Whitestone Overview
Whitestone acquires, owns, manages, develops and redevelops high quality “Ecommerce-resistant” neighborhood, community and lifestyle retail centers principally located in the largest, fastest-growing and most affluent markets in the Sunbelt.  Whitestone’s optimal mix of national, regional and local tenants provide daily necessities, needed services and entertainment to the community which are not readily available online.

CEO Comments
“We are pleased to deliver another quarter of profitable growth, driven by our innovative ‘Ecommerce-resistant’ business model,” stated Jim Mastandrea, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  “This quarter marks our 24th consecutive quarter of revenue and NOI growth, and our 25th consecutive quarter of FFO Core growth, on a year-over-year basis.  Operationally, we completed two acquisitions in which we utilized OP units priced at $19.00 per unit, which represents a premium of over 40% on Friday's closing stock price.  We also made progress on our major development projects and our leasing efforts remained aggressive and focused.  I’m confident that our unique business model, quality portfolio of ideally-located properties and optimal mix of tenants providing goods and services not readily available online will continue to drive profitable growth and shareholder value.”

Real Estate Portfolio Update

Leasing Activity:
During the third quarter, the leasing team signed 113 leases totaling 269,754 square feet in new, expansion and renewal leases, compared to 111 leases totaling 244,527 square feet in the third quarter of 2015.  The total lease value added during the quarter was $16.3 million compared to $18.3 million during the same period last year.

The Company's total and retail properties occupancy stood at 87.3% and 89.6%, respectively, at quarter end.

Community Centered PropertiesTM Portfolio Statistics:
As of September 30, 2016, Whitestone owned 71 Community Centered PropertiesTM with 6.1 million square feet of gross leasable area producing annual NOI of approximately $74 million.  The portfolio is comprised of 43 properties in Texas, 27 in Arizona and one in Illinois.  Whitestone’s Community Centered PropertiesTM are located in Austin (4), San Antonio (3), Dallas-Fort Worth (7), Houston (29) and the greater Phoenix metropolitan area (27).  In addition to being business friendly, these are five of the top markets in the country in terms of size, economic strength and population growth.  Between 2000 and 2014, all of these cities experienced double-digit growth in population, with Austin at +35.8%, San Antonio at +23.4%, Dallas-Fort Worth at +20.5%, Phoenix at +15.8% and Houston at +13.2%.  The Company’s retail properties in these markets are located on the best retail corners embedded in affluent communities.

With its consumer-centric discipline, the Company strives for a tenant mix of “Ecommerce-resistant” national, regional and local tenants at each of its properties that meet the daily needs of the residents living in the surrounding neighborhoods.  At the end of the third quarter, the Company's diversified tenant base was comprised of 1,561 tenants, with the largest tenant accounting for only 3.0% of annualized base rental revenues.  Lease terms range from less than one year for smaller tenants to over 15 years for larger tenants.  The leases generally include minimum monthly lease payments and tenant reimbursements for payment of taxes, insurance and maintenance, and typically exclude restrictive lease clauses.

Acquisition Activity
During the third quarter, Whitestone acquired two upscale retail centers located in Scottsdale, Arizona.  La Mirada and Seville, with 147,209 and 90,042 square feet, respectively, were purchased for a total of approximately $72.5 million, comprised of $60.7 million in cash and 621,053 OP units valued at $19.00 per unit.  La Mirada and Seville were acquired with a combined occupancy rate of 90.1% and an aggregate 7.0% in-place cash-on-cash return on the total purchase price.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Balance Sheet:
Reflecting the Company’s acquisition, development and redevelopment activity during the third quarter, offset somewhat by the sale of a non-core asset in the first quarter, at September 30, 2016, the Company had undepreciated real estate assets of $918.6 million compared to $835.5 million at December 31, 2015.

Liquidity, Debt and Credit Facility:
At September 30, 2016, 52 of the Company’s 71 properties were unencumbered by mortgage debt, with an undepreciated cost basis of $686.9 million.  The Company had total real estate debt of $549.5 million, of which $357.9 million, or approximately 65%, was subject to fixed interest rates.  The Company's weighted average interest rate on all fixed rate debt as of the end of the third quarter was 3.8% and the weighted average remaining term was 5.5 years.

At quarter end, Whitestone had $8.8 million of cash available on its balance sheet and $108.4 million of available capacity under its credit facility, before the $200 million accordion option.

Sale of Securities:
During the third quarter, Whitestone sold approximately 1,084,000 common shares under its ATM program at an average price per share of $15.08.  The Company received net proceeds of approximately $16.1 million after paying fees and commissions.  The net proceeds were used as part of the consideration paid for the two Scottsdale property acquisitions.

Dividend
On September 22, 2016, the Company declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.285 per common share and OP unit for the fourth quarter of 2016, to be paid in three equal installments of $0.095 in October, November and December of 2016.

2016 Guidance
The Company’s net income attributable to Whitestone REIT guidance for 2016 is a range of $0.32 to $0.35 per share.  The Company’s FFO Core guidance for 2016 is a range of $1.34 to $1.37 per share.  This guidance reflects the Board’s and management’s view of current and future market conditions, as well as the earnings impact of events referenced elsewhere in this release and during the Company’s conference call.  This guidance does not include the operational or capital impact of any future unannounced acquisition or disposition activity.  Please refer to the “2016 Financial Guidance” and “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures - 2016 Financial Guidance” sections of the supplemental data package for the full list of guidance information.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this press release constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Company intends for all such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, as applicable. Such information is subject to certain risks and uncertainties, as well as known and unknown risks, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated. Therefore, such statements are not intended to be a guarantee of our performance in future periods. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the Company's use of forward-looking terminology, such as "may," "will," "plan," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "believe," "continue" or similar words or phrases that are predictions of future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters.

The following are some of the factors that could cause the Company's actual results and its expectations to differ materially from those described in the Company's forward-looking statements: the Company's ability to meet its assumptions regarding its earnings guidance, including its ability to execute effectively its acquisition and disposition strategy, to continue to execute its development pipeline on schedule and at the expected costs, and its ability to grow its NOI as expected, which could be impacted by a number of factors, including, among other things, its ability to continue to renew leases or re-let space on attractive terms and to otherwise address its leasing rollover; the Company's ability to successfully identify and consummate suitable acquisitions; the Company’s ability to complete its transition to a pure-play retail REIT in the time frame it expects, or at all; current adverse market and economic conditions; lease terminations or lease defaults; the impact of competition on the Company's efforts to renew existing leases; changes in the economies and other conditions of the specific markets in which the Company operates; economic and regulatory changes; the success of the Company's real estate strategies and investment objectives; the Company's ability to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code; and other factors detailed in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other documents the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release. The Company cannot guarantee the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements contained in this press release, and the Company does not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release contains supplemental financial measures that are not calculated pursuant to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") including FFO, FFO Core, and NOI. Following are explanations and reconciliations of these metrics to their most comparable GAAP metric.

FFO: Management believes that FFO is a useful measure of the Company's operating performance. The Company computes FFO as defined by NAREIT, which states that FFO should represent net income available to common shareholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses from sales of operating assets, impairment charges and extraordinary items, plus depreciation and amortization of operating properties, including the Company's share of unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships. FFO does not represent cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of the Company's performance or to cash flow from operations as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions and service debt.

Management considers FFO a useful additional measure of performance for an equity REIT because it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of its properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management believes that FFO provides a more meaningful and accurate indication of the Company's performance and useful information for the investment community to compare Whitestone to other REITs since FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs.

Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating FFO, and accordingly, the Company's FFO may not be comparable to other REITs. The Company presents FFO per diluted share calculations that are based on the outstanding dilutive common shares plus the outstanding OP units for the periods presented.

FFO Core: Management believes that the computation of FFO in accordance with NAREIT's definition includes certain non-cash and other items that affect the Company's period-over-period performance. These items include, but are not limited to, legal settlements, non-cash share-based compensation expense, rent support agreement payments received from sellers on acquired assets and acquisition costs. In addition, the Company believes that FFO Core is a useful supplemental measure for the investing community to use in comparing the Company to other REITs as many REITs provide some form of adjusted or modified FFO. However, other REITs may use different adjustments, and the Company's FFO Core may not be comparable to the adjusted or modified FFO of other REITs.

NOI: Management believes that NOI is a useful measure of the Company's property operating performance. The Company defines NOI as operating revenues (rental and other revenues) less property and related expenses (property operation and maintenance and real estate taxes). Because NOI excludes general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, involuntary conversion, interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes, gain or loss on sale or disposition of assets and capital expenditures and leasing costs, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating commercial real estate properties and the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. The Company uses NOI to evaluate its operating performance since NOI allows the Company to evaluate the impact of factors, such as occupancy levels, lease structure, lease rates and tenant base, have on the Company's results, margins and returns. In addition, management believes that NOI provides useful information to the investment community about the Company's property and operating performance when compared to other REITs since NOI is generally recognized as a standard measure of property performance in the real estate industry. However, NOI should not be viewed as a measure of the Company's overall financial performance since it does not reflect general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, involuntary conversion, interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes, gain or loss on sale or disposition of assets, and the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of the Company's properties. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, the Company's NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs.
