- The company has the highest ownership percentage of grocery-anchored neighborhood shopping centers within its peer group, providing predictable, high-quality cash flows and downside protection.
- PECO achieved record high comparable renewal rent spreads of 23.2% and strong new leasing rent spreads of 24.5% in the third quarter, reflecting a robust retail environment.
- Portfolio occupancy remained high at 97.6%, with anchor occupancy at 99.2%, demonstrating strong demand and effective property management.
- The company has a robust acquisition pipeline, with $376 million in gross acquisitions year-to-date, and continues to find smart, accretive acquisitions that add long-term value to its portfolio.
- The company faces potential risks from tariffs and US economic stability, which could impact its portfolio, particularly in discretionary goods.

- The company's same-center NOI growth for the fourth quarter of 2025 is expected to be between 1% and 2%, lower than previous quarters due to difficult comparisons with 2024.
- PECO's leverage, with net debt to trailing 12-month annualized adjusted EBITDA at 5.3 times, may pose a risk if interest rates rise or if the company needs to access additional debt.
- The competitive environment for grocery-anchored shopping centers remains high, which could impact PECO's ability to acquire new properties at favorable terms.
