Management Commentary
- “Our third quarter results continue to highlight the solid operating fundamentals of our portfolio… Leasing velocity also remained strong… weighted average rental rates that were 22.4% higher… Renewal activity accounted for 70%… ability to achieve organic cash flow growth while maintaining portfolio stability.” — Yael Duffy, President & COO .
- “Normalized FFO… $17.4 million or $0.26 per share… Same property cash basis NOI was $84.2 million… Interest expense decreased… reflecting the impact of our $1.16 billion fixed-rate debt refinancing completed in June… we expect normalized FFO to be between $0.27 and $0.29 per share, excluding incentive fees, and adjusted EBITDA-RE between $84 million and $85 million.” — Tiffany Sy, CFO .
- “Our leasing pipeline continues to grow and now exceeds 8 million square feet… anticipate near-term conversion of approximately 75%… average roll-ups in rent of 20% on the mainland and 30% in Hawaii.” — Marc Krohn, VP .
Q&A Highlights
- Incentive management fees: full-year ~$6.3M under 9/30 conditions; < $2M to be recorded in Q4; paid in January 2026; excluded from Q4 Normalized FFO .
- Mainland spread nuance: USPS re-leasing at ~2% GAAP roll-up drove the mainland weighted average down to 1.8%; management satisfied with outcome given building specifics .
- Dispositions: owner-user sale ~ $50M (sub-6% cap rate premium); two additional vacant assets in process; aggregate ~$55M; impairment tied to the vacant asset sale .
- Indianapolis lease-up: three proposals active; optimistic but realistic; potential lease-up in 1H 2026 .
- Hawaii vacancy: full-site user in diligence under a 90-day access agreement; underwriting complexity keeps pace measured .
Estimates Context
- Q3 2025: EPS modest beat, revenue slight miss, EBITDA miss versus S&P Global consensus; target price consensus mean is $6.85. Values retrieved from S&P Global.*
- Implications: EBITDA miss versus consensus and GAAP loss suggest Street models may adjust for the impairment charge and higher G&A, while steady leasing spreads and Q4 FFO guidance could support upward revisions to FFO outlook.*
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Leasing economics remain robust: 22.4% GAAP rent lifts on 836k sq ft and ~70% renewals underpin organic cash NOI growth (+3.0% YoY) .
- Balance sheet improvement: interest expense down 14.2% YoY; coverage at 1.3x remains thin but stable post-refinancing; deleveraging via ~$55M asset sales targeted to partially repay the $700M 2032 loan .
- Q4 guide constructive: Normalized FFO $0.27–$0.29 and Adjusted EBITDAre $84–$85M point to sequential momentum despite macro uncertainty .
- Dividend now sustainable at $0.05/qtr (3.4% annualized yield at Q3 close), supported by improved cash savings from June refinancing and CAD stability .
- Watch the JV debt: $1.4B floating-rate JV loan fixed via cap; extension flexibility to 2027; management evaluating refinancing options amid high occupancy .
- Vacancy catalysts: Indianapolis and Hawaii prospects advancing (proposals and diligence); lease-up timing into 2026 could add NOI and derisk trajectory .
- Non-GAAP clarity: impairment ($6.1M) and incentive fee timing (Jan 2026) explain GAAP/EBITDA variances vs Street; focus on Normalized FFO and Adjusted EBITDAre for run-rate .
