UNIONDALE, N.Y., May 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: ABR), a real estate investment trust focused on the business of investing in real estate related bridge and mezzanine loans, preferred and direct equity investments, mortgage-related securities and other real estate related assets, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009. Arbor reported a net loss attributable to Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. for the quarter of $4.3 million, or $0.17 per diluted common share, compared to net income attributable to Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 of $12.7 million, or $0.62 per diluted common share. Funds from operations ("FFO") for the quarter was a loss of $3.8 million, or $0.15 per diluted common share, compared to FFO income for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 of $15.0 million, or $0.62 per diluted common share. Excluding $37.3 million of net income attributable to Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. from the Prime transaction, $2.5 million of net income attributable to Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. from the Company's equity investment in Alpine Meadows and a gain of $26.3 million on the extinguishment of debt, net loss attributable to Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $70.4 million, or $2.80 per diluted common share.(1)

In March 2009, the Company transferred 16.67% of its 24.17% interest in Prime Outlets, at a value of approximately $37 million, in exchange for preferred and common operating partnership units of Lightstone Value Plus REIT L.P. The Company retained a 7.5% ownership interest in Prime Outlets.

As previously disclosed, in June 2008, Arbor borrowed from Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. approximately $33 million, which was initially secured by its 16.67% interest in Prime Outlets and has a remaining term of approximately seven years. In March 2009, the Company exchanged its 16.67% interest in Prime Outlets for approximately $37 million of preferred and common operating partnership units in Lightstone Value Plus REIT L.P. and the $33 million loan is now secured by Arbor's preferred and common operating partnership units. In June 2013, the preferred units may be redeemed by Lightstone Value Plus REIT L.P. for cash and the loan would become due upon such redemption. The preferred operating partnership units yield 4.63% and the loan bears interest at a rate of 4%.

The Company owned its 16.67% interest through a consolidated entity which had a 25% interest in Prime Outlets with a third party member owning the remaining 8.33%. Through this consolidated entity, the Company recorded in its first quarter 2009 financial statements an investment of approximately $56.0 million for the preferred and common operating partnership units, income of approximately $56.0 million, noncontrolling interest expense of approximately $18.7 million related to the third party member's portion of income recorded, noncontrolling interest due to the third party member of approximately $2.1 million and a reduction of a $16.5 million receivable from the third party member which was previously recorded in other assets. In addition, the Company prepaid approximately $7.3 million in incentive management fees to its manager in 2008 related to this transaction. In accordance with the management agreement, installments of the annual incentive fee are subject to potential reconciliation at the end of the 2009 fiscal year.

During the first quarter of 2009, the Company purchased, at a discount, approximately $23.7 million of investment grade rated bonds originally issued by the Company's three CDO issuing entities. In addition, the Company purchased, at a discount, approximately $9.4 million of junior subordinated notes originally issued by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company's operating partnership. The Company recorded a net gain on early extinguishment of debt of $26.3 million related to these transactions. The purchases were reflected on the Company's balance sheet as a reduction of the corresponding outstanding debt totaling $33.1 million, of which approximately $18.1 million was acquired from the Company's manager, Arbor Commercial Mortgage, LLC in a related party transaction.

During the quarter, the Company recorded $2.5 million of income from its $12.7 million equity investment in the Alpine Meadows unconsolidated joint venture, a seasonal ski resort operation. This amount reflects Arbor's portion of the joint venture's profits, including depreciation expense of approximately $0.2 million, and was recorded in income from equity affiliates and as an addition to the Company's investment in equity affiliates on the balance sheet.

The net balance in the loan and investment portfolio, excluding loan loss reserves, was $2.3 billion at March 31, 2009, compared to $2.4 billion at December 31, 2008. The average balance of the loan and investment portfolio, excluding loan loss reserves, during the first quarter of 2009 was $2.4 billion and the average yield on these assets for the quarter was 5.12%, compared to $2.5 billion and 7.08% for the fourth quarter of 2008.

At March 31, 2009, the balance of debt financing on the loan and investment portfolio was $1.9 billion, as compared to $2.0 billion at December 31, 2008. The average balance of debt financing on the loan and investment portfolio during the first quarter of 2009 was $2.0 billion and the average cost of these borrowings was 3.94%, compared to $2.1 billion and 4.10% for the fourth quarter of 2008. In addition, the first quarter of 2009 included a $0.7 million increase in interest expense for a change in the market value of certain interest rate swaps in accordance with GAAP, as compared to a $4.2 million reduction in interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2008. Excluding the effect of these swaps, the average cost of borrowings for the first quarter of 2009 was 3.78%, as compared to 4.94% for the fourth quarter of 2008.

For the first quarter of 2009, Arbor Commercial Mortgage, LLC, did not earn an incentive compensation fee installment.

Financing Activity

As of March 31, 2009, Arbor's financing facilities for its loan and investment portfolio totaled approximately $2.2 billion and borrowings outstanding under such facilities were $1.9 billion.

In May 2009, the Company exchanged $247.1 million of its outstanding trust preferred securities, consisting of $239.7 million of junior subordinated notes issued to third party investors and $7.4 million of common equity issued to the Company, in exchange for $268.4 million of newly issued unsecured junior subordinated notes, representing 112% of the original face amount. The new notes bear a fixed interest rate of 0.50% per annum for a period of approximately three years. Thereafter, the interest rate will revert back to the original floating pay rate over LIBOR in effect prior to the exchange through the maturity of the notes. During this three year period, the Company will be permitted to make distributions of up to 100% of taxable income to common shareholders. The Company has agreed that such distributions will be paid in the form of the Company's stock to the maximum extent permissible under the Internal Revenue Service rules and regulations in effect at the time of such distribution, with the balance payable in cash. This requirement regarding distributions in stock can be terminated by the Company at any time, provided that the Company pays the note holders the original rate of interest from the time of such termination. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this transaction on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

During the quarter, the Company reduced its outstanding warehouse and term debt outstanding balances by approximately $33.2 million through a combination of loan payoffs and assets being moved into the Company's CDO vehicles.

The Company is subject to various financial covenants and restrictions by each of the Company's CDO and credit facilities. Based on the unaudited financial statements in this release, the Company believes that it was in compliance with all credit facility financial covenants and restrictions as of March 31, 2009 with the exception of one financial covenant with one financial institution. The Company has obtained a waiver of this covenant for March 31, 2009 from this financial institution. In addition, the Company was in compliance with all CDO covenants with the exception of the over collateralization test of CDO I, as of March 31, 2009. In April 2009, this covenant was cured prior to the waterfall distribution date and, as a result, the Company is currently in compliance with all CDO covenants.

Portfolio Activity

During the quarter, 5 loans paid off on properties that were either sold or refinanced outside of Arbor with an outstanding balance of approximately $19 million and 5 loans had significant paydowns of approximately $31 million, including a $9.0 million loss on the restructuring of two loans. In addition, eight loans were either refinanced or modified with Arbor totaling $161 million, of which one loan totaling $30 million was scheduled to repay during the quarter.

Additionally, one loan totaling approximately $3 million was extended during the quarter in accordance with the extension option of the corresponding loan agreement.

No loans were originated during the quarter.

At March 31, 2009, the loan and investment portfolio unpaid principal balance, excluding loan loss reserves, was $2.3 billion, with a weighted average current interest pay rate of 5.74%. At the same date, advances on financing facilities pertaining to the loan and investment portfolio totaled $1.9 billion, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.65% excluding financing costs, interest rate swap costs and changes in the market value of certain interest rate swaps.

As of March 31, 2009, Arbor's loan portfolio consisted of 34% fixed-rate and 66% variable-rate loans.

During the first quarter of 2009, the Company recorded $67.5 million in loan loss reserves related to 14 loans with a carrying value of approximately $437.9 million, before loan loss reserves. The loan loss reserves were the result of the Company's regular quarterly risk rating review process, which is based on several factors including current market conditions, real estate values and the operating status of each property. At March 31, 2009, the Company's total loan loss reserves were $198.0 million relating to 18 loans with an aggregate carrying value before reserves of approximately $588.8 million.

In the first quarter of 2009, the Company received $11.8 million in principal paydowns on two loans with an unpaid principal balance of $24.2 million and recorded a loss on the restructuring of these loans of approximately $9.0 million.

The Company had nine non-performing loans with a carrying value of approximately $198.4 million, net of related loan loss reserves of $86.0 million as of March 31, 2009, compared to four non-performing loans with a carrying value of approximately $113.0 million, net of related loan loss reserves of $20.5 million as of December 31, 2008. Income recognition on these loans has been suspended and will resume when the loans become contractually current and performance has recommenced.

Dividend

The Board of Directors and the Company have elected not to pay a common stock dividend for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The Company decided, based on the continued difficult economic environment, to retain capital for working capital purposes.

    b.) Given the magnitude and the deferral structure of the 450 West 33rd
    Street transaction combined with the change in the fair value of certain
    derivative instruments, Arbor has elected to report adjusted book value
    per share for the affected period to currently reflect the future impact
    of the 450 West 33rd Street transaction on the company's financial
    condition as well as the evaluation of Arbor without the effects of
    unrealized losses from certain of the Company's derivative instruments.
    Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be an effective
    indicator, for both management and investors, of Arbor's financial
    performance. Arbor's management does not advocate that investors consider
    this non-GAAP financial measure in isolation from, or as a substitute

    c.) Arbor is presenting funds from operations, or FFO, because management
    believes it to be an important supplemental measure of the Company's
    operating performance in that it is frequently used by analysts, investors
    and other parties in the evaluation of real estate investment trusts
    (REITs). The Company also uses FFO for the calculation of the incentive
    Management fee payable to the Company's manager, Arbor Commercial
    Mortgage, LLC. The revised White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of
    Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts,
    or NAREIT, in April 2002 defines FFO as net income (loss) attributable
    to Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. (computed in accordance with generally
    accepted accounting principles (GAAP)), excluding gains (losses) from
    sales of depreciated real properties, plus real estate related
    depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated
    partnerships and joint ventures.  Arbor considers gains and losses on the
    sales of real estate investments to be a normal part of our recurring
    operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be excluded
    when calculating FFO.
    FFO is not intended to be an indication of our cash flow from operating
    activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) or a measure of our
    liquidity, nor is it entirely indicative of funding our cash needs,
    including our ability to make cash distributions.  Arbor's calculation
    of FFO may be different from the calculation used by other companies and,
    therefore, comparability may be limited.
