COPT Defense Properties (“COPT Defense” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CDP) announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Management Comments
Stephen E. Budorick, COPT Defense’s President & Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our Defense/IT investment strategy, which concentrates our portfolio near priority U.S. defense installations, continued to generate strong results during the third quarter. FFO per share exceeded the midpoint of our guidance range and based on this outperformance, and our forecast for the remainder of the year, we increased the midpoint of 2024 FFO per share guidance by $0.01 to $2.57, which implies over 6% year-over-year growth. This marks our third increase for the year and a total of $0.06 of outperformance compared to the midpoint of our initial guidance. Looking forward, we continue to anticipate compound annual FFO per share growth of at least 4% between 2023 and 2026.
We are exceeding our plan in several areas and raised 2024 guidance on a group of key metrics. We increased the midpoint of 2024 guidance for same property cash NOI growth by 50 basis points to 8.5%, and increased tenant retention by 250 basis points to 85%. Based on our updated guidance, same property cash NOI growth would be the highest level in over a decade, and tenant retention would be the highest level in over two decades.
We are especially excited to announce the acquisition of a 365-acre land parcel near Des Moines, Iowa, which is a significant opportunity for us to expand our data center shell program to a new market. Des Moines, the 5th largest hyperscale market in the country, is home to several of the largest hyperscalers, which are drawn to the market given attractive land values, power availability with abundant access to renewable energy and long-haul fiber lines, and tax incentives enacted by supportive state and local governments. We expect this investment to fuel our development pipeline in the medium to long-term, and result in long-term accretion to FFO, AFFO, and NAV per share. As we build out the parcel in phases, we plan to self-fund development of the site on a leverage-neutral basis.
Additionally, we acquired a vacant office property in San Antonio, then subsequently leased the full building to the U.S. Government. With this transaction, our U.S. Government portfolio, which now includes 35 fully leased buildings and on a pro forma basis as of September 30, 2024, accounts for 36.5% of our annualized rental revenue. This acquisition provides additional operational scale given our nearby campus in San Antonio, will be accretive when rent commences in 2Q25, and reinforces our reputation as a trusted partner in supporting mission critical U.S. Government and defense contractor tenant requirements.”
