Financial report summary
?Risks
- A material portion of our portfolio comprises office assets, which have generally experienced a decrease in demand and may experience a further decrease in demand that could have a material adverse effect on us. Furthermore, the decline in the attractiveness of office assets, particularly combined with a lack of transactional activity and the current challenging capital markets could delay our capital recycling plans and our planned transition to majority multifamily.
- Our portfolio of assets is geographically concentrated in Washington, D.C. metropolitan area submarkets, and particularly concentrated in National Landing, which makes us susceptible to adverse economic and other conditions such that an economic downturn affecting this area could have a material adverse effect on us.
- Our assets and the property development market in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area are dependent on an economy that is heavily reliant on federal government spending and use of office assets, and any actual or anticipated curtailment of such spending could have a material adverse effect on us.
- We derive a significant portion of our revenue from U.S. federal government tenants, and we may face additional risks and costs associated with directly managing assets occupied by government tenants.
- We are exposed to risks associated with real estate development and redevelopment, such as unanticipated expenses, delays and other contingencies, any of which could have a material adverse effect on us.
- Partnership or real estate venture investments could be adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on partners' or co-venturers' financial condition and disputes between us and our partners or co-venturers, which could have a material adverse effect on us.
- We depend on major tenants in our commercial portfolio, and the bankruptcy, insolvency or inability to pay rent of any of these tenants could have a material adverse effect on us.
- We derive a significant portion of our revenue from five of our assets.
- which could adversely affect market rents for retail space and the willingness or ability of retailers to lease space in our retail assets.
- The loss of one or more members of our senior management team could adversely affect our ability to manage our business and to implement our growth strategies or could create a negative perception in the capital markets.
- The actual density of our development pipeline and/or any development parcel may not be consistent with our estimated potential development density.
- The occurrence of cyber incidents, or a deficiency in our cybersecurity, or the cybersecurity of our service providers, could negatively impact our business by causing a disruption to our operations, a compromise or corruption of our confidential information, regulatory enforcement and other legal proceedings, and/or damage to our business relationships, all of which could negatively impact our financial results.
- Pandemics and other health concerns, including COVID-19, could have a negative effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
- Increased focus on our ESG business values may constrain our business operations, impose additional costs and expose us to new risks that could have a material adverse effect on us.
- We face risks related to the real estate industry.
- We may incur significant costs to comply with environmental laws, and environmental contamination may impair our ability to lease and/or sell real estate.
- Increasingly competitive labor markets and our need to provide additional incentives to remain competitive in our hiring and retention efforts may hurt our ability to effectively operate our business and have a negative effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.
- We have a substantial amount of indebtedness, and our debt agreements include restrictive covenants and other requirements, which may limit our financial and operating activities, our future acquisition and development activities, or otherwise affect our financial condition.
- We may not be able to obtain capital to make investments.
- We are subject to interest rate risk, which could increase our interest expense, increase the cost to refinance and increase the cost of issuing new debt.
- Tax consequences to holders of OP Units upon a sale of certain of our assets may cause the interests of our senior management to differ from your own.
- Certain of our trustees and executive officers may have actual or potential conflicts of interest, including because of their previous or continuing equity interest in, or positions at JBG, including trustees and members of our senior management, who have an ownership interest in the JBG Legacy Funds and own carried interests in certain JBG Legacy Funds and in certain of our real estate ventures that entitle them to receive additional compensation if certain funds or real estate ventures achieve certain return thresholds.
- Our declaration of trust and bylaws, the partnership agreement of JBG SMITH LP and MGCL, and the Code contain provisions that may delay, defer or prevent a change of control transaction that might involve a premium price for our common shares or that our shareholders otherwise believe to be in their best interest.
- The limited partnership agreement of JBG SMITH LP requires the approval of the limited partners with respect to certain extraordinary transactions involving JBG SMITH, which may reduce the likelihood of such transactions being consummated, even if they are in the best interests of, and have been approved by, our shareholders.
- Substantially all our assets are owned by subsidiaries. We depend on dividends and distributions from these subsidiaries. The creditors of these subsidiaries are entitled to amounts payable to them by the subsidiaries before the subsidiaries may pay any dividends or other distributions to us.
- Our rights and the rights of our shareholders to take action against our trustees and officers are limited.
- We may fail to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT and may be required to pay income taxes at corporate rates.
- The tax imposed on REITs engaging in "prohibited transactions" may limit our ability to engage in transactions that would be treated as sales for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
- Risks Related to the Formation Transaction
- We could be required to indemnify Vornado for certain material tax obligations that could arise as addressed in the Tax Matters Agreement and certain obligations under the Separation and Distribution Agreement. Furthermore, Vornado agreed to indemnify us for certain pre-distribution liabilities and liabilities related to Vornado assets and there can be no assurance that these obligations will be sufficient to protect us. Additionally, there may be undisclosed liabilities of the Vornado and JBG assets contributed to us in the Formation Transaction that might expose us to potentially large, unanticipated costs.
- Unless Vornado and JBG SMITH were both REITs following the Separation, JBG SMITH could be required to recognize certain corporate-level gains for tax purposes as a result of the Separation.
- CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Management Discussion
- During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we sold North End Retail. In 2023, we sold an 80.0% interest in 4747 Bethesda Avenue to an unconsolidated real estate venture, and we sold Falkland Chase-South & West/North, 5 M Street Southwest, Crystal City Marriott and Capital Point-North-75 New York Avenue. We collectively refer to these assets as the "Disposed Properties" in the discussion below.
- * Not meaningful.
- Property rental revenue decreased by approximately $1.4 million, or 1.1%, to $122.6 million in 2024 from $124.0 million in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a $14.3 million decrease in revenue from our commercial assets, partially offset by $10.3 million in lease termination revenue, a $1.5 million increase in revenue from our multifamily assets and a $1.1 million increase in other revenue. The decrease in revenue from our commercial assets was primarily due to a $3.8 million decrease related to the Disposed Properties, a $2.1 million decrease related to 1800 South Bell Street, which was taken out of service during the first quarter of 2024, and lower occupancy and rents across the portfolio. The increase in revenue from our multifamily assets was primarily due to higher occupancy and rents across the portfolio and continued lease up of 8001 Woodmont, partially offset by a $2.6 million decrease related to the Disposed Properties.
