  • New York Office leasing activity reached 1.32 million square feet at an initial rent of $131.37 per square foot.

  • Net income decreased to $35.26 million in Q2 2024 from $46.38 million in Q2 2023.
  • Adjusted FFO decreased to $112.77 million in Q2 2024 from $140.74 million in Q2 2023.
  • Net income for the first six months of 2024 decreased to $26.23 million from $51.55 million in the same period in 2023.

Insights

Vornado's Q2 2024 results show mixed performance. Net income decreased to $35.26 million ($0.18 per share) from $46.38 million ($0.24 per share) year-over-year. However, FFO increased slightly to $148.94 million ($0.76 per share) from $144.06 million ($0.74 per share).

The adjusted FFO of $0.57 per share for Q2 2024 was down significantly from $0.72 in Q2 2023, primarily due to lease expirations and the loss of a one-time tenant settlement. This 20.8% year-over-year decline in adjusted FFO is concerning and indicates challenges in the core business.

On a positive note, Vornado completed several refinancing transactions, including a $400 million refinancing of 640 Fifth Avenue at a fixed rate of 7.47%. The company also reported $31.6 million in proceeds from condo sales at 220 Central Park South. However, leasing activity remains mixed, with positive rent spreads in office but some weakness in retail and THE MART segments.

Vornado's Q2 results reflect ongoing challenges in the commercial real estate market, particularly in New York City. The occupancy rates are concerning, with New York office at 88.3% and retail at 77.0%. These figures suggest continued softness in demand for commercial space.

The company's same-store NOI declined by 9.0% year-over-year, with significant drops across all segments. This broad-based decline indicates persistent headwinds in the market. The 46.4% decrease in 555 California Street's NOI is particularly alarming, even accounting for a one-time tenant settlement in the prior year.

On a positive note, Vornado's leasing activity shows some resilience, with positive GAAP mark-to-market rents in New York office (+8.2%) and retail (+26.9%). However, the high tenant improvement costs, ranging from $6.54 to $12.56 per square foot annually, suggest that landlords are still offering significant concessions to attract and retain tenants in a competitive market.

Vornado's Q2 results present a mixed picture for investors. The decline in adjusted FFO and same-store NOI are red flags, indicating ongoing operational challenges. However, the company's active development pipeline, particularly in the PENN District, offers potential for future growth.

The PENN 2 redevelopment, with a $750 million budget and projected 9.5% cash yield, could be a significant catalyst if executed successfully. Similarly, the Sunset Pier 94 Studios project, targeting a 10.3% yield, demonstrates Vornado's efforts to diversify and capitalize on emerging opportunities.

Investors should closely monitor Vornado's ability to lease up these new developments and improve occupancy rates across its portfolio. The company's success in refinancing activities, such as the 280 Park Avenue and 640 Fifth Avenue transactions, demonstrates continued access to capital markets, which is important for funding ongoing projects and managing debt maturities.

Overall, while Vornado faces near-term headwinds, its strategic positioning in prime markets and development pipeline offer potential for long-term value creation. However, the path to recovery may be prolonged, requiring patience from investors.

Financing Activity

280 Park Avenue

On April 4, 2024, a joint venture, in which we have a 50% interest, amended and extended the $1,075,000,000 mortgage loan on 280 Park Avenue. The maturity date on the amended loan was extended to September 2026, with options to fully extend to September 2028, subject to certain conditions. The interest rate on the amended loan remains at SOFR plus 1.78%. On July 8, 2024, the joint venture swapped the interest rate to a fixed rate of 5.84% through September 2028. Additionally, on April 4, 2024, the joint venture amended and extended the $125,000,000 mezzanine loan, and subsequently repaid the loan for $62,500,000. In connection with the repayment of the mezzanine loan, we recognized our $31,215,000 share of the debt extinguishment gain which is included in “income from partially owned entities” on our consolidated statements of income.

435 Seventh Avenue

On April 9, 2024, we completed a $75,000,000 refinancing of 435 Seventh Avenue, of which $37,500,000 is recourse to the Operating Partnership. The interest-only loan bears a rate of SOFR plus 2.10% and matures in April 2028. The interest rate on the loan was swapped to a fixed rate of 6.96% through April 2026. The loan replaces the previous $95,696,000 fully recourse loan, which bore interest at SOFR plus 1.41%.

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

On May 3, 2024, we extended one of our two unsecured revolving credit facilities to April 2029 (as fully extended). The new $915,000,000 facility replaced the $1.25 billion facility that was due to mature in April 2026. The new facility currently bears interest at a rate of SOFR plus 1.20% with a facility fee of 25 basis points. Our $1.25 billion revolving credit facility matures in December 2027 (as fully extended) and has an interest rate of SOFR plus 1.15% and a facility fee of 25 basis points.

640 Fifth Avenue (Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV)

On June 10, 2024, the Fifth Avenue and Times Square JV completed a $400,000,000 refinancing of 640 Fifth Avenue. The non-recourse loan matures in July 2029, bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.47% and amortizes at $7,000,000 per annum. The loan replaces the previous $500,000,000 loan, which the joint venture paid down by $100,000,000. The previous loan was fully recourse to the Operating Partnership and bore interest at SOFR plus 1.11%.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we closed on the sale of two condominium units at 220 CPS for net proceeds of $31,605,000, resulting in a financial statement net gain of $15,175,000 which is included in "net gains on disposition of wholly owned and partially owned assets" on our consolidated statements of income.

FFO is computed in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude net gains from sales of certain real estate assets, 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, depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets and other specified items, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries. FFO and FFO per diluted share are non-GAAP financial measures used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a performance measure or cash flow as a liquidity measure. FFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition to FFO attributable to common shareholders plus assumed conversions, we also disclose FFO attributable to common shareholders plus assumed conversions, as adjusted. Although this non-GAAP measure clearly differs from NAREIT’s definition of FFO, we believe it provides a meaningful presentation of operating performance. Reconciliations of net income attributable to common shareholders to FFO attributable to common shareholders plus assumed conversions are provided on the following page. Reconciliations of FFO attributable to common shareholders plus assumed conversions to FFO attributable to common shareholders plus assumed conversions, as adjusted are provided on page 2 of this press release.

NOI at share represents total revenues less operating expenses including our share of partially owned entities. NOI at share - cash basis represents NOI at share adjusted to exclude straight-line rental income and expense, amortization of acquired below and above market leases, accruals for ground rent resets yet to be determined, and other non-cash adjustments. We consider NOI at share - cash basis to be the primary non-GAAP financial measure for making decisions and assessing the unlevered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on NOI at share - cash basis, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. NOI at share and NOI at share - cash basis should not be considered alternatives to net income or cash flow from operations and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
