BXP ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2023 RESULTS
Executed More Than 1.0 Million Square Feet of Leases in Q3 and
Delivered Two Development Properties
BOSTON, MA, November 1, 2023 - 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, 2023.
Financial highlights for the third quarter include:
•Revenue increased 4.3% to $824.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to $790.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.
•Net income (loss) attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. of $(111.8) million, or $(0.71) per diluted share (EPS), for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to $361.0 million, or $2.29 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The decrease compared to Q3 2022 is primarily due to:
◦recognition of $262.3 million in gains on sales of real estate that occurred in Q3 2022, that did not recur in Q3 2023;
◦recording non-cash net losses from investments in unconsolidated joint ventures of $236.8 million in Q3 2023, due to an impairment charge totaling approximately $272.6 million, partially offset by a gain of $35.8 million;
◦greater depreciation and amortization expense of $16.8 million in Q3 2023 primarily due to asset acquisitions in Q2 and Q3 of 2022; and
◦greater interest expenses, net of an increase in interest income, of $19.0 million;
◦offset by (1) a lower allocation of noncontrolling interest-common units in Boston Properties Limited Partnership, the operating partnership (“BPLP”), of $53.5 million and (2) greater contributions from portfolio operations of approximately $13.0 million in Q3 2023.
•EPS for the third quarter fell short of the mid-point of BXP’s guidance by $1.35 per diluted share primarily due to a $1.56 per diluted share non-cash impairment charge related to BXP’s investments in the unconsolidated joint ventures that own Platform 16, Safeco Plaza, 200 Fifth Avenue and 360 Park Avenue South, partially offset by $0.20 per share gain on the restructuring of BXP’s interest in its Metropolitan Square investment.
•Funds from Operations (FFO) of $292.8 million, or $1.86 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to FFO of $299.8 million, or $1.91 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The decrease compared to Q3 2022 is primarily due to greater interest expenses, net of an increase in interest income, of $19.0 million, partially offset by greater contributions from portfolio operations of approximately $13.0 million.

•FFO per diluted share exceeded the mid-points of BXP’s guidance by $0.02 per share, as a result of better-than-projected portfolio performance.
BXP also provided updated guidance for full year 2023 EPS of $1.05 - $1.07 and FFO of $7.25 - $7.27 per diluted share. Changes to our prior guidance includes higher projected portfolio NOI offset by higher net interest expense from recent financing activities.
See “EPS and FFO per Share Guidance” below.
Third quarter and recent business highlights include:
•Executed approximately 1.06 million square feet of leases with a weighted-average lease term of 8.2 years.
•Delivered two development projects:
◦Completed and fully placed in-service the redevelopment of 140 Kendrick Street - Building A, a 104,000 square foot property in Needham, Massachusetts. 140 Kendrick is the first Net Zero, Carbon Neutral office repositioning of this scale in Massachusetts. The property is 100% leased.
◦Completed and fully placed in-service 751 Gateway, a 231,000 square foot laboratory/life sciences property in South San Francisco, California in which BXP has a 49% interest. The property is 100% leased.
•Further strengthened BXP’s balance sheet by addressing the remaining 2023 debt maturities, and sourcing additional liquidity in the bank market. Notable transactions include:
◦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 95% leased. After making an approximately $4.0 million principal repayment, the modified and extended loan has an outstanding balance of $336.6 million and the interest rate was reduced from Term SOFR plus 1.60% to Term SOFR plus 1.48% per annum. The loan now matures on September 5, 2024, with a one-year extension option, subject to certain conditions.
◦A joint venture in which BXP has a 50% interest modified the loan collateralized by its Hub on Causeway - Podium property located in Boston, Massachusetts. The modified loan now matures on September 8, 2025, with a one-year extension option, subject to certain conditions. After making an approximately $20.0 million repayment, the modified and extended loan has an outstanding balance of $154.3 million. The interest rate changed from Term SOFR plus 2.35% per annum to Daily Simple SOFR plus 2.50% per annum. The joint venture entered into interest rate swap contracts resulting in a weighted-average fixed rate of approximately 7.35% per annum through September 8, 2025.
◦A joint venture in which BXP has a 25% interest, exercised its second extension option with the lender, an affiliate of BXP, of the land loan collateralized by its land and improvements at its 3 Hudson Boulevard property located in New York, New York. The land loan now matures on February 9, 2024.
◦BPLP completed the repayment of $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 3.125% senior notes due September 1, 2023 using available cash. The repayment
–more–

price was approximately $507.8 million, which included the entire principal amount plus approximately $7.8 million of accrued and unpaid interest.
◦BPLP increased the current maximum borrowing amount of its 2021 Revolving Credit Facility from $1.5 billion to $1.815 billion by adding three new lenders to the Facility. All other terms of the 2021 Credit Facility, including its expiration date of June 15, 2026, remain unchanged. BPLP has no current borrowings under the Facility.
◦A joint venture in which BXP owned a 20% equity interest (with an institutional investor owning the remaining 80%) completed a restructuring of the ownership in Metropolitan Square, which resulted in (i) an affiliate of the existing mezzanine lender purchasing the property, and (ii) BXP becoming a co-lender of up to $20.0 million under a new $100.0 million mezzanine loan. The transaction also resulted in, among other things, (i) the cessation of BXP’s obligation to fund future investments through its then 20% equity interest, which caused BXP to recognize a third quarter gain on investment of approximately $35.8 million related to its deficit investment balance, and (ii) the removal of the property from BXP’s in-service portfolio. Prior to the restructuring, the property was encumbered by an aggregate of $420.0 million of debt, consisting of a senior loan with an outstanding principal balance of $305.0 million (“Senior Loan”) and the existing $115.0 million mezzanine loan. The new mezzanine loan, which is subordinate only to the Senior Loan, may be drawn upon for future lease-up, operating and other costs on an as needed basis, and amounts borrowed will bear interest at a per annum rate of 12%, compounded monthly. In addition, BXP will continue to provide property management and leasing services to the property with the potential to earn additional incentive fees. Metropolitan Square is a 654,000 square foot premier workplace located at 655 15th Street, NW in the heart of downtown Washington, DC.
◦On October 26, 2023, BXP closed on a mortgage loan collateralized by its 325 Main Street, 355 Main Street, and 90 Broadway properties located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The mortgage loan, totaling $600 million, requires interest-only payments at Daily Simple SOFR plus a 2.25% per annum until maturity on October 26, 2028. BXP intends to use the net proceeds from this financing and available cash to repay the $700 million senior unsecured notes due February 1, 2024.
•BXP entered into a joint venture agreement with an institutional investor for the future development of 343 Madison Avenue located on Madison Avenue between 44th and 45th Streets in New York City, New York adjacent to Grand Central Station. BXP owns a 55% interest in the venture and its partner owns a 45% interest, and BXP will provide customary development, property management, and leasing services. The 343 Madison Avenue project contemplates the construction of (1) a direct entrance to the Long Island Railroad’s new east side access project (“Grand Central Madison”) (“Phase 1”) and (2) an approximately 900,000 square foot premier workplace building with ground floor retail (“Phase 2”). The joint venture executed a 99-year ground lease with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority for the approximately 25,000 square foot site. The ground lease requires the joint venture to construct Phase 1 of the development project. The joint venture has the option until July 31, 2025 to terminate the ground lease prior to construction of the new building and receive reimbursement for the cost of the construction of the east side access to Grand Central Station. There can be no assurance that Phase 1 will be completed on the terms currently contemplated or that Phase 2 of the development project will commence on the terms currently contemplated or at all.

EPS and FFO per Share Guidance:
BXP’s guidance for the full year 2023 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 be subject to fluctuations 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 t o 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.

(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. (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 (loss) attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. as presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. FFO should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss) attributable to Boston Properties, 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.
