While the company may elect to update these forward-looking statements, it specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. Any forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the company's estimates or views as of any date subsequent to today. At times during this call, we may refer to funds from operations/FFO reconciliations of FFO and other non-gap financial measures to GAAP net income are contained in yesterday's press release, which is available in the investor relations section of our website at Now I'll turn the call over to John Demeritt. John. John G Demeritt Thank you, Scott, and good morning, everyone. I'm going to give a brief overview of our 4th quarter results. Afterward, I'll pass the call to George for his thoughts. As a reminder, our comments today will refer to our earnings relief supplemental package, and 10K, which, as Scott mentioned, can be found on our website. We reported funds from operations or FFO of about $2.7 million but $0.03 per share for the fourth quarter of 24 and $13.3 million or $0.13 per share for the full year of 24. We also reported a GAAP net loss of about $8.5 million or $0.08 for the fourth quarter of 24 and a net loss of $52.7 million or $0.51 per share for the full year of 24. With that, I'll turn the call over to George. George J. Carter Thank you, John, and again, welcome to Franklin Street Properties, 4th quarter, full year 2024 earnings call. During the fourth quarter of 2024, we leased a total of approximately 252,000 square feet of office space within our approximately 4.8 million square feet directly owned property portfolio. As previously reported on October 23, 2024. Completed the sale of our last property in Atlanta, Georgia. The property known as Pershing Park Plaza sold for a gross selling price of $34 million. On October 25, 2024, we repaid approximately $27.4 million of our debt. With a portion of the debt proceeds from the Pershing Park Plaza disposition. As of October 25, 2024, and December 31, 2024, our total indebtedness was approximately 250.3 million. Equivalent to approximately $52 per square foot on our remaining approximately 4.8 million square feet directly owned property portfolio. As we begin 2025, we are seeing, at least for now, a general increase in office property activity. More employees are coming back to the office. There are clearer, longer term leasing requirements from bigger tenants. And more capital is showing an interest in potential lending and equity investing in office. If this current increase in office activity continues, it should offer FSP exploration of better and more diverse opportunities to TRY and realize what we believe to be the solid intrinsic value of our underlying real estate assets for shareholders. I will now turn the call over to John Donahue, President of our property management company, for some colour on leasing, John. John F. Donahue Thank you, George. Good morning, everyone. The FSP directly owned portfolio was approximately 70.3% leased at the end of the fourth quarter compared to 70.4% leased at the end of the third quarter and 74.0% leased at the end of calendar 2023. The decrease in leased occupancy during 2024 has been attributable to multiple property dispositions and to lease expirations. Economic occupancy of the directly owned portfolio was approximately 68.6% at the end of the fourth quarter compared to 70.1% at the end of calendar 2023. The decrease was primarily due to multiple property dispositions during the year. FSP finalized approximately 616,000 square feet of total leasing during 2024, which included approximately 252,000 square feet of total leasing during the fourth quarter. Approximately 445,000 square feet of renewals and expansions were executed in 2024 along with 171,000 square feet of new tenant leases. Leasing activity gained momentum during the 2nd half of 2024 and finished strong in the final quarter. The pipeline of leasing prospects continued to increase into the 1st quarter as the overall number of new prospects seeking at least a full floor continued to trend upward. FSB is currently tracking over 600,000 square feet of prospective new tenants. Including nearly 350,000 square feet of prospects that have identified FSP assets on their respective shortlists. In addition, FSB has been working with approximately 500,000 square feet of potential renewals and expansions. Scheduled lease expirations for Calendar 2025 total approximately 322,000 square feet. Which represents approximately 6.7% of FSP's directly owned portfolio. The new tenant pipeline combined with a modest amount of lease expirations in 2025 provides FSP with an opportunity for positive net absorption during the next 12 months, barring any surprises for the impact of potential dispositions. Thank you. I will now turn it over to Jefffrey B Carter. Jeffrey B. Carter Thank you, John, and good morning, everyone. I will provide an update on our disposition activity for the 4th quarter of 2024 and for the full year, as well as our perspective on current market conditions. In 2024, FSP completed the sale of 3 properties for total gross proceeds of approximately $100 million. During the fourth quarter of 2024 and as previously reported, we sold our Pershing Park Plaza property in Atlanta for $34 million. Since the inception of our current disposition program that began in late 2020, FSP has completed approximately $1.1 billion in gross property sales that have resulted in an approximately 75% reduction in our corporate indebtedness and underscores our focus on strengthening our balance sheet and increasing financial flexibility. While every property sale reflects unique attributes such as location, occupancy levels, tenancy, and rental rates, the sales completed to date in our disposition efforts have averaged approximately $211 per square foot. We continue to believe that our current share price does not accurately reflect the intrinsic value of our underlying real estate assets, and we will continue to seek to increase shareholder value by pursuing the sale of select properties when we believe that the short to intermediate term valuation potential has been reached. Turning to market conditions, the office sales environment within our markets remained challenged during the fourth quarter of '24 and was primarily dominated by buyers seeking distressed pricing. Liquidity in the marketplace has been constricted, with both debt and equity capital having been difficult to secure for prospective buyers and existing owners. This has been compounded by what has been soft tenant demand, elevated vacancies, and uncertainty. Despite such headwinds, there are emerging signs that 2024 may have represented a bottoming in the market with anecdotal optimism anticipating potential incremental progress in 2025 and beyond. Factors such as potential interest rate stabilization, improving liquidity conditions, employer-led initiatives to bring workers back to the office, and improving leasing conditions could drive improvements in sentiment for stronger sales conditions and will bear watching. Where non-distressed transactions are occurring in our markets, they still tend to be smaller dollar-sized deals involving high quality, well leased properties in strong locations, larger traditional institutional buyers in our markets who Favor core plus property. Where high quality value adds properties have been largely absent thus far, and we are closely monitoring these trends as conditions evolve. Proceeds from any property sales will continue to be primarily used to reduce debt, further enhancing our financial flexibility, and positioning the company to pursue any path that maximizes value for our shareholders. As previously discussed, for competitive reasons, we will not be discussing potential disposition information beyond what is included in our filings, as our primary goal is to maximize the value achieved on each sale to our shareholders and in the current environment, we have found this to be in the best interests of our stakeholders. We remain committed to working with our teams and market professionals to identify and engage credible buyers capable of closing transactions. And with that, we thank you for listening to our earnings conference call today. And now at this time we'd like to open up the call for any questions, Karen. Operator (Operator Instructions) Your first question comes from the line of Steven Dumanski from Janey. Please go ahead. Your line is open. Steven Dumanski Thank you. There was a significant uptick in leasing for the 4th quarter. A true testament to your team's diligent efforts here. Can you please expand on the robust leasing velocity for the quarter, like any information regarding which geographies and tenants contributed to this drive? That would greatly appreciate. John F. Donahue Good morning, Steven. This is John Donahue. Sure, I can give you a little bit of color on what happened as we closed out the year. We have been witnessing a steady. New tenant activity in Houston all year throughout Calendar 24. We were able to finalize some new deals. We also had several new deals in Minneapolis that we've been working on for quite a while that finally were able to get over the goal line for the year, I would say that the two strongest markets were Houston and Denver for the 4th quarter, Houston and Minneapolis. We were able to engage some tenants in Dallas for some renewals, and we're hoping to do more of that in the coming year. As far as the industries, it was diverse. We had Government healthcare, business services, energy, chemical, construction, agricultural, so diverse. The one industry that's been sort of lacking is tech. We'd like to see tech come back as well. So we're very encouraged by the trend. We're hopeful that far North Dallas will also. Gain from the current increase in activity we're seeing an uptick there and that's well needed. So yeah, the downtown markets have done better over the last 6 to 12 months and the suburban markets will continue. Steven Dumanski Thank you, that was helpful. You expressed that government as a tenant was a contributor to this growth. Just be interested to see. With Doge, would that be effective of any of your properties in terms of termination of leases or move outs or is that just more not applicable. John F. Donahue So the short answer would be that we don't expect any impact from our existing tenants, whether they be the national government, the Fed, or local government. We don't have any option. Early options to terminate, so we're not expecting any impact at all. If you look at our tenant roster, the TOP20 tenants on page 17 of the supplemental, you'll see that we do have one US government lease rolling in 13 months, and we are engaged with them for a potential renewal, which was a good indicator. So hopefully that will come to fruition, but the short answer is no, we don't expect any. George J. Carter Impact. Thank you. That's all for me. John F. Donahue Thank you. Operator That concludes our Q&A session. I will now turn the call over to George Carter for closing remarks. George J. Carter Thank you everyone for listening to our earnings call, and we look forward to updating you between now and our next earnings call and talking to you on our next earnings call. Thank you and have a great day. Operator Ladies and gentlemen, that concludes today's call. Thank you all for joining and you may now disconnect. Sign in to access your portfolio

Franklin Street Properties Corp. Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Results
WAKEFIELD, Mass., February 11, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Franklin Street Properties Corp. (the "Company", "FSP", "we" or "our") (NYSE American: FSP), a real estate investment trust (REIT), announced its results for the fourth quarter and the year ended December 31, 2024. George J. Carter, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented as follows: "During the fourth quarter of 2024, we leased a total of approximately 252,000 square feet of office space within our approximately 4.8 million square foot directly–owned property portfolio. As previously reported, on October 23, 2024, we completed the sale of our last property in Atlanta, Georgia. The property, known as Pershing Park Plaza, sold for a gross selling price of $34 million. On October 25, 2024, we repaid approximately $27.4 million of our debt with a portion of the net proceeds from the Pershing Park Plaza disposition. As of October 25, 2024 and December 31, 2024, our total indebtedness was approximately $250.3 million, equivalent to approximately $52 per square foot on our remaining approximately 4.8 million square foot directly-owned property portfolio." Financial Highlights GAAP net loss was $8.5 million and $52.7 million, or $0.08 and $0.51 per basic and diluted share for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, respectively. Funds From Operations (FFO) was $2.7 million and $13.3 million, or $0.03 and $0.13 per basic and diluted share, for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, respectively. Leasing Highlights During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, we leased approximately 616,000 square feet, including 171,000 square feet of new leases. Our directly-owned real estate portfolio of 14 owned properties, totaling approximately 4.8 million square feet, was approximately 70.3% leased as of December 31, 2024, compared to approximately 74.0% leased as of December 31, 2023. The decrease in the leased percentage is primarily a result of three property dispositions and lease expirations during the year ended December 31, 2024, which were partially offset by leasing completed during the year ended December 31, 2024. The weighted average GAAP base rent per square foot achieved on leasing activity during the year ended December 31, 2024, was $30.06, or 8.2% higher than average rents in the respective properties for the year ended December 31, 2023. The average lease term on leases signed during the year ended December 31, 2024, was 6.3 years compared to 6.8 years during the year ended December 31, 2023. Overall, the portfolio weighted average rent per occupied square foot was $31.77 as of December 31, 2024, compared to $30.72 as of December 31, 2023. We believe that our continuing portfolio of real estate is well located, primarily in the Sunbelt and Mountain West geographic regions, and consists of high-quality assets with upside leasing potential. Investment Highlights We continue to believe that the current price of our common stock does not accurately reflect the intrinsic value of our underlying real estate assets. We will continue to seek to increase shareholder value by pursuing the sale of select properties when we believe that short to intermediate term valuation potential has been reached. Since December of 2020, our property dispositions have resulted in aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1.1 billion and reflect an average sales price per square foot of approximately $211. Since December of 2020, we have used net proceeds from property dispositions to reduce our total indebtedness by approximately 75%, from approximately $1.0 billion to approximately $250 million. On October 23, 2024, we sold our last property in Atlanta, Georgia, known as Pershing Park Plaza. The property, an approximately 160,145 square foot office building, sold for a gross selling price of $34 million. On October 25, 2024, we used approximately $27.4 million of the net proceeds from the disposition to repay debt resulting in a reduction in total indebtedness to an aggregate of approximately $250.3 million, which reflects about $52 per square foot on the remaining approximately 4.8 million square foot directly owned portfolio. Dividends On January 10, 2025, we announced that our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend for the three months ended December 31, 2024, of $0.01 per share of common stock that will be paid on February 13, 2025, to stockholders of record on January 24, 2025. Consolidation of Sponsored REIT As of January 1, 2023, we consolidated the operations of our Monument Circle sponsored REIT into our financial statements. On October 29, 2021, we agreed to amend and restate our existing loan to Monument Circle that is secured by a mortgage on real estate owned by Monument Circle, which we refer to as the Sponsored REIT Loan. The amended and restated Sponsored REIT Loan extended the maturity date from December 6, 2022 to June 30, 2023 (and was further extended to September 30, 2023 on June 26, 2023), increased the aggregate principal amount of the loan from $21 million to $24 million, and included certain other modifications. On September 26, 2023, the maturity date was extended to September 30, 2024 and on September 27, 2024, was further extended to September 30, 2025. In consideration of our agreement to amend and restate the Sponsored REIT Loan, we obtained from the stockholders of Monument Circle the right to vote their shares in favor of any sale of the property owned by Monument Circle any time on or after January 1, 2023. As a result of our obtaining this right to vote shares, GAAP variable interest entity (VIE) rules required us to consolidate Monument Circle as of January 1, 2023. A gain on consolidation of approximately $0.4 million was recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2023. Additional information about the consolidation of Monument Circle can be found in Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies - Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)" and Note 3, "Related Party Transactions and Investments in Non-Consolidated Entities - Management fees and interest income from loans", in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2024. Non-GAAP Financial Information A reconciliation of Net income (loss) to FFO, Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) and Sequential Same Store NOI and our definitions of FFO, AFFO and Sequential Same Store NOI can be found on Supplementary Schedules H and I. 2024 Net Income (Loss), FFO and Disposition Guidance At this time, due primarily to economic conditions and uncertainty surrounding the timing and amount of proceeds received from property dispositions, we are continuing suspension of Net Income (Loss), FFO and property disposition guidance. Real Estate Update Supplementary schedules provide property information for the Company's owned and consolidated properties as of December 31, 2024. The Company will also be filing an updated supplemental information package that will provide stockholders and the financial community with additional operating and financial data.

The Company has included the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) FFO definition as of May 17, 2016 in the table and notes that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently. The Company's computation of FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to FFO or AFFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies that define FFO or AFFO differently.

The Company defines FFO as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, hedge ineffectiveness, acquisition costs of newly acquired properties that are not capitalized and lease acquisition costs that are not capitalized plus depreciation and amortization, including amortization of acquired above and below market lease intangibles and impairment charges on mortgage loans, properties or investments in non-consolidated REITs, and after adjustments to exclude equity in income or losses from, and, to include the proportionate share of FFO from, non-consolidated REITs. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss (determined in accordance with GAAP), nor as an indicator of the Company's financial performance, nor as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), nor as a measure of the Company's liquidity, nor is it necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company's needs. Other real estate companies and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, may define this term in a different manner. We have included the NAREIT FFO as of May 17, 2016 in the table and note that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do. We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the results of the Company, FFO should be examined in connection with net income or loss and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in the consolidated financial statements. Adjusted Funds From Operations ("AFFO") The Company also evaluates performance based on Adjusted Funds From Operations, which we refer to as AFFO. The Company defines AFFO as (1) FFO, (2) excluding loss on extinguishment of debt that is non-cash, (3) excluding our proportionate share of FFO and including distributions received, from non-consolidated REITs, (4) excluding the effect of straight-line rent, (5) plus the amortization of deferred financing costs, (6) plus the value of shares issued as compensation and (7) less recurring capital expenditures that are generally for maintenance of properties, which we call non-investment capex or are second generation capital expenditures. Second generation costs include re-tenanting space after a tenant vacates, which include tenant improvements and leasing commissions. We exclude development/redevelopment activities, capital expenditures planned at acquisition and costs to reposition a property. We also exclude first generation leasing costs, which are generally to fill vacant space in properties we acquire or were planned for at acquisition. AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss (determined in accordance with GAAP), nor as an indicator of the Company's financial performance, nor as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), nor as a measure of the Company's liquidity, nor is it necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company's needs. Other real estate companies may define this term in a different manner. We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the results of the Company, AFFO should be examined in connection with net income or loss and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in the consolidated financial statements. Franklin Street Properties Corp. Earnings Release Supplementary Schedule I Reconciliation and Definition of Sequential Same Store results to property Net Operating Income (NOI) and Net Income Net Operating Income ("NOI") The Company provides property performance based on Net Operating Income, which we refer to as NOI. Management believes that investors are interested in this information. NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company defines as net income or loss (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) plus general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, including amortization of acquired above and below market lease intangibles and impairment charges, interest expense, less equity in earnings of nonconsolidated REITs, interest income, management fee income, hedge ineffectiveness, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, gains or losses on the sale of assets and excludes non-property specific income and expenses. The information presented includes footnotes and the data is shown by region with properties owned in the periods presented, which we call Sequential Same Store. The comparative Sequential Same Store results include properties held for all periods presented. We exclude properties that have been placed in service, but that do not have operating activity for all periods presented, dispositions and significant nonrecurring income such as bankruptcy settlements and lease termination fees. NOI, as defined by the Company, may not be comparable to NOI reported by other REITs that define NOI differently. NOI should not be considered an alternative to net income or loss as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of the Company's liquidity or its ability to make distributions. The calculations of NOI and Sequential Same Store are shown in the following table: (in thousands) Rentable Square Feet or RSF Three Months Ended 31-Dec-24 Three Months Ended 30-Sep-24 Inc (Dec) % Change Region MidWest 757 1,170 1,278 (108 ) (8.5 ) % South 1,909 4,549 4,390 159 3.6 % West 2,140 5,670 6,037 (367 ) (6.1 ) % Property NOI* from Owned Properties 4,806 11,389 11,705 (316 ) (2.7 ) % Disposition and Acquisition Properties (a) 214 (266 ) 678 (944 ) (7.5 ) % NOI* 5,020 $ 11,123 $ 12,383 $ (1,260 ) (10.2 ) % Sequential Same Store $ 11,389 $ 11,705 $ (316 ) (2.7 ) % Less Nonrecurring Items in NOI* (b) 185 78 107 (0.9 ) % Comparative Sequential Same Store $ 11,204 $ 11,627 $ (423 ) (3.6 ) % Reconciliation to Net loss Three Months Ended 31-Dec-24 Three Months Ended 30-Sep-24 Net loss $ (8,526 ) $ (15,622 ) Add (deduct): Loss on extinguishment of debt 428 477 Loss on sale of properties and impairment of assets held for sale, net 367 7,254 Management fee income (386 ) (422 ) Depreciation and amortization 10,757 10,911 Amortization of above/below market leases (1 ) (5 ) General and administrative 2,815 3,275 Interest expense 5,912 6,585 Interest income (395 ) (340 ) Non-property specific items, net 152 270 NOI* $ 11,123 $ 12,383 (a) We define Disposition and Acquisition Properties as properties that were sold acquired or consolidated and do not have operating activity for all periods presented.
