SITE Centers Corp. (NYSE: SITC), an owner of open-air shopping
centers primarily in suburban, high household income communities,
announced today operating results for the quarter ended September
30, 2024.
"SITE Centers completed the planned spin-off of Curbline
Properties on October 1, unlocking a unique and scalable
opportunity focused on convenience real estate and providing
investors with two distinct business plans,” commented David R.
Lukes, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Following the
disposition of 25 properties during the third quarter for an
aggregate price of $1.4 billion, the Company has completed the sale
of substantially all of the properties that had been in its active
disposition pipeline prior to the spin-off. Going forward, SITE
Centers intends to maximize value through continued leasing, asset
management and potential additional asset sales.”
Results for the Third Quarter
- Third quarter net income attributable to common shareholders
was $320.2 million, or $6.07 per diluted share, as compared to net
income of $45.9 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, in the
year-ago period. The increase year-over-year primarily was the
result of higher gain on sale from dispositions and interest income
partially offset by the impact of lower property Net Operating
Income (“NOI") as a result of net property dispositions, debt
extinguishment costs including the write-off of fees related to the
original mortgage facility commitment and Curbline Properties Corp.
("Curbline" or "CURB") transaction costs.
- Third quarter operating funds from operations attributable to
common shareholders (“Operating FFO” or “OFFO”) was $42.8 million,
or $0.81 per diluted share, compared to $69.9 million, or $1.33 per
diluted share, in the year-ago period. The decrease year-over-year
primarily was due to the impact of lower property NOI as a result
of net property dispositions, partially offset by higher interest
income.
Significant Third Quarter and Recent Activity
- Sold 25 shopping centers during the third quarter for an
aggregate price of $1.4 billion.
- Acquired seven convenience shopping centers during the third
quarter for an aggregate price of $145.3 million. All of these
properties were included in the Curbline spin-off.
- During the quarter, redeemed all remaining outstanding senior
unsecured notes due in 2025, 2026 and 2027 for total cash
consideration, including expenses, of $1.2 billion and recorded
debt extinguishment costs of approximately $6.7 million. The 2027
notes were partially hedged and, in August 2024, the related
swaption agreements, which did not qualify for hedge accounting,
were terminated and the Company received a cash payment of $1.3
million.
- In August 2024, repaid the $200.0 million term loan and
terminated the revolving credit facility which had no balance
outstanding and recorded $4.8 million of aggregate debt
extinguishment costs. The term loan was hedged with an interest
rate swap which was also terminated in August 2024 and the Company
received a cash payment of $6.8 million.
- In August 2024, the Company closed and funded a $530.0 million
mortgage facility secured by 23 properties. At September 30, 2024,
the outstanding principal balance on the mortgage facility was
$206.9 million secured by 13 properties. The Company recorded debt
extinguishment costs of $10.1 million in the three months ended
September 30, 2024 due to disposition-related repayments.
Additionally, the Company wrote off $10.9 million in fees in the
third quarter relating to the termination of the original $1.1
billion mortgage facility commitment obtained in October 2023.
- On August 19, 2024, the Company’s common shares began trading
on a split-adjusted basis (one-for-four) on the NYSE at the opening
of trading. All prior year common share and earnings per share
amounts have been adjusted for comparability.
- On October 24, 2024, the Company provided notice of its intent
to redeem all of its outstanding 6.375% Class A Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Shares and the associated depositary
shares.
Curbline Properties
- On October 1, 2024, the previously announced spin-off of
Curbline was completed. At the time of spin-off, Curbline's
portfolio consisted of 79 properties and Curbline was capitalized
with $800.0 million of unrestricted cash and had no outstanding
indebtedness.
Key Quarterly Operating Results
- Reported a leased rate of 91.3% at September 30, 2024 compared
to 93.2% at June 30, 2024 and 94.6% at September 30, 2023, all on a
pro rata basis. The September 30, 2024 leased rate has been
adjusted to reflect the removal of all properties included in the
CURB spin-off.
Property NOI Projection
The Company projects, based on the assumptions below, 2024
property level NOI to be between $94.7 million and $96.9
million.
This projection:
- Calculates NOI pursuant to the definition of NOI as described
below, excludes NOI from all Curbline properties and all properties
sold prior to September 30, 2024 and assumes that all SITE Centers
properties owned as of September 30, 2024 are held for the full
year 2024,
- Includes the Company's share of joint venture NOI,
- Excludes from NOI G&A allocated to operating expenses which
totaled $2.1 million in 3Q2024, or $8.4 million annualized,
and
- Includes revenue from the Company's Beachwood, OH office
headquarters.

Supplemental Information
Copies of the Company's quarterly financial supplement are
available on the Investor Relations portion of the Company's
website, ir.sitecenter.com.
Non-GAAP Measures and Other Operational Metrics
Funds from Operations (“FFO”) is a supplemental non-GAAP
financial measure used as a standard in the real estate industry
and is a widely accepted measure of real estate investment trust
(“REIT”) performance. Management believes that both FFO and
Operating FFO provide additional indicators of the financial
performance of a REIT. The Company also believes that FFO and
Operating FFO more appropriately measure the core operations of the
Company and provide benchmarks to its peer group.
FFO is generally defined and calculated by the Company as net
income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States (“GAAP”)), adjusted to exclude (i)
preferred share dividends, (ii) gains and losses from disposition
of real estate property and related investments, which are
presented net of taxes, (iii) impairment charges on real estate
property and related investments, (iv) gains and losses from
changes in control and (v) certain non-cash items. These non-cash
items principally include real property depreciation and
amortization of intangibles, equity income (loss) from joint
ventures and equity income from non-controlling interests and
adding the Company’s proportionate share of FFO from its
unconsolidated joint ventures and non-controlling interests,
determined on a consistent basis. The Company’s calculation of FFO
is consistent with the definition of FFO provided by NAREIT. The
Company calculates Operating FFO as FFO excluding certain
non-operating charges, income and gains/losses. Operating FFO is
useful to investors as the Company removes non-comparable charges,
income and gains/losses to analyze the results of its operations
and assess performance of the core operating real estate portfolio.
Other real estate companies may calculate FFO and Operating FFO in
a different manner.
The Company also uses NOI, a non-GAAP financial measure, as a
supplemental performance measure. NOI is calculated as property
revenues less property-related expenses. The Company believes NOI
provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s
financial condition and results of operations because it reflects
only those income and expense items that are incurred at the
property level and, when compared across periods, reflects the
impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates,
operating costs and acquisition and disposition activity on an
unleveraged basis.
FFO, Operating FFO and NOI do not represent cash generated from
operating activities in accordance with GAAP, are not necessarily
indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be
considered as alternatives to net income computed in accordance
with GAAP, as indicators of the Company’s operating performance or
as alternatives to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.
Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly
comparable GAAP measures have been provided herein. In reliance on
the exception provided by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K,
reconciliation of the projected NOI to the most directly comparable
GAAP financial measure is not provided because the Company is
unable to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable effort
due to the multiple components of the calculation.
