Office Properties Income Trust (OPI) Stock Faces Debt Strain Despite Better Cash Flow

Simply Wall St · 2d ago

Office Properties Income Trust walked into this earnings season with a battered reputation and a fresh start after Chapter 11. The stock has inched up about 1% today, hardly a verdict on a company that just cut roughly US$714m of debt and is still carrying about US$1.7b of borrowings at an average interest cost near 9%.

The headline from this quarter is not earnings per share. It is cash. Normalized funds from operations of US$19m and adjusted EBITDAre of US$65m set the stage for the real question investors care about next: Is this balance sheet now strong enough to support the office portfolio that remains?

Cash Flow Progress Backs Selective Bullish View

For investors looking for reasons to stay constructive on Office Properties Income Trust, the latest quarter gives some support. Same property cash basis NOI of US$55m is up 11.9% year on year. Normalized FFO of US$19m and adjusted EBITDAre of US$65m show the assets are still producing cash. A weighted average lease term of about 6.2 years and more than 60% of revenue from strong credit tenants reinforce the idea that much of the rent roll has visible, contract based support.

Leverage And Interest Burden Keep Bear Case Alive

The bear story around Office Properties Income Trust still rests on leverage and funding costs. Even after cutting about US$714m of debt, the company carries roughly US$1.7b of borrowings at an average interest cost near 9%, with a US$425m credit facility maturing in January 2027. Cash interest of about US$154m a year is heavy against normalized FFO of US$19m this quarter. A Q2 net loss of US$792.1m underlines how sensitive equity value can be to impairments and financing terms.
