BXP’s quarterly results reflect better-than-anticipated revenues on healthy leasing activity. However, lower occupancy during the quarter marred its year-over-year FFO per share growth. BXP also revised its guidance for 2025 FFO per share.
Quarterly lease revenues were $811.1 million, up 2.9% year over year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate was pegged at $790.9 million. Total revenues increased 3.1% from the prior-year quarter to $865.2 million.
BXP’s First Quarter in Detail
Boston Properties’ rental revenues (excluding termination income) for the office portfolio came in at $799.2 million, which rose 1.5% year over year. For the hotel & residential segment, the metric aggregated $21.9 million, indicating a jump of 5.2% year over year. On a consolidated basis, BXP’s rental revenues (excluding termination income) came in at $821.1 million, up 1.6% year over year.
BXP’s share of the same property net operating income (NOI) on a cash basis (excluding termination income) totaled $460.9 million, which increased 1.8% from the prior-year quarter.
Its share of EBITDAre (on a cash basis), as of March 31, 2025, was $455.6 million, up marginally from $452.5 million as of March 31, 2024.
BXP’s in-service properties occupancy decreased 60 basis points sequentially to 86.9% due to the lease expiration of 350,000 square feet at 200 Fifth Avenue in New York. We estimated the metric to be 87%.
BXP’s Portfolio Activity
During the first quarter, the company executed 91 leases spanning more than 1.1 million square feet, an increment of 25% year over year, with a weighted average lease term of 10.9 years.
In the first quarter of 2025, BXP completed the formation of a joint venture with CrossHarbor Capital and Albanese Organization and its partner to develop a 670-unit, around $455.8 million residential project — ‘290 Coles Street’.
Balance Sheet Position of BXP
Boston Properties exited the first quarter of 2025 with cash and cash equivalents of $398.1 million, down from $1.25 billion as of Dec. 31, 2024.
