1.Organization

Alexander’s, Inc. (NYSE: ALX) is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), incorporated in Delaware, engaged in leasing, managing, developing and redeveloping its properties. All references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “Company” and “Alexander’s” refer to Alexander’s, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. We are managed by, and our properties are leased and developed by, Vornado Realty Trust (“Vornado”) (NYSE: VNO). We have six properties in New York City.

2.Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the accounts of Alexander’s and its consolidated subsidiaries. All adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC.

We have made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

We operate in one reportable segment.

3.Recently Issued Accounting Literature

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update (“ASU 2020-04”) establishing Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 848 (“ASC 848”), Reference Rate Reform. ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. We have elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. In December 2022 the FASB issued accounting standard update 2022-06 that defers the sunset of ASC 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. We continue to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) accounted for revenue of $29,516,000 and $27,518,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, representing approximately 56% of our rental revenues in each period. No other tenant accounted for more than 10% of our rental revenues. If we were to lose Bloomberg as a tenant, or if Bloomberg were to be unable to fulfill its obligations under its lease, it would adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In order to assist us in our continuing assessment of Bloomberg’s creditworthiness, we receive certain confidential financial information and metrics from Bloomberg. In addition, we access and evaluate financial information regarding Bloomberg from other private sources, as well as publicly available data.

5.Asset Held For Sale

On March 8, 2023, we entered into an agreement to sell the Rego Park III land parcel in Queens, New York, for $71,060,000 inclusive of consideration for Brownfield tax benefits and reimbursement of costs for plans, specifications and improvements to date. The sale, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2023. The financial statement gain will be approximately $54,000,000.

As of March 31, 2023, the $13,794,000 carrying value of the property was classified as "Asset held for sale" on our consolidated balance sheets.

8.Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”) defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities as well as certain U.S. Treasury securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in secondary markets; Level 2 – observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 – unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

Financial assets measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023 consist of U.S. Treasury bills (classified as available-for-sale) and interest rate derivatives which are presented in the table below based on their level in the fair value hierarchy. There were no financial liabilities measured at fair value as of March 31, 2023.

As of December 31, 2022 our investments in U.S. Treasury bills had an aggregate accreted value of $267,809 prior to being marked to fair value and had remaining maturities of less than one year.

Interest Rate Derivatives

We recognize the fair value of all interest rate derivatives in “other assets” or “other liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets and since all of our interest rate derivatives have been designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income. The table below summarizes our interest rate derivatives, all of which hedge the interest rate risk attributable to the variable rate debt noted as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.


		Fair Value as of				As of March 31, 2023

(1)SOFR cap strike rate of 4.15%

(2)LIBOR cap strike rate of 6.00%

Financial Assets and Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value

Financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets include cash equivalents and mortgages payable. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to their short-term maturities and are classified as Level 1. The fair value of our mortgages payable is calculated by discounting the future contractual cash flows of these instruments using current risk-adjusted rates available to borrowers with similar credit ratings, which are provided by a third-party specialist, and is classified as Level 2. The table below summarizes the carrying amount and fair value of these financial instruments as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

9.Commitments and Contingencies

Insurance

We maintain general liability insurance with limits of $300,000,000 per occurrence and per property, of which the first $30,000,000 includes communicable disease coverage, and all-risk property and rental value insurance coverage with limits of $1.7 billion per occurrence, including coverage for acts of terrorism, with sub-limits for certain perils such as floods and earthquakes on each of our properties and excluding communicable disease coverage.

Fifty Ninth Street Insurance Company, LLC (“FNSIC”), our wholly owned consolidated subsidiary, acts as a direct insurer for coverage for acts of terrorism, including nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological (“NBCR”) acts, as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended to date and which has been extended through December 2027. Coverage for acts of terrorism (including NBCR acts) is up to $1.7 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate. Coverage for acts of terrorism (excluding NBCR acts) is fully reinsured by third party insurance companies and the Federal government with no exposure to FNSIC. For NBCR acts, FNSIC is responsible for a $298,000 deductible and 20% of the balance of a covered loss, and the Federal government is responsible for the remaining 80% of a covered loss. We are ultimately responsible for any loss incurred by FNSIC.

We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism or other events. However, we cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in the future. We are responsible for uninsured losses and for deductibles and losses in excess of our insurance coverage, which could be material.

The principal amounts of our mortgage loans are non-recourse to us and the loans contain customary covenants requiring us to maintain insurance. Although we believe that we have adequate insurance coverage for purposes of these agreements, we may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable costs in the future. If lenders insist on greater coverage than we are able to obtain, it could adversely affect our ability to finance or refinance our properties.

Letters of Credit

Approximately $900,000 of standby letters of credit were issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2023.

Other

There are various legal actions brought against us from time-to-time in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, the outcome of such pending matters in the aggregate will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

10.Earnings Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted income per share, including a reconciliation of net income and the number of shares used in computing basic and diluted income per share. Basic income per share is determined using the weighted average shares of common stock (including deferred stock units) outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is determined using the weighted average shares of common stock (including deferred stock units) outstanding during the period, and assumes all potentially dilutive securities were converted into common shares at the earliest date possible. There were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Alexander’s, Inc.

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Alexander’s, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2023, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “interim financial information”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2022, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 13, 2023, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Item 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report constitute forward-looking statements as such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They represent our intentions, plans, expectations and beliefs and are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Our future results, financial condition, results of operations and business may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “would,” “may” or other similar expressions in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Many of the factors that will determine these items are beyond our ability to control or predict. For a further discussion of factors that could materially affect the outcome of our forward-looking statements, see “Item 1A – Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Currently, some of these factors are the increase in interest rates and inflation and the continuing effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, operating performance and the effect that these factors have had and may continue to have on our tenants, the global, national, regional and local economies and financial markets and the real estate market in general.

For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or the date of any document incorporated by reference. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly, any revisions to our forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations include a discussion of our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Significant Accounting Policies

A summary of the critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and a summary of our significant accounting policies is included in “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements included therein. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were no material changes to these policies.

Overview

We compete with a large number of property owners and developers. Our success depends upon, among other factors, trends of the global, national and local economies, the financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants and customers, the availability and cost of capital, construction and renovation costs, taxes, governmental regulations, legislation, population and employment trends, zoning laws, and our ability to lease, sublease or sell our properties, at profitable levels. Our success is also subject to our ability to refinance existing debt on acceptable terms as it comes due.

While substantially all the limitations and restrictions imposed on our retail tenants during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic have been lifted, economic conditions, including heightened inflation and interest rates, and other factors continue to adversely affect the financial health of our retail tenants.

Quarter Ended March 31, 2023 Financial Results Summary

Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was $11,226,000, or $2.19 per diluted share, compared to $14,532,000 or $2.84 per diluted share in the prior year’s quarter.

Funds from operations (“FFO”) (non-GAAP) for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was $18,633,000, or $3.63 per diluted share, compared to $21,785,000 or $4.25 per diluted share in the prior year’s quarter.

Square Footage, Occupancy and Leasing Activity

Our portfolio was comprised of six properties aggregating 2,454,000 square feet. As of March 31, 2023, the commercial occupancy rate was 86.9% and the residential occupancy rate was 97.4%.

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended March 31, 2023, compared to March 31, 2022

Rental Revenues

Rental revenues were $52,941,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $49,215,000 for the prior year’s three months, an increase of $3,726,000. This was primarily due to $1,744,000 of higher revenue due to leasing activity and $1,535,000 of higher real estate tax reimbursements due to higher real estate tax expense.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were $24,944,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $21,542,000 for the prior year’s three months, an increase of $3,402,000. This was primarily due to higher real estate tax expense.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization was $7,478,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $7,351,000 for the prior year’s three months, an increase of $127,000.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $1,359,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $1,469,000 for the prior year’s three months, a decrease of $110,000. This was primarily due to lower professional fees.

Interest and Other Income

Interest and other income was $4,319,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $94,000 for the prior year’s three months, an increase of $4,225,000. This was primarily due to $2,153,000 of higher interest income primarily due to an increase in average interest rates and $2,072,000 of higher interest income from our investments in U.S. Treasury bills.

Interest and Debt Expense

Interest and debt expense was $12,253,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $4,415,000 for the prior year’s three months, an increase of $7,838,000. This was primarily due to increases in LIBOR and SOFR rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

Rental revenue is our primary source of cash flow and is dependent on a number of factors, including the occupancy level and rental rates of our properties, as well as our tenants’ ability to pay their rents. Our properties provide us with a relatively consistent stream of cash flow that enables us to pay our operating expenses, interest expense, recurring capital expenditures and cash dividends to stockholders. Other sources of liquidity to fund cash requirements include our existing cash, proceeds from financings, including mortgage or construction loans secured by our properties and proceeds from asset sales.

As of March 31, 2023, we had $476,656,000 of liquidity comprised of $376,876,000 of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and $99,780,000 of investments in U.S. Treasury bills. The ongoing challenges posed by the increase in interest rates and inflation and the continuing effect of the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely affect our cash flow from continuing operations but we anticipate that cash flow from continuing operations over the next twelve months, together with existing cash balances, will be adequate to fund our business operations, cash dividends to stockholders, debt service and capital expenditures. We may refinance our maturing debt as it comes due or choose to pay it down. However, there can be no assurance that additional financing or capital will be available to refinance our debt, or that the terms will be acceptable or advantageous to us.

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were $376,876,000 as of March 31, 2023, compared to $214,478,000 as of December 31, 2022, an increase of $162,398,000. This increase resulted from (i) $164,772,000 of net cash provided by investing activities and (ii) $20,736,000 of net cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by (iii) $23,110,000 of net cash used in financing activities.

Net cash provided by investing activities of $164,772,000 was comprised of $166,832,000 of proceeds from maturities of U.S. Treasury bills, partially offset by construction in progress and real estate additions of $2,060,000.

Net cash provided by operating activities of $20,736,000 was comprised of (i) net income of $11,226,000, (ii) adjustments for non-cash items of $11,707,000, partially offset by (iii) the net change in operating assets and liabilities of $2,197,000. The adjustments for non-cash items were comprised of (i) depreciation and amortization (including amortization of debt issuance costs) of $7,899,000, (ii) straight-lining of rents of $2,067,000 and (iii) other non-cash adjustments of $1,741,000.

Net cash used in financing activities of $23,110,000 was comprised of dividends paid of $23,072,000 and debt issuance costs of $38,000.

Other

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) (non-GAAP)

FFO is computed in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude net gains from sales of certain real estate assets, real estate impairment losses, depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets and other specified items, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries. FFO and FFO per diluted share are used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a performance measure or cash flow as a liquidity measure. FFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. A reconciliation of our net income to FFO is provided below.

FFO (non-GAAP) for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

FFO (non-GAAP) for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was $18,633,000, or $3.63 per diluted share, compared to $21,785,000, or $4.25 per diluted share in the prior year’s quarter.

The following table reconciles our net income to FFO (non-GAAP):

Fair Value of Debt

The fair value of our mortgages payable is calculated by discounting the future contractual cash flows of these instruments using current risk-adjusted rates available to borrowers with similar credit ratings, which are provided by a third-party specialist. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of our mortgages payable was $1,071,540,000 and $1,061,221,000, respectively. Our fair value estimates, which are made at the end of the reporting period, may be different from the amounts that may ultimately be realized upon the disposition of our financial instruments.
