Net income fell sharply as the quarter included large impairments
Revenue fell 5.6% from a year earlier to $239.10 million and net income fell to $17.39 million from $89.92 million a year earlier, cutting net margin to 7.3% from 35.5%. Net income attributable to common stockholders was $14.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, against $87.1 million, or $0.37 8-K. The quarter includes $71.8 million of impairments and $23.2 million of gains on sale, against $0 and $28.6 million a year earlier 8-K. For the nine months, the net loss to common stockholders was $404.4 million, including $703.4 million of impairments 8-K.
Core FFO per diluted share, a company-defined non-GAAP measure, was $0.60, consistent with the prior-year quarter 8-K. Management attributes that to capital recycling and lower general and administrative expense, offset by lower same-property NOI and lower interest income 8-K. Nine-month Core FFO of $1.85 was up 1.6% from $1.82 8-K. Core FFO is therefore flat while GAAP earnings absorb large write-downs.
Same-property income fell even as ending occupancy rose from June 30 and leasing volume was high
Same Property Portfolio NOI decreased 2.6% and Cash NOI decreased 1.1% 8-K. Management cites effective rental rate compression, lower average occupancy and higher bad debt expense, plus higher rent abatement on the cash measure 8-K. Ending same-property occupancy of 96.9% was up 200 basis points from June 30, but average occupancy for the quarter was 95.6% 8-K.
The company executed 3.7 million square feet of leases 8-K. Net effective spreads rose 7.1%, while cash spreads fell 3.0% 8-K. New leases were the weak point at 2.3% net effective and (7.0)% cash, against renewals at 10.8% and 0.1% 8-K. My reading is that occupancy is being rebuilt at the cost of cash rent on new space.
A $1.3 billion portfolio sale came with buybacks and lower leverage
The company sold 25 properties for $1.3 billion, including a 22-property portfolio for $1.2 billion, bringing year-to-date dispositions to $1.5 billion 8-K. It repaid $485.0 million of debt from cash on hand, including $425.0 million of 2027 maturities, and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAre fell to 3.8x from 4.5x at June 30 8-K. It also repurchased 10.9 million shares for $408.7 million at a weighted average $37.59, including $100.0 million completed after quarter end 8-K.
Debt stands at $2.8 billion at a weighted average rate of 3.70%, with no floating-rate exposure and 2.9 years to maturity 8-K. Liquidity is about $1.7 billion, including $423.6 million of cash 8-K. The short weighted average term is the balance-sheet item to watch, since the cheap 3.58% term loan was among the debt repaid 8-K.
Guidance moved up on Core FFO but the loss forecast widened
Management raised 2026 Core FFO guidance to $2.41 - $2.44 per share from $2.38 - $2.43, and lifted same-property cash NOI growth to 0.25% - 0.75% from (0.75)% - 0.25% 8-K. Full-year average same-property occupancy guidance rose to 95.8% - 96.0% from 95.3% - 95.7% 8-K. Net loss per diluted share guidance widened to ($1.55) - ($1.52) from ($1.32) - ($1.27), consistent with this quarter's impairments 8-K.
Repositioning and development starts were cut to 0.8 million square feet and $125 million - $130 million of project costs, from 1.2 million and $160 million - $170 million 8-K. Management's stated focus is disciplined execution and capital allocation 8-K. The cut suggests it is slowing new capital deployment while it sells assets and buys back stock, which is my reading.
What to watch next
Whether full-year Core FFO lands within the raised $2.41 - $2.44 range, and whether dispositions reach the $1.7 billion - $2.0 billion guided 8-K.
Whether cash leasing spreads, (7.0)% on new leases this quarter, improve alongside the raised same-property cash NOI growth guidance of 0.25% - 0.75% 8-K.
Refinancing of the $2.8 billion of debt with a 2.9-year average term, and the pace of the $591.3 million of remaining buyback capacity 8-K.
