The earnings call reflects a mixed sentiment. While there are positives like stable supply metrics, strong market rents in key areas, and projected development leasing increases, concerns exist about credit risks, vague management responses, and the impact of tariffs. The lack of clear guidance on several issues tempers optimism. Overall, the sentiment is balanced, leading to a neutral prediction for stock price movement.
NAREIT funds from operations (FFO) $0.76 per fully diluted share in 3Q 2025, compared to $0.68 per share in 3Q 2024, representing an increase. The increase was positively impacted by $0.01 per share related to an insurance claim recovery.
Cash same store NOI growth 6.1% for 3Q 2025, excluding termination fees, primarily driven by increases in rental rates on new and renewal leasing, contractual rent bumps, and the insurance claim recovery. Excluding the insurance recovery, the growth was 5.4%. The growth was partially offset by lower average occupancy and higher free rent.
In-service occupancy 94% at the end of 3Q 2025, down 20 basis points from the second quarter. The decline was due to lower average occupancy.
Leasing activity Approximately 2.2 million square feet of leases commenced in 3Q 2025, including 400,000 square feet of new leases, 900,000 square feet of renewals, and 800,000 square feet for developments and acquisitions with lease-up.
Bad debt expense $245,000 for 3Q 2025, bringing the year-to-date total to approximately $750,000. This aligns with the original guidance.
Development leasing: Several development lease signings in Q3 and Q4, including a key win in the Inland Empire. Leased 501,000 square feet in Camelback 303 joint venture, 56,000 square feet at First Park Miami Building 3, and 159,000 square feet at First Harley Knox Logistics Center.
Portfolio occupancy: In-service occupancy at 94% at quarter-end. 95% of 2025 rollovers addressed with a 32% cash rental rate increase.
Leasing market: Touring activity for new leasing increased in Q3. National leasing projected to reach near-record levels of 900 million square feet in 2025, second only to 2021.
Target markets: Net absorption in 15 target markets was 11 million square feet in Q3, totaling 22 million for the first three quarters. Space under construction in these markets totals 212 million square feet, with 47% pre-leased.
Cash same store NOI growth: 6.1% growth in Q3, driven by rental rate increases, contractual rent bumps, and insurance claim recovery. Excluding insurance recovery, growth was 5.4%.
Bad debt expense: $245,000 for Q3, totaling $750,000 year-to-date, aligning with original guidance.
FFO guidance increase: 2025 NAREIT FFO midpoint increased by $0.04 to $2.96 per share due to development leasing successes, lower interest expense, and insurance claim recovery.
Future outlook: Focus on converting prospects into tenants to drive cash flow growth. Anticipation of increased tenant commitments as tariff uncertainties diminish.
Tenant decision-making delays: Uncertainty around tariffs is causing tenants to delay decisions, impacting leasing activities.
Bad debt expense: Bad debt expense for the year is approximately $750,000, with a forecast of $250,000 for the fourth quarter, indicating potential credit risks.
Credit watch list: A 3PL tenant has been added to the credit watch list, and rent is being collected directly from the subtenant, signaling potential financial instability.
Occupancy rates: In-service occupancy decreased to 94%, down 20 basis points from the second quarter, which could impact revenue.
Economic uncertainties: The topic of tariffs and global economic conditions are creating uncertainties that may affect tenant investments and leasing commitments.
2025 NAREIT FFO midpoint: Increased by $0.04 to $2.96 per share, with a tightened range of $2.94 to $2.98 per share. This increase is attributed to development leasing successes, lower interest expense, and an insurance claim recovery.
End of fourth quarter in-service occupancy: Expected to range between 94% to 96%, implying an average quarter-end in-service occupancy for the year of 94.4% to 94.9%.
Fourth quarter cash same store NOI growth: Projected to be between 3% to 5%, leading to a 2025 quarterly average same store NOI growth of 7% to 7.5%, a 75 basis point increase at the midpoint.
Leasing activity: Midpoint assumes an additional 300,000 square feet of in-service developments will be leased by December 31, 2025. This lease-up assumption does not impact the midpoint FFO guidance due to the December 31 date.
G&A expense guidance: Estimated to range between $40.5 million to $41.5 million for the full year 2025.
Capitalized interest: Expected to be about $0.09 per share for the full year 2025.
