    Equity Commonwealth (NYSE:EQC) today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

    Financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024

    Net income attributable to common shareholders was $22.2 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. This compares to net income attributable to common shareholders of $13.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The increase in net income was primarily due to a decrease in general and administrative expenses due to accelerated compensation expense related to the passing of our former chairman in 2023 and an increase in interest income from higher average interest rates.

    Funds from Operations, or FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, were $26.4 million, or $0.24 per diluted share. This compares to FFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 of $18.3 million, or $0.16 per diluted share. The following items impacted FFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to the corresponding 2023 period:

    • $0.05 per diluted share decrease in general and administrative expenses primarily due to accelerated compensation expense related to the passing of our former chairman in 2023; and
    • $0.02 per diluted share increase in interest and other income, net.

    Normalized FFO was $26.1 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. This compares to Normalized FFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 of $24.6 million, or $0.22 per diluted share. The following items impacted Normalized FFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to the corresponding 2023 period:

    • $0.02 per diluted share increase in interest and other income, net; and
    • $(0.01) per diluted share decrease in same property NOI.

    Normalized FFO begins with FFO and eliminates certain items that, by their nature, are not comparable from period to period, non-cash items, and items that obscure the company's operating performance. Definitions of FFO, Normalized FFO and reconciliations to net income, determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, are included at the end of this press release.

    As of June 30, 2024, the company's cash and cash equivalents balance was $2.2 billion.

    Same property results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024

    The company's same property portfolio at the end of the quarter consisted of 4 properties totaling 1.5 million square feet. Operating results were as follows:

    • The same property portfolio was 71.4% leased as of June 30, 2024, compared to 75.4% as of March 31, 2024, and 82.0% as of June 30, 2023.
    • The same property portfolio commenced occupancy was 70.7% as of June 30, 2024, compared to 74.6% as of March 31, 2024, and 78.2% as of June 30, 2023.
    • Same property NOI decreased 3.3% when compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to a decrease in average commenced occupancy, partially offset by a decrease in pre-leasing demolition costs.
    • Same property cash NOI decreased 10.4% when compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to a decrease in average commenced occupancy, partially offset by a decrease in pre-leasing demolition costs.
    • The company entered into leases for approximately 24,000 square feet, including renewal leases for approximately 20,000 square feet and new leases for approximately 4,000 square feet.
    • The GAAP rental rate on new and renewal leases was 6.8% higher compared to the prior GAAP rental rate for the same space.
    • The cash rental rate on new and renewal leases was 0.7% higher compared to the prior cash rental rate for the same space.

    The definitions and reconciliations of same property NOI and same property cash NOI to net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, are included at the end of this press release. The same property portfolio at the end of the quarter included properties continuously owned from April 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.

    Our calculations of FFO and Normalized FFO attributable to EQC common shareholders and unitholders per share and unit - basic for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 include 162 and 357 LTIP/Operating Partnership Units, respectively, that are excluded from the calculation of basic earnings per common share attributable to EQC common shareholders (only). Our calculations of FFO and Normalized FFO attributable to EQC common shareholders and unitholders per share and unit - basic for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 include 193 and 341 LTIP/Operating Partnership Units, respectively, that are excluded from the calculation of basic earnings per common share attributable to EQC common shareholders (only).

    We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by Nareit. Nareit defines FFO as net income (loss), calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding real estate depreciation and amortization, gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable property, impairment of depreciable real estate and our portion of these items related to equity investees and noncontrolling interests. Our calculation of Normalized FFO differs from Nareit's definition of FFO because we exclude certain items that we view as nonrecurring or impacting comparability from period to period. FFO and Normalized FFO are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures. We consider FFO and Normalized FFO to be appropriate measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to EQC common shareholders and cash flow from operating activities.

     

    We believe that FFO and Normalized FFO provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation expense, FFO and Normalized FFO may facilitate a comparison of our operating performance between periods and with other REITs. FFO and Normalized FFO do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to EQC common shareholders or cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, or as indicators of our financial performance or liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of our needs. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to EQC common shareholders and cash flow from operating activities as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate FFO and Normalized FFO differently than we do.

    Cash Basis NOI from non-same properties for all periods presented includes the operations of disposed properties.

    NOI is income from our real estate including lease termination fees received from tenants less our property operating expenses. NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions and corporate level expenses. Cash Basis NOI is NOI excluding the effects of straight-line rent adjustments, lease value amortization and lease termination fees. The quarter-to-date same property versions of these measures include the results of properties continuously owned from April 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024. The year-to-date same property versions of these measures include the results of properties continuously owned from January 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024. Properties classified as held for sale within our condensed consolidated balance sheets are excluded from the same property versions of these measures.

     

    We consider these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to be appropriate supplemental measures to net income (loss) because they may help to understand the operations of our properties. We use these measures internally to evaluate property level performance, and we believe that they provide useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because they reflect only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level and may facilitate comparisons of our operating performance between periods and with other REITs. Cash Basis NOI is among the factors considered with respect to acquisition, disposition and financing decisions. These measures do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to Equity Commonwealth common shareholders or cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, or as indicators of our financial performance or liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of our needs. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to EQC common shareholders and cash flow from operating activities as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate these measures differently than we do.
