Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Total revenues increased 15.1% year-over-year for the quarter and 14.9% for the nine-month period, driven by new acquisitions (including the Renaissance Portfolio consolidation) and lease-up activity.
• Impairment Charges: The Company recognized $12.6 million in impairment charges for the quarter and $37.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to shortened hold periods on Investment Management properties. There were no impairment charges in the comparable 2024 periods.
• Change in Control: A $9.6 million loss on change in control was recorded in the nine-month period due to the acquisition of an additional 48% interest in the Renaissance Portfolio, resulting in consolidation.
• Investment Management Performance: Net income attributable to Acadia shareholders for the Investment Management segment decreased significantly compared to the prior year, largely due to the aforementioned impairments and a loss on the sale of the Eden Square property.
• Debt Expansion: Total consolidated indebtedness increased from $1.55 billion at year-end 2024 to $1.87 billion at September 30, 2025, reflecting new term loans and assumed debt from acquisitions.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

Management Commentary:

• Acquisitions: Completed approximately $487.3 million in acquisitions year-to-date, including high-quality street retail assets.
• Development: Capitalized costs for development totaled $44.8 million for the nine months. Estimated cost to complete remaining projects through 2028 ranges from $126.1 million to $157.0 million.
• Liquidity: The Company maintains a $500 million ATM program with $238.7 million remaining available. A $250 million incremental term loan was fully drawn in Q3 2025.

Risks and Contingencies:

• Interest Rate Risk: 20.4% of debt is variable-rate. A 100 basis point increase in rates would increase interest expense by approximately $3.8 million annually.
• Refinancing Risk: $84.1 million of consolidated debt matures in the remainder of 2025, and $328.9 million in 2026. Refinancing is subject to market conditions.
• Macroeconomic Factors: Risks include inflation, geopolitical instability, and the impact of tariffs on tenant revenues.
• Legal Proceedings: No material adverse effects expected from current litigation.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Impairment Details: Verify the specific properties triggering the $37.2 million in impairments and the assumptions used for fair value measurements (Level 3 inputs).
• Debt Maturities: Confirm the status of refinancing efforts for the $84.1 million maturing in late 2025 and the $328.9 million due in 2026.
• Investment Management Fund Status: Review the capital call requirements and unfunded commitments for Funds III, IV, and V ($12.6 million total remaining).
• Forward Sales Settlement: Monitor the settlement of the 12.76 million forward shares outstanding under the ATM program, which could impact share count and dilution.
• REIT Qualification: Assess the impact of the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBBA) on REIT asset tests and taxable REIT subsidiary limits.
