Conversion calendar in hand: management narrates the coming year as dated deliveries of business already secured
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2016 call → NOThe question asks whether management lays out a timetable of specific conversions—business already secured or in motion, each with timing—so the forward story reads as a schedule of things turning on. Let me examine the transcript for what management says about the next four quarters. Key items discussed: 1. Torrey Plaza renovation - tenant vacated, renovation over next 8 months, but no secured tenant mentioned. This is a renovation, not a secured conversion. 2. Oregon Square - active lease negotiations, one of finalists for build-to-suit. These are still being pursued, not secured. 3. Waikele - Kmart gone, LOI with national grocer for Sports Authority space. LOI is not a signed lease. Still being negotiated. 4. Private placement debt - locked rates, closing early March. This is financing, not revenue-generating business. 5. Hassalo - occupancy adjustments, leasing velocity. This is existing asset performance, not a new conversion. 6. Torrey Point - development completing Q2 2017, but no tenants signed. "We're not -- we don't really know" when tenants will start paying. No secured leases. The question asks about "conversions" - business already secured that will start contributing on a timetable. Let me check if any item is truly secured with timing. - The private placement is secured (locked rates, closing early March) but that's financing, not revenue-generating business. It reduces interest expense, but the question is about "conversions" - pieces of business that start contributing. - The LOI at Waikele is not a signed lease - it's a letter of intent, still being negotiated. - Oregon Square tenants are still in negotiation. - Torrey Point has no leases signed. Management's forward story is largely about pursuing opportunities, market conditions, and being conservative on guidance. They don't present a schedule of secured items turning on. The debt refinancing is secured and has timing, but that's not a "conversion" in the sense of business contributing - it's a cost reduction. The question asks about "identified pieces of business that are ALREADY SECURED OR ALREADY IN MOTION, each attached to an at-least-approximate time frame in which it starts contributing." The debt refinancing reduces interest expense starting in March - that is somewhat secured and has timing.
