Forward Guidance
The press release contains forward-looking statements, and the company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Positive Outlook
- Expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions
- Actively engaged in rent collection efforts related to uncollected rent
- Continue to work with certain tenants who have requested rent deferrals
- Over 85% of the Saul Centers' property operating income is generated by properties in the metropolitan Washington, DC/Baltimore area.
- Management considers FFO a meaningful supplemental measure of operating performance because it primarily excludes the assumption that the value of the real estate assets diminishes predictably over time (i.e. depreciation), which is contrary to what the Company believes occurs with its assets, and because industry analysts have accepted it as a performance measure.
Challenges Ahead
- General adverse economic and local real estate conditions
- The inability of major tenants to continue paying their rent obligations due to bankruptcy, insolvency or a general downturn in their business
- Financing risks, such as the inability to obtain equity, debt or other sources of financing or refinancing on favorable terms to the Company
- Changes in governmental laws and regulations and management’s ability to estimate the impact of such changes
- An epidemic or pandemic (such as the outbreak and worldwide spread of COVID-19)
