Insights

Alexander & Baldwin's Q2 2024 results show a mixed performance with some positive indicators. The company reported $9.1 million in net income, or $0.13 per diluted share, which is lower than the $13.3 million and $0.18 per share in Q2 2023. However, income from continuing operations increased slightly to $11.7 million from $10.8 million year-over-year.

The company's core business, Commercial Real Estate (CRE), showed resilience with a 0.9% growth in Same-Store Net Operating Income (NOI). This growth reached 1.7% when excluding collections of prior year reserves, indicating underlying strength in their property portfolio. The 7.3% comparable blended leasing spreads for the improved portfolio is a positive sign, suggesting the company's ability to increase rents upon lease renewals or new leases.

A&B's balance sheet appears solid, with a debt-to-total market capitalization of 27.6%, which is generally considered conservative in the REIT sector. The company's move to fully fix the interest rate on its debt is prudent in the current rising interest rate environment, potentially shielding them from future rate hikes.

The increase in full-year guidance for FFO and Adjusted FFO per diluted share is encouraging, reflecting management's confidence in the company's performance for the remainder of 2024. However, investors should note that the CRE Same-Store NOI growth guidance remains relatively modest at 1.25% to 2.25%, which may indicate some caution about the broader economic environment in Hawaii.

Overall, while there are some positive indicators, the mixed results and modest growth projections suggest that A&B is navigating a challenging market environment with cautious optimism.

Alexander & Baldwin's Q2 2024 results provide interesting insights into the Hawaiian commercial real estate market. The 93.9% leased occupancy rate, although slightly down from the previous year, remains strong and indicates robust demand for commercial space in Hawaii. However, the slight decrease in retail occupancy (down 120 basis points year-over-year to 92.8%) might suggest some softening in the retail sector, possibly due to changing consumer behaviors or economic pressures.

Conversely, the industrial portfolio shows strength with occupancy increasing by 120 basis points to 97.1%. This aligns with broader trends we're seeing in many markets where industrial and logistics spaces are in high demand due to e-commerce growth and supply chain reconfigurations.

The 7.3% comparable leasing spreads are particularly noteworthy. Breaking it down, we see 7.7% for retail spaces and 7.6% for industrial spaces. These healthy increases suggest that A&B maintains strong pricing power across its portfolio, despite some occupancy challenges in retail.

The company's investment in a new 29,550-square-foot warehouse and distribution center at Maui Business Park II is a strategic move. Pre-leasing this space before construction begins indicates confidence in the continued demand for industrial properties in Hawaii.

Looking at the broader picture, A&B's performance suggests that Hawaii's commercial real estate market remains resilient, with particular strength in the industrial sector. However, the retail sector may face some headwinds, a trend we're seeing in many markets as the retail landscape continues to evolve post-pandemic.

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).

Funds From Operations and Adjusted Funds From Operations

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.

Net Debt

Net Debt is calculated by adjusting the Company's total debt to its notional amount (by excluding unamortized premium, discount and capitalized loan fees) and by subtracting cash and cash equivalents recorded in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

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.
