New York REIT Liquidating LLC Announces Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2022 and Declaration of Distribution of $0.03 Per Unit (8/05/22)
NEW YORK, Aug. 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- New York REIT Liquidating LLC (the “Company” or the “LLC”), which was formed to complete the liquidation of the assets previously held by New York REIT, Inc., announced today it has filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
Distributions
On August 3, 2022, the Company declared a cash liquidating distribution of $0.03 per unit to be paid on August 22, 2022 to unitholders of record as of August 15, 2022. Based on currently projected future cash flows, the Company does not anticipate paying regular quarterly distributions for the foreseeable future. Future liquidating distributions will depend on, among other things, the timing and amount of cash flow distributions from our interest in Worldwide Plaza. Distributions from Worldwide Plaza will be limited in subsequent periods due to pending tenant turnover and lease expirations.
On May 23, 2022, the Company paid a cash liquidating distribution of $0.10 per unit to unitholders of record as of May 16, 2022.
Liquidation Status
Holders of membership interests in the Company are reminded that the conversion of New York REIT, Inc. to the LLC occurred on November 7, 2018. As previously disclosed, membership interests in the LLC are generally not transferable except by will, intestate succession, or operation of law.
The Company has sold all its properties except for the remaining 50.1% interest in Worldwide Plaza. The Company has no debt outstanding other than its pro-rata share of the non-recourse debt on Worldwide Plaza. The Company has paid aggregate cash liquidating distributions of $61.55 per unit.
On March 15, 2022, based on the current facts and circumstances surrounding the Company’s remaining investment in Worldwide Plaza, the Company’s Board of Managers approved an extension of the expiration of the LLC from November 7, 2022 to December 31, 2023.
Financial Results
Liquidation Basis of Accounting
Based on the liquidation basis of accounting, the Company reported that estimated net assets in liquidation at June 30, 2022 are currently estimated to result in future liquidating distributions of approximately $18.64 per unit. After giving effect to the $0.10 per unit distribution paid on May 23, 2022, the current estimate of future liquidating distributions represents a $0.09 per unit decrease from the Company’s estimate at March 31, 2022. The estimate of future liquidating distributions includes projections of revenues to be earned and costs and expenses to be incurred during the next 12 months including the estimated cost to dispose of our remaining investment. There is inherent uncertainty with these projections and, accordingly, the projections could change materially based on a number of factors both within and outside of the Company’s control including public health crises, such as the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), market conditions, the performance of the underlying property asset, the timing of sale and any changes in the underlying assumptions of projected cash flows.
The current estimate of net assets in liquidation at June 30, 2022 has been estimated based on undiscounted cash flow projections and assumes a final liquidation on June 30, 2023, even though the actual timing of the sale of the Company’s remaining interest in Worldwide Plaza is indeterminate, given the continuing impact of COVID-19 on the commercial real estate market, ongoing tenant negotiations and other items in the property business plan. Based on these factors and the actual timing of the sale of this property, the final liquidation of the Company is subject to future events and uncertainties. Liabilities are carried at their contractual amounts due as adjusted for the impact of timing of the planned liquidation.
COVID-19 Impact
Rent collections for retail and amenities tenants at Worldwide Plaza were not impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic during the six months ended June 30, 2022, though they were impacted during the year ended December 31, 2021. It is uncertain as to the extent of the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including its multiple variants and government protective measures thereto on rent collections at the property for future quarters. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021, the property collected 100% of the office rents that were due. WWP has forgiven approximately $494,000 of base rents for current retail and amenities tenants and has written off approximately $477,000 of base rents related to surrendered retail and amenities space. To date, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has not been material to the Company, however, it is not possible to estimate the future impact of the pandemic at this time.

COVID-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic and government protections thereto continue to impact rent collections from our retail and amenities tenants at Worldwide Plaza. As of June 30, 2021, the property collected 100% of the office rents that were due for the year to date period. With respect to the retail and amenities tenants of the property, approximately $4.3 million of base rents due for 2020 and the first half of 2021 remain unpaid as those tenants seek rent concessions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The unpaid rents represent approximately 3.0% of total rents due at the property for the period from April 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021. Management of Worldwide Plaza is evaluating each rent relief request on a tenant-by-tenant basis. Not all tenant relief requests will result in the granting of relief, and the Company anticipates that a majority of any rent concessions will be in the form of a rent deferral and not rent forgiveness. Worldwide Plaza does not plan to forgo any of its contractual rights under its lease agreements in connection with any relief requests. To date, the impact of COVID-19 has not been material to the Company, however, it is not possible to estimate the impact of the pandemic on cash collections in future quarters.

After giving effect to the $0.18 per unit distribution paid on March 24, 2021, the current estimate of future liquidating distributions represents a $0.08 per unit increase from the Company’s estimate at December 31, 2020. The estimate of future liquidating distributions includes projections of revenues to be earned and costs and expenses to be incurred during the next 12 months including the estimated cost to dispose of our remaining investment. There is inherent uncertainty with these projections and, accordingly, the projections could change materially based on a number of factors both within and outside of the Company’s control including public health crises, such as the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), market conditions, the performance of the underlying property asset, the timing of sale and any changes in the underlying assumptions of projected cash flows.
The current estimate of net assets in liquidation at March 31, 2021 has been estimated based on undiscounted cash flow projections and assumes a final liquidation on March 31, 2022, even though the actual timing of the sale of the Company’s remaining interest in Worldwide Plaza is indeterminate, given the continuing impact of COVID-19 on the commercial real estate market, ongoing tenant negotiations and other items in the property business plan. Based on these factors and the actual timing of the sale of this property, the final liquidation of the Company is subject to future events and uncertainties. Liabilities are carried at their contractual amounts due as adjusted for the impact of timing of the planned liquidation.
COVID-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic and government protections thereto continue to impact rent collections from our retail and amenities tenants at Worldwide Plaza. As of March 31, 2021, the property collected 100% of the office rents that were due for the year to date period. With respect to the retail and amenities tenants of the property, approximately $3.6 million of base rents due for 2020 and the first quarter of 2021 have not been paid as those tenants seek rent concessions for the time period during which they were required to be closed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The unpaid rents represent approximately 3.1% of total rents due at the property for the period from April 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021. Management of Worldwide Plaza is evaluating each rent relief request on a tenant by tenant basis. Not all tenant relief requests will result in the granting of relief, and the Company anticipates that a majority of any rent concessions will be in the form of a rent deferral and not rent forgiveness. Worldwide Plaza does not plan to forgo any of its contractual rights under its lease agreements in connection with any relief requests. To date, the impact of COVID-19 has not been material to the Company, however, it is not possible to estimate the impact of the pandemic on cash collections in future quarters.

There can be no assurance that future distributions will be similar to the current distribution.

Financial Results
Liquidation Basis of Accounting
Based on the liquidation basis of accounting, the Company reported that estimated net assets in liquidation at December 31, 2020 are currently estimated to result in future liquidating distributions of approximately $19.50 per unit. After giving effect to the $0.25 per unit distribution paid on November 17, 2020, the current estimate of future liquidating distributions represents a $2.06 per unit decrease from the Company’s estimate at September 30, 2020. This decrease in estimated future liquidating distributions is primarily due to a $37.6 million ($2.24 per unit) decrease in the Company’s investment in Worldwide Plaza based on a decrease in the estimated property value. Operationally, there was an increase of $0.18 per unit in estimated future liquidating distributions over last quarter. The estimate of future liquidating distributions includes projections of revenues to be earned and costs and expenses to be incurred during the next 12 months including the estimated cost to dispose of our remaining investment. There is inherent uncertainty with these projections and, accordingly, the projections could change materially based on a number of factors both within and outside of the Company’s control including public health crises, such as the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), market conditions, the performance of the underlying property asset, the timing of sale and any changes in the underlying assumptions of projected cash flows.

Based on these factors and the actual timing of the sale of this property, the final liquidation of the Company is subject to future events and uncertainties. Liabilities are carried at their contractual amounts due as adjusted for the impact of timing of the planned liquidation.
COVID-19 Impact
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic across many countries, including the United States, and government protective measures in response to the pandemic, have significantly slowed global economic activity and have caused significant volatility in financial markets. During the second quarter of 2020, WWP received rent relief requests from some of its retail and amenities tenants at the Worldwide Plaza property as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of December 31, 2020, the property collected 100% of the office rents that were due for the year to date period. With respect to the retail and amenities tenants of the property, approximately $2.4 million of base rents have not been paid as those tenants are seeking rent concessions for the time period during which they were required to be closed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The unpaid rents represent approximately 2.0% of total rents due at the property for the year ended December 31, 2020. Management of WWP is evaluating each rent relief request on a tenant by tenant basis. Not all tenant relief requests will result in the granting of relief, and the Company anticipates that a majority of any relief granted will be in the form of a rent deferral and not rent forgiveness. WWP does not plan to forgo any of its contractual rights under its lease agreements in connection with any relief requests. As of the date of this filing, WWP has granted rent forgiveness of less than $100,000 in the aggregate. To date, the impact of COVID-19 has not been material to the Company, however, it is not possible to estimate the future impact of the pandemic at this time.

Financial Results
Liquidation Basis of Accounting
Based on the liquidation basis of accounting, the Company reported that estimated net assets in liquidation at September 30, 2020 are currently estimated to result in future liquidating distributions of approximately $21.81 per unit. After giving effect to the $0.25 per unit distribution paid on August 19, 2020, the current estimate of future liquidating distributions represents a $0.21 per unit increase from the Company’s estimate at June 30, 2020. This increase in estimated future liquidating distributions reflects the effects of the recently announced cost saving measures enacted by the Company. The estimate of future liquidating distributions includes projections of revenues to be earned and costs and expenses to be incurred during the next 12 months including the estimated cost to dispose of our remaining investment. There is inherent uncertainty with these projections and, accordingly, the projections could change materially based on a number of factors both within and outside of the Company’s control including public health crises, such as the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), market conditions, the performance of the underlying property asset, the timing of sale and any changes in the underlying assumptions of projected cash flows.
The current estimate of net assets in liquidation as of September 30, 2020 has been estimated based on undiscounted cash flow projections and assumes a final liquidation on September 30, 2021 even though the actual timing of the sale of the Company’s remaining interest in Worldwide Plaza is indeterminate, given ongoing tenant negotiations and other items in the property business plan. Based on these factors and the actual timing of the sale of this property, the final liquidation of the Company is subject to future events and uncertainties. Liabilities are carried at their contractual amounts due as adjusted for the impact of timing of the planned liquidation.
COVID-19 Impact
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, and government protective measures in response to the pandemic, have significantly slowed global economic activity and caused significant volatility in financial markets. Worldwide Plaza has collected approximately 97.5% of the total rents due for the third quarter of 2020 and approximately 98.8% of the total rents due through September 30, 2020. While the Company was not materially impacted in the third quarter of 2020, there can be no assurances that the impact will not be material in the future. Management of Worldwide Plaza continues to evaluate tenant rent relief requests on a tenant-by-tenant basis. A majority of any relief granted is expected to be in the form of a rent deferral and our estimate of net assets in liquidation will be updated to the extent that any lease modifications are executed. To date, Worldwide Plaza has granted concessions of less than $100,000 in the aggregate.
