Insights

Alexander & Baldwin, Inc.'s reported net income signifies a substantial improvement, jumping from $5.3 million to $20.0 million year-over-year. This rise in profitability is noteworthy for investors as it hints at a strong business performance and potentially reflects an effective strategy and operational efficiency. The reported earnings per share (EPS) of $0.28 also substantially exceed the prior year's $0.07, providing a tangible measure of the company’s financial health for shareholders.

The increase in Funds From Operations (FFO), from $18.6 million to $29.2 million and the raise in full-year guidance suggests a positive outlook on the company's recurring earnings potential, which is especially important for real estate investment considerations since FFO is a key metric for evaluating cash flow in the industry. The growth in Commercial Real Estate (CRE) Same-Store Net Operating Income (NOI) by 4.1% is indicative of effective property management and could signal underlying asset quality. Robust leasing demand and expansion in leased occupancy to 94.0% may be seen by investors as a sign of resilience and potential for stable revenue streams.

The disclosed Comparable new and renewal leasing spreads, showing an increase of 11.8% and 7.2% respectively, reflect a competitive positioning within the market, as these figures suggest A&B’s ability to raise lease rates upon renewal or re-leasing. This is a clear indicator of a strong commercial real estate market in Hawai'i, particularly for retail and industrial spaces which saw notable leasing spread increases.

The strategic focus on high-quality retail and industrial properties, underscored by the construction of a new distribution center in Maui Business Park II, aligns with broader market trends favoring these segments due to the rise of e-commerce and a push for nearshoring and supply chain resilience. This forward-looking strategy may resonate well with investors who are searching for companies with a clear vision in the evolving real estate landscape.

The Company’s debt-to-total market capitalization of 27.7% coupled with a weighted-average interest rate of 4.43% on its debt portfolio positions A&B within a moderate leverage and relatively low interest rate risk profile. The issuance of a $60.0 million unsecured note at 6.09%, which is higher than the average, signals market confidence in the firm's creditworthiness and provides liquidity for upcoming debt maturities.

Moreover, maintaining a Net Debt to Trailing Twelve Months (TTM) Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 3.8 times suggests a balanced approach to leverage that should not excessively burden the company's cash flow, while the reported total liquidity of $469.7 million ensures ample coverage for short-term obligations and potential investments.

HONOLULU, April 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. (NYSE: ALEX) ("A&B" or "Company"), a Hawai'i-based owner, operator and developer of high-quality commercial real estate in Hawai'i, today announced net income available to A&B common shareholders of $20.0 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, and Commercial Real Estate ("CRE") operating profit of $22.0 million for the first quarter of 2024.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES 

The Company uses non-GAAP measures when evaluating operating performance because management believes that they provide additional insight into the Company's and segments' core operating results, and/or the underlying business trends affecting performance on a consistent and comparable basis from period to period. These measures generally are provided to investors as an additional means of evaluating the performance of ongoing core operations. The non-GAAP financial information presented herein should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

NOI and Same-Store NOI

NOI is a non-GAAP measure used internally in evaluating the unlevered performance of the Company's Commercial Real Estate portfolio. Management believes NOI provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only the contract-based income and cash-based expense items that are incurred at the property level. When compared across periods, NOI can be used to determine trends in earnings of the Company's properties as this measure is not affected by non-contract-based revenue (e.g., straight-line lease adjustments required under GAAP); by non-cash expense recognition items (e.g., the impact of depreciation and amortization expense or impairments); or by other income, expenses, gains, or losses that do not directly relate to the Company's ownership and operations of the properties (e.g., indirect selling, general, administrative and other expenses, as well as lease termination income). Management believes the exclusion of these items from operating profit (loss) is useful because the resulting measure captures the contract-based revenue that is realizable (i.e., assuming collectability is deemed probable) and the direct property-related expenses paid or payable in cash that are incurred in operating the Company's Commercial Real Estate portfolio, as well as trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. NOI should not be viewed as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The Company reports NOI and Occupancy on a Same-Store basis, which includes the results of properties that were owned, operated, and stabilized for the entirety of the prior calendar year and current reporting period, year-to-date. Management believes that reporting on a Same-Store basis provides investors with additional information regarding the operating performance of comparable assets separate from other factors (such as the effect of developments, redevelopments, acquisitions or dispositions).

Management believes that FFO serves as a supplemental measure to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP for comparing its performance and operations to those of other REITs because it excludes items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of the Company's operating and financial performance, such as depreciation and amortization related to real estate, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time instead of fluctuating with market conditions, and items that can make periodic or peer analysis more difficult, such as gains and losses from the sale of CRE properties, impairment losses related to CRE properties, and income (loss) from discontinued operations. Management believes that FFO more accurately provides an investor an indication of our ability to incur and service debt, make capital expenditures and fund other needs.

The Company has been executing a simplification strategy to focus on the growth and expansion of its commercial real estate portfolio in Hawai'i by monetizing its legacy assets and operations. The sale of Grace Pacific, LLC and the Company-owned quarry land on Maui in 2023 marked the culmination of the Company's simplification strategy. Although the Company has some remaining legacy assets that will continue to be monetized, investors and analysts now view the Company as a pure-play REIT. In order to enhance comparability to other REITs, the Company will provide an additional performance metric, Adjusted FFO, to further adjust FFO to exclude the effects of certain items not related to ongoing property operations. Management believes Adjusted FFO is a widely recognized measure of the property operations of REITs and may be more useful than FFO in evaluating the operating performance of the Company's properties over the long term, as well as enabling investors and analysts to assess performance in comparison to other real estate companies  

FFO and Adjusted FFO do not represent alternatives to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as more prominent measures of performance than net income (loss) or cash flows from operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, FFO and Adjusted FFO do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, nor should they be used as measures of the Company's liquidity, or cash available to fund the Company's needs or pay distributions. FFO and Adjusted FFO should be considered only as supplements to net income as a measure of the Company's performance.

The Company presents both non-GAAP measures and reconciles FFO to the most directly-comparable GAAP measure, Net Income (Loss) available to A&B common shareholders, and FFO to Adjusted FFO. The Company's FFO and Adjusted FFO may not be comparable to such metrics reported by other REITs due to possible differences in the interpretation of the current Nareit definition used by such REITs.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

The Company may report various forms of EBITDA (e.g. Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, and Land Operations EBITDA) as non-GAAP measures used by the Company in evaluating the segments' and Company's operating performance on a consistent and comparable basis from period to period. The Company provides this information to investors as an additional means of evaluating the performance of the segments' and Company's ongoing operations.

The Company also adjusts Consolidated EBITDA to arrive at Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for items identified as non-recurring, infrequent or unusual that are not expected to recur in the segment's normal operations (or in the Company's core business).

As an illustrative example, the Company identified non-cash impairment as non-recurring, infrequent or unusual items that are not expected to recur in the consolidated or segment's normal operations. By excluding these items from Consolidated EBITDA to arrive at Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, the Company believes it provides meaningful supplemental information about its operating performance and facilitates comparisons to historical operating results. Such non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
