Insights
Peakstone Realty Trust's (PKST) disposition of $336 million in assets and the deleveraging of their balance sheet are indicative of a strategic shift towards liquidity and risk mitigation. The significant reduction in leverage, from a 7.7x to 6.2x Net Debt to Normalized EBITDAre ratio, reflects a conservative approach to financial management. This deleveraging process, combined with a stable liquidity position of approximately $551 million, positions PKST to better withstand potential economic downturns and interest rate fluctuations. The focus on the industrial segment, which exhibits full occupancy and longer weighted average lease terms, suggests an alignment with current market trends favoring industrial real estate due to the e-commerce boom.
However, the reported net loss of approximately $(557.9) million for the year, despite being partially offset by non-cash charges and asset sales gains, raises concerns about the underlying profitability of the portfolio. Investors should monitor whether the shift in portfolio composition and reduction in leverage will translate into improved net income figures in the future. The reduction in annual revenue year-over-year is also noteworthy, as it reflects the impact of the strategic disposition program and may affect dividend sustainability, despite the current maintenance of a $0.225 per common share dividend.
PKST's strategic focus on the industrial real estate segment is well-founded, considering the industry's robust demand driven by e-commerce and supply chain dynamics. The 100% occupancy rate in their industrial segment and the favorable releasing spreads (31% GAAP and 11% cash for industrial leases) underscore the strength of this asset class. These releasing spreads, significantly above industry norms, suggest that PKST is capitalizing on the market's appetite for industrial spaces and achieving rent increases upon lease renewals or new leases.
The office segment, while still highly occupied, shows a longer weighted average lease term (WALT) than the industrial segment, which may signal stability but also a slower response to changing market rents. The 'Other' segment's lower occupancy rate (82.4%) and shorter WALT (approximately 2.6 years) could indicate potential vulnerabilities or repositioning opportunities.
Investors should consider the geographic distribution of PKST's portfolio and tenant credit ratings, as these factors influence the resilience and growth potential of the trust's income streams. The substantial portion of annualized base rent coming from investment-grade tenants or those with equivalent ratings provides a layer of security for the revenue base.
The improvement in PKST's leverage ratio and the restructuring of its debt profile, with 90% of the debt stack fixed at favorable rates, demonstrate a proactive approach to capital management. The absence of material debt maturities until late 2025 affords the company time to further stabilize and grow its portfolio without the immediate pressure of refinancing. This strategic positioning is particularly prudent given the current interest rate environment, where locking in lower rates can significantly impact long-term debt servicing costs.
Additionally, the agreement with AIG to facilitate the disposition of properties securing the AIG Loans without regard to the original release prices indicates a flexible and opportunistic approach to debt management. This could potentially lead to a more favorable resolution of these liabilities, enhancing PKST's financial flexibility. Investors should view these developments positively, as they reflect a management team that is actively working to optimize the company's balance sheet in a manner that supports both current operations and strategic growth initiatives.

FFO and AFFO are non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful to investors because they are widely accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs. We compute FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). FFO is defined as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, and gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate assets, adding back impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate assets, 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, joint ventures and preferred distributions. Because FFO calculations exclude such items as depreciation and amortization of depreciable real estate assets and gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), they facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs. As a result, the Company believes that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of the Company's performance relative to its competitors and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities. It should be noted, however, that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than the Company does, making comparisons less meaningful.
Additionally, the Company uses AFFO as a non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate the Company's operating performance. AFFO excludes non-routine and certain non-cash items such as revenues in excess of cash received, amortization of share-based compensation net, deferred rent, amortization of in-place lease valuation, acquisition-related costs, financed termination fee, net of payments received, gain or loss from the extinguishment of debt, unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, write-off transaction costs and other one-time transactions. FFO and AFFO have been revised to include amounts available to both common shareholders and limited partners for all periods presented.
AFFO is a measure used among the Company's peer group. The Company also believes that AFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the REIT industry. Further, the Company believes AFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of its operating performance with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies.
Management believes that AFFO is a beneficial indicator of its ongoing portfolio performance and ability to sustain its current distribution level. More specifically, AFFO isolates the financial results of the Company's operations. AFFO, however, is not considered an appropriate measure of historical earnings as it excludes certain significant costs that are otherwise included in reported earnings. Further, since the measure is based on historical financial information, AFFO for the period presented may not be indicative of future results or the Company's future ability to make or sustain distributions. By providing FFO and AFFO, the Company presents information that assists investors in aligning their analysis with management’s analysis of long-term operating activities.
For all of these reasons, the Company believes the non-GAAP measures of FFO and AFFO, in addition to net income (loss) are helpful supplemental performance measures and useful to investors in evaluating the performance of the Company's real estate portfolio. However, a material limitation associated with FFO and AFFO is that they are not indicative of the Company's cash available to fund distributions since other uses of cash, such as capital expenditures at the Company's properties and principal payments of debt, are not deducted when calculating FFO and AFFO. The use of AFFO as a measure of long-term operating performance on value is also limited if the Company does not continue to operate under its current business plan as noted above. FFO and AFFO should not be viewed as a more prominent measure of performance than net income (loss) and each should be reviewed in connection with GAAP measurements.
Neither the SEC, NAREIT, nor any other applicable regulatory body has opined on the acceptability of the adjustments contemplated to adjust FFO in order to calculate AFFO and its use as a non-GAAP performance measure. In the future, NAREIT may decide to standardize the allowable exclusions across the REIT industry, and the Company may have to adjust the calculation and characterization of this non-GAAP measure.

PEAKSTONE REALTY TRUST |
Net Operating Income, including Cash and Same Store Cash NOI |
(Unaudited; in thousands) |
Net operating income ("NOI”) is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as net (loss) income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, excluding equity in the earnings of our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment of real estate, gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt, gains or losses on sales of real estate, investment income or loss and termination income. Net operating income on a cash basis (“Cash NOI”) is net operating income adjusted to exclude the effect of straight-line rent and amortization of acquired above-and below market lease intangibles adjustments required by GAAP. Net operating income on a cash basis for our Same Store portfolio (“Same Store Cash NOI”) is Cash NOI for properties held for the entirety of all periods presented, with an adjustment for lease termination fees to provide a better measure of actual cash basis rental growth for our Same Store portfolio. We believe that NOI, Cash NOI and Same-Store Cash NOI are helpful to investors as additional measures of operating performance because we believe they help both investors and management to understand the core operations of our properties excluding corporate and financing-related costs and non-cash depreciation and amortization. NOI, Cash NOI and Same Store Cash NOI are unlevered operating performance metrics of our properties and allow for a useful comparison of the operating performance of individual assets or groups of assets. These measures thereby provide an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP income from operations or net income (loss). In addition, NOI, Cash NOI and Same Store Cash NOI are considered by many in the real estate industry to be useful starting points for determining the value of a real estate asset or group of assets. Because NOI, Cash NOI and Same Store Cash NOI exclude depreciation and amortization and capture neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and capitalized leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of NOI, Cash NOI and Same Store Cash NOI as measures of our performance is limited. Therefore, NOI, Cash NOI and Same Store Cash NOI should not be considered as alternatives to net (loss) income, as computed in accordance with GAAP. NOI, Cash NOI and Same Store Cash NOI may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Our calculation of each of NOI, Cash NOI and Same Store Cash NOI is presented in the following table for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (dollars in thousands):

Annualized Base Rent, Investment Grade, and Normalized EBITDAre |
“Annualized base rent” or “ABR” means the contractual base rent excluding abatement periods and deducting base year operating expenses for gross and modified gross leases as of December 31, 2023, unless otherwise specified, multiplied by 12 months. For properties in the Company's portfolio that had rent abatement periods as of December 31, 2023, we used the monthly contractual base rent payable following expiration of the abatement.
“Investment grade” means an investment grade credit rating from a NRSRO approved by the
“Normalized EBITDAre” is a non-GAAP supplemental performance measure to evaluate the operating performance of the Company. Normalized EBITDAre, as defined by the Company, represents EBITDAre (as defined by NAREIT), modified to exclude items such as acquisition-related expenses, employee separation expenses and other items that we believe are not indicative of the performance of our portfolio. Normalized EBITDAre also excludes the Normalized EBITDAre impact of properties sold during the period and extrapolate the operations of acquired properties to estimate a full quarter of ownership (in each case, as if such disposition or acquisition had occurred on the first day of the quarter). We may also exclude the annualizing of other large transaction items such as termination income recognized during the quarter. Management believes these adjustments to reconcile to Normalized EBITDAre provides investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with the performance models and analysis used by management and provides investors a view of the performance of our portfolio over time. However, because Normalized EBITDAre is calculated before recurring cash charges, including interest expense and income taxes, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of our business, its utility as a measure of our liquidity is limited. Therefore, Normalized EBITDAre should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as computed in accordance with GAAP. Normalized EBITDAre may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Please refer to the Supplemental Report for the definition of Normalized EBITDAre (Consolidated).
