Equity Commonwealth (NYSE:EQC) today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024
Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $28.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. This compares to net income attributable to common shareholders of $24.1 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in net income was primarily due to a $50.2 million loss on asset impairment.
Funds from Operations, or FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, were $26.2 million, or $0.24 per diluted share. This compares to FFO for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 of $28.7 million, or $0.26 per diluted share. The following items impacted FFO for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to the corresponding 2023 period:
- $(0.02) per diluted share increase in general and administrative expenses, including $1.2 million of wind down costs incurred during the quarter;
- $(0.01) per diluted share decrease in same property NOI; and
- $0.01 per diluted share increase in interest and other income, net.
Normalized FFO was $27.4 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. This compares to Normalized FFO for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 of $28.6 million, or $0.26 per diluted share. The following items impacted Normalized FFO for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to the corresponding 2023 period:
- $(0.01) per diluted share decrease in same property NOI;
- $(0.01) per diluted share increase in general and administrative expenses; and
- $0.01 per diluted share increase in interest and other income, net.
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.
Our two Austin properties and 1250 H Street are classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2024. We recognized a $50.2 million loss on asset impairment related to these properties. The impairment charge reflects our estimated market value of the properties less costs to sell. Of the $50.2 million loss on asset impairment, $33.9 million was charged against the net book value of the real estate and $16.3 million was charged against non-real estate assets to be transferred to a buyer or written off upon sale.
As of September 30, 2024, the company's cash and cash equivalents balance was $2.2 billion.
Same property results for the quarter ended September 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 69.7% leased as of September 30, 2024, compared to 71.4% as of June 30, 2024, and 80.8% as of September 30, 2023.
- The same property portfolio commenced occupancy was 69.4% as of September 30, 2024, compared to 70.7% as of June 30, 2024, and 79.9% as of September 30, 2023.
- Same property NOI decreased 16.0% when compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to a decrease in average commenced occupancy.
- Same property cash NOI decreased 15.4% when compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to a decrease in average commenced occupancy.
- The company did not enter into any leases during the quarter.
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 July 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024.
Disposition Update
The sale of our two Austin properties, Bridgepoint Square and 206 East 9th Street, and 1250 H Street in Washington, D.C. are under contract with non-refundable earnest money deposits. These sales, which do not require shareholder approval of the Company's Plan of Sale, are anticipated to begin closing in early November 2024, subject in each case to contractual extensions and other closing conditions. Current pricing for these sales is consistent with the assumptions underlying the estimated aggregate shareholder distribution range of $19.50 to $21.00 per share disclosed in our definitive proxy statement (the "Definitive Proxy") filed on October 2, 2024 in connection with the special meeting of shareholders scheduled for November 12, 2024, where the Company intends to seek shareholder approval of its Plan of Sale. The closing of these sales is not expected to impact the estimated range or timing of the initial cash distribution to our common shareholders as disclosed in the Definitive Proxy, which we estimated to be $18.00 to $19.00 per share and paid within thirty days following shareholder approval of the Plan of Sale after payment of the liquidation preference to the holders of our Series D Preferred Shares. The marketing of our property located at 1225 Seventeenth Street in Denver, CO commenced in September 2024. Any closing on the sale of the Denver property will occur after shareholder approval of the Plan of Sale.
While we are focused on executing on the sale of our assets, the market conditions for selling office assets are uniquely challenging at this time. As a result, we may not be able to complete sales in a timely manner, if at all, any such dispositions could be completed for less than estimated, and our liquidating distributions could be delayed or reduced as a result.
We will provide updates with respect to the dispositions of our four remaining properties if and to the extent that any sales close.

Our calculations of FFO and Normalized FFO attributable to EQC common shareholders and unitholders per share and unit - basic for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 include 154 and 361 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 include 180 and 348 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 July 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024. The year-to-date same property versions of these measures include the results of properties continuously owned from January 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024. |

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. |
