BXP Announces 1st Quarter 2022 Results; Reports Q1 EPS of $0.91 and FFO Per Share of $1.82

Exceeds Q1 2022 Guidance for EPS and FFO; Executes 1.2 Million SF of Leases in Q1, and Agrees to 2nd Acquisition in Seattle, WA in Q2 2022

Boston Properties, Inc. (NYSE: BXP), the largest publicly traded developer, owner, and manager of Class A office properties in the United States, reported results today for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Financial highlights for the first quarter include:

  • Revenue grew approximately 6% to $754.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $713.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
  • Net income attributable to common shareholders of $143.0 million, or $0.91 per diluted share (EPS), compared to $91.6 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
  • Funds from Operations (FFO) of $286.1 million, or $1.82 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to FFO of $243.8 million, or $1.56 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
  • EPS and FFO per share exceeded the mid-point of BXP’s guidance due primarily to $0.07 per share of improvement in portfolio performance, $0.01 per share of the impact of reinstating accrual basis accounting for certain tenants that were previously reclassified to cash basis accounting and $0.01 per share of lower general and administrative expenses. Additionally, Q1 2022 EPS included a gain on sale of $0.13 per share.

BXP provided guidance for (1) second quarter 2022 EPS of $0.79 - $0.81 and FFO of $1.84 - $1.86 per diluted share and (2) full year 2022 EPS of $5.32 - $5.42 and FFO of $7.40 - $7.50 per diluted share. See “EPS and FFO per Share Guidance” below.

First quarter and recent business highlights include:

  • Executed approximately 1.2 million square feet of leases in the first quarter having a weighted-average lease term of 7.3 years. Executed leases for the quarter included an approximately 330,000 square foot renewal and expansion with a financial services firm at 601 Lexington Avenue in New York City, NY. The leasing volume achieved in Q1 of 2022 is in line with BXP’s 10-year first quarter leasing average, and double the volume from Q1 2021.
  • In April 2022, executed an agreement to purchase Madison Centre, an approximately 760,000 square foot, 37-story Class A office building in Seattle, WA, for a gross purchase price of approximately $730 million. As one of the newest commercial high rises in the city with one of the most generous amenity offerings in the market, Madison Centre will serve as a showpiece and foundational asset for BXP’s expansion in the Seattle market. There can be no assurance that this acquisition will occur on the terms currently contemplated or at all.
  • In April 2022, signed an approximately 570,000 rentable square foot lease with AstraZeneca to lease the first phase of a future life sciences development at 290 Binney Street in Cambridge, MA. This future development site is located in the heart of Kendall Square, and when complete, will include two buildings totaling approximately 1.1 million rentable square feet of life sciences space as well as an approximately 400,000 square foot residential building. The lease and the commencement of development are subject to various conditions, some of which are not within BXP’s control.
  • Commenced two development projects:



    • the redevelopment of 651 Gateway in South San Francisco, CA. 651 Gateway is an office building that is being converted to an approximately 327,000 net rentable square foot life sciences space. This property is owned by a joint venture in which BXP has a 50% interest.



    • the development of the first phase of Platform 16 in San Jose, CA. Platform 16 is a Class A office project that, after completion of all phases, is expected to be approximately 1.1 million square feet. The first phase is approximately 390,000 net rentable square feet. This property is owned by a joint venture in which BXP has a 55% interest.
  • Disposed of 195 West Street, an approximately 63,500 square foot office building in Waltham, MA for a gross sales price of $37.7 million and net proceeds of $35.4 million. BXP recognized a gain on sale of approximately $22.7 million.
  • Refinanced the mortgage loan collateralized by Metropolitan Square located in Washington, DC. The new loans aggregate approximately $420.0 million and mature on April 9, 2024. The previous mortgage loan had an outstanding balance of approximately $294.1 million and was scheduled to mature on July 7, 2022. This property is owned by a joint venture in which BXP has a 20% interest.
  • In April 2022, released BXP’s 2021 ESG Report, which provides details on BXP’s ESG approach, goals, key performance indicators, leadership, and reporting methodologies related to environmental impact, social impact, and governance.
  • Named to Barron’s 10 Most Sustainable REITs in the U.S. BXP improved from 8th place to 3rd place in the 2nd year that Barron’s produced a REIT ranking.

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 March 31, 2022. 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 second quarter and full year 2022 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, the timing of the lease-up of available space, and the earnings impact of the events referenced in this release and those referenced during the related conference call. Except as otherwise publicly disclosed, the estimates do not include the impacts of any potential (1) capital markets activity, (2) future write-offs or reinstatements of accounts receivable and accrued rent balances, or (3) 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. 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 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 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.
