Future Value of €1

• How much money will you have in the future if you invest €1 today?

• If you invest €1 today at 6% interest rate, how much will you have in 3 years if the interest is compounded?

• Formula P x (1 + i ) n

€1 x 1.06 x 1.06 x 1.06 =

€1.19

P = Principal

• Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

– Defined

– Calculated

• Major investment criterion

TIME VALUE OF MONEY

Page 24: ICSC European Retail Property School Shopping Centre Finance · Is the gross income of a property after deduction of all operational expenses, property tax, insurance, utilities,

INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN EXAMPLE:

An investor is willing to spend € 2,800 to obtain the following cash flows:

Year 1 € 100

Year 2 € 200

Year 3 € 3,700

What is the IRR?

Answer computed

The flow of funds would be

Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3

Cash Flow (€ 2800) € 100 € 200 € 3,700

When doing the calculation make sure the sign of each reflects whether the payment is an inflow or out flow. Since the mathematical formula to compute the internal rate of return (IRR) is complex, a financial calculator with IRR capability should be used.

Answer: IRR = 13.13%

SYNTHETIC LEASES

• DefinedAn operating lease that is structured in a way so that it is not recorded as a liability on the balance sheet. Instead, it is considered to be an expense on the income statement.

Synthetic leases are designed under current accounting rules to achieve off-balance sheet treatment. When structured as intended, neither the asset nor the liability appear on the lessee’s balance sheet and lease payments are classified as operating expenses. Return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), interest-coverage ratios and leveraging ratios (debt to equity) are improved relative to the on-balance sheet alternative.

• PurposeSome companies use it as a financial instrument that gives it the tax benefits of ownership without the accounting burdens of ownership.

Basically, a synthetic lease allows a company to control real estate without being required to show the real estate as an asset on the financial statements.

RETAILER STATEMENTS

• THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT PACKAGE should include a balance sheet and income statement. A statement of changes in financial position may also be included.

• The statements should report a period of at least a full calendar year, unless the store in question has been operating for less than a year.

• It’s desirable that the statements present reports for the prior year, for comparison.

• The statements should be audited – preferably – which means there will be a cover letter from an independent auditor.

• If audited financials are not available, an income tax return can back up the accuracy of the financial statement provided.

• If you’re reviewing a rent relief request, the statements should be for only the store in question. If a national tenant, whoever handles the request may ask for individual store results.

• If you’re assessing the financial performance of a prospective tenant, a national tenant will provide an annual report. A local tenant should provide a balance sheet and an income statement for a comparable business operation or a business plan for a new venture.

CHECKLIST FOR REVIEWING RETAILERS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

• ON THE BALANCE SHEET, check the cash accounts in Assets. Cash should be adequate to cover recurring expenses. Do you believe the tenant has enough cash to pay the landlord, utilities and vendors for merchandise? For how many months?

• Check the net worth (equity). The business should be capitalized adequately to withstand some bad times. Is the equity so small the tenant has nothing to fall back on? Is equity so large that the tenant has enough of its own to weather a rough period without looking to the landlord?

• Calculate some balance sheet ratios: coverage and liquidity.

• ON THE INCOME STATEMENT, check occupancy costs against your records.

• Check sales revenue against sales reported on your records.

• Check the costs of goods sole for reasonableness.

• Review the expenses as if you were the store manager and needed to cut costs.

• If the expenses include advertising, confirm that you have seen or heard the advertising.

• Call a local insurance agent and get a quote for insurance premiums at the tenant’s lease required limits.

• Challenge general and administrative expenses if they exceed 1% of sales.

• Determine how expenses, such as telephone, postage and office supplies compare against the expenses in the mall office.

• Remember to add back depreciation/ amortization in order to approximate cash flow.

• Calculate some income statement ratios: profitability.

CONGRATULATIONS!You have just won a lump sum payment of €1,000,000 from Publishers Family of MagazinesNow that the hoopla has settled down and your relatives and salesmen have stopped calling, you have to decide how to invest this for the next year.

Your two options are:1. Invest in a 5% US Treasury note, or

2. Buy €1,000,000 worth of stock in a start-up firm you read about in your dentist’s office. You think this place has the hottest idea since NetBank and, with a €1,000,000 investment, you could walk away at the end of a year with €2,100,000 if the article is to be believed.

What to do?A) With the US-backed securities being a pretty sure bet, at least for now anyway, you would have a certain €1,050,000 at the end of one year by purchasing a US Treasury note. Your original €1,000,000 plus €50,000 in interest constitutes a 5% return.

B) Having done some research about the start-up company, you estimate their chance of success in the next year to be 50-50. Therefore, the expected value of the stock investment after one year is:

0.50 x €2,100,000 = €1,050,000

Your original €1,000,000 plus €50,000 in interest is a 5% return.

Assume that Pietro Pet Store wants to terminate its lease early. They are paying rent of €2,750, common area maintenance of €600 and real estate tax of €400 = €3,750 monthly and have 72 months remaining on their lease.

It is a “dog” of a space and unlikely to be leased anytime soon. The tenant has offered €100,000 to walk away. How would you evaluate this offer versus continuing to receive rent for the remaining term of the lease?

TIME VALUE OF MONEY

Page 67: ICSC European Retail Property School Shopping Centre Finance · Is the gross income of a property after deduction of all operational expenses, property tax, insurance, utilities,

Answer Computed

1. Calculate the net present value of the lease

Assume that you can invest the lost receipt of rent, CAM and real estate tax (€3,750) at 7%Using a financial calculator,n = number of payments = 72i = annual interest rate = 7%PMT = payment amount = €3,750 The net present value of the lease is €219,954.

2. Calculate the future value of the tenant’s offerThe tenants initial payment would be €100,000 The flows would be €0 for 72 monthsThe future value of the tenant’s offer of € 100,000 at 7% compounded monthly would be €152,010

3. What other considerations should the landlord take into account?1. The difference between market and contract rent for the space2. The number of months the space will not produce income3. The landlord’s accelerated costs, e.g., leasing commissions, construction, tenant

inducements

4. Effect on tenant mix

THE VALUE OF A 1% TURNOVER SALES INCREASE

Mall GLA 20,000 SQUARE METRES (A)

Sales per square meter €6000 (B)

Market rent per sq. Meter €600 (C)

Rent to sales ratio

Market rent €600 = 0.10 (D)

Sales M² €6000

FORMULA:1.Sales per square meter x 1% = 1% sales increase per square meter

€6000 (B) x .01 = €60 (E)

2. Rent to sales ratio x 1% sales increase per square meter = Additional rent per square meter

0.10% (D) x €60 (E) = €6 (F)

3. Additional rent psf x Mall GLA = Potential additional rent

€ 6 (F) x 20,000 (A) = €120,000 (G)

4. Additional rent divided by 10% cap rate = Increased value

€120,000 / 0.10 = €1,200,000

USING MORTGAGE CONSTANTS

Using the mortgage constant, you can calculate the incremental rent necessary to pay

back the additional investment made by providing the tenant with an allowance.

Mortgage Constant = Principle + Interest

Loan Amount

If you borrow €100,000 for 10 years at 10% to provide a tenant allowance what additional

income would need to be earned to pay off the loan.

From the mortgage constant tables, the annual mortgage constant to pay off a loan over

10 years at 10% is 0.1586 and the monthly mortgage constant is 0.013217

To pay off the loan the landlord would need to increase the monthly rent by €100,000 x

0.013217 = €1,322

USING MORTGAGE CONSTANTS

If the landlord leases a new store and offers a €200 per square meter

allowance and is borrowing the money for 10 years at an interest rate of 10%

what additional monthly rent will he need to obtain to pay off the loan.

From the mortgage constant tables, the annual mortgage constant to pay off a

loan over 10 years at 10% is 0.1586 and the monthly mortgage constant is

0.013217.

To pay off the loan the landlord would have to increase the monthly rent by 200

x 0.013217 = 2.64 per sq meter
