• Core FFO Guidance Cut

  Full-year 2026 Core FFO per share guidance was lowered to $4.58–$4.68 from $4.81–$5.05, a 5% reduction at the midpoint, driven by the impact of planned asset sales.

• Q2 2026 Financial Results

  The quarter produced a net loss of $0.07 per diluted share, FFO of $1.20, and Core FFO of $1.27. Same-store NOI increased 0.3% year-over-year, but total revenue fell 4% to $65.8 million due to prior-year dispositions.

• Strategic Disposition Plan

  The company plans $315–$320 million in gross proceeds from dispositions in 2026, with $30 million completed in Q2 and $139.8 million in July 2026. Proceeds will be used to pay down debt and for general working capital.

• Potential Special Distribution

  Centerspace expects to distribute $50–$60 million to common shareholders and operating partnership unitholders as a special distribution, reflecting capital returns from asset sales.

Centerspace lowered its full-year Core FFO outlook by roughly 5% at the midpoint, a move driven by the earnings impact of planned asset sales. The revised guidance reflects a strategic pivot to sell $315–$320 million in properties to reduce debt—a plan that will shrink earnings but strengthen the balance sheet. Q2 results were mixed: same-store NOI edged up 0.3%, yet revenue declined 4% year-over-year due to prior dispositions. In a further signal of the deleveraging strategy, the company announced $139.8 million in July property sales and a potential $50–$60 million special distribution, returning capital to shareholders.
