• Q2 Revenue Beats, FFO Misses

  Revenue of $272.4M exceeded the $268.5M consensus, but FFO of $0.92 per share declined from $1.13 a year ago, reflecting lower occupancy and higher interest costs.

• Occupancy Remains Under Pressure

  Stabilized portfolio occupancy was 77.0% at quarter-end, with 81.5% leased. Excluding the newly stabilized KOP 2 project, occupancy was 80.8%.

• Leasing Activity Picks Up

  376,000 sq ft of leases were signed in Q2, including a 38,000 sq ft lease with Olema Pharmaceuticals at KOP 2. GAAP rents on new leases rose 27.3% excluding long-vacant space.

• Full-Year FFO Guidance Affirmed

  Management reaffirmed 2026 FFO guidance of $3.49-$3.63 per share, with Same Property Cash NOI growth expected between 0.25% and 1.25%.

Second-quarter revenue came in at $272.4M, slightly above the $268.5M consensus, yet FFO of $0.92 per share fell well short of the $1.13 recorded a year ago. Occupancy continues to be a headwind at 77.0%, though leasing activity showed signs of life with 376,000 sq ft signed during the quarter. By affirming full-year FFO guidance of $3.49–$3.63, management signaled a steady outlook despite the difficult office market. The balance sheet remains on solid footing following recent credit facility expansions and asset sales, but the combination of high vacancy and declining FFO merits close attention.
