announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and year
ended December 31, 2023 and other recent developments.
Fourth Quarter, Full Year 2023 and
Subsequent Highlights
- Reported results for the fourth
quarter of 2023 reflect net income attributable to common
stockholders of $0.20 per weighted average common share; Core Funds
from Operations attributable to common stockholders and unit
holders (“Core FFO”) of $0.47 per weighted average common share and
units; and Adjusted FFO (“AFFO”) of $0.48 per weighted average
common share and units. Reported results for the full year 2023
reflect net income attributable to common stockholders of $0.20 per
weighted average common share; Core FFO of $1.84 per weighted
average common share and units; and AFFO of $1.73 per weighted
average common share and units.
- Same store NOI (“SS NOI”) increased
6.6% on a GAAP basis excluding early termination income for the
fourth quarter compared with the same period in 2022; increased
9.7% on a cash basis excluding early termination income. SS NOI
increased 3.7% on a GAAP basis excluding early termination income
for 2023 compared with the same period in 2022; increased 7.6% on a
cash basis excluding early termination income.
- Commenced leases during the fourth
quarter experienced a 23.4% increase in rental rates on a cash
basis from leases greater than six months. Commenced leases during
the full year 2023 experienced a 21.0% increase in rental rates on
a cash basis from leases greater than six months. Through February
19, 2024, executed leases scheduled to commence during 2024,
excluding leases associated with new construction, total an
aggregate of 3,181,442 square feet, all of which are associated
with terms of at least six months. The Company will experience a
15.7% increase in rental rates on a cash basis from these
leases.
- Completed the disposition of an
industrial building in New Jersey for $16.8 million, yielding a
6.3% cap rate on in-place NOI and an IRR of 18.2% over a nine-year
hold period; the sale resulted in $16.2 million of net proceeds,
all of which were used to reduce outstanding borrowings on the
Company’s unsecured credit facility. During 2023, the Company
completed $36.7 million of dispositions, which resulted in the
paydown of $35.8 million in debt.
- On November 1, repaid the AIG Loan
in full in the amount of approximately $110 million, or $106.9
million after factoring the release of lender escrows; the
repayment leaves the Company with only $18.4 million of debt
maturing until August 2025.
- Effective with the first quarter of
2024, the Board of Directors declared a 6.7% increase in the
regular quarterly cash dividend for the common stock from $0.225
per share to $0.240 per share, or $0.96 per share on an annualized
basis.
- Issued full year 2024 guidance
ranges for net loss per weighted average common share of $(0.12) to
$(0.08) and Core FFO of $1.88 to $1.92 per weighted average common
share and units along with accompanying assumptions.
Jeff Witherell, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of Plymouth Industrial REIT, noted, “As we complete our
most substantial year of leasing in 2023 with a 21% increase in
rental rates on a cash basis, we also acknowledge a truly
transformative year of work to put our balance sheet in the best
position it’s been in our history. With a positive outlook in the
Golden Triangle over the next two years and a focus on strategic
deployment of our available liquidity to generate growth, we
believe we are positioned to take advantage of an improved
transaction environment later this year and into 2025.”
Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter
of 2023 Net income attributable to common stockholders for
the quarter ended December 31, 2023 was $9.2 million, or $0.20 per
weighted average common share outstanding, compared with net loss
attributable to common stockholders of $4.5 million, or $(0.11) per
weighted average common share outstanding, for the same period in
2022. The year-over-year improvement was primarily due to a $10.5
million net gain on sale of real estate and an increase in net
operating income, partially offset by increased interest expense
resulting from higher interest rates. Weighted average common
shares outstanding for the fourth quarters ended December 31, 2023
and 2022 were 44.9 million and 42.6 million, respectively.
Consolidated total revenues for the quarter
ended December 31, 2023 were $50.8 million, compared with $47.3
million for the same period in 2022.
NOI for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 was
$35.6 million compared with $33.1 million for the same period in
2022. Same store NOI (“SS NOI”) excluding early termination income
– GAAP basis for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 was $31.5
million compared with $29.6 million for the same period in 2022, an
increase of 6.6%. SS NOI excluding early termination income – Cash
basis for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 was $31.5 million
compared with $28.7 million for the same period in 2022, an
increase of 9.7%. SS NOI for the fourth quarter was positively
impacted by rent escalations and renewal and new leasing spreads.
The same store portfolio is comprised of 182 buildings totaling
30.8 million square feet, or 90.6% of the Company’s total
portfolio, and was 98.4% occupied as of December 31, 2023.
EBITDAre for the quarter ended December 31, 2023
was $31.3 million compared with $28.9 million for the same period
in 2022.
Core FFO for the quarter ended December 31, 2023
was $21.6 million compared with $19.1 million for the same period
in 2022, primarily as a result of the growth in same-store NOI,
contribution from developments placed into service and a decrease
in preferred stock dividends resulting from the full redemption of
the Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock, partially offset by an
increase in interest expense. The Company reported Core FFO for the
quarter ended December 31, 2023 of $0.47 per weighted average
common share and unit compared with $0.44 per weighted average
common share and unit for the same period in 2022. Weighted average
common shares and units outstanding for the fourth quarters ended
December 31, 2023, and 2022 were 45.7 million and 43.3 million,
respectively.
AFFO for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 was
$22.0 million, or $0.48 per weighted average common share and unit,
compared with $18.3 million, or $0.42 per weighted average common
share and unit, for the same period in 2022. The results reflected
the aforementioned changes in Core FFO and a reduction in
straight-line rent adjustments, recurring capital expenditures, and
capitalized interest related to development projects.
See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for complete
definitions of NOI, EBITDAre, Core FFO and AFFO and the financial
tables accompanying this press release for reconciliations of net
income to NOI, EBITDAre, Core FFO and AFFO.
Liquidity and Capital Markets
ActivityAs of February 19, 2023, the Company’s current
cash balance was approximately $7.7 million, excluding operating
expense escrows of approximately $4.6 million, and it has
approximately $194.6 million of capacity under the existing
unsecured line of credit.
As previously disclosed, on November 1, 2023,
Plymouth repaid the AIG Loan in full in the amount of approximately
$110 million, or $106.9 million after factoring the release of
lender escrows. The repayment was funded with a $106.9 million draw
on the Company’s unsecured credit facility. The previously
encumbered assets under the AIG Loan were added to the unencumbered
pool of the unsecured credit facility, thereby expanding
availability on the line of credit by approximately $19 million
after factoring the draw.
On November 10, 2023, the Company entered into
interest rate swap agreements with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., JPMorgan
Chase Bank, N.A., and Capital One, N.A. for a total notional amount
of $100 million to fix the USD-SOFR floating rate at a weighted
average of 4.7537% for its unsecured revolving credit facility
through maturity. Based on the Company’s current applicable spread
on its credit facility, the $100 million is fixed at a weighted
average interest rate of 6.4037% as of December 31, 2023.
After factoring in these interest rate swap
agreements, 94% of the Company’s outstanding debt as of December
31, 2023 is now fixed at a weighted average interest rate of 3.99%
with total debt outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of
4.36%. In addition, 69% of total debt outstanding is unsecured, and
the Company has only $18.4 million of debt maturing until August
2025.
Quarterly Distributions to
StockholdersOn February 21, 2024, the Board of Directors
declared a 6.7% increase in the regular quarterly common stock
dividend to $0.240 per share effective with the first quarter of
2024, or an annualized rate of $0.96 per share. The dividend will
be paid on April 30, 2024, to stockholders of record on March 28,
2024.
On January 31, 2024, the Company paid a regular
quarterly common stock dividend of $0.225 per share for the fourth
quarter of 2023 to stockholders of record on December 29, 2023.
Investment and Disposition
ActivityAs of December 31, 2023, the Company had real
estate investments comprised of 211 industrial buildings totaling
34.0 million square feet.
During the fourth quarter, Plymouth completed
the previously announced sale of its 156,634-square-foot industrial
building in Marlton, New Jersey for $16.8 million. The Company used
the net proceeds of $16.2 million to pay down outstanding
borrowings on its credit facility. The sale yielded a 6.3% cap rate
on in-place NOI and an IRR of 18.2% over a nine-year hold.
During the fourth quarter, Plymouth delivered a
fully leased industrial building in Jacksonville totaling 39,750
square feet. The final project in the first phase of its
development program, a 52,920-square-foot, fully leased building in
Jacksonville, is expected to come online in the third quarter of
2024. During the fourth quarter, Plymouth also signed a seven-year,
108,000-square-foot lease at its 180,000-square-foot industrial
building in Atlanta, bringing the new development to 100%
occupancy.
Leasing ActivityLeases
commencing during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023
totaled an aggregate of 966,167 square feet, all of which are
associated with terms of at least six months. These leases included
664,157 square feet of renewal leases and 302,010 square feet of
new leases. The Company will experience a 23.4% increase in rental
rates on a cash basis from these leases with renewal leases
experiencing a 19.5% increase on a cash basis and new leases
experiencing a 31.4% increase on a cash basis. Total portfolio
occupancy at December 31, 2023 was 98.1% and reflects recent new
developments now in service. Same store occupancy at December 31,
2023 was 98.4%.
Executed leases commencing during 2023,
excluding leases associated with new construction, totaled an
aggregate of 5,599,943 square feet, all of which are associated
with terms of at least six months. These leases included 3,945,024
square feet of renewal leases and 1,654,919 square feet of new
leases of which 109,098 square feet was vacant at the start of
2023.The Company will experience a 21.0% increase in rental rates
on a cash basis from these leases with renewal leases experiencing
a 16.3% increase on a cash basis and new leases experiencing a
31.4% increase on a cash basis.
Through February 19, 2024, the Company has
already executed 3,181,442 square feet of leases that will commence
during 2024, or 45.4% of its total 2024 expirations. These leases
included 2,466,864 square feet of renewal leases and 714,578 square
feet of new leases. Plymouth will experience a 15.7% increase in
rental rates on a cash basis from these leases with renewal leases
experiencing a 12.1% increase (34.0% of these renewals were
contractual) and new leases experience a 28.7% increase on a cash
basis.
The remaining 2024 expirations include a
769,500-square-foot Class A industrial building in the Metro East
submarket of St. Louis. The tenant did not exercise its renewal
option which expired January 31, 2024. The Company is operating
under the assumption that the tenant will be vacating the building
upon its lease expiration on July 31, 2024, and is actively
marketing the property for lease. In its full year 2024 guidance
noted below, Plymouth has assumed at the low end of the range that
the tenant will vacate at the current expiration of its lease and
the property will remain vacant through the balance of the year.
The mid-point of the guidance range noted below assumes the tenant
renews or the space is released before July 31, 2024.

issued its full year 2024 guidance ranges for net loss and Core FFO
per weighted average common share and units as well as the

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Definitions
Net Operating Income (NOI): We consider net
operating income, or NOI, to be an appropriate supplemental measure
to net income in that it helps both investors and management
understand the core operations of our properties. We define NOI as
total revenue (including rental revenue and tenant reimbursements)
less property-level operating expenses. NOI excludes depreciation
and amortization, general and administrative expenses, impairments,
gain/loss on sale of real estate, interest expense, and other
non-operating items.
EBITDAre: We
define earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization for real estate in accordance with the standards
established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment
Trusts (“NAREIT”). EBITDAre represents net income (loss), computed
in accordance with GAAP, before interest expense, tax, depreciation
and amortization, gains or losses on the sale of rental property,
appreciation (depreciation) of warrants, loss on impairments, and
loss on extinguishment of debt. We believe that EBITDAre is helpful
to investors as a supplemental measure of our operating performance
as a real estate company as it is a direct measure of the actual
operating results of our industrial properties.
Funds from Operations (“FFO”): Funds from
operations, or FFO, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is widely
recognized as a measure of an REIT’s operating performance,
thereby, providing investors the potential to compare our operating
performance with that of other REITs. We consider FFO to be an
appropriate supplemental measure of our operating performance as it
is based on a net income analysis of property portfolio performance
that excludes non-cash items such as depreciation. The historical
accounting convention used for real estate assets requires
straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which
implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably
over time. Since real estate values rise and fall with market
conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT, using
historical accounting for depreciation, could be less informative.
In December 2018, NAREIT issued a white paper restating the
definition of FFO. The purpose of the restatement was not to change
the fundamental definition of FFO, but to clarify existing NAREIT
guidance. The restated definition of FFO is as follows: Net Income
(calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding:(i) Depreciation
and amortization related to real estate, (ii) Gains and losses from
the sale of certain real estate assets, (iii) Gain and losses from
change in control, and (iv) Impairment write-downs of certain real
estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is
directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real
estate held by the entity. We define FFO, consistent with the
NAREIT definition. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and
joint ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.
Other equity REITs may not calculate FFO as we do, and,
accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’
FFO. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity and is
not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our
ability to pay dividends.
Core Funds from Operations (“Core FFO”): We
calculate Core FFO by adjusting FFO for non-comparable items such
as dividends paid (or declared) to holders of our preferred stock,
acquisition and transaction related expenses for transactions not
completed, and certain non-cash operating expenses such as
impairment on real estate lease, appreciation/(depreciation) of
warrants and loss on extinguishment of debt. We believe that Core
FFO is a useful supplemental measure in addition to FFO by
adjusting for items that are not considered by us to be part of the
period-over-period operating performance of our property portfolio,
thereby, providing a more meaningful and consistent comparison of
our operating and financial performance during the periods
presented. As with FFO, our reported Core FFO may not be comparable
to other REITs’ Core FFO, should not be used as a measure of our
liquidity, and is not indicative of our funds available for our
cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.
Adjusted Funds from Operations
(“AFFO”): Adjusted funds from operations, or
AFFO, is presented in addition to Core FFO. AFFO is defined as Core
FFO, excluding certain non-cash operating revenues and expenses,
capitalized interest and recurring capitalized expenditures.
Recurring capitalized expenditures include expenditures required to
maintain and re-tenant our properties, tenant improvements and
leasing commissions. AFFO further adjusts Core FFO for certain
other non-cash items, including the amortization or accretion of
above or below market rents included in revenues, straight line
rent adjustments, non-cash equity compensation and non-cash
interest expense.
We believe AFFO provides a useful supplemental measure of our
operating performance because it provides a consistent comparison
of our operating performance across time periods that is comparable
for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with
management’s analysis of the operating performance of our
properties. As a result, we believe that the use of AFFO, together
with the required GAAP presentations, provide a more complete
understanding of our operating performance. As with Core FFO, our
reported AFFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ AFFO, should
not be used as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of
our funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to
pay dividends.
