CapyFin.com Forward Guidance
The company's full-year 2025 guidance remains strong, with expectations for continued growth in MPC EBT and Operating Assets NOI, driven by solid demand for new homes, increased occupancy in multifamily, and strong leasing momentum in office properties. Condo sales revenues are projected to be significant, primarily from the Ulana development.
Positive Outlook
- MPC EBT is projected to be strong in 2025, with a mid-point of approximately $375 million, driven by solid demand for new homes and low inventories of vacant developed lots.
- Operating Assets NOI is expected to be flat to up 4% year-over-year, with a mid-point of approximately $262 million, benefiting from continued growth in multifamily and improved office performance.
- Condo sales revenues are projected to be approximately $375 million in 2025, primarily from the closing of units at Ulana, which is 100% pre-sold.
- Adjusted Operating Cash Flow is projected to range between $325 million and $375 million in 2025, with a mid-point of approximately $350 million or $7.00 per share.
- The second and third quarters are likely to see a higher concentration of superpad sales in Summerlin, contributing to MPC EBT.
Challenges Ahead
- Retail NOI is expected to see a modest reduction in 2025, primarily due to non-recurring collections of tenant reserves in Ward Village during 2024.
- Some tenant turnover resulting from tenant upgrades in Downtown Summerlin as this property reaches its 10-year anniversary may impact retail NOI.
- Operating Assets NOI improvement will likely be partially offset by lower occupancy at various office properties in Downtown Columbia.
- Initial operating losses from newest developments may partially offset Operating Assets NOI improvement.
- The company does not expect to recognize any gross profit from the Ulana project, as it is a workforce housing tower.
