Read MoreHide Full Article

Key Takeaways

  • BXP's Q2 FFO per share of $1.71 beat estimates but fell 3.4% from the prior-year quarter.
  • Quarterly revenues rose 2.1% to $868.5M, driven by solid leasing activity and higher rental income.
  • BXP revised 2025 FFO per share guidance upward to a range of $6.84-$6.92 from $6.80-$6.92.

Boston Properties Inc.’s (BXP - Free Report)  second-quarter 2025 funds from operations (FFO) per share of $1.71 surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.67. However, the reported figure fell 3.4% year over year.

BXP’s quarterly results reflect better-than-anticipated revenues on healthy leasing activity. However, lower occupancy and higher interest expenses 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 $805.9 million, up 1.9% year over year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate was pegged at $800.9 million. Total revenues increased 2.1% from the prior-year quarter to $868.5 million.

BXP’s Second Quarter in Detail

Boston Properties’ rental revenues (excluding termination income) for the office portfolio came in at $806.7 million, which rose 1% year over year. For the hotel & residential segment, the metric aggregated $27.3 million, indicating a jump of 1% year over year. On a consolidated basis, BXP’s rental revenues (excluding termination income) came in at $834 million, up 1% year over year.

BXP’s share of the same-property net operating income (NOI) on a cash basis (excluding termination income) totaled $467.9 million, which increased 1.7% from the prior-year quarter.

Its share of EBITDAre (on a cash basis), as of June 30, 2025, was $461.8 million, down marginally from $466.2 million as of June 30, 2024.

BXP’s in-service properties occupancy decreased 50 basis points sequentially to 86.4% due to the lease expiration of 360,000 square feet in the Boston region. We estimated the metric to be 86.5%.

However, interest expenses climbed 8.8% to $162.8 million year over year. We estimated the metric to grow 9.4%.

BXP’s Portfolio Activity

During the second quarter, the company executed 91 leases spanning more than 1.1 million square feet, with a weighted average lease term of 9.4 years.

To maximize the value of its land holdings, in the second quarter of 2025, BXP started redevelopment of 17 Hartwell Avenue into a fully entitled, 312-unit residential project in Lexington, MA, with its investor, Northwestern Mutual. The project is expected to be completed in mid-2027.
