Exceeded Q2 Guidance for EPS and FFO,
Executed More Than 1.3 Million Square Feet of Leases in Q2, and
Named One of the World’s Most Sustainable Companies by TIME
Magazine
BXP, Inc. (NYSE: BXP), the largest publicly traded
developer, owner, and manager of premier workplaces in the United
States, reported results today for the second quarter ended June
30, 2024.
Financial Highlights
- Revenue increased 4.1% to $850.5 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 2024, compared to $817.2 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 2023.
- Net income attributable to BXP, Inc. of $79.6 million, or $0.51
per diluted share (EPS), for the quarter ended June 30, 2024,
compared to $104.3 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, for the
quarter ended June 30, 2023.
- Funds from Operations (FFO) of $278.4 million, or $1.77 per
diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to FFO
of $292.8 million, or $1.86 per diluted share, for the quarter
ended June 30, 2023.
- EPS and FFO per share exceeded the mid-points of BXP’s guidance
by $0.05 and $0.06 per share, respectively, primarily due to $0.05
per share of lower-than-projected, non-cash interest expense due to
the reassessment of the finance lease related to The Skylyne in
Oakland, California, which significantly reduced projected future
payments to the land owner, and $0.01 per share of greater
contributions from portfolio operations.
Guidance
BXP provided guidance for third quarter 2024 EPS of $0.54 -
$0.56 and FFO of $1.80 - $1.82 per diluted share, and full year
2024 EPS of $2.08 - $2.14 and FFO of $7.09 - $7.15 per diluted
share. This represents an increase of approximately $0.08 per share
at the midpoint of our guidance provided last quarter for both EPS
and FFO per share primarily due to:
- lower-than-projected non-cash interest expense and greater
contributions from portfolio operations in the second quarter as
described above, and
- an increase in projected contributions from portfolio
operations in the second half of 2024, primarily from higher
termination income.
See “EPS and FFO per Share Guidance” below.
Leasing & Occupancy
- Executed 73 leases totaling more than 1.3 million square feet
with a weighted-average lease term of 9.0 years.
- BXP’s CBD portfolio of premier workplaces was 90.4% occupied
and 92.2% leased (including vacant space for which we have signed
leases that have not yet commenced in accordance with GAAP).
Approximately 88.0% of BXP’s Share of annualized rental obligations
is derived from clients located in our CBD portfolio, underscoring
the strength of BXP’s strategy to invest in the highest quality
buildings in dynamic urban gateway markets.
- BXP’s total portfolio occupancy for the second quarter was
87.1%. This decrease of 110 basis points over the prior quarter is
consistent with BXP’s previously communicated expectations and was
primarily due to expected lease expirations.
Development
- BXP completed and fully placed in-service 760 Boylston Street,
an approximately 118,000 net rentable square feet retail
redevelopment located in Boston, Massachusetts. The property is
100% leased to DICK’S Sporting Goods’ Boston House of Sport.
- In July 2024, BXP partially placed in-service Skymark, a luxury
residential property in Reston, Virginia that consists of 508 units
across a five-story low-rise building and an iconic 39-story tower,
which is one of the tallest buildings in Northern Virginia. The
residential property is owned by a joint venture in which BXP has a
20% interest.
Balance Sheet & Liquidity
- A joint venture in which BXP has a 50% interest exercised an
option to extend by one year the maturity date of its loan
collateralized by 100 Causeway in Boston, Massachusetts. The
634,000 square foot premier workplace is 94.6% leased. The extended
loan has an outstanding balance of $333.6 million, and an interest
rate equal to Term SOFR plus 1.48% per annum. The loan now matures
on September 5, 2025.
- Boston Properties Limited Partnership (“BPLP”) established an
unsecured commercial paper program. Under the terms of the program,
BPLP may issue, from time to time, unsecured commercial paper notes
up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any one time of
$500.0 million with varying maturities of up to one year. The notes
are sold in private placements and rank pari passu with all of
BPLP’s other unsecured senior indebtedness, including its
outstanding senior notes. The commercial paper program is
backstopped by available capacity under BPLP's unsecured revolving
credit facility. As of June 30, 2024, BPLP had $500.0 million
outstanding under its commercial paper program that bears interest
at a weighted-average rate of approximately 5.60% per annum and had
a weighted-average maturity of approximately 49 days from the date
of issuance.
- BPLP exercised its remaining accordion option under its
unsecured revolving credit facility to increase the current maximum
borrowing amount under the credit facility from $1.815 billion to
$2.0 billion. All other terms of the credit facility, including its
expiration date of June 15, 2026, remain unchanged. BPLP has no
current borrowings under the credit facility.
- BPLP exercised its one-year extension option on its unsecured
term loan facility. The term loan facility will mature on May 16,
2025. After making an approximately $500.0 million optional
repayment, the term loan facility has an outstanding principal
balance of $700.0 million.
Sustainability & Impact
- In connection with Earth Day, BXP published its 2023
Sustainability & Impact Report, which highlights that, among
other things, BXP remains on track to achieve carbon-neutral
operations by 2025. In conjunction with the publication, BXP hosted
its third annual Sustainability & Impact Investor Update on May
15, 2024
- On July 10, 2024, BXP announced that it was named by TIME
Magazine and Statista to the inaugural list of the World’s Most
Sustainable Companies. BXP ranked #79 overall and was the
highest-rated United States property owner.
BXP Update
- On July 1, 2024, BXP formally completed the change of its
corporate name from Boston Properties, Inc. to BXP, Inc. Having
grown to six regions, the change telegraphed to stakeholders that
while Boston remains a key part of BXP’s history, founding, and
portfolio, future growth will come throughout its regions: Boston,
Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, DC.
BXP aspires to be the real estate industry partner of choice and
premier workplace leader in all of the cities in which it operates,
and the evolution of BXP’s name reflects a national, not singular
city, focus.
EPS and FFO per Share Guidance:
BXP’s guidance for the third quarter 2024 and full year 2024 for
EPS (diluted) and FFO per share (diluted) is set forth and
reconciled below. Except as described below, the estimates reflect
management’s view of current and future market conditions,
including assumptions with respect to rental rates, occupancy
levels, interest rates, the timing of the lease-up of available
space, the timing of development cost outlays and development
deliveries, and the earnings impact of the events referenced in
this release and those referenced during the related conference
call. The estimates do not include (1) possible future gains or
losses or the impact on operating results from other possible
future property acquisitions or dispositions, (2) the impacts of
any other capital markets activity, (3) future write-offs or
reinstatements of accounts receivable and accrued rent balances, or
(4) future impairment charges. EPS estimates may fluctuate as a
result of several factors, including changes in the recognition of
depreciation and amortization expense, impairment losses on
depreciable real estate, and any gains or losses associated with
disposition activity. BXP is not able to assess at this time the
potential impact of these factors on projected EPS. By definition,
FFO does not include real estate-related depreciation and
amortization, impairment losses on depreciable real estate, or
gains or losses associated with disposition activities. There can
be no assurance that BXP’s actual results will not differ
materially from the estimates set forth below.

exclude rent abatements. Further, "annualized rental obligations"
is defined as monthly rental obligations, as of the last day of the
reporting period, multiplied by twelve (12). "BXP's Share" is based
on rental obligations for our consolidated portfolio, plus our
share of rental obligations from the unconsolidated joint ventures
properties (calculated based on our ownership percentage), minus
our partners' share of rental obligations from our consolidated
joint venture properties (calculated based on our partners'
percentage ownership interests). Our definitions of the foregoing
operating metrics may be different than those used by other
companies.

Pursuant to the revised definition of
Funds from Operations adopted by the Board of Governors of the
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”),
we calculate Funds from Operations, or “FFO,” by adjusting net
income (loss) attributable to BXP, Inc. (computed in accordance
with GAAP) for gains (or losses) from sales of properties,
including a change in control, impairment losses on depreciable
real estate consolidated on our balance sheet, impairment losses on
our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures driven by a
measurable decrease in the fair value of depreciable real estate
held by the unconsolidated joint ventures and real estate-related
depreciation and amortization. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure,
but we believe the presentation of FFO, combined with the
presentation of required GAAP financial measures, has improved the
understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing
public and has helped make comparisons of REIT operating results
more meaningful. Management generally considers 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 or a change in control 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.
Our calculation of FFO may not be
comparable to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies
that do not define the term in accordance with the current Nareit
definition or that interpret the current Nareit definition
differently.
In order to facilitate a clear
understanding of the Company’s operating results, FFO should be
examined in conjunction with net income attributable to BXP, Inc.
as presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
FFO should not be considered as a substitute for net income
attributable to BXP, Inc. (determined in accordance with GAAP) or
any other GAAP financial measures and should only be considered
together with and as a supplement to the Company’s financial
information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

During the first quarter of 2024, the
Company reassessed the classifications of its assets as either CBD
or Suburban and that certain assets such as those in Reston,
Virginia are located in areas with characteristics that more
closely align with our definition of CBD due to their diverse live,
work, and play environment. As a result, these assets are
classified as CBD. Comparative period has been updated to reflect
the same presentation.
