Insights

Financial Analyst

Simon Property Group delivered strong Q3 2024 results with several positive indicators. Real Estate FFO increased 4.8% year-over-year to $3.05 per share, while portfolio NOI grew by 5.0%. The company's occupancy rate reached 96.2%, up 100 basis points from last year, with base minimum rent increasing 2.3% to $57.71 per square foot.

The dividend increase of 10.5% to $2.10 per share signals management's confidence in sustained cash flow generation. The company's robust liquidity position of $11.1 billion, including $3.0 billion in cash, provides significant financial flexibility. The successful $1.0 billion senior notes offering at 4.75% demonstrates strong market access, though at a higher cost than historical levels.

Real Estate Market Analyst

The operational metrics show resilience in Simon's premium retail portfolio. The $737 sales per square foot indicates strong consumer spending at their properties. The expansion strategy remains active with two significant openings - Tulsa Premium Outlets and Busan Premium Outlets expansion, demonstrating continued growth opportunities in both domestic and international markets.

The company's ability to secure non-recourse mortgage loans at 6.13% in the current high-rate environment reflects the quality of their assets. The reaffirmed guidance suggests stability in their core business model despite broader retail sector challenges, with management expecting FFO between $12.80 and $12.90 per share for 2024.

Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, the Company can give no assurance that its expectations will be attained, and it is possible that the Company's actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward–looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors.

The Company discusses these and other risks and uncertainties under the heading "Risk Factors" in its annual and quarterly periodic reports filed with the SEC.  The Company may update that discussion in subsequent other periodic reports, but except as required by law, the Company undertakes no duty or obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise.

Footnotes to Unaudited Financial Information
Notes:
(A)	Excess investment represents the unamortized difference of our investment over equity in the underlying net assets of the related partnerships and joint ventures shown therein.  The Company generally amortizes excess investment over the life of the related assets.
(B)	The Unaudited Joint Venture Combined Statements of Operations do not include any operations or our share of net income or excess investment amortization related to our investments in Klépierre, TRG and other platform investments.  Amounts included in Footnote D below exclude our share of related activity for our investments in Klépierre, TRG and other platform investments.  For further information on Klépierre, reference should be made to financial information in Klépierre's public filings and additional discussion and analysis in our Form 10-K.
(C)	This report contains measures of financial or operating performance that are not specifically defined by GAAP, including FFO, FFO per share, Real Estate FFO and Real Estate FFO per share.  FFO is a performance measure that is standard in the REIT business.  We believe FFO provides investors with additional information concerning our operating performance and a basis to compare our performance with those of other REITs.  We also use these measures internally to monitor the operating performance of our portfolio. Our computation of these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures reported by other REITs.
	We determine FFO based upon the definition set forth by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") Funds From Operations White Paper - 2018 Restatement. Our main business includes acquiring, owning, operating, developing, and redeveloping real estate in conjunction with the rental of retail real estate.  Gains and losses of assets incidental to our main business are included in FFO.  We determine FFO to be our share of consolidated net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization, excluding gains and losses from extraordinary items, excluding gains and losses from the sale, disposal or property insurance recoveries of, or any impairment related to, depreciable retail operating properties, plus the allocable portion of FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures based upon economic ownership interest, and all determined on a consistent basis in accordance with GAAP. However, you should understand that FFO does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of operating performance, and is not an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
(D)	Includes our share of:
-	Gain on land sales of $7.8 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $15.3 million and $7.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
-	Straight-line adjustments increased (decreased) income by $3.7 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and ($5.1) million and ($10.4) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
-	Amortization of fair market value of leases increased income by $0.1 million and $0.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $0.4 million and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
