PLYMOUTH INDUSTRIAL REIT REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2024 RESULTS
BOSTON, May 1, 2024 – Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. (NYSE: PLYM) (the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024, and other recent developments.
First Quarter and Subsequent Highlights
· | Reported results for the first quarter of 2024 reflect net income attributable to common stockholders of $0.14 per weighted average common share; Core Funds from Operations attributable to common stockholders and unit holders (“Core FFO”) of $0.45 per weighted average common share and units; and Adjusted FFO (“AFFO”) of $0.45 per weighted average common share and units. |
· | Same store NOI (“SS NOI”) increased 2.9% on a GAAP basis excluding early termination income for the first quarter compared with the same period in 2023; increased 7.0% on a cash basis excluding early termination income. |
· | Commenced leases during the first quarter experienced a 17.1% increase in rental rates on a cash basis from leases greater than six months with new leases experiencing a 48.4% increase on a cash basis and renewal leases experiencing an 5.9% increase on a cash basis. Through April 29, 2024, executed leases scheduled to commence during 2024, which includes the first quarter activity, total an aggregate of 4,148,844 square feet, all of which are associated with terms of at least six months. The Company will experience a 16.5% increase in rental rates on a cash basis from these leases. |
· | Completed 54,008 square feet of development leasing through the first quarter, bringing the total 772,622-square-foot development program to 93% leased. |
· | Recorded an approximate $8.0 million net gain on sale of real estate related to a tenant’s notice of intent to exercise a fixed purchase option for $21.5 million for a property located in Columbus, OH. |
· | Increased the regular quarterly cash dividend for the first quarter of 2024 by 6.7% to $0.240 per share for the common stock, or an annualized rate of $0.96 per share. |
· | Affirmed the full year 2024 guidance range for Core FFO per weighted average common share and units previously issued on February 21, 2024, and updated its range for net income per weighted average common share and units and accompanying assumptions. |
Jeff Witherell, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Plymouth, noted, “Our goals for 2024 are to utilize our real estate operating platform to deliver on leasing and improving the portfolio and pursuing new opportunities that can drive accretive long-term growth. The leasing we have accomplished to date supports our continued outlook for strong same-store NOI growth. The capital allocation decisions we have made with disposition and development activity, together with improved liquidity on our balance sheet, position us to be very selective with acquisitions later this year and into 2025.”
Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2024
Net income attributable to common stockholders for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, was $6.1 million, or $0.14 per weighted average common share outstanding, compared with net loss attributable to common stockholders of $4.3 million, or $(0.10) per weighted average common share outstanding, for the same period in 2023. Net income improved year-over-year primarily due to a gain on sale of real estate recognized upon our tenant’s notice to exercise their purchase option and decreased depreciation and amortization expense. Weighted average common shares outstanding for the first quarters ended March 31, 2024, and 2023 were 45.0 million and 42.6 million, respectively.
Consolidated total revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, were $50.2 million, compared with $49.4 million for the same period in 2023.
NOI for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, was $33.5 million compared with $33.4 million for the same period in 2023. SS NOI excluding early termination income – GAAP basis for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, was $31.7 million compared with $30.8 million for the same period in 2023, an increase of 2.9%. SS NOI excluding early termination income – Cash basis for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, was $31.6 million compared with $29.5 million for the same period in 2023, an increase of 7.0%. SS NOI for the first quarter was positively impacted by rent escalations, renewal and new leasing spreads, and increased operating expense recoveries. The same store portfolio is comprised of 200 buildings totaling 31.2 million square feet, or 91.8% of the Company’s total portfolio, and was 98.3% occupied as of March 31, 2024.
EBITDAre for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, was $30.2 million compared with $30.0 million for the same period in 2023.
Core FFO for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, was $20.6 million compared with $19.6 million for the same period in 2023, primarily due to the elimination of preferred stock dividends as a result of the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock completed in September 2023. The Company reported Core FFO for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, of $0.45 per weighted average common share and unit compared with $0.45 per weighted average common share and unit for the same period in 2023. Weighted average common shares and units outstanding for the first quarters ended March 31, 2024, and 2023 were 45.8 million and 43.4 million, respectively, due to the ATM activity during Q3 2023 as part of the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock.
AFFO for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, was $20.5 million, or $0.45 per weighted average common share and unit, compared with $17.3 million, or $0.40 per weighted average common share and unit, for the same period in 2023. The results reflected the aforementioned changes in Core FFO and decreases within recurring capital expenditures, straight line rent and above/below market lease rent adjustments, partially offset by the 5.5% increase in outstanding common shares.
See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for complete definitions of NOI, EBITDAre, Core FFO and AFFO and the financial tables accompanying this press release for reconciliations of net income to NOI, EBITDAre, Core FFO and AFFO.
Liquidity
As of April 29, 2024, the Company’s current cash balance was approximately $7.4 million, excluding operating expense escrows of approximately $3.1 million, and it has approximately $194.6 million of capacity under the existing unsecured line of credit.
Investment Activity
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had real estate investments comprised of 211 industrial buildings totaling 34.0 million square feet.
The final project in the first phase of Plymouth’s development program, a 52,920-square-foot, fully leased building in Jacksonville, is expected to come online in the fourth quarter of 2024. During the first quarter, Plymouth signed a seven-year, 54,008-square-foot lease at its 154,6922-square-foot industrial building in Cincinnati. The Company’s development program is now 93% leased.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the tenant occupying an industrial property located in Columbus, Ohio, provided notice of its intention to exercise the fixed purchase option stated within their lease. The lease agreement requires the sale to close in August 2024 at a fixed price of approximately $21.5 million. In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, we reclassified the respective real estate property to net investment in sales-type lease totaling $21.5 million on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, de-recognized the net book value of the property assets for $13.5 million and recognized a gain on sale of real estate of $8.0 million related to this transaction.
Leasing Activity
Leases commencing during the first quarter ended March 31, 2024 totaled an aggregate of 1,387,977 square feet, all of which are associated with terms of at least six months. The Company will experience a 17.1% increase in rental rates on a cash basis from these leases. These leases included 928,217 square feet of renewal leases and 459,760 square feet of new leases. Total portfolio occupancy at March 31, 2024 was 96.9% and reflects recent new developments now in service. Same store occupancy at March 31, 2024 was 98.3%.
Executed leases scheduled to commence during 2024, which includes the first quarter activity, total an aggregate of 3,310,261 square feet, all of which are associated with terms of at least six months. The Company will experience a 16.5% increase in rental rates on a cash basis from these leases. These leases, which represent 58% of its total 2024 expirations, included 3,310,261 square feet of renewal leases (25.8% of these leases were associated with contractual renewals) and 838,583 square feet of new leases, of which 15,200 square feet was vacant at the start of 2024.
Quarterly Distributions to Stockholders
On February 21, 2024, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly common stock dividend of $0.240 per share for the first quarter of 2024. The dividend, which represented an increase of 6.7%, was paid on April 30, 2024 to stockholders of record on March 28, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Definitions
Net Operating Income (NOI): We consider net operating income, or NOI, to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income in that it helps both investors and management understand the core operations of our properties. We define NOI as total revenue (including rental revenue and tenant reimbursements) less property-level operating expenses. NOI excludes depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, impairments, gain/loss on sale of real estate, interest expense, and other non-operating items.
EBITDAre: We define earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for real estate in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). EBITDAre represents net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, before interest expense, tax, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on the sale of rental property, appreciation (depreciation) of warrants, loss on impairments, and loss on extinguishment of debt. We believe that EBITDAre is helpful to investors as a supplemental measure of our operating performance as a real estate company as it is a direct measure of the actual operating results of our industrial properties.
Funds from Operations (“FFO”): Funds from operations, or FFO, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of an REIT’s operating performance, thereby, providing investors the potential to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. We consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of our operating performance as it is based on a net income analysis of property portfolio performance that excludes non-cash items such as depreciation. The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values rise and fall with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT, using historical accounting for depreciation, could be less informative. In December 2018, NAREIT issued a white paper restating the definition of FFO. The purpose of the restatement was not to change the fundamental definition of FFO, but to clarify existing NAREIT guidance. The restated definition of FFO is as follows: Net Income (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding: (i) Depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (ii) Gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, (iii) Gain and losses from change in control, and (iv) Impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity.
We define FFO consistent with the NAREIT definition. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. Other equity REITs may not calculate FFO as we do, and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.
Core Funds from Operations (“Core FFO”): We calculate Core FFO by adjusting FFO for non-comparable items such as dividends paid (or declared) to holders of our preferred stock, acquisition and transaction related expenses for transactions not completed, and certain non-cash operating expenses such as impairment on real estate lease, appreciation/(depreciation) of warrants and loss on extinguishment of debt. We believe that Core FFO is a useful supplemental measure in addition to FFO by adjusting for items that are not considered by us to be part of the period-over-period operating performance of our property portfolio, thereby, providing a more meaningful and consistent comparison of our operating and financial performance during the periods presented. As with FFO, our reported Core FFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ Core FFO, should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of our funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.
Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”): Adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, is presented in addition to Core FFO. AFFO is defined as Core FFO, excluding certain non-cash operating revenues and expenses, capitalized interest and recurring capitalized expenditures. Recurring capitalized expenditures include expenditures required to maintain and re-tenant our properties, tenant improvements and leasing commissions. AFFO further adjusts Core FFO for certain other non-cash items, including the amortization or accretion of above or below market rents included in revenues, straight line rent adjustments, non-cash equity compensation and non-cash interest expense.
We believe AFFO provides a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance because it provides a consistent comparison of our operating performance across time periods that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of our properties. As a result, we believe that the use of AFFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provide a more complete understanding of our operating performance. As with Core FFO, our reported AFFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ AFFO, should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of our funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.

Glossary
This glossary contains additional details for sections throughout this Supplemental Information, including explanations and reconciliations of certain non-GAAP financial measures, and the reasons why we use these supplemental measures of performance and believe they provide useful information to investors. Additional detail can be found in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as well as other documents filed with or furnished to the SEC from time to time.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures Definitions:
Net Operating Income (NOI): We consider net operating income, or NOI, to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income in that it helps both investors and management understand the core operations of our properties. We define NOI as total revenue (including rental revenue and tenant reimbursements) less property-level operating expenses. NOI excludes depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, impairments, gain/loss on sale of real estate, interest expense, and other non-operating items.
Cash Net Operating Income - (Cash NOI): We define Cash NOI as NOI excluding straight-line rent adjustments and amortization of above and below market leases.
EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDA: We define earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for real estate in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). EBITDAre represents net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, before interest expense, tax, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on the sale of rental property, appreciation/(depreciation) of warrants, loss on impairments, and loss on extinguishment of debt. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA by adding or subtracting from EBITDAre the following items: (i) non-cash stock compensation, (ii) loss on extinguishment of debt, (iii) acquisition expenses (iv) the proforma impacts of acquisition, dispositions and developments and (v) non-cash impairments on real estate lease. We believe that EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDA are helpful to investors as supplemental measures of our operating performance as a real estate company as they are direct measures of the actual operating results of our industrial properties. EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDA should not be used as measures of our liquidity and may not be comparable to how other REITs' calculate EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDA.
Funds From Operations ("FFO"): Funds from operations, or FFO, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of an REIT’s operating performance, thereby, providing investors the potential to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. We consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of our operating performance as it is based on a net income analysis of property portfolio performance that excludes non-cash items such as depreciation. The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values rise and fall with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT, using historical accounting for depreciation, could be less informative. In December 2018, NAREIT issued a white paper restating the definition of FFO. The purpose of the restatement was not to change the fundamental definition of FFO, but to clarify existing NAREIT guidance. The restated definition of FFO is as follows: Net Income (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding: (i) Depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (ii) Gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, (iii) Gain and losses from change in control, and (iv) Impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. We define FFO, consistent with the NAREIT definition. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. Other equity REITs may not calculate FFO as we do, and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity and is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.
1Q 2024 Supplemental | 28
Glossary (continued)
Non-GAAP Financial Measures Definitions (continued):
Core Funds from Operations (“Core FFO”): We calculate Core FFO by adjusting FFO for non-comparable items such as dividends paid (or declared) to holders of our preferred stock, acquisition and transaction related expenses for transactions not completed, and certain non-cash operating expenses such as impairment on real estate lease, appreciation/(depreciation) of warrants and loss on extinguishment of debt. We believe that Core FFO is a useful supplemental measure in addition to FFO by adjusting for items that are not considered by us to be part of the period over period operating performance of our property portfolio, thereby, providing a more meaningful and consistent comparison of our operating and financial performance during the periods presented. As with FFO, our reported Core FFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ Core FFO, should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of our funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.
Adjusted Funds from Operations attributable to common stockholders (“AFFO”): Adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, is presented in addition to Core FFO. AFFO is defined as Core FFO, excluding certain non-cash operating revenues and expenses, capitalized interest and recurring capitalized expenditures. Recurring capitalized expenditures include expenditures required to maintain and re-tenant our properties, tenant improvements and leasing commissions. AFFO further adjusts Core FFOfor certain other non-cash items, including the amortization or accretion of above or below market rents included in revenues, straight line rent adjustments, non-cash equity compensation and non-cash interest expense.
We believe AFFO provides a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance because it provides a consistent comparison of our operating performance across time periods that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management's analysis of the operating performance of our properties. As a result, we believe that the use of AFFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provide a more complete understanding of our operating performance.
As with Core FFO, our reported AFFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ AFFO, should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of our funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.
Net Debt and Preferred Stock to Adjusted EBITDA: Net debt and preferred stock to Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is useful to investors as a supplemental measure in evaluating balance sheet leverage. Net debt and preferred stock is equal to the sum of total consolidated and our pro rata share of unconsolidated joint venture debt less cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, plus preferred stock calculated at its liquidation preference as of the end of the period.
1Q 2024 Supplemental | 29
Glossary (continued)
Other Definitions:
GAAP: U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Lease Type: We define our triple net leases in that the tenant is responsible for all aspects of and costs related to the property and its operation during the lease term. We define our modified net leases in that the landlord is responsible for some property related expenses during the lease term, but the cost of most of the expenses is passed through to the tenant. We define our gross leases in that the landlord is responsible for all aspects of and costs related to the property and its operation during the lease term.
Non-Recurring Capital Expenditures: Non-recurring capital expenditures include capital expenditures of long-lived improvements required to upgrade/replace existing systems or items that previously did not exist. Non-recurring capital expenditures also include costs associated with repositioning a property, redevelopment/development and capital improvements known at the time of acquisition.
Occupancy: We define occupancy as the percentage of total leasable square footage as the earlier of lease term commencement or revenue recognition in accordance to GAAP as of the close of the reporting period.
Recurring Capital Expenditures: Recurring capitalized expenditures includes capital expenditures required to maintain and re-tenant our buildings, tenant improvements and leasing commissions.
Replacement Cost: is based on the Marshall & Swift valuation methodology for the determination of building costs. The Marshall & Swift building cost data and analysis is widely recognized within the U.S. legal system and has been written into in law in over 30 U.S. states and recognized in the U.S. Treasury Department Internal Revenue Service Publication. Replacement cost includes land reflected at the allocated cost in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASC 805.
Same Store Portfolio: The Same Store Portfolio is a subset of the consolidated portfolio and includes properties that are wholly owned by the Company as of December 31, 2022. The Same Store Portfolio is evaluated and defined on an annual basis based on the growth and size of the consolidated portfolio. The Same Store Portfolio excludes properties that are classified as repositioning, lease-up during 2023 or 2024 (6 buildings representing approximately 1,755,000 of rentable square feet placed into service during 2023 or 2024) or under contract for sale. For 2024, the Same Store Portfolio consists of 146 properties aggregating 31.2 million rentable square feet. Properties that are being repositioned generally are defined as those properties where a significant amount of space is held vacant in order to implement capital improvements that enhance the functionality, rental cash flows, and value of that property. We define a significant amount of space at a property using both the size of the space and its proportion to the properties total square footage as a determinate. Our computation of same store NOI may not be comparable to other REITs.
Weighted Average Lease Term Remaining: The average contractual lease term remaining as of the close of the reporting period (in years) weighted by square footage.

FIRST QUARTER 2024 PREPARED COMMENTARY
MAY 1, 2024
This prepared commentary should be read in conjunction with the earnings press release, quarterly supplemental financial information and the Form 10-Q. All this information can be found on our Investor Relations page at ir.plymouthreit.com.
Before we get into the relevant detail from each area of the company, we’d like to call out some of the important takeaways from the quarter:
· | The results were in line with our expectations for the quarter and consistent with the full year forecast we provided on February 21, 2024. |
· | SSNOI growth of 7.0% on a cash basis was consistent with our full year outlook. |
· | We started the year with strong leasing results, have addressed 58% of our 2024 expirations, and are on track for our expected mark-to-market of 18% to 20%. |
· | The development program is now 93% leased with one space left to lease. |
· | Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA increased sequentially from 6.5X at year end to 6.7X at March 31 with the transitory uptick due to the effects of operating expense seasonality, coupled with the timing of recoveries and the previously discussed sequential decline in occupancy in Q1. There was no incremental borrowing in the quarter. |
Golden Triangle and PLYM Market Commentary
We were pleased to see continued investment in the Golden Triangle region and adjacent markets through reshoring, onshoring, and nearshoring. Just last week, Toyota announced a new $1.4 billion investment in its Princeton, Indiana facility that raises its total investment in Indiana to $8 billion. This facility is located nearly equidistant between St. Louis and Indianapolis. Toyota also has a $13.9 billion lithium-ion battery facility outside Greensboro, North Carolina slated to begin production in 2025.
In an example of a nearshoring investment, Honda Motor made an announcement last week that it plans to establish a “comprehensive electric vehicle value chain” in Ontario, Canada. Honda and its joint venture partners are expected to invest approximately CAD$15 billion in this value chain. Honda Motor referenced their Honda EV Hub project in Ohio and how that project is an important part of their value chain in North America.

https://hondanews.com/en-US/honda-corporate/releases/release-c0e904130abdddafe05400397a01473d-honda-progress-in-establishment-of-ev-hub-in-ohio-will-lead-to-ev-production-in-north-america
The Honda investment is one of several we have previously referenced in Ohio, and it is noted in our new market portrait for Columbus. During 2024, we intend to showcase individual PLYM markets. Columbus is our first market report that we’ve prepared in conjunction with the team at Avison Young. You can find a copy of this report on our corporate site at https://www.plymouthreit.com/columbus.
One of the highlights from the Columbus report is a snapshot of where some of our Columbus properties are located in relation to key logistics infrastructure such as the railroads and John Glenn Columbus International Airport and Rickenbacker International Airport.
There are two buildings in the Rickenbacker Submarket. 2626 Port Road is a rear load, 156,000- square-foot building which practically overlooks the Rickenbacker Airport. 3100 Creekside Parkway in Lockbourne also benefits from close proximity to Rickenbacker as it is 3.2 miles north of the airport. New World Drive and Williams Road are less than 10 miles from Norfolk Southern Rickenbacker Intermodal.
7001 Americana Parkway in Reynoldsburg measures 54,100 square feet and is the closest building in the portfolio to the technology and data center developments on the northeast side of the market. This asset also is just under 1.5 miles from the I-70 / Brice Road full interchange.
The second largest building in the portfolio, measures 527,100 square feet and is located at 3500 Southwest Boulevard in Grove City next door to Walmart’s Regional DC and two doors down from FedEx Ground. This building is also the closest to CSX Intermodal and UPS Hub at I-70 & I-270.
The four Lewis Center assets on the north side of the market have less proximity to logistics infrastructure but benefit from proximity to affluent housing clusters and major corporate employment hubs and retail.

The other five assets we own in the Columbus market total 1,191,536 square feet and are located approximately one-hour from Columbus.
Development Program Update
We have one project left to deliver in the first phase of our development program. This project is a 52,920-square-foot fully leased industrial building in Jacksonville that will deliver in Q4 of this year. With the signing of a 54,008-square-foot lease at our project in Cincinnati, we are now 93% leased across the entire 772,622-square-foot program. We have several RFPs out with tenants on the remaining 53,000 square feet available in Cincinnati.
The development program will ultimately represent a total investment of $68.5 million, $61.1 million of which has been funded (see page 7 of the supplemental). The proforma stabilized cash NOI yields on the projects under construction and completed range between 7% to 9%.
Leasing Update
Leasing activity at our properties remains strong, with nearly 1.4 million square feet of leases commencing during Q1 at a rate 17.1% higher than expiring rents. These results are tempered by the large number of fixed rate renewals that kicked in during the quarter. The leasing results for Q1 are broken down as follows for leases commencing during these periods (calculated on a cash basis and excluding development program leases):
· | First quarter |
o | 928,217 SF of renewal leases commenced at a 5.9% increase |
o | Renewal rate was 66.9% |
o | 41.6% of these renewals were contractual, which are typically at a lower rental rate increases and are frequently exercised earlier in the year |
o | 459,760 SF of new leases commenced at a 48.4% increase |
o | Blended increase of 17.1% |
As reported last quarter, we addressed over 45% of our 2024 lease rollover before the year began. With additional activity performed through April 29, we now have addressed over 58% of the 2024 expirations.
Based on the blended rate of 16.5% achieved to date and the leases yet to expire, we estimate the mark-to-market in the portfolio to be 18% to 20%. Again, our results so far are a bit tempered by the fixed rate renewals (these contractual renewals show up in the early part of the year since they usually have a six-to-nine-month notification requirement). There will be no further fixed rate renewals impacting 2024 rate increases. If you add in annual lease escalators that are now approximately 3% across the portfolio, we have a significant opportunity to drive organic growth through our leasing activities.
· | Full year 2024 (executed through April 29, 2024) |
o | 3,310,261 SF of renewal leases signed at a 13.1% increase |
o | Renewal rate so far of 79.8% |
o | 25.8% of these renewals were contractual |
o | 838,583 SF of new leases signed at a 28.9% increase |
o | Blended increase of 16.5% |
We continue to actively market our largest lease expiration in 2024, the 769,500-square-foot single-tenant lease at our Class A industrial building in the Metro East submarket of St. Louis. Over the past several weeks we have been working with two manufacturing groups and a leading logistics provider to potentially relocate their operations into our facility. As they continue to work on their business plans over the next few weeks, we expect to refine our lease proposals to meet their requirements. In addition to these activities, we are also aggressively marketing the property to users across the country. A marketing video of the property can be found at the following link: https://walkthruit.com/3919-lakeview-drive/. As you can see, the building is located in an attractive park with access to major interstates in the St. Louis area. We are confident we will be able to get this building leased given its location and recent build. We have not updated any of the possible scenarios with this property that we previously outlined in our Fourth Quarter 2023 Commentary. We refer investors to those comments.
Looking across the portfolio, there are no other tenants within our top 10 list scheduled to expire during the year, but Communication Test Design, Inc does expire at the end of the year (see page 24 of the supplemental). We have been in renewal negotiations with this tenant and expect to have this lease addressed shortly.
There are two known moveouts that we discussed on the Q3 call. These two expirations were the drivers for the overall occupancy drop from Q4 2023 from 98.1% to 96.9% at the end of Q1 2024. The first is for 313,982 square feet in Chicago which occurred at the end of 2023. We are actively marketing that space and the moveout is baked into guidance, but we have several very good prospects looking at the space, including interest from another in-place tenant.
The second known move out, is located at 9150 Latty Avenue in St. Louis. We had previously mentioned that we had agreed to terms with a new tenant for this 142,364-square-foot facility and continue to work through a longer tenant deliberation as we progress toward execution.
Disposition Update
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the tenant occupying an industrial property located in Columbus, Ohio, provided notice of its intention to exercise the fixed purchase option stated within their lease. The lease agreement requires the sale to close in August 2024 at a fixed price of approximately $21.5 million. In accordance with GAAP, we reclassified the respective real estate property to net investment in sales-type lease totaling $21.5 million on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, de-recognized the net book value of the property assets for $13.5 million and recognized a gain on sale of real estate of $8.0 million related to this transaction. For more detailed information on the accounting treatment for sales-type leases, please refer to Footnote 4 of our Form 10-Q.
In addition to the exercise of the tenant purchase option noted above, there are a handful of potential dispositions that we continue to evaluate over the next twelve months. These potential dispositions would serve as accretive sources of capital to fund additional growth opportunities; we would estimate that these potential dispositions could generate net proceeds of up to $50 million in 2024.
We now have better visibility on a number of acquisition opportunities that we are evaluating in our existing markets in which we could realize accretive yields, capture incremental property management fees and drive value creation. The size of these acquisitions range from $10 million for our traditional “singles and doubles” type takedowns to $100 million for larger portfolios that contain a mix of single- and multi-tenant occupiers, generally less than 4 years of remaining lease term, with above 85% occupancy and mark-to-market opportunities consistent with our portfolio averages.
Balance Sheet Update
Some of the balance sheet highlights as of March 31, 2024 are as follows (see pages 15-16 of the supplemental):
· | Net debt to EBITDA of 6.7X |
· | 69.4% of our total debt is unsecured |
· | 93.7% of our debt is fixed, including with the use of interest rate swaps with a total weighted average cost of 3.99% |
· | $194.6 million of capacity on our unsecured credit facility |
· | Our only debt maturity until August 2025 is a life company secured mortgage loan totaling $18.2 million that matures in August 2024, which we plan to pay off through borrowings on the credit facility |
As previously discussed, we intend to stay in the 6X range in terms of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA. We will fluctuate a bit this year based on seasonality – like we saw in the first quarter. We will be flexible to go a little below where we were at year end 2023 to slightly above it to complete a transaction – assuming that we don’t have disposition proceeds to help offset those borrowings as well. Our bias for 2025 is still to operate at the low end of the 6X range.
Discussion of First Quarter of 2024
The first quarter Core FFO was $0.45 per share driven by the elimination of preferred stock dividends as a result of the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock completed September 2023, sequential improvement in leasing spreads within our same store portfolio, contributions from our phase 1 developments, namely Jacksonville and Atlanta, partially offset by increases in operating expenses primarily due to increase real estate tax assessments and decline in occupancy during Q1 2024.
Same store NOI, excluding early termination fees, experienced a 7.0% increase on a cash basis during the quarter which is consistent with the full year guidance. Same store performance reflects the sequential growth in revenue from our new and renewal leasing in the portfolio supported by improved expense reimbursement as we convert expiring rollover to triple-net lease structures.
G&A for the quarter was slightly lower than anticipated but consistent with Q1 2023 results.
Interest expense during the first quarter reflected the full quarterly net impact of the AIG refinancing using the line of credit and the $100 million of interest rate swaps that were executed. As of March 31, 2024, our only variable rate exposure is the $55.4 million of the $155.4 million outstanding balance on the line of credit that has not been fixed via interest rate swaps.
Discussion of 2024 Guidance and Assumptions
For our FY 2024 outlook (see page 9 of the supplemental), absent the potential impacts from the leasing surrounding the 769,500-square-foot building in St. Louis, we anticipate the quarterly cadence within Core FFO to trend very similar to FY 2023, with Q1 being more muted as a result of weather-related impacts and the timing of professional fees, then ramping up during the second half of the year as the balance of phase 1 developments stabilize, we execute on the reminder of 2024 lease expirations and experience improved flow through on tenant recoveries as a percentage of operating expenses. With 93.7% of our debt fixed (inclusive of interest rate swaps) and only $18.2 million of 2024 debt maturities, we do not anticipate interest rate variability to be notable.
Additionally, similar to what we’ve experienced in the second half of 2023, we expect GAAP rent adjustments to remain subdued (meaning that there are less straight line rent adjustments included within Core FFO to report and therefore to project in guidance or modeling) as market rent adjustments recorded upon prior acquisitions continue to burn off, coupled with a decline in free rent concessions and other lease incentives during recent lease executions and negotiations. This trend also means that NOI on a GAAP basis is now converging with NOI on a cash basis.
We affirmed our full year guidance range for Core FFO that we issued on February 21, 2024, and included the impacts of the aforementioned tenant exercise of its purchase option. The reconciliation of net income attributable to common stockholders and unit holders per share to Core FFO guidance was updated to reflect the gain on sale of real estate associated with the tenant purchase option.
Conclusion
Looking ahead to the balance of the year, we are focused on driving growth through improved portfolio operations in the three areas we mentioned last quarter: SS NOI growth, stabilization of the development program, and improvement in NOI margin.
Thank you for your continued interest and investment in Plymouth.
