Rhea-AI Summary

PREIT (NYSE: PEI) reported significant financial losses for the quarter and year ending December 31, 2020. The net loss for Q4 was $202.1 million, or $2.62 per share, compared to a loss of $21.7 million, or $0.29 per share, in 2019. Funds From Operations (FFO) also decreased to $(0.22) per diluted share from $0.28 in the prior year. Same Store Net Operating Income (NOI) dropped 33.3% for the quarter and 28.2% for the year, primarily due to bankruptcies and the impacts of COVID-19. Despite these challenges, PREIT is restructuring its debt and signed 358,000 square feet of leases, predicting an annual gross rent increase of $8.4 million.

"The PREIT team, and portfolio, proved to be resilient as we navigated uncertain terrain.  Our targeted strategy of dispositions and anchor replacements over the past several years created a real estate portfolio of bullseye locations in high barrier-to-entry markets that stands the test of time," said Joseph F. Coradino, Chairman and CEO of PREIT.  "Our portfolio is comprised of a differentiated mix of uses that attracts robust demand from a variety of non-retail uses, strengthening the Company and fortifying our revenue stream. At the same time, we are well-positioned for a strong return to brick and mortar shopping and leisure as restrictions ease and vaccinations continue."

  • Same Store NOI, excluding lease termination revenue, decreased 33.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2019.
    • The quarter was impacted by a decrease in revenue of $22.1 million primarily resulting from bankruptcies and related store closings, an increase in credit losses for challenged tenants as well as decreased percentage sales revenue resulting from restrictions limiting consumer traffic related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Same Store NOI, excluding lease termination revenue, decreased 28.2% for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019.
    • The year was impacted by a decrease in revenue of $75.0 million primarily resulting from bankruptcies and related store closings, an increase in credit losses for challenged tenants, the accounting for rental abatements as well as decreased percentage sales revenue resulting from mall closures related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • In support of challenged tenants, PREIT granted just under $12 million in rent abatements.
  • Cash collections continued to improve, increasing to 112% of billings for Q4 2020.   
  • Core Mall total occupancy was 90.3%.  Core Mall non-anchor occupancy was 89.4%.
  • Core Mall non-anchor leased space, at 90.1%, exceeds occupied space by 70 basis points when factoring in executed new leases slated for future occupancy.
  • Average renewal spreads for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 were 1.4% in the wholly-owned portfolio for spaces less than 10,000 square feet.
  • The Company supported local economies, paying over $66 million in real estate taxes during 2020.
  • The Company completed its financial restructuring, extending its debt maturity schedule and improving its liquidity position. 

Leasing and Redevelopment

  • 358,000 square feet of leases are signed for future openings, which is expected to contribute annual gross rent of $8.4 million.
  • Leasing momentum continued with over 600,000 square feet of new stores opening in the portfolio during the year.
  • Construction is underway for Aldi to open its first store in the portfolio at Dartmouth Mall during Q3 2021.
  • A lease has been executed for a new self-storage facility in previously unused below grade space at Mall at Prince George's with an anticipated opening in Q1 2022.
  • A lease with Tilt Studios was signed to replace JC Penney at Magnolia Mall in Florence, SC.
  • A transaction has been executed with Cooper Hospital for an outpatient location in the former Sears space at Moorestown Mall in Moorestown, NJ.

COVID-19 Impact and Response

  • During 2020, the Company experienced varying levels of property closures and continued restrictions on certain businesses.
  • Core mall traffic at comparable properties was approximately 74% of 2019 traffic during the holiday season.
  • Cash collections for April through December totaled 80% of billings for those months.
  • In continuous support of its tenants, PREIT has developed and implemented its own contactless pick up solution, Mall2Go, and developed a branded parking lot activation series, Park and Play, that has resulted in two dozen events being held between late July and mid-September at its properties.
  • Across its portfolio, the Company has hosted blood drives and food donation drives, provided meals to area essential workers, and donated much needed protective supplies. Read more about our efforts here.
  • The Company launched sMALL surprises, an innovative e-commerce platform delivering curated surprise packs from our mall retailers based on the recipient's interests.
  • The Company launched an initiative to support black-owned businesses and brands throughout its portfolio to empower its customers to make more informed purchasing decisions, noting that black-owned businesses were disproportionately challenged by the pandemic.

Primary Factors Affecting Financial Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

  • Net loss attributable to PREIT common shareholders was $202.1 million (which takes into consideration the accrual of preferred dividends that accumulated during the quarter but have not been paid), or $2.62 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared to net loss attributable to PREIT common shareholders of $21.7 million, or $0.29 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2019.
  • As a result of the revaluation of assets at our Fashion District Philadelphia partnership, the Company recognized a loss on remeasurement of $148.5 million in the quarter.
  • Same Store NOI, including lease terminations, decreased by $20.7 million, or 34.4%. The decrease is primarily due to lost revenues from bankrupt tenants, an increase in credit losses and a decrease in percentage of sales revenue due to COVID-19 related store closures, partially offset by new store openings, including contributions from replacement anchors.
  • Non-Same Store NOI decreased by $1.6 million, primarily due to lost revenues from bankrupt tenants, an increase in credit losses and a decrease in percentage of sales revenue due to COVID-19 related mall closures. Other decreases in NOI from Non-Same Store properties is due to the derecognition of property at Valley View Mall during the third quarter of 2020.
  • FFO for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was $(0.22) per diluted share and OP Unit compared to $0.28 per diluted share and OP Unit for the three months ended December 31, 2019. Adjustments to FFO in the fourth quarter of 2020 were related to $0.05 per share from reorganization expenses and $0.04 per share from loss on hedge ineffectiveness. Adjustments to FFO in the 2019 quarter included $0.04 per share of provision for employee separation expenses and $0.03 per share of impairment of development land parcels.

All NOI and FFO amounts referenced as primary factors affecting financial results above include our share of unconsolidated properties' revenues and expenses. Additional information regarding changes in operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 is included on page 16.

Debt Restructuring and Chapter 11 Process
On December 11, 2020, the Company announced that it had successfully completed its financial restructuring and emerged from Chapter 11.

The Company's new credit facility provides the Company access to up to $130 million of new capital to support its operations and continue advancing its strategic priorities. In addition to recapitalizing its business, PREIT's debt maturity schedule has been extended, providing the Company with enhanced financial flexibility. 

Asset Dispositions
Multifamily Land Parcels: The Company has executed agreements of sale for land parcels for anticipated multifamily development in the amount of $87.2 million. The agreements are with multiple buyers across five properties for 2,200 units as part of Phase I of the Company's previously announced multifamily land sale plan.  Closing on the transactions is subject to customary due diligence provisions and securing entitlements.

Rounding

Certain summarized information in the tables above may not total due to rounding.

Definitions

Funds From Operations ("FFO")

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines Funds From Operations ("FFO"), which is a non-GAAP measure commonly used by REITs, as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding (i) depreciation and amortization of real estate, (ii) gains and losses on sales 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. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT, which 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. NAREIT's established guidance provides that excluding impairment write downs of depreciable real estate is consistent with the NAREIT definition.

FFO is a commonly used measure of operating performance and profitability among REITs. We use FFO and FFO per diluted share and unit of limited partnership interest in our operating partnership ("OP Unit") in measuring our performance against our peers and as one of the performance measures for determining incentive compensation amounts earned under certain of our performance-based executive compensation programs.

FFO does not include gains and losses on sales of operating real estate assets or impairment write downs of depreciable real estate (including development land parcels), which are included in the determination of net loss in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, FFO is not a comprehensive measure of our operating cash flows. In addition, since FFO does not include depreciation on real estate assets, FFO may not be a useful performance measure when comparing our operating performance to that of other non-real estate commercial enterprises. We compensate for these limitations by using FFO in conjunction with other GAAP financial performance measures, such as net loss and net cash used in operating activities, and other non-GAAP financial performance measures, such as NOI. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net loss (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our financial performance or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. We believe that net loss is the most directly comparable GAAP measurement to FFO.

When applicable, we also present FFO, as adjusted, and FFO per diluted share and OP Unit, as adjusted, which are non-GAAP measures, for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, to show the effect of such items as gain or loss on debt extinguishment (including accelerated amortization of financing costs), impairment of assets, provision for employee separation expense, insurance recoveries or losses, net, gain on derecognition of property, loss on hedge ineffectiveness and reorganization expenses which had an effect on our results of operations, but are not, in our opinion, indicative of our ongoing operating performance.

We believe that FFO is helpful to management and investors as a measure of operating performance because it excludes various items included in net loss that do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, such as gains on sales of operating real estate and depreciation and amortization of real estate, among others. We believe that Funds From Operations, as adjusted, is helpful to management and investors as a measure of operating performance because it adjusts FFO to exclude items that management does not believe are indicative of our operating performance, such as gain or loss on debt extinguishment (including accelerated amortization of financing costs), impairment of assets, provision for employee separation expense, insurance recoveries or losses, net, gain on derecognition of property, loss on hedge ineffectiveness and reorganization expenses.

Net Operating Income ("NOI")

NOI (a non-GAAP measure) is derived from real estate revenue (determined in accordance with GAAP, including lease termination revenue), minus property operating expenses (determined in accordance with GAAP), plus our pro rata share of revenue and property operating expenses of our unconsolidated partnership investments. NOI does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net loss (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our financial performance or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity. It is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. We believe NOI is helpful to management and investors as a measure of operating performance because it is an indicator of the return on property investment, and provides a method of comparing property performance over time. We believe that net loss is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to NOI. NOI excludes other income, general and administrative expenses, provision for employee separation expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, insurance recoveries, gain/loss on debt extinguishment, gain on derecognition of property, impairment of assets, gains on sales of real estate by equity method investees, equity in loss/income of partnerships, loss on remeasurement of assets by equity method investee, gain on sale of non operating real estate, gain/loss on sale of real estate, impairment of development land parcel, project costs and other expenses and reorganization expenses.

Same Store NOI is calculated using retail properties owned for the full periods presented and excludes properties acquired or disposed of, under redevelopment, or designated as non-core during the periods presented. In 2018, Wyoming Valley Mall was designated as non-core and subsequently conveyed to the lender of the mortgage loan secured by that property in 2019. In 2019, Exton Square Mall and Valley View Mall were designated as non-core and are excluded from Same Store NOI. Non Same Store NOI is calculated using the retail properties excluded from the calculation of Same Store NOI.

Financial Information of our Unconsolidated Properties

The non-GAAP financial measures of FFO and NOI presented in this press release incorporate financial information attributable to our share of unconsolidated properties. This proportionate financial information is also non-GAAP financial information, but we believe that it is helpful information because it reflects the proportionate contribution from our unconsolidated properties that are owned through investments accounted for under GAAP using the equity method of accounting. Under such method, earnings from these unconsolidated partnerships are recorded in our statements of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP under the caption entitled "Equity in (loss) income of partnerships."

To derive the proportionate financial information from our unconsolidated properties, we multiplied the percentage of our economic interest in each partnership on a property-by-property basis by each line item.  Under the partnership agreements relating to our current unconsolidated partnerships with third parties, we own a 25% to 50% economic interest in such partnerships, and there are generally no provisions in such partnership agreements relating to special non-proportionate allocations of income or loss, and there are no preferred or priority returns of capital or other similar provisions.  While this method approximates our indirect economic interest in our pro rata share of the revenue and expenses of our unconsolidated partnerships, we do not have a direct legal claim to the assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses of the unconsolidated partnerships beyond our rights as an equity owner in the event of any liquidation of such entity.  Our percentage ownership is not necessarily indicative of the legal and economic implications of our ownership interest.  Accordingly, NOI and FFO results based on our share of the results of unconsolidated partnerships do not represent cash generated from our investments in these partnerships.

Core Properties

Core Properties include all operating retail properties except for Exton Square Mall and Fashion District Philadelphia.  Valley View Mall was previously designated as a non-core property. In August 2020, a court order assigned a special servicer to operate the property on behalf of the lender of the mortgage loan secured by the property and a court order was issued in September 2020 to conduct a foreclosure sale of the property.  Although we have not yet conveyed the property because foreclosure proceedings are ongoing, we no longer operate the property as a result of the court order assigning the special servicer. Core Malls excludes these properties, power centers and Gloucester Premium Outlets.
