Key Financial Metrics (Six Months Ended June 30, 2025)

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Total revenues increased to $204.99 million from $178.61 million in the prior year period, driven by new acquisitions and the consolidation of the Renaissance Portfolio.
• Impairment Charges: The Company recorded $24.64 million in impairment charges during the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to reduced holding periods for properties in Fund III and Fund IV. There were no impairment charges in the comparable 2024 period.
• Loss on Change in Control: A $9.62 million loss was recognized in 2025 due to the acquisition of an additional 48% interest in the Renaissance Portfolio, resulting in consolidation. This was a non-recurring item not present in 2024.
• Segment Performance:
  • Core Portfolio: Net income attributable to shareholders increased to $13.66 million from $9.88 million.
  • Investment Management: Net income attributable to shareholders decreased to $0.73 million from $4.71 million, impacted by impairments and a loss on the disposition of the Eden Square property.
• Debt Levels: Total indebtedness increased to $1.80 billion from $1.54 billion, reflecting new term loans and mortgage debt assumed in acquisitions.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

Management Commentary & Outlook:

• Acquisitions: The Company completed approximately $423.7 million in acquisitions year-to-date, including high-quality street retail assets.
• Same-Property NOI: The Core Portfolio achieved 4.1% same-property NOI growth for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
• Capital Markets: The Company settled 11.17 million forward shares under its ATM program in March 2025, raising $277.9 million. $443.7 million remains available under the current ATM program.
• Debt Maturities: Significant debt maturities are scheduled for the remainder of 2025 ($288.5 million) and 2026 ($346.9 million). The Company has extension options for a portion of this debt but notes no assurance of refinancing on favorable terms.

Risks and Contingencies:

• Interest Rate Risk: 24.9% of the debt portfolio is variable-rate. A 100 basis point increase in rates would increase interest expense by approximately $4.5 million.
• Macroeconomic Factors: Risks include elevated inflation, geopolitical instability, and the impact of tariffs on tenant revenues.
• Legal Proceedings: The Company is involved in various litigation matters but does not expect a material adverse effect on its financial position.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Impairment Details: Verify the specific valuation assumptions and future cash flow projections for the Fund III and Fund IV properties that triggered the $24.64 million impairment charge.
• Debt Refinancing Strategy: Confirm the status of refinancing plans for the $288.5 million of debt maturing in the remainder of 2025 and the likelihood of exercising extension options.
• Renaissance Portfolio Integration: Assess the operational performance and lease-up status of the newly consolidated Renaissance Portfolio to ensure it meets accretive expectations.
• Unconsolidated Affiliate Performance: Review the financial health of unconsolidated joint ventures, particularly given the loss on the Eden Square disposition and equity losses reported in the Investment Management segment.
• Dividend Coverage: Analyze the sustainability of the $0.40 per share dividend distribution relative to the $3.57 million net income and $82.66 million FFO.
