Insights

Financial Analyst

Acadia Realty Trust's Q2 2024 results demonstrate solid performance, particularly in their core street retail portfolio. The 5.5% same-property NOI growth, driven by a 12% increase in the Street Portfolio, indicates strong demand for prime retail locations. This growth, coupled with impressive GAAP and cash rent spreads of 82% and 55% respectively, suggests Acadia's properties are well-positioned in high-demand areas.

The company's FFO Before Special Items of $0.31 per share, while down from $0.36 in Q2 2023, includes $0.03 per share in realized investment gains. Excluding these gains, the core business performance appears stable. The increase in guidance for full-year 2024 FFO Before Special Items to $1.26-$1.32 per share reflects management's confidence in continued strong performance.

Acadia's balance sheet management is noteworthy. The inaugural $100 million private placement of unsecured notes and the extension and expansion of their $750 million unsecured credit facility demonstrate access to diverse funding sources. The improvement in Core Net Debt-to-EBITDA to 5.8x from 6.1x quarter-over-quarter shows a commitment to maintaining a healthy balance sheet.

The 5.6% increase in quarterly dividend to $0.19 per share signals management's confidence in sustained cash flow growth. However, investors should monitor the impact of rising interest rates on future borrowing costs, as well as potential shifts in retail trends that could affect tenant demand.

Real Estate Market Analyst

Acadia's Q2 results reflect the resilience and potential of well-located retail properties, particularly in urban street retail settings. The 12% growth in the Street Portfolio underscores the value of prime locations in major cities, even as the retail landscape continues to evolve post-pandemic.

The company's strategic focus on high-quality street and open-air retail properties in dynamic corridors is paying off, as evidenced by the strong leasing spreads. The 82% GAAP and 55% cash spreads on new leases, driven by activity in Chicago and Washington, D.C., indicate robust demand for these locations and Acadia's ability to capture significant rent increases.

The increase in the Core Signed Not Open (SNO) pipeline to $8.1 million of annualized base rent, representing about 6% of in-place rents, suggests a healthy pipeline for future revenue growth. This, combined with the 94.8% leased rate of the Core Portfolio, points to strong occupancy and demand for Acadia's properties.

Acadia's recent and pending acquisitions, including the strategic funding in Georgetown and potential purchases in Manhattan and Brooklyn, demonstrate a focus on expanding in key urban markets. These moves could further strengthen Acadia's position in high-value retail corridors.

However, it's important to note the potential risks in the broader retail real estate market, including the ongoing impact of e-commerce and changing consumer behaviors. Acadia's focus on prime locations and open-air formats may provide some insulation from these trends, but continued adaptation will be important for long-term success.

TRANSACTIONAL ACTIVITY

Core Portfolio Acquisitions

• Georgetown, Washington, D.C. During the second quarter, the Company strategically funded a $7.6 million advance to one of its partners in the Georgetown Renaissance Collection, in which the Company currently owns a 20% interest. This advance is secured by the partner's 10.8% interest in Renaissance and provides the Company with the near-term possibility to increase its ownership while also strategically positioning the Company to even further consolidate its ownership interest in Renaissance in the future. The Georgetown Renaissance Collection is a high-end retail portfolio consisting of over 318,000 square feet across 20 buildings in Washington, D.C.'s Georgetown neighborhood.
• Manhattan and Brooklyn, New York. The Company is in advanced stages of negotiations to acquire retail portfolios in Manhattan and Brooklyn. The aggregate purchase price of these portfolios is approximately $75 million and is expected to be day one earnings accretive with the opportunity for positive mark-to-market rent adjustments going forward.

Investment Management Acquisitions

• Shops at Grand Avenue, Queens, New York. As previously announced, in May 2024, the Company formed a strategic relationship with J.P. Morgan Asset Management ("JPM") to pursue the acquisition of retail assets, including assets owned by the Company. This venture commenced with the Company selling a 95% interest in Shops at Grand, a grocery-anchored shopping center, to J.P. Morgan Real Estate Income Trust, Inc., which is externally advised and sponsored by J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc., in a transaction which valued the asset at $48 million, exclusive of transaction costs. The Company retained a 5% interest and will continue to manage day-to-day operations entitling it to earn management, leasing, and construction fees along with the opportunity to earn a promote upon the ultimate disposition of the asset.
• The Walk at Highwoods Preserve, Tampa, Florida. In July 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of a property for $30.7 million, inclusive of transaction costs, within its Investment Management platform. This 141,000 square foot open-air shopping center is anchored by Home Goods and Michaels. Acadia is in active negotiations to bring in a strategic institutional investor to complete the capitalization of this property.

The above-mentioned pending Core and Investment Management transactions are subject to final agreement between the parties, customary closing conditions and market uncertainty. Thus, no assurances can be given that the Company will successfully close on any of these transactions on the anticipated timeline or at all.

Investment Management Dispositions

• Fund IV and Fund V. During the second quarter, Fund IV completed the disposition of two street retail assets at 2207 & 2208-2216 Fillmore, located in San Francisco, California for $14.1 million and repaid the mortgage of $6.4 million. Fund IV also completed the disposition of the Paramus Plaza asset located in Paramus, New Jersey for $36.8 million and repaid the $27.9 million mortgage. In June 2024, the Company completed the sale of an outparcel at Canton Marketplace, a Fund V asset, for $2.2 million.

BALANCE SHEET

• $100 Million of Private Unsecured Notes: On July 30, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with an institutional investor for the Company's inaugural private placement offering of unsecured notes, pursuant to which the Company would sell $100 million of senior unsecured notes comprised of an $80 million and $20 million note with a five- and three- year term, respectively. The five-year and three-year notes will bear interest at fixed annual rates of 5.94% and 5.86%, respectively, based on credit spreads of 150 and 125 basis points over the five- and three- year U.S. Treasury bonds as of the date of pricing (May 21, 2024), respectively. The notes are expected to be funded during the third quarter of 2024, subject to customary closing conditions. Thus, no assurance can be given that the Company will successfully close on the transaction.
• Extension and Expansion of $750 Million Unsecured Credit Facility: Completed in April 2024, the new four-year term extended the maturity to 2028 (with two additional six-month extension options to 2029) and was increased by $50 million. The facility was oversubscribed, maintained the pricing spread and improved its financial covenant package.
• Equity Activity: Raised gross proceeds of $28.8 million during the second quarter of 2024 from the sale of approximately 1.7 million shares through the Company's at-the-market issuance program using the proceeds to accretively de-leverage the balance sheet and match-fund accretive investment transactions.
• No Significant Core Debt Maturities until 2027 and Limited Interest Rate Exposure: 4.0%, 0.2%, and 6.1% of Core debt maturing in 2024, 2025 and 2026, respectively. At June 30, 2024, the Company had $827 million of Core notional swap agreements with various maturities through 2030 that provide virtually no base interest rate exposure within the Core Portfolio until 2027.
• Debt-to-EBITDA Metrics: Core Net Debt-to-EBITDA improved to 5.8x at June 30, 2024 from 6.1x at March 31, 2024. Refer to the second quarter 2024 Supplemental Information package for reconciliations and details on financial ratios.

ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Financial Highlights:

1. For additional information and analysis concerning the Company’s balance sheet and results of operations, reference is made to the Company’s quarterly supplemental disclosures for the relevant periods furnished on the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and on the Company’s website at www.acadiarealty.com.

2. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares of the Company were exercised or converted into common shares. The effect of the conversion of units of limited partnership interest (“OP Units”) in Acadia Realty Limited Partnership, the operating partnership of the Company (the “Operating Partnership”), is not reflected in the above table; OP Units are exchangeable into common shares on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such OP units is allocated on the same basis and reflected as noncontrolling interests in the consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these OP Units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share.

3. The Company considers funds from operations (“FFO”) as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) and net property operating income (“NOI”) to be appropriate supplemental disclosures of operating performance for an equity REIT due to their widespread acceptance and use within the REIT and analyst communities. In addition, the Company believes that given the atypical nature of certain unusual items (as further described below), “FFO Before Special Items” is also an appropriate supplemental disclosure of operating performance. FFO, FFO Before Special Items and NOI are presented to assist investors in analyzing the performance of the Company. The Company believes they are helpful as they exclude various items included in net income (loss) that are not indicative of operating performance, such as (i) gains (losses) from sales of real estate properties; (ii) depreciation and amortization and (iii) impairment of depreciable real estate properties. In addition, NOI excludes interest expense and FFO Before Special Items excludes certain unusual items (as further described below). The Company’s method of calculating FFO, FFO Before Special Items and NOI may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Neither FFO nor FFO Before Special Items represent cash generated from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), or are indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. Such measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) for the purpose of evaluating the Company’s performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

1. Consistent with the NAREIT definition, the Company defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding:
   1. gains (losses) from sales of real estate properties;
   2. depreciation and amortization;
   3. impairment of real estate properties;
   4. gains and losses from change in control; and
   5. after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
2. Also consistent with NAREIT’s definition of FFO, the Company has elected to include: the impact of the unrealized holding gains (losses) incidental to its main business, including those related to its RCP investments such as Albertsons in FFO.
3. FFO Before Special Items begins with the NAREIT definition of FFO and adjusts FFO (or as an adjustment to the numerator within its earnings per share calculations) to take into account FFO without regard to certain unusual items including:
   1. charges, income and gains that management believes are not comparable and indicative of the results of the Company’s operating real estate portfolio;
   2. the impact of the unrealized holding gains (losses) incidental to its main business, including those related to its Retailer Controlled Property Venture ("RCP") investments such as Albertsons; and
   3. any realized income or gains from the Company’s investment in Albertsons.

4. The Company defines Special Items to include (i) unrealized holding losses or gains (net of noncontrolling interest share) on investments and (ii) other costs that do not occur in the ordinary course of our underwriting and investing business.

5. The pro-rata share of NOI is based upon the Operating Partnership’s stated ownership percentages in each venture or Investment Management’s operating agreement and does not include the Operating Partnership's share of NOI from unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures within Investment Management.
