| Statement |
|---|
| As we continue to see a return to office, we believe we are well situated for continued leasing growth as a result of our close proximity to major transportation |
| Across our portfolio, we continue to realize the benefits of our ongoing leasing and tenant retention initiatives |
| GAAP net loss also improved compared to the second quarter of 2023, which was $10.9 million |
| While this asset was small in terms of our overall portfolio, our team was able to find a sutical buyer and was able to consummate this transaction in a challenging New York City commercial real estate market, illustrating our relentless effort when pursuing transactions that we believe will strategically benefit the company and its shareholders |
| The growth was achieved through a reduction in G&A and operating expenses, coupled with our ongoing leasing success |
| Our successful leasing volume, combined with ongoing expense management resulted in year-over-year increases in revenue, NOI and adjusted EBITDA and improvements over the second quarter of 2023 |
| We are beginning to see the benefit of our long-term focus on leasing through improved leasing spreads across the company and believe this will continue into 2024 |
| Touching on the quarterly results before Joe discusses them in more detail, the efforts of our asset and property management teams resulted in an 18% increase in adjusted EBITDA and cash NOI growth of 4.9% compared to the prior year |
| Our leasing success this year has driven consistent incremental improvement in many of our key metrics |
| Our continued proactive asset management approach contributes to the long-term strength of our $828 million, 1.2 million square foot portfolio of New York City real estate |
| Our portfolio weighted average remaining lease term was 6.6 years as over 40% of our leases extend beyond the year 2030 based on annualized straight-line rent, which we believe enhances the stability of the real estate we have |
| So we’re very pleased that, that will not impact any of our assets |
| The recent addition of service for the Long Island Railroad in Grand Central makes the Midtown South submarket a very desirable area for office leasing, which we believe will continue the positive momentum we are experiencing in leasing at 200 West 41st Street and 1140 Avenue of the Americas |
| Compared to the second quarter, adjusted EBITDA grew by 14% and core FFO increased by $0.26 per share |
| As a result of this leasing momentum and our continued focus on proactive expense management, we expect losses to narrow again in the fourth quarter and core FFO to turn positive in 2024 as pipeline leases commence and momentum continues |
| As we look to 2024 and the year of positive performance, we continue to focus on the proactive asset management of our portfolio that has grown our occupancy by 2.4% this year, while also looking towards the growth of ASIC through expanded investment opportunities that we believe will be accretive |
| Our third quarter results once again demonstrated the effectiveness of our consistent focus on portfolio management |
| Through the end of the third quarter, we have completed 10 new leases this year that have contributed to a 2.4% increase in occupancy to 85.1% across our portfolio, up from 82.7% at the end of 2022 |
| The adjusted EBITDA and cash NOI growth we accomplished this quarter can be attributed to our ongoing commitment to portfolio management and our focus on maximizing the value of the properties that we have |
| This forward leasing pipeline will also increase portfolio occupancy to 86.3% net of terminations, representing a 3.6% increase in occupancy since December 31, 2022 |
| In recent years, we have taken advantage of opportunities to invest in the long-term future of our portfolio, and we believe that expanding the scope of our assets is the next step forward for the company |
| These tenants had a remaining lease term of 8.9 years, providing further stability in our portfolio |
| Core FFO improved to negative $1.1 million or negative $0.48 per share, compared to negative $1.12 in the third quarter of 2022 and negative $0.74 in the second quarter of 2023 |
| The company’s third quarter GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders was $9.4 million, compared to a net loss of $11.1 million in the third quarter of 2022, representing a year-over-year improvement of $1.7 million |
| For the third quarter of 2023, adjusted EBITDA increased by $0.5 million or 18% to $3.4 million, compared to $2.9 million in 2022 and up 14% compared to second quarter 2023’s adjusted EBITDA of $3 million |
| But as we continue to grow and maximize value within the assets already owned, and we will begin looking at other acquisition opportunities, and we’ll be able to share more as those opportunities present themselves |
| And with that said, we appreciate you joining us today and hope you all have a great day |
| Cash net operating income increased by $0.3 million or 4.9% to $6.5 million compared to $6.2 million in the third quarter of 2022 |
| We are committed to strengthening our existing portfolio of real estate assets as we explore additional income-generating investments |
| But we do – we saw a lot of uptick in traffic and interest in the quarter, which is what has led to the current leasing pipeline |
| Statement |
|---|
| Our FFO attributable to common stockholders was a negative $2.5 million, compared to a negative $4.1 million in the third quarter of 2022 and negative $4 million in the second quarter of this year |
