“In the second quarter we continued to execute on our Plan of Sale, building a pipeline of accepted offers totaling over $150 million of gross proceeds. We expect to continue to use sale proceeds to pay down our term loan while maintaining appropriate cash balances to fund ongoing operations. As we look ahead, despite the continued uncertainty surrounding the economy, the November elections, and the increasingly tenuous geopolitical climate, we remain focused on our plan of sale while continuing to position our portfolio and balance sheet for a potential strategic transaction.” said Andrea L.

$8.3 million in gross proceeds from two vacant/non-income producing Non-Core assets sold at $20.78 PSF eliminating $0.7 million of carry costs.
As of August 14, 2024, the Company has five assets under contract for anticipated gross proceeds of $138.6 million. All assets for sale are subject to customary closing conditions. Of these five assets, two are for sale with no due diligence contingencies for total anticipated gross proceeds of $51.9 million and three assets are under contract for sale subject to customary due diligence for anticipated gross proceeds of $86.7 million at share including:
$53.3 million in gross proceeds from two income producing Multi-Tenant Retail assets reflecting a 8.4% blended capitalization rate;
$45.1 million in gross proceeds from two vacant/non- income producing Non-Core assets to be sold at $112.84 PSF eliminating $0.9 million of carry costs; and
$40.2 million in gross proceeds from monetizing an unconsolidated entity interest.
The Company has accepted offers on and is currently negotiating definitive purchase and sale agreements on two assets for total gross proceeds approximately $13.8 million from monetizing two unconsolidated entity interests.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash on hand of $100.5 million, including $13.8 million of restricted cash. The Company expects to use these sources of liquidity, together with a combination of future sales and/or potential alternative financing arrangements, to pay its financing obligations and fund its operations and development activity. The availability of funding from sales of assets is subject to various conditions, and there can be no assurance that such transactions will be consummated. For more information on our liquidity position, including our going concern analysis, please see the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 and in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” each in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Impairment - Aventura

During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, due to ongoing negotiations for rent relief with existing tenants that began in the second quarter of 2024 which triggered the need for an impairment analysis pursuant to ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company recognized an $85.8 million impairment on its development property in Aventura, FL, primarily due to changes in discount rates and residual capitalization rates. In accordance with GAAP, the impairment was recognized as a result of the carrying value of the asset exceeding the undiscounted cash flows over the estimated holding period. The amount of the impairment is determined by applying a discount to the projected cash flows and writing down the carrying value to the estimated current fair value. The Company will continue to evaluate its portfolio, including its development plans and holding periods, which may result in additional impairments in future periods.

Litigation Matters

On July 1, 2024, a purported shareholder of the Company filed a class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Zhengxu He, Trustee of the He & Fang 2005 Revocable Living Trust v. Seritage Growth Properties, Case No. 1:24:CV:05007, alleging that the Company, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer violated the federal securities laws. The complaint seeks to bring a class action on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Company securities between July 7, 2022 and May 10, 2024. The complaint alleges that the defendants violated federal securities laws by issuing false, misleading, and/or omissive disclosures concerning the Company’s alleged lack of effective internal controls regarding the identification and review of impairment indicators for investments in real estate and the Company’s value and projected gross proceeds of certain real estate assets. The complaint seeks compensatory damages in an unspecified amount to be proven at trial, an award of reasonable costs and expenses to the plaintiff and class counsel, and such other and further relief as the court may deem just and proper. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the allegations.

Dividends

 

On February 29, 2024, the Company’s Board of Trustees declared a preferred stock dividend of $0.4375 per each Series A Preferred Share. The preferred dividend was paid on April 15, 2024 to holders of record on March 29, 2024.

Strategic Review

At the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on October 24, 2022, Seritage shareholders approved the Company’s Plan of Sale. The strategic review process remains ongoing as the Company executes the Plan of Sale, and the Company remains open minded to pursuing value maximizing alternatives, including a potential sale of the Company. There can be no assurance regarding the success of the process.

Market Update

As the Company has previously disclosed, the Company, along with the commercial real estate market as a whole, has experienced and continues to experience challenging market conditions as a result of a variety of factors. These conditions have applied and continue to apply downward pricing pressure on all of our assets. In making decisions regarding whether and when to transact on each of the Company’s remaining assets, the Company has considered and will continue to consider various factors including, but not limited to, the breadth of the buyer universe, macroeconomic conditions, the availability and cost of financing, as well as corporate, operating and other capital expenses required to carry the asset. If these challenging market conditions persist, then we expect that they will impact the Plan of Sale proceeds from our assets and the amounts and timing of distributions to shareholders.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company makes references to NOI-cash basis and NOI-cash basis at share which are financial measures that include adjustments to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).

Neither of NOI-cash basis or NOI-cash basis at share are measures that (i) represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP; (ii) are indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs, including the ability to make distributions; (iii) are alternatives to cash flow as a measure of liquidity; or (iv) should be considered alternatives to net income (which is determined in accordance with GAAP) for purposes of evaluating the Company’s operating performance. Reconciliations of these measures to the respective GAAP measures the Company deems most comparable have been provided in the tables accompanying this press release.

Net Operating Income (Loss)-cash basis ("NOI-cash basis”) and Net Operating Income (Loss)-cash basis at share ("NOI-cash basis at share")

NOI-cash basis is defined as income from property operations less property operating expenses, adjusted for variable items such as termination fee income, as well as non-cash items such as straight-line rent and amortization of lease intangibles. Other real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating NOI-cash basis, and accordingly the Company’s depiction of NOI-cash basis may not be comparable to other real estate companies. The Company believes NOI-cash basis provides useful information regarding Seritage, its financial condition, and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level.

The Company also uses NOI-cash basis at share, which includes its proportional share of Unconsolidated Properties. The Company does not control any of the joint ventures constituting such properties and NOI-cash basis at share does not reflect our legal claim with respect to the economic activity of such joint ventures. We have included this adjustment because the Company believes this form of presentation offers insights into the financial performance and condition of the Company as a whole given the Company’s ownership of Unconsolidated Properties that are accounted for under GAAP using the equity method. The operating agreements of the Unconsolidated Properties generally allow each investor to receive cash distributions to the extent there is available cash from operations. The amount of cash each investor receives is based upon specific provisions of each operating agreement and varies depending on certain factors including the amount of capital contributed by each investor and whether any investors are entitled to preferential distributions.

The Company also considers NOI-cash basis and NOI-cash basis at share to be a helpful supplemental measure of its operating performance because it excludes from NOI variable items such as termination fee income, as well as non-cash items such as straight-line rent and amortization of lease intangibles.

Due to the adjustments noted, NOI-cash basis and NOI-cash basis at share should only be used as an alternative measure of the Company’s financial performance..

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” "will," "approximately," or "anticipates" or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases that are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and that do not relate solely to historical matters. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, which may cause actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: declines in retail, real estate and general economic conditions; risks relating to redevelopment activities; contingencies to the commencement of rent under leases; the terms of the Company’s indebtedness and other legal requirements to which the Company is subject; failure to achieve expected occupancy and/or rent levels within the projected time frame or at all; the impact of ongoing negative operating cash flow on the Company’s ability to fund operations and ongoing development; the Company’s ability to access or obtain sufficient sources of financing to fund the Company’s liquidity needs; environmental, health, safety and land use laws and regulations; and possible acts of war, terrorist activity or other acts of violence or cybersecurity incidents. For additional discussion of these and other applicable risks, assumptions and uncertainties, see the “Risk Factors” and forward-looking statement disclosure contained in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and any subsequent Form 10-Qs. While the Company believes that its forecasts and assumptions are reasonable, the Company cautions that actual results may differ materially. The Company intends the forward-looking statements to speak only as of the time made and do not undertake to update or revise them as more information becomes available, except as required by law.

About Seritage Growth Properties

Prior to the adoption of the Company’s Plan of Sale (defined below), Seritage was principally engaged in the ownership, development, redevelopment, disposition, management and leasing of diversified retail and mixed-use properties throughout the United States. Seritage will continue to actively manage each remaining location until such time as each property is sold. As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s portfolio consisted of interests in 22 properties comprised of approximately 2.8 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”) or build-to-suit leased area, and 352 acres of land. The portfolio consists of approximately 1.6 million square feet of GLA and 218 acres held by 13 consolidated properties (such properties, the “Consolidated Properties”) and 1.2 million square feet of GLA and 134 acres held by nine unconsolidated properties (such properties, the “Unconsolidated Properties”).
