Same-store cash Net Operating Income (NOI) remained flat for the first quarter compared to the same period in 2025.
-
Amended Credit Facility
The company's credit facility was amended and restated on April 1, 2026, increasing borrowing capacity to $600 million (from $400 million) and extending the maturity date to April 1, 2030.

Analysis
American Assets Trust reported a slight decrease in Funds From Operations (FFO) per diluted share for Q1 2026, from $0.52 to $0.51, which is a significant improvement in the rate of decline compared to the prior year's 22.5% FFO decrease. Same-store cash Net Operating Income (NOI) remained flat, indicating stable core operations. While office leasing spreads showed a positive cash-basis increase, retail leasing experienced a slight cash-basis decrease. Crucially, the company amended its credit facility, increasing borrowing capacity to $600 million and extending the maturity date to April 1, 2030. This provides substantial liquidity and strengthens the company's financial flexibility, mitigating some of the mixed operational results. The affirmation of full-year FFO guidance suggests management's confidence in their outlook.
