Forward Guidance
Due to uncertainty driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is withdrawing its previous 2020 earnings guidance. However, the Company is providing additional financial information, some of which is related to the effects of COVID-19 and some of which is not, to assist investors as they assess the Company’s outlook for the balance of 2020.
Positive Outlook
- An elimination of all remaining speculative leasing commencements for the balance of the year may reduce net operating income by approximately $1.5 million.
- Rent deferrals may reduce net operating income by $1 million to $3 million.
- A reduction in parking revenue may reduce net operating income by $3.5 million to $9.5 million.
- General and administrative expenses may decrease by $3 million to $5 million due to lower long-term compensation and other potential non-compensation cost reduction measures.
- Interest and other expense, net of capitalized interest, may decrease by $2 million to $4 million primarily due to lower short-term interest rates.
Challenges Ahead
- Elimination of speculative leasing may reduce NOI by $1.5 million
- Rent deferrals may reduce NOI by $1-3 million
