Paramount Announces First Quarter 2022 Results

Raises Guidance for Full Year 2022

Paramount Group, Inc. (NYSE: PGRE) (“Paramount” or the “Company”) filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 today and reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

First Quarter Highlights:

  • Reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $3.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to net loss attributable to common stockholders of $3.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
  • Reported Core Funds from Operations (“Core FFO”) attributable to common stockholders of $54.6 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $50.6 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
  • Raised its full year 2022 Earnings Guidance as follows:
    • Estimated net loss attributable to common stockholders will be between $0.05 and $0.01 per diluted share, compared to its prior estimate of net loss attributable to common stockholders between $0.07 and $0.01 per diluted share, an increase in net income of $0.01 per diluted share at the midpoint of the Company’s prior estimate.
    • Estimated Core FFO attributable to common stockholders will be between $0.93 and $0.97 per diluted share, compared to its prior estimate of $0.91 to $0.97 per diluted share, an increase of $0.01 per diluted share at the midpoint of the Company’s prior guidance.
  • Reported a 3.9% increase in Same Store Cash Net Operating Income (“NOI”) and a 2.7% decrease in Same Store NOI in the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in the prior year.
  • Leased 202,820 square feet, of which the Company’s share was 152,202 square feet that was leased at a weighted average initial rent of $67.67 per square foot. Of the 152,202 square feet that was leased, 141,269 square feet represented the Company’s share of second generation space, for which the weighted average rental rates were in-line with prior escalated rental rates on a cash basis and decreased by 0.5% on a GAAP basis.
  • Acquired a 26,000 square foot retail condominium at 1600 Broadway in Manhattan on February 24, 2022, through a joint venture in which the Company owns a 9.2% interest. The property, which is located in the heart of Times Square, is 100% leased to Mars, Inc. for a 15-year term, and serves as the New York flagship location for M&M’s World. The transaction valued the property at $191.5 million. In connection with the acquisition, the joint venture obtained a 10-year, $98.0 million interest-only loan that has a fixed rate of 3.45%.
  • Declared an increased first quarter cash dividend of $0.0775 per common share on March 15, 2022, which was paid on April 15, 2022.

     

Financial Results

Quarter Ended March 31, 2022

Net income attributable to common stockholders was $3.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to net loss attributable to common stockholders of $3.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) attributable to common stockholders was $54.9 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $50.9 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. FFO attributable to common stockholders for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 includes the impact of non-core items, which are listed in the table on page 8. The aggregate of the non-core items, net of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, increased FFO attributable to common stockholders by $0.3 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Core FFO attributable to common stockholders, which excludes the impact of the non-core items listed on page 8, was $54.6 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $50.6 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Portfolio Operations

Quarter Ended March 31, 2022

Same Store Cash NOI increased by $3.6 million, or 3.9%, to $96.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 from $92.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Same Store NOI decreased by $2.6 million, or 2.7%, to $96.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 from $98.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company leased 202,820 square feet, of which the Company’s share was 152,202 square feet that was leased at a weighted average initial rent of $67.67 per square foot. This leasing activity, offset by lease expirations in the quarter, decreased leased occupancy and same store leased occupancy (properties owned by the Company in a similar manner during both reporting periods) by 10 basis points to 90.6% at March 31, 2022 from 90.7% at December 31, 2021. Of the 152,202 square feet leased, 141,269 square feet represented the Company’s share of second generation space (space that had been vacant for less than twelve months) for which the weighted average rental rates were in-line with prior escalated rental rates on a cash basis and decreased by 0.5% on a GAAP basis. The weighted average lease term for leases signed during the first quarter was 7.8 years and weighted average tenant improvements and leasing commissions on these leases were $8.40 per square foot per annum, or 12.4% of initial rent.

Guidance

The Company is raising its Estimated Core FFO Guidance for the full year of 2022, which is reconciled below to estimated net loss attributable to common stockholders per diluted share in accordance with GAAP. The Company estimates that net loss attributable to common stockholders will be between $0.05 and $0.01 per diluted share, compared to its prior estimate of net loss attributable to common stockholders between $0.07 and $0.01 per diluted share, an increase in net income of $0.01 per diluted share at the midpoint of the Company’s prior estimate. The estimated net loss attributable to common stockholders per diluted share is not a projection and is being provided solely to satisfy the disclosure requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Based on the Company’s performance for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and its outlook for the remainder of 2022, the Company is raising its Estimated 2022 Core FFO to be between $0.93 and $0.97 per diluted share, compared to its prior estimate of $0.91 to $0.97 per diluted share. This represents an increase of $0.01 per diluted share at the midpoint of the Company’s guidance, resulting primarily from (i) $0.01 per diluted share from lease termination income (that was recognized in the first quarter of 2022) and (ii) $0.01 per diluted share from better than expected portfolio operations, partially offset by (iii) $0.01 per diluted share from higher interest expense on variable rate debt.

Except as described above, these estimates reflect management’s view of current and future market conditions, including assumptions with respect to rental rates, occupancy levels and the earnings impact of the events referenced in this release and otherwise to be referenced during the conference call referred to on page 5. These estimates do not include the impact on operating results from possible future property acquisitions or dispositions, capital markets activity or realized and unrealized gains or losses on real estate fund investments. The estimates set forth above may be subject to fluctuations as a result of several factors, including the negative impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic, straight-line rent adjustments and the amortization of above and below-market leases. There can be no assurance that the Company’s actual results will not differ materially from the estimates set forth above.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. You can identify these statements by our use of the words “assumes,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “guidance,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects” and similar expressions that do not relate to historical matters. You should exercise caution in interpreting and relying on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond the Company’s control and could materially affect actual results, performance or achievements. These factors include, without limitation, the negative impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic on the U.S., regional and global economies and our tenants’ financial condition and results of operations; the ability to enter into new leases or renew leases on favorable terms; dependence on tenants’ financial condition; trends in the office real estate industry including telecommuting, flexible work schedules, open workplaces and teleconferencing; the uncertainties of real estate development, acquisition and disposition activity; the ability to effectively integrate acquisitions; the costs and availability of financing; the ability of our joint venture partners to satisfy their obligations; the effects of local, national and international economic and market conditions; the effects of acquisitions, dispositions and possible impairment charges on our operating results; regulatory changes, including changes to tax laws and regulations; and other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not undertake a duty to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

FFO is a supplemental measure of our performance. We present FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”). Nareit defines FFO as net income or loss, calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization from real estate assets, impairment losses on certain real estate assets and gains or losses from the sale of certain real estate assets or from change in control of certain real estate assets, including our share of such adjustments of unconsolidated joint ventures. FFO is commonly used in the real estate industry to assist investors and analysts in comparing results of real estate companies because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. In addition, we present Core FFO as an alternative measure of our operating performance, which adjusts FFO for certain other items that we believe enhance the comparability of our FFO across periods. Core FFO, when applicable, excludes the impact of certain items, including, transaction related costs, realized and unrealized gains or losses on real estate fund investments, unrealized gains or losses on interest rate swaps, severance costs and gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt, in order to reflect the Core FFO of our real estate portfolio and operations. In future periods, we may also exclude other items from Core FFO that we believe may help investors compare our results.

FFO and Core FFO are presented as supplemental financial measures and do not fully represent our operating performance. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating FFO and Core FFO or use other definitions of FFO and Core FFO and, accordingly, our presentation of these measures may not be comparable to other real estate companies. Neither FFO nor Core FFO is intended to be a measure of cash flow or liquidity. Please refer to our financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, for purposes of evaluating our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

NOI is used to measure the operating performance of our properties. NOI consists of rental revenue (which includes property rentals, tenant reimbursements and lease termination income) and certain other property-related revenue less operating expenses (which includes property-related expenses such as cleaning, security, repairs and maintenance, utilities, property administration and real estate taxes). We also present Cash NOI which deducts from NOI, straight-line rent adjustments and the amortization of above and below-market leases, including our share of such adjustments of unconsolidated joint ventures. In addition, we present PGRE's share of NOI and Cash NOI which represents our share of NOI and Cash NOI of consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures, based on our percentage ownership in the underlying assets. We use NOI and Cash NOI internally as performance measures and believe they provide useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because they reflect only those income and expense items that are incurred at property level.

Same Store NOI is used to measure the operating performance of properties in our New York and San Francisco portfolios that were owned by the Company in a similar manner during both the current period and prior reporting periods and represents Same Store NOI from consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures based on our percentage ownership in the underlying assets. Same Store NOI also excludes lease termination income, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases and certain other items that may vary from period to period. We also present Same Store Cash NOI, which excludes the effect of non-cash items such as the straight-line rent adjustments and the amortization of above and below-market leases.

A reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure can be found in this press release and in our Supplemental Information for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, which is available on our website.
