KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • CBL reported an increase in same-center NOI of 1.5% for second quarter 2024 compared with the prior-year period, and FFO, as adjusted, per share of $1.73, compared with $1.56 for second quarter 2023. Same center NOI for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased 2.6% compared with the prior-year period, and FFO, as adjusted, per share increased to $3.23, compared with $3.12 for prior-year period. Results were in-line with the previously issued guidance range for 2024 same-center NOI and FFO, as adjusted.
  • Over 1.0 million square feet of leases were executed in second quarter 2024. Second quarter 2024 leasing results included comparable leases of approximately 694,000 square feet signed at an 8.8% increase in average rents versus the prior leases including a 6.2% increase in renewal leases signed for malls, lifestyle centers and outlet centers.
  • Portfolio occupancy was 88.7% as of June 30, 2024, a 110 basis-point-decline compared with portfolio occupancy of 89.8% as of June 30, 2023. Same-center occupancy for malls, lifestyle centers and outlet centers was 86.8% as of June 30, 2024, a 180-basis-point decline from 88.6% as of June 30, 2023. Anticipated bankruptcy related store closures representing nearly 300,000-square-feet comprised 188 basis points of the decline in mall occupancy compared with the prior-year quarter including approximately 234,000 square feet in the second quarter 2024 related to rue21 and Express. CBL has executed agreements to reopen 14 stores representing approximately 94,400 square feet of rue21 stores under its new ownership by first quarter 2025, with the majority opening in 2024.
  • Same-center tenant sales per square foot for the second quarter 2024 were essentially flat as compared with the prior-year period. Same-center tenant sales per square foot for the 12-months ended June 30, 2024, declined 2.1% to $417, compared with $426 for the prior period.
  • As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $295.8 million of unrestricted cash and marketable securities.
  • CBL closed on the sale of Layton Hill Malls in Layton, UT, for $37.125 million. The property served as collateral under CBL's non-recourse term loan. Net proceeds from the sale were used to reduce the term loan balance to $749.8 million.
  • More than $19.4 million in share repurchases completed under the program, continuing CBL's commitment to return capital to shareholders.
  • CBL's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.40 per common share for the quarter ending September 30, 2024. The dividend equates to an annual dividend payment of $1.60 per common share.

“CBL’s second quarter financial and operational results reflected the growing strength of the retail real estate sector," said CBL's chief executive officer, Stephen D. Lebovitz. "Same-center NOI grew 1.5% for the quarter, generated through contributions from new leasing, operating expense savings, and a positive variance from uncollectible revenues, partially offset by a decline in percentage rents and lost rent from recent tenant bankruptcy activity.

"Leasing volume was strong with healthy demand from tenants for space across our portfolio. We executed more than one million square feet of leases in the second quarter, a 23% increase from the prior-year period, including over 360,000 square feet of new leases. Notable leases signed in the quarter include three lululemon locations including two new stores, as well as the planned expansion of their high-performing store at our West County Center in St. Louis. We opened a Tilt family entertainment venue at Jefferson Mall in Louisville and inked a deal for Shoe Station to open this year in the former Bed, Bath, and Beyond location at our open-air center in Chattanooga. Despite high leasing volumes, occupancy levels declined in the quarter, primarily due to anticipated bankruptcy-related store closures including approximately 234,000-square-feet related to the bankruptcies of Express and rue21. However, we signed several leases with the new owners of rue21 and anticipate an initial 14 locations will reopen by first quarter 2025, with the potential for additional locations to be added in subsequent months.

“Positive spreads on both new and renewal leasing showcased our focus on replacing underperforming tenants and locking in better performing tenants at improving rents. With the exception of April, which was down due to the Easter holiday, sales were another bright spot in the quarter. May and June posted solid 2% sales increases. Back to school shopping is underway now with tax free weekend promotions driving traffic across the CBL portfolio.

"As we make progress strengthening our balance sheet, debt levels declined with the quarter end's balance representing a more than $126 million reduction in CBL's pro rata share from the prior-year period. We were pleased to recently close on the sale of Layton Hills Mall in Layton, UT, which served as collateral for our non-recourse term loan. Proceeds from this sale were used to reduce the principal balance and progressed our goal of meeting our term loan extension test in 2025 while minimizing use of our corporate cash reserves."

CBL’s definition of same-center NOI excludes the impact of lease termination fees and certain non-cash items such as straight-line rents and reimbursements, write-offs of landlord inducements and net amortization of above and below market leases.

Same-center NOI for the second quarter 2024 increased $1.6 million. Second quarter 2024 results included a $1.6 million improvement in operating expense, primarily driven by lower third-party contract expense, net benefit of real estate and other tax expense savings. Expenses also benefited from lower third-party contract expense. Expense savings were partially offset by $0.6 million higher insurance expense in the quarter. The estimate for uncollectible revenues positively impacted the quarter by approximately $1.3 million. Percentage rents declined $0.3 million due to lower tenant sales.

DIVIDEND

On August 7, 2024, CBL’s Board of Directors declared the regular quarterly cash dividend for the three months ended September 30, 2024, of $0.40 per share. The dividend, which equates to an annual dividend payment of $1.60 per share, is payable on September 30, 2024, to shareholders of record as of September 13, 2024.

FINANCING ACTIVITY

In July 2024, CBL and its 50% joint venture partner closed on a new $14.5 million five-year loan secured by the Aloft Hotel at Hamilton Place in Chattanooga, TN. The loan bears a fixed interest rate of 7.2% and is non-recourse to CBL and replaced the existing $16.0 million loan that was set to mature in November 2024.

In February 2024, CBL retired the $15.3 million recourse loan secured by Brookfield Square Anchor Redevelopment in Brookfield, WI.

In May 2024, CBL transferred the title of Westgate Mall in Spartanburg, SC, to the mortgage holder in satisfaction of the $28.7 million non-recourse loan secured by the property.

CBL is cooperating with the foreclosure or conveyance of Alamance Crossing East in Burlington, NC, ($41.1 million).

STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM ACTIVITY

On August 10, 2023, CBL announced that its Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program for the Company to buy up to $25.0 million of its common stock. Since commencement, CBL has repurchased 858,510 shares at an average price of $22.55 per share under the program. On August 7, 2024, CBL's Board of Directors approved an extension of the program through December 31, 2024.

DISPOSITIONS

On August 6, 2024, CBL closed on the sale of Layton Hills Mall in Layton, UT, for $37.125 million. The property served as collateral under CBL's non-recourse term loan. Net proceeds from the sale were used to reduce the term loan balance to $749.8 million.

CBL did not complete any dispositions during the second quarter. Year-to-date, in addition to the sale of Layton Hills Mall, CBL has completed the sale of two land parcels, generating more than $7.7 million in gross proceeds at CBL's share.

DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY

Detailed project information is available in CBL’s Financial Supplement for Q2 2024, which can be found in the Invest – Financial Reports section of CBL’s website at cblproperties.com.

OUTLOOK AND GUIDANCE

Based on year-to-date results, Management's expectations and after incorporating the impact of the sale of Layton Hills Mall, CBL is reiterating its full-year 2024 FFO, as adjusted, guidance. Per share amounts have also been adjusted to reflect the impact of year-to-date share repurchase activity. Management anticipates same-center NOI for full-year 2024 in the range of (1.2)% to 1.4%. Guidance excludes the impact of any unannounced transactions.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Funds From Operations

FFO is a widely used non-GAAP measure of the operating performance of real estate companies that supplements net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses on sales of depreciable operating properties and impairment losses of depreciable properties, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and noncontrolling interests. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and noncontrolling interests are calculated on the same basis. We define FFO as defined above by NAREIT. The Company’s method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

The Company believes that FFO provides an additional indicator of the operating performance of its properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assumes the value of real estate assets declines predictably over time. Since values of well-maintained real estate assets have historically risen with market conditions, the Company believes that FFO enhances investors’ understanding of its operating performance. The use of FFO as an indicator of financial performance is influenced not only by the operations of the Company’s properties and interest rates, but also by its capital structure.

The Company believes FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders is a useful performance measure since it conducts substantially all of its business through its Operating Partnership and, therefore, it reflects the performance of the properties in absolute terms regardless of the ratio of ownership interests of the Company’s common shareholders and the noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership.

In the reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to the Company’s common shareholders to FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders, located in this earnings release, the Company makes an adjustment to add back noncontrolling interest in income (loss) of its Operating Partnership in order to arrive at FFO of the Operating Partnership common unitholders.

FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) for purposes of evaluating the Company’s operating performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

The Company believes that it is important to identify the impact of certain significant items on its FFO measures for a reader to have a complete understanding of the Company’s results of operations. Therefore, the Company has also presented adjusted FFO measures excluding these items from the applicable periods. Please refer to the reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders to FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders on page 8 of this news release for a description of these adjustments.

Same-center Net Operating Income

NOI is a supplemental non-GAAP measure of the operating performance of the Company’s shopping centers and other properties. The Company defines NOI as property operating revenues (rental revenues, tenant reimbursements and other income) less property operating expenses (property operating, real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs).

The Company computes NOI based on the Operating Partnership’s pro rata share of both consolidated and unconsolidated properties. The Company believes that presenting NOI and same-center NOI (described below) based on its Operating Partnership’s pro rata share of both consolidated and unconsolidated properties is useful since the Company conducts substantially all of its business through its Operating Partnership and, therefore, it reflects the performance of the properties in absolute terms regardless of the ratio of ownership interests of the Company’s common shareholders and the noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership. The Company's definition of NOI may be different than that used by other companies and, accordingly, the Company's calculation of NOI may not be comparable to that of other companies.

Since NOI includes only those revenues and expenses related to the operations of the Company’s shopping center properties, the Company believes that same-center NOI provides a measure that reflects trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, sales at the malls and operating costs and the impact of those trends on the Company’s results of operations. The Company’s calculation of same-center NOI excludes lease termination income, straight-line rent adjustments, amortization of above and below market lease intangibles and write-off of landlord inducement assets in order to enhance the comparability of results from one period to another. A reconciliation of same-center NOI to net income (loss) is located at the end of this earnings release.

Pro Rata Share of Debt

The Company presents debt based on the carrying value of its pro rata ownership share (including the carrying value of the Company’s pro rata share of unconsolidated affiliates and excluding noncontrolling interests’ share of consolidated properties) because it believes this provides investors a clearer understanding of the Company’s total debt obligations which affect the Company’s liquidity. A reconciliation of the Company’s pro rata share of debt to the amount of debt on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet is located at the end of this earnings release.

CBL defines NOI as property operating revenues (rental revenues, tenant reimbursements and other income), less property operating expenses (property operating, real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs). NOI excludes lease termination income, straight-line rent adjustments, amortization of above and below market lease intangibles and write-offs of landlord inducement assets. We include a property in our same-center pool when we own all or a portion of the property as of June 30, 2024, and we owned it and it was in operation for both the entire preceding calendar year and the current year-to-date reporting period ending June 30, 2024. New properties are excluded from same-center NOI, until they meet these criteria. Properties excluded from the same-center pool that would otherwise meet these criteria are properties which are under major redevelopment or being considered for repositioning, where we intend to renegotiate the terms of the debt secured by the related property or return the property to the lender.
