Management Comments

Stephen E. Budorick, COPT Defense's President & Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The performance of our Defense/IT investment strategy, which concentrates our portfolio near priority U.S. defense installations, continues to demonstrate operating strength, resulting in a solid earnings growth profile.

We achieved several key operating and financial performance milestones in 2023. Our Defense/IT Portfolio was 96.2% occupied and 97.2% leased at year end, which are the highest rates reported since we began disclosing the segment in 2015. Our sector leading tenant retention rate of 79.4% was the third highest figure in the last 20 years. Same property cash NOI increased 5.7%, the highest reported level in over 15 years, while cash rent spreads on renewals were the highest since 2008.

We attribute our continued strong performance to the strength in defense spending over the past few years, which has resulted in growing tenant demand in our Defense/IT Portfolio to support mission-critical national defense activities.

The outlook for defense spending remains favorable as the FY24 National Defense Authorization Act, which was passed in December and is awaiting Appropriation, calls for 3.3% year-over-year growth, which we believe will fuel demand for space in our portfolio through 2025.

We have generated FFO per share growth in each of the past 5 years, which amounts to a compound annual growth rate of 4.5% between 2019 to 2023. Looking forward, we expect FFO per share to increase 3.7% at the midpoint in 2024 and continue to anticipate compound annual growth of roughly 4% between 2023 to 2026."
