Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
We're projecting a 3-plus percent increase in FFO per share at the midpoint, primarily driven by improved portfolio operations, leasing and same-store NOI growth
So I think it’s going to be very interesting for us to be able to take advantage of the properties we buy in our markets at fairly attractive cap rates, and as I said, drop them into our property management and get right after them
Second, our balance sheet is the strongest it's been in the history of the company, that's 7 straight quarters of reducing leverage to 6.5x and a half turn ahead of where we thought we could be at year-end
Together with a better recognition of the value we've created in our portfolio, we anticipate this could help provide an attractive total return to our investors while maintaining an FFO payout ratio of 50% to 51% based on our 2024 guidance
It's -- we're not going to benefit from Ford's manufacturing facilities, but we are going to benefit from all the ancillary services that are provided to Ford
We continue to improve the quality of the buildings as we go forward
First, the Golden Triangle is a region that we believe can continue to benefit from onshoring and near-shoring of manufacturing to the U.S., Mexico and Canada as well as the complementary wave of suppliers and distributors
Louis property coupled with savings in interest and general expenses
And we're starting to see some benefits in Jackson as well
So we’re really starting to see a lot of opportunities
And as I mentioned, the upper bound -- to the extent that there's some acceleration around the remaining development square footage, there could be an incremental pickup above the midpoint
And as you know, the JV we did in Memphis a few years back has worked out significantly for us
You noted a $500 million pipeline and a pure-play, potential opportunities, but also noted you're also seeing an increase in JV opportunities
And again, really within our markets, we're seeing opportunities start to percolate across all of our markets
Louis property, but this outcome is buffered by about 125 bp improvement in portfolio expense recovery
We believe this will provide for an efficient use of time during a busy earnings week
We also thought it might be even more beneficial for you to read through our prepared commentary ahead of time
And lastly, I'd like to highlight the Board's decision to increase our dividend by 6.7% effective with the first quarter
Good morning
Obviously -- I think there were some expenses that hit in 3Q and then you were able to collect in 4Q and had an acceleration
And then, again, anything heavy value add – we are starting to see some value-add deals, maybe small portfolios, pop-up that could be very attractive in a JV for us
We like the fee income
Mitch Germain Great
Mitch Germain Great
It’s going to be very interesting to see where those trade
Good morning, and thank you for joining us today
Third, we're focused on accretive growth in 2024 that translates into FFO growth
       

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
Last year, there were some cadence issues with regards to the same property growth
And so we held the midpoint because there could be the possibility that, that is less disruptive than we accounted for on the downside, Mike
But if all of those did not come to fruition, we’re talking about less than 10 bps in terms of a write-off
