BXP reported its first quarter 2024 results with revenues increasing by 4.5% to $839.4 million. Net income was $79.9 million, falling short of EPS guidance due to impairment charges and higher depreciation expenses. FFO was $271.3 million, in line with guidance. BXP provided reduced guidance for Q2 2024 and full year 2024 due to increased expenses and interest rates.

BXP ha riportato i risultati del primo trimestre 2024 con un aumento del fatturato del 4,5% arrivando a 839,4 milioni di dollari. L'utile netto è stato di 79,9 milioni di dollari, inferiore alle previsioni degli EPS a causa di svalutazioni e maggiori spese di ammortamento. L'FFO è stato di 271,3 milioni di dollari, in linea con le previsioni. BXP ha ridotto le previsioni per il secondo trimestre del 2024 e per l'intero anno a causa dell'aumento delle spese e dei tassi di interesse.

  • Continued focus on sustainability with plans to achieve carbon-neutral operations by 2025.

Negative
  • Net income fell short of EPS guidance due to impairment charges and higher depreciation expenses.

  • Reduced guidance for full year 2024 due to increased expenses and interest rates, impacting EPS and FFO.

Insights

Analysis of the first quarter 2024 financial results reveals that BXP's revenue growth of 4.5% is a positive sign, indicating an expanding operational scale. However, the earnings per share (EPS) shortfall compared to guidance, primarily due to non-cash impairment charges and increased depreciation, might concern investors as it reflects adjustments in asset valuations and higher capital expenditures. The lowered guidance for full-year EPS and Funds from Operations (FFO) suggests management is recalibrating expectations in light of these charges and a potentially more conservative view on interest rate movements.

The report of executing 900,000 square feet of leases with a long weighted-average lease term of 11.6 years gives a level of predictability to future revenues. However, the 91.0% occupation in BXP's CBD portfolio, while strong, may hint at a plateau in occupancy levels. The focus on dynamic urban gateway markets for the company's portfolio is a continued strategic advantage as these areas typically command higher rents and have sustained demand.

Debt management activities, such as the repayment of $700 million senior notes and the establishment of a $500 million commercial paper program, showcase proactive liquidity management, although such moves could introduce additional risks due to changes in short-term debt levels. The increase in borrowing capacity under its credit facility from $1.815 billion to $2.0 billion provides financial flexibility but also signals potential future capital needs.

The scale of BXP's leasing activities and the commencement of new development projects, like the 121 Broadway residential project, signal confidence in urban real estate markets. The substantial pre-leased status of development projects reinforces this view and showcases the company's ability to attract tenants even during the construction phase. This is indicative of the robust demand for high-quality urban spaces, which benefits BXP's strategic positioning.

Transaction activities, such as the acquisition of a 50% economic interest in 901 New York Avenue and the sale of a 45% interest in 290 Binney Street to NBIM, reflect an aggressive asset management strategy. By engaging in joint ventures and acquisitions, BXP is optimizing its portfolio and potentially reducing its capital expenditure burden while still benefitting from development upside.

The focus on sustainability, as evidenced by the 2023 Sustainability & Impact Report and the goals to achieve carbon-neutral operations by 2025, could enhance investor appeal and client retention, particularly as environmental considerations become more integral to corporate decisions.

Executed Approximately 900,000 Square Feet of Leases in Q1

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- BXP (NYSE: BXP), the largest publicly traded developer, owner, and manager of premier workplaces in the United States, reported results today for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Financial Highlights

  • Revenue increased 4.5% to $839.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to $803.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
  • Net income attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. of $79.9 million, or $0.51 per diluted share (EPS), for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to $77.9 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
  • EPS for the first quarter fell short of the mid-point of BXP’s guidance by $0.16 per diluted share primarily due to an $0.08 per diluted share non-cash impairment charge related to its Shady Grove, Maryland investment and $0.06 per diluted share in greater depreciation and amortization expense.
  • Funds from Operations (FFO) of $271.3 million, or $1.73 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to FFO of $272.0 million, or $1.73 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
  • FFO per diluted share for the first quarter was inline with the mid-point of BXP’s guidance.

Guidance

BXP provided guidance for second quarter 2024 EPS of $0.45 - $0.47 and FFO of $1.70 - $1.72 per diluted share, and full year 2024 EPS of $1.97 - $2.09 and FFO of $6.98 - $7.10 per diluted share. This represents a reduction of approximately $0.33 and $0.06 per share of EPS and FFO, respectively, at the midpoint of our guidance provided last quarter.

  • Guidance for full year 2024 EPS has been adjusted primarily due to $0.18 per diluted share in greater depreciation and amortization expense and $0.08 per diluted share in the aforementioned non-cash impairment charge.
  • Guidance for each of full year 2024 EPS and FFO per diluted share has been adjusted due to increased interest expense, primarily as a result of $0.05 per share of greater non-cash fair value interest expense related to finalizing the market value of the in-place debt and interest rate swaps for our recent acquisitions, in addition to the impact of the expected deferral of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve and the resulting uncertainty surrounding the number of cuts this year. We have made no changes to our prior guidance for full-year portfolio occupancy and NOI.

See “EPS and FFO per Share Guidance” below.

Leasing & Occupancy

  • Executed 61 leases totaling approximately 900,000 square feet with a weighted-average lease term of 11.6 years.
  • BXP’s CBD portfolio of premier workplaces was 91.0% occupied and 92.8% leased (including vacant space for which we have signed leases that have not yet commenced in accordance with GAAP). Approximately 91.0% of BXP’s Share of annualized rental obligations are from clients located in our CBD portfolio, underscoring the strength of BXP’s strategy to invest in the highest quality buildings in dynamic urban gateway markets.

Development

  • Commenced development of 121 Broadway, a residential project located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, that is adjacent to BXP’s development projects at 290 and 300 Binney Street. Upon completion, 121 Broadway is expected to consist of 439 rental units and at 37 stories, will be the tallest building in Cambridge.

Transactions

  • Completed the acquisition of its joint venture partner’s 50% economic ownership interest in 901 New York Avenue located in Washington, DC for a purchase price of $10.0 million and recorded a gain on consolidation of approximately $21.8 million. The property is encumbered by an approximately $207.1 million mortgage loan, which bears interest at 3.61% per annum and matures on January 5, 2025. Following the acquisition, BXP modified the mortgage loan to provide for two loan extension options totaling five years of additional term, each subject to certain conditions. The first loan extension option, which provides for an additional term of four years, is at a fixed interest rate of 5.0% per annum. 901 New York Avenue is a premier workplace consisting of approximately 523,939 net rentable square feet.
  • Completed the previously announced sale of a 45% interest in 290 Binney Street, a life sciences development located in Kendall Square in Cambridge Massachusetts, to Norges Bank Investment Management (“NBIM”). NBIM’s investment in 290 Binney Street will reduce BXP’s share of the project’s estimated development spend over time by approximately $533.5 million, including $141.8 million that was funded at closing. The consummation of this joint venture completed NBIM’s two-building investment in Cambridge, Massachusetts with a gross valuation of approximately $1.66 billion or $2,050 per square foot. The properties – 290 Binney Street and 300 Binney Street – total 802,000 square feet and are each 100% pre-leased. BXP retains a 55% interest in each joint venture and provides development, property management, and leasing services for the ventures.

Balance Sheet & Liquidity

  • Boston Properties Limited Partnership (“BPLP”) completed the repayment of $700.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 3.800% senior notes upon maturity which was February 1, 2024. The repayment was completed with the proceeds of a $600.0 million mortgage loan entered into on October 26, 2023 and available cash.
  • On April 16, 2024, BPLP provided notice to exercise its one-year extension option on its unsecured term loan facility. BPLP anticipates effectuating the extension on or prior to the current May 16, 2024 maturity date. Upon effectiveness, the term loan facility will mature on May 16, 2025. After making an approximately $500.0 million optional repayment on April 29, 2024, the term loan facility has an outstanding principal balance of $700.0 million.
  • On April 17, 2024, BPLP established an unsecured commercial paper program. Under the terms of the program, BPLP may issue, from time to time, unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any one time of $500 million with varying maturities of up to one year. The notes will be sold in a private placement and will rank pari passu with all of BPLP’s other unsecured senior indebtedness, including its outstanding senior notes. The commercial paper program is backstopped by available capacity under BPLP's unsecured revolving credit facility. As of April 30, 2024, BPLP had $500.0 million outstanding under its commercial paper program, the proceeds of which were used to reduce BPLP’s $1.2 billion term loan to $700.0 million.
  • On April 29, 2024, BPLP increased the current maximum borrowing amount under its unsecured revolving credit facility from $1.815 billion to $2.0 billion. All other terms of the credit facility, including its expiration date of June 15, 2026, remain unchanged. BPLP has no current borrowings under the credit facility.

Sustainability & Impact

  • On April 22, 2024, in connection with Earth Day, we published BXP’s 2023 Sustainability & Impact Report, which highlights that, among other things, BXP remains on track to achieve carbon-neutral operations by 2025. In conjunction with the publication, BXP announced its third annual Sustainability & Impact Investor Update to be held on May 15, 2024 at 2:00 PM ET.

EPS and FFO per Share Guidance:

BXP’s guidance for the second quarter 2024 and full year 2024 for EPS (diluted) and FFO per share (diluted) is set forth and reconciled below. Except as described below, the estimates reflect management’s view of current and future market conditions, including assumptions with respect to rental rates, occupancy levels, interest rates, the timing of the lease-up of available space, the timing of development cost outlays and development deliveries, and the earnings impact of the events referenced in this release and those referenced during the related conference call. The estimates do not include (1) possible future gains or losses or the impact on operating results from other possible future property acquisitions or dispositions, (2) the impacts of any other capital markets activity, (3) future write-offs or reinstatements of accounts receivable and accrued rent balances, or (4) future impairment charges. EPS estimates may be subject to fluctuations as a result of several factors, including changes in the recognition of depreciation and amortization expense, impairment losses on depreciable real estate, and any gains or losses associated with disposition activity. BXP is not able to assess at this time the potential impact of these factors on projected EPS. By definition, FFO does not include real estate-related depreciation and amortization, impairment losses on depreciable real estate, or gains or losses associated with disposition activities. There can be no assurance that BXP’s actual results will not differ materially from the estimates set forth below.

Pursuant to the revised definition of Funds from Operations adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”), we calculate Funds from Operations, or “FFO,” by adjusting net income (loss) attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. (computed in accordance with GAAP) for gains (or losses) from sales of properties, including a change in control, impairment losses on depreciable real estate consolidated on our balance sheet, impairment losses on our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures driven by a measurable decrease in the fair value of depreciable real estate held by the unconsolidated joint ventures and real estate-related depreciation and amortization. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure, but we believe the presentation of FFO, combined with the presentation of required GAAP financial measures, has improved the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and has helped make comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Management generally considers 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 or a change in control 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.

 

Our calculation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies that do not define the term in accordance with the current Nareit definition or that interpret the current Nareit definition differently.

 

In order to facilitate a clear understanding of the Company’s operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. as presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. FFO should not be considered as a substitute for net income attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. (determined in accordance with GAAP) or any other GAAP financial measures and should only be considered together with and as a supplement to the Company’s financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

During the first quarter, the Company reassessed the classifications of its assets as either CBD or Suburban and that certain assets such as those in Reston, Virginia are located in areas with characteristics that more closely align with our definition of CBD due to their diverse live, work, and play environment. As a result, these assets are now classified as CBD. Comparative period has been updated to reflect the same presentation.
