Kilroy Realty Corporation Reports Fourth Quarter Financial Results

Rhea-AI Summary

Kilroy Realty Corporation (NYSE: KRC) reported strong financial results for Q4 and full year 2023, with revenues of $269.0 million and net income available to common stockholders of $0.40 per diluted share. The company's leasing and occupancy stabilized portfolio was 85.0% occupied and 86.4% leased at December 31, 2023. KRC signed approximately 588,000 square feet of new and renewal leases during the quarter, and added approximately $750.0 million of new development properties to the stabilized portfolio throughout the year. The company's sustainability and corporate social responsibility efforts have been impressive, achieving carbon neutral operations and being listed on the U.S. EPA's National Top 100 List of largest green power users. However, the company's guidance estimates for the full year 2024 reflect a change in same store cash NOI of (4.0%) to (6.0%) and a decrease in average full year occupancy to 82.5% to 84.0%.

Insights

Financial Analyst

The Q4 and full-year financial results reported by Kilroy Realty Corporation (KRC) provide key insights into the company's operational and financial health. The reported net income available to common stockholders of $0.40 per diluted share and FFO of $129.3 million, or $1.08 per diluted share, are critical indicators of KRC's profitability and cash flow from operations. The FFO, in particular, is a preferred metric in the real estate industry, as it adds back depreciation and amortization of real estate assets to net income, providing a clearer picture of the company's performance from its core business operations without the distortion of non-cash charges.

The increase in GAAP and cash rents by 21.7% and 1.6% respectively, excluding short-term leases, suggests a strong pricing power and a healthy demand for KRC's properties. Furthermore, the leasing volume being the highest since Q2 2019 indicates a robust commercial real estate market and a potentially favorable environment for revenue growth. However, the forecasted decrease in same store cash NOI and a lower occupancy rate for 2024 raises concerns about future revenue stability and could signal a cooling in the commercial real estate market.

From a liquidity standpoint, the increase in borrowing capacity and the completion of a public offering of $400.0 million of 12-year unsecured senior notes at 6.250% interest rate due January 2036 enhances the company's financial flexibility. Yet, the fixed interest rate of 5.90% on the eleven-year mortgage note, in the context of the current interest rate environment, may affect the cost of capital and influence the company's debt servicing capabilities.

Market Research Analyst

The addition of significant development properties to KRC's stabilized portfolio, including the Indeed Tower and the office building in San Diego, reflects strategic asset growth and diversification. The high percentage of leasing and occupancy for these properties bodes well for the company's ability to attract tenants and generate stable revenue streams. The focus on sustainability and corporate social responsibility, as evidenced by KRC's carbon neutral operations and recognition by organizations like ENERGY STAR and GRESB, may enhance the company's brand reputation and appeal to a growing segment of environmentally conscious tenants and investors.

However, the guidance for 2024 indicates a projected decrease in occupancy levels and same store cash NOI, which could be interpreted as a cautious or conservative outlook in the face of potential market headwinds. This projected decline should be closely monitored by investors as it could impact the company's ability to maintain dividend payouts and influence its stock performance. The underlying assumptions about rental rates and occupancy levels will be critical in determining the accuracy of the guidance and the company's ability to meet or exceed investor expectations.

Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Analyst

As a REIT, KRC's dividend distribution is of particular interest to investors and the declared quarterly cash dividend of $0.54 per share is a tangible return on investment. Given the REIT structure, which requires distribution of at least 90% of taxable income to shareholders, the dividend yield and sustainability are directly linked to the company's operational performance and FFO. The FFO guidance for 2024, ranging from $4.10 to $4.25 per diluted share, is a key metric for investors to assess the company's ability to sustain and potentially grow its dividend payouts.

The reported increase in the borrowing capacity of the unsecured term loan facility, along with the recent capital raise through unsecured senior notes, suggests a proactive approach to capital management. It is essential to consider that while this may provide the necessary capital for growth initiatives, it also increases the company's leverage, which could become a concern if the projected downturn in occupancy and NOI materializes.

Investors should also take note of the CEO transition, as changes in leadership can affect strategic direction and operational execution. While the outgoing CEO will remain as an advisor and Chair of the Board, the new CEO's ability to navigate the forecasted challenging market conditions will be crucial for maintaining investor confidence.

________________________

(1)		We calculate Funds From Operations available to common stockholders and common unitholders (“FFO”) in accordance with the 2018 Restated White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of Nareit. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate and impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets) and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our calculation of FFO includes the amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant-funded tenant improvements and excludes the depreciation of the related tenant improvement assets. We also add back net income attributable to noncontrolling common units of the Operating Partnership because we report FFO attributable to common stockholders and common unitholders.
		We believe that FFO is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. The exclusion from FFO of gains and losses from the sale of operating real estate assets allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the assets that form the core of our activity and assists in comparing those operating results between periods. Also, because FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs, it facilitates comparisons of operating performance to other REITs. However, other REITs may use different methodologies to calculate FFO, and accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to all other REITs.
		Implicit in historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP is the assumption that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies using historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, we believe that FFO along with the required GAAP presentations provides a more complete measurement of our performance relative to our competitors and a more appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing and investing activities than the required GAAP presentations alone would provide.
		However, FFO should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our operating performance because it does not reflect either depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, which are significant economic costs and could materially impact our results from operations.
(2)		Reported amounts are attributable to common stockholders, common unitholders and restricted stock unitholders.
(3)		FFO available to common stockholders and unitholders includes amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant-funded tenant improvements of $5.7 million and $5.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $20.7 million and $19.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
(4)		Calculated based on weighted average shares outstanding, including participating share-based awards (i.e. certain time-based restricted stock units) and assuming the exchange of all common limited partnership units outstanding.
(5)		Calculated based on weighted average shares outstanding, including participating and non-participating share-based awards, dilutive impact of contingently issuable shares, and assuming the exchange of all common limited partnership units outstanding.
