Forward guidance

Guidance for 2020 has been updated to reflect our current view of existing market conditions and assumptions for the year ending December 31, 2020, including the estimated impact stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial and operating results.

Tailwinds

  • Projected reduction in funds from operations, per share – diluted, as adjusted, primarily consisting of a reduction of eight cents, or one percent, in projected revenues from our retail tenancy and transient/short-term parking over the remaining three quarters of 2020
  • Reduction is expected to be weighted toward 2Q20 (as of March 31, 2020, only 0.8% of our annual rental revenue was related to retail tenants)
  • Approximately net neutral impact related to higher interest costs related to the issuance of our $700.0 million unsecured senior notes payable in March 2020
  • Approximately net neutral impact updated timing of deliveries of our current development and redevelopment projects as a result COVID-19-related construction disruptions, including various executive orders restricting construction activities
  • offset by an improvement in EBITDA from our core operations, including early lease renewals and re-leasing of space

Headwinds

  • Reduction in our forecasted remaining required sources of capital from real estate dispositions, partial interest sales, and common equity from $925 million to zero dollars
  • Reduction in construction by an aggregate $940 million at the midpoints of each respective guidance range
  • Reduction in acquisitions by an aggregate $940 million at the midpoints of each respective guidance range
  • There can be no assurance that actual amounts will not be materially higher or lower than these expectations.
  • Construction disruptions resulting from COVID-19 and various executive orders restricting construction activities may further impact construction and occupancy forecast
