Forward Guidance
OPI looks forward to continuing to execute on its business plan in 2020, with a focus now on capital recycling and disciplined acquisitions to shape its portfolio and potentially growing its cash available for distribution to shareholders.
Positive Outlook
- OPI will continue to be able to improve its results of operations and financial condition.
- OPI's leverage will remain below or within its targeted leverage range
- OPI will acquire properties in the future.
- OPI's leasing activity will remain strong
- The occupancies at its properties may increase.
Challenges Ahead
- OPI’s business plan may not succeed or produce the results OPI expects and, as a result, OPI may not be able to grow its cash available for distribution
- OPI may seek to obtain additional debt financing in the future. As a result, OPI may not maintain its reduced leverage and its leverage may increase above its targeted leverage range in the future.
- OPI's ability to acquire properties is dependent in large part on when such properties become available for acquisition, its ability to successfully negotiate and compete for acquisitions, and its availability of capital to fund acquisitions. As a result, OPI may not be able to acquire properties in the future.
- OPI may not realize positive leasing activity in future periods
- OPI's property occupancy may not increase and could decline
