BXP ANNOUNCES 3RD QUARTER 2022 RESULTS; REPORTS Q3 EPS OF $2.29 AND FFO PER SHARE OF $1.91
Exceeds Guidance for EPS and FFO for Q3; Executes 1.4 Million SF of Leases in Q3; and Expands Life Sciences Portfolio in Cambridge, MA
BOSTON, MA, October 25, 2022 - BXP (NYSE: BXP), the largest publicly traded developer, owner, and manager of premier workplaces in the United States, reported results today for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.
Financial highlights for the third quarter include:
•Revenue increased 8.3% to $790.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $730.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.
•Net income attributable to common shareholders of $361.0 million, or $2.29 per diluted share (EPS) for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to $108.3 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.
•Funds from Operations (FFO) of $299.8 million, or $1.91 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to FFO of $270.5 million, or $1.73 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.
•EPS and FFO per share exceeded the mid-points of BXP’s guidance by $1.54 and $0.04 per share, respectively. EPS included a gain on sale of real estate of $1.50 per share, and each of EPS and FFO included $0.04 per share of better-than-projected portfolio performance.
BXP provided guidance for (1) full year 2022 EPS of $5.55 - $5.57 and FFO of $7.51 - $7.53 per diluted share, and (2) full year 2023 EPS of $2.27 - $2.42 and FFO of $7.15 - $7.30 per diluted share. The midpoint of guidance for each of 2023 EPS and FFO per diluted share is projected to be lower than projected full year 2022 EPS and FFO per diluted share, respectively, primarily due to:
•for 2023 EPS, lower anticipated gains on sale of $2.43 per diluted share; and
•for each of 2023 EPS and FFO per diluted share, a decline of $0.30 per diluted share (at the midpoint of our 2023 guidance range) from:
◦$0.69 per diluted share of higher projected interest expense, including $0.30 per diluted share of interest expense related to our new investment activity outlined in this release,
◦$0.16 per diluted share of dilution resulting from our 2022 disposition activity, and
◦$0.07 per diluted share of reduced fee income and increased G&A expense.
The foregoing are offset by $0.62 per diluted share of projected contributions from our acquisitions in 2022 and from our 2022 and 2023 development deliveries.

The acquisition of the joint venture interest will be BXP’s second investment in the vibrant Midtown South neighborhood in the past twelve months. BXP will serve as the managing member and provide customary leasing and property management services for the joint venture. BXP expects to close the acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2022 for a gross purchase price of approximately $280.2 million, which includes $120.1 million of cash and BXP’s pro rata share of the outstanding loan secured by the property of $160.1 million. The mortgage loan bears interest at 4.34% per annum and matures in November 2028. There can be no assurance that BXP will complete the acquisition on the terms currently contemplated or at all.

The Avant is a 15-story, approximately 329,000 square foot, 359-unit, luxury multifamily building that is currently 96% occupied. BXP will retain ownership of the 26,000 square foot ground-level retail space. BXP expects to close the transaction in the fourth quarter of 2022 for a gross sale price of approximately $141 million. There can be no assurance that BXP will complete the sale on the terms currently contemplated or at all.
•BXP maintained its leadership and ongoing commitment to ESG and sustainability performance and earned a top ESG rating in the 2022 GRESB® assessment. BXP earned its 11th consecutive “Green Star” recognition and the highest GRESB 5-star rating, as well as an “A” disclosure score.

EPS and FFO per Share Guidance:
BXP’s guidance for the full year 2022 and full year 2023 for EPS (diluted) and FFO per share (diluted) is set forth and reconciled below.

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.

(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 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 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.
