  • Colony Capital, Inc. the Big Pivot on Hold Primary Report July 25, 2020
    Lark Research Stephen P. Percoco 839 Dewitt Street (908) 448-2246 www.larkresearch.com [email protected] Colony Capital, Inc. The Big Pivot on Hold Primary Report July 25, 2020 In response to activist pressure precipitated by a deterioration in its financial performance and a steady decline in its stock price, Colony Capital announced in November 2019 a new strategy to focus on growing its Digital Realty and Investment Management business, divest over time its healthcare, hospitality and other equity and debt assets and sell substantially all of its investment management business to Colony Credit Real Estate (CLNC). Most of that plan, however, is now on hold due to the economic downturn precipitated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Colony has experienced operating losses from a plunge in occupancy at its hospitality properties, more muted but still consequential declines in occupancy and increasing operating costs at its healthcare properties, payment defaults on its other senior loans, mezzanine loans, preferred equity interests and property leases and sharp declines in prices of its real estate debt securities. As a result of the squeeze on its own profitability, Colony has announced that it is in payment default or non-compliance with $3.54 billion of its total $8.10 billion non-recourse debt, 90% of which is attached to its hospitality properties. The company is in active negotiations to execute forbearances and/or debt modifications and extend maturities on loans coming due. Despite these challenges, Colony has taken steps to bolster its liquidity and financial flexibility. In March, it borrowed $600 million under its corporate credit facility.

Ten years ago, the market crashed and over 9 million families lost their homes — through foreclosure, short-sale or surrender to a lender. One big contributing factor, it became clear afterward, was the practice of bundling mortgages into securities to be sold, resold, and scattered around the world, leaving many banks and nonbank lenders with little motivation to care if a property was fairly priced or a homeowner was truly capable of making the payments.
