BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Aug 08, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) --

Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc.(NYSE: KW) ("Kennedy Wilson" or the "Company"), an international real estate investment and services company, today reported a second quarter 2011 net loss attributable to common shareholders of $2.4 million (or $0.06 per basic and diluted share) compared to net income attributable to common shareholders of $8.5 million (or $0.22 per basic and $0.20 per diluted share) for the same period in 2010.

The Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and stock-based and merger-related compensation expense ("Adjusted EBITDA") for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 were $17.5 million and $32.6 million, respectively, compared to $24.8 million and $30.6 million for the same periods in 2010, respectively.

2Q 2011 Highlights

Investments

  • The Company's quarter-end cash position was $191 million and total assets on its balance sheet topped $700 million for the first time in its history.
  • Kennedy Wilson's investment account (the Company's equity in real estate and loan investments) increased by $95.7 million, or 26.3%, to $459.4 million at June 30, 2011 from $363.7 million as of December 31, 2010.

Services

  • The Company's Assets Under Management ("AUM") increased from approximately $7 billion at December 31, 2010 to approximately $10 billion at June 30, 2011.
  • Kennedy Wilson auctioned and conventionally sold approximately $180 million of properties in CA, OR, WA, FL, TX, NC through June 30, 2011.

  • In July, Kennedy Wilson acted as an advisor on the $1.5 billion equity investment in the Bank of Ireland.

Adjusted EBITDA Metrics

  • During the six months ended June 30, 2011, Kennedy Wilson's services segment achieved an Adjusted EBITDA of $3.3 million, a 0.7% decrease from $3.4 million for the same period in 2010.

Robust Acquisition Program

  • During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company, through consolidated and joint venture investments, closed or is under contract to close approximately $738 million of real estate acquisitions through direct and joint venture investments. The Company's acquisitions since 2010 total approximately $2.8 billion.

Accessed Debt Financing and Capital Markets

  • Since November 2009, the Company has raised approximately $3.4 billion of corporate capital and joint venture equity to pursue its investment program.
  • In April 2011, the Company completed the sale and issuance of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes.
  • During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company, through consolidated and joint venture investments, completed $427 million of property level financings in the United States and Japan at a weighted average interest rate of 3.14%.
  • In June 2011, the Company issued 4.8 million shares of common stock to institutional investors for gross proceeds of $51.4 million.

Significant Multifamily Platform

  • Kennedy Wilson's current multifamily platform consists of 12,906 units within 78 apartment communities. The Company owns 204 units through consolidated subsidiaries and has equity investments in joint ventures that own 12,702 units. The units are located in California (54%), the Pacific Northwest (28%), and Japan (18%).
  • The Company's multifamily portfolio is 94% occupied and, on a trailing 12-month basis, produced an annualized net operating income of $123 million (annualized for communities purchased in 2011 and stabilized for one community in lease-up). The current debt associated with these properties is approximately $1.4 billion, and Kennedy Wilson's aggregate equity investment in the portfolio is approximately 32% of the total equity invested in the portfolio. In many cases, in addition to its ownership percentage, the Company has a promoted interest in the profits of these investments. Management believes that the Company's multifamily investments are generally in supply constrained markets that will experience rent growth over the next several years.
  • On May 6, 2011, a joint venture owned by Kennedy Wilson and its partners sold a 286-unit multifamily project in Anaheim, CA at a 4.8% capitalization rate.

"The company has continued its growth strategy through the first half of 2011, increasing its AUM to approximately $10 billion," said William McMorrow, chairman and CEO of Kennedy Wilson. "We ended the second quarter with the highest cash balance in our history and continue to build recurring income through the expansion of our services business and investment platform."
