Simon Property Group Reports First Quarter 2021 Results And Raises Full Year 2021 Guidance
INDIANAPOLIS, May 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Simon, a global leader in the ownership of premier shopping, dining, entertainment and mixed-use destinations, today reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
"We are very pleased with our first quarter results," said David Simon, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. "Our business has substantially improved after addressing the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic including significantly restrictive governmental orders as evidenced by our improved profitability and cash flow growth, increasing shopper traffic, increasing retailer sales, and leasing momentum across our portfolio. We are also seeing similar results in the Taubman Realty Group portfolio and are encouraged by our collective progress in increasing its profitability. Today we are increasing our full-year 2021 guidance."
Results for the Quarter
- Net income attributable to common stockholders was $445.9 million, or $1.36 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
- Funds From Operations ("FFO") was $934.0 million, or $2.48 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
- Domestic and international properties net operating income ("NOI"), combined, declined 8.4% compared to the prior year period as a direct result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Portfolio NOI, which includes NOI from domestic properties, international properties and NOI from the Company's investment in Taubman Realty Group ("TRG"), increased 4.0% compared to the prior year period.
U.S. Malls and Premium Outlets Operating Statistics
- Occupancy was 90.8% at March 31, 2021.
- Base minimum rent per square foot was $56.07 at March 31, 2021, an increase of 0.6% year-over-year.
Development Activity
West Midlands Designer Outlet opened on April 12, 2021, upon the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions which delayed the center's initial planned opening. The center includes 197,000 square feet of high-quality, name brand stores providing shoppers in the United Kingdom with one of the finest open-air retail and leisure experiences. Simon owns a 23% interest in this center.
Construction continues on redevelopments including Northshore Mall (Boston, MA), West Town Mall (Knoxville, TN), Burlington Mall (Boston, MA) and Tacoma Mall (Tacoma, WA). These redevelopments, scheduled to be completed in 2021, will significantly benefit the communities in which they operate.
Progress continues on transformative mixed-use redevelopments of Northgate (Seattle, WA) and Phipps Plaza (Atlanta, GA). The transformation of Northgate will feature the National Hockey League's Seattle Kraken corporate offices and practice and training facility. This first phase of the Northgate transformation is scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2021. The dynamic redevelopment at Phipps Plaza is headlined by a Nobu Hotel and Restaurant, Citizens food hall, Life Time athletic club and Life Time Work. These additions are scheduled to open in 2022.
Capital Markets and Balance Sheet Liquidity
The Company has been active in both the unsecured and secured credit markets.
During the quarter, the Company completed a two tranche senior notes offering totaling $1.5 billion. Combined, the two new issues of senior notes had a weighted average term of 8.4 years and a weighted average coupon rate of 1.96%.
The Company, through one of its subsidiaries, also completed a Euro senior notes offering totaling €750 million with a 1.125% coupon rate and term of 12 years.
Net proceeds from the offerings were used to fund the optional redemption of the Company's $550 million aggregate principal amount of 2.50% notes due July 2021 and fully repay the $2.0 billion unsecured delayed-draw term loan facility.
The Company closed six non-recourse mortgage loans totaling approximately $1.3 billion (U.S. dollar equivalent), of which Simon's share is $589 million. The weighted average interest rate on these loans is 3.36%.
As of March 31, 2021, Simon had more than $8.4 billion of liquidity consisting of $1.5 billion of cash on hand, including its share of joint venture cash, and $6.9 billion of available capacity under its revolving credit facilities, net of $500 million outstanding under its U.S. commercial paper program.
Dividends
The Company paid its first quarter 2021 common stock dividend of $1.30 per share, in cash, on April 23, 2021. Simon's Board of Directors will declare a common stock cash dividend for the second quarter of 2021 on or before June 30, 2021.
Simon's Board of Directors declared the quarterly dividend on its 8 3/8% Series J Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (NYSE: SPGPrJ) of $1.046875 per share, payable on June 30, 2021 to shareholders of record on June 16, 2021.
2021 Guidance
The Company currently estimates net income to be within a range of $4.47 to $4.57 per diluted share and FFO will be within a range of $9.70 to $9.80 per diluted share for the year ending December 31, 2021. The FFO per diluted share range is an increase from the $9.50 to $9.75 per diluted share range provided on February 8, 2021, or an increase of $0.13 per diluted share at the mid-point.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes FFO, FFO per share and portfolio Net Operating Income growth which are financial performance measures not defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in this press release and in Simon's supplemental information for the quarter.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements made in this press release may be deemed "forward–looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in any forward–looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, the Company can give no assurance that its expectations will be attained, and it is possible that the Company's actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward–looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors. Such factors include, but are not limited to: uncertainties regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental restrictions intended to prevent its spread on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and liquidity and our ability to access the capital markets, satisfy our debt service obligations and make distributions to our stockholders; changes in economic and market conditions that may adversely affect the general retail environment; the potential loss of anchor stores or major tenants; the inability to collect rent due to the bankruptcy or insolvency of tenants or otherwise; the intensely competitive market environment in the retail industry, including e-commerce; an increase in vacant space at our properties; the inability to lease newly developed properties and renew leases and relet space at existing properties on favorable terms; our international activities subjecting us to risks that are different from or greater than those associated with our domestic operations, including changes in foreign exchange rates; risks associated with the acquisition, development, redevelopment, expansion, leasing and management of properties; general risks related to real estate investments, including the illiquidity of real estate investments; the impact of our substantial indebtedness on our future operations, including covenants in the governing agreements that impose restrictions on us that may affect our ability to operate freely; any disruption in the financial markets that may adversely affect our ability to access capital for growth and satisfy our ongoing debt service requirements; any change in our credit rating; changes in market rates of interest; the transition of LIBOR to an alternative reference rate; our continued ability to maintain our status as a REIT; changes in tax laws or regulations that result in adverse tax consequences; risks relating to our joint venture properties, including guarantees of certain joint venture indebtedness; environmental liabilities; natural disasters; the availability of comprehensive insurance coverage; the potential for terrorist activities; security breaches that could compromise our information technology or infrastructure; and the loss of key management personnel. The Company discusses these and other risks and uncertainties under the heading "Risk Factors" in its annual and quarterly periodic reports filed with the SEC. The Company may update that discussion in subsequent other periodic reports, but except as required by law, the Company undertakes no duty or obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise.

Footnotes to Unaudited Financial Information | ||||||||||||
Notes: | ||||||||||||
(A) | Excess investment represents the unamortized difference of our investment over equity in the underlying net assets of the related partnerships and joint ventures shown therein. The Company generally amortizes excess investment over the life of the related assets. | |||||||||||
(B) | The Unaudited Joint Venture Combined Statements of Operations do not include any operations or our share of net income or excess investment amortization related to our investments in Klépierre and TRG. Amounts included in Footnote D below exclude our share of related activity for our investments in Klépierre and TRG. For further information on Klépierre, reference should be made to financial information in Klépierre's public filings and additional discussion and analysis in our Form 10-K. | |||||||||||
(C) | This report contains measures of financial or operating performance that are not specifically defined by GAAP, including FFO and FFO per share. FFO is a performance measure that is standard in the REIT business. We believe FFO provides investors with additional information concerning our operating performance and a basis to compare our performance with those of other REITs. We also use these measures internally to monitor the operating performance of our portfolio. Our computation of these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures reported by other REITs. | |||||||||||
We determine FFO based upon the definition set forth by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") Funds From Operations White Paper - 2018 Restatement. Our main business includes acquiring, owning, operating, developing, and redeveloping real estate in conjunction with the rental of real estate. Gains and losses of assets incidental to our main business are included in FFO. We determine FFO to be our share of consolidated net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization, excluding gains and losses from extraordinary items, excluding gains and losses from the sale, disposal or property insurance recoveries of, or any impairment related to, depreciable retail operating properties, plus the allocable portion of FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures based upon economic ownership interest, and all determined on a consistent basis in accordance with GAAP. However, you should understand that FFO does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of operating performance, and is not an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. | ||||||||||||
(D) | Includes our share of: | |||||||||||
- | Gains on land sales of $0.7 million and $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. | |||||||||||
- | Straight-line adjustments (decreased) increased income by ($9.1) million and $12.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. | |||||||||||
- | Amortization of fair market value of leases from acquisitions (decreased) increased income by ($0.2) million and $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. | |||||||||||
