Material changes versus prior comparable period

  • The Maren, the second phase of the RiverFront on the Anacostia development, received its certificate of occupancy in September 2020.
  • COVID-19 principally affected the Dock 79 and Maren properties because of retail operating restrictions, reduced attendance at Nationals Park, and Washington, D.C. rent-freeze restrictions.
  • Gross real estate carrying cost increased from $240.128 million at December 31, 2019 to $246.078 million at December 31, 2020, reflecting $17.227 million of capitalized additions, partly offset by $11.060 million of real estate sold and other deductions.
  • The estimated RiverFront Phase II environmental remediation liability was reduced to zero in 2020.
  • The company approved two additional $10.0 million increases to its stock repurchase authorization during 2020.

Guidance, outlook, risks, contingencies, and unusual items

  • Management expected the adverse effects of COVID-19 on Dock 79 and Maren to continue through at least the first half of 2021, affecting financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow.
  • Cemex expected to begin mining at Lake Louisa by the end of 2021 after completing site preparation.
  • Material risks include COVID-19, vacancies and lease renewals, tenant defaults, construction and development delays, zoning and entitlement risk, higher construction costs, cyclical construction and mining activity, interest-rate and LIBOR-transition risk, environmental liabilities, cybersecurity, joint-venture disagreements, and limited real estate liquidity.
  • RiverFront on the Anacostia contains contaminated material requiring special handling. The company expects significant environmental costs as construction proceeds, although the Phase II estimated liability was reduced to zero in 2020. A separate leaking-underground-storage-tank investigation at the Bryant Street redevelopment was not expected by management to have a material adverse impact.
  • The company self-insures portions of workers’ compensation, auto liability, general liability, and employee health claims, creating exposure to losses above accrued or insured amounts.
  • Family-related shareholders collectively held a controlling influence over the company’s voting matters, according to the risk disclosures.
  • Management concluded that disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2020. The auditor was not required to provide an internal-control attestation because of the company’s smaller reporting company status.

Most important facts for investors to verify

  2. Review the maturity and refinancing risk associated with the $90.0 million mortgage balance, particularly the $83.244 million due after 2025.
  3. Assess exposure to Vulcan Materials, which generated 32.0% of 2020 consolidated revenue, and to construction-sector activity.
  4. Evaluate leasing progress and COVID-19 effects at Dock 79, Maren, Cranberry Run, and Windlass Run.
  5. Review the fair-value sensitivity and issuer-credit risk of the $75.609 million corporate bond portfolio.

  7. Consider the absence of cash dividends, ongoing share repurchases, concentrated family voting control, and joint-venture governance risks.
