Kimco Realty® Announces First Quarter 2023 Results

– Strong Leasing Volume Drives Growth in Occupancy and Leasing Spreads –

– Lowers Leverage with Ongoing Monetization of Albertsons Investment –

– Board Declares Quarterly Dividend –

– Updates 2023 Outlook –

Kimco Realty® (NYSE: KIM), North America’s largest publicly traded owner and operator of open-air, grocery-anchored shopping centers, including mixed-use assets, today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, Kimco Realty’s net income available to the company’s common shareholders was $0.46 per diluted share and $0.37 per diluted share, respectively.

First Quarter Highlights

  • Reported Funds From Operations* (FFO) of $0.39 per diluted share.
  • Leased a total of 4.5 million square feet including 3.7 million square feet of renewals and option exercises.
  • Increased pro-rata portfolio occupancy 110 basis points year-over-year to 95.8%.
  • Grew small shop occupancy 70 basis points sequentially to 90.7%.
  • Generated pro-rata cash rent spreads of 44.0% for new leases on comparable spaces, representing the highest new lease spread in the past five years.
  • Produced 1.4% growth in Same-Property Net Operating Income* (NOI) over the same period a year ago.
  • Received a $194.1 million special dividend from Albertsons Companies (NYSE: ACI) related to the 28.3 million shares the company held.
  • Generated $137.4 million in proceeds on the sale of 7.1 million shares of ACI.
  • Subsequent to quarter end, received $144.9 million in net proceeds on sale of 7.0 million shares of ACI.

*Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are provided in the tables accompanying this press release.

“Our team continues to drive strong leasing performance, with the 4.5 million square feet leased this quarter further validating the demand for our well-located, high-quality portfolio of open-air, grocery-anchored shopping centers in the most coveted locations across the country,” stated Kimco CEO Conor Flynn. “Furthermore, we could not be more excited about our ability to extract meaningful value from our long-term investment in Albertsons. The combination of strong cash flow from our operating portfolio and the cash coming from the monetization of Albertsons has resulted in further reduction in leverage levels to support future growth opportunities. With our first-ring suburban portfolio surrounding the top major metropolitan markets, we are well-equipped to keep driving value for our stockholders.”

Financial Results

Net income available to the company’s common shareholders for the first quarter of 2023 was $283.5 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, compared to $230.9 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2022. The year-over-year change is primarily attributable to a $194.1 million ACI special dividend. This was offset by a $131.9 million mark-to-market reduction on marketable securities, primarily stemming from a change in the value of ACI common stock held by the company, as well as a $31.0 million increase in provision for income taxes, net, primarily due to the capital gains from the monetization of 7.1 million shares of ACI during the first quarter of 2023. Other items impacting the year-over-year change included $23.5 million in higher gains on sale of consolidated properties, net of impairments, during the first quarter of 2023.

FFO was $238.1 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $240.6 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the first quarter 2022. The company excludes from FFO all gains and losses, whether realized or unrealized, related to its investment in ACI, as well as gains and losses from the sale of operating properties, real estate-related depreciation, and profit participations from other investments. Special dividends are also excluded from FFO.

Operating Results

  • Signed 600 leases totaling 4.5 million square feet, generating blended pro-rata rent spreads on comparable spaces of 10.3%, with pro-rata rental rates for new leases up 44.0% and renewals and options growing 7.7%.
  • Reported a 280-basis-point spread between leased (reported) occupancy versus economic occupancy at the end of the first quarter, representing approximately $46 million in annual base rent.
  • Pro-rata portfolio occupancy rose 10 basis points sequentially and 110 basis points year over year to 95.8%.
  • Ended the quarter with pro-rata anchor occupancy of 97.8% and small shop occupancy of 90.7%, representing year-over-year increases of 50 basis points and 230 basis points, respectively.
  • Produced 1.4% growth in Same-Property NOI over the same period a year ago, driven by a 4.3% increase in minimum rent.

Investment Activities

  • Acquired the remaining 85% interest in three California grocery-anchored shopping centers for a combined $127.5 million. In addition, the company acquired two improved, adjacent parcels at existing shopping centers for a combined purchase price of $14.6 million.
  • Sold three power centers and two land parcels totaling 592,000 square feet for $98.9 million during the first quarter. The company’s pro-rata share of the sales price was $96.9 million.
  • Made an $11.2 million subordinate loan on a grocery-anchored shopping center in Orlando, Florida under the company’s structured investment program.

Capital Market Activities

  • Entered into a new $2.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility with an initial maturity date of March 17, 2027 with two additional six-month extension options. The new “green” facility is priced at Adjusted SOFR plus 77.5 basis points with the ability to increase or decrease the spread by four basis points based on our success in reducing scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions.
  • As previously announced, Kimco received a $194.1 million special dividend payment from ACI. As a result, the company anticipates it may need to make a special dividend payment to maintain its compliance with REIT distribution requirements. If the company determines to declare a special dividend, the payment may be in the form of cash, common stock or some combination thereof.
  • Sold 7.1 million shares of ACI common stock during the first quarter resulting in $137.4 million in net proceeds. In order to maximize the level of proceeds for general corporate purposes, the company recorded a $30.0 million provision for income taxes.
  • Subsequent to quarter end, Kimco sold an additional 7.0 million shares of ACI common stock resulting in net proceeds of $144.9 million. The company will record a $32.7 million provision for income taxes during the second quarter of 2023.
  • As of April 27, 2023, Kimco held 14.2 million shares of ACI common stock valued at approximately $300 million.
  • Ended the first quarter with over $2.3 billion of immediate liquidity, including full availability of the company’s $2.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and $329.2 million of cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet.

Dividend Declarations

  • Kimco’s board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.23 per common share, representing a 15% increase over the quarterly dividend in the corresponding period of the prior year. The quarterly cash dividend on common shares is payable on June 22, 2023 to shareholders of record on June 8, 2023.
  • The board of directors also declared quarterly dividends with respect to each of the company’s Class L and Class M series of cumulative redeemable preferred shares. These dividends on the preferred shares will be paid on July 17, 2023 to shareholders of record on July 3, 2023.

2023 Full Year Outlook

The company has revised its assumption for lease termination income for the full year to $4 million to $6 million from the previous level of $14 million to $16 million. All other assumptions for 2023 provided with the company’s fourth quarter 2022 earnings results remain the same.

Based on the actual results of the first quarter, including gains, net of impairments and other charges impacting net income available to the company’s common shareholders, the change in assumption for lease termination income, and outlook for the remainder of 2023, the company has updated its full-year guidance ranges as follows:

Comparison of the company's presentation of FFO to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the application of the NAREIT definition used by such REITs

(1)

The company considers same property NOI as an important operating performance measure because it is frequently used by securities analysts and investors to measure only the net operating income of properties that have been owned by the company for the entire current and prior year reporting periods. It excludes properties under redevelopment, development and pending stabilization; properties are deemed stabilized at the earlier of (i) reaching 90% leased or (ii) one year following a project’s inclusion in operating real estate. Same property NOI assists in eliminating disparities in net income due to the development, acquisition or disposition of properties during the particular period presented, and thus provides a more consistent performance measure for the comparison of the company's properties. The company’s method of calculating Same property NOI may differ from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.
