Analysis · CSR · Real Estate & Construction
A significantly narrower net loss versus last year highlights the quarter, driven by lower impairment charges and a gain on sale. Core FFO per share dipped only slightly to $1.27, demonstrating operational resilience despite a 4% revenue decline from prior-year dispositions. The balance sheet is being actively reshaped: 13 communities are now held for sale, and subsequent July closings have already generated $139.8 million in proceeds earmarked for debt reduction. This is a pivotal quarter that validates the strategic pivot toward a leaner portfolio and lower leverage.
