“We closed 2023 adding another year of exceptional performance,” said Hamid Moghadam, co-founder and CEO, in a news release issued Wednesday before the market opened. “While uncertainties remain in the economic and geopolitical environment, we are positive about the outlook for 2024.”
The company’s full-year core FFO guidance of $5.42 to $5.56 per share bracketed the consensus estimate of $5.52 at the time of the print. Excluding net promote, the company’s outlook is $5.50 to $5.64 per share, or 9% higher y/y at the midpoint of the range.
During the fourth quarter, occupancy of 97.1% was flat with the third quarter but 90 basis points lower y/y. The company commenced leases representing 43.7 million square feet of space in the period, a 2.8% increase from the year-ago quarter. Net effective rent change (over the entire lease term) was 74.1%.
The company will host a call Wednesday at noon EST to discuss fourth-quarter results.
