Kite Realty Group Trust (NYSE: KRG) berichtete über die Ergebnisse des zweiten Quartals 2024 und wies einen Nettoverlust von 48,6 Millionen Dollar (0,22 Dollar pro verwässerter Aktie) aus, hauptsächlich bedingt durch einen Wertminderungsaufwand von 66,2 Millionen Dollar.

Das Unternehmen hat seine Prognose für das NAREIT FFO 2024 auf 2,04-2,08 Dollar pro verwässerter Aktie angehoben.

Wichtige Highlights sind:

  • Vermietung von 1,2 Millionen Quadratfuß mit einer 15,6%igen durchschnittlichen Leasingspanne
  • Heraufstufung des Kreditratings auf BBB von S&P

Positive
  • Raised 2024 NAREIT FFO guidance to $2.04-$2.08 per diluted share
  • Leased 1.2 million square feet at 15.6% blended cash leasing spreads
  • Credit rating upgrade to BBB from S&P
  • Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA improved to 4.8x, an all-time low
  • 8.3% year-over-year increase in quarterly dividend
  • Same Property NOI increased by 1.8% for Q2 and 2.2% year-to-date
  • Retail portfolio leased percentage increased to 94.8%, up 80 basis points sequentially
Negative
  • Net loss of $48.6 million ($0.22 per diluted share) for Q2 2024
  • $66.2 million impairment charge associated with an asset classified as held for sale

Kite Realty Group Trust's Q2 2024 results present a mixed picture. The reported net loss of $48.6 million ($0.22 per diluted share) is concerning at first glance. However, this loss was primarily driven by a $66.2 million impairment charge associated with an asset held for sale. Excluding this charge, the company would have posted a net income of $17.6 million ($0.08 per diluted share).

The company's operational performance shows resilience:

  • NAREIT FFO of $117.5 million ($0.53 per diluted share) for Q2
  • Same Property NOI increased by 1.8%
  • Executed 160 new and renewal leases, representing 1.2 million square feet
  • Impressive blended cash leasing spreads of 15.6%

The company's balance sheet has strengthened, with net debt to Adjusted EBITDA improving to 4.8x, an all-time low for KRG. This improvement, along with the recent credit rating upgrade to BBB from S&P, reflects positively on the company's financial health.

The increase in quarterly dividend by 8.3% year-over-year signals management's confidence in future cash flows. However, investors should note the updated 2024 guidance, which now expects net income attributable to common shareholders of $0.00 to $0.04 per diluted share, a relatively low figure.

Overall, while the impairment charge has impacted short-term profitability, the underlying operational metrics and balance sheet improvements suggest a cautiously positive outlook for Kite Realty Group Trust.

Kite Realty Group Trust's Q2 2024 results reflect the ongoing dynamics in the retail real estate sector. The company's focus on high-quality, open-air grocery-anchored centers in growth markets appears to be paying off:

  • Retail portfolio leased percentage reached 94.8%, an 80-basis point increase sequentially
  • Operating retail portfolio ABR per square foot grew to $20.90, a 3.5% year-over-year increase
  • Portfolio leased-to-occupied spread of 320 basis points represents $35.3 million of signed-not-open NOI, indicating future revenue potential

The strong leasing activity, with approximately 1.2 million square feet leased at 15.6% blended cash leasing spreads, demonstrates robust demand for KRG's properties. Particularly impressive are the 34.8% spreads on new leases, suggesting KRG's ability to attract high-quality tenants at premium rates.

The company's strategic focus on the Sun Belt and select gateway markets aligns with broader demographic trends, potentially positioning KRG for sustained growth. However, the $66.2 million impairment charge on an asset held for sale raises questions about potential challenges in certain properties or markets.

The updated Same Property NOI guidance of 2.0% to 3.0% for 2024 indicates steady, if not spectacular, growth. This, combined with the reduced bad debt assumption, suggests management's confidence in the stability of their tenant base and overall market conditions.

In summary, while facing some challenges, KRG's portfolio appears well-positioned in the current retail real estate landscape, with potential for continued operational improvements and value creation.

(1)   “FFO of the Operating Partnership” measures 100% of the operating performance of the Operating Partnership’s real estate properties. “FFO attributable to common shareholders” reflects a reduction for the redeemable noncontrolling weighted average diluted interest in the Operating Partnership.
(2)   Per share/unit amounts of components will not necessarily sum to the total due to rounding to the nearest cent.

Funds From Operations (“FFO”) is a widely used performance measure for real estate companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure of operating performance. The Company calculates FFO, a non-GAAP financial measure, in accordance with the best practices described in the April 2002 National Policy Bulletin of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), as restated in 2018. The NAREIT white paper defines FFO as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding (i) depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (ii) gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, (iii) gains and losses from change in control, and (iv) impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity.

Considering the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, the Company believes that FFO is helpful to investors in measuring our operational performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as gains or losses from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. FFO (a) should not be considered as an alternative to net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) for the purpose of measuring our financial performance, (b) is not an alternative to cash flows from operating activities (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, and (c) is not indicative of funds available to satisfy our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. The Company’s computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

From time to time, the Company may report or provide guidance with respect to “FFO, as adjusted,” which removes the impact of certain non-recurring and non-operating transactions or other items the Company does not consider to be representative of its core operating results including, without limitation, (i) gains or losses associated with the early extinguishment of debt, (ii) gains or losses associated with litigation involving the Company that is not in the normal course of business, (iii) merger and acquisition costs, (iv) the impact on earnings from employee severance, (v) the excess of redemption value over carrying value of preferred stock redemption, and (vi) the impact of prior period bad debt or the collection of accounts receivable previously written off (“prior period collection impact”) due to the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, which are not otherwise adjusted in the Company’s calculation of FFO.

(1) Same Property NOI excludes the following: (i) properties acquired or placed in service during 2023 and 2024; (ii) The Landing at Tradition – Phase II, which was reclassified from active redevelopment into our operating portfolio in June 2023; (iii) our active development and redevelopment projects at Carillon medical office building and The Corner – IN; (iv) Hamilton Crossing Centre and Edwards Multiplex – Ontario, which were reclassified from our operating portfolio into redevelopment in June 2014 and March 2023, respectively; (v) properties sold or classified as held for sale during 2023 and 2024; and (vi) office properties.
(2) Excludes leases that are signed but for which tenants have not yet commenced the payment of cash rent. Calculated as a weighted average based on the timing of cash rent commencement and expiration during the period.
(3) Includes non-cash activity across the portfolio as well as NOI from properties not included in the same property pool, including properties sold during both periods.

The Company uses property NOI, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the performance of our properties. The Company defines NOI as income from our real estate, including lease termination fees received from tenants, less our property operating expenses. NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions and certain corporate level expenses, including merger and acquisition costs. The Company believes that NOI is helpful to investors as a measure of our operating performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and impairment, if any.

The Company also uses same property NOI (“Same Property NOI”), a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the performance of our properties. Same Property NOI is net income excluding properties that have not been owned for the full periods presented. Same Property NOI also excludes (i) net gains from outlot sales, (ii) straight-line rent revenue, (iii) lease termination income in excess of lost rent, (iv) amortization of lease intangibles, and (v) significant prior period expense recoveries and adjustments, if any. When the Company receives payments in excess of any accounts receivable for terminating a lease, Same Property NOI will include such excess payments as monthly rent until the earlier of the expiration of 12 months or the start date of a replacement tenant. The Company believes that Same Property NOI is helpful to investors as a measure of our operating performance because it includes only the NOI of properties that have been owned for the full periods presented. The Company believes such presentation eliminates disparities in net income due to the acquisition or disposition of properties during the particular periods presented and thus provides a more consistent metric for the comparison of our properties. Same Property NOI includes the results of properties that have been owned for the entire current and prior year reporting periods.

NOI and Same Property NOI should not, however, be considered as alternatives to net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as indicators of our financial performance. The Company’s computation of NOI and Same Property NOI may differ from the methodology used by other REITs and, therefore, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

When evaluating the properties that are included in the same property pool, we have established specific criteria for determining the inclusion of properties acquired or those recently under development. An acquired property is included in the same property pool when there is a full quarter of operations in both years subsequent to the acquisition date. Development and redevelopment properties are included in the same property pool four full quarters after the properties have been transferred to the operating portfolio. A redevelopment property is first excluded from the same property pool when the execution of a redevelopment plan is likely and we (a) begin recapturing space from tenants or (b) the contemplated plan significantly impacts the operations of the property. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the same property pool excludes the following: (i) properties acquired or placed in service during 2023 and 2024; (ii) The Landing at Tradition – Phase II, which was reclassified from active redevelopment into our operating portfolio in June 2023; (iii) our active development and redevelopment projects at Carillon medical office building and The Corner – IN; (iv) Hamilton Crossing Centre and Edwards Multiplex – Ontario, which were reclassified from our operating portfolio into redevelopment in June 2014 and March 2023, respectively; (v) properties sold or classified as held for sale during 2023 and 2024; and (vi) office properties.

(2) Partner share of consolidated joint venture debt is calculated based upon the partner’s pro rata ownership of the joint venture, multiplied by the related secured debt balance.

The Company defines EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income before interest expense, income tax expense of the taxable REIT subsidiaries, and depreciation and amortization. For informational purposes, the Company also provides Adjusted EBITDA, which it defines as EBITDA less (i) EBITDA from unconsolidated entities, as adjusted, (ii) gains on sales of operating properties or impairment charges, (iii) merger and acquisition costs, (iv) other income and expense, (v) noncontrolling interest Adjusted EBITDA, and (vi) other non-recurring activity or items impacting comparability from period to period. Annualized Adjusted EBITDA is Adjusted EBITDA for the most recent quarter multiplied by four. Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA is the Company’s share of net debt divided by Annualized Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Annualized Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated by the Company, are not comparable to EBITDA and EBITDA-related measures reported by other REITs that do not define EBITDA and EBITDA-related measures exactly as we do. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Annualized Adjusted EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income as an indicator of performance or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as an indicator of liquidity.

Considering the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, the Company believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and the ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA are helpful to investors in measuring our operational performance because they exclude various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as gains or losses from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. For informational purposes, the Company also provides Annualized Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted as described above. The Company believes this supplemental information provides a meaningful measure of its operating performance. The Company believes presenting EBITDA and the related measures in this manner allows investors and other interested parties to form a more meaningful assessment of the Company’s operating results.
