Boston Properties Inc. revised financial targets for the year,
cutting its profit forecast but raising another key metric,
following mixed first-quarter results.
The real-estate investment trust, which focuses on office space,
reported profit fell to $100.7 million, or 63 cents a share, from
$178.6 million, or $1.14 a share, a year earlier. The most recent
results included a roughly $24 million impairment loss tied to a
property in New Jersey that lowered profit but didn't affect funds
from operations, a key industry metric.
FFO rose to $1.72 a share from $1.49 a share a year earlier.
The company had projected 66 cents to 68 cents and FFO of $1.66
to $1.68 a share.
Revenue rose to $725.8 million from $661.2 million a year
earlier, ahead of analysts' projected $693 million.
The company now expects profit this year to range from $2.95 to
$3.02 a share and FFO to range from $6.95 to $7.02 a share,
compared with its earlier view of $3.05 to $3.17 a share in profit
and $6.88 to $7 a share in FFO.
