BXP Announces Second Quarter 2023 Results; Reports Q2 EPS of $0.66 and FFO Per Share of $1.86

August 1, 2023

Exceeded Q2 Guidance for EPS and FFO; Executed Approximately 938,000 SF of Leases in Q2; and Opened the Highly Anticipated View Boston Observation Deck Experience

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 1, 2023-- BXP (NYSE: BXP), the largest publicly traded developer, owner, and manager of premier workplaces in the United States, reported results today for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Financial highlights for the second quarter include:

  • Revenue increased 5.6% to $817.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $773.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
  • Net income attributable to common shareholders of $104.3 million, or $0.66 per diluted share (EPS), for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to $223.0 million, or $1.42 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The decrease compared to Q2 2022 is primarily due to:
    • $96.2 million of higher gains on sales recorded in Q2 2022;
    • greater depreciation and amortization expense of $19.4 million in Q2 2023 primarily due to asset acquisitions in Q2 and Q3 of 2022; and
    • higher interest expenses, net of an increase in interest income, of $22.2 million;
    • offset by higher contributions from portfolio operations of approximately $19.4 million in Q2 2023.
  • Funds from Operations (FFO) of $292.8 million, or $1.86 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to FFO of $304.6 million, or $1.94 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The decrease compared to Q2 2022 is primarily due to higher interest expenses, net of an increase in interest income, of $22.2 million, partially offset by higher contributions from portfolio operations of approximately $19.4 million.
  • Both EPS and FFO per share exceeded the mid-points of BXP’s guidance by $0.06 per share, as a result of better-than-projected portfolio performance. The portfolio outperformance was partially due to lower-than-projected operating expenses.

BXP also provided updated guidance for third quarter 2023 EPS of $0.63 - $0.65 and FFO of $1.83 - $1.85 per diluted share, and full year 2023 EPS of $2.42 - $2.47 and FFO of $7.24 - $7.29 per diluted share.

See “EPS and FFO per Share Guidance” below.

Second quarter and recent business highlights include:

  • Executed approximately 938,000 square feet of leases with a weighted-average lease term of 8.0 years.
  • Opened View Boston, the highly anticipated observation deck encompassing the top three floors of the Prudential Tower in Boston, MA. The 63,000 square-foot experience provides a unique opportunity to enjoy 360-degree panoramic views of the city, bites at the Stratus cocktail bar and The Beacon bistro, and interactive state-of-the-art immersive exhibits that showcase Boston's many neighborhoods and cultural landmarks.
  • Completed and fully placed in-service 2100 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., an approximately 476,000 square foot premier workplace that is approximately 62% occupied and approximately 91% leased (including vacant space for which we have signed leases that have not yet commenced in accordance with GAAP).
  • A joint venture in which BXP has a 55% interest elected to pause vertical construction on the first phase of Platform 16 in San Jose, CA. Platform 16 was planned to be constructed in phases to best accommodate market demand. Completion of the underground parking garage and building foundation elements will take place over the next several months to ensure that the project is positioned to mobilize quickly as demand improves.
  • A joint venture in which BXP has a 50% interest exercised an option to extend by one year the maturity date of its $252.6 million construction loan collateralized by its 7750 Wisconsin Avenue property. The completed 734,000 square foot build-to-suit, premier workplace is located in Bethesda, Maryland and is 100% leased to an affiliate of Marriott International, Inc. The loan bears interest at a variable rate equal to Term SOFR plus 1.35% per annum and now matures on April 26, 2024, with a one-year extension option, subject to certain conditions.
  • Boston Properties Limited Partnership (“BPLP”) entered into four interest rate swap contracts with notional amounts aggregating $1.2 billion. BPLP entered into these interest rate swap contracts to reduce its exposure to the variability in future cash flows attributable to changes in the interest rate on its 2023 Unsecured Term Loan. These interest rate swaps were entered into to fix Term SOFR, the reference rate for the Unsecured Term Loan, at a weighted-average rate of 4.6420% for the period commencing on May 4, 2023 and ending on May 16, 2024.
  • BPLP completed a public offering of $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.500% unsecured senior notes due 2034. The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $741.3 million after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated transaction expenses.
  • A joint venture in which BXP has a 30% interest repaid an outstanding $105.0 million loan collateralized by the property located at 500 North Capitol Street, NW, in Washington, DC with the proceeds of a new loan evidenced by two promissory notes totaling $105.0 million that bears interest at an aggregate, weighted-average fixed rate of 6.83% per annum and matures on June 5, 2026. 500 North Capitol Street, NW is a 231,000 square foot premier workplace in Washington, DC that is 99% leased.
  • In July 2023, completed the redevelopment and fully placed in-service 140 Kendrick Street - Building A in Needham, Massachusetts. The property is 100% leased and is the first Net Zero, Carbon Neutral office repositioning of this scale in Massachusetts.
  • On July 28, 2023, BXP entered into a joint venture agreement with an institutional investor for the future development of 343 Madison Avenue located on Madison Avenue between 44th and 45th Streets in New York City, New York adjacent to Grand Central Station. BXP owns a 55% interest in the venture and its partner owns a 45% interest, and BXP will provide customary development, property management, and leasing services. The 343 Madison Avenue project contemplates the construction of (1) a direct entrance to the Long Island Railroad’s new east side access project (Grand Central Madison) (“Phase 1”) and (2) an approximately 900,000 square foot premier workplace building with ground floor retail (“Phase 2”). Subsequently, on August 1, 2023, the joint venture executed a 99-year ground lease with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority for the approximately 25,000 square foot site. The ground lease requires the joint venture to construct the direct access to Grand Central Madison as Phase 1 of the development project. The joint venture has the option until July 31, 2025 to terminate the ground lease prior to construction of the new building and receive reimbursement for the cost of the construction of access to Grand Central Station. There can be no assurance that Phase 1 will be completed on the terms currently contemplated or that Phase 2 of the development project will commence on the terms currently contemplated or at all.
  • On July 28, 2023, a joint venture in which BXP has a 50% interest exercised an option to extend by one year the maturity date of its loan collateralized by 100 Causeway in Boston, Massachusetts. The 634,000 square foot premier workplace is located in Boston, MA and is 95% leased. The modified and extended loan has an outstanding balance of $336.6 million, which included an approximately $4.0 million principal repayment and the interest rate was reduced from Term SOFR plus 1.60% to Term SOFR plus 1.48% per annum. The loan now matures on September 5, 2024, with a one-year extension option, subject to certain conditions.
  • After 25 years leading the San Francisco region for BXP, Bob Pester has elected to retire from his position as Executive Vice President in early 2024. Rod Diehl, currently Senior Vice President, Leasing for the San Francisco region, will succeed Mr. Pester upon his retirement. As part of this transition, BXP will reorganize West Coast operations for the San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Seattle regions under one management structure, effective immediately. Messrs. Pester and Diehl will jointly lead West Coast operations with Mr. Pester transitioning duties to Mr. Diehl over the months ahead. BXP will continue to maintain its regional presence in Los Angeles and Seattle.
  • Effective July 28, 2023, BXP’s independent directors appointed Joel I. Klein to serve as the lead independent director, replacing Kelly A. Ayotte. Ms. Ayotte stepped down as the lead independent director due to the additional time commitment and responsibilities of that role, and the independent directors determined that it is in the best interests of BXP and its stockholders that Mr. Klein once again assume that role. Ms. Ayotte served as BXP’s lead independent director since May 2022 and will remain on BXP’s Board of Directors. Mr. Klein previously served as BXP’s lead independent director from May 2016 to May 2019 and as its independent Chairman from May 2019 to May 2022.
  • Continued BXP’s leadership and ongoing commitment to sustainability and published BXP’s 2022 ESG Report in conjunction with Earth Day in April 2023, which highlights that, among other things, BXP achieved its energy and water reduction targets in 2022 and remains on track to achieve carbon-neutral operations by 2025. In conjunction with the publication, BXP hosted its second annual ESG Investor Update Webcast on May 31, 2023.

The reported results are unaudited and there can be no assurance that these reported results will not vary from the final information for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. In the opinion of management, BXP has made all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of these reported results.

EPS and FFO per Share Guidance:

BXP’s guidance for the third 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.

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. (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. 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. (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.
