Camden Property Trust CPT reported second-quarter 2025 core funds from operations (FFO) per share of $1.70, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.69. However, the figure marginally declined (0.6%) year over year.
The quarterly results reflect higher same-property revenues and improved occupancy, though lower effective new lease rates partly marred the growth tempo. CPT issued guidance for the third quarter and raised its full-year 2025 core FFO per share range.
Property revenues in the quarter came in at $396.5 million, outpacing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $393.8 million. The figure also increased 2.4% on a year-over-year basis.
In the reported quarter, same-property revenues increased 1.0% year over year to $377.4 million. Same-property expenses rose 2.4% to $136.4 million. As a result, the same-property NOI climbed 0.2% to $241.0 million.
The same-property occupancy came in at 95.6%, increasing 30 basis points (bps) year over year and 20 bps sequentially.
In the second quarter, same-property effective blended lease rates jumped 0.7%, with effective new lease rates declining 2.1%, while effective renewal rates increased 3.7% versus expiring lease rates.
Camden has four communities under development with a total of 1,531 units at an estimated cost of $639 million.
During the quarter, the company acquired a 360-unit community in Tampa, FL — Camden Clearwater — for $138.7 million and sold a 337-unit property in Houston, TX, for $60.0 million, recording a $47.3 million gain.
CPT exited the second quarter of 2025 with a liquidity of $717.5 million. This included $33.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, and around $684.4 million of availability under its unsecured credit facility and commercial paper program.
Additionally, its net debt-to-annualized adjusted EBITDAre for the April-June period was 4.2 times, up from 3.9 times in the prior-year comparable period.
For the third quarter of 2025, CPT expects core FFO per share in the range of $1.67-$1.71. The Zacks Consensus Estimate presently stands at $1.68, within the projected range.
For the full year, CPT raised its guidance and now expects core FFO per share in the range of $6.76-$6.86, up from the earlier projected range of $6.63-$6.93. This marked a 3-cent increase at the midpoint to $6.81. The Zacks Consensus Estimate presently stands at $6.80, within the projected range.
Management expects same-property revenue growth of 0.5-1.5% and an expense increase of 2.0-3%. Same-property NOI is expected in the range of a decline of 0.75% to a growth of 1.25%.
Camden currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
