Rexford Industrial reports Q1 core FFO 52c, consensus 52c

Reports Q1 revenue $186.24M, consensus $184.66M. "Our team produced excellent Q1 results…We continue to see healthy levels of tenant demand, amidst a persistent, virtually incurable supply-demand imbalance within infill Southern California, the nation’s highest demand industrial market and fourth largest in the world, behind only the entire countries of the U.S., China and Japan in market size," stated Michael Frankel and Howard Schwimmer, Co-CEO’s. "During the quarter, our team increased Core FFO by 34% and Core FFO per diluted share by 8% compared to the prior year. We executed 1.8 million square feet of new and renewal leases with exceptional leasing spreads of 80% and 60% on a GAAP and cash basis, respectively. We have completed $804.3 million dollars of investments year to date, 85% of which were acquired on an off-market or lightly marketed basis, thereby enabling a substantially above-market return on investment. The company is positioned for favorable internal and external growth, with 11.5 million square feet of expiring leases through 2024 with an embedded mark-to market estimated at 78% and 63% on a net effective and cash basis, respectively, plus 3.6 million square feet of repositioning and redevelopment projects expected to start over the next 24 months projected to generate an aggregate 6.4% unlevered cash yield on total investment. Additionally, our proprietary, event- and data-driven acquisitions sourcing program currently comprises about $120M of investments under contract or accepted offer, projecting an aggregated 6.0% stabilized unlevered cash yield, which are subject to customary closing conditions. Our investment grade, low-leverage balance sheet and focused, value-creation strategy positions the Company to continue to drive accretive growth for our shareholders."
