Q1 2021 RPT Realty Earnings Call

[music].

Greetings and welcome to RPT Realty first quarter 2021 earnings conference call.

I Hope you and your families are all well.

We were happy to of kicked off the new year and strong fashion.

Ah rent collections continued to take higher we continued to benefit from the multiyear mark to market opportunity and strong demand at our centers. We recently closed on our net new net lease platform and.

And are now under contract on our first property and the Boston market that we expect to allocate between rpt's balance sheet and the new platform.

We believe we now have the capital and the platforms to generate strong external growth as well as the portfolio of quality and leasing demand to drive the above trend internal growth as we move past the pandemic.

While the pandemic has created many hardships. It is also created opportunities that we have been able to capitalize on.

For instance, COVID-19 has had a negative impact on many tenant categories.

But unlike during the global financial crisis does also had a positive impact of many other tenant categories like grocery home improvement electronics wholesale clubs general merchandise and medical use.

There's also boosted some businesses that we're struggling pre pre pandemic like pets office supply and hobby.

Ironically, many of the big box tenants that we're not in favor of pre pandemic have thrived.

Enough. So that we think credit center is the more apt description for the power Center category.

One of the biggest opportunities that we saw after the onset of COVID-19, what's an acceleration of the widening valuation gap between different segments of retail real estate.

Platform.

Here, we are buying of Premier shopping center that upon close will be accretive to Rpt's earnings from day one.

But by selling parcels to <unk>, we have the opportunity to materially lower our basis and enhance our yield.

Our expectations are that we can sell up to $75 million of the centers of <unk> Z, resulting in a significantly reduced basis for RPT.

Consistent with our thesis regarding the value dislocation between multi tenant net lease properties.

Our effective acquisition yield on the retained multi tenant asset.

Could improve by up to 300 basis points after the acquisition and personalization processes close.

There is real synergy between RPT and the new platform that benefits both sides in a way that is difficult to replicate.

For our Gen Z they get access to high quality tenants and the location with household incomes of about $148000 that no other triple net investor as access to.

The RPT, we gain entry into the attractive Boston MSA and the.

The deal that we would likely of past on without the potential parcel sales to <unk>.

Equally important is that of asset net lease platform as manager RPT of maintains equal control of the net lease components of the center.

This type of control is not available to multi tenant owners that sell pads to unaffiliated entities.

The synergies of the two platforms give us a unique opportunity that we believe will result in outside of the future earnings growth.

We look forward to providing more details on the north per hour and subsequent parcel sales over the next several weeks.

Turning to our acquisition pipeline since we announced our net lease platform. We are engaged with many of you in a consistent question that comes up is how quickly we can deploy the capital raised at both our <unk> and RTG joint ventures.

Keep in mind that while we only recently announced <unk> Z we.

By buying under market rents are properties with the redevelopment opportunities.

Tyler Sorenson who's heading up acquisitions for the net lease platform brings a wealth of the experienced RPT that we believe will further accelerate our net lease acquisition program kind of our pipeline.

Last quarter, we outline of 11 remerchandise the opportunities consisting of redo my zing expansions for combinations.

Well the exact lifts will fluctuate as deals move into and out of the pipeline. These larger leasing deals continue to reflect the best risk adjusted use of our capital and we will allocate accordingly.

We have made very good progress since last quarter with the grocery deal of Troy marketplace moving from the Shadow pipeline.

To the act of pipeline.

Three other projects were also added this quarter, bringing the total and progress pipeline to over 13 million with expected returns in the high single digits.

It's no secret the COVID-19 put pressure on certain experiential tenants.

But as I noted earlier this pressure has created opportunities as was the case that are Troy marketplace property outside of the Detroit.

True marketplace, the dominant power center, but is maintain the high level of occupancy throughout the pandemic was 97% leased at quarter and.

Because of COVID-19 impact on our recreation tenant we are able to get the space back without a buyout and replace them with the new Premier first to state investment grade grocer.

We were able to generate an 88% rent spread.

On the new leaf.

Although the incremental return on capital is tighter than our typical underwriting we believe that attracting of premier grocer. At this already strong center will create significant value via capric compression of almost 200 basis points and position the asset for success for years to come.

As I've previously said, we see a lot of value creation from the addition of of grocery component to these credit centers.

And are looking forward to executing more of these.

We also continue to see strong leasing demand from our former Stein Mart space in Saint Louis.

And are now at least negotiation with the leading retailer.

At Winchester in Detroit, we're finalizing of leaf with of quality of national off price tenant to take our only other Stein Mart box.

Florida has continued to be a robust leasing market for RPT.

We are seeing great activity across the board of our centers within the state and are close to deals that will significantly upgrade the tenant credit at west Broward and shops at Lakeland.

There is also strong demand at the marketplace of del Rey, which is creating friction at this property that could result in the significant improvement and the tenant mix.

Before I turn the call over to Mike I wanted to touch on our development program.

As we continued to move past the heart of the pandemic.

We are again revisiting our development program, we had put on hold pretty COVID-19.

Although we are still not ready to put shovels in the ground just yet we haven't reengage with potential partners on a few of our properties that we previously flagged for potential residential use in Florida.

We are seeing extremely strong demand for residential at both river City and Parkway shops in Jacksonville.

As we have stated in the past, although the highest and best use of certain parts of our centers may not be retail we will remain focus on our core retail competencies and we'll look to monetize non retail components through ground leases land sales for free.

Potentially even land contributions and the partnerships with leading residential players to retain some future upside.

With that I'll turn the call over to Mike.

Thanks, Brian and good morning, everyone. Today will discuss our first quarter results are strong balance sheet and liquidity position and that'll of commentary on our updated guidance first.

First quarter operating of of faux per share 19 was of once the vs last quarter driven by our improving right questions as the experienced the decline in retina probable collection and the basement, which totaled three $2 million of the quarter down from for $4 million last quarter.

Further.

As disclose on page 33 of our supplemental our first quarter of rental income excluding prior year of mouth has picked up since last quarter and now only down 5% from first core of 2020. Despite the continued non payment of our theater tenants who of remain closed since the onset of the pandemic are for Regal R. Slid. The open late may occur.

For about 75% of our total theater exposure given Regal is reopening plans and the recent liquidity infusions, we expect in our forecast and resumption of rent payments in the next few weeks.

We continue to think of conservative stance with uncollected right in the reserves nearly 80% of our uncollected first quarter recurring billings. Additionally, we effectively of no exposure to tenants in bankruptcy less in the portfolio as a core around $18 million of a recurrent billions of of the trailing 12 months remain outstanding of which 12.

Has been reserved with the majority of the 6 million dollar balance expect to be repaid over the course of 21 and 2022.

Operationally, we continue to execute and put runs on the board. We started 2021 of high note.

So on a 62 deals in the quarter covering 556000 square feet. This was the highest number of of deal side and a quarter and almost two years blended rent. The president were up 9% as we achieved of 51% comparable new lease spread our best quarterly spread in almost three years, driven by our Troy marketplace grocery deal of.

Hi, Brian previously noted.

While the Ti related to the deal was outside it was more than offset by the value of nearly $20 million that was created by cap for a compression excluding the steel our new lease spread would have been up 26% highlighting the solid broad based demand and mark to market opportunities in our portfolio or renewal spread.

The also continue to improve of three 9%, making the the third consecutive quarter of improving renewal spreads.

Given our strong leasing activity, we end of the first quarter with the sign that open backlog of three 3 million the majority of which will come online over the next 12 months.

We also have a full pipeline of deals with over 2 million of leases advanced legal negotiations.

Additionally, as Brian touched on we've identified several of the merchandising deals that will generate well into double digit return on costs. In addition to cap for a compression across certain properties and the spirit of transparency. We of outline these active and pipeline remerchandise of opportunities on page 19, and 20 of our supplemental.

Occupancy for the quarter with 96% 90 basis points sequentially due primarily for the proactive and planned recapture of our space of our Troy marketplace and west proud of properties that will facilitate new grocery of deal.

Give our lack of bankruptcy exposure in the portfolio are signed that open backlog are robust leasing pipeline and Ah remerchandise and opportunities. We believe occupancy has prop and expected to trek upward over the next several quarters as we marched towards the re stabilization of our portfolio.

The closing of the first trance of the initial seed sales to our net lease platform benefit of both of our leverage and liquidity levels and the quarter. We ended the first quarter with net debt to annualize adjusted EBITDA of seven two times down from seven six times last quarter looking forward, we continue to target leverage and the 5565 times range, which will be driven.

By the normalization of EBITDA as the impacts of COVID-19 reversed course, and 21 and 2022, the stabilization of our portfolio and his future tranches of the <unk> of clothes and 2021. However, it is important to keep in mind that the timing of acquisitions and subsequent net leaves the parcel sales may of us.

<unk> impact and reported quarterly leveraged level.

From a liquidity perspective, we end of the first quarter with the cash balance of the $143 million and are fully unused $350 million unsecured line of credit, including the expected proceeds from the remaining <unk> sales are pro forma cash balance would be about $250 million and short we have all the war chest of cash and of.

Deep acquisition pipeline that we expect will generate strong external growth for RPT shareholders.

Regarding our pending debt maturities through 2022, we have just 137 million private placement note the mature than June and of $52 million of mortgage the pre payable started in November and carry the above market five 7% interest rate based on the positive feedback from our unsecured debt partners.

We expect the refinance both of these notes later this year. However, given are strong liquidity position and as an interim step we may repair 37 million private placement note due in June ahead of our expect the refinancing.

As with any debt issuance, we look to maintain of flat maturity ladder of the goal of having no more than 15 per cent of our debt stack maturing in any given year.

The last topic of going to touch on is our update of 2021 off of both per share guidance of 81 to 89, which is up the <unk> at the midpoint of our price prior guidance range of 77 the 87.

Our updated range include the impact from the sale of remaining tranches of initial <unk> also assumed in our forecasts are $100 million of medical physicians at our pro rata share included in this assumption is the growth purchase price of north for all that is expected the clothes in the second quarter. However is important to again note.

That we expect the cell certain at least parcel at north world to <unk> in the fourth quarter that will lower basis of the prime months of the.

The net impact of the initial seat sales and net acquisition activity of of $100 million is expected to add two of upside relative to the midpoint of prior guidance the.

The other plenty of upside stems from outperformance in the first quarter that we are not projecting in the future periods.

Like last quarter the range of around the midpoint of our updated guidance is largely driven by our performance in the bad debt front, particularly from our theaters also it should be noted that our guidance of not include any assumptions of recovery for prior period bad debt or straight line the rent reserves and lastly, although we of $100 million of net acquisitions form of.

The built into guidance, we believe we can deploy as much as 250 million into opportunistic acquisitions within our target markets that meet our disciplined underwriting standard representing upside to our guidance range and with that I'll turn the call back to the operator to open the lines for questions.

Thank you at this time, we will conduct a question and answer session. If you would like to ask a question. Please press star one on the telephone keypad.

The confirmation to indicate your line as in the question queue.

You May press current too if you would like to remove your question from the queue for.

For participants you can speak we equipment it may be necessary to pick up your handset before parts of the snarky.

Once again, that's star one from asking the question at this time.

One moment, while we pull conference question.

Our first question comes from David Thomson with the Ultimate. Please proceed with the question.

Alright, everybody good morning.

For the details on the <unk>.

In the opening for Brian what's the criteria, how do you decide which basket were of platform to utilize for acquisitions either on balance sheet for within the JV three strong partners out of the mall.

Dates of Barry how do you envision of the mix in the building.

Great.

Hi, Derek and the good morning, and thank you for that question.

So really since December of 19, and equity basis alone, we've raised $800 million of committed capital for our investments.

This was done to transform the footprint and portfolio of the company and really for the following three point.

One diversify cash flow investment grade and growth.

To increase of.

Accretively three day.

<unk> growth capital and the higher growth assets.

We did bring in in the early 2020 of data scientists that I've set up of proprietary asset management.

Scoring card model that will help us be disciplined and our acquisitions. So really the way I would think about this is we of balance sheet, RTG, which of the GIC JV and the new net lease platform, all with very disciplined focus and.

And the way I would think about the cadence would be the to the one ratio between balance sheet and our jv's.

And really if you look at northborough at the balance sheet and <unk> as an example, where roughly buying north northborough at of seven cap day, one accretive.

We spend 75 million to our GMC and RPT is left with of 10 yield.

Once the two new <unk> concepts open.

The center sits in a very high Barrett the entry market with of 148000 household income.

It was the first wegmans and the state now number one wegmans and the state and the Boston MSA.

The jays and all of the tenants to extremely well as well.

Post spin we are left with 50%.

For T J concepts.

Out of 10 yield.

That is extremely compelling for our balance sheet and extremely compelling to our investors.

RTG is focused on core grocery.

As mentioned previously the fees associated with this JV Ah roughly 50 bps.

Which obviously helps with the pricing these.

These are core grocery centers and our strategic markets with the top sovereign wealth as our partner.

And then <unk> Z as I mentioned in our prepared remarks in addition of being a complimentary partner with the.

The balance sheet, we are focused on build the suits sale leasebacks blend of extends and one off buys.

You blend all of these platforms the gathered Derek and of forms of consortium that can syndicate and a very very unique way for a range.

There'll be one of five.

And I wouldn't be surprised if you see several portfolio deals that could be syndicated to all three platforms.

So we are focused on the three but really see this as of two to one ratio for balance sheet first of our Jv's.

Great Great color. Thank you.

Just two two quick ones the one.

Hundred 40 basis point drop in small shop occupancy was pretty noticeable acceleration from previous quarters, I guess simply what drove the decrease.

Yeah the.

This is Michael throw the.

Decreases the seasonal move out the.

Matter of intent.

And then number two.

As we noted in the release with the sell the first trial for the initial fee of about 40 million of.

The triple net assets the the contributed to or at least platform that also contributed of of 10 of 20 basis points of deceleration and the occupancy rate for small shops.

Okay, Great I do see that trough in in the quarter.

Derek for small shops, and total occupancy and see of modesty taken up over the year as we continue to re stabilized portfolio.

Okay. Okay makes sense and then just T I's came in.

Pretty pretty high at 124 per square foot I mean, we're assuming it's a it's a big box transition to the grocer, but can you just let us know what what the actual drivers behind the square.

Yeah absolutely.

You just alluded to your spot on.

It has to do with the grocer deal that we did in the Detroit market. The first of the market.

High quality of credit growth for that we can't name right now, but hopefully at some point, we can name of the future. It was tied to talk with the deal and whenever you're doing a.

A lease transaction or year taken of non grocery of space or to two grocery space of where you're reading margin spaces of where your bindings basis, you're going to have the hydro ti cost for.

But the great thing with this.

This deal is one of the rents part of the about 90 per cent or so and then too we.

The increase the value of the property by about some of the basis for it in terms of the Catholic compression, which created about 20 million of value for that center. So great value creation for the company of Derek We're excited to get the name out when we're allowed to and and really this was as I said the prepared remarks and this was.

One of the positives of COVID-19 of where since I've been here I've been trying to get at the space, which was $8.30 gross to combine spaces, creating roughly of 40000 square foot flagship investment grade first to stake rocher.

Which we are <unk>.

Extremely excited about.

Excellent. Thank you everyone.

Thanks for the.

Of our next question comes from Todd Thomas with Keybanc capital peaceful.

That's true.

Hi, Good morning first question, Mike just the clarification around the guidance.

The one any of those.

Outperformance of the quarter I think that you outline of the guidance provision I think the minutes of depends.

Not hiring what was that.

Beautiful.

And can you just clarify that perhaps yes. The primary is primarily due to prior year adjustments related to recovery buildings associated with arcane effects billing.

Billing.

Okay.

And then.

Is there anything I can sort of operationally that offsets.

I guess the improved out to some extent the sound like the outlet.

Typically thinking the.

Yeah.

Towards the commentary from legal expect it to begin paying rent.

I think it's a little bit earlier than previously anticipated I'm just curious if there.

Brown either of the re.

Okay, Here's our otherwise that that was not previously anticipated.

Let me look beyond the the obligates slightly better for for bad that we did.

The unexpected during the quarter relative for our own expectations.

That's nine document continues to pick up a bit we're going to have probably relative to the first quarter of time, you'll have about two cents of outside and based around from.

So I am not come out.

And then based on our expectations today.

Relative to the the first quarter of running range of about Threepenny news of.

Upside in bed and.

The more favorable better and less abatements, that's the right side of the theaters.

The our for Regal theaters of the the messenger more prepared remarks are going to open it up in a few weeks.

And it's our expectation based on our discussions with.

And the deal that restart the they're going to be of paying contract run in the second half of the year.

Okay.

Paul and Brian.

In terms of the.

The competition for some of these larger asset perhaps I guess the northborough deal for example, there's been a lack of transaction activity in some of these centres over the last couple of years really are you seeing.

And the change in demand for these.

Do you feel that you have.

Okay.

The.

Properties.

The execute without much.

Outside competition.

Yes.

Competition no dot net.

The debt market of of and competitions, there I think.

Advantage as we've been cultivating the pipelines since may of 20, when we knew.

And had an idea of that test.

<unk> the platform was going to go into fruition.

So this was the deal of that was marketed pre COVID-19 and was purchase on and off market deal.

There's a lot of others in the pipeline that are true off markets.

Some of our with institutions.

In larger portfolio deals, where we could potentially syndicate between plaiting a balance sheet.

GIC platform and our GMC.

And we're credible buyer.

Because of that and.

And I think that when we show up for an acquisition. We now have the arrow that no one else has.

And that could help with price and as well.

So the way I look at North for are aware extremely high Barrett entry with.

Top performing tenants in the MSA, we have more of those in the pipeline and the pipeline is becoming clearer every every day and and ask you said, we fully expect to be.

To surpass our our guidance on the acquisitions.

Okay, where do you think I think you mentioned, 7% cafe all of our.

Sorry.

What is the.

That changed at all.

The word.

Mkay.

And do you think of anything.

Compared I think.

I think it hung around the for EM obviously the.

The movement in the essential Triple net.

Is terrific.

And that's a very very competitive world right now and when you look at the.

Attractive debt you can get a lot of those assets that's opened up a lot of.

Of being an unlimited supply of of liquidity.

That space.

So I think the center kind of hung in the desk.

Definitely sauce.

Some capric compression.

In.

Essential guidance and and I think the platform and the investors are getting it at.

Very very attractive yield as well.

Okay. Thank you.

Thank you.

Our next question comes from Cramps.

Oh please.

Great. Thank you.

I'm just wondering.

Do you think just the.

Good.

It's the probability that someone else will replicate your.

Nice net.

The platform.

Or do you have some advantages.

He can replicate it.

Yes, I think I've been credit the interesting thing is this has been going on for 40 years, right and and the private markets.

And when you look at the developers and selling off to the land off the Walmart or target for the pads and building the small shop for the boxes. This.

This has been going on in the private world for Awhile, but this does the public space is gives investors that access and that availability to achieve.

Very very attractive yields.

I think this.

Certainly could be replicated I think it would be difficult I think the combination of GIC monarch and Zimmer together.

It is difficult to replicate.

This is a year in the making.

And this was something that.

Took took a long time in our pipeline is large and we've got off to a very very quick start, which we knew and paid a lot of attention to as we were cultivating the deal in the first place.

And the second to go out of their control Craig.

Have 644% interest in the police platform the eighth of.

Of our circle.

To our control of rights.

Equal voting right <unk>.

Leasing the development buying selling we have of ROFO.

On the on that lease.

Ponant, so we really control of the value creation on the.

The side of the assets and off of the moment, but on RPT balance sheet. So that's a very unique I think it's also hard to replicate the you don't see with other recent our space.

Okay. Thank you and then.

And the.

The the marketplace.

And even they can see with the Ah.

National Center, maybe you can tell us what you've seen in that for a minute.

You comfortable to retain the to it.

Yeah, I mean I think.

It depends on the markets and the depends on the the credit and the tenants I mean personally.

I'm pretty comfortable with your la fitness as in some of the boutiques as well as planet in certain markets.

It's of patents, it's a case by case, it's understanding the competition in that market. We have seen in our particular in Florida, good snap back with the health and fitness concepts.

And they are saying good levels of traffic. So we're seeing boots on the ground all of our assets.

Activity in certain parts of the the country that's of regards to fitness thankfully.

Thank you.

Yes. Thank you.

Our next question comes from the men to tie with Jeffrey. Please proceed.

Hi, good morning, it looks like that's the EBITDA Kingdom this quarter.

EBITDA improved how do you expect this to change as you continue to employ cash proceeds you Archie in the trenches Clinton feature personalization.

Could this metric bounce around over the next few quarters.

Sure Good morning, Linda.

Very good and the call wanting to just the level of that everybody of that in our long term target range is five and a half of six five time of.

Also important to note given the strategic joint voucher Zoe the completed over the last 15 months for $250 million of of.

Works out of the capital that we raise the opportunity redeploy this in the high thing with the the cap right at the it really gives us of external lever level to get to.

That part of the have six five times much much quicker than we would have.

Of the power of the platforms of say often around here, but.

That said we are at some 0.2 times today the.

The just noted window that will trend downward over time.

We returned the stabilization of the portfolio and we.

Execute on our external for about preparative, but.

End of pointed out of it will be choppy.

Quarter to quarter North of all of the Great example.

Put on the on our balance sheet and the second quarter of just over $100 million.

Or so for you and see our leverage pick out likely in the second quarter, but that once we sell those select of components of of the center of the $75 million of Brian noted in the the prepared remarks later in the year leverage will take back down.

Thanks, and then just given the improving environment you have better visit.

Documents you might trust.

Yeah of look I think I think we're pretty close to that.

Credit remarks.

We think it's trough here.

And the first quarter and we think it will it will pick up over time.

And the 2021, right where restarted the year at about 91 in the App per cent of solid and Linda important to note that that's apps and any transactions that we complete over the next call nine months here, we are going to be out of acquire as we disclosed.

In our in our guidance that we're going to be acquired about $100 million or so.

And then we are so in about $150 million.

At least five performance that was 98% of occupied somewhat of alluded for the occupancy, but all of the assets that we're looking at within our pipeline.

The other Brian talk in great detail ear Q&A in the prepared remarks.

Those centers are 90 495 per cent occupy the very creative to where we stand today, so that'll be it but that'll be a moving target that will that will impact dark.

Yes organically again, 91 591 of half over the year and just organically Linda on.

Got pretty good visibility very good visibility on the pipeline.

And I mean, the amount with brochure medical fast casual and <unk> restaurants discount apparel wholesale has never been the stronger since we've been here and that is including when we put up the sector leading results in 20.

Yeah of it in 2019 and spending.

Really a lot of time with the essential tenants home improvements wholesale.

And the really there's a lot of local and regional operators with the entrepreneurial spirit are showing up and they are seeing this as a chance to expand the reach or in some cases start something new for more of the small shops. So we're seeing rover.

Robust demand in all parts of our.

Organization.

Thanks for that.

Yep.

Our next question comes from Florence, Ma'am, Thanks from with come to the point. Please proceed.

Good morning, guys.

Thanks for taking my question.

Obviously the.

You guys have been very innovative here in in the.

Accessing capital.

Through the various.

No.

J vs that you've created the dose complicated things for investors a little bit. So I guess the owners will be on you to explain that very well you've done that you've done the nice job. So for just curious though.

Brian maybe if you can.

The the.

It appears that some of the lower growth.

Portions of your portfolio will go into some of these gv's in the I'm thinking grocery anchored.

And I certainly the the net lease.

Segments.

As you look at five years.

Where do you see your small shop percentage as a percentage of the overall space in RPT would that go up.

Instantly and does that make your long term growth rate obviously.

Significantly higher than what it's been historically, maybe if you can give some more color.

How you see the company evolving over time.

Yeah of and this was this was part of.

The recipe is to increase small shop and the.

The battle ships of.

Huge credit.

Are parked in a in a battle ship garage with our venture.

And to give you kind of context north federal.

Pre.

Pre spin if you will 15%.

Small shop.

Post spin.

3500, 36% small shop at 36% small shop has much more contractual rent increases.

So we see Flores a much more robust.

Growth trajectory organically and obviously externally for the company.

And it is simply syndicating.

Really growth bitch.

Between the two platforms.

For today, our thoughts are presented on the base basis of AVR Flores is low 40%. This will over time as we executed on the strategy and continue to transform the portfolio and break resentments of between the platform.

He'll get north of 50%.

Which will correlate into much much better contracture run increases as part of our core Paul as we move toward today. There are about 125 basis points contribution to our NOI growth profile. We see this based on introductory in front of us in the essence of we're buying the we could get the 200 basis points over time and the new layer on the Mark the market opportunity that we've been <unk>.

Experienced in the portfolio for G. Since we've been here since the June of of 18, and that's another per cent of associate well north of it could be well north of of 3%.

On an annual basis, which is outside of the relative to our per so.

Thanks, guys.

And then maybe.

Just the.

Follow up on that particular.

Why why stop the 50 per cent of AVR why why would you not.

The old age 70 per cent or 80% of of of.

Of the AVR or.

50 per cent of your total space being small shop space down the.

Look I think it comes out of the risk management, I think if you're of too much small shop, which of short term leases.

Less national tenants, you might have disruption of your cash flow. So I think 50% at this point is a good target in terms of.

Ah risk adjusted growth profile that we looked at the same Flores, we're not managing to of number though I mean of this.

Is going to be done asset by asset overtime and building by with the growth in mind balanced with credit in mind.

To put us in a long term trajectory for what we believe will be sector leading growth.

Thanks Scott.

Of course.

From our next question comes from like New look with J P. Morgan. Please proceed.

Yes, hi.

I just wanted to touch for guidance here for a second so you were talking about the.

Theaters, starting to pay again and that's obviously the portion of the reserve so when you're looking at guidance, which which peaked in there for against the reserves tied to the theaters that are going to start to pay rent later this month.

Yeah. If you look at all the experienced in the first quarter, Mike I guess, so in about three two main which was two six.

Okay.

Of of Abatements, 60% of the.

Was tied to the theaters and so we and our theater can be open up mid mid may are so we'll have a lot of according to half of some form of payment so you're going to see it the celebration.

And the second quarter, and the and the bed that line item and then of further bigger deceleration in the in the second half of the year as they get to for revenue of.

Based on our expectation and if you look at the other way to look at it to Mike is if you look at our quarterly.

Run right.

Based on Q1 will have about Ah III pick up.

From bad debt.

For the course of the year.

Got it okay. So so basically as the starting to pay the bad debt is going to go away and.

Hit the numbers okay.

Correct.

Got it okay.

That was it thank you.

You bet.

Thank you. Our next question comes from our the Milligan Raymond James Please for seed.

Well good morning goes I was wondering if you could give a little bit more detail on one of the example of north for all you've spent some parts of the loss and what the expected Clark levels of blended cooperate for the parcels you do so.

RJ will provide more color. After we close just obviously since we haven't clothes, we just don't want to get into what cap rate is where and what tenants going staying leaving.

So we will provide some more color in the next few weeks.

Yes.

In terms of the impact of the guidance of.

Relative relative to our our midpoint.

That would provide our fourth quarter called out to now it's about the for plenty of pick up.

But like I said, what we're happy to once we closed the ask the Empire Center and then we southern plus of components to to the platform will talk through.

Obviously at that point of what we sold our thesis.

And rationale on the more rationale on the transaction.

Okay, and then maybe just thinking about longer term are for.

Parceling off some some of these are just probably more investment grade or or anchor type tenants.

Can you talk about the value, but you're supposed to be less wins for the remaining property how does the impulse the desirability of potential future borrowers what kind of of comprehends the emerging getting to obtain yields on the remaining.

What do you think you could sell a lot of core.

I mean, I think it actually capric compresses tremendously.

We bought Austin Lake Hills in Austin December of 2019, Shadow anchor target and one of the best intersections in the city for five and a half cat.

We didn't non the target box it was for.

For percent NOI, CAGR, 27, ABR and of $42 market.

We are what we would have left at northborough still is over roughly 50% investment grade.

With for TJ Max concepts of.

Small shop old Navy.

So we feel very bullish and we feel that it could be of great cap right, even compression just because of the more of liquidity and high investment grade tendency.

Okay. That's it for me of places thank.

Thank you all day.

Our next question comes from Peter Herman with being please proceed.

The other one how many more opportunities are they're itchy capture spaces like you did in Detroit this quarter and with the Capex requirements be as high as they weren't with these opportunities. Thank you.

Thanks.

There's a lot and.

Some of those.

A lot of the spaces were old tired neglected spaces that were call at mid single ticket rent.

Staring at one in west per hour at at $6 13 of sense, that's not going to be as high of of Ta because that's.

A grocery of taking one existing box the edge.

Elevated cost for the deal in Troy was really a lot of the combination of the two spaces, creating a 40000 square foot flagship.

Looking at.

Another.

Yes support the office supply of store that we're looking at combining another space of which is currently a vacancy those combined spaces are 11 Bucks.

We expect to get.

Close to low twenties and rent from the new tenant so we don't see.

This type of cost.

The highest costs, but we feel a lot of value upside on on the rent and really capric compression of adding these groceries.

That's helpful. Thank you.

Thank you.

There are no further questions in queue at this time I would like to turn the call back over to Mister Bryan Harper for clothing.

Yeah. Just appreciate everybody's time, thank you all for listening and looking for it to hopefully seeing many of you physically for the first time in quite some time.
