| So it was very encouraging for us |
| The necessity-based nature and high percentage of actual or implied investment-grade tenants in our portfolio, provide dependable long-term cash flows, and we believe the potential for continued rental growth remains through leasing up available space |
| We've demonstrated an ability to successfully delever in the past and expect that we will do so again throughout this year |
| We continue to execute on our asset management strategy with strong leasing results across the portfolio, including a 12.7% spread on our multi-tenant lease renewals in our multi-tenant portfolio |
| We believe we're well positioned to continue to benefit from a robust retail environment and a strong world-class portfolio |
| So again, I think the biggest takeaway in the first quarter was there was a lot of activity, a lot of positive activity, as we talked about with the leasing and leasing pipeline, getting the portfolio occupancy up to 94.5% and then seeing revenue increase the spreads on renewals up over 12% |
| The upward trajectory of this spread is encouraging and consistent with the demand we're seeing for the quality of our shopping centers |
| When we're acquiring, and we are very optimistic about the opportunities here |
| As of quarter end, the multi-tenant lease renewals had a spread of plus 12.7% between the previous rent and the rent payable under the terms of the renewal, demonstrating the strong renewal demand and market for our suburban multi-tenant assets |
| So again, I think is just -- it highlights what we're so excited about in the overall portfolio |
| We think that the activity for 2023 is going to really put the company in an even better position |
| And where we agreed to go forward, we felt that it was at full value and good for the overall strategy |
| Annualized straight-line rent increased over 8% year-over-year to $374.9 million, and the square footage of our portfolio grew over 5% year-over-year to approximately 27.6 million square feet, in large part due to the acquisition we completed last year |
| We're seeing really strong leasing activity, new tenants coming in |
| And as you all know, that will unlock some great embedded value in the portfolio |
| We increased NOI and cash NOI by $10.9 million and $9.5 million, respectively, compared to the same quarter of 2022 and adjusted EBITDA grew by over 15% to $70.4 million |
| We continue to make great progress on some of our key strategic objectives during the first quarter, including leasing available space, renewing leases with existing tenants, enhancing our balance sheet through strategic dispositions and reducing our net debt by approximately $29 million from the prior quarter |
| The tenants are very solid |
| The significant commitment we've made to asset and property management continued to deliver results |
| To continue enhancing our portfolio, we've built a leasing pipeline that we expect to grow occupancy and increase straight-line rent |
| So as we've continued to focus on leasing spreads with renewals, as we've continued to drive occupancy and we're seeing the growth in our revenue |
| The portfolio also boasts strong exposure to Sunbelt states, where we own properties that generate 57% of our portfolio-wide annualized straight-line rent |
| The industries are very solid |
| This strength has carried over into the second quarter |
| We've been extremely active at marketing these properties and have received robust interest |
| We have a robust leasing pipeline as of May 1, which includes leases executed after the end of the first quarter of over 500,000 square feet for $7.1 million in annualized straight-line rent in the multi-tenant portfolio |
| The dispositions we've completed in the pipeline of future dispositions are expected to generate net proceeds that we can use to continue reducing our net debt which has improved by over $80 million since the end of the third quarter of 2022 |
| Would you characterize it being more along the lines of the assets that you're transacting are kind of more bite-sized properties with very specific targeted buyers as your ability to transact there? Or is there something else going on? Michael Weil No, I think that -- first of all, it's a positive to the quality of the entire portfolio |
| Another of RTLs historic strengths has been maintaining a broad and diversified portfolio |
| Our first quarter 2023 FFO was $23.6 million or $0.18 per share, and NOI was $86.7 million, a 14.3% increase over the $75.8 million of NOI we reported in the first quarter of 2022 |
| Statement |
|---|
| First quarter AFFO was $30.5 million or $0.23 per share, down $0.01 compared to the first quarter of 2022 |
| When we look at companies that we cover in the hotel space, office industrial, I mean, those transaction markets are basically stalled |
| It seems like Burger King was the only one that impacted the first quarter results |
| Finally, Bed Bath & Beyond and its subsidiaries, which represent only 1.4% of our total annualized straight-line rent filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in April |
| Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements |
| We were a little surprised to see the volume dollar-wise, of your transaction activity, both completed and pipeline |
