NEW YORK, April 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SL Green Realty Corp. (the “Company”) (NYSE: SLG) today reported a net income attributable to common stockholders for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 of $13.1 million, or $0.20 per share, as compared to a net loss of $39.7 million, or $0.63 per share, for the same quarter in 2023.

The Company reported FFO for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 of $215.4 million, or $3.07 per share, or $68.6 million, or $0.98 per share, inclusive of $141.7 million, or $2.02 per share, of gain on discounted debt extinguishment at 2 Herald Square and $5.1 million, or $0.07 per share, of non-cash fair value adjustments on a mark-to-market derivative. The Company reported FFO for the same period in 2023 of $105.5 million, or $1.53 per share, which included $20.3 million, or $0.29 per share, representing the Company’s net share of holdover rent, interest and reimbursement of attorneys’ fees collected by the joint venture that owns 2 Herald Square from former tenant, Victoria’s Secret Stores LLC, and their guarantor, L Brands Inc., following the completion of legal proceedings against the tenant and guarantor.

All per share amounts are presented on a diluted basis.

Operating and Leasing Activity

Same-store cash NOI, including our share of same-store cash NOI from unconsolidated joint ventures, increased by 1.2% for the first quarter of 2024, and decreased 1.2% excluding lease termination income, better than the Company’s projections, as compared to the same period in 2023.

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company signed 60 office leases in its Manhattan office portfolio totaling 633,660 square feet. The average rent on the Manhattan office leases signed in the first quarter of 2024, excluding leases signed at One Vanderbilt and One Madison, was $72.38 per rentable square foot with an average lease term of 6.4 years and average tenant concessions of 6.8 months of free rent with a tenant improvement allowance of $51.45 per rentable square foot. Thirty-two leases comprising 294,583 square feet, representing office leases on space that had been occupied within the prior twelve months, are considered replacement leases on which mark-to-market is calculated. Those replacement leases had average starting rents of $77.90 per rentable square foot, representing a 5.5% decrease over the previous fully escalated rents on the same office spaces. The Company expects to sign 2.0 million square feet of Manhattan office leases with a positive mark-to-market of 2.5% – 5.0% in 2024.

Occupancy in the Company’s Manhattan same-store office portfolio was 89.2% as of March 31, 2024, thirty basis points better than the Company’s projections, inclusive of 455,472 square feet of leases signed but not yet commenced, as compared to 89.8% at the end of the previous quarter. The Company expects to increase Manhattan same-store office occupancy, inclusive of leases signed but not yet commenced, to more than 91.5% by December 31, 2024.

Significant leasing activity in the first quarter includes:

Investment Activity

In March, the Company entered into a contract to acquire its partner’s 45% interest in 10 East 53rd Street for cash consideration of $7.2 million net of all outstanding debt obligations prior to a loan modification closed during the first quarter. As a result of the contract terms entered into, the Company concluded to consolidate the joint venture as of March 31, 2024. The acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2024.

In March, the Company entered into a contract to sell the Palisades Premier Conference Center for $26.3 million. The Company took control of the property in July 2023 in partial satisfaction of a legal judgement. The sale is expected to close in the second quarter of 2024 and generate net proceeds of $20.0 million.

In January, together with our joint venture partner, the Company closed on the sale of the retail condominium at 717 Fifth Avenue for total consideration of $963.0 million. The transaction generated net proceeds to the Company of $27.0 million, which was used for corporate debt repayment.

In January, the Company acquired equity interests in the joint venture that owns the leasehold at 2 Herald Square for no consideration, increasing the Company’s interest in the joint venture to 95%. In February, the previous $182.5 million mortgage on the property was repaid for a net payment of $7.0 million.

The Company launched fundraising for its $1.0 billion opportunistic debt fund in January 2024. This fund will allow the Company to capitalize on current capital markets dislocations through the discounted acquisition of existing debt investments and origination of new, high-yielding debt instruments.

Debt and Preferred Equity Investment Activity

The carrying value of the Company’s debt and preferred equity (“DPE”) portfolio was $352.3 million at March 31, 2024. The portfolio had a weighted average current yield of 8.0%, or 9.6% excluding the effect of a $50.0 million investment that is on non-accrual. During the first quarter, no investments were sold or repaid and the Company did not originate or acquire any new investments.

Financing Activity

In March, together with our joint venture partner, closed on a modification and extension of the mortgage on 10 East 53rd Street. The modification included a paydown of the principal balance by $15.0 million to $205.0 million and extended the maturity date by three years to May 2028, as fully extended. The interest rate was maintained at 1.45% over Term SOFR, which the joint venture fixed at 5.36% from May 2025 to May 2028.

In March, together with our joint venture partner, closed on a modification and extension of the $360.0 million mortgage on 100 Park Avenue. The modification extended the maturity date by two years to December 2025, as fully extended, and the interest rate was maintained at 2.36% over Term SOFR.

In March, together with our joint venture partner, closed on a modification and extension of the mortgage on 15 Beekman Street. The modification included a paydown of the principal balance by $4.6 million to $120.0 million, extended the mortgage by four years to January 2028, as fully extended, and the interest rate was maintained at 1.50% over Term SOFR, which the joint venture fixed at 5.99% through January 2026.

Earnings Guidance

The Company is increasing its 2024 FFO guidance range for the year ending December 31, 2024 to FFO per share of $7.35 to $7.65, as compared to the previous guidance range of FFO per share of $5.90 to $6.20, primarily to reflect incremental gains on discounted debt extinguishments at 2 Herald Square as well as at 280 Park Avenue and 719 Seventh Avenue, as announced today, while maintaining its 2024 net income guidance range of $2.73 to $3.03 per share.

ESG

The Company received ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Sustained Excellence Award in 2024, the highest level of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognition, for the seventh consecutive year. Among thousands of ENERGY STAR partners, the Company was one of just 160 organizations to achieve the Sustained Excellence distinction.

SL GREEN REALTY CORP.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES – DISCLOSURES

Funds from Operations (FFO)

FFO is a widely recognized non-GAAP financial measure of REIT performance. The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by 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 the Company does. The revised White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in April 2002, and subsequently amended in December 2018, defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of properties, and real estate related impairment charges, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

The Company presents FFO because it considers it an important supplemental measure of the Company’s operating performance and believes that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, particularly those that own and operate commercial office properties. The Company also uses FFO as one of several criteria to determine performance-based compensation for members of its senior management. FFO is intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains and losses from property dispositions, and real estate related impairment charges, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indication of the Company’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including the Company’s ability to make cash distributions.

Funds Available for Distribution (FAD)

FAD is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as FFO plus non-real estate depreciation, allowance for straight line credit loss, adjustment for straight line operating lease rent, non-cash deferred compensation, and pro-rata adjustments for these items from the Company’s unconsolidated JVs, less straight line rental income, free rent net of amortization, second cycle tenant improvement and leasing costs, and recurring capital expenditures.

FAD is not intended to represent cash flow for the period and is not indicative of cash flow provided by operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP. FAD is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure with respect to liquidity because the Company believes it provides useful information regarding the Company’s ability to fund its dividends. Because all companies do not calculate FAD the same way, the presentation of FAD may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. FAD does not represent cash flow from operating, investing and finance activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indication of the Company’s financial performance, as an alternative to net cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), or as a measure of the Company’s liquidity.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate (EBITDAre)

EBITDAre is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company computes EBITDAre in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which may not be comparable to EBITDAre reported by other REITs that do not compute EBITDAre in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than the Company does. The White Paper on EBITDAre approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in September 2017 defines EBITDAre as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP), plus interest expense, plus income tax expense, plus depreciation and amortization, plus (minus) losses and gains on the disposition of depreciated property, plus impairment write-downs of depreciated property and investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, plus adjustments to reflect the entity’s share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated joint ventures.

The Company presents EBITDAre because the Company believes that EBITDAre, along with cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, provides investors with an additional indicator of the Company’s ability to incur and service debt. EBITDAre should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indication of the Company’s financial performance, as an alternative to net cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), or as a measure of the Company’s liquidity.

Net Operating Income (NOI) and Cash NOI

NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as operating income before transaction related costs, gains/losses on early extinguishment of debt, marketing general and administrative expenses and non-real estate revenue. Cash NOI is also a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated by subtracting free rent (net of amortization), straight-line rent, and the amortization of acquired above and below-market leases from NOI, while adding operating lease straight-line adjustment and the allowance for straight-line tenant credit loss.

The Company presents NOI and Cash NOI because the Company believes that these measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures and reconciliations, provide investors with meaningful information regarding the operating performance of properties. When operating performance is compared across multiple periods, the investor is provided with information not immediately apparent from net income that is determined in accordance with GAAP. NOI and Cash NOI provide information on trends in the revenue generated and expenses incurred in operating the Company’s properties, unaffected by the cost of leverage, straight-line adjustments, depreciation, amortization, and other net income components. The Company uses these metrics internally as performance measures. None of these measures is an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) and same-store performance should not be considered an alternative to GAAP net income performance.

Coverage Ratios

The Company presents fixed charge and debt service coverage ratios to provide a measure of the Company’s financial flexibility to service current debt amortization, interest expense and operating lease rent from current cash net operating income. These coverage ratios represent a common measure of the Company’s ability to service fixed cash payments; however, these ratios are not used as an alternative to cash flow from operating, financing and investing activities (determined in accordance with GAAP).
