Executes 1.1 Million SF of Leases in Q4 for a Total of 5.7 Million SF Leased in 2022

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 31, 2023-- BXP (NYSE: BXP), the largest publicly traded developer, owner, and manager of premier workplaces in the United States, reported results today for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.

Financial highlights for the fourth quarter include:

• Revenue increased 8.0% to $789.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, as compared to $731.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021.
• Net income attributable to common shareholders of $121.8 million, or $0.78 per diluted share (EPS), for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to $184.5 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2021.
• Funds from Operations (FFO) of $292.9 million, or $1.86 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to FFO of $243.0 million, or $1.55 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2021.
• EPS for the fourth quarter fell short of the mid-point of BXP’s guidance by $0.16 primarily due to a $0.29 per diluted share non-cash impairment charge related to BXP’s investment in Dock 72 in Brooklyn, New York, in which BXP has a 50% interest.
• FFO per diluted share exceeded the mid-point of BXP’s guidance by $0.01 due to portfolio outperformance.

BXP also provided updated guidance for first quarter 2023 EPS of $0.52 - $0.54 and FFO of $1.66 - $1.68 per diluted share, and full year 2023 EPS of $2.36 - $2.46 and FFO of $7.08 - $7.18 per diluted share.

The mid-point of the updated guidance for full year 2023 EPS is projected to be $0.07 per share greater than the guidance provided on October 25, 2022, primarily due to decreased depreciation and amortization expense. The mid-point of the updated guidance for full year 2023 FFO per diluted share is projected to be $0.09 per share lower on a net basis than the guidance provided on October 25, 2022.

The items that positively impact BXP’s updated 2023 guidance range include:

• Greater projected contributions from acquisitions and development activities;
• Lower net interest expense from greater earnings on cash balances and greater capitalized interest; and
• Additional projected development and management services income.

These three items aggregate $0.06 per share of greater EPS and FFO per diluted share than in BXP’s October 25, 2022 guidance for full year 2023.

This is offset by $0.15 per share of lower projected EPS and FFO per diluted share, which was not originally included in BXP’s October 25, 2022 full year 2023 guidance, as a result of:

• the closure and demolition of a 1,132 space parking facility to allow for the commencement of development of 290 Binney Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which is 100% pre-leased to AstraZeneca and
• the incremental net interest expense associated with BXP’s operating partnership’s -Boston Properties Limited Partnership (“BPLP”) $750 million senior unsecured notes offering, which closed on November 7, 2022.

See “EPS and FFO per Share Guidance” below.

Fourth quarter and recent business highlights include:

• Executed approximately 1.1 million square feet of leases having a weighted-average lease term of 7.8 years.
• Fully placed in-service two projects:
  • Reston Next, a premier workplace project consisting of two buildings totaling approximately 1.1 million square feet, located in Reston, Virginia. Including leases that have not yet commenced, this project is 90% leased.
  • 880 Winter Street, an approximately 244,000 square foot laboratory/life sciences project located in Waltham, Massachusetts. Including leases that have not yet commenced, this project is currently 97% leased.

BXP’s occupancy declined by 30 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2022 to 88.6%, primarily due to fully placing in-service Reston Next and 880 Winter Street, which have leases for which revenue recognition has not commenced in accordance with GAAP. Excluding the impact of placing these two properties in-service, occupancy would have increased in the fourth quarter of 2022 by 20 basis points to 89.1%.

• Commenced the redevelopment of 105 Carnegie Center, located in Princeton, New Jersey. 105 Carnegie Center is currently a 70,000 square foot property that will be redeveloped into an approximately 73,000 square foot laboratory/life sciences space.
• Completed the acquisition of an approximate 27% interest in the joint venture that owns 200 Fifth Avenue for a gross purchase price of approximately $280.1 million, which includes $120.1 million of cash and BXP’s pro rata share of the outstanding loan secured by the property of $160.0 million. 200 Fifth Avenue is a 14-story, approximately 855,000 square-foot, LEED Gold certified, premier workplace located in the Midtown South submarket of Manhattan, New York that is approximately 93% leased. BXP serves as the managing member and provides customary leasing and property management services for the joint venture.
• Completed the disposition of the residential component of The Avant at Reston Town Center, located in Reston, Virginia, for a gross sale price of $141.0 million. Net cash proceeds totaled approximately $139.6 million, resulting in a gain on sale of real estate of approximately $55.6 million. The Avant is a 15-story, approximately 329,000 square foot, 359-unit, luxury multifamily building. BXP retained ownership of the approximately 26,000 square foot ground-level retail space.
• BPLP completed a green bond offering of $750.0 million of 6.750% unsecured senior notes due December 2027. The aggregate net proceeds from the offering were approximately $743.5 million after deducting underwriting discounts and transaction expenses.
• On January 4, 2023, BPLP closed on a $1.2 billion unsecured term loan facility that matures in May 2024, with one, twelve-month extension option subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions. As of January 4, 2023, the term loan bore interest at a variable rate equal to adjusted Term SOFR plus 0.85% per annum. A portion of the proceeds were used to repay in full BPLP’s $730.0 million term loan that was scheduled to mature in May 2023, resulting in incremental proceeds of approximately $466.0 million.
• In January 2023, BXP commenced the development of 290 Binney Street, an approximately 570,000 net rentable square foot laboratory/life sciences project in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Concurrently with the commencement of this project, BXP removed from service and began demolition of the existing Kendall Center Blue Parking Garage to support the development of this project. 290 Binney Street is 100% pre-leased to AstraZeneca.
• Earned national recognition as an industry leader and furthered BXP’s commitments to ESG and sustainability performance:
  • Awarded Nareit’s 2022 Leader in the Light Award in the office property sector. This award is the highest achievement for Office REITs and acknowledges BXP’s leadership in demonstrating outstanding sustainability practices throughout the year.
  • Named to Newsweek’s list of America’s Most Responsible Companies for 2023. BXP ranked first in the Real Estate & Housing industry with an increased ranking of 29th overall out of the 500 companies included and had the third highest environmental score.
  • Named to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) North America for 2022, its second consecutive year in the highly selective index. BXP was one of eight real estate companies that qualified.

Financial highlights for the year ended December 31, 2022 include:

• Net income attributable to common shareholders of $848.9 million, or $5.40 per diluted share (EPS) for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $496.2 million, or $3.17 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2021.
• Funds from Operations (FFO) of $1.2 billion, or $7.53 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to FFO of $1.0 billion , or $6.56 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2021.

EPS and FFO per Share Guidance:

BXP’s guidance for the first quarter 2023 and full year 2023 for EPS (diluted) and FFO per share (diluted) is set forth and reconciled below. Except as described below, the estimates reflect management’s view of current and future market conditions, including assumptions with respect to rental rates, occupancy levels, interest rates, the timing of the lease-up of available space, the timing of development cost outlays and development deliveries, and the earnings impact of the events referenced in this release and those referenced during the related conference call. The estimates do not include (1) possible future gains or losses or the impact on operating results from other possible future property acquisitions or dispositions, (2) the impacts of any other capital markets activity, (3) future write-offs or reinstatements of accounts receivable and accrued rent balances, or (4) future impairment charges. EPS estimates may be subject to fluctuations as a result of several factors, including changes in the recognition of depreciation and amortization expense, impairment losses on depreciable real estate, and any gains or losses associated with disposition activity. BXP is not able to assess at this time the potential impact of these factors on projected EPS. By definition, FFO does not include real estate-related depreciation and amortization, impairment losses on depreciable real estate, or gains or losses associated with disposition activities. There can be no assurance that BXP’s actual results will not differ materially from the estimates set forth below.

				First Quarter 2023						Full Year 2023
				Low			High			Low			High
Projected EPS (diluted)				$	0.52		$	0.54		$	2.36		$	2.46

(1)	Pursuant to the revised definition of Funds from Operations adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”), we calculate Funds from Operations, or “FFO,” by adjusting net income (loss) attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. common shareholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) for gains (or losses) from sales of properties, impairment losses on depreciable real estate consolidated on our balance sheet, impairment losses on our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures driven by a measurable decrease in the fair value of depreciable real estate held by the unconsolidated joint ventures and real estate-related depreciation and amortization. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure, but we believe the presentation of FFO, combined with the presentation of required GAAP financial measures, has improved the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and has helped make comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Management generally considers FFO and FFO per share to be useful measures for understanding and comparing our operating results because, by excluding gains and losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, impairment losses and real estate asset depreciation and amortization (which can differ across owners of similar assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates), FFO and FFO per share can help investors compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate across reporting periods and to the operating performance of other companies.
	Our calculation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies that do not define the term in accordance with the current Nareit definition or that interpret the current Nareit definition differently.
	In order to facilitate a clear understanding of the Company’s operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. common shareholders as presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. FFO should not be considered as a substitute for net income attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. common shareholders (determined in accordance with GAAP) or any other GAAP financial measures and should only be considered together with and as a supplement to the Company’s financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
