Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust Transformed By Cedar Deal

Wheeler recently cut a deal to take over the less-desirable properties from the Cedar Realty Trust liquidation. Despite the lower quality of these locations, they are actually well in line with the broader Wheeler portfolio and provide cash flow the business desperately needs. The opportunity exists to invest alongside Management in the senior notes, which appear poised to profit the most from an eventual sale of the business. The current situation at Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust (WHLR) merits further consideration by investors willing to stomach some volatility and fully apprised of the risks. A brief summary follows: The Players Jon Wheeler - namesake of the business - was ousted after two ugly proxy battles. Joseph Stillwell - at the helm after winning his second proxy attempt. He had the initial misfortune of gaining control as Covid lockdowns began. Steamboat Capital Partners - owns portions of the WHLR capital stack, and has sued over treatment of preferred shareholders. Cedar Reality Trust (CDR) - winding down REIT that has agreed to sell WHLR a portfolio of properties for $130m cash and the assumption of CDR preferred shares. The sale is expected to close in the coming 2-4 weeks. Legacy WHLR Overview The legacy business had the following results in FY21: WHLR Investor Presentation $41.7m NOI, $6.8m Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) Cap structure summary and new CDR acquisition pieces: $130m KeyBank bridge loan to WHLR, CDR B/C preferred ($161m face) Base rent has averaged ~77.5% of WHLR revenues over the past five fiscal years, and with 94% of properties rented at $9.62 for FY21, I therefore estimate Wheeler will earn ~$64m of FY22 revenue vs $60.4m in FY21. Support below: Author calculations from WHLR 10-K's Q1-22 results were $15.5m of revenue (vs $14.7 in Q1-21), $10.2m NOI (vs $9.8m), and $2.3m of AFFO (vs $1.2m), so results appear on track. WHLR Investor Presentation CDR Acquisition Overview CDR Transaction Proxy Author summary from CDR FY21 10-K New WHLR Pro-Forma So how does this transaction change the complexion of Wheeler? Prior to the deal, WHLR has 5.5m leasable square feet with $9.62 average base rent. The acquisition will increase their square footage by around 50% and add slightly higher rents on a lower occupancy base. The CDR properties included in the transaction were about 28% of total CDR base rents and 38% of square footage. This equates to ~$36m of FY22 revenues on the acquired properties (28% of CDR's $127.6m FY21 total revenues) and doesn't assume any new leases for FY22. The pro-forma combined cashflow could look something like this: ~$100m revenue $33m property operations ($13m from CDR's 28% of operating expenses, $20m run rate for WHLR) $10m corporate overhead (~$6m run rate for WHLR, assume $4m increase from CDR, some could be non-cash and synergies could improve this number) $23m cash interest expense (5% estimate on $452m pro-forma debt below) $10m Capex ($28m total FY21 for CDR of which 28% is ~$8m, $1.1m for WHLR for "recurring Capex" in FY21) No Taxes

Take A Shower After Reading The Wheeler/Cedar Merger

While seemingly beneficial to Cedar common the merger was a bit dirty. Preferred shareholders have had their collateral stripped out from under them. Each company has a complex capital stack with each section having a different benefit or harm from the M&A.  Invest cautiously.

Cedar Realty Trust: Recent Upside Driven By Speculation

Cedar Realty Trust remains a mediocre company, with shares not trading any better than at the fair value level. Cedar Realty does have potential if it can turn around, but we haven't seen concrete data supporting this possibility. Recent upside in CDR stock has been driven by speculation that may or may not come to fruition.

Cedar Realty Trust: A Mediocre Prospect At A Low Price

Cedar Realty Trust has achieved only mediocre performance for investors over the past few years. The pandemic negatively affected the company, but its financial performance is not bad. In fact, while debt is high, shares are cheap and might offer upside. Of course, this upside does come with corresponding risk.
