VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., May 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. (NYSE:AHH) today announced its results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 and provided an update on current events and earnings guidance.

First Quarter and Recent Highlights:

Net income attributable to common stockholders and OP Unit holders of $14.8 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to $2.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Funds from operations attributable to common stockholders and OP Unit holders ("FFO") of $35.0 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, compared to $20.6 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2023. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Normalized funds from operations attributable to common stockholders and OP Unit holders ("Normalized FFO") of $29.4 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared to $26.5 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2023. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Maintained the Company's previous guidance range for 2024 full-year Normalized FFO of $1.21 to $1.27 per diluted share.

As of March 31, 2024, weighted average portfolio occupancy was 94.7%. Retail occupancy was 95.4%, office occupancy was 93.6%, and multifamily occupancy was 95.1%.

First quarter commercial lease renewal spreads increased 11.5% on a GAAP basis and 3.7% on a cash basis.

Executed 21 lease renewals and 3 new leases during the first quarter for an aggregate of 115,549 of net rentable square feet.

"We continue to see our portfolio produce robust operating metrics, above our peer set, maintaining confidence in our guidance," said Louis Haddad, Chief Executive Officer. "Our strong start to 2024 is highlighted by our 95% portfolio occupancy, positive releasing spreads, and ongoing focus on strategic capital allocation. Demand remains strong for our premier locations and mixed-use projects that are the preferred destination for today's consumers, tenants, office workers, and corporate leaders envisioning the future success of their enterprises."

Same Store NOI increased 0.4% on a GAAP basis and 0.8% on a cash basis compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Third-party construction backlog as of March 31, 2024 was $343.4 million and construction gross profit for the first quarter was $4.1 million.

Announced the appointment of F. Blair Wimbush to the Company's Board of Directors.

During the first quarter of 2024, unrealized gains on non-designated interest rate derivatives that positively affected FFO were $6.5 million. As of March 31, 2024, the value of the Company's entire interest rate derivative portfolio, net of unrealized gains, was $35.0 million. These gains are excluded from normalized FFO.

Financial Results

Net income attributable to common stockholders and OP Unit holders for the first quarter increased to $14.8 million compared to $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2023. The period-over-period change was primarily due to an increase in property net operating income, primarily as a result of acquisitions and positive releasing spreads, as well as higher general contracting gross profit, higher interest income, and unrealized gains on derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges.

FFO attributable to common stockholders and OP Unit holders for the first quarter increased to $35.0 million compared to $20.6 million for the first quarter of 2023. Normalized FFO attributable to common stockholders and OP Unit holders for the first quarter increased to $29.4 million compared to $26.5 million for the first quarter of 2023. The period-over-period increases in FFO and Normalized FFO were due to an increase in property net operating income primarily as a result of acquisitions and positive releasing spreads, as well as higher general contracting gross profit and higher interest income.

Operating Performance

At the end of the first quarter, the Company's retail, office, and multifamily stabilized operating property portfolios were 95.4%, 93.6%, and 95.1% occupied, respectively.

Total construction contract backlog was $343.4 million as of March 31, 2024.

Interest income from real estate financing investments was $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Balance Sheet and Financing Activity

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $1.4 billion of total debt outstanding, including $289 million outstanding under its revolving credit facility. Total debt outstanding excludes GAAP adjustments and deferred financing costs. Approximately 89% of the Company's debt had fixed interest rates or was subject to interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2024. The Company's debt was 94% fixed or economically hedged as of March 31, 2024 after considering interest rate caps.

Outlook

The Company maintained its 2024 full-year Normalized FFO guidance range at the Company's previous guidance range of $1.21 to $1.27 per diluted share. The following table updates the Company's assumptions underpinning its full-year guidance. The Company's executive management will provide further details regarding its 2024 earnings guidance during today's webcast and conference call.

Full-year 2024 Guidance ^[1]^[2]	Expected Ranges
Portfolio NOI	$166.6M	$171.0M
Construction Segment Gross Profit	$12.8M	$14.3M
G&A Expenses	$18.8M	$18.2M
Interest Income	$17.3M	$17.9M
Adjusted Interest Expense^[³^]	$59.4M	$58.8M
Normalized FFO per diluted share	$1.21	$1.27

^[1] Ranges exclude certain items per the Company 's Normalized FFO definition: Normalized FFO excludes certain items, including debt extinguishment losses and prepayment penalties, impairment and accelerated amortization of intangible assets and liabilities, acquisition, development, and other pursuit costs, mark-to-market adjustments for interest rate derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges, amortization of payments made to purchase interest rate caps and swaps designated as cash flow hedges, provision for unrealized non-cash credit losses, amortization of right-of-use assets attributable to finance leases, severance related costs, and other non-comparable items. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures." The Company does not provide a reconciliation for its guidance range of Normalized FFO per diluted share to net income per diluted share, the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure, because it is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate estimate of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort as a result of the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and/or amounts of various items that would impact net income per diluted share. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information and believes that providing a reconciliation for its guidance range of Normalized FFO per diluted share would imply a degree of precision for its forward-looking net income per diluted share that could be misleading to investors.

^[²^] Includes the following assumptions:

No material capital market activity in FY24
Asset disposition in 4Q24
Southern Post delivery schedule updated
Anticipated realization of a real estate financing investment in FY24

^[³^]Includes the interest expense on finance leases and interest receipts of non-designated derivatives.

The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statement contained herein, to reflect any change in the Company's expectations with regard thereto, or any other change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit"). Nareit defines FFO as net income (loss) (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains or losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control, and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity.

FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. The Company uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because it believes that FFO is beneficial to investors as a starting point in measuring the Company's operational performance. Specifically, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions, which do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared period-over-period, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare the Company's operating performance with that of other REITs.

However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of the Company's properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of the Company's properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact the Company's results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of the Company's performance is limited. In addition, other equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the Nareit definition as the Company does, and, accordingly, the Company's FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs' FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of the Company's performance. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or service indebtedness. Also, FFO should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP.

Management also believes that the computation of FFO in accordance with Nareit's definition includes certain items that are not indicative of the results provided by the Company's operating property portfolio and affect the comparability of the Company's period-over-period performance. Accordingly, management believes that Normalized FFO is a more useful performance measure that excludes certain items, including but not limited to, debt extinguishment losses and prepayment penalties, impairment and accelerated amortization of intangible assets and liabilities, property acquisition, development, and other pursuit costs, mark-to-market adjustments for interest rate derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges, amortization of payments made to purchase interest rate caps and swaps designated as cash flow hedges, provision for unrealized non-cash credit losses, amortization of right-of-use assets attributable to finance leases, severance related costs, and other non-comparable items. Other equity REITs may not calculate Normalized FFO in the same manner as we do, and, accordingly, our Normalized FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs' Normalized FFO.

NOI is the measure used by the Company's chief operating decision-maker to assess segment performance. The Company calculates NOI as segment revenues less segment expenses. Segment revenues include rental revenues (base rent, expense reimbursements, termination fees, and other revenue) for our property segments, general contracting and real estate services revenues for our general contracting and real estate services segment, and interest income for our real estate financing segment. Segment expenses include rental expenses and real estate taxes for our property segments, general contracting and real estate services expenses for our general contracting and real estate services segment, and interest expense for our real estate financing segment. Segment NOI for the general contracting and real estate services and real estate financing segments is also referred to as segment gross profit. NOI is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured in accordance with GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. As a result, NOI should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate NOI in the same manner. The Company considers NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of the Company's real estate and construction businesses. To calculate NOI on a cash basis, we adjust NOI to exclude the net effects of straight line rent and the amortization of lease incentives and above/below market rents.

For reference, as an aid in understanding the Company's computation of NOI, NOI Cash Basis, FFO and Normalized FFO, a reconciliation of net income calculated in accordance with GAAP to NOI, NOI Cash Basis, FFO, and Normalized FFO has been included further in this release.
