PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brandywine Realty Trust (NYSE:BDN) today reported its financial and operating results for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024.
Management Comments
“During the third quarter we made strong progress on our 2024 business plan highlighted by exceeding many of our targets and for the second consecutive quarter raising both our speculative revenue target and our annual tenant retention rate,” stated Gerard H. Sweeney, President and Chief Executive Officer for Brandywine Realty Trust. “Based on our 2024 leasing activity, we are raising our speculative revenue target to $26.3 million and this revised target is 100% achieved and represents a 7% increase over our original business plan. In addition, we increased our annual tenant retention rate by 3.0% placing us over 10 percentage points above our original 2024 business plan target. Turning to the capital markets, we made progress on our asset sales target by selling an office portfolio in the Pennsylvania suburbs for $65.5 million and, at the midpoint, we have raised our 2024 asset sales target from $90 million to $150 million. Despite continued improvement in the real estate sales market, we are removing land sales from our 2024 business plan that were projected to generate approximately $5.0 million of earnings, or $0.03 per share. Based on the changes made to our 2024 business plan we are adjusting and further narrowing our FFO range from $0.91 to $0.96 per share to $0.89 to $0.92 per share.”
Third Quarter Highlights
Financial Results
- Net loss available to common shareholders: $(165.5) million, or $(0.96) per share. Our results include $(161.4) million, or $(0.93) per share, of non-cash impairment charges.
- Funds from Operations (FFO): $39.8 million, or $0.23 per diluted share.
Portfolio Results
- Core Portfolio: 87.2% occupied and 88.7% leased.
- New and Renewal Leases Signed: 298,000 square feet wholly-owned and 558,000 square feet including our joint ventures.
- Tenant Retention Ratio: 42%.
- Rental Rate Mark-to-Market: Increased 14.9% on an accrual basis and 8.9% on a cash basis.
- Same Store Results: Decreased (2.0%) on an accrual basis and increased 1.6% on a cash basis.
Disposition Activity
- On September 26, 2024, we completed the sale of five Class-B office properties in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania for a gross sales price of $65.5 million. After closing costs and credits, we received net cash proceeds of $44.1 million and provided seller financing to the buyer. The seller financing totaled $15.5 million and has an initial interest rate of 8.25% and matures in 2034 and is subordinate to a first mortgage. Prior to the sale we recognized an impairment loss of $3.3 million on the properties based upon the executed purchase and sale agreement during the third quarter of 2024.
Joint Venture Activity
- On August 26, 2024, we entered into an agreement to pay down $23 million of the preferred equity position from our current partner in our Commerce Square joint venture, increasing our total interest in the venture to 84%. In connection with the agreed upon transaction, we obtained a 3rd party appraisal, which resulted in the venture impairing our common equity position down to the appraised value. We recorded a $(116.5) million impairment through its equity in loss of unconsolidated real estate ventures during the third quarter as a result of the impairment. During 2020 when we sold a preferred equity interest in the Commerce Square joint venture, we recognized a net gain on disposition of real estate totaling $271.9 million.
Finance Activity
- We had $40.0 million outstanding balance on our $600.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2024.
- We had $36.5 million of cash and cash equivalents on-hand as of September 30, 2024.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such as “will,” “strategy,” “expects,” “seeks,” “believes,” “potential,” or other similar words. Because such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and contingencies, actual results may differ materially from the expectations, intentions, beliefs, plans or predictions of the future expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements, including our 2024 guidance, are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are difficult to predict and not within our control. Such risks, uncertainties and contingencies include, among others: risks related to the impact of other potential future outbreaks of infectious diseases on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and those of our tenants as well as on the economy and real estate and financial markets; reduced demand for office space and pricing pressures, including from competitors, changes to tenant work patterns that could limit our ability to lease space or set rents at expected levels or that could lead to declines in rent; uncertainty and volatility in capital and credit markets, including changes that reduce availability, and increase costs, of capital or that delay receipt of future debt financings and refinancings; the effect of inflation and interest rate fluctuations, including on the costs of our planned debt financings and refinancings; the potential loss or bankruptcy of tenants or the inability of tenants to meet their rent and other lease obligations; risks of acquisitions and dispositions, including unexpected liabilities and integration costs; delays in completing, and cost overruns incurred in connection with, our developments and redevelopments; disagreements with joint venture partners; unanticipated operating and capital costs; uninsured casualty losses and our ability to obtain adequate insurance, including coverage for terrorist acts; additional asset impairments; our dependence upon certain geographic markets; changes in governmental regulations, tax laws and rates and similar matters; unexpected costs of REIT qualification compliance; costs and disruptions as the result of a cybersecurity incident or other technology disruption; reliance on key personnel; and failure to maintain an effective system of internal control, including internal control over financial reporting. The declaration and payment of future dividends (both timing and amount) is subject to the determination of our Board of Trustees, in its sole discretion, after considering various factors, including our financial condition, historical and forecast operating results, and available cash flow, as well as any applicable laws and contractual covenants and any other relevant factors. Our Board’s practice regarding declaration of dividends may be modified at any time and from time to time. Additional information on factors which could impact us and the forward-looking statements contained herein are included in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. We assume no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements that become untrue because of subsequent events except as required by law.
Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measures
We compute our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Although FFO and NOI are non-GAAP financial measures, we believe that FFO and NOI calculations are helpful to shareholders and potential investors and are widely recognized measures of real estate investment trust performance. At the end of this press release, we have provided a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
Funds from Operations (FFO)
We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than us. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) before non-controlling interests and excluding gains (losses) on sales of depreciable operating property, impairment losses on depreciable consolidated real estate, impairment losses on investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures and extraordinary items (computed in accordance with GAAP); plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), and after similar adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Net income, the GAAP measure that we believe to be most directly comparable to FFO, includes depreciation and amortization expenses, gains or losses on property sales, extraordinary items and non-controlling interests. To facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as presented in the financial statements included elsewhere in this release. FFO does not represent cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our financial performance or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions to shareholders. We generally consider FFO and FFO per share to be useful measures for understanding and comparing our operating results because, by excluding gains and losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, impairment losses and real estate asset depreciation and amortization (which can differ across owners of similar assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates), FFO and FFO per share can help investors compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate across reporting periods and to the operating performance of other companies.
Net Operating Income (NOI)
NOI (accrual basis) is a financial measure equal to net income available to common shareholders, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, plus corporate general and administrative expense, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, non-controlling interest in the Operating Partnership and losses from early extinguishment of debt, less interest income, development and management income, gains from property dispositions, gains on sale from discontinued operations, gains on early extinguishment of debt, income from discontinued operations, income from unconsolidated joint ventures and non-controlling interest in property partnerships. In some cases we also present NOI on a cash basis, which is NOI after eliminating the effects of straight-lining of rent and deferred market intangible amortization. NOI presented by us may not be comparable to NOI reported by other REITs that define NOI differently. NOI should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of the Company's liquidity or its ability to make distributions. We believe NOI is a useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of our properties, as it excludes certain components from net income available to common shareholders in order to provide results that are more closely related to a property's results of operations. We use NOI internally to evaluate the performance of our operating segments and to make decisions about resource allocations. We concluded that NOI provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations, as it reflects only the income and expense items incurred at the property level, as well as the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition and development activity on an unlevered basis.
Same Store Properties
In our analysis of NOI, particularly to make comparisons of NOI between periods meaningful, it is important to provide information for properties that were in-service and owned by us throughout each period presented. We refer to properties acquired or placed in-service prior to the beginning of the earliest period presented and owned by us through the end of the latest period presented as Same Store Properties. Same Store Properties therefore exclude properties placed in-service, acquired, repositioned, held for sale or in development or redevelopment after the beginning of the earliest period presented or disposed of prior to the end of the latest period presented. Accordingly, it takes at least one year and one quarter after a property is acquired for that property to be included in Same Store Properties.
Core Portfolio
Our core portfolio is comprised of our wholly-owned properties, excluding any properties currently in development, re-development or re-entitlement.
Speculative Revenue
Speculative Revenue represents the amount of rental revenue the company projects to be recorded during the current calendar year from new and renewal leasing activity in its core portfolio that has yet to be executed as of the beginning of the year. This revenue is primarily attributable to the absorption of core portfolio square footage that was either vacant at the beginning of the year or the renewal of existing tenants due to expire during the current year.
