Insights

The Q3 2024 results show significant positive momentum for Gladstone Commercial. Key highlights include: $39.2M in operating revenue (5.9% increase), $11.7M net income (up from $1.6M) and Core FFO of $16.3M (11.2% increase). The company maintained a strong 98.5% occupancy rate and achieved 100% rent collection.

Notable achievements include successful capital recycling through the sale of two non-core properties for $14.2M, acquisition of a fully-occupied property at an attractive 9.94% cap rate and raising $38.9M through common stock issuance. The company's deleveraging efforts are evident in the 4.1% reduction in mortgage notes and borrowings.

The focus on industrial properties and target growth markets, combined with consistent rental growth and proactive portfolio management, positions the company well despite broader economic challenges.

The property portfolio restructuring strategy demonstrates strong execution. The sale of six non-core assets in 2024 with additional planned dispositions shows commitment to portfolio optimization. The successful leasing of 2.6M square feet to ten tenants reflects robust demand for their properties.

The 2% annual same-store rent growth trend is particularly noteworthy in the current market environment. The company's ability to maintain full occupancy and perfect rent collection through economic uncertainties validates their tenant credit underwriting approach.

The strategic focus on industrial properties in growth markets aligns with current market trends, as industrial remains one of the strongest performing commercial real estate sectors. The combination of deleveraging, strategic acquisitions and portfolio optimization creates a solid foundation for sustainable growth.

Third Quarter 2024 Results: Core FFO available to common shareholders and Non-controlling OP Unitholders for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $16.3 million, an 11.2% increase when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, equaling $0.38 per share.

Comments from Gladstone Commercial's President, Buzz Cooper: "Our financial results reflect consistent performance and stabilized revenues from our tremendous same store property occupancy, rent collection and growth, accretive real estate investments made during 2023 and 2024, and our ability to renew tenants, as well as our deleveraging and capital recycling programs. We have continued our capital recycling program, whereby we have sold non-core assets and used the proceeds to de-lever our portfolio, as well as acquire properties in our target growth markets. We have successfully exited six non-core assets thus far in 2024, and we have additional non-core assets we anticipate selling over the next one to two years that we believe will result in capital gains. We will continue to opportunistically sell non-core assets and redeploy the proceeds into stronger target growth markets with a focus on industrial investment opportunities. While we expect to face challenges due to the lingering effects of the pandemic, significant inflation with a corresponding increase in interest rates, and the geo-political and economic issues arising from international wars, we feel strongly about the depth of our tenant credit underwriting. We have collected 100% of the first three quarters' cash rents and 100% of October cash rents. We anticipate our tenants will successfully navigate the current economic climate and will be able to continue operating successfully when economic normalcy returns fully. Despite economic uncertainty, so far during 2024, we renewed or newly leased 2,626,199 square feet of properties with ten tenants. We are actively marketing our remaining vacant space and currently anticipate positive outcomes. We expect to continue to have access to the debt and equity markets, as necessary, for added liquidity. We believe our same store rents, which have increased by 2% annually in recent years, should continue to rise as we grow, and we will continue to primarily focus on investing in our target markets, with an emphasis on industrial properties and actively managing our portfolio."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

FFO: The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") developed FFO as a relative non-GAAP supplemental measure of operating performance of an equity REIT to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and impairment losses on property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO does not represent cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of its performance or to cash flow from operations as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions. The Company believes that FFO per share provides investors with an additional context for evaluating its financial performance and as a supplemental measure to compare it to other REITs; however, comparisons of its FFO to the FFO of other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to potential differences in the application of the NAREIT definition used by such other REITs.

Core FFO: Core FFO is FFO adjusted for certain items that are not indicative of the results provided by the Company's operating portfolio and affect the comparability of the Company's period-over-period performance. These items include the adjustment for acquisition related expenses, gains or losses from early extinguishment of debt and any other non-recurring expense adjustments. Although the Company's calculation of Core FFO differs from NAREIT's definition of FFO and may not be comparable to that of other REITs, the Company believes it is a meaningful supplemental measure of its operating performance. Accordingly, Core FFO should be considered a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance.

The Company's presentation of FFO, as defined by NAREIT, or presentation of Core FFO, does not represent cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of its performance or to cash flow from operations as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions.
