Simon Property Group and Brookfield Are Leading Bidders to Buy Bankrupt J.C. Penney

  • Mall operators Simon Property Group (NYSE: SPG) and Brookfield Property Partners (NASDAQ: BPY) joined forces to present a bid to buy J.C. Penney (OTC: JCPN.Q) out of bankruptcy, and theirs has reportedly emerged as the leading offer. While private equity firm Sycamore Partners was offering a somewhat higher amount, Simon and Brookfield are jointly willing to offer concessions on the department store's leases that have led the company and its lenders to view their bid as a better option. Simon is the country's largest mall operator, and J.C. Penney has a presence in about half of its malls, or some 63 locations.

Brookfield Property Partners Reports Second Quarter 2020 Results

  • All dollar references are in U.S. dollars, unless noted otherwise. BROOKFIELD NEWS, Aug. 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brookfield Property Partners L.P. (NASDAQ: BPY; NASDAQ: BPYU; TSX: BPY.UN) (“BPY”) today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.“The second quarter of 2020 brought unprecedented challenges to the commercial real estate industry, in addition to  the broader economy and society as a whole.  I am extremely proud of the thousands of dedicated Brookfield real estate employees around the globe who all played an integral role in preparing our properties for safe re-opening, and it's gratifying to see our tenants return to their buildings and resume operations,” said Brian Kingston, Chief Executive Officer.              Financial ResultsCompany FFO (CFFO) was $178 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, compared to $335 million in the prior-year period. CFFO was impacted significantly this quarter by the widespread closures of our Hospitality and Retail assets due to the global economic shutdown, and the prior-year period benefited from a transaction gain of $38 million. In the prior-year period, CFFO and realized gains benefited from higher realizations in our LP investment strategy.Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 was a loss of $1,512 million ($(1.26) per LP unit) versus a gain of $23 million ($0.12 per LP unit) for the same period in 2019. The decrease in net income over the prior year period is primarily attributable to an unrealized reduction in asset values across the portfolio.  Three months ended Jun. 30, Six months ended Jun. 30, (US$ Millions, except per unit amounts) 2020   2019   2020   2019   Net income(1) $(1,512) $23  $(1,885) $736  Company FFO and realized gains(2) $178  $362  $501  $729  Company FFO(2) $178  $335  $487  $642  Net income per LP unit(3)(4) $(1.26) $0.12  $(1.74) $0.44  Company FFO and realized gains per unit(4)(5) $0.18  $0.38  $0.51  $0.76  (1)  Consolidated basis – includes amounts attributable to non-controlling interests. (2)  See "Basis of Presentation" and “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures” in this press release for the definition and components. (3)  Represents basic net income attributable to holders of LP units. IFRS requires the inclusion of preferred shares that are mandatorily convertible into LP units at a price of $25.70 without an add-back to earnings of the associated carry on the preferred shares.           (4)  Net income attributable to holders of LP units and Company FFO and realized gains per unit are reduced by preferred dividends of $11 million and $20 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, in determining per unit amounts. (5)  Company FFO and realized gains per unit are calculated based on 935.6 million (2019 – 952.1 million) and 939.5 million (2019 – 961.4 million) units outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Operating Highlights Our Core Office business generated CFFO of $126 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared to $187 million in the same period in 2019. The decrease in CFFO is primarily attributable to a transaction gain of $38 million recognized in the prior-year period, and a decrease this quarter in contributions from our parking and retail operations.  Rent collections in our office portfolio in the second quarter were largely uninterrupted and consistent with historical periods.Despite a challenging operating environment resulting from the global economic shutdown, Core Office leasing activity in the second quarter totaled 0.7 million square feet spread across all of our major markets, executed at rents 16% higher on average than expiring leases in the period. Occupancy in the portfolio decreased 20 basis points to 92.3%, with a remaining weighted average lease term of 8.6 years. Our Core Retail operations generated CFFO of $140 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared to $170 million in the comparable period in 2019. The current quarter results were impacted significantly by widespread mandated closures in our U.S. retail portfolio related to the global economic shutdown, which caused a decline in mall revenues, fee income, and an increase in credit loss reserves.Our Core Retail business leased approximately 7.4 million square feet over the past 12 months with suite-to-suite rent spreads of 7%. Our same-store properties were 95% leased for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, consistent with the prior year. On a year-over-year basis, in-place rents were up 1.1%1.  Rent collections in this portfolio in the second quarter were approximately 34%, with July collections trending significantly stronger.Our LP Investments generated CFFO and realized losses of $8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, compared to earnings of $106 million in the comparable period in 2019. Results in the current quarter were negatively impacted by a year-over-year decrease in earnings from our Hospitality investments of $78 million ($0.08 per unit) due to property closures, and a decline in transaction gains.  Three months ended Jun. 30, Six months ended Jun. 30, (US$ Millions)2020   2019   2020   2019   Company FFO and realized gains:      Core Office $126  $187  $261  $327  Core Retail$140  $170  $335  $354  LP Investments$(8) $106  $68  $252  Corporate$(80) $(101) $(163) $(204) Company FFO and realized gains(1)$178  $362  $501  $729  (1) See "Basis of Presentation" and "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures" below in this press release for the definitions and components. Dispositions In the second quarter, we completed $63 million of gross asset dispositions at our share, at prices that were 3% higher than our IFRS carrying values. These sales generated approximately $21 million in net proceeds to BPY.New Investments * Restructured joint venture at Water Tower Place in Chicago to increase ownership from 43% to 94% through assumption of partner's proportionate debt liability ($153 million). * Subsequent to quarter-end, committed €100 million ($112 million) to the Brookfield European Real Estate Partnership, a new Brookfield Asset Management (BAM)-sponsored open-ended private real estate fund focused on acquiring a diversified collection of high-quality properties and portfolios in Western Europe.  This fund closed on its maiden investment in the second quarter with the acquisition of 42 Paridis, a 66,000-square-foot office building in central Paris for €102 ($111) million (€14 ($15) million at BPY's share).____________________________ 1 In-place rents reflect retail tenants <10K square feet Balance Sheet UpdateTo increase liquidity and extend the maturity of our debt, during the second quarter we executed the following financing transactions: * Refinanced 655 New York Ave. in Washington, DC for $494 million with a two-year (five years fully extended) mortgage at a floating interest rate of LIBOR +2.25%, generating net proceeds of $106 million. * Refinanced Silver Spring Metro Plaza in Maryland for $110 million with a five-year mortgage at a floating interest rate of LIBOR +2.25%, generating net proceeds of $2 million. * Financed first phase of Halley Rise — a 352-unit high-rise multifamily building in Reston, VA — with a three-year (five years fully extended) construction loan totaling $111 million at a floating interest rate of LIBOR +2.75%. * Financed 1100 Avenue of the Americas in New York for $171 million with a five-year construction loan at a floating interest rate of LIBOR +1.95%. * Extended mortgage maturities for an average of one year on five Core Retail assets totaling approximately $1.2 billion.Ended the quarter with $6.0 billion of group-wide liquidity, including $1.5 billion of cash on hand, $2.8 billion of corporate and subsidiary credit facilities and $1.7 billion of undrawn construction facilities.Substantial Issuer BidOn July 6, 2020, we launched a substantial issuer bid ("SIB") to purchase up to 74,166,670 of BPY’s limited partnership units from public unitholders for a price of $12.00 per unit, for a total value of approximately $890 million.  The SIB is being funded by Brookfield Asset Management and certain of its institutional clients and is set to expire on August 28, 2020. Unit Repurchase ProgramUtilizing our in-place normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”), we purchased 2,641,196 of BPY units in the second quarter of 2020 at an average price of $8.45 per unit.  COVID-19 Relief As an organization, we are continuing to utilize our various real estate locations, human and financial resources to do our part in contributing to the COVID-19 relief efforts around the globe.  To date, Brookfield's global real estate business has donated over $4 million in either cash or supplies to various relief efforts.  We have also expanded our employee matching gift program from a 1:1 to a 2:1 match for employees' donations directed toward pandemic relief efforts. Our efforts to mitigate the pandemic are ongoing and we continue to identify opportunities to contribute.Distribution Declaration The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly distribution on the partnership’s LP units of $0.3325 per unit payable on September 30, 2020 to unitholders of record at the close of business on August 31, 2020.The quarterly distributions on the LP units are declared in U.S. dollars.

J.C. Penney's Landlords May Be Buying the Retailer to Keep It Afloat

  • According to sources said to have direct information, J.C. Penney (NYSE: JCP) may be currently working out a deal to be bought out by its own landlords, Brookfield Property Partners (NASDAQ: BPY) and Simon Property Group (NYSE: SPG). A third company, privately held Authentic Brands Group, LLC, is apparently in alliance with the retailer's landlords to work out an acquisition deal. J.C. Penney recently declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy after store closures from the COVID-19 pandemic sent its already struggling operations into a tailspin.

Mall Landlords, Authentic Brands in Talks to Buy J.C. Penney

  • (Bloomberg) -- The two largest mall landlords and Authentic Brands Group LLC are in talks to buy bankrupt department-store chain J.C. Penney Co., according to people familiar with the matter.Authentic Brands may team up with Simon Property Group Inc. and Brookfield Property Partners LP to acquire the retailer as part of its court reorganization, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the talks are private. The discussions are still fluid and may ultimately end without a deal.J.C. Penney, which filed for Chapter 11 protection in May, has been racing to firm up a business plan by a July 14 deadline, after which the company risks running out of cash to finance its reorganization and emerge from bankruptcy court. The company’s proposed exit plan involves creating two new publicly traded entities, including a real estate investment trust that would hold some of the retailer’s property.For the landlords, buying J.C. Penney would ensure the survival of one of their most ubiquitous tenants amid a wave of retail distress that has seen thousands of stores close permanently. That’s in addition to the pandemic lockdown that shuttered most retailers for months nationwide.Authentic teamed up with Simon and Brookfield to buy teen clothing chain Forever 21 out of bankruptcy earlier this year. And Authentic and Simon are also in discussions with Brooks Brothers Inc. on a joint bid that would be part of a potential bankruptcy filing by that clothing retailer, Bloomberg News reported last week.Brookfield, the second-largest U.S. mall operator after Simon, in May announced the creation of a $5 billion fund to buy stakes in retailers.Authentic also owns Aeropostale after teaming up with the mall landlords to buy that brand out of bankruptcy in 2016. Its growing portfolio could be a boon to J.C. Penney if licensed product from those retailers were added to the department store’s lineup.Private equity firm Sycamore Partners has also held preliminary talks to buy J.C. Penney, weighing an acquisition outright or making an investment in the retailer, Reuters reported earlier this month.J.C. Penney’s remaining value includes its owned real estate and intellectual property from its private brands, according to David Silverman, a retail analyst at Fitch Ratings.“The different companies that are potentially looking into J.C. Penney have different capabilities and options given the real estate that J.C. Penney has and the suitors’ potential use with it,” Silverman said.(Adds context on company’s reorganization plan in third paragraph and commentary from an analyst in the last paragraph.

3 “Strong Buy” Dividend Stocks Yielding at Least 7%

  • Volatility is the name of the game right now. Last week, markets had their worst close since March, despite a Friday rally. The S&P; 500 lost 6% on Thursday, the index’s worst trading day in three months, and finished the week down 4.8%.Worries about a new spike in coronavirus cases, along with racially charged urban rioting, have put investors in a selling mood. But remember the old cliché, that the Chinese word for crisis is composed of the symbols for ‘danger’ and ‘opportunity?’ The market’s gyrations these last few trading sessions have given income-minded investors an opportunity, if they are willing to shoulder some risk.The question for investors, of course, is where will the market head next? Are the gains returning, or is this just the next hill of the roller coaster? Uncertainty is the only certainty, making defensive moves, toward dividend stocks, a smart play for investors. Using the TipRanks database, we’ve pulled up three Strong Buy stocks that show a combination of dividend yields from 7% to 11% and considerable upside potential. While buying into stocks during a downturn is inherently risky, the upside on these three – and their high-yielding dividends – makes the risk worthwhile.Brookfield Property Partners (BPY)We’ll start in the real estate business, where Brookfield holds one of the world’s largest portfolios in office, retail, multifamily dwellings, industrial parks, hospitality, student housing – there is hardly a sector that Brookfield does not have a finger in. The company owns high-end office space in New York and Los Angeles, as well as London, Sydney, and Toronto. The student housing portfolio includes 5,700 beds in the UK university system. The retail segment includes Saks Fifth Avenue in downtown Manhattan.So, Brookfield is not an ordinary real estate company. Its highly diversified portfolio provided some insulation from the COVID-19 pandemic, and the company reported $309 million in total Funds From Operations (FFO) in Q1 – in line with the year-ago results. General depreciation in the real estate market pushed the net income into negative territory, and BPY showed a loss of 49 cents per share for the quarter.At the same time, Brookfield has maintained its dividend payment. Even facing a severe net loss, management remains committed, for the time being, to its shareholder return policy. The current dividend, at 33.25 cents per share quarterly, gives an annualized payment of $1.33 and an impressive yield of 11.9%. Compare this to the 2.2% average yield among financial sector peer companies, or the 2% average yield found on the S&P; 500, and the attraction is clear.CIBC analyst Dean Wilkinson acknowledges Brookfield’s tough business landscape during the pandemic – but points out that “April rent collections in the office and multifamily portfolios averaged above 90%. While retail collections were about 20%, it is important to note that lease obligations are contractual agreements; retailers cannot simply walk away from rental payments, and we expect that a material portion of the 80% of uncollected rent to date will, in time, be honoured through payment plans that are currently in negotiation.”Wilkinson's $18 price target on BPY stock implies a one-year upside potential of 62%, and fully supports his Buy rating on the stock. (To watch Wilkinson’s track record, click here)Overall, Wall Street appears to agree with Wilkinson here. BPY shares have 5 recent analyst reviews, and of those 4 are Buy and only 1 a Hold – making the analyst consensus view a Strong Buy. Shares are priced at $11.13, and the average price target of $15.05 suggests the stock has room for 35% upside growth in the coming year. (See Brookfield stock analysis on TipRanks)Brigham Minerals (MNRL)The next stock on our list, Brigham Minerals, is mineral rights acquisition company focused on the oil and gas sector in the US. Brigham’s portfolio includes large acreage in the Bakken Shale of North Dakota, as well as the Delaware and Midland basins of Texas. These are the formations that put North American hydrocarbons on the map in the last decade, and their output has transformed the US into a major energy exporter.MNRL saw earnings dip in Q1, mainly due to the coronavirus-inspired shutdowns, but EPS remained positive at 14 cents per share. Quarterly production rose by 8% sequentially, to 10,400 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) per day. The company saw royalty revenue of $28.4 million, with nearly two-thirds of that total coming from Permian holdings. Brigham has been adjusting its dividend over the past year, with the current quarterly payment set at 37 cents per share. This annualizes to $1.48, and gives the stock a dividend yield of 11.5%. Peer companies in the energy sector average a yield of just 1.9%, while Treasury bonds, the traditional ‘safe’ investment, are yielding below 1% up to 10-year terms. MNRL’s return simply blows away the alternatives.SunTrust analyst Welles Fitzpatrick sees MNRL as a clear choice for investors. He writes, “MNRL turned in a 1Q beat on higher than expected lease bonuses, and in contrast to the rest of the industry paid out all its discretionary cashflow. The company's timely offering in 4Q allows the unlevered balance sheet to shine. While MNRL will see declines in rigs and production this year the company should be able to maintain a high percent of CF distributed.”Fitzpatrick’s Buy rating on the stock is supported by his $16 price target, suggesting a solid 24% upside potential. (To watch Fitzpatrick’s track record, click here.)The analyst consensus here, at Strong Buy rating, is based on 6 Buy and 2 Hold reviews set in recent weeks. MNRL shares are trading for $12.85; the average price target, at $14.57, indicates a 20% upside for the stock. (See Brigham Minerals stock analysis on TipRanks)Umpqua Holdings (UMPQ)Last on our list for today is Umpqua, a holding company based in Portland, Oregon. Umpqua’s main subsidiary is Oregon’s Umpqua Bank. The bank provides asset management, mortgage banking, and general financial services in commercial and retail banking for corporate, institutional, and individual customers. The bank has locations across Oregon, as well as Washington State, Idaho, Nevada, and California.The first quarter – the coronavirus quarter – was hard on Umpqua. The company reported a net loss of $28.3 million, or 13 cents per share. Management laid the loss – the company’s worst report after a two-year run of profitable quarters – squarely on the COVID-19 pandemic and crisis. The company has been able to switch many non-customer-facing employees to remote work, while keeping over 95% bank branches open. Looking ahead, UMPQ is expected to show a 17-cent EPS profit in Q2.Through the coronavirus crisis, UMPQ has kept up its dividend. The company has a 7-year history of reliable dividend growth, and announced its most recent dividend payment back in March. They payment, made in April, was 21 cents per share. At 84 cents annualized, this gives UMPQ shares a dividend yield of 7.15%. This is more than 3.5x the average found among S&P; listed companies, and also significantly higher than most peer companies’ payments.Reviewing the stock for SunTrust Robinson was analyst Michael Young. He backed his Buy rating on the stock with a $13 price target, showing confidence in a 11% upside potential. (To watch Young’s track record, click here)Backing his stance, Young looked closely at the bank’s loan portfolio, writing, “Very granular portfolio, average loan size is under $1 million. The loan portfolio consists of very low leverage clients relative to competitors according to management... We do note that UMPQ has a larger multifamily loan concentration, but this is also likely one of the best performing CRE asset classes through a recession.” Overall, Wall Street analysts are thoroughly impressed with UMPQ. It boasts 100% Street support, or 3 Buy ratings in the last three months, making the consensus a Strong Buy. Meanwhile, the $13.67 average price target implies that shares could surge nearly 22% in the next twelve months.
