Insights

Postal Realty Trust's Q2 2024 results demonstrate solid performance and growth. The company acquired 70 USPS properties for $28.3 million at a 7.6% capitalization rate, which is accretive to their portfolio. Revenue grew by 17% year-over-year, indicating strong top-line expansion.

The company's FFO of $6.5 million ($0.23 per diluted share) and AFFO of $7.5 million ($0.26 per diluted share) show healthy cash flow generation. With a 99.6% occupancy rate and 100% rent collection, PSTL's portfolio remains robust. The $0.24 quarterly dividend (6.7% yield at current price) appears well-covered by AFFO.

However, investors should note the relatively low net income of $0.8 million, which may raise questions about profitability after accounting for depreciation and amortization.

PSTL's strategy of focusing on USPS-leased properties continues to yield results. The weighted average cap rate of 7.6% on new acquisitions is attractive in the current market, especially considering the stability of the tenant. The company's ability to secure 3% annual rent escalations in new five-year leases is a positive sign for future organic growth.

The portfolio's weighted average rental rate of $9.67 per square foot shows room for potential upside, particularly in last-mile and flex properties ($11.78/sq ft). With $108 million available on their credit facility and a conservative 85% fixed-rate debt structure, PSTL is well-positioned for continued acquisitions.

However, investors should monitor the company's net debt of $272 million and its impact on future growth and financial flexibility. The focus on USPS properties also presents concentration risk, albeit with a stable government tenant.

CEDARHURST, N.Y., Aug. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Postal Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: PSTL) (the “Company”), an internally managed real estate investment trust that owns and manages over 1,950 properties leased primarily to the United States Postal Service (the “USPS”), ranging from last-mile post offices to industrial facilities, today announced results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Information

An explanation of certain non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release, including, FFO, AFFO and net debt, as well as reconciliations of those non-GAAP financial measures, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is included below.

The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition. NAREIT currently defines FFO as follows: net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control, and 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 an entity. Other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than the Company does and therefore the Company’s computation of FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs.

The Company calculates AFFO by starting with FFO and adjusting for recurring capital expenditures (defined as all capital expenditures and leasing costs that are recurring in nature, excluding expenditures that (i) are for items identified or existing at the time a property was acquired or contributed (including through the Company’s formation transactions), (ii) are part of a strategic plan intended to increase the value or revenue-generating ability of a property, (iii) are for replacements of roof or parking lots, (iv) are considered infrequent or extraordinary in nature, or (v) for casualty damage), acquisition-related expenses (defined as expenses that are incurred for investment purposes and business acquisitions and do not correlate with the ongoing operations of the Company’s existing portfolio, including due diligence costs for acquisitions not consummated and certain professional fees incurred that were directly related to completed acquisitions or dispositions and integration of acquired business) that are not capitalized, and certain other non-recurring expenses and then adding back non-cash items including: write-off and amortization of deferred financing fees, straight-line rent and other adjustments (including lump sum catch up amounts for increased rents, net of any lease incentives), fair value lease adjustments, income on insurance recoveries from casualties, non-real estate depreciation and amortization and non-cash components of compensation expense. AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that AFFO is widely used by other REITs and is helpful to investors as a meaningful additional measure of the Company’s ability to make capital investments. Other REITs may not define AFFO in the same manner as the Company does and therefore the Company’s calculation of AFFO may not be comparable to such other REITs.

The Company calculates its net debt as total debt less cash and property-related reserves. Net debt as of June 30, 2024 is calculated as total debt of approximately $275 million less cash and property-related reserves of approximately $3 million.

These metrics are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be viewed as an alternative measurement of the Company’s operating performance to net income. Management believes that accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes 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 the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. As a result, the Company believes that the additive use of FFO and AFFO, together with the required GAAP presentation, is widely-used by the Company’s competitors and other REITs and provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s performance and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make investment decisions.
