Presidio Property Trust (PPT) reported significant details that investors should note. First and foremost, the
The increase in total revenues to
Short-term, the stock may face pressure due to the increasing losses and investment revaluation. Long-term, stability in lease expirations and a proactive leasing strategy could stabilize revenues, but risk factors remain high.
Commercial lease stability is a important indicator for REITs like Presidio Property Trust. The company signed leasing transactions totaling 24,476 square feet, which is promising. The reduction in lease expirations scheduled for 2024, nearly half of 2023 levels, offers a more stable rent roll. This could benefit cash flows and operational stability in uncertain real estate markets. Nonetheless, the net loss and impairment charges on model homes raise red flags regarding asset management efficiency.
The sale of 27 model homes generating a
Looking ahead, minimizing unscheduled vacancies and maintaining or increasing leasing activity will be key for sustained growth. However, the broader market's unpredictability remains a significant concern for long-term investors.
SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 14, 2024 / Presidio Property Trust, Inc. (NASDAQ:SQFT)(NASDAQ:SQFTP)(NASDAQ:SQFTW) (the "Company"), an internally managed, diversified real estate investment trust ("REIT"), today reported earnings for its quarter ended March 31, 2024.
"During the first quarter of 2024, we have signed leasing transactions totaling 24,476 sf, including new leases and renewals. We believe 2024 is off to a good start. With currently scheduled lease expirations during 2024 at a level nearly one-half of that during 2023, there is good reason to anticipate that our rent roll will be more stable through the end of the year, even considering this period of uncertainty in the commercial real estate markets, " said Gary Katz, the Company's Chief Investment Officer

About Presidio Property Trust
Presidio is an internally managed, diversified REIT with holdings in model home properties which are triple-net leased to homebuilders, office, industrial, and retail properties. Presidio's model homes are leased to homebuilders located in Arizona, Illinois, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida. Our office, industrial and retail properties are located primarily in Colorado, with properties also located in Maryland, North Dakota, Texas, and Southern California. While geographical clustering of real estate enables us to reduce our operating costs through economies of scale by servicing several properties with less staff, it makes us susceptible to changing market conditions in these discrete geographic areas, including those that have developed as a result of COVID-19.

Definitions
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Funds from Operations ("FFO") - The Company evaluates performance based on Funds From Operations, which we refer to as FFO, as management believes that FFO represents the most accurate measure of activity and is the basis for distributions paid to equity holders. The Company defines FFO as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, hedge ineffectiveness, acquisition costs of newly acquired properties that are not capitalized and lease acquisition costs that are not capitalized plus depreciation and amortization, including amortization of acquired above and below market lease intangibles and impairment charges on properties or investments in non-consolidated REITs, and after adjustments to exclude equity in income or losses from, and, to include the proportionate share of FFO from, non-consolidated REITs.
However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization as well as the changes in the value of the Company's properties that result from use or market conditions, each of which have real economic effects and could materially impact the Company's results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of the Company's performance is limited. In addition, other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition as the Company does, and, accordingly, the Company's FFO may not be comparable to other REITs' FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of the Company's performance.
Core Funds from Operations ("Core FFO") - We calculate Core FFO by using FFO as defined by NAREIT and adjusting for certain other non-core items. We exclude from our Core FFO calculation acquisition costs, loss on early extinguishment of debt, changes in the fair value of the earn-out, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, non-cash warrant dividends and the amortization of stock-based compensation.
We believe Core FFO provides a useful metric in comparing operations between reporting periods and in assessing the sustainability of our ongoing operating performance. Other equity REITs may calculate Core FFO differently or not at all, and, accordingly, the Company's Core FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs' Core FFO.
