COLUMBIA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--COPT Defense Properties ("COPT Defense" or the "Company") (NYSE: CDP) announced results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024.
Management Comments
Stephen E. Budorick, COPT Defense's President & Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our Defense/IT investment strategy, which concentrates our portfolio near priority U.S. defense installations, continued to generate excellent results in 2024. The success of our differentiated strategy is evident in our occupancy rate of 93.6%, which is roughly 700 basis points higher than the Office sector, while occupancy in our Defense/IT Portfolio is even higher at 95.6%. We generated FFO per share growth of 6.2%, our second highest annual growth rate since 2015, which was driven by record performance in our Same Property portfolio, placing highly leased developments into service, and achieving our highest tenant retention rate in over 20 years of 86%.
We achieved a milestone in 2024 as we executed on our first acquisitions since 2015. We leveraged our investment-grade rated balance sheet to execute on several strategic and opportunistic investments, which serve to strengthen our relationship with the U.S. Government and top defense contractors, and will be accretive to shareholder value. The operating assets were acquired at significant discounts to replacement cost and provide strong going-in cash yields, while the development land provides an opportunity to expand our data center shell portfolio over the medium to long term.
We have generated FFO per share growth in each of the past six years, which amounts to a compound annual growth rate of 4.8% between 2019 to 2024. Looking forward, our guidance implies continued growth in 2025, with FFO per share growth of 3.5% at the midpoint, generated by continued strong performance of our portfolio."
