Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Portfolio Expansion: Acquired 10 retail properties in 2025 for a gross price of $464.6 million, increasing the portfolio to 73 properties. This contrasts with 7 acquisitions in 2024.
- Significant Dispositions: Sold a California portfolio of five properties in June 2025 for $306.0 million, recognizing a net gain of $90.9 million. This drove the substantial increase in Net Income compared to 2024.
- Operating Performance: Same Property NOI increased 5.3% to $171.3 million, driven by fixed annual rent escalations, increased economic occupancy, and favorable lease spreads.
- Leasing Activity: Achieved an 85% retention rate on expiring leases. Comparable renewal leases saw a 10.9% rent increase, while comparable new leases saw a 30.9% increase over prior rents.
- Debt Structure: Amended the $400 million Term Loan in August 2025 to extend maturities to 2030 and 2031 and remove credit spread adjustments. Total debt increased primarily due to assumed mortgage debt on acquisitions ($60.5 million).
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary & Outlook: Management emphasizes a strategy of acquiring in Sun Belt markets with favorable demographics and maintaining a flexible capital structure. The company expects to continue evaluating its distribution rate periodically. As of December 31, 2025, the company had $445.0 million in available liquidity under its revolving credit facility and $236.7 million remaining under its At-The-Market (ATM) equity program.
Key Risks and Contingencies:
- Geographic Concentration: Approximately 37.7% of annualized base rental income is generated from properties in Texas, exposing the company to regional economic downturns.
- Tenant Concentration: While no single tenant exceeds 10% of lease income, 60.6% of income is generated by small shop tenants, which are considered more vulnerable to economic downturns than anchor tenants.
- Interest Rate Risk: The company has hedged its $400 million term loan via interest rate swaps. However, $55.0 million of variable-rate debt on the revolving credit facility remains exposed to rate fluctuations.
- Lease Expirations: Leases representing 5.0% of GLA and 6.2% of ABR are scheduled to expire in 2026.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Gain on Sale Sustainability: Verify the impact of the $90.9 million gain on the California portfolio sale on Net Income; this is a non-recurring item not reflected in NOI or FFO.
- Debt Maturity Profile: Review the specific terms of the amended Term Loan and the $117.6 million in mortgages payable maturing between 2027 and 2030.
- Small Shop Tenant Health: Monitor occupancy and rent collection trends for small shop tenants, which comprise the majority of rental income.
- Interest Rate Hedging: Confirm the effectiveness of interest rate swaps and the potential cost impact when current swaps terminate in 2026 and 2027.
- Capital Allocation: Assess the balance between capital expenditures ($44.5 million in 2025) and distributions ($72.8 million paid in 2025) to ensure liquidity remains sufficient for future acquisitions.
