Shane Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 without that loan, the stock would be getting crushed. sears liquidation would hurt with no financing back drop and sharks would be swimming for higher rates.

Not sure why you think SRG management was aware already of the coming BK filing. I think they viewed it as an eventuality and therefore have been planning for it. I don't think they knew a filing was necessarily imminent this month or anything like that.

Mervyn's had about the same amount of stores in CA and it took down rents to get the properties leased up. Or since you are a fan of Florida, based on the latest K, 75 SHLD stores are in Florida. SRG has 26 stores in Florida btw. Not sure how many of the Florida SRG stores have been retenanted/redeveloped yet, but the available supply in Florida is about to triple. This is not an issue of a store in Miami and another one in rural Alabama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seritage has also been building its JV alliances. As mentioned above, the hit on earnings and cash flow with liquidation will hurt - but with financing in place it won't be dire and it will be manageable. That's not to say people freak out or question weather its enough, there may be a chance to buy shares at cheaper levels than they are at now. But in terms of shorting - that's a risky proposition.

Two retail locations can have substantially different rent profiles and be only blocks away from each other.

Interesting ... so why did redevelopment deals and terms struggle in CA when Mervyn's took Chapter 7 with about 120 stores. I guess those stores don't cover a few square miles. =) I know someone that was involved in that situation. Yes, the store covers only a local area, but the tenants don't. And the tenants now will have three times the choices to pick where they will open their new stores. It is much easier to negotiate with landlords when you have 4 knocking on your door with a great location each than when you have one. And the landlords will all call on the same potential tenants at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRG, as we have seen, should do just fine because 1) they can sit on properties acquired at garage sale prices (EV/sqft of $120/sq ft) and release far below what other REITs avg sq ft rental is for similar quality property for a nice profit and multiple of historical Sears rents => competitive advantage. We have seen this over last several years with REIs, Olive Gardens, Steakhouses moving from literally blocks down the street to fill in the new supply at SRG. I'd argue you're right, but I don't draw same conclusion as you. As Berkowitz said a couple of years back before he threw in the towel on all things SRG, "anyway you slice it, SRG is cheap" at around 40-something a share. And with the 5 yr loan from BRK, to me SRG remains quite a lopsided positive bet, and nice risk adjusted returns. edit: also getting the whole boxes back means the JVs can finally be greenlit with Macerich, Simon, and rest of GGP.

Again, we agree - I thought he was crazy and on tilt to sell SRG in the 30s and give a one sentence reasoning as to why in his letter. As well as to invest in SHLD. Berkowitz wasn't a reference in my above post, simply that the words he spoke about SRG (and ended up not believing himself) still ring true. Straw man aside, SRG has strong properties (fact) and is low cost provider compared to competition (fact). They've been operating in tough environment for over 3 years and operationally have done quite well. And best is yet to come with large projects. Look at some of the IRRs on the residential deal at Redmond, on the resale of Tanforan, on JV of West Hartford and Santa Monica. Clear, conservative path to 3 bagger in 7-10 years => ~15% compounded.

It is my belief that physical retail will still exist in the future, but many sites are no longer viable because of driving distance/inconvenience to customer. Therefore, location will matter more in the future than in the past.

The properties sold under the mezz loan piece are selling for an average of around $10 million. Yeah Mervyn's had the additional problem of the recession.

Fine you can cut that number in two and that still gets you $26 per sq foot for SPG. Again does that mean that SRG "owns the best and most". It still cannot get to that number. You said SRG got the best stores/locations, well wouldn't one expect then rents to be higher than even the ones advertized by 50% of SPG numbers?

Do you really support the idea of not including some of your owned space if it looks bad for rental prices? "Oh that rate is too low, don't worry we just won't count it! lolololol" We are no longer in 1985, segregated residential, industrial, retail...the future is mixed use and excluding "anchors" in rental numbers is avoiding reality. But that's why SRG is cheap, because people who just look at top line numbers that are bogus come to the wrong conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koshigoe Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 You said SRG got the best stores/locations, well wouldn't one expect then rents to be higher than even the ones advertized by 50% of SPG numbers? no! the thesis, through a margin of safety lens, is that SRG can undercut these inflated rent levels, release space at 17 (or 25$ a square foot if you look to projected stabilized numbers) and still make 4-5x off their rents at acquisition. this is the worst case. the best case is that their properties are in fact as good as Simon and Macerich on the whole, and will command quite high rents, like those already seen at San Diego, and soon to be seen at Aventura, Hicksville, Valley View and others. but a lot of SRG value will be proven through JVs with residential sales, as seen already at Redmond and Hicksville. SRG is a different beast than Simon or Macerich or GGP. I mean, GGP was sold to BPY because they realized they were screwed and couldn't change to mixed use in a public environment. the situation is more nuanced than just picking headline rent numbers and saying x >y.
