Key Points

Positve

Record leasing volume with 819,000 square feet of comparable deals signed in Q2 2026, the highest in company history, and a 15% increase in first-year cash rents year-over-year.
Strong occupancy growth, with small shop occupancy reaching 92.3%, the highest level since 2007, and overall portfolio occupancy holding steady at 96%.
Raised full-year 2026 FFO guidance to $7.48-$7.56 per share, reflecting 6.5% growth at the midpoint, driven by operational outperformance and stronger-than-expected comparable growth.
Successful capital recycling program, with $225 million of asset sales year-to-date at a blended 5% cap rate, improving net debt to EBITDA to 5.4x and providing low-cost capital for acquisitions.
Robust development pipeline, including residential projects at Blair at Ballyinwood, 301 Washington Street, and Santana Row, expected to add nearly 800 units and $27 million in new operating income once stabilized.
Strong incremental income initiatives, including parking revenue, sponsorship, and signage, expected to be up 20% year-over-year, providing a unique and sustainable revenue stream.

Negative

Increased competition for acquisitions has pushed cap rates down, with some target properties trading at sub-6% cap rates, making it harder to achieve desired leveraged IRRs of 8% or better.
Higher general and administrative expenses due to investments in digital innovation and business development teams, which offset some of the gains from operational outperformance.
A more conservative interest rate outlook for the remainder of 2026 has negatively impacted guidance, reducing expected FFO by $0.01-$0.02 per share.
Occupancy churn in Q2 and Q3 is expected to keep a lid on comparable growth until Q4, with the full benefit of new leases not realized until 2027.
One-time investment write-off and straight-line rent write-offs negatively impacted Q2 results, partially offsetting the strong operational performance.
The company faces a $30 million debt maturity in August at a high 7.5% interest rate, though no other maturities are due until mid-2027.
