JERICHO, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kimco Realty Corp. (NYSE: KIM), one of North America’s largest publicly traded owners and operators of open-air, grocery-anchored shopping centers and mixed-use assets, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020. For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, Kimco’s net income available to the company’s common shareholders was $1.71 per diluted share and $0.20 per diluted share, respectively.
Second Quarter Highlights:
- Reported pro-rata portfolio occupancy of 95.6% with anchor occupancy at 98.2%.
- Signed 52 new leases generating pro-rata cash rental rate leasing spreads of 22.9%.
- Executed 180 lease renewals & options at an average rental rate increase of 10.7%.
- Collected approximately 70% of rents for the second quarter, including 76% for the month of June.
- Recognized $715.5 million in gains from the company’s investment in Albertsons Companies Inc. (NYSE: ACI).
- Ended the quarter with a liquidity position of over $2.2 billion in immediate availability.
Subsequent Highlights:
- Collected 82% of July 2020 rent.
- Expanded debt maturity profile with the issuance of a $500 million, 10-year green bond at 2.700%. Proceeds were used to pay off a $325 million unsecured term loan facility and redeem $200 million of bonds maturing in 2021.
- Enhanced ESG disclosure with 2019 Corporate Responsibility Report that aligns with guidelines established by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
“Our results reflect the resiliency of our portfolio, our balance sheet and our people,” stated Conor Flynn, Kimco’s Chief Executive Officer. All of our centers are open and operating, serving their local communities with essential goods and services in a safe, inviting environment. Quality is more important than ever, and our repositioned portfolio continues to hold up in the face of the pandemic. We thank all the front-line workers as they combat the challenges of COVID-19. And we remain committed to our tenants, shoppers and associates in these unprecedented times.”
Financial Results:
Net income available to the company’s common shareholders for the second quarter of 2020 was $741.5 million, or $1.71 per diluted share, compared to $86.5 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2019. The increase was due primarily to $190.8 million of gains related to the partial monetization of Kimco’s investment in ACI from the sale of stock during the second quarter, as well as a $524.7 mark-to-market adjustment on the remaining 39.8 million common shares of ACI still held by the company. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2020, the company recognized a $51.7 million charge for potentially uncollectible accounts receivable due to the negative economic impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This charge consisted of a $40.1 million adjustment against accounts receivable (including $5.1 million as the pro-rata share from joint ventures) and an $11.6 million adjustment against straight line rent receivables (including $1.8 million as the pro-rata share from joint ventures).
NAREIT Funds From Operations (FFO)* was $103.5 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2020 compared to $151.2 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2019. NAREIT FFO excludes the impact from the $715.5 million of gains recognized from Kimco’s investment in ACI and includes the $51.7 million pro-rata charge to the allowance for doubtful accounts during the second quarter of 2020.
Operating Results:
- Pro-rata portfolio occupancy ended the quarter at 95.6%.
- Pro-rata anchor occupancy ended the quarter at 98.2%, flat on a year-over-year basis. On a sequential basis it was down 40 basis points primarily due to the vacates of four 24 Hour Fitness locations, one Lucky’s Market, two Pier 1 leases and the closing of three A.C. Moore stores during the second quarter of 2020.
- Small shop occupancy ended the quarter at 88.0%, representing a 250-basis-point decline year-over-year and an 80-basis-point sequential decrease.
- Pro-rata rental-rate spreads on comparable spaces during the second quarter of 2020 increased 12.0%, with rental rates for new leases up 22.9% and renewals/options up 10.7%.
- Same-property Net Operating Income (NOI)* decreased 13.6% for the second quarter of 2020 over the comparable period in 2019 due primarily to a charge for potentially uncollectible accounts receivable.
Capital Markets:
- Obtained a $590 million unsecured term loan priced at LIBOR plus 140 basis points in April, scheduled to mature April 2021, extendable at Kimco’s option for one year. During the quarter, the company repaid $265 million of the term loan mainly through the proceeds realized from the monetization of the company’s ownership stake in Albertsons. The outstanding balance of the term loan at the end of the second quarter was $325 million.
- Ended the second quarter with over $2.2 billion of immediate liquidity, including full availability under the company’s $2.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, and a consolidated weighted-average debt maturity profile of 10.6 years, which remains one of the longest in the industry. In addition, Kimco maintains $628.2 million of ACI common stock, subject to certain lock-up provisions, and has approximately 320 unencumbered properties in its portfolio.
- Subsequent to quarter end, Kimco issued a $500 million, 10-year green bond at a 2.700% coupon. Prior to investments in eligible green projects, proceeds were used primarily to pay off the remaining $325 million unsecured term loan and redeem $200 million of 3.20% Senior Notes due 2021.
*A reconciliation of net income available to the company’s common shareholders to NAREIT FFO and same-property NOI is provided in the tables accompanying this press release.
COVID-19 Update:
- At the end of July, all of Kimco’s shopping centers remain open and operational with approximately 94% of tenants, based on annualized base rent (ABR), currently open, including those that are operating on a limited basis.
- Kimco has collected approximately 70% and 82% of the total pro-rata base rents billed for the second quarter of 2020 and for the month of July, respectively.
- The company granted rent deferrals approximating 18% of pro-rata minimum base rent for the second quarter of 2020. The company continues to negotiate with tenants the payment of rents not yet collected or deferred.
Dividend Declarations:
- Quarterly dividend declared for each of the company’s Class L and Class M series of cumulative redeemable preferred shares by Kimco’s board of directors. All dividends on the preferred shares will be paid on October 15, 2020 to shareholders of record on October 1, 2020.
- Kimco paid a second quarter dividend of $0.28 per common share in April of 2020. In May, the company’s Board of Directors temporarily suspended the dividend on common shares due to the economic uncertainties related to COVID-19. Kimco’s Board of Directors will continue to monitor the company’s financial performance and economic outlook on a monthly-basis and intends to reinstate the common dividend at some point during 2020 to maintain compliance with its REIT taxable income distribution.
