- $1.6 Billion of Liquidity, No Outstanding Debt Maturity Through 2024 -

New York, New York, February 17, 2021 - Empire State Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: ESRT) (the “Company”), a real estate investment trust with office and retail properties in Manhattan and the greater New York metropolitan area, today reported its operational and financial results for the fourth quarter of 2020.

“We took actions during the year to allow employee and tenant reentry with confidence to our buildings, collected rents, managed operating and capital expenses, promoted Empire State Building Observatory visits, supported our smaller retail tenants, and protected and fortified our balance sheet. Visits to the Observatory continue to grow gradually off a low base, despite interstate and international travel restrictions. We find ourselves in 2021 well-positioned with a long runway, a fully staffed investment team with a balance sheet that allows us the choice to expand our portfolio, and a more focused and improved team,” stated Anthony E. Malkin, Empire State Realty Trust’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “In 2020 we made great improvements to our disclosure. In our first year of GRESB participation, ESRT earned the highest possible 5 Star Rating and Green Star recognition, and a score of 88, in the 2020 GRESB Real Estate Assessment, an achievement that places ESRT in the top 20% of all respondents. Additionally, ESRT achieved Fitwel Champion certification for 83% of our Manhattan portfolio. We are the first portfolio in the Americas to receive the WELL Health-Safety rating, and 76% of our portfolio by square feet is Energy Star certified. Our goal is to provide tenants with energy efficient, healthy environments that provide them with a landlord who helps them meet their own ESG goals and therefore increases the desirability of our portfolio.”

Same-Store Property Cash NOI excluding lease termination fees was up 1.5% from the fourth quarter of 2019 primarily driven by lower property operating expenses, partially offset by lower revenue compared to the prior year period driven by previously communicated large known move-outs.

 

   

Realized lease termination fees were $7.8 million, or approximately $0.03 per fully diluted share. This fee income was partially offset by the write off of $1.9 million of unamortized lease incentives associated with terminated leases, or approximately $0.01 per fully diluted share. In keeping with historical practice, the Company includes lease termination fees when calculating FFO and Core FFO.

 

   

Signed 33 new, renewal, and expansion leases, representing 413,356 rentable square feet.

 

   

Collected 95% of fourth quarter 2020 total billings with 96% for office tenants and 87% for retail tenants.

 

   

Strong liquidity position of $1.6 billion as of December 31, 2020, which consists of $527 million of cash plus an additional $1.1 billion of undrawn capacity under the Company’s revolving credit facility, which matures in August 2021 and has two six-month extension options subject to certain conditions. Moreover, the Company has no outstanding debt maturity until 2024.

 

   

Closed on a $180 million 10-year interest-only mortgage loan with a fixed rate of 2.83% for 250 West 57th Street to bolster the Company’s liquidity and balance sheet flexibility.

 

   

Earned the highest possible GRESB 5 Star Rating and Green Star recognition, and a score of 88, in the 2020 GRESB Real Estate Assessment, an achievement that places ESRT in the top 20% of all respondents in our first year of GRESB participation.

 

   

Achieved Fitwel Champion status with 83% of the Company’s Manhattan portfolio awarded Fitwel certification, a rigorous third-party healthy building certification system that supports healthier workplace environments to help improve occupant health and productivity..

 

   

As of January 2021, 100% of the Company’s portfolio is powered by renewable wind energy.

 

   

In the fourth quarter and through February 16, 2021, the Company repurchased $25.3 million of its common stock at a weighted average price of $7.32 per share. This brings the cumulative total, since the stock repurchase program began on March 5, 2020 through February 16, 2021, to $147.2 million at a weighted average price of $8.34 per share.

 

   

Announced the approval of a new share repurchase program of up to $500 million during the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021.

Delivered on the previously communicated 2020 G&A goal of $60 million, excluding one-time severance charges.

 

   

Reduced property operating expenses by $39 million compared to full year 2019, driven by reduced building utilization and the Company’s cost reduction initiatives.

 

   

Reopened the Empire State Building 86th floor observation deck on July 20, 2020 and the 102nd observation deck on August 24, 2020, as one of the earliest tourist attractions in New York City following earlier pandemic driven closure.

Significant Leases Executed During Fourth Quarter 2020

 

   

As previously disclosed, at the Empire State Building, the Company signed a new office lease with Centric Brands for approximately 212,000 square feet for a term of 7.9 years. The Company recaptured such space from Global Brands Group which had subleased it to Centric, so Centric remains in place, now with a direct lease. While the leasing spread was (15%) based on initial face rent, this transaction was approximately neutral on a cash flow basis, inclusive of all related transaction costs and related lease termination fee.

 

   

At 111 West 33rd Street, the Company signed a new office lease with ClearView Healthcare Partners for approximately 39,100 square feet for a term of 11.0 years. ClearView had previously occupied approximately 10,500 square feet at the property.

At 1400 Broadway, the Company signed a new office lease with Transit Wireless for approximately 32,500 square feet for a term of 11.0 years. Transit Wireless relocated from 1350 Broadway, where it had previously occupied approximately 24,500 square feet on sublease.

 

   

At One Grand Central Place, the Company signed a new office lease with Dime Community Bank for approximately 19,400 square feet for a term of 10.7 years. Dime had previously occupied approximately 3,600 square feet at the property.

Observatory Results

Observatory revenue for January and February 2020 increased 13.2% year-over-year, after adjusting for the 102nd floor observation deck, which was closed for redevelopment in the first quarter 2019 and re-opened in the fourth quarter 2019. In compliance with the requirements of authorities, the Company closed the Observatory on March 16, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and it remained closed until the 86th floor observation deck was reopened on July 20, 2020. The 102nd observation deck was reopened on August 24, 2020. Against the backdrop of international, and interstate travel restrictions, quarantines and a nationwide pandemic surge, the Observatory has seen steady, gradual weekly increases in visitors.

The Observatory hosted approximately 55,000 visitors in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to 30,000 visitors in the third quarter of 2020 and visitors of 894,000 in the fourth quarter of 2019. Year-to-date in 2021 through February 14th, attendance was at nearly 9% of 2019 comparable period attendance. As a reminder, the first quarter is historically the seasonally lightest quarter for the Observatory due to the winter weather conditions. The Company remains confident attendance will return to pre COVID-19 levels, though that will take time and is not anticipated to occur in 2021.

Observatory revenue for the fourth quarter 2020 was $5.0 million, driven by low visitation levels. Observatory revenue included $1.3 million of deferred revenue from unused tickets, as well as $1.5 million of fixed license fee for the gift shop. Observatory expenses were $5.6 million in the fourth quarter 2020.

Balance Sheet

The Company has $1.6 billion of total liquidity as of December 31, 2020, which is comprised of $527 million of cash, plus an additional $1.1 billion available under its revolving credit facility. In November 2020, the Company closed on a $180 million mortgage loan for 250 West 57th Street. The new interest-only loan bears a fixed interest rate of 2.83% and matures in December 2030.

At December 31, 2020, the Company had total debt outstanding of approximately $2.2 billion, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.9% per annum, and a weighted average term to maturity of 8.2 years. At December 31, 2020, the Company’s net debt to total market capitalization was 37.2% and net debt to adjusted EBITDA was 6.3x. The Company has no outstanding debt maturity until November 2024. The Company’s $1.1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, which was undrawn as of December 31, 2020, matures in August 2021 and the Company has two six-month extension options.

In the fourth quarter and through February 16, 2021, the Company repurchased $25.3 million of its common stock at a weighted average price of $7.32 per share. This brings the cumulative total, since the stock repurchase program began on March 5, 2020 through February 16, 2021, to $147.2 million at a weighted average price of $8.34 per share, through a combination of open-market purchases and the execution of a 10b5-1 program.

Other Items

The Company recognized the following one-time benefit during the quarter:

 

   

The fourth quarter 2020 income tax benefit was $4.2 million, or approximately $0.01 per fully diluted share, and the full year 2020 income tax benefit was $7.0 million, due to taxable net operating losses for the Company’s Observatory Taxable REIT Subsidiary (TRS).

Dividend

On December 14, 2020, the Company announced its decision to continue with the suspension of the dividend for the first and second quarters of 2021 for holders of the Company’s Class A common stock (NYSE: ESRT) and Class B common stock and to holders of the Series ES, Series 250 and Series 60 partnership units (NYSE Arca: ESBA, FISK and OGCP, respectively) and Series PR partnership units of Empire State Realty OP, L.P., the Company’s operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”).
