Insights

Financial Analyst

Brandywine Realty Trust's Q3 2024 results reveal a mixed financial picture. The company reported a significant net loss of $165.5 million ($0.96 per share), largely due to non-cash impairment charges of $161.4 million. However, Funds from Operations (FFO) remained positive at $39.8 million ($0.23 per diluted share), though down from $50.6 million in Q3 2023.

Key financial metrics show some concerning trends:

• Core portfolio occupancy decreased to 87.2% from 89.0% year-over-year
• Same-store NOI decreased 2.0% on an accrual basis
• Tenant retention rate was low at 42% with negative absorption

On the positive side, rental rate growth was strong at 14.9% on an accrual basis. The company also completed a $65.5 million asset sale, demonstrating progress on its capital recycling strategy. However, the removal of land sales from the 2024 business plan and the narrowing of FFO guidance to $0.89-$0.92 per share suggest some headwinds in the near term.

Real Estate Market Analyst

Brandywine's Q3 results reflect the ongoing challenges in the office real estate sector. The 87.2% occupancy rate, while concerning, is not atypical given current market conditions. The company's focus on increasing its speculative revenue target and tenant retention rate shows proactive management in a difficult environment.

The 14.9% rental rate growth on new leases is a bright spot, indicating that despite lower occupancy, Brandywine can still command premium rates for its properties. This suggests that the quality and location of their assets remain attractive to tenants.

The increased asset sales target from $90 million to $150 million at midpoint demonstrates a strategic shift towards portfolio optimization. However, the removal of land sales from the 2024 plan indicates a softening in the development market, which could impact long-term growth prospects.

The joint venture activity, particularly the increased stake in Commerce Square, shows Brandywine's commitment to core assets, but the associated impairment charge highlights the valuation pressures in the current market. Overall, Brandywine is navigating a challenging market with a mix of defensive and opportunistic strategies.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brandywine Realty Trust (NYSE:BDN) today reported its financial and operating results for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024.

Management Comments

“During the third quarter we made strong progress on our 2024 business plan highlighted by exceeding many of our targets and for the second consecutive quarter raising both our speculative revenue target and our annual tenant retention rate,” stated Gerard H. Sweeney, President and Chief Executive Officer for Brandywine Realty Trust.  “Based on our 2024 leasing activity, we are raising our speculative revenue target to $26.3 million and this revised target is 100% achieved and represents a 7% increase over our original business plan. In addition, we increased our annual tenant retention rate by 3.0% placing us over 10 percentage points above our original 2024 business plan target. Turning to the capital markets, we made progress on our asset sales target by selling an office portfolio in the Pennsylvania suburbs for $65.5 million and, at the midpoint, we have raised our 2024 asset sales target from $90 million to $150 million. Despite continued improvement in the real estate sales market, we are removing land sales from our 2024 business plan that were projected to generate approximately $5.0 million of earnings, or $0.03 per share. Based on the changes made to our 2024 business plan we are adjusting and further narrowing our FFO range from $0.91 to $0.96 per share to $0.89 to $0.92 per share.”

Third Quarter Highlights

Financial Results

• Net loss available to common shareholders: $(165.5) million, or $(0.96) per share. Our results include $(161.4) million, or $(0.93) per share, of non-cash impairment charges.
• Funds from Operations (FFO): $39.8 million, or $0.23 per diluted share.

Portfolio Results

• Core Portfolio: 87.2% occupied and 88.7% leased.
• New and Renewal Leases Signed: 298,000 square feet wholly-owned and 558,000 square feet including our joint ventures.

• Same Store Results: Decreased (2.0%) on an accrual basis and increased 1.6% on a cash basis.
  

Disposition Activity

• On September 26, 2024, we completed the sale of five Class-B office properties in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania for a gross sales price of $65.5 million. After closing costs and credits, we received net cash proceeds of $44.1 million and provided seller financing to the buyer. The seller financing totaled $15.5 million and has an initial interest rate of 8.25% and matures in 2034 and is subordinate to a first mortgage. Prior to the sale we recognized an impairment loss of $3.3 million on the properties based upon the executed purchase and sale agreement during the third quarter of 2024.
  

Joint Venture Activity

In connection with the agreed upon transaction, we obtained a 3^rd party appraisal, which resulted in the venture impairing our common equity position down to the appraised value. We recorded a $(116.5) million impairment through its equity in loss of unconsolidated real estate ventures during the third quarter as a result of the impairment. During 2020 when we sold a preferred equity interest in the Commerce Square joint venture, we recognized a net gain on disposition of real estate totaling $271.9 million.

Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such as “will,” “strategy,” “expects,” “seeks,” “believes,” “potential,” or other similar words.

The declaration and payment of future dividends (both timing and amount) is subject to the determination of our Board of Trustees, in its sole discretion, after considering various factors, including our financial condition, historical and forecast operating results, and available cash flow, as well as any applicable laws and contractual covenants and any other relevant factors. Our Board’s practice regarding declaration of dividends may be modified at any time and from time to time.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measures

We compute our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Although FFO and NOI are non-GAAP financial measures, we believe that FFO and NOI calculations are helpful to shareholders and potential investors and are widely recognized measures of real estate investment trust performance. At the end of this press release, we have provided a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Funds from Operations (FFO)

We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than us. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) before non-controlling interests and excluding gains (losses) on sales of depreciable operating property, impairment losses on depreciable consolidated real estate, impairment losses on investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures and extraordinary items (computed in accordance with GAAP); plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), and after similar adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Net income, the GAAP measure that we believe to be most directly comparable to FFO, includes depreciation and amortization expenses, gains or losses on property sales, extraordinary items and non-controlling interests. To facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as presented in the financial statements included elsewhere in this release. FFO does not represent cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our financial performance or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions to shareholders. We generally consider FFO and FFO per share to be useful measures for understanding and comparing our operating results because, by excluding gains and losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, impairment losses and real estate asset depreciation and amortization (which can differ across owners of similar assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates), FFO and FFO per share can help investors compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate across reporting periods and to the operating performance of other companies.

Net Operating Income (NOI)

NOI (accrual basis) is a financial measure equal to net income available to common shareholders, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, plus corporate general and administrative expense, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, non-controlling interest in the Operating Partnership and losses from early extinguishment of debt, less interest income, development and management income, gains from property dispositions, gains on sale from discontinued operations, gains on early extinguishment of debt, income from discontinued operations, income from unconsolidated joint ventures and non-controlling interest in property partnerships. In some cases we also present NOI on a cash basis, which is NOI after eliminating the effects of straight-lining of rent and deferred market intangible amortization. NOI presented by us may not be comparable to NOI reported by other REITs that define NOI differently. NOI should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of the Company's liquidity or its ability to make distributions. We believe NOI is a useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of our properties, as it excludes certain components from net income available to common shareholders in order to provide results that are more closely related to a property's results of operations. We use NOI internally to evaluate the performance of our operating segments and to make decisions about resource allocations. We concluded that NOI provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations, as it reflects only the income and expense items incurred at the property level, as well as the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition and development activity on an unlevered basis.

Same Store Properties

In our analysis of NOI, particularly to make comparisons of NOI between periods meaningful, it is important to provide information for properties that were in-service and owned by us throughout each period presented. We refer to properties acquired or placed in-service prior to the beginning of the earliest period presented and owned by us through the end of the latest period presented as Same Store Properties. Same Store Properties therefore exclude properties placed in-service, acquired, repositioned, held for sale or in development or redevelopment after the beginning of the earliest period presented or disposed of prior to the end of the latest period presented. Accordingly, it takes at least one year and one quarter after a property is acquired for that property to be included in Same Store Properties.

Core Portfolio

Our core portfolio is comprised of our wholly-owned properties, excluding any properties currently in development, re-development or re-entitlement.

Speculative Revenue

Speculative Revenue represents the amount of rental revenue the company projects to be recorded during the current calendar year from new and renewal leasing activity in its core portfolio that has yet to be executed as of the beginning of the year. This revenue is primarily attributable to the absorption of core portfolio square footage that was either vacant at the beginning of the year or the renewal of existing tenants due to expire during the current year.
