Mack-Cali’s third-quarter 2021 core FFO per share of 17 cents topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 13 cents. However, the figure compares unfavorably with the year-ago quarter’s 30 cents.
Results reflect a year-over-year increases in the same-store net operating income (NOI) for the office portfolio and the multi-family portfolio.
In fact, per management, “I am pleased to announce another active quarter during which we further simplified the business, continued to enhance our operational platform and capitalized on the continued strength in multifamily leasing demand. We continue to see strong interest in our high quality assets, with occupancy in our multifamily portfolio now above pre-Covid levels."
Quarterly revenues of $83.7 million surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $77.1 million. Further, the revenue figure came in 5.7% higher than the prior-year quarter’s number.
Quarter in Detail
As of Sep 30, 2021, Mack-Cali’s consolidated core office properties were 73.5% leased, compared to 74.7% as of Jun 3, 2021. The Waterfront portfolio was 73.3% leased, down from the 75.4% seen as of the second-quarter end.

In addition, the company entered into separate definitive agreements to sell two of its waterfront office properties for a combined sales price of $590 million.
