Business Context and Reporting Period

This Form 10-Q covers the quarterly period ended March 31, 2026, for Brandywine Realty Trust (the "Parent Company") and Brandywine Operating Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"). The Company is a self-administered REIT focused on the acquisition, development, and operation of office and mixed-use properties, primarily in Philadelphia, Austin, and the Mid-Atlantic region. As of March 31, 2026, the portfolio consisted of 64 consolidated properties totaling approximately 12.3 million net rentable square feet, with core property occupancy at 88.3%.

Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Total revenue increased 4.5% year-over-year, driven by the consolidation of the 3025 JFK and 3151 Market Street ventures in late 2025 and higher rents in recently acquired properties.
• Impairment Charges: The Company recognized a $11.9 million provision for impairment in Q1 2026 on three properties (two in the "Other" segment and one in "Pennsylvania Suburbs"). No impairments were recorded in Q1 2025.
• Interest Expense: Interest expense increased by approximately $9.0 million due to new debt issuances (including $150M in 2029 Notes and $300M in 2031 Notes), the consolidation of a $178M construction loan, and reduced capitalized interest.
• Operating Expenses: Property operating expenses rose 15.2% primarily due to higher utility costs and the consolidation of new ventures, partially offset by property dispositions in Austin.
• Share Repurchases: The Company repurchased and retired 700,000 common shares at an average price of $3.10 per share ($2.2 million total) during the quarter.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

• Leasing Environment: Management notes that macroeconomic conditions, including high interest rates and remote work trends, continue to dampen office fundamentals. However, occupancy improved to 88.3% from 86.6% year-over-year. New lease rental rates declined 0.9% while renewal rates increased 5.0%.
• Credit Ratings: In Q1 2026, S&P downgraded the Company's senior unsecured credit rating from BB+ to BB-. This triggered a 50 basis point increase in the coupon on the 2028 Notes to 8.80%, effective September 2026. Moody's rating remains Ba2 with a stable outlook.
• Liquidity: The Company maintains $36.2 million in cash and $535 million in availability under its unsecured credit facility. Management believes this is sufficient to fund development projects and meet debt obligations.
• Development Pipeline: Active development includes the 3151 Market Street project (substantial completion Q4 2024) and 165 King of Prussia Road (Q2 2026). The One Uptown Ventures in Austin extended loan maturities to 2027 and 2028.
• Risks: Key risks include tenant rollover, credit risk, development cost overruns, and the potential for further credit rating downgrades which could increase borrowing costs and limit access to capital markets.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Impairment Details: Verify the specific properties subject to the $11.9 million impairment and the status of the purchase and sale agreement for the held-for-sale asset in the Pennsylvania Suburbs.
• Debt Maturity Wall: Review the scheduled principal payments, noting $178 million due in the remainder of 2026 and $765 million due in 2027.
• Credit Rating Impact: Assess the financial impact of the S&P downgrade on the 2028 Notes and potential future covenant compliance.
• Development Funding: Confirm the funding status and cost estimates for the 3151 Market Street and One Uptown Ventures projects.
• FFO Reconciliation: Review the reconciliation of Net Loss to FFO to understand the impact of non-cash items like depreciation and impairment on operational performance.
