Kimco Realty® Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Results
Kimco Realty (NYSE: KIM) reports strong fourth-quarter and full-year results, with significant gains in net income, funds from operations, and portfolio occupancy. The company achieved a record high in small shop occupancy, and signed 1.0 million square feet of new leases, the highest level in over 10 years. Despite a positive outlook for 2024, the company experienced a decrease in net income available to common shareholders per diluted share from the previous year.
Positive
Kimco Realty reported strong financial results for the fourth quarter and full year, with a significant increase in net income available to common shareholders per diluted share.
The company achieved a record high in small shop occupancy and signed 1.0 million square feet of new leases, the highest level in over 10 years.
Kimco Realty's pro-rata portfolio occupancy increased to 96.2%, representing a 70-basis-point sequential increase, the largest in over 15 years.
The company reported a 3.2% growth in Same-Property Net Operating Income (NOI) over the same period a year ago.
The acquisition of RPT Realty in January 2024 is expected to unlock additional growth and long-term value for shareholders.
Negative
The decrease in net income available to common shareholders per diluted share from the previous year is a negative aspect of the report.
The company's full year outlook for 2024 reflects anticipated acquisition costs for RPT, which may impact future financial performance.
The reported financial results from Kimco Realty highlight a significant upturn in leasing demand, with a record high in small shop occupancy and the largest sequential quarterly occupancy gain in over 15 years. This is indicative of a robust commercial real estate market, particularly in the open-air, grocery-anchored shopping center segment. The net income jump from $0.16 to $1.02 per diluted share year-over-year is a substantial increase, reflecting strong operational performance and strategic asset management, including the monetization of Albertsons Companies, Inc. shares.
From a financial perspective, the increase in Funds From Operations (FFO) to $0.39 per diluted share for Q4 and $1.57 for the full year, although slightly down from the previous year's full FFO, is still a positive indicator of Kimco's ability to generate cash flow from its operations. The FFO is a critical measure for real estate investment trusts (REITs) as it provides a clearer picture of operating performance by excluding gains and losses from property sales and depreciation. The provided initial 2024 outlook suggests a cautious but positive projection, with an expected net income and FFO per diluted share in the range of $0.47-$0.51 and $1.54-$1.58, respectively. These figures are slightly below the actual 2023 results, which could be due to anticipated merger-related expenses and a lower expected contribution from ACI share monetization.
The strategic acquisition of RPT Realty adds 56 open-air shopping centers to Kimco's portfolio, which is expected to enhance their market presence and offer potential for future growth. The growth in Same-Property Net Operating Income (NOI) by 3.2% for the quarter and 2.4% for the full year is a strong indicator of underlying asset performance and effective property management. It is also worth noting the 350-basis-point spread between leased and economic occupancy, suggesting a substantial upside potential of approximately $57 million in future annual base rent as those spaces transition to generating income.
Kimco's capital market activities, such as the issuance of $500 million of 6.400% unsecured notes and the sale of ACI shares, demonstrate proactive financial management. However, the effective interest rate of 1.10% on the repaid notes, including FMV amortization, is notably lower than the new issuance rate, which may impact interest expenses going forward. The extension of the stock repurchase program and new dividend declarations provide insights into management's confidence in the company's financial health and commitment to delivering shareholder value.
Kimco's performance, particularly in the context of a challenging retail environment with e-commerce pressures, reflects the resilience and appeal of grocery-anchored shopping centers. Their focus on open-air, mixed-use properties is aligned with current consumer preferences for convenience and experience-driven shopping. The company's proactive portfolio management, as evidenced by their strategic dispositions and structured investments, positions them well to capitalize on market dynamics and tenant demand.
Looking ahead, the merger-related expenses and the projected reduction in ACI dividend income could impact short-term financial performance, but these are likely balanced by the long-term strategic benefits of the RPT acquisition and cost-saving synergies. Investors should monitor the execution of Kimco's strategic initiatives, including the integration of the RPT portfolio and the realization of anticipated synergies, which could further solidify its position in the market and influence long-term performance.

The company considers FFO to be an important supplemental measure of its operating performance and believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting results. Comparison of the company's presentation of FFO to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the application of the Nareit definition used by such REITs.

(1)
The company considers Same Property NOI as an important operating performance measure because it is frequently used by securities analysts and investors to measure only the net operating income of properties that have been owned by the company for the entire current and prior year reporting periods. It excludes properties under redevelopment, development and pending stabilization; properties are deemed stabilized at the earlier of (i) reaching 90% leased or (ii) one year following a project’s inclusion in operating real estate. Same Property NOI assists in eliminating disparities in net income due to the development, acquisition or disposition of properties during the particular period presented, and thus provides a more consistent performance measure for the comparison of the company's properties. The company’s method of calculating Same Property NOI may differ from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.
