Omaha, Nebraska – On February 23, 2023, Greystone Housing Impact Investors LP (NYSE: GHI) (the “Partnership”) announced financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022.

 

Financial Highlights

 

The Partnership reported the following results as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2022:

Net income of $0.09 per Beneficial Unit Certificate (“BUC”), basic and diluted
Cash Available for Distribution (“CAD”) of $0.15 per BUC

CAD of $2.37 per BUC

 

In December 2022, the Partnership announced that the Board of Managers of Greystone AF Manager LLC declared a distribution to the Partnership's BUC holders of $0.67 per BUC. The distribution consisted of a regular quarterly distribution of $0.37 per BUC, a supplemental cash distribution of $0.10 per BUC, and a supplemental distribution payable in the form of additional BUCs equal in value to $0.20 per BUC. The supplemental distribution of additional BUCs was paid at a ratio of 0.0105 BUCs for each issued and outstanding BUC as of the record date. The regular cash and supplemental distributions were paid on January 31, 2023, to BUC holders of record as of the close of trading on December 30, 2022.

 

 

 


 

Management Remarks

 

“Our 2022 results were very strong,” said Kenneth C. Rogozinski, the Partnership’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our high levels of net income and CAD resulted in significant distributions to our BUC holders in 2022 through regular quarterly cash distributions and supplemental distributions paid in cash and additional BUCs. The total 2022 distributions to our BUC holders were at the Partnership’s highest level in 20 years.”

 

“We are also well positioned to invest in additional mortgage revenue bonds, governmental issuer loans and joint venture equity investments at accretive returns to our unitholders,” said Rogozinski.

The Partnership reported the following notable transactions during the fourth quarter of 2022:

The joint venture equity investment is with a new developer partner that is an experienced seniors housing developer and operator.
Issued 1,500,000 Series A-1 Preferred Units to a financial institution with an aggregate stated value of $15.0 million, of which 700,000 Series A-1 Preferred Units were issued in exchange for 700,000 outstanding Series A Preferred Units held by the financial institution and 800,000 Series A-1 Preferred Units were issued pursuant to an additional investment by the same financial institution.

Safe Harbor Statement

 

Certain statements in this press release are intended to be covered by the safe harbor for “forward-looking statements” provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by use of statements that include, but are not limited to, phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “future,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “foresee,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “estimates,” “potential,” “continue,” or other similar words or phrases. Similarly, statements that describe objectives, plans, or goals also are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond the control of the Partnership. The Partnership cautions readers that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, implied, or projected by such forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: defaults on the mortgage loans securing our mortgage revenue bonds and governmental issuer loans; the competitive environment in which the Partnership operates; risks associated with investing in multifamily, student, senior citizen residential properties and commercial properties; general economic, geopolitical, and financial conditions, including the current and future impact of changing interest rates, inflation, and international conflicts on business operations, employment, and financial conditions; uncertain conditions within the domestic and international macroeconomic environment, including monetary and fiscal policy and conditions in the investment, credit, interest rate, and derivatives markets; adverse reactions in U.S. financial markets related to actions of foreign central banks or the economic performance of foreign economies, including in particular China, Japan, the European Union, and the United Kingdom; the general condition of the real estate markets in the regions in which we operate, which may be unfavorably impacted by increases in mortgage interest rates, slowing economic growth, persistent elevated inflation levels, and other factors; changes in interest rates and credit spreads, as well as the success of any hedging strategies the Partnership may undertake in relation to such changes, and the effect such changes may have on the relative spreads between the yield on investments and cost of financing; persistent inflationary trends, spurred by multiple factors including expansionary monetary and fiscal policy, higher commodity prices, a tight labor market, and low residential vacancy rates, which may result in further interest rate increases and lead to increased market volatility; the Partnership’s ability to access debt and equity capital to finance its assets; current maturities of the Partnership’s financing arrangements and the Partnership’s ability to renew or refinance such financing arrangements; potential exercising of redemption rights by the holders of the Series A Preferred Units; local, regional, national and international economic and credit market conditions; recapture of previously issued Low Income Housing Tax Credits in accordance with Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code; geographic concentration of properties related to investments held by the Partnership; changes in the U.S. corporate tax code and other government regulations affecting the Partnership’s business; and the other risks detailed in the Partnership’s SEC filings (including but not limited to, the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K). Readers are urged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements.

 

If any of these risks or uncertainties materializes or if any of the assumptions underlying such forward-looking statements proves to be incorrect, the developments and future events concerning the Partnership set forth in this press release may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these statements, which speak only as of the date of this document.

* On April 1, 2022, the Partnership effected a one-for-three reverse unit split of its outstanding BUCs (the “Reverse Unit Split”). On October 31, 2022, the Partnership completed a distribution in the form of additional BUCs at a ratio of 0.01044 BUCs for each BUC outstanding as of September 30, 2022 (the “Third Quarter BUCs Distribution”). On January 31, 2023, the Partnership completed a distribution in the form of additional BUCs at a ratio of 0.0105 BUCs for each BUC outstanding as of December 30, 2022 (the “Fourth Quarter BUCs Distribution”, collectively with the Third Quarter BUCs Distribution, the “BUCs Distributions”). The amounts indicated in the Consolidated Statements of Operations have been adjusted to reflect both the Reverse Unit Split and the BUCs Distributions on a retroactive basis.

 

 

 


 

Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Measures - Cash Available for Distribution

 

This document refers to Cash Available for Distribution (“CAD”), which is identified as a non-GAAP financial measure. The Partnership believes CAD provides relevant information about our operations and is necessary, along with net income, for understanding its operating results. To calculate CAD, the Partnership begins with net income as computed in accordance with GAAP and adjusts for non-cash expenses or income consisting of depreciation expense, amortization expense related to deferred financing costs, amortization of premiums and discounts, fair value adjustments to derivative instruments, provisions for credit and loan losses, impairments on MRBs, GILs, real estate assets and property loans, deferred income tax expense (benefit) and restricted unit compensation expense. The Partnership also deducts Tier 2 income distributable to the General Partner as defined in the Partnership Agreement and distributions and accretion for the Preferred Units. Net income is the GAAP measure most comparable to CAD. There is no generally accepted methodology for computing CAD, and the Partnership’s computation of CAD may not be comparable to CAD reported by other companies. Although the Partnership considers CAD to be a useful measure of our operating performance, CAD is a non-GAAP measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net income that is calculated in accordance with GAAP, or any other measures of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

 

 

 


 

The following table shows the calculation of CAD (and a reconciliation of the Partnership’s net income, as determined in accordance with GAAP, to CAD) for the three months and years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (all per BUC amounts are presented giving effect to the one-for-three Reverse Unit Split and the BUCs Distributions on a retroactive basis for all periods presented):
