- The company achieved favorable leasing outcomes, including a 59% cash rental increase on a five-year renewal in Phoenix and a 63% increase on a three-year extension with Mars in Atlanta.
- LXP's portfolio consists of 91% Class A industrial facilities, which are expected to outperform in a market where quality matters.
- The company's investment strategy focuses on 12 target markets in the Sun Belt and Lower Midwest, which benefit from favorable demographics and significant onshoring investments.
- LXP maintains a strong cash position, with $71 million on the balance sheet at quarter-end, and $110 million pro forma for recent property sales.

- LXP anticipates lower tenant retention in 2025 compared to 2024, with in-place rents on remaining 2025 lease expirations 30% to 35% below market.
- The current market environment, particularly trade policy, has created uncertainty for tenants making space use decisions.
- The company has paused disposition activity due to a 90-day pause around tariff policy, impacting its ability to recycle capital.
