SITE Centers Reports First Quarter 2025 Results

SITE Centers Corp. (NYSE:SITC), an owner of open-air shopping centers located primarily in suburban, high household income communities, announced today operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

"SITE Centers continues to see strong demand from private and institutional investors seeking to acquire high-quality, open-air shopping centers consistent with the Company's portfolio. The Company currently has two properties with an aggregate price of $95.3 million under contract for sale subject to standard closing conditions with an additional group of properties in various stages of contract negotiations or in the marketing process in excess of $350.0 million," commented David R. Lukes, President and Chief Executive Officer. "SITE Centers remains focused on maximizing the value of its assets through continued leasing, asset management and potential additional asset sales."

Results for the First Quarter

• First quarter net income attributable to common shareholders was $3.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, as compared to net loss of $26.3 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, in the year-ago period. The increase year-over-year was primarily the result of an increase in other property revenues and a decrease in impairments and interest expense offset by the result of the spin-off of Curbline Properties Corp. ("Curbline" or "Curbline Properties") (NYSE:CURB), lower Net Operating Income ("NOI") as a result of property dispositions, lower gain on sale from dispositions, and lower interest income.
• First quarter operating funds from operations attributable to common shareholders ("Operating FFO" or "OFFO") was $8.3 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to $59.8 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, in the year-ago period. The decrease year-over-year was primarily the result of the spin-off of Curbline Properties, lower NOI as a result of property dispositions and lower interest income offset by decreased interest expense, no preferred dividends and decreased debt related charges.

Significant First Quarter Activity and Key Operating Results

• Recorded $8.4 million of other property revenues in conjunction with the resolution of a condemnation proceeding with the State of Florida relating to business damages and compensation for land taken in 2022 at the Shoppes at Paradise Pointe. Cash of $3.8 million was received during the quarter with the remainder received in April 2025. The condemnation proceeds were not included in calculating operating funds from operations.
• Reported a leased rate of 89.8% at March 31, 2025 as compared to 91.1% at December 31, 2024 and 91.7% at March 31, 2024, all on a pro rata basis. The March 31, 2024 leased rate has been adjusted to reflect the removal of all properties included in the Curbline Properties spin-off and all properties sold during 2024.
• Reported a commenced rate of 89.4% at March 31, 2025 as compared to 90.6% at December 31, 2024 and 89.8% at March 31, 2024, all on a pro rata basis. The March 31, 2024 commenced rate has been adjusted to reflect the removal of all properties included in the Curbline Properties spin-off and all properties sold during 2024.
• Executed five new leases and 17 renewals for 75,000 square feet during the quarter.
• Generated cash renewal leasing spreads of 3.4%, on a pro rata basis, for the first quarter of 2025.
• In the first quarter of 2025, eliminated the reclassification of general and administrative expense to operating and maintenance expense. The prior-year period reported amount of $2.6 million has been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

Discontinued Operations

On October 1, 2024, the Company completed the spin-off of Curbline Properties. The spin-off of the convenience properties represented a strategic shift in the Company's business and, as such, the Curbline properties are reflected as discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Supplemental Information

Non-GAAP Measures and Other Operational Metrics

Funds from Operations ("FFO") is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used as a standard in the real estate industry and is a widely accepted measure of real estate investment trust ("REIT") performance. Management believes that both FFO and Operating FFO provide additional indicators of the financial performance of a REIT. The Company also believes that FFO and Operating FFO more appropriately measure the core operations of the Company and provide benchmarks to its peer group.

FFO is generally defined and calculated by the Company as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP")), adjusted to exclude (i) preferred share dividends, (ii) gains and losses from disposition of real estate property and related investments, which are presented net of taxes, (iii) impairment charges on real estate property and related investments, (iv) gains and losses from changes in control and (v) certain non-cash items. These non-cash items principally include real property depreciation and amortization of intangibles, equity income (loss) from joint ventures and adding the Company's proportionate share of FFO from its unconsolidated joint ventures, determined on a consistent basis. The Company's calculation of FFO is consistent with the definition of FFO provided by NAREIT. The Company calculates Operating FFO as FFO excluding certain non-operating charges, income and gains/losses. Operating FFO is useful to investors as the Company removes non-comparable charges, income and gains/losses to analyze the results of its operations and assess performance of the core operating real estate portfolio. Other real estate companies may calculate FFO and Operating FFO in a different manner.

The Company also uses NOI, a non-GAAP financial measure, as a supplemental performance measure. NOI is calculated as property revenues less property-related expenses. The Company believes NOI provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level and, when compared across periods, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition and disposition activity on an unleveraged basis.

FFO, Operating FFO and NOI do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as alternatives to net income computed in accordance with GAAP, as indicators of the Company's operating performance or as alternatives to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures have been provided herein.
