COPT Reports Third Quarter 2017 Results

COLUMBIA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Corporate Office Properties Trust (“COPT” or the “Company”) (NYSE: OFC) announced financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Management Comments

“FFO per share, as adjusted for comparability, of $0.53 in the third quarter was at the high end of our guidance. Same office cash NOI increased 5.2% in the third quarter, exceeding our expectation and evidencing the strengthening demand in our markets,” stated Stephen E. Budorick, COPT’s President & Chief Executive Officer.

“As we expected, demand has accelerated in the past 90 days, in part due to the federal government’s finalizing their fiscal year 2017 budget in early May, and also due to the continued expectation for mid-single digit defense spending growth for the foreseeable future. In the first nine months, we completed 2.0 million square feet of leasing, one third of which related to new demand, including 482,000 square feet of development leasing.”

“Thus far in the fourth quarter, we have completed 185,000 square feet of development leasing, including 170,000 square feet in two new projects we press released today. Our year-to-date development leasing now stands at 667,000 square feet. We are on-track to exceed our annual development leasing goal of 700,000 square feet by at least 100,000 square feet, and will enter 2018 with strong leasing momentum. Bolstering our confidence is the fact that our Shadow Development Pipeline has significantly increased in the past 90 days, and now stands at 2 to 3 million square feet of low-risk, largely build-to-suit opportunities,” added Mr. Budorick.

2017 Guidance

Management is narrowing its previously issued guidance range for full year EPS and FFOPS, as adjusted for comparability, to revised ranges of $0.64―$0.66 and $2.03―$2.05, respectively. Management also is revising EPS and FFOPS, as adjusted for comparability, guidance for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2017 to ranges of $0.18―$0.20 and $0.53―$0.55, respectively. Reconciliations of projected diluted EPS to projected FFOPS are as follows:

EPS $ 0.18 $ 0.20 $ 0.64 $ 0.66

FFOPS, as adjusted for comparability $ 0.53 $ 0.55 $ 2.03   $ 2.05  
 

This guidance is supported by the following assumptions:

  • Same Office: Consistent with prior guidance, the Company expects its same office cash NOI to increase 3.3%—3.6% for the full year. In terms of same office occupancy, the Company is narrowing its year-end guidance, from the prior range of 92%—93%, to a revised range of 92.5%—93%.
  • Tenant Retention: The Company is increasing its full year guidance for tenant retention from the prior range of 75%—80%, to a new range of 80%—82%.
  • Asset Sales: The Company’s revised guidance does not contemplate any further asset sales.
