U.S. Equity REIT Liquidity Update:
Hold the Applause
Analysts Overview
Steven Marks Fitch Ratings believes the maintenance of sufficient liquidity represents the primary
+1 212 908-9161 credit risk to U.S. equity REITs despite recent opportunistic actions to reduce financial
steven.marks@fitchratings.com pressures. Challenges remain, including:

applause” on REIT liquidity and highlights the following challenges.
 Criteria for Rating U.S. Equity
REITs, Aug. 9, 2007  Likely Reduced Revolving Credit Facility Commitments: Most REITs’ unsecured
revolving credit facilities mature beyond Dec. 31, 2010. Within the tables on page
47, Fitch has reduced the borrowing capacity under revolving lines of credit by
33% for REITs that have revolving lines of credit that mature before Dec. 31, 2010
after taking into account extension options for illustrative purposes. This capacity
reduction reflects a “what if” scenario for certain REITs as revolving credit facility
maturities approach. While a limited number of REITs have either recently
extended or increased the borrowing capacity under such revolving facilities, Fitch
believes that many of these facilities will be reduced in size. For its rated
universe, Fitch does not believe that many of these facilities will be converted
from unsecured to secured given the strong lending relationships most of these

Financial Institutions
issuers have with their banking groups. That said, for weaker issuers across the
equity REIT universe, the prevalence of secured credit facilities will likely increase
given banks’ limited capital and concerns regarding borrower credit.
 Limited Unsecured Bond Issuances: Recent unsecured bond issuances do not
constitute a panacea for REIT liquidity, as the unsecured bond market remains
unattractive to most equity REITs. Credit spreads have tightened, but indicative
pricing across the industry remains unattractive to many companies, particularly
relative to secured debt.
 Near-Dormant CMBS Market: Liquidity remains weak in certain areas such as
secured funding in the commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) market.
Although the inclusion of legacy CMBS for eligibility under the Federal Reserve’s
Term Asset Backed Securities Loan Facility beginning in July may play a role in the
restoration of investor confidence in commercial real estate, CMBS issuance
volumes are highly unlikely to be restored to pre-2008 levels.
 Reduced Bond Tender Activity: While $2.8 billion in bond tender offers executed year
to date have allowed companies to reduce uses of liquidity, such transactions have
been a byproduct of bonds trading at discounts to par, which have included securities
issued by REITs with below-investment-grade issuer default ratings (IDRs). Spreads have
tightened recently, shrinking the arbitrage opportunity bond tenders present.
 Uncertain Common Equity Issuance: With $12.4 billion in new equity raised year
to date by REITs, the re-equitization wave has enabled REITs to strengthen their
capital bases. However, investor demand may be driven in part by low share prices
relative to net asset values, while share prices of certain other equity REITs are
such that prospective equity issuances are unlikely.

Encouraging Signs Are Not Ubiquitous


Year to date, 18 REITs have launched tender offers to repurchase approximately $7.0 billion
of outstanding bonds and have tendered for approximately $3.1 billion of securities. Many
REITs that have launched tender offers have IDRs in the ‘BBB’ rating category. Fitch’s ratings
for REITs that have launched tender offers range widely, from Public Storage (which has an
IDR of ‘A’ by Fitch, with a Stable Rating Outlook) to Centro NP LLC (which has an IDR of
‘CCC’ by Fitch, with a Negative Rating Outlook). Fitch views consummated tender offers as
encouraging in that they demonstrate REITs’ ability to reduce their future funding
obligations and temporarily reduce cash interest expense by utilizing low-cost unsecured
lines of credit. Such tender offers have been affected by REITs with capacity under their
credit facilities. REITs that have not executed tender offers may have limited liquidity to
launch tender offers, while others have shorter tem funding needs to address.
Similarly, the equity issuance wave has been encouraging for REIT liquidity, as year to
date, 38 REITs have raised an aggregate of approximately $12.8 billion in proceeds.
With certain companies reluctant to issue at these prices due to resultant dilution,
liquidity across the equity markets is not uniformly strong.

Relative Inactivity in Certain Markets Indicates Capital


Remains Constrained
Year to date in 2009, $18.2 billion in CMBS have been issued but approximately
$18.1 billion of these securities were non-U.S. CMBS transactions. Insurance
companies have also reduced primary market commercial mortgage originations.
With respect to unsecured bond issuances, four REITs have issued $2.55 billion in five
unsecured notes transactions year to date, compared with seven transactions aggregating

Financial Institutions
$4.6 billion issued by six REITs in 2008. Discounts to yield declined following Simon Property
Group, L.P.’s $650 million 10-year 10.35% note issuance on March 20, 2009 priced to yield
10.75% (rated ‘A’ by Fitch, with a Stable Rating Outlook). For example, on May 26, 2009
WEA Finance LLC, an affiliate of The Westfield Group, issued $700 million five-year 7.5%
notes priced to yield 7.75% (rated ‘A’ by Fitch, with a Stable Rating Outlook). However,
credit spreads remain high across the REIT sector, ranging from approximately 400800
basis points over 10-year treasury notes for many investment-grade-rated issuers. In Fitch’s
view, the five unsecured bond transactions year to date do not yet constitute a broader
trend to indicate that the unsecured bond market has reached a market-clearing level.
As noted in Fitch’s April 2, 2009 liquidity study titled “U.S. Equity REIT Liquidity Update:
The Clock is Ticking,” REITs continue to rely principally on the secured debt markets,
unused capacity under bank revolving lines of credit, and retained cash flow to address
near-term unsecured debt maturities. Of the companies in the table on pages 45,
amounts available under bank lines have been reduced to 51.0% of total sources of
liquidity as of March 31, 2009 (after taking into account reductions in revolving line of
credit borrowing capacity for revolving credit facilities that mature before Dec. 31,
2010 after extension options), compared with 64.4% of total sources of liquidity as of
Dec. 31, 2008. Certain companies have used proceeds from recently raised capital to
reduce borrowings under bank lines. However, Fitch remains particularly concerned
with companies that are almost exclusively reliant on bank revolving lines of credit for
unsecured bond maturity takeouts.
In this environment, it has been rare for REITs to both extend and increase the
borrowing capacity under revolving lines of credit. As such, for illustrative purposes,
Fitch has reduced the borrowing capacity under revolving lines of credit by 33% for
REITs that have such revolving line of credit maturities. For other companies,
commitment sizes of revolving credit facilities that mature before Dec. 31, 2010 (after
taking into account extension options) may be reduced. One exception is Ventas, Inc.,
which has an IDR of ‘BBB’ by Fitch, with a Positive Rating Outlook. In March 2009,
Ventas announced it extended and amended its unsecured revolving credit facilities to
April 2012, increasing the total borrowing capacity from $850 million to $867 million.

What the Data Show


There are no “bright lines” regarding mapping the magnitude of the liquidity surplus
or shortfall to a specific IDR. However, a large majority of REITs with investment-
grade IDRs have liquidity surpluses. Additionally, Fitch has added a metric that scales
a company’s liquidity surplus or shortfall based on its size, calculated as the liquidity
surplus or deficit divided by cash flows from operating activities based on a first-
quarter 2009 run rate through Dec. 31, 2010.

Even though 36 REITs in the table on pages 45 have liquidity surpluses and eight have
liquidity shortfalls through Dec. 31, 2010, Fitch anticipates that more REITs will likely
have liquidity deficits starting next quarter, when Fitch will begin to include 2011 debt
maturities in the liquidity calculations. Year to date, Fitch’s rating actions have included
15 downgrades, 16 affirmations, and two upgrades. Certain downgrades have been driven
by weakening liquidity profiles, while further rating downgrades may occur in instances
where liquidity shortfalls become a growing concern. Nevertheless, despite various
challenges, many REITs have taken advantage of opportunities to bolster liquidity.
Given that opportunities are company-specific rather than broad for the sector, Fitch’s
view is to hold the applause on REIT liquidity.

and other sources which Fitch believes to be reliable. Fitch does not audit or verify the truth or accuracy of any such information. As a result, the
information in this report is provided “as is” without any representation or warranty of any kind. A Fitch rating is an opinion as to the
creditworthiness of a security. The rating does not address the risk of loss due to risks other than credit risk, unless such risk is specifically
mentioned. Fitch is not engaged in the offer or sale of any security. A report providing a Fitch rating is neither a prospectus nor a substitute for the
information assembled, verified and presented to investors by the issuer and its agents in connection with the sale of the securities. Ratings may be
changed, suspended, or withdrawn at anytime for any reason in the sole discretion of Fitch. Fitch does not provide investment advice of any sort.
Ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security. Ratings do not comment on the adequacy of market price, the suitability of
any security for a particular investor, or the tax-exempt nature or taxability of payments made in respect to any security. Fitch receives fees from
issuers, insurers, guarantors, other obligors, and underwriters for rating securities. Such fees generally vary from USD1,000 to USD750,000 (or the
applicable currency equivalent) per issue. In certain cases, Fitch will rate all or a number of issues issued by a particular issuer, or insured or
guaranteed by a particular insurer or guarantor, for a single annual fee. Such fees are expected to vary from USD10,000 to USD1,500,000 (or the
applicable currency equivalent). The assignment, publication, or dissemination of a rating by Fitch shall not constitute a consent by Fitch to use its
name as an expert in connection with any registration statement filed under the United States securities laws, the Financial Services and Markets
Act of 2000 of Great Britain, or the securities laws of any particular jurisdiction. Due to the relative efficiency of electronic publishing and
distribution, Fitch research may be available to electronic subscribers up to three days earlier than to print subscribers.
