Risks management discussed

  • Demand: Management cited a challenging operating environment, with same-store revenue flat for the quarter and nine months. Source
  • Operational: Same-store operating expenses rose 5.8% in the quarter, with marketing and insurance growing faster than revenue; nine-month property taxes rose 11.6%. Source
  • Financial: About 16.2% of total debt was not fixed-rate at quarter end, so borrowing costs on that portion can move with rates. Source
  • Financial: Held-for-sale properties are carried at fair value less selling costs, which drives losses on those assets when values change. Source
  • Operational: Pending developments and acquisitions are subject to closing conditions, and management gives no assurance they will close on the stated terms. Source

Earlier plans management reported on

  • Not stated: The prior release said guidance was held at midpoints; the current release changes several ranges.
  • Not stated: Management said its external growth initiatives remained active during the quarter, in the areas of management platform additions, bridge loans and acquisitions. Source
