Insights

Rexford Industrial's latest financial statement reflects a robust industrial market in Southern California, with net income and Core FFO reflecting growth compared to the previous year. This is indicative of a healthy industrial real estate sector, further emphasized by the impressive 17.3% comparable rental rates increase on a GAAP basis, which the company has reported. Investments in acquisitions have been strategic and substantial, potentially contributing to the company's future income streams given the projected initial and stabilized yields. The focus on infill locations, a strategy that typically involves redevelopment of urban spaces, may offer less volatility in occupancy rates and can command higher rents due to limited supply. However, investors should closely monitor the company's debt levels, despite its low-leverage position, especially regarding the terms and interest rates of recent note issuances given the potential for rate hikes. Dividend payouts are a signal of confidence in ongoing cash flow, but these too must be sustainable in the long run.

The company's operational strength, as seen in its occupancy rates and leasing activity, is a positive sign for investors looking at the industrial real estate sector. The strength in leasing spreads, both GAAP and cash, excluding the significant Tireco, Inc. lease extension, suggests strong pricing power and demand for Rexford's properties. The issuance of exchangeable senior notes demonstrates active capital management, which when coupled with the subsequent dividends announcement, balances reinvestment in growth with shareholder returns. The forward equity sale agreement is a strategic capital raising maneuver which could dilute shares but also provides capital for growth without immediate dilution. From a market perspective, the company's performance and guidance may be favorable but the sensitivity to interest rate changes and economic conditions should be closely watched as they can influence financing costs and investment yields.

Analyzing the forward-looking statements, Rexford's upward revision of its Core FFO guidance for 2024 can signal management's confidence in their operational efficiency and market conditions. The disclosure of non-cash equity compensation in the guidance is a reminder of the importance of looking at cash-based performance measures alongside GAAP figures. The increase in General and Administrative Expenses, notably tied to non-cash equity compensation, while a cost, can be a tool for aligning management with shareholder interests. However, it's important for investors to parse out these non-cash items to understand the true cash-generative capabilities of the company. The investor conference provides an opportunity for further transparency and insight into management's strategy, which can be valuable for investors as they assess the company's future performance against market expectations.

The original Tireco, Inc. lease expiration date was January 2025 and included a fixed rate renewal option. During the first quarter of 2024, the lease was extended through January 2027 at the current in-place rent and includes a 4% contractual rent increase in 2026 and two months of rent abatement. This lease extension was excluded for comparability purposes, in order to allow investors to make investment decisions based on our quarterly leasing statistics as compared to our prior periods.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company's Same Property Portfolio occupancy was 96.4%. Average Same Property Portfolio occupancy for the first quarter was 96.8%.

Transaction Activity:

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company completed $1.1 billion in total investments including 3.2 million square feet of buildings on 158 acres of land.

Subsequent to the first quarter of 2024, the Company acquired:

  • 4422 Airport Drive, Ontario, located in the Inland Empire - West submarket, for $26.7 million or $303 per square foot. The 88,283 square foot building is 100% leased to two tenants and is generating a 5.5% initial unlevered stabilized yield. According to CBRE, the vacancy rate in the 347 million square foot IE - West submarket was 5.1% at the end of the first quarter 2024.

In addition, the Company disposed of one property subsequent to the first quarter of 2024 for a sales price of $10.0 million, which generated a 13.3% unlevered IRR on investment.

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company stabilized two repositioning projects, including two spaces totaling 38,021 square feet, representing a total investment of $12.1 million. The projects achieved a weighted average unlevered stabilized yield on total investment of 10.8%.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $3.4 billion of outstanding debt, with an average interest rate of 3.8%, an average term-to-maturity of 4.2 years and no floating rate debt exposure.

Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," or "potential" or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. While forward-looking statements reflect the Company's good faith beliefs, assumptions and expectations, they are not guarantees of future performance. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industry in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described above.

Definitions / Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

Funds from Operations (FFO): We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, gains (or losses) from sales of assets incidental to our business, impairment losses of depreciable operating property or assets incidental to our business, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and amortization of above/below-market lease intangibles) and after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, other than temporary impairments of unconsolidated real estate entities, and impairment on our investment in real estate, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of performance used by other REITs, FFO may be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other equity REITs may not calculate or interpret FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition 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. FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance. A reconciliation of net income, the nearest GAAP equivalent, to FFO is set forth below in the Financial Statements and Reconciliations section. "Company Share of FFO" reflects FFO attributable to common stockholders, which excludes amounts allocable to noncontrolling interests, participating securities and preferred stockholders.

Core Funds from Operations (Core FFO): We calculate Core FFO by adjusting FFO for non-comparable items outlined in the "Reconciliation of Net Income to Funds From Operations and Core Funds From Operations" table which is located in the Financial Statements and Reconciliations section below. We believe that Core FFO is a useful supplemental measure and that by adjusting for items that are not considered by the Company to be part of its on-going operating performance, provides a more meaningful and consistent comparison of the Company's operating and financial performance period-over-period. Because these adjustments have a real economic impact on our financial condition and results from operations, the utility of Core FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other REITs may not calculate Core FFO in a consistent manner. Accordingly, our Core FFO may not be comparable to other REITs' Core FFO. Core FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance. "Company Share of Core FFO" reflects Core FFO attributable to common stockholders, which excludes amounts allocable to noncontrolling interests, participating securities and preferred stockholders.

The following is a reconciliation of the Company's 2024 guidance range of net income attributable to common stockholders per diluted share, the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure, to Company share of Core FFO per diluted share.

Net Operating Income (NOI): NOI is a non-GAAP measure, which includes the revenue and expense directly attributable to our real estate properties. NOI is calculated as rental income from real estate operations less property expenses (before interest expense, depreciation and amortization). We use NOI as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate depreciation and amortization expense and gains (or losses) from property dispositions, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that NOI will be useful to investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because NOI excludes depreciation and amortization expense and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties (all of which have a real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations), the utility of NOI as a measure of our performance is limited. Other equity REITs may not calculate NOI in a similar manner and, accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to such other REITs' NOI. Accordingly, NOI should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. NOI should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs.

NOI should not be used as a substitute for cash flow from operating activities in accordance with GAAP. We use NOI to help evaluate the performance of the Company as a whole, as well as the performance of our Same Property Portfolio. A calculation of NOI for our Same Property Portfolio, as well as a reconciliation of net income to NOI for our Same Property Portfolio, is set forth below in the Financial Statements and Reconciliations section.

Cash NOI: Cash NOI is a non-GAAP measure, which we calculate by adding or subtracting from NOI: (i) amortization of above/(below) market lease intangibles and amortization of other deferred rent resulting from sale leaseback transactions with below market leaseback payments and (ii) straight-line rent adjustments. We use Cash NOI, together with NOI, as a supplemental performance measure. Cash NOI should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs. Cash NOI should not be used as a substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP. We use Cash NOI to help evaluate the performance of the Company as a whole, as well as the performance of our Same Property Portfolio. A calculation of Cash NOI for our Same Property Portfolio, as well as a reconciliation of net income to Cash NOI for our Same Property Portfolio, is set forth below in the Financial Statements and Reconciliations section.

Same Property Portfolio: Our 2024 Same Property Portfolio is a subset of our consolidated portfolio and includes properties that were wholly owned by us for the period from January 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024, and excludes (i) properties that were acquired or sold during the period from January 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024, and (ii) properties acquired prior to January 1, 2023 that were or will be classified as repositioning/redevelopment (current and future) or lease-up during 2023 and 2024 and select buildings in "Other Repositioning," which we believe will significantly affect the properties' results during the comparative periods. As of March 31, 2024, our 2024 Same Property Portfolio consisted of buildings aggregating 37,109,867 rentable square feet at 296 of our properties.

Properties and Space Under Repositioning: Typically defined as properties or units where a significant amount of space is held vacant in order to implement capital improvements that improve the functionality (not including basic refurbishments, i.e., paint and carpet), cash flow and value of that space. A repositioning is generally considered complete once the investment is fully or nearly fully deployed and the property is available for occupancy. We consider a repositioning property to be stabilized at the earlier of the following: (i) upon reaching 90% occupancy or (ii) one year from the date of completion of repositioning construction work.

Net Debt to Enterprise Value: As of March 31, 2024, we had consolidated indebtedness of $3.4 billion, reflecting a net debt to enterprise value of approximately 20.9%. Our enterprise value is defined as the sum of the liquidation preference of our outstanding preferred stock and preferred units plus the market value of our common stock excluding shares of nonvested restricted stock, plus the aggregate value of common units not owned by us, plus the value of our net debt. Our net debt is defined as our consolidated indebtedness less cash and cash equivalents.
