COLUMBIA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--COPT Defense Properties (“COPT Defense” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CDP) announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.
Management Comments
Stephen E. Budorick, COPT Defense’s President & Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our Defense/IT investment strategy, which has concentrated our portfolio near priority U.S. defense installations, continues to produce strong results. Our Defense/IT Portfolio is 97% leased, which is the highest leased rate since we started reporting the segment in 2015, supported by growth in defense spending, resulting in continued tenant demand from both our U.S. Government and Defense Contractor tenants.
Our third quarter results were solid, with FFO per share at the midpoint of our guidance range, which led us to narrow the full-year guidance range. We continue to outperform in terms of same property cash NOI growth, which increased 4.5% for 3Q23 over 3Q22, and 6.2% in 2023 YTD over 2022 YTD, which led us to increase our full-year change in same property cash NOI guidance by another 100 basis points. We are highly confident that we will achieve our leasing goals, as we have executed 84% of our vacancy leasing goal and 70% of our development leasing goal, while tenant retention YTD is squarely within our full-year guidance range.
From a balance sheet perspective, our Finance and Capital Markets team once again proved our ability to source low-cost capital to fund our accretive and highly leased development pipeline, as evidenced by our September issuance of $345 million of exchangeable notes due 2028 at 5.25%, which was roughly 200 basis points below where we could have priced 5-year unsecured debt. With this capital raise, and our ability to fund the equity investment in our projects with cash flow from operations after our dividend payments, we forecast we can now fund our anticipated development spend through late 2026. Our investment grade balance sheet is well positioned to navigate the challenging capital markets environment, as we have no variable rate debt exposure and have no significant debt maturity until 2026.
We remain confident in our strategy of allocating capital to investments in our Defense/IT Portfolio that will support continued growth in FFO per share and shareholder value.”

Upon exchange of the notes, the principal amount of notes exchanged is payable in cash, with the remainder of the exchange obligation, if any, payable in cash, common shares or a combination thereof at the Company’s election.
