014, and the related condensed consolidated and combined statements of income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the condensed consolidated and combined statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and the condensed consolidated statement of equity for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated and combined statements of income, equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated and combined financial statements in our report dated March 31, 2014. In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Forward-Looking Statements

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated and combined financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. We make statements in this report that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). In particular, statements pertaining to our capital resources, portfolio performance and results of operations contain forward-looking statements. Likewise, all of our statements regarding anticipated growth in our funds from operations and estimated general contracting and real estate services segment gross profit are forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates” or “anticipates” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions.

Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties and you should not rely on them as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions, data or methods which may be incorrect or imprecise and we may not be able to realize them. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:

 

    adverse economic or real estate developments, either nationally or in the markets in which our properties are located;

 

    our failure to develop the properties in our development pipeline successfully, on the anticipated timeline or at the anticipated costs;

 

    our failure to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness;

 

    defaults on, early terminations of or non-renewal of leases by tenants, including significant tenants;

 

    bankruptcy or insolvency of a significant tenant or a substantial number of smaller tenants;

 

    difficulties in identifying or completing development, acquisition or disposition opportunities;

 

    our failure to successfully operate developed and acquired properties;

 

    our failure to generate income in our general contracting and real estate services segment in amounts that we anticipate;

 

    fluctuations in interest rates and increased operating costs;

 

    our failure to obtain necessary outside financing on favorable terms or at all;

 

    general economic conditions;

 

    financial market fluctuations;

 

    risks that affect the general retail environment or the market for office properties or multifamily units;

 

    the competitive environment in which we operate;

 

    decreased rental rates or increased vacancy rates;

 

    conflicts of interests with our officers and directors;

 

    lack or insufficient amounts of insurance;

 

    environmental uncertainties and risks related to adverse weather conditions and natural disasters;

 

    other factors affecting the real estate industry generally;

 

    our failure to maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

 

    limitations imposed on our business and our ability to satisfy complex rules in order for us to maintain our qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and

 

    changes in governmental regulations or interpretations thereof, such as real estate and zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates and taxation of REITs.

Table of Contents

While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, of new information, data or methods, future events or other changes after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, except as required by applicable law. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements and urge investors to carefully review the disclosures we make concerning risks and uncertainties in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as risks, uncertainties and other factors discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and identified in other documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Business Description

We are a full-service real estate company with extensive experience developing, building, owning and managing high-quality, institutional-grade office, retail and multifamily properties in attractive markets throughout the Mid-Atlantic United States.

We generally consider a property to be stabilized when it reaches 80% occupancy or three years after acquisition or completion. As of September 30, 2014, our stabilized operating property portfolio comprised seven office properties and 16 retail properties aggregating over 2.1 million net rentable square feet as well as two multifamily properties aggregating 626 apartment units. In addition to our stabilized operating property portfolio, we had four office properties and four retail properties aggregating over 0.6 million net rentable square feet as well as two multifamily properties aggregating 489 apartment units that were under development/redevelopment or had not yet reached stabilization as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We are a Maryland corporation formed on October 12, 2012 to acquire the entities in which Daniel A. Hoffler and his affiliates, certain of our other officers, directors and their affiliates and other third parties owned a direct or indirect interest (the “Formation Transactions”). We did not have any operating activity until the consummation of our initial public offering of our shares of common stock (the “IPO”) and the Formation Transactions on May 13, 2013. Upon completing our IPO and the Formation Transactions, we conduct our operations through Armada Hoffler, L.P. (our “Operating Partnership”), whose assets, liabilities and results of operations we consolidate.

Our “Predecessor” is not a single legal entity, but rather a combination of real estate and construction entities that were under common control by our Executive Chairman, Daniel A. Hoffler. These entities include: (i) controlling interests in entities that owned 7 office properties, 14 retail properties and 1 multifamily property, (ii) noncontrolling interests in entities that owned one retail and one multifamily property (Bermuda Crossroads and Smith’s Landing, respectively), (iii) the property development and asset management businesses of Armada Hoffler Holding Company, Inc. and (iv) the general commercial construction businesses of Armada Hoffler Construction Company and Armada Hoffler Construction Company of Virginia.

The results of operations of the properties and entities acquired by us in connection with our IPO and the Formation Transactions are included in our results beginning on May 13, 2013. Accordingly, the results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 reflect those of our Predecessor together with our company. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 reflect those of our company.

In addition to the projects in our development pipeline, we have been selected by Johns Hopkins University to join in the redevelopment of a 1.12 acre property adjacent to the university’s Homewood campus in Baltimore, Maryland. This mixed-use development will include student housing, retail space, restaurants and parking. The goal of the completed project will be to complement the Homewood campus and nearby Charles Village neighborhood and provide a catalyst for future development in the area. The Johns Hopkins project continues to move forward with a ground lease having been executed and the schematic design phase well under way.

We had previously identified Brooks Crossing among the projects in our development pipeline. Brooks Crossing is a multi-building, multi-phase partnership with the City of Newport News. The City of Newport News has now indicated that it intends to purchase the first building upon completion. As a result, we have removed Brooks Crossing from the preceding table, but continue to work with the City of Newport News on potential future phases of the project.

Our execution on all of the projects identified in the preceding table and the Johns Hopkins project are subject to, among other factors, regulatory approvals, financing availability and suitable market conditions.

We facilitated this public/private transaction among the City of Chesapeake, the Commonwealth of Virginia and Oceaneering International.

Sandbridge Commons continues our long-standing relationship with Harris Teeter, which has agreed to anchor the shopping center. In addition to a 53,000 square foot Harris Teeter grocery store, Sandbridge Commons will include approximately 22,000 square feet of small shop retail space. The site includes two outparcels that we may either lease or sell.

Commonwealth of Virginia Projects: In May 2014, we announced that we will develop two new administrative buildings for the Commonwealth of Virginia—one in Chesapeake and one in Virginia Beach—for a total of 47,000 square feet. The properties are 100% pre-leased to the Commonwealth of Virginia, which signed 12-year leases for both locations. We expect both projects to be completed by early 2015.

Lightfoot Marketplace will be a grocery-anchored shopping center in Williamsburg, Virginia. This multi-phased project is a redevelopment of the Williamsburg Outlet Mall. We expect to complete phase one of the project, consisting of approximately 88,000 square feet, in early 2016. Harris Teeter has signed a 20-year lease for approximately 53,000 square feet. Phase one of Lightfoot Marketplace will include an additional 35,000 square feet of shops and restaurants. Phase two represents an opportunity for us to develop another 42,000 square feet in the future. As the majority partner in this joint venture, we are entitled to a preferred return on our equity prior to any potential distributions to minority partners.

4525 Main Street is our most recent addition to the Town Center of Virginia Beach and is located at the intersection of Main Street and Town Center Drive across from The Cosmopolitan, One Columbus and Armada Hoffler Tower. This 15-story office tower is anchored by Clark Nexsen, an international architecture and engineering firm, to whom we delivered approximately 83,000 square feet of office space on schedule in July 2014. Additionally, we delivered to the City of Virginia Beach Development Authority approximately 23,000 square feet of office space on schedule in June 2014. 4525 Main Street also features approximately 26,000 square feet of ground floor retail space anchored by Anthropologie, which opened in October 2014. All of the remaining retail space is under lease by West Elm and Tupelo Honey Cafe.

Greentree Shopping Center is a retail power center that will feature a Wawa convenience store and gas station adjacent to a new Walmart Neighborhood Market. We delivered to Walmart their pad-ready site on schedule in the first quarter of 2014. We have a long-term ground lease with Wawa and delivered their pad on schedule in May 2014. We delivered the remaining retail space in October 2014.

Encore Apartments are also located in the Town Center of Virginia Beach adjacent to 4525 Main Street. Encore Apartments feature free covered parking, a private pool, concierge service, a business center and meeting space. We delivered the first units at Encore Apartments in September 2014.

Whetstone Apartments is Durham, North Carolina’s newest urban community and is conveniently located near Duke University. We delivered the initial units at Whetstone Apartments in September 2014.

Dick’s at Town Center: In September 2014, we executed a lease with USI Insurance Services for the space that we are currently renovating and expanding adjacent to Dick’s Sporting Goods in the Town Center of Virginia Beach. We expect to deliver the redeveloped 20,000 square feet of office space in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Segment Results of Operations

As of September 30, 2014, we operated our business in four segments: (i) office real estate, (ii) retail real estate, (iii) multifamily residential real estate and (iv) general contracting and real estate services, which are conducted through our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). Net operating income (segment revenues minus segment expenses) or “NOI” is the measure used by management to assess segment performance and allocate our resources among our segments. See Note 3 to Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. and Predecessor’s condensed consolidated and combined financial statements for additional discussion of our segments.

We define same store properties as those properties that we owned and operated and that were stabilized for the entirety of both periods presented. Same store properties exclude those that were in lease-up during either of the periods presented. We generally consider a property to be in lease-up until the earlier of: (i) the quarter after the property reaches 80% occupancy or (ii) the thirteenth quarter after the property receives its certificate of occupancy.

Segment revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased $9.6 million and $8.1 million, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2013. The increase in segment revenues resulted from higher volume on our construction contracts. NOI for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased $0.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2013. Our increased volume in the third quarter of 2014 helped to offset the slight decrease in operating margin compared to the third quarter of 2013. However, for the year-to-date period, we continue to experience better operating margins on our construction contracts during 2014 compared to 2013.

Backlog as of September 30, 2014 was $153.5 million compared to $59.5 million as of September 30, 2013.

Retail real estate taxes increased during the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding period in 2013 because of our acquisition of Dimmock Square on August 15, 2014. Retail real estate taxes increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding period in 2013 because of our consolidation of Bermuda Crossroads on May 13, 2013 as well as our acquisition of Dimmock Square.

Multifamily real estate taxes increased during the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding period in 2013 because of our acquisition of Liberty Apartments on January 17, 2014. Multifamily real estate taxes increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding period in 2013 because of our consolidation of Smith’s Landing on May 13, 2013 as well as our acquisition of Liberty Apartments.

General Contracting and Real Estate Services Expenses. General contracting and real estate services expenses increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding periods in 2013 because of higher volume on our construction contracts.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding periods in 2013 because of our acquisitions of Liberty Apartments on January 17, 2014 and Dimmock Square on August 15, 2014 as well as the initial operation of 4525 Main Street. Our consolidation of Bermuda Crossroads on May 13, 2013 also contributed to the increase in depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased during the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding period in 2013 because of higher back office and IT infrastructure costs. General and administrative expenses increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding period in 2013 because of higher regulatory and compliance costs incurred to operate as a public company.

Acquisition, Development and Other Pursuit Costs. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized $0.2 million of acquisition, development and other pursuit costs related primarily to our acquisition of Dimmock Square.

Impairment Charges. Impairment charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were nominal. We recognized impairment charges of $0.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 resulting from two retail tenants that vacated prior to their lease expiration. The impairment charge consisted of unamortized deferred leasing costs and lease incentives related to these two tenants.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased during the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding period in 2013 because of our acquisition of Liberty Apartments and assumption of $17.0 million of debt secured by the property as well as the initial operation of 4525 Main Street. Interest expense decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 because we repaid $174.7 million of debt secured by our stabilized portfolio during 2013. The decrease in interest expense was partially offset by our assumption of $25.0 million of debt secured by Smith’s Landing and $17.0 million of debt secured by Liberty Apartments.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt. During the three months September 30, 2013, we recognized costs of $1.1 million for the defeasance of the loan secured by One Columbus. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we also recognized a $1.1 million loss on the extinguishment of $150.0 million of debt using a portion of the net proceeds from our IPO and borrowings under our credit facility.

Gain on Acquisitions. We accounted for our acquisition of controlling interests in Bermuda Crossroads and Smith’s Landing as purchases at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with GAAP. As a result, we recognized a $9.5 million gain on acquisitions representing the difference between the fair value and carrying value of our Predecessor’s prior noncontrolling equity interests in Bermuda Crossroads and Smith’s Landing.

Other Income (Loss). Other income (loss) increased during the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding period in 2013 because of positive mark-to-market adjustments on our interest rate derivatives. Other income (loss) decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding period in 2013 because of our consolidation of Bermuda Crossroads and Smith’s Landing on May 13, 2013. We previously accounted for our noncontrolling interests in both Bermuda Crossroads and Smith’s Landing under the equity method and presented our earnings from each within other income. Negative mark-to-market adjustments on our interest rate derivatives also contributed to the decrease in other income (loss) during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Table of Contents

Income Tax Benefit (Provision). Prior to the completion of our IPO on May 13, 2013, we made no provision for U.S. federal, state or local income taxes because the profits and losses of our Predecessor flowed through to its respective partners, members and shareholders who were individually responsible for reporting such amounts. Subsequent to the completion of our IPO, our TRSs through which we conduct our development and construction business are subject to federal, state and local corporate income taxes. The income tax benefit (provision) recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 is attributable to the taxable profits or losses of our TRSs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We believe our primary short-term liquidity requirements consist of general contracting expenses, operating expenses and other expenditures associated with our properties, including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and leasing incentives, dividend payments to our stockholders required to maintain our REIT qualification, debt service, capital expenditures, new real estate development projects and strategic acquisitions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations, reserves established from existing cash, borrowings under construction loans to fund new real estate development and construction and borrowings available under our credit facility.

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary for the repayment of debt at or prior to maturity, general contracting expenses, property development and acquisitions, tenant improvements and capital improvements. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with net cash from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of equity and debt securities. We may also fund property development, acquisitions and capital improvements using our credit facility pending long-term financing.

As of September 30, 2014, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $17.1 million and restricted cash in escrow of $4.4 million available for both current liquidity needs as well as development activities. As of September 30, 2014, we had $90.0 million available under our credit facility to meet our short-term liquidity requirements.

Credit Facility

On May 13, 2013, we closed on a $100.0 million senior secured credit facility that includes an accordion feature that allows us to increase the borrowing capacity under the facility up to $250.0 million, subject to certain conditions. On October 10, 2013, we increased the borrowing capacity under the credit facility to $155.0 million pursuant to the accordion feature by adding six properties to the borrowing base collateral. As of September 30, 2014, the following ten properties collectively served as the borrowing base collateral for the credit facility: (i) Armada Hoffler Tower, (ii) Richmond Tower, (iii) One Columbus, (iv) Two Columbus, (v) Virginia Natural Gas, (vi) Sentara Williamsburg, (vii) a portion of North Point Center, (viii) Gainsborough Square, (ix) Parkway Marketplace and (x) Courthouse 7-Eleven.

The credit facility matures on May 13, 2016 and includes an optional one-year extension (assuming our compliance with applicable covenants and conditions) for a fee equal to 0.25% of the then applicable maximum amount of the credit facility.

The credit facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.60% to 2.20%, depending on our total leverage ratio. As of September 30, 2014, the interest rate on the credit facility was LIBOR plus 1.95%. In addition to interest owed under the credit facility, we are obligated to pay an annual fee based on the average unused portion of the credit facility. This fee is payable quarterly in arrears and is 0.25% of the amount of the unused portion of the credit facility if amounts borrowed are greater than 50% of the credit facility and 0.30% of the unused portion of the credit facility if amounts borrowed are less than 50% of the credit facility.

As of September 30, 2014, we had $54.0 million borrowed under the credit facility and had standby letters of credit issued under the credit facility totaling $11.0 million. As of September 30, 2014, we had $90.0 million of aggregate capacity available under the credit facility. On October 15, 2014, we borrowed an additional $10.0 million under the credit facility.

The credit facility requires us to comply with various financial covenants, including:

 

    Maximum leverage ratio (as amended on April 22, 2014) of 65% as of the last day of each fiscal quarter through maturity;

 

    Minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.75x;

 

32


Table of Contents
    Minimum tangible net worth equal to at least the sum of 80% of tangible net worth on the closing date of the credit facility plus 75% of the net proceeds of any additional equity issuances;

 

    Maximum amount of variable rate indebtedness not exceeding 30% of our total asset value; and

 

    Maximum amount of secured recourse indebtedness of 35% of our total asset value.

The credit facility permits investments in the following types of assets: (i) unimproved land holdings in an aggregate amount not exceeding 5% of our total asset value, (ii) construction in progress in an aggregate amount not exceeding 25% of our total asset value and (iii) unconsolidated affiliates in an aggregate amount not exceeding 5% of our total asset value. Investments in these types of assets cannot collectively exceed 30% of our total asset value. In addition to these financial covenants, the credit facility requires us to comply with various customary affirmative and negative covenants that restrict our ability to, among other things, incur debt and liens, make investments, dispose of properties and make distributions.

We are currently in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility.

Net cash from operating activities increased $3.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding period in 2013. The increase resulted from higher NOI from our office, retail and multifamily segments, higher gross profits from our general contracting and real estate services segment and lower interest costs.

Net cash used in investing activities increased $58.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding period in 2013. The increase resulted primarily from greater investment in new real estate development. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we invested $77.1 million in the development and construction of the projects in our development pipeline compared to $24.9 million during the corresponding period in 2013.

Net cash from financing activities increased $53.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding period in 2013. The increase resulted primarily from lower debt repayments and increased borrowings, partially offset by lower net proceeds from equity offerings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we made debt repayments of $61.5 million, including $49.0 million on our credit facility, compared to debt repayments of $184.6 million during the corresponding period in 2013. We borrowed $92.4 million on our construction loans and credit facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $62.7 million during the corresponding period in 2013. On September 15, 2014, we completed an underwritten public offering of 5.75 million shares of common stock raising net proceeds of $49.3 million. Net proceeds raised from our IPO during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $195.6 million. In 2013, we also paid $47.2 million as partial consideration to prior investors upon completing our IPO and related Formation Transactions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because it believes that FFO is beneficial to investors as a starting point in measuring our operational performance. Specifically, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions, which do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared period over period, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs.

However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our 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 effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. In addition, other equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition as we do, and, accordingly, our 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 our performance. 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 or service indebtedness. FFO also should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP.

FFO for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased $2.1 million compared to the corresponding period in 2013 because of the positive initial leasing performance of 4525 Main Street, our acquisition of Dimmock Square, increased occupancy and same store NOI in each of our operating property segments and the negative impact of a $1.1 million loss on debt extinguishment during the three months ended September 30, 2013.

FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased $7.0 million compared to the corresponding period in 2013 because of our consolidation of Bermuda Crossroads and Smith’s Landing, higher gross profit from our general contracting and real estate services segment, the positive initial leasing performance of 4525 Main Street, our acquisition of Dimmock Square, higher overall same store NOI from our operating property portfolio, lower interest expense and the negative impact of a $2.3 million loss on debt extinguishment during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated and combined financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to exercise our best judgment in making estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, based upon current available information. Actual results could differ from these estimates. We discuss the accounting policies and estimates that are most critical to understanding our reported financial results in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk. Our primary interest rate exposure is daily LIBOR. We primarily use fixed interest rate financing to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. On a limited basis, we also use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk. We do not use derivatives for trading or other speculative purposes. We have not designated any of our derivatives as hedges for accounting purposes.

As of September 30, 2014, approximately $144.8 million, or 43%, of our debt had fixed interest rates and approximately $191.0 million, or 57%, had variable interest rates. Considering interest rate swaps, approximately $190.3 million of our debt is subject to interest rate risk. Assuming no increase in the level of our variable rate debt, if interest rates increased by 1.0%, our cash flow would decrease by approximately $1.9 million per year. As of September 30, 2014, LIBOR was approximately 16 basis points. Assuming no increase in the level of our variable rate debt, if LIBOR was reduced to 0 basis points, our cash flow would increase by approximately $0.3 million per year.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2014, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, as of September 30, 2014, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act: (i) is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

No changes to our internal control over financial reporting were identified in connection with the evaluation referenced above that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
