Insights

Plymouth Industrial REIT's Q2 2024 results demonstrate solid performance in a challenging market. The company reported a net income of $0.03 per share, a significant improvement from the $0.08 loss per share in Q2 2023. This turnaround was primarily driven by favorable operating expenses and a gain on property disposition.

The Core FFO of $0.48 per share represents a 4.3% increase year-over-year, indicating improved operational efficiency. The same-store NOI growth of 3.3% on a GAAP basis and 9.7% on a cash basis reflects strong organic growth through effective leasing and property management.

Plymouth's leasing activity is particularly impressive, with commenced leases experiencing an 18.8% increase in rental rates on a cash basis. This robust rent growth, coupled with high occupancy rates (97% portfolio-wide and 98.2% for same-store properties), suggests strong demand for Plymouth's industrial assets.

The acquisition of a 14-building portfolio in Memphis for $100.5 million with an initial NOI yield of 8.0% appears to be a strategic move to enhance the company's presence in a key market. This acquisition, along with the potential for mark-to-market rent increases, could drive future NOI growth.

Plymouth's updated guidance for 2024, with Core FFO projected between $1.88 and $1.90 per share, indicates management's confidence in the company's performance for the remainder of the year. The projected same-store NOI growth of 7.0% to 7.5% on a cash basis further supports this positive outlook.

Overall, Plymouth's Q2 results and forward-looking guidance suggest a company well-positioned to capitalize on the strong industrial real estate market, with potential for continued growth in both revenue and profitability.

Plymouth Industrial REIT's Q2 2024 results offer valuable insights into the current state of the industrial real estate market. The strong leasing spreads, with new leases experiencing an 18.8% increase and renewals seeing a 19.5% increase on a cash basis, indicate robust demand for industrial space and potential for significant rent growth in the sector.

The company's ability to execute leases for 4.8 million square feet with a 15.7% increase in rental rates for 2024 suggests that the industrial market remains tight, with landlords maintaining strong pricing power. This trend is likely driven by ongoing e-commerce growth and supply chain reconfiguration efforts.

Plymouth's acquisition in Memphis at an 8.0% initial NOI yield is noteworthy. Memphis is a key logistics hub and this move could be strategic in capturing demand from companies seeking to optimize their distribution networks. The below-market rents in this portfolio also present an opportunity for Plymouth to drive NOI growth through mark-to-market increases.

The company's high occupancy rates (97% portfolio-wide and 98.2% for same-store properties) further underscore the strength of the industrial market. These figures suggest new supply relative to demand, which could continue to support rent growth in the near term.

However, it's important to note the potential headwinds. The slight decrease in total revenues year-over-year and the one-time write-off associated with a single tenant highlight the risks associated with tenant defaults or bankruptcies, which could increase in a slowing economy.

Overall, Plymouth's results paint a picture of a resilient industrial real estate market with strong fundamentals, but investors should remain vigilant about potential economic challenges that could impact tenant stability and demand.

Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2024
Net income attributable to common stockholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, was $1.2 million, or $0.03 per weighted average common share outstanding, compared with net loss attributable to common stockholders of $3.6 million, or $(0.08) per weighted average common share outstanding, for the same period in 2023. Net income improved year-over-year primarily due to favorable operating expenses driven by final fiscal year 2023 real estate tax billings in Chicago, a gain realized on the disposition of a single industrial building in Kansas City, Missouri, and decreased depreciation and amortization expense primarily driven by certain intangible assets being fully amortized, partially offset by a one-time write-off associated with a single tenant totaling approximately $1.1 million (comprising $0.9 million in GAAP rent adjustments). Weighted average common shares outstanding for the second quarters ended June 30, 2024, and 2023 were 45.0 million and 42.6 million, respectively.

Consolidated total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, were $48.7 million, compared with $49.9 million for the same period in 2023, primarily due to the aforementioned one-time write-off, coupled with lower average occupancy during the second quarter of 2024 compared with the second quarter of 2023, partially offset by scheduled rent steps and renewal rates.

NOI for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, was $35.1 million compared with $34.2 million for the same period in 2023. SS NOI excluding early termination income – GAAP basis for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, was $32.2 million compared with $31.2 million for the same period in 2023, an increase of 3.3%. SS NOI excluding early termination income – Cash basis for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, was $32.9 million compared with $30.0 million for the same period in 2023, an increase of 9.7%. SS NOI for the second quarter was positively impacted by rent escalations, renewal and new leasing spreads and a reduction of operating expenses primarily due to final fiscal year 2023 real estate tax billings in Chicago, partially offset by the one-time write-off mentioned above. The same store portfolio is comprised of 200 buildings totaling 31.2 million square feet, or 92.4% of the Company’s total portfolio and was 97.9% occupied as of June 30, 2024.

EBITDAre for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, was $31.2 million compared with $30.4 million for the same period in 2023.

Core FFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, was $21.8 million compared with $19.9 million for the same period in 2023, primarily due to the above impacts to NOI and the elimination of preferred stock dividends as a result of the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock completed in September 2023. The Company reported Core FFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, of $0.48 per weighted average common share and unit compared with $0.46 per weighted average common share and unit for the same period in 2023. Weighted average common shares and units outstanding for the second quarters ended June 30, 2024, and 2023 were 45.9 million and 43.5 million, respectively, due to the ATM activity during Q3 2023 as part of the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock.

AFFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, was $22.3 million, or $0.49 per weighted average common share and unit, compared with $18.5 million, or $0.42 per weighted average common share and unit, for the same period in 2023. The results reflected the aforementioned changes in Core FFO and a net decrease within straight line rent and above/below market lease rent adjustments, partially offset by the 5.4% increase in outstanding common shares.

Liquidity

As of July 29, 2024, the Company’s current cash balance was approximately $18.6 million, excluding operating expense escrows of approximately $6.4 million, and it has approximately $101.6 million of capacity under the existing unsecured line of credit.

Investment Activity

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had real estate investments comprised of 210 industrial buildings totaling 33.8 million square feet.

The final project in the first phase of Plymouth’s development program, a 52,920-square-foot, fully leased building in Jacksonville, is expected to come online in the fourth quarter of 2024. For the Company’s 154,692-square-foot industrial building in Cincinnati, Plymouth has agreed to terms with a prospect on the remaining 53,352 square feet. Once executed, this lease would bring the Company’s development program to 100% leased.

On July 18, 2024, Plymouth acquired a 1,621,241-square-foot portfolio of industrial properties located across the Southeast and Northeast submarkets of Memphis, Tennessee. The purchase price of $100.5 million equates to an initial NOI yield of 8.0%. The portfolio consists of 14 buildings that are currently 94% leased to 46 tenants with a weighted average remaining lease term of approximately 3.4 years. Existing contract rents are below market consistent with the Company’s targeted mark-to-market range of 18% to 20%, and the portfolio offers a parcel that can be utilized for potential future development of an incremental 115,000-square-foot building.

During the second quarter, Plymouth completed the disposition of its 221,911-square-foot industrial building in Kansas City, Missouri for approximately $9.2 million in proceeds, resulting in a net gain on sale of approximately $849,000. As previously disclosed, Plymouth expects the tenant occupying an industrial property located in Columbus, Ohio, to exercise its fixed purchase option of approximately $21.5 million by the end of August 2024. The Company expects to redeploy the proceeds from this sale to pay down outstanding debt on its credit facility from the Memphis portfolio acquisition.

Leasing Activity

Leases commencing during the second quarter ended June 30, 2024 totaled an aggregate of 1,811,939 square feet, all of which are associated with terms of at least six months. The Company will experience a 18.8% increase in rental rates on a cash basis from these leases. These leases included 1,610,786 square feet of renewal leases and 201,153 square feet of new leases. Total portfolio occupancy at June 30, 2024 was 97.0% and reflects recent new developments now in service. Same store occupancy at June 30, 2024 was 98.2%

Executed leases scheduled to commence during 2024, which includes the second quarter activity, total an aggregate of 4,804,999 square feet, all of which are associated with terms of at least six months. The Company will experience a 15.7% increase in rental rates on a cash basis from these leases. These leases, which represent 65.1% of its total 2024 expirations, included 3,711,719 square feet of renewal leases (27.4% of these leases were associated with contractual renewals) and 1,093,280 square feet of new leases, of which 137,090 square feet was vacant at the start of 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Definitions

Net Operating Income (NOI): We consider net operating income, or NOI, to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income in that it helps both investors and management understand the core operations of our properties. We define NOI as total revenue (including rental revenue and tenant reimbursements) less property-level operating expenses. NOI excludes depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, impairments, gain/loss on sale of real estate, interest expense, and other non-operating items.

EBITDAre: We define earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for real estate in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). EBITDAre represents net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, before interest expense, tax, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on the sale of rental property, appreciation (depreciation) of warrants, loss on impairments, and loss on extinguishment of debt. We believe that EBITDAre is helpful to investors as a supplemental measure of our operating performance as a real estate company as it is a direct measure of the actual operating results of our industrial properties.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”): Funds from operations, or FFO, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of a REIT’s operating performance, thereby, providing investors the potential to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. We consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of our operating performance as it is based on a net income analysis of property portfolio performance that excludes non-cash items such as depreciation. The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values rise and fall with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT, using historical accounting for depreciation, could be less informative. In December 2018, NAREIT issued a white paper restating the definition of FFO. The purpose of the restatement was not to change the fundamental definition of FFO, but to clarify existing NAREIT guidance. The restated definition of FFO is as follows: Net Income (Loss) (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) Gain 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 define FFO consistent with the NAREIT definition. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. Other equity REITs may not calculate FFO as we do, and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.

Core Funds from Operations (“Core FFO”): We calculate Core FFO by adjusting FFO for non-comparable items such as dividends paid (or declared) to holders of our preferred stock, acquisition and transaction related expenses for transactions not completed, and certain non-cash operating expenses such as impairment on real estate lease, appreciation/(depreciation) of warrants and loss on extinguishment of debt. We believe that Core FFO is a useful supplemental measure in addition to FFO by adjusting for items that are not considered by us to be part of the period-over-period operating performance of our property portfolio, thereby, providing a more meaningful and consistent comparison of our operating and financial performance during the periods presented. As with FFO, our reported Core FFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ Core FFO, should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.

Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”): Adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, is presented in addition to Core FFO. AFFO is defined as Core FFO, excluding certain non-cash operating revenues and expenses, capitalized interest and recurring capitalized expenditures. Recurring capitalized expenditures include expenditures required to maintain and re-tenant our properties, tenant improvements and leasing commissions. AFFO further adjusts Core FFO for certain other non-cash items, including the amortization or accretion of above or below market rents included in revenues, straight line rent adjustments, non-cash equity compensation and non-cash interest expense.

We believe AFFO provides a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance because it provides a consistent comparison of our operating performance across time periods that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of our properties. As a result, we believe that the use of AFFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provide a more complete understanding of our operating performance. As with Core FFO, our reported AFFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ AFFO, should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.
