Vornado Realty Trust (NYSE:VNO ) BofA Securities 2025 Global Real Estate Conference September 10, 2025 1:30 PM EDT Company Participants Michael Franco - President & CFO Glen Weiss - Executive VP of Office Leasing & Co-Head of Real Estate Conference Call Participants Jana Galan - BofA Securities, Research Division Presentation Jana Galan Research Analyst Good afternoon. Welcome to Bank of America's 2025 Global Real Estate Conference.
Vornado Realty's Series O preferreds offer an attractive 7.5% yield from a portfolio of prime Manhattan office properties. Manhattan office occupancy is rising, with strong tenant demand and limited new supply set to support FFO and revenue growth. VNO generated double-digit GAAP leasing spreads in the second quarter. Pending Fed rate cuts and non-core asset sales are set to improve VNO's leverage profile and liquidity, enhancing the preferreds' appeal.
VNO is set to acquire 623 Fifth Avenue for $218M, aiming to redevelop it into a premier Class A boutique office building.
VNO secures $38M in net proceeds and expects an $11M gain from its sale of 512 West 22nd Street.

VNO's Q2 results reflect growth in same-store NOI, aided by higher leasing activity.
Vornado (VNO) came out with quarterly funds from operations (FFO) of $0.56 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.53 per share. This compares to FFO of $0.57 per share a year ago.
Vornado Realty Trust's asset quality and market positioning are strong, with a high asset coverage ratio and prime real estate holdings in major U.S. cities. Credit metrics suggest a Moody's-equivalent rating of Ba1 to Baa3, supported by solid unencumbered assets and manageable leverage, but offset by weaker debt-to-EBITDA. Preferred shares and bonds offer attractive yields (7.5%+ for preferreds, 5.4% for bonds), all trading below par and rated below investment grade by agencies.
VNO stock jumps 8.7% in a month as strong leasing momentum, refinancing moves and portfolio shifts boost investor confidence.
Vornado (VNO) reported earnings 30 days ago. What's next for the stock?
Tenants' healthy demand for premier office spaces and portfolio-repositioning initiatives is well-poised to support VNO's performance.
The New York office leasing market showed strong momentum in the first quarter, with the highest quarterly volume since 2014. The availability of Class A office space is shrinking, with 13 million square feet of office-to-residential conversions underway and new office supply truncated. VNO's fiscal 2025 first quarter revenue and FFO beat consensus estimates, as occupancy dipped to 83.5% following PENN 2 being placed into service.
