Item
7.01
Regulation FD Disclosure
On May 15, 2009, Inland Real Estate Corporation (the “Company”) completed an underwritten public offering of 17,134,700 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share. The shares were issued and sold by the Company at a public offering price of $6.50 per share. The number of shares issued and sold includes 1,134,700 shares issued and sold pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters.
The Company hereby updates its guidance for funds from operations (“FFO”) per share based solely on the inclusion of the shares issued in connection with the closing of the Company’s public offering of common stock on May 15, including the shares issued and sold pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option. Based on the Company’s current view of existing market conditions, the terms and size of the offering, and certain current assumptions and estimates, the Company's updated guidance for FFO per share is $1.05 to $1.18, which is $0.15 to $0.17 lower than guidance previously issued in its press release dated May 6, 2009, furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, as furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 6, 2009.
Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) has promulgated a standard known as FFO, which it believes more accurately reflects the operating performance of a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) such as the Company. The Company considers FFO a widely accepted and appropriate measure of performance for a REIT and has adopted the NAREIT definition for computing FFO. As defined by NAREIT, FFO means net income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of operating property, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnership and joint ventures in which the REIT holds an interest. The calculation of FFO may vary from entity to entity since capitalization and expense policies tend to vary from entity to entity. Items that are capitalized do not impact FFO whereas items that are expensed reduce FFO. Consequently, the Company’s presentation of FFO may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other REITs. FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by U.S. GAAP, it is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs and liquidity, including the Company’s ability to pay distributions, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for purposes of evaluating the Company’s operating performance.
The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s guidance range for 2009 of FFO per share to earnings per share, taking into account the issuance of 17,134,700 shares on Friday, May 15:
