BOSTON PROPERTIES ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2021 RESULTS; REPORTS EPS OF $0.69 AND FFO PER SHARE OF $1.73
Provides Full Year 2022 Guidance, Enters Seattle as Sixth Market and Executes 1.4 Million Square Feet of Leases
BOSTON, MA, October 26, 2021 - Boston Properties, Inc. (NYSE: BXP), the largest publicly traded developer, owner, and manager of Class A office properties in the United States, reported results today for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.
Financial highlights for the third quarter include:
•Revenue grew more than 5% to $730.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $693.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.
•Net income attributable to common shareholders of $108.3 million, or $0.69 per diluted share (EPS), compared to $89.9 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The increase in EPS of $0.11 per diluted share primarily related to increased lease revenue and revenue from parking and hotel operations.
◦EPS of $0.69 per diluted share was $0.60 below the mid-point of the Company's third quarter guidance provided on July 27, 2021, primarily due to the deferral of the sale of the Spring Street Portfolio to the fourth quarter of 2021. Excluding the projected $0.65 gain on sales of real estate, EPS would have been $0.05 greater than the mid-point of the Company’s provided guidance.
•Funds from Operations (FFO) of $270.5 million, or $1.73 per diluted share, compared to FFO of $244.0 million, or $1.57 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.
◦FFO of $1.73 per diluted share was $0.04 greater than the mid-point of the Company's third quarter guidance provided on July 27, 2021, primarily due to better-than- projected results from the Company’s in-service portfolio and improved parking revenue.
The Company provided guidance for full year 2021 with projected EPS of $3.11 - $3.13 and projected FFO of $6.50 - $6.52 per diluted share. Full year 2021 projected EPS and FFO includes an expected charge of $0.25 in the fourth quarter of 2021 related to the early redemption of $1.0 billion of 3.85% unsecured senior notes on October 15, 2021.
The Company provided guidance for full year 2022 with projected EPS of $2.97 - $3.17 and projected FFO of $7.25 - $7.45 per diluted share. See “EPS and FFO per Share Guidance” below.
Third quarter and recent business highlights include:
•Signed approximately 1.4 million square feet of leases in the third quarter with a weighted-average lease term of 9.3 years. Notable leases signed during the third quarter include:
–more–

◦a 524,000 square-foot, ten-year lease extension with Wellington Management at Atlantic Wharf, in Boston, Massachusetts,

•Acquired Safeco Plaza, an approximately 800,000 square-foot Class A office building in Seattle, Washington. This acquisition marks BXP’s initial entry into the Seattle market, one of the most vibrant markets in the U.S. for companies in the technology, life sciences, manufacturing and financial services sectors. Safeco Plaza is approximately 90% leased. The Company closed the acquisition on September 1, 2021, with two joint venture partners for a purchase price of approximately $465 million. Each partner has an approximately one-third ownership interest. The joint venture also obtained a $250 million mortgage loan secured by the property that bears interest at 30-day LIBOR (but not less than 0.15%) plus 2.20% per annum and matures September 1, 2026.
•Acquired Shady Grove Bio+Tech Campus, consisting of seven buildings totaling approximately 435,000 square feet in the Shady Grove area of Rockville, Maryland, a region that is home to more than 400 companies in the biotechnology and life sciences sector. The Company plans to convert the office buildings on the campus to lab to meet current and growing demand in the region from biotechnology companies for new, Class A lab space. The Company closed the acquisition on August 2, 2021 for a purchase price of approximately $116.5 million.
•Completed and delivered 440,000 square feet of space leased to an affiliate of Verizon Communications at 100 Causeway Street in Boston, Massachusetts on September 28, 2021. 100 Causeway is an approximately 632,000 square foot office building that the Company has a 50% ownership interest in.
•Completed and delivered approximately 285,000 square feet at Reston Next, a Class A office project with approximately 1.1 million net rentable square feet located in Reston, Virginia on October 19, 2021. This project is 85% pre-leased.
•Completed the sale of 181,191 and 201 Spring Street, in Lexington, Massachusetts on October 25, 2021 for an aggregate gross sale price of $191.5 million. 181,191 and 201 Spring Street is a three-building, 333,000 square-foot complex that is 100% leased.
•Completed a green bond offering of $850.0 million of 2.450% unsecured senior notes maturing in 2033. This marks the Company’s fourth green bond offering and represents the lowest coupon ever issued by the Company in the unsecured bond market.
•Redeemed $1.0 billion of 3.85% unsecured senior notes that were scheduled to mature in February 2023. This redemption occurred on October 15, 2021, and the Company expects to recognize a loss from early extinguishment of debt of approximately $0.25 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2021 related primarily to the payment of the redemption premium.

(1)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 Boston Properties, Inc. common shareholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) for gains (or losses) from sales of properties, 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 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 computation 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 Boston Properties, Inc. common shareholders as presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. FFO should not be considered as a substitute for net income attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. common shareholders (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.
