Office Properties Income Trust Announces First Quarter 2022 Results

Net Loss of $13.4 Million, or $0.28 Per Share

Normalized FFO of $62.7 Million, or $1.30 Per Share

CAD of $51.0 Million, or $1.06 Per Share

Leased 572,000 Square Feet with a 5.1% Roll-up in Rents and a 10.7 Year Weighted Average Term

Office Properties Income Trust (Nasdaq: OPI) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Christopher Bilotto, President and Chief Operating Officer of OPI, made the following statement:

“OPI’s first quarter results demonstrated continued positive momentum across our business. We completed 572,000 square feet of new and renewal leasing with a 5.1% weighted average roll up in rent and a more than 10 year weighted average lease term. During the past four quarters, we have completed over one million square feet of new leasing, ending the first quarter with same property occupancy greater than 91%. The more than 3.6 million square feet of activity in our leasing pipeline is indicative of an improving demand environment for office space. Normalized FFO and CAD both increased over the prior year period, and we ended the first quarter with nearly $850 million of total liquidity.

We remain committed to our capital recycling program to enhance portfolio quality, generate CAD accretion and manage leverage levels. During the quarter, we sold or agreed to sell six non-core properties, and we are maintaining our previously announced guidance for full year 2022 dispositions to be in the range of approximately $400 million to $500 million in aggregate proceeds. This will allow us to strengthen our portfolio through active development projects and refine our balance sheet, while increasing shareholder returns over the long term."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

OPI presents certain “non-GAAP financial measures” within the meaning of the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, including FFO, Normalized FFO, CAD, NOI, Cash Basis NOI, Same Property NOI and Same Property Cash Basis NOI. These measures do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) as indicators of OPI’s operating performance or as measures of OPI’s liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) as presented in OPI's condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). OPI considers these non-GAAP measures to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance for a real estate investment trust, or REIT, along with net income (loss). OPI believes these measures provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation and amortization expense, they may facilitate a comparison of OPI’s operating performance between periods and with other REITs and, in the case of NOI, Cash Basis NOI, Same Property NOI and Same Property Cash Basis NOI reflecting only those income and expense items that are generated and incurred at the property level may help both investors and management to understand the operations of OPI's properties.

Please see the pages attached hereto for a more detailed statement of OPI’s operating results and financial condition and for an explanation of OPI’s calculation of FFO, Normalized FFO, CAD, NOI, Cash Basis NOI, Same Property NOI and Same Property Cash Basis NOI and a reconciliation of those amounts to amounts determined in accordance with GAAP.

Loss on impairment of real estate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 represents an adjustment of $2,184 to reduce the carrying value of one property to its estimated fair value less costs to sell and an adjustment of $14,863 to reduce the carrying value of one property that was held and used to its estimated fair value. Loss on impairment of real estate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 represents an adjustment of $7,660 to reduce the carrying value of two properties to their estimated fair values less costs to sell.

Incentive fees under OPI's business management agreement with The RMR Group LLC are payable after the end of each calendar year, are calculated based on common share total return, as defined, and are included in general and administrative expense in OPI’s condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). In calculating net income (loss) in accordance with GAAP, OPI recognizes estimated business management incentive fee expense, if any, in the first, second and third quarters. Although OPI recognizes this expense, if any, in the first, second and third quarters for purposes of calculating net income (loss), OPI does not include such expense in the calculation of Normalized FFO until the fourth quarter, when the amount of the business management incentive fee expense for the calendar year, if any, is determined. No estimated business management incentive fee expense was included in net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 includes $5,200 of estimated business management incentive fee expense.

 

(3)

Gain on sale of real estate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 represents a $2,149 net gain on the sale of four properties. Gain on sale of real estate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 represents a $54,004 net gain on the sale of two properties.

 

(4)

 

 

OPI calculates FFO and Normalized FFO as shown above. FFO is calculated on the basis defined by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, which is net income (loss), calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus real estate depreciation and amortization of consolidated properties and its proportionate share of the real estate depreciation and amortization of unconsolidated joint venture properties, but excluding impairment charges on real estate assets and any gain or loss on sale of real estate, as well as certain other adjustments currently not applicable to OPI. In calculating Normalized FFO, OPI adjusts for the other items shown above and includes business management incentive fees, if any, only in the fourth quarter versus the quarter when they are recognized as an expense in accordance with GAAP due to their quarterly volatility not necessarily being indicative of OPI’s core operating performance and the uncertainty as to whether any such business management incentive fees will be payable when all contingencies for determining such fees are known at the end of the calendar year. FFO and Normalized FFO are among the factors considered by OPI’s Board of Trustees when determining the amount of distributions to OPI’s shareholders. Other factors include, but are not limited to, requirements to maintain OPI's qualification for taxation as a REIT, limitations in OPI’s credit agreement and public debt covenants, the availability to OPI of debt and equity capital, OPI’s expectation of its future capital requirements and operating performance and OPI’s expected needs for and availability of cash to pay its obligations. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate FFO and Normalized FFO differently than OPI does.

 

(5)

 

 

OPI calculates CAD as shown above. OPI defines CAD as Normalized FFO minus recurring real estate related capital expenditures and adjusted for other non-cash and non-recurring items plus certain amounts excluded from Normalized FFO but settled in cash, if any. CAD is among the factors considered by OPI's Board of Trustees when determining the amount of distributions to its shareholders. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate CAD differently than OPI does.

 

(6)

 

 

Non-cash expenses include equity based compensation, adjustments recorded to capitalize interest expense and amortization of the liability for the amount by which the estimated fair value for accounting purposes exceeded the price OPI paid for its former investment in The RMR Group Inc., or RMR Inc., common stock in June 2015. This liability is being amortized on a straight line basis through December 31, 2035 as an allocated reduction to business management fee expense and property management fee expense, which are included in general and administrative and other operating expenses, respectively.

The calculations of NOI and Cash Basis NOI exclude certain components of net income (loss) in order to provide results that are more closely related to OPI’s property level results of operations. OPI calculates NOI and Cash Basis NOI as shown above. OPI defines NOI as income from its rental of real estate less its property operating expenses. NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions that OPI records as depreciation and amortization expense. OPI defines Cash Basis NOI as NOI excluding non-cash straight line rent adjustments, lease value amortization, lease termination fees, if any, and non-cash amortization included in other operating expenses. OPI calculates Same Property NOI and Same Property Cash Basis NOI in the same manner that it calculates the corresponding NOI and Cash Basis NOI amounts, except that it only includes same properties in calculating Same Property NOI and Same Property Cash Basis NOI. OPI uses NOI, Cash Basis NOI, Same Property NOI and Same Property Cash Basis NOI to evaluate individual and company-wide property level performance. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate NOI, Cash Basis NOI, Same Property NOI and Same Property Cash Basis NOI differently than OPI does.

 

(2)

 

OPI recorded a liability for the amount by which the estimated fair value for accounting purposes exceeded the price OPI paid for its former investment in RMR Inc. common stock in June 2015. A portion of this liability is being amortized on a straight line basis through December 31, 2035 as a reduction to property management fee expense, which is included in property operating expenses.

 

(3)

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, Same Property NOI and Same Property Cash Basis NOI are based on properties OPI owned continuously since January 1, 2021, and exclude properties classified as held for sale and properties undergoing significant redevelopment, if any, and three properties owned by two unconsolidated joint ventures in which OPI owns 51% and 50% interests.

Warning Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws. Also, whenever OPI uses words such as “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “estimate”, “will”, “may” and negatives or derivatives of these or similar expressions, OPI is making forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon OPI’s present intent, beliefs or expectations, but forward-looking statements are not guaranteed to occur and may not occur. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by OPI’s forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond OPI's control. For example:

  • Mr. Bilotto's statements about OPI's leasing activity and same property occupancy may imply that OPI will continue to have positive leasing activity and occupancy in future periods. However, OPI's ability to realize positive leasing activity and occupancy depends on various factors, including market conditions and tenants' demand for OPI's properties, the timing of lease expirations and OPI's ability to successfully compete for tenants, among other factors. As a result, OPI may not realize positive leasing activity or occupancy in the future,
  • Mr. Bilotto states that the more than 3.6 million square feet of activity in OPI's leasing pipeline is indicative of an improving demand environment for office space. This statement may imply that OPI will successfully execute leases for that space on terms that are acceptable to OPI and better for OPI than the terms of the prior leases for that space and that demand for office space will continue to improve. However, OPI may not be able to successfully negotiate and execute leases for any or all of that space or on any additional space on terms acceptable to it or comparable or better for OPI than the terms of the prior leases for the same space, and demand for office space may not improve and could decline,
  • Mr. Bilotto states that OPI ended the quarter with nearly $850 million of total liquidity. This statement may imply that OPI will maintain this level of liquidity in the future. However, OPI's liquidity is largely dependent on the availability of funds under its revolving credit facility. OPI's revolving credit facility allows OPI to borrow, repay and reborrow funds under that facility, subject to satisfying conditions. As a result, OPI may, and likely will, borrow funds under its revolving credit facility in the future, which in turn would reduce its borrowing availability. In addition, OPI may use its current liquidity for investments or other business opportunities, which would reduce its liquidity,
  • Mr. Bilotto states that OPI is committed to its capital recycling program to enhance its portfolio quality, generate CAD accretion and manage leverage levels, and that OPI expects to target disposition proceeds in the range of $400 million to $500 million, which will allow OPI to strengthen its portfolio through its active development projects, refine its balance sheet and increase shareholder returns over the long term. These statements may imply that OPI will continue to advance its capital recycling program in future periods and execute on its investment strategies, including its active development projects, and that those strategies and projects will be accretive to OPI. However, OPI may not be able to identify and successfully negotiate and complete acquisitions or sales and it may not realize its target returns on investments it may make or its target proceeds on properties it elects to sell. Further, OPI's development projects require significant capital and time to complete and could be delayed or cost more than expected, including as a result of supply chain challenges, inflation or otherwise, and there may not be demand to lease the developed properties upon their completion. As a result, OPI may not realize the benefits it expects or manage its leverage at levels it believes appropriate, and
  • OPI has entered into agreements to sell two properties for an aggregate sales price of $38.3 million, excluding closing costs. These transactions are subject to conditions. Those conditions may not be satisfied and these transactions may not occur, may be delayed or the terms may change.

The information contained in OPI’s filings with the SEC, including under “Risk Factors” in OPI’s periodic reports, or incorporated therein, identifies other important factors that could cause OPI’s actual results to differ materially from those stated in or implied by OPI’s forward-looking statements. OPI’s filings with the SEC are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

You should not place undue reliance upon forward-looking statements.

Except as required by law, OPI does not intend to update or change any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
