Introduction to Lease Analysis By Norm Miller, PhD Click on the speaker icon to hear the content in spoken form along with more detail and description.

Introduction to Leases A lease is a legal contract between a tenant (lessee) and landlord (lessor) Specifies the rights and obligations of the owner and user A lease divides the “bundle of rights” in real estate into two interests – Owner’s Leased Fee Interest – Tenant’s Leasehold Estate

Names of owners & tenants with authority to contract Description of property Consideration (deposit or something of value) Legality of leased space (building and zoning code compliance, etc.) Offer and acceptance of the contract Requirements of a Valid Commercial Lease

Lease analysis may intersect with Corp Site analysis: employer needs – CEO, Key Partner and Employee access – Client access, co-tenants – Government incentives or regulations – Parking needs – Amenities – Other factors that will vary for industrial (power, truck, rail, multimodal hubs), or retail (market and access dominate, signage, and lighting).

Lease Perspectives Vary Landlord Maximize Net Present Value Support Financing with highest quality tenant credit Minimize parking required Synergize tenants (retail) so as to maximize productivity Understand tenant’s business Shift operating expenses to tenant if possible (there are exceptions) Diversify expiration risk by term and tenant size as % of property (Retail) Local flavor and diversity? Renewals at market or close to it Tenant Minimize net present value of lease Minimize total occupancy costs Minimize unexpected pass through expenses or significant increases Minimize up front costs (in some cases) Maximize flexibility and the need to expand, downsize, exit when desired with the least possible penalties (using options) Renew on favorable terms

Key lease types Triple net lease or absolute net lease: – Tenant pays everything, even M&R, typical on retail and industrial, esp single tenant properties. Industrial gross – Tenant pays CAM, increases in PI and PT over base Modified gross or Hybrid – Tenant pays CAM, PI, PT, and Utilities, possibly Janitorial Gross lease – Tenant may pay metered interior utilities, may pay interior cleaning – Landlord pays everything else Full Service lease: landlord pays everything Key: Must carefully define anything in between Triple net and full service! Terms vary by market and what is typical varies by market.

A tenant typically has the right to sublease space – unless noted otherwise. Often the landlord will have some right to refuse sub-lease tenants but must be reasonable in accommodating requests. Subleases do not eliminate the tenants (lessee) requirement to guarantee the rent is paid, unless the landlord releases the tenant and then it is no longer a sublease. Sublease trends usually lead the market. Subleases

Defining the space

Building Measurements TermMeasureDefinition and Use Gross Building AreaGross Square Feet (gsf) or GBA Includes all enclosed area Total Rentable AreaRentable Building Area or RBA Gross less vertical penetrations (i.e. stairs, elevator shafts) Common Area aka “Core Space” at CoStar Area shared by all tenants Common areas of the floor like hallways, bathrooms. Building Common Area % (CoStar “Core Factor”) Aka “Load factor” or “Loss Factor” Floor and Building Common area relative to Rentable Area Common area use of the building (does not include vertical penetrations) Efficiency RatioRatio of RBA to GBAMore efficiency means more rent per GBA but less architectural interest and less common space.

Rentable, Usable and Common Space Bath Lobby Hall Storage B C Not Rentable Usable Elev ators Stairwell Common

Calculate the load factor: A Landlord quotes 22,000 SF of Rentable space with 20,000 SF of Usable. Calculate the the “load-factor.” Rentable U sable Load factor or loss factor 22,000 = 1.10 or 10% “load” 20,000 “Core” or Load Factor

ER 20,000 = 90.91% 22,000 Rentable U sable Efficiency Ratio or inverse of Load factor

Commercial Leases Commercial leases can be gross “full service” leases or triple net leases. Most multi-tenant buildings use some sort of net lease, but single tenant buildings are more likely to be triple net. Gross Lease Triple or Absolute Net Lease “Net Lease” where we pay see some pass through items (i.e. property taxes and insurance) Most Common

Key rent clauses Base rent (flat, indexed, graduated) Measured space (RBA, defined by BOMA) Tenant improvements (who pays, how much, removal, how generic, work letters, who does the work) Lease term (commences, renewals, cancellation, penalties) How indexed? If at all, peer group defined if “market based” Options to renew, move, expand, contract or downsize. Parking allowances (free, paid, utilization) Lighting and power use Operating expenses, maintenance and repair expenses Non-disturbance Deposits and guarantees, Authority to modify Many others depending on market and property type

What are the operating expenses? CAM (Common area expenses: defined) Maintenance defined so as not to include capital improvements without approval. – i.e. Janitorial, cleaning supplies, landscaping, snow removal, sweeping, etc. Security Property Taxes Property Insurance Sewer and water, utilities, trash removal, credits for recycling salvage Management (?) and admin charges on pass throughs. For retail there are many more, i.e. advertising and marketing fees, events and specialty promotions

Key Proforma considerations Forecasting rents starts with the rent roll Vacancies are then considered based on: – Current property vacancy – Market vacancy for peer set – Probability of lease renewal Type of tenant, size, tenant improvements – Time to re-lease is a critical assumption and often runs years not months – Lease commissions and renewals must be factored in. – Every lease must be part of a detailed lease by lease proforma so that stops and caps can be considered for operating expenses that may be paid by landlord. – Sometimes the discount rate for DCF analysis can vary by tenant risk weight in the rent roll. – Tenant retention is a marketing and management art.

Keep in mind the need to segment market by quality, location and tenant size

How long does it take to re-lease Class A office space? (as of Oct 24, 2013) Atlanta 34.7 months Boston 26.5 months Detroit 49.6 months San Francisco 22.8 months

What affects the probability of renewal? Below market rent adjustment based on a fixed or modest increase. Financial distress of tenant as indicated by high space per worker (downsizing) The level of TI invested by the tenant or the customization of the space. Size of tenant. Age of tenant business and if they have renewed before. Proactive management. Asking them if they are happy?

What are the contentious negotiation issues for all leases? Prorating formulas for pass-throughs The right to audit for tenant or landlord Caps on specific expense items or totals per year Capital improvements vs maintenance and repair Questionable operating expenses like accounting, legal, memberships, travel, data maintenance and data backup. Assignment of lease space, sublet rights, signage. Acts of nature: fire, flood, earthquake, or crimes and required responses by each. Mold and toxic materials on site. Enforcement mechanisms on any issues of dispute (arbitration, LOC, termination penalties) Other issues vary by property type

Office Key Issues Lease term and options to renew Base rent adjustment formulas (i.e. PPI, CPI, % of CPI, Fixed rates, min’s, maxes by year or term and time period used to determine) Lease renewals at market (how defined, when determined) TI (tenant improvements) and how spent, access to site, who’s contractors used, free rent, access prior to lease starting date, indemnity from TI work issues. Parking may or may not be a key issue depending on site use intensity Cleaning timing, lights, recycling, LEED requirements. Removal of electronics and wireless equipment Others? Exclusive floor, exclusive elevators, signage?

Retail Right to go dark Right to terminate, move, expand, contract Right to lease in nearby sites (radius restrictions) Break point sales, if any Percentage of sales for overage and excluded items Exclusive merchandise clauses and enforcement mechanisms Contingency to terminate based on certain anchors not going dark or percentage of total center operating (Co-tenancy) Remedies when rogue tenants violate lease clauses

Industrial In addition to those in the office list, add – Power availability and K-watts – Power back up – Water and sewer access – Hazardous substances on site and handling – Who gets benefits of green house gas credits, if any?

The Building Block of Investment Value Begins With the Tenant and Lease The value of a building is primarily the summed value of the net productivity of leased space, as now constrained by lease contracts and as affected by operating expenses, market trends and longer term prospects. If each stone is the size of the tenant, which stack is riskier?

Economics of Lease Analysis The pattern of the cash flow matters to both the landlord and tenant and requires some way to compare leases. Which of these leases is best for the landlord? Tenant? Time Rent A C B

Types of Lease Financial Analysis 1. The net present value of the lease for the entire period of the lease 2. The lease costs per period on a level average basis (note many brokers incorrectly call this effective rent) 3. The total dollar outflow or to be received 4. The net present value of the lease per square foot 5. The effective level rent payment or receipt per square foot. (our preferred method)

Effective Annualized Rent or “Annuitized Lease Value” : Once the present value of the rent is calculated it can be converted to the mathematically equivalent present value flow based on a steady annual or monthly flow of level payments. Annuitized Rent Per Square Foot allows you to adjust for different sizes.

Effective Rent Calculation for the landlord k(LPV) Effective Rent per period = (1+k)[1 - 1/(1+k) T ] This could be monthly or annual. Confusing? Try a visual example…… CF2CF3 CFt LPV =CF k(1+k) 2 (1+k) t-1 CF is the net cash flow received after all periodic operating expenses, usually paid at the beginning of the period. CF1 is the net cash flow to the landlord at the beginning of the lease in month 1 While CFt is the net cash flow in the last month of the lease at time t. From the tenant perspective the cash flow is not the net received but the total paid. K is the discount rate used to bring the cash flows back to present value. Last we convert this present value to a level annuity like a flat payment as follows:

Rent Pattern is converted to an equivalent flat payment for the entire lease period. Period TI = $25 PSFT No rent Free rentRent $40 PSFRent $50 PSFRent $60 PSF -$25 $40 $50 $60 Effective Rent Annual Calculation using 10% discount rate = $20.77 Could you guess at $20.77 from the above pattern or compare to another lease with a different pattern? That is why we need the calculation, so we can compare Leases. Note: discount rates need not be the same for landlords and tenants.

Step 1) Calculate the Lease Present Value, LPV, as described earlier (monthly or annual) using beginning of period payments Step 2) Calculate the Annuitized Value ("Level Annuity Payment") of the LPV One more time: Annuitized or Effective Rent Calculation Procedure where "k" is the same discount rate as above, and "T" is again the term of the lease

Lease "A": Term: 5 years Rent: $20/SF, net Concessions: 1 year free rent, up front Numerical Example of Effective Rent per Sq Ft Calculation

Lease “B": Term: 6 years Rent: $25/SF, net Concessions: 2 years free rent, up front Effective Rent Calculation (Contd.) Landlord would prefer Lease A over Lease B, even though lease B has a higher future "nominal rent" ($25/SF vs. $20/SF) but there may be circumstances when B is preferred, when? The tenant would generally prefer Lease B

A Note on Lease Cycles Why? Habits of owners to use similar lease terms and durations. Cycle of new construction is lumpy as are large projects.
