Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Net Income Decline: Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2026, was $18.6 million, a significant decrease from $60.8 million in the same period in 2025. This decline is primarily due to a $49.5 million gain on the sale of real estate recognized in Q2 2025, which did not recur in 2026.
- Revenue Growth: Total revenue increased by $8.7 million (7.6%) year-over-year for the quarter, driven by rent commencements, contractual increases, and $2.2 million in lease termination income.
- Expense Management: General and administrative expenses decreased by $2.0 million year-over-year, largely due to severance costs incurred in Q2 2025 that were not repeated.
- Acquisitions: The Company acquired The Village at Bridgewater Commons for $54.3 million in March 2026 and a ground lease interest for $10.7 million in June 2026. No dispositions were completed in the first half of 2026.
- Capital Expenditures: Cash used for real estate development and capital improvements increased to $83.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $44.5 million in the prior year period.
