Equity Commonwealth Reports Third Quarter 2024 Results
Chicago – October 23, 2024 - Equity Commonwealth (NYSE: EQC) today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024
Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $28.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. This compares to net income attributable to common shareholders of $24.1 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in net income was primarily due to a $50.2 million loss on asset impairment.
Funds from Operations, or FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, were $26.2 million, or $0.24 per diluted share. This compares to FFO for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 of $28.7 million, or $0.26 per diluted share. The following items impacted FFO for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to the corresponding 2023 period:
•$(0.02) per diluted share increase in general and administrative expenses, including $1.2 million of wind down costs incurred during the quarter;
•$(0.01) per diluted share decrease in same property NOI; and
•$0.01 per diluted share increase in interest and other income, net.
Normalized FFO was $27.4 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. This compares to Normalized FFO for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 of $28.6 million, or $0.26 per diluted share. The following items impacted Normalized FFO for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to the corresponding 2023 period:
•$(0.01) per diluted share decrease in same property NOI;
•$(0.01) per diluted share increase in general and administrative expenses; and
•$0.01 per diluted share increase in interest and other income, net.
Normalized FFO begins with FFO and eliminates certain items that, by their nature, are not comparable from period to period, non-cash items, and items that obscure the company’s operating performance. Definitions of FFO, Normalized FFO and reconciliations to net income, determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, are included at the end of this press release.
Our two Austin properties and 1250 H Street are classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2024. We recognized a $50.2 million loss on asset impairment related to these properties. The impairment charge reflects our estimated market value of the properties less costs to sell. Of the $50.2 million loss on asset impairment, $33.9 million was charged against the net book value of the real estate and $16.3 million was charged against non-real estate assets to be transferred to a buyer or written off upon sale.
As of September 30, 2024, the company’s cash and cash equivalents balance was $2.2 billion.
Same property results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024
The company’s same property portfolio at the end of the quarter consisted of 4 properties totaling 1.5 million square feet. Operating results were as follows:
•The same property portfolio was 69.7% leased as of September 30, 2024, compared to 71.4% as of June 30, 2024, and 80.8% as of September 30, 2023.
•The same property portfolio commenced occupancy was 69.4% as of September 30, 2024, compared to 70.7% as of June 30, 2024, and 79.9% as of September 30, 2023.
•Same property NOI decreased 16.0% when compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to a decrease in average commenced occupancy.
•Same property cash NOI decreased 15.4% when compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to a decrease in average commenced occupancy.
•The company did not enter into any leases during the quarter.
The definitions and reconciliations of same property NOI and same property cash NOI to net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, are included at the end of this press release. The same property portfolio at the end of the quarter included properties continuously owned from July 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024.
Disposition Update
The sale of our two Austin properties, Bridgepoint Square and 206 East 9th Street, and 1250 H Street in Washington, D.C. are under contract with non-refundable earnest money deposits. These sales, which do not require shareholder approval of the Company’s Plan of Sale, are anticipated to begin closing in early November 2024, subject in each case to contractual extensions and other closing conditions. Current pricing for these sales is consistent with the assumptions underlying the estimated aggregate shareholder distribution range of $19.50 to $21.00 per share disclosed in our definitive proxy statement (the “Definitive Proxy”) filed on October 2, 2024 in connection with the special meeting of shareholders scheduled for November 12, 2024, where the Company intends to seek shareholder approval of its Plan of Sale. The closing of these sales is not expected to impact the estimated range or timing of the initial cash distribution to our common shareholders as disclosed in the Definitive Proxy, which we estimated to be $18.00 to $19.00 per share and paid within thirty days following shareholder approval of the Plan of Sale after payment of the liquidation preference to the holders of our Series D Preferred Shares. The marketing of our property located at 1225 Seventeenth Street in Denver, CO commenced in September 2024. Any closing on the sale of the Denver property will occur after shareholder approval of the Plan of Sale.
While we are focused on executing on the sale of our assets, the market conditions for selling office assets are uniquely challenging at this time. As a result, we may not be able to complete sales in a timely manner, if at all, any such dispositions could be completed for less than estimated, and our liquidating distributions could be delayed or reduced as a result.
We will provide updates with respect to the dispositions of our four remaining properties if and to the extent that any sales close.
Earnings conference call & supplemental operating and financial information
Equity Commonwealth will host a conference call to discuss third quarter results on Wednesday, October 24, 2024, at 9:00 A.M. CT. The conference call will be available via live audio webcast on the Investor Relations section of the company’s website (www.eqcre.com). A replay of the audio webcast will also be available following the call.
A copy of EQC’s Third Quarter 2024 Supplemental Operating and Financial Information is available in the Investor Relations section of EQC’s website at www.eqcre.com.

Our calculations of FFO and Normalized FFO attributable to EQC common shareholders and unitholders per share and unit - basic for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 include 180 and 348 LTIP/Operating Partnership Units, respectively, that are excluded from the calculation of basic earnings per common share attributable to EQC common shareholders (only). |

We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by Nareit. Nareit defines FFO as net income (loss), calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding real estate depreciation and amortization, gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable property, impairment of depreciable real estate and our portion of these items related to equity investees and noncontrolling interests. Our calculation of Normalized FFO differs from Nareit’s definition of FFO because we exclude certain items that we view as nonrecurring or impacting comparability from period to period. FFO and Normalized FFO are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures. We consider FFO and Normalized FFO to be appropriate measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to EQC common shareholders and cash flow from operating activities. |
|
We believe that FFO and Normalized FFO provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation expense, FFO and Normalized FFO may facilitate a comparison of our operating performance between periods and with other REITs. FFO and Normalized FFO do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to EQC common shareholders or cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, or as indicators of our financial performance or liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of our needs. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to EQC common shareholders and cash flow from operating activities as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate FFO and Normalized FFO differently than we do. |

NOI is income from our real estate including lease termination fees received from tenants less our property operating expenses. NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions and corporate level expenses. Cash Basis NOI is NOI excluding the effects of straight-line rent adjustments, lease value amortization and lease termination fees. The quarter-to-date same property versions of these measures include the results of properties continuously owned from July 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024. The year-to-date same property versions of these measures include the results of properties continuously owned from January 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024. |

We consider these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to be appropriate supplemental measures to net income (loss) because they may help to understand the operations of our properties. We use these measures internally to evaluate property level performance, and we believe that they provide useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because they reflect only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level and may facilitate comparisons of our operating performance between periods and with other REITs. Cash Basis NOI is among the factors considered with respect to acquisition, disposition and financing decisions. These measures do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to Equity Commonwealth common shareholders or cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, or as indicators of our financial performance or liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of our needs. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to EQC common shareholders and cash flow from operating activities as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate these measures differently than we do. |

Annualized Rental Revenue
Annualized Rental Revenue is annualized contractual rents from our tenants pursuant to leases which have commenced as of September 30, 2024, plus estimated recurring expense reimbursements; excludes lease value amortization, straight-line rent adjustments, abated (free) rent periods and parking revenue. We calculate annualized rental revenue by aggregating the recurring billings outlined above for the most recent month during the quarter reported, adding abated rent, and multiplying the sum by 12 to provide an estimation of near-term potentially-recurring revenues. The annualized rental revenue of disposed properties, if any, is presented for the quarter-ended preceding each disposition.
Annualized rental revenue is a forward-looking non-GAAP measure. Annualized rental revenue cannot be reconciled to a comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts, primarily due to the fact that it is calculated from the billings of tenants in the most recent month at the most recent rental rates during the quarter reported, whereas historical GAAP measures include billings from a potentially different group of tenants over multiple months at potentially different rental rates.
Building Improvements
Building improvements are expenditures to replace obsolete building components or extend the useful life of existing assets. Tenant-funded capital expenditures are excluded.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA), EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre
We calculate EBITDA as net income (loss) excluding interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization.
We calculate EBITDAre in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (Nareit). Nareit defines EBITDAre as net income (loss), calculated in accordance with 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. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDAre differs from our calculations of EBITDA and EBITDAre because we exclude certain items that we view as nonrecurring or impacting comparability from period to period. EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures.
We consider EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre to be appropriate measures of our operating performance, along with net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to EQC common shareholders, and cash flow from operating activities. We believe that EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as interest, depreciation and amortization expense, EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre may facilitate a comparison of current operating performance with our past operating performance. EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to EQC common shareholders or cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, or as indicators of our financial performance or liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of our needs. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to EQC common shareholders and cash flow from operating activities as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre differently than we do.
Funds from Operations (FFO) and Normalized FFO
We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by Nareit. Nareit defines FFO as net income (loss), calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding real estate depreciation and amortization, gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable property, impairment of depreciable real estate and our portion of these items related to equity investees and noncontrolling interests. Our calculation of Normalized FFO differs from Nareit’s definition of FFO because we exclude certain items that we view as nonrecurring or impacting comparability from period to period. FFO and Normalized FFO are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures. We consider FFO and Normalized FFO to be appropriate measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to EQC common shareholders and cash flow from operating activities.
We believe that FFO and Normalized FFO provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation expense, FFO and Normalized FFO may facilitate a comparison of our operating performance between periods and with other REITs. FFO and Normalized FFO do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to EQC common shareholders or cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, or as indicators of our financial performance or liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of our needs. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to EQC common shareholders and cash flow from operating activities as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate FFO and Normalized FFO differently than we do.
Leasing Costs
Leasing costs include leasing commissions (LCs) and related legal expenses.
LTIP Units
LTIP Units are a class of beneficial interests in EQC Operating Trust (the Operating Trust) that may be issued to employees, officers or trustees of the Operating Trust, EQC, or their subsidiaries.
Net Operating Income (NOI), Same Property NOI, Cash Basis NOI and Same Property Cash Basis NOI
NOI is income from our real estate including lease termination fees received from tenants less our property operating expenses. NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions and corporate level expenses. Cash Basis NOI is NOI excluding the effects of straight-line rent adjustments, lease value amortization and lease termination fees. The quarter-to-date same property versions of these measures include the results of properties continuously owned from July 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024. The year-to-date same property versions of these measures include the results of properties continuously owned from January 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024.
We consider these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to be appropriate supplemental measures to net income (loss) because they may help to understand the operations of our properties. We use these measures internally to evaluate property level performance, and we believe that they provide useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because they reflect only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level and may facilitate comparisons of our operating performance between periods and with other REITs. Cash Basis NOI is among the factors considered with respect to acquisition, disposition and financing decisions. These measures do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to Equity Commonwealth common shareholders or cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, or as indicators of our financial performance or liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of our needs. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to EQC common shareholders and cash flow from operating activities as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Other REITs and real estate companies may calculate these measures differently than we do.
Net Book Value
Net book value represents the carrying value of real estate properties after depreciation and amortization, purchase price allocations and impairment write-downs, if any.
NOI Margin
NOI Margin is NOI (or the same property or cash basis derivations of NOI defined above) divided by the total revenues used to calculate NOI (or its derivation).
Operating Partnership Units
Operating Partnership Units are beneficial interests in the Operating Trust.
Other Revenue
Other revenue is primarily comprised of parking revenue that does not represent a component of a lease.
Percentage Commenced
Percentage commenced is the percentage of space subject to leases that have commenced for revenue recognition purposes in accordance with GAAP, which includes the space of tenants in a free rent period.
Percentage Leased
Percentage leased is the percentage of space subject to signed leases.
Rental Revenue
Rental revenue is primarily comprised of minimum lease payments from tenants, including tenant reimbursements. In addition, rental revenue includes lease termination fees and straight-line rent adjustments.
Same Properties
Our quarter-to-date same property portfolio is comprised of those properties continuously owned from July 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024. Our year-to-date same property portfolio is comprised of those properties continuously owned from January 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024.
Tenant Improvements
Tenant improvements are capital expenditures to improve tenant spaces.
Total Market Capitalization
Total market capitalization is the market value of preferred shares plus the market value of diluted common shares. The market value of preferred shares is the product of the number of Series D preferred shares outstanding at the end of the period and the closing share price of the Series D preferred shares (EQCpD) at the end of the period. The market value of diluted common shares is the product of the number of diluted common shares outstanding at the end of the period and the closing share price of the common shares (EQC) at the end of the period.
Undepreciated Book Value
Undepreciated book value represents the carrying value of real estate properties after purchase price allocations, and impairment write-downs, if any.
