Estimates Context
Values marked with * retrieved from S&P Global.
Implications:
- The revenue beat reflects stronger-than-expected leasing/same-store activity and fee/other income mix, despite YoY headwinds .
- The EPS miss likely reflects higher interest expense and non-core merger-related costs ($9.0M in Q3) depressing GAAP profitability versus consensus .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Deal-capped setup: With the $6.60 cash acquisition by Rithm expected in Q4’25, shares are primarily driven by deal-close probability, timing, and spread risk; no Q3 call or guidance update underscores the focus on transaction completion .
- Fundamentals mixed: Revenue outperformed consensus, but GAAP EPS missed as higher interest expense and transaction costs weighed; Core FFO per share of $0.14 reflects stable underlying operations excluding non-core items .
- Leasing momentum is a bright spot: 548K sf signed and +430 bps q/q occupancy lift to 89.7% indicate positive leasing velocity and pricing on second-gen space (+13.9% GAAP MTM) .
- San Francisco remains the swing factor: Same Store Cash NOI down 33.9% YoY in SF post-Google lease expiry; portfolio re-leasing in SF will be key to stabilizing cash flows .
- Balance sheet progress: The 1301 Avenue refi fixed a large maturity through 2030 and added ~$26M of liquidity; PGRE share net debt/annualized Adj. EBITDAre at 10.2x (9.9x ex-non-core) remains elevated but term extension reduces near-term risk .
- No discretionary dividends under merger covenants: Dividend policy remains suspended; post-close dividend outlook will depend on acquirer strategy and capital allocation .
- ESG credibility persists: Seventh consecutive GRESB 5-Star rating supports asset quality and operating discipline—important for tenant demand and capital access post-transaction .
