– Small Shop Occupancy Reaches Record High –

JERICHO, N.Y., July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kimco Realty^® (NYSE: KIM), a real estate investment trust (REIT) and leading owner and operator of high-quality, open-air, grocery-anchored shopping centers and mixed-use properties in the United States, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, Net income available to the company’s common shareholders (“Net income”) per diluted share was $0.23 and $0.17, respectively.

Highlights

• Reported 7.3% growth in Funds From Operations* (“FFO”) per diluted share over the same period in 2024 to $0.44.
• Produced a 3.1% increase in Same Property Net Operating Income* (“NOI”) over the same period a year ago.
• Generated blended pro-rata cash rent spreads of 15.2% on comparable leases, marking the highest quarterly level in over seven years.
• Small shop occupancy reached an all-time company record of 92.2%, surpassing the previous high by 40 basis points.
• Grew pipeline of near-term rent commencements to $66 million of Annual Base Rent (“ABR”) from signed leases.
• Expanded ABR contribution from grocery-anchored shopping centers to a new record level of 86%.
• Sold a freestanding, single-tenant Home Depot-anchored property in Santa Ana, California for $49.5 million.
  

“Our FFO per share growth reflects both the strength of our high-quality portfolio and our best-in-class platform and leasing team,” said Kimco CEO Conor Flynn. “The modest dip in overall occupancy due to the bankruptcies of JOANN and Party City was significantly less than anticipated, further evidencing the strong tenant demand for our well-located centers and the resilient consumer demand for necessity-based essential goods and services. With consistently strong levels of retail demand, limited new construction supply, and an expanding pipeline of rent commencements, we are well positioned to deliver FFO per share growth in excess of 5% for the second consecutive year.”

Financial Results

Net income for the second quarter of 2025 was $155.4 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to $111.8 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024. This 35% increase is primarily attributable to:

• $24.7 million growth in consolidated revenues from rental properties, net, mainly due to $14.4 million in higher minimum rent and $4.2 million in increased reimbursement income.
• $31.4 million in higher gains on sales of properties, net of impairments.
• $7.3 million increase in mortgage and other financing income, net, primarily attributable to an increase in the size of Kimco’s Structured Investment Program.
  

This growth was partially offset by:

• $8.2 million in increased depreciation and amortization expense.
• $7.9 million in increased interest expense.

FFO was $297.6 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $276.0 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024, representing a per share increase of 7.3%.

Operating Results

• Signed 506 leases totaling 2.7 million square feet during the second quarter, generating blended pro-rata cash rent spreads on comparable spaces of 15.2%, with new leases up 33.8% and renewals and options growing 9.6%.
• Pro-rata leased occupancy ended the quarter at 95.4%. The 40 basis point sequential decline was primarily driven by a 66 basis point impact from the anticipated vacates of the remaining JOANN and Party City leases, partially offset by strong leasing activity.
• Small shop occupancy increased 50 basis points both sequentially and year-over-year to 92.2%, representing a new all-time company record, surpassing the previous high by 40 basis points.
• Pro-rata anchor occupancy concluded the quarter at 96.7%.
• Generated 3.1% growth in Same Property NOI in the second quarter over the same period a year ago, primarily driven by a 2.7% increase in minimum rents.
• The spread between the company’s pro-rata leased rate versus economic occupancy level was 310 basis points, a 20-basis-point sequential increase, equating to $66 million in future ABR from leases that have been signed and have not yet commenced.

Transactional Activities

• Completed the sale of a freestanding, Home Depot-anchored property in Santa Ana, California for $49.5 million, generating a gain of $38.4 million. The company plans to utilize the proceeds in a 1031 exchange towards the acquisition of a grocery-anchored shopping center that has been identified. This transaction aligns with the strategic disposition of single-tenant or ground leased properties with a limited growth profile that can be accretively recycled into new properties with a higher-growth trajectory.
• Under Kimco’s Structured Investment Program, invested $46.2 million in new capital offset by $27.0 million in mezzanine loan repayments.

Capital Market Activities

• Issued $500.0 million of 5.30% senior unsecured notes maturing February 2036. The pricing was reflective of a 92-basis-point spread over the 10-year U.S. Treasury.
• Repaid a $240.5 million 3.85% unsecured note in the second quarter. The company has no remaining consolidated debt maturing until July 2026.
• As previously announced, repurchased 3.0 million shares of common stock at an average price of $19.61 per share, net of fees and commissions.
• Ended the quarter with over $2.2 billion of immediate liquidity, including full availability on a $2.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and $227.8 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on the balance sheet. 

Dividend Declarations

• The board of directors declared its quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per common share (equivalent to $1.00 per annum), payable on September 19, 2025, to shareholders of record on September 5, 2025.
• The board of directors also declared quarterly dividends with respect to each of the company’s Class L, Class M, and Class N series of preferred shares. These dividends on the preferred shares will be paid on October 15, 2025, to shareholders of record on October 1, 2025.
