RAIT Financial Trust (“RAIT”) (NYSE: RAS) today announced first quarter 2016 financial results. All per share results are reported on a diluted basis.
Highlights
Scott Schaeffer, RAIT’s Chairman and CEO, said, “During the quarter the portfolio delivered $0.14 of CAD which more than covered the $0.09 per share quarterly common dividend. We originated approximately $40 million of primarily floating-rate loans during the quarter as we are ramping towards our sixth floating-rate securitization later this year. Our property portfolio, particularly our multi-family portfolio, is performing well and we are seeing positive momentum in our office portfolio.”

2016 CAD Guidance
As stated above, we’ve changed our definition of CAD to exclude real estate gains. We are re-affirming our 2016 CAD estimate range previously described as CAD, without real estate gains, of $0.50 - $0.60 per common share. A reconciliation of RAIT's projected net income (loss) allocable to common shares to its projected CAD, a non-GAAP financial measure, is included below. The assumptions underlying this estimate are also included below.
2016 Annualized ProjectedCAD(1)(2)
Net income (loss) available to common shares $(53,560) - $(44,460) Adjustments: Depreciation and amortization 88,579 - 88,579 Real estate (gains) losses (34,258) - (34,258) Other items, including deferred fees, stock compensation, and noncontrolling interest allocation of certain adjustments 45,012 - 45,012 CAD $45,773 - $54,873 CAD per share $0.50 - $0.60 (1) We have changed our calculation of CAD to exclude the impact from real estate property sales. See Schedule VI for our definition of CAD and the rationale for this change. (2) Constitutes forward-looking information. Actual full 2016 CAD could vary significantly from the projections presented. CAD may fluctuate based upon a variety of factors, including those described in “Forward Looking Statements” below. Our estimate is based on the following key operating assumptions during 2016: - Gross loan originations of $200 million to $500 million. - No CMBS gain on sale profits. - Loan repayments totaling $200 million.Selected Financial Information

RAIT Financial Trust DefinitionsAssets Under Management
Assets under management, or AUM, is an operating measure representing the total assets that we own or are managing for third parties. While not all AUM generates fee income, it is an important operating measure to gauge our asset growth, volume of originations, size and scale of our operations and our performance. AUM includes our total investment portfolio, assets associated with unconsolidated securitizations for which we derive asset management fees and real estate properties we manage on behalf of third parties.
Cash Available for Distribution
Cash available for distribution, or CAD, is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe that CAD provides investors and management with a meaningful indicator of operating performance. Management also uses CAD, among other measures, to evaluate profitability and our board of trustees considers CAD in determining our quarterly cash distributions. We also believe that CAD is useful because it adjusts for a variety of noncash items (such as depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, provision for loan losses and non-cash interest income and expense items). In addition, the compensation committee of our board of trustees used CAD as a metric in establishing quantitative performance based awards for certain of our executive officers beginning in 2015. Furthermore, in measuring our performance in periods prior to 2015, CAD removes the effect of our previous consolidation of the legacy securitizations, T8 and T9, which we deconsolidated as part of our exit of the Taberna business in December 2014.
We calculate CAD by subtracting from or adding to net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders the following items: depreciation and amortization items including depreciation and amortization, straight-line rental income or expense, amortization of in place leases, amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of discount on financings and equity-based compensation; changes in the fair value of our financial instruments; realized gains (losses) on assets; provision for loan losses; asset impairments; acquisition gains or losses and transaction costs; certain fee income eliminated in consolidation that is attributable to third parties; and one-time events pursuant to changes in U.S. GAAP and certain other non-routine items. In the quarter ended March 31, 2016, we changed our method of calculating CAD to exclude the impact of real property sales from CAD. We made this change in response to investor feedback to focus CAD on our core business activities. In addition, we provide guidance regarding our expected CAD in future periods and this change removes variability resulting from the ultimate timing of future property sales.
CAD should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or cash generated from operating activities, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as an indicator of operating performance. For example, CAD does not adjust for the accrual of income and expenses that may not be received or paid in cash during the associated periods. Please refer to our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP in Part I, Item 1. In addition, our methodology for calculating CAD may differ from the methodologies used by other comparable companies, including other REITs, when calculating the same or similar supplemental financial measures and may not be comparable with these companies.
Funds from Operations
We believe that funds from operations, or FFO, which is a non-GAAP measure, is an additional appropriate measure of the operating performance of a REIT. We compute FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, as net income or loss allocated to common shares (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding real estate-related depreciation and amortization expense, gains or losses on sales of real estate and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles. Our management utilizes FFO as a measure of our operating performance. FFO is not an equivalent to net income or cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Furthermore, FFO does not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments or uncertainties. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.
Net Operating Income
Net Operating Income (“NOI”), a non-GAAP measure, is a useful measure of the operating performance of its real estate portfolio. NOI is defined as total property revenue less total property operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization and interest expense. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to other REITs. We believe that this measure provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP operating income or net income. We use NOI to evaluate our real estate portfolio performance on a same store and non-same store basis because NOI measures the core operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses and other items not related to property operating performance and captures trends in rental rates and property operating expenses.
Same Store Properties and Same Store Portfolio
RAIT reviews its same store properties or portfolio at the beginning of each calendar year. Properties are added into the same store portfolio if they were owned at the beginning of the previous year. Properties that have been sold are excluded from the same store portfolio. Properties included in the redevelopment portfolio are not part of the same store portfolio.
