- Disposition: Sold the Howell, MI center in April 2025 for $17.0 million, recording a $4.2 million impairment charge in Q1 2025 to adjust the carrying value to fair value.
- Revenue Growth: Rental revenues increased by $53.4 million (10.7%) driven by acquisitions and higher rents at existing properties. Average annual base rent per square foot rose to $27.77 from $26.83.
- Expense Increases: Property operating expenses rose $17.8 million due to new acquisitions and higher costs for snow removal, taxes, and payroll. Interest expense increased $5.2 million due to higher line of credit balances and the assumed Kansas City mortgage.
- Leasing: Renewal rent spreads for comparable space were 6% in 2025, down from 14% in 2024, while new tenant rent spreads were 31%.
Guidance, Outlook, and Recent Developments
Capital Strategy & Liquidity: Management maintains a conservative leverage position. In January 2026 (subsequent to year-end), the company closed on $550.0 million in unsecured term loans (extending maturities to 2030 and 2033) and issued $250.0 million of 2.375% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2031. These actions were taken to extend debt maturities and manage interest rate risk.
Dividends: The Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.2925 per share in January 2026. The company remains in compliance with REIT distribution requirements.
Risks & Contingencies:
- Impairment Risk: The Atlantic City, NJ center has a carrying value of $102.1 million, which exceeds its estimated fair value. However, management believes the asset is recoverable based on a 9-year holding period and has not recorded an impairment.
- Debt Maturities: Significant debt maturities are scheduled for 2026 ($355.7 million) and 2027 ($740.0 million), though recent refinancing in January 2026 has extended the profile of the term loan portion.
- Market Risks: Exposure to general retail conditions, tenant bankruptcies, inflation, and interest rate fluctuations. Approximately 37% of the portfolio is in coastal areas at risk from severe weather.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Atlantic City Valuation: Verify the assumptions regarding the 9-year holding period and cash flow projections used to justify the lack of impairment on the Atlantic City center.
- Debt Refinancing: Confirm the terms and impact of the January 2026 term loan amendments and Exchangeable Notes issuance on future interest expense and liquidity.
- Lease Renewals: Monitor the 18% of the portfolio expiring in 2026 and the ability to maintain rent spreads given the 6% renewal spread in 2025.
- Joint Venture Guarantees: Review the extent of guarantees provided for unconsolidated joint ventures, particularly regarding the removal of guarantees following the Galveston/Houston refinancing.
- Capital Expenditures: Assess the $120 million projected capital expenditure budget for 2026 against cash flow generation.
