● |
During 2019, approximately 86% of the aggregate amount of the Company’s consolidated revenues and the Company’s share of revenues from unconsolidated joint ventures, were derived from office leases, 6% of these revenues were derived from retail leases and the remainder were primarily derived from residential leases, parking, the Company’s hotel property and development and management services. |
● |
For the month of April, as of April 28, 2020, the Company had collected 95% of its total commercial rent payments due April 1 from office tenants. As a result of the impact of the current environment, the Company expects a reduction from its prior revenue expectations as a result of the slowdown in new leasing activity for vacant and expiring space and the impact of construction delays on the Company’s revenue recognition related to tenants who are currently building out space. |
● |
As of April 28, 2020, the Company had collected 35% of its total commercial rent payments due in April from retail tenants. The Company is actively working on lease amendments with retail tenants in this category that the Company believes have justifiable financial needs. The Company is considering a number of alternative structures, but expects most amendments to provide for relief from the requirement to pay cash rent for a period of time followed by a future increase in rent, an extension of the term of the lease or both. The result of any such amendments is expected to be a loss of near-term cash revenue from these leases but a less significant impact on GAAP revenues due to the expected straightlining of lease revenues for those tenants the Company believes will resume operations. |
● |
Parking revenue generally consists of two primary components: revenue from monthly passes and hourly/daily parking revenue. During 2019, total parking revenue for the Company was approximately $100 million and the Company’s share of total parking revenue from unconsolidated joint ventures was approximately $13 million. Approximately $40 million of this aggregate amount of consolidated and unconsolidated parking revenue was derived from hourly/daily parking. In April, with stay-at-home orders and business closures, the Company generated minimal hourly/daily parking revenue and this trend may continue for as long as these stay-at-home orders and business closures continue. Some of the Company’s monthly parking revenues are contractual agreements embedded in its leases, and some are at will individual agreements. |
● |
The Company’s Boston Marriott Cambridge hotel property has been closed since March 22, 2020, and the hotel is currently running at a monthly deficit. It is unclear when the hotel will open. |
● |
a complete or partial closure of, or other operational issues at, one or more of our properties resulting from government or tenant action, which could adversely affect our operations and those of our tenants; |
● |
reduced economic activity impacting the businesses, financial condition and liquidity of our tenants has caused, and is expected to continue to cause, one or more of our tenants to be unable to meet their obligations to us, including their ability to make rental payments, in full or at all, or to otherwise seek modifications of such obligations, including rent concessions, deferrals or abatements, or to declare bankruptcy; |
● |
the failure of our tenants to properly implement or deploy their business continuity plans, or if those plans are ineffective, it could have a material adverse effect on our tenants’ businesses and their ability to pay rent; |
● |
the impact of new or continued complete or partial shutdowns of the operations of one or more of our tenants’ businesses, including office, hotel and retail tenants, and parking operators, temporary or long-term disruptions in our tenants’ supply chains from local, national and international suppliers or delays in the delivery of products, services or other materials necessary for our tenants’ operations, could force our tenants to reduce, delay or eliminate offerings of their products and services, which could result in less revenue, income and cash flow, and possibly their bankruptcy or insolvency, which in turn could: |
o | reduce our cash flows, |
o | adversely impact our ability to finance, refinance or sell a property, |
o | adversely impact our ability to continue paying dividends to our stockholders at current levels, or at all, and |
o | result in additional legal and other costs to enforce our rights, collect rent and/or re-lease the space occupied by the distressed tenant; |
● |
the duration and scope of the mandatory business closures and “stay-at-home” orders have had, and are expected to continue to have, a severe negative impact on our retail tenants that depend on in-person interactions with their customers to generate revenues and have resulted, and are expected to continue to result, in most retail tenants being unable to make timely rental payments in full or at all; |
● |
the extent to which COVID-19 decreases customers’ willingness to frequent, or prevents customers from frequenting, our tenants’ businesses in the future, may result in our retail tenants’ continued inability to make timely rental payments to us under their leases; |
● |
many of our retail and some of our office tenants have approached us seeking either rent concessions, deferrals or abatements, and the extent to which we grant these requests or instead seek to enforce our legal remedies could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, liquidity and cash flows; |
● |
the degree to which our tenants’ businesses have been and continue to be negatively impacted may require us to write-off a tenant’s accrued rent balance and this could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity; |
● |
if new or existing actions or measures implemented to prevent the spread of COVID-19 continue to result in increasing unemployment, it may negatively affect the ability of our residential tenants to generate sufficient income to pay, or make them unwilling to pay rent, in full or at all, in a timely manner; |
● |
the impact of prolonged restrictions on freedom of movement and business operations, such as travel bans, business closures and “stay-at-home” orders have had, and are expected to continue to have, a material adverse effect on the operators of our parking garages and our hotel property, which negatively impacts our revenues and may also result in a decrease in demand for hotel stays even after the travel bans and other restrictions are lifted; |
● |
our failure, or that of any of our joint venture partners’, to meet our or their, as applicable, responsibilities or obligations to the other or to third parties, such as lenders, including a failure to contribute additional capital needed by the ventures or a default by a party under a joint venture agreement or other agreement relating to a joint venture, each of which, in our case, could result in dilution of our interest or a loss of our management and other rights relating to our joint ventures, and in the case of a joint venture partner, could result in our payment of the partner’s share of the additional capital; |
● |
the impact of COVID-19 could result in an event or change in circumstances that results in an impairment in the value of our properties or our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, and any such impairment could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the periods in which the charge is taken; |
● |
we may be unable to restructure or amend leases with certain of our tenants on terms favorable to us or at all; |
● |
the impact and validity of interpretations of lease provisions and related claims by tenants regarding their obligations to pay rent as a result of COVID-19, and any court rulings or decisions interpreting these provisions, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity; |
● |
restrictions intended to prevent the spread of COVID-19 have limited, and are expected to continue to limit, our leasing activities, such as property tours, and may have a material adverse effect on our ability to renew leases, lease vacant space or re-lease available space as leases expire in our properties on favorable terms, or at all; |
● |
COVID 19 has caused a material decline in general business activity and demand for real estate transactions, and if this persists, it would adversely affect our ability or desire to make strategic acquisitions or dispositions; |
● |
the impact of recent and future efforts by state, local, federal and industry groups to enact laws and regulations have restricted, and may further restrict, the ability of landlords, such as us, to collect rent, enforce remedies for the failure to pay rent, or otherwise enforce the terms of the lease agreements, such as a rent freeze for tenants or a suspension of a landlord’s ability to enforce evictions; |
● |
the extent of construction delays on our development/redevelopment projects due to work-stoppage orders, disruptions in the supply of materials, delays in permitting or inspections, or other factors could result in our failure to meet the development milestones set forth in any applicable lease agreement, which could provide the tenant the right to terminate its lease or entitle the tenant to monetary damages, delay the commencement or completion of construction and our anticipated lease-up plans for a development/redevelopment project or our overall development pipeline, including recognizing revenue for new leases, that may cause returns on investment to be less than projected, and/or increase the costs of construction of new or existing projects, any of which could adversely affect our investment returns, profitability and/or our future growth; |
● |
we may be unable to access debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all, and a further disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions may affect our tenants’ and our access to capital and other sources of funding necessary to fund our respective operations or address maturing liabilities on a timely basis; |
● |
the financial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future financial results, cash flows and financial condition could adversely impact our compliance with the financial covenants of our credit facility and other debt agreements and could result in an event of default and the acceleration of indebtedness, which could negatively impact our financial condition, results of operations and our ability to make additional borrowings and pay dividends; |
● |
adaptions made by companies in response to “stay-at-home” orders and future limitations on in-person work environments could lead to a sustained shift away from collective in-person work environments and adversely affect the overall demand for office space across our portfolio over the long term; |
● |
the effectiveness or lack of effectiveness of governmental relief in providing assistance to large and small businesses, including some of our tenants, that have suffered significant declines in revenues as a result of mandatory business shut-downs, “stay-at-home” orders and social distancing practices, and the potential for a prolonged, severe recession, could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations; |
● |
increased vulnerability to cyber-security threats and potential breaches, including phishing attacks, malware and impersonation tactics, resulting from the increase in numbers of individuals working from home; |
● |
the potential that business interruption, loss of rental income and/or other associated expenses related to our operations will not be covered in whole or in part by our insurance policies, which may increase unreimbursed liabilities; |
● |
if the health of our employees, particularly our key personnel and property management teams, are negatively impacted, we may be unable to ensure business continuity and be exposed to lawsuits from tenants; |
● |
if we choose to pay dividends in our stock instead of cash, our stockholders may have to pay income taxes on the dividends without receiving a corresponding amount of cash; |
● |
uncertainly as to what conditions must be satisfied before government authorities lift “stay-at-home” orders and public health officials begin the process of gradually returning Americans to work and whether government authorities will impose (or suggest) requirements on landlords, such as us, to protect the health and safety of tenants and visitors to our buildings could result in increased operating costs and demands on our property management teams to ensure compliance with any such requirements, as well as increased |
costs associated with protecting against potential liability arising from these measures, such as claims by tenants that the measures violate their leases and claims by visitors that the measures caused them damages; and |
● |
limited access to our facilities, management, tenants, support staff and professional advisors could decrease the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, internal controls over financial reporting and other risk mitigation strategies, increase our susceptibility to security breaches, hamper our ability to comply with regulatory obligations and prevent us from conducting our business as efficiently and effectively as we otherwise would have. |

Exhibit 99.1
On April 28, 2020, Boston Properties, Inc. (the Company or Boston Properties) reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.
Financial highlights for the first quarter 2020 (unaudited) include:
| Revenue grew 4% to $752.6 million as compared to revenue of $725.8 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019. |
| Net income attributable to common shareholders was $497.5 million, or $3.20 per diluted share (EPS), compared to $98.1 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, primarily due to $2.37 per diluted share from gains on asset sales in the first quarter of 2020. |
| Funds from Operations (FFO) was $284.1 million, or $1.83 per diluted share, reflecting growth of 7% compared to FFO of $266.0 million, or $1.72 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. |
○ | FFO in the first quarter of $1.83 per diluted share was $0.02 per share greater than the midpoint of the Companys first quarter guidance provided on January 28, 2020 due primarily to $0.02 per share of greater-than-projected portfolio performance. |
The Company provided a business update pertaining to the current COVID-19 pandemic including:
| The safety of Boston Properties tenants and employees remains the Companys highest priority. The Company has formed a Heath and Security Task Force to prepare buildings for re-occupancy and will implement a number of processes, technologies and communications to provide a safe environment at the Companys properties. |
| All office properties throughout the Boston Properties portfolio remain open for tenants, although physical occupancy is low due to shelter-in-place orders. |
| For the month of April, the Company collected 90% of its total commercial rent payments due April 1 from retail and office tenants. Rent collections from office tenants, excluding retail, were 95% in total. |
| The Company continues to maintain a strong liquidity position with $2.1 billion of total liquidity as of March 31, 2020 consisting of $661 million of cash, $151 million of cash held in 1031 exchange escrow as well as $1.25 billion available under its unsecured revolving credit facility. |
| Although the Companys office rent collections were strong in April, due to the uncertainty of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the unknown duration and impact of shelter-in-place requirements and the uncertain economic climate, the Company believes it is prudent to withdraw its guidance for full year 2020 EPS and FFO. |
Recent business highlights include:
| Completed and fully placed in-service 17Fifty Presidents Street located in Reston, Virginia on March 26, 2020. 17Fifty Presidents Street is a build-to-suit project with approximately 276,000 net rentable square feet of Class A office space that is 100% leased to an affiliate of Leidos Holdings, Inc. |
more
| Completed the sale of New Dominion Technology Park located in Herndon, Virginia on February 20, 2020, for a gross sale price of $256.0 million, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $254.0 million and reported gain on sale of approximately $192.3 million. New Dominion Technology Park is comprised of two Class A office properties aggregating approximately 493,000 net rentable square feet. |
| Completed the acquisition of the land underlying the ground lease at Platform 16 located in San Jose, California on February 20, 2020, for a purchase price of approximately $74.0 million at BXPs Share. Platform 16 is a joint venture in which the Company owns 55%. Platform 16 consists of a parcel of land totaling approximately 5.6 acres that is expected to support the development of approximately 1.1 million square feet of commercial office space. |
| Entered into a joint venture with Alexandria Real Estate Equities to develop, own and operate approximately 1.1 million square feet of existing office and life science lab properties in South San Francisco, California, with the opportunity for approximately 640,000 square feet of additional future development. The Company contributed three office properties totaling approximately 768,000 square feet and development rights resulting in a non-cash gain on sale of real estate of approximately $217.7 million. Upon completion, the joint venture is expected to own an approximately 1.7 million square foot life science campus including a mix of office and lab buildings. Boston Properties will have a 50% ownership interest in the joint venture. |

(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 companys real estate across reporting periods and to the operating performance of other companies. |
Our computation 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 Companys operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. common shareholders as presented in the Companys 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 Companys financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
