- Interest Income: Increased by 50.1% to $11.1 million, driven by higher average cash balances invested in money market accounts.

Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
- Capital Recycling: Proceeds from recent property sales are held as restricted cash for tax-deferred like-kind exchanges (Section 1031). The company continues to evaluate dispositions opportunistically.
- Financing Updates: On May 30, 2025, the company amended its credit agreement to increase the revolver capacity to $1.25 billion, extend maturities, and lower interest rates by eliminating a SOFR adjustment. On June 30, 2025, new interest rate swaps were executed to fix rates on $400 million of term debt.
- Development Pipeline: As of June 30, 2025, 14 properties were under repositioning/redevelopment and 18 were in lease-up. The company has a near-term pipeline of 15 additional projects totaling 3.0 million square feet.
- Market Outlook: Management notes that while market rent growth has decreased since mid-2023 peaks, the infill Southern California markets continue to exhibit favorable long-term supply-demand fundamentals due to scarcity of land and high barriers to new construction.
- Dividends: The board declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.43 per share, payable October 15, 2025.

- Construction Costs: Assess potential budget overruns on the $152.4 million estimated capital required for current repositioning projects due to inflation or supply chain delays.
