Pending Merger Transaction

On April 24, 2022, the Company and PS Business Parks, L.P. (the “OP”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) whereby affiliates of Blackstone Real Estate (“Blackstone”) will acquire all outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock for $187.50 per share in cash. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, each share of the Company’s common stock and each common unit of partnership interest of the OP, respectively, will be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $187.50, without interest. Each share of the Company’s outstanding preferred stock (and each depositary share representing an interest therein) will be unaffected and will remain outstanding in accordance with their respective terms. The merger transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2022. However, the merger transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by the Company’s common stockholders. The Company can provide no assurances regarding whether the merger will close when expected or at all.

Financial Results

Net income allocable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $72.0 million, or $2.60 per diluted common share.

FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $1.65 per share, representing a 1.2% decrease from the same period in 2021. The decrease in FFO per share for the first quarter was due to a one-time cash payment of $6.6 million to the former Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), for RSUs and a $0.1 million cash payment for COBRA coverage reimbursement, in accordance with his separation agreement, partially offset by $0.6 million non-cash adjustment related to the reversal of stock compensation for the unvested former CEO's shares, net of dividend forfeiture expense. The decrease in FFO was partially offset by lower preferred distributions in the first quarter due to the Series W preferred stock redemption in Q4 2021.

Core FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $1.82 per share, representing a 9.0% increase from the same period in 2021. Core FFO excludes the impact of the one-time cost associated with the Company's payout of the above-mentioned former CEO compensation expense.

FAD for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $50.2 million, representing a 0.1% decrease from the same period in 2021. The decrease in FAD for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 is primarily attributable to higher recurring capital expenditures compared to the same period in the prior year, virtually offset by higher Same Park Cash NOI driven by higher weighted average occupancy combined with higher cash rent growth compared to the same period in the prior year.

Same Park NOI was $74.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, representing a 7.7% increase over the same period in 2021.

The Company also reports NOI on a cash basis, which excludes non-cash rental income such as amortization of deferred rent receivable and other non-cash items. Same Park Cash NOI was $73.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, representing an 8.6% increase over the same period in 2021. The increase in Same Park Cash NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily driven by higher weighted average occupancy in the first quarter of 2022, which was 96.0% versus 93.3% for the same period in 2021. The Company noted that Same Park Cash Rental Income per occupied square foot increased by 4.6% during the period, from $16.10 in 2021 to $16.84 in 2022.

Definitions/Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Cash NOI – We utilize cash NOI to evaluate the cash flow performance of our business parks. Cash NOI represents NOI adjusted to exclude non-cash items included in rental income and non-cash expenses. The non-cash rental income includes amortization of deferred rent receivable (net of write-offs), in-place lease intangible, tenant improvement reimbursements, and lease incentives. The non-cash expense is equal to stock compensation expense for employees whose compensation expense is recorded in GAAP cost of operations in the amount of $0.5 million. We believe that cash NOI assists investors in analyzing cash flow performance of our business parks.

Cash NOI Margin – Cash NOI margin is computed by dividing Cash NOI by Cash Rental Income.

Cash Rental Income – Cash rental income represents rental income, excluding non-cash rental income, specifically amortization of deferred rent receivable (net of write-offs), in-place lease intangible, tenant improvement reimbursements, and lease incentives.

Cash Rental Income per Occupied Square Feet – Computed by dividing Cash rental income for the period by weighted average occupied square feet. Cash rental income per occupied square feet for the three month period shown is annualized.

Core Funds from Operations (Core FFO) – We calculate Core FFO by adjusting FFO, as defined below, excluding the impact of (i) charges related to the redemption of preferred stock and (ii) other nonrecurring income or expense items as appropriate. Management believes that Core FFO is a useful supplemental measure as it provides a more meaningful and consistent comparison of operating performance and allows investors to more easily compare the Company’s operating results. Because certain of these adjustments have a real economic impact on our financial condition and results from operations, the utility of Core FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other REITs may not calculate Core FFO in a consistent manner. Accordingly, our Core FFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ Core FFO. Core FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance.

Cost of Operations under Cash NOI – Cash cost of operations represents cost of operations, excluding non-cash stock compensation expense for employees whose compensation expense is recorded in cost of operations in the amount of $0.5 million, which can vary significantly period to period based upon the performance of the Company.

Funds Available for Distribution (FAD) – FAD is a non-GAAP measure that represents FFO adjusted to (a) deduct recurring capital improvements that maintains the condition of our real estate, tenant improvements and lease commissions and (b) remove certain non-cash rental income or expenses such as amortization of deferred rent receivable and non-cash stock compensation expense, and (c) charges related to the redemption of preferred stock. We believe our presentation of FAD assists investors and analysts in analyzing and comparing our operating and financial performance between reporting periods. FAD is not a substitute for GAAP net cash flow in evaluating our liquidity or ability to pay dividends, because they exclude investing and financing activities presented on our statements of cash flows.

Funds from Operations (FFO) – We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, gains (or losses) from sales of assets incidental to our business, impairment losses of depreciable operating property or assets incidental to our business, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and amortization of above/below-market lease intangibles) and after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, other than temporary impairments of unconsolidated real estate entities, and impairment on our investment in real estate, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of performance used by other REITs, FFO may be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other equity REITs may not calculate or interpret FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition 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. FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance. A reconciliation of net income, the nearest GAAP equivalent, to FFO is under the additional financial data section.

Net Operating Income (NOI) – We utilize NOI, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the operating performance of our business parks. We define NOI as rental income less cost of operations. We believe NOI assists investors in analyzing the performance and value of our business parks by excluding (i) corporate overhead (i.e. general and administrative expenses) because it does not relate to the results of our business parks and (ii) depreciation and amortization expense because it does not accurately reflect changes in the fair value of our business parks.

NOI Margin – NOI margin is computed by dividing NOI by rental income.

Revenue Per Occupied Square Foot – Computed by dividing rental income for the period by weighted average occupied for the same period. Revenue per occupied square foot for the three month period shown is annualized.

Same Park – The Company believes that evaluation of the Same Park portfolio, defined as all properties owned and operated as of March 31, 2022 that were acquired prior to January 1, 2020, provides an informative view of how the Company’s portfolio has performed over comparable periods. As of March 31, 2022, the Same Park portfolio consisted of 25.7 million square feet, or 95.3% of the Company’s 27.0 million total square feet, excluding the Company’s 95.0% interest in a 395-unit multifamily property.
