Insights

Market Research Analyst

Camden Property Trust's recently reported operating results, including EPS, FFO, Core FFO and Core AFFO, reflect a mixed performance in the real estate sector. A key point of interest is the EPS growth from $0.42 to $2.03 for the quarter, suggesting a strong increase in profitability. However, the year's EPS shows a decrease from $6.04 to $3.70, indicating some volatility or potential one-time gains in the previous year. The FFO and Core FFO figures have remained relatively stable, with slight increases, which could indicate a steady operational cash flow, important for dividend sustainability and potential reinvestment.

From a market perspective, the slight decrease in same property revenues and the increase in expenses could be a concern for investors as it suggests a squeeze on net operating income. However, the stable NOI growth year-to-date indicates effective cost management. The occupancy rates remain high, which is a positive signal for the company's ability to attract and retain tenants. The leasing data, with new lease rates showing a decline, could signal a competitive market or a strategic pricing decision to maintain occupancy levels. The disposition of properties and the recognition of significant gains demonstrate active portfolio management, which is crucial for optimizing asset value.

Financial Analyst

Camden Property Trust's capital market transactions reveal a strategic approach to financing. The issuance of $500 million in senior unsecured notes with a relatively high coupon rate of 5.850% reflects the current interest rate environment and the company's creditworthiness. The subsequent issuance of $400 million senior unsecured notes at a lower coupon rate of 4.900% for a longer term suggests a proactive debt management strategy, potentially aimed at locking in lower rates for the long term and improving the company's debt maturity profile.

The repayment of the outstanding balance on its $300 million unsecured term loan and the 4.36% $250 million senior unsecured notes upon maturity demonstrates financial discipline and a strong liquidity position. Camden's liquidity analysis, indicating over $1.4 billion of liquidity, positions the company well to withstand potential market downturns and fund development projects. This robust liquidity, combined with the quarterly dividend declaration, reflects a shareholder-friendly approach and could be a positive indicator for investors looking for stable income streams.

Real Estate Investment Analyst

The development activity outlined by Camden Property Trust highlights the company's growth strategy through selective development projects. The completion of construction at Camden NoDa and the beginning of leasing at Camden Woodmill Creek and Camden Durham indicate an expansion of the company's portfolio. The high percentage leased at Camden NoDa (89%) is a strong indicator of market demand and the success of the company's development efforts. Conversely, the lower percentage leased at the other two properties suggests they are in the earlier stages of lease-up, which is typical for new developments.

The planned dispositions, including the recent sale in Costa Mesa and the upcoming sale in Atlanta, suggest an active portfolio optimization strategy. The recognition of a gain of approximately $176.4 million on the Costa Mesa sale is particularly noteworthy, as it represents a substantial capital gain and could be indicative of the company's ability to create value through property transactions. Investors in the real estate sector look for such strategic asset management as it can lead to capital appreciation and distribution of profits.

(Unaudited)

This document contains certain non-GAAP financial measures management believes are useful in evaluating an equity REIT's performance. Camden's definitions and calculations of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those used by other REITs, and thus may not be comparable. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our operating performance, or to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

FFO

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) currently defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP")), excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains (or losses) from the sale of certain real estate assets (depreciable real estate), impairments of certain real estate assets (depreciable real estate), gains or losses from change in control, and adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures to reflect FFO on the same basis. Our calculation of diluted FFO also assumes conversion of all potentially dilutive securities, including certain non-controlling interests, which are convertible into common shares. We consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance because, by excluding gains or losses on dispositions of depreciable real estate, and depreciation, FFO can assist in the comparison of the operating performance of a company’s real estate investments between periods or to different companies.

Core FFO

Core FFO represents FFO as further adjusted for items not considered part of our core business operations, such as casualty-related expenses, net of (recoveries), severance, legal costs and settlements, net of recoveries, loss on early retirement of debt, expensed development and other pursuit costs, net below market lease amortization, and miscellaneous (income)/expense adjustments. We consider Core FFO to be a helpful supplemental measure of operating performance as it excludes not only depreciation expense of real estate assets, but it also excludes certain items which by their nature are not comparable period over period and therefore tends to obscure actual operating performance. Our definition of Core FFO may differ from other REITs, and there can be no assurance our basis for computing this measure is comparable to other REITs.

Core Adjusted FFO

In addition to FFO & Core FFO, we compute Core Adjusted FFO ("Core AFFO") as a supplemental measure of operating performance. Core AFFO is calculated utilizing Core FFO less recurring capital expenditures which are necessary to help preserve the value of and maintain the functionality at our communities. Our definition of recurring capital expenditures may differ from other REITs, and there can be no assurance our basis for computing this measure is comparable to other REITs. A reconciliation of FFO to Core FFO and Core AFFO is provided below:

Net Operating Income (NOI)

NOI is defined by the Company as property revenue less property operating and maintenance expenses less real estate taxes. NOI is further detailed in the Components of Property NOI schedules on page 11 of the supplement. The Company considers NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance to net income attributable to common shareholders because it reflects the operating performance of our communities without allocation of corporate level property management overhead or general and administrative costs. Our definition of NOI may differ from other REITs and there can be no assurance our basis for computing this measure is comparable to other REITs.

EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization for Real Estate (“EBITDAre”) and Adjusted EBITDAre are supplemental measures of our financial performance. EBITDAre is calculated in accordance with the definition adopted by NAREIT as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization plus or minus losses and gains on the disposition of depreciated property, including gains (losses) on change of control, plus impairment write-downs of depreciated property with adjustments to reflect the Company’s share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated joint ventures.

Adjusted EBITDAre represents EBITDAre as further adjusted for non-core items. Adjusted EBITDAre excludes equity in (income) loss of joint ventures, (gain) loss on land, and loss on early retirement of debt. The Company considers EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance to net income because it represents income before non-cash depreciation and the cost of debt, and excludes gains or losses from property dispositions. Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre is Adjusted EBITDAre as reported for the period multiplied by 4 for quarter results. A reconciliation of net income to EBITDAre and adjusted EBITDAre is provided below:

Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre

The Company believes Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre to be an appropriate supplemental measure of evaluating balance sheet leverage. Net Debt is defined by the Company as the average monthly balance of Total Debt during the period, less the average monthly balance of Cash and Cash Equivalents during the period. The following tables reconcile average Total debt to Net debt and computes the ratio to Adjusted EBITDAre for the following periods:
