Forward Guidance
Regency Centers offered initial 2021 guidance concurrently with the fourth quarter 2020 earnings release.
Positive Outlook
- The midpoint area of our range is based on a “status quo” scenario, which assumes a continuation of our fourth quarter 2020 same-property NOI and collection rates.
- The higher end of our range is based on a “continued improvement” scenario, which assumes further lifting of restrictions and added federal stimulus, leading to increases in collection rates.
Challenges Ahead
- While we are gratified to return to more customary guidance practices as transparency remains a key tenet of our values, we believe a wide range of potential outcomes is prudent given the uncertainty that remains in our operating environment
- The potential outcomes can best be described as three independent scenarios, which each could result in different and distinct impacts to the Net Operating Income.
- The lower end of our guidance range is based on a “reverse course” scenario, which assumes more shutdowns and increased restrictions, leading to a decline in rent collection rates.
