Proactive Merchandising and Operational Strength Drive Positive Performance
Completes Accretive Acquisition of Market-Dominant Center
Well-Positioned Balance Sheet Supports Continued Growth and Value Creation
GREENSBORO, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tanger® (NYSE:SKT), a leading owner and operator of outlet and other open-air retail shopping destinations, today reported financial results and operating metrics for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.


“Tanger’s strong execution drove another quarter of solid financial and operating performance, demonstrating our differentiated leasing, operating, and marketing platforms and effective financial strategies,” said Stephen Yalof, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to introduce sought-after brands, restaurants, and entertainment concepts that resonate with both existing and new shoppers, and we are engaging a wide demographic of customers through curated and enhanced marketing and traffic-driving initiatives across our portfolio. As expected, occupancy moderated during the quarter as we strategically recaptured a number of spaces where we believe we can create greater value. Our proactive approach to merchandising our centers is supported by robust retailer demand in a continued environment of limited new supply, above-average population growth within our markets, and a consolidating department store industry.”
Mr. Yalof continued, “Our disciplined external growth strategy continued with the accretive acquisition of Levis Commons Town Center, the seventh open-air and fourth lifestyle center added in the past three years. We remain well-positioned to enhance our portfolio, unlock additional value at our centers, and deliver long-term growth for our stakeholders supported by our strong and flexible balance sheet and best-in-class platform.”
Second Quarter Results
Year-to-Date Results
FFO and Core FFO are widely accepted supplemental non-GAAP financial measures used in the real estate industry to measure and compare the operating performance of real estate companies. Definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures and statements of the reasons why management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors about the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and, if applicable, the other purposes for which management uses the measures, as well as reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP net income, can be found later in this release. Per share amounts for net income, FFO and Core FFO are on a diluted basis.
Operating Metrics
Below are key portfolio results for the total portfolio, including the Company’s pro rata share of unconsolidated joint ventures.
Same Center NOI is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of operating performance. A complete definition of Same Center NOI and a reconciliation to the nearest comparable GAAP measure can be found later in this release.
Leasing Activity
Leasing activity in the Company’s portfolio continues to be robust from both existing and new tenants. For the total domestic portfolio, including the Company’s pro rata share of domestic unconsolidated joint ventures, total renewed or re-tenanted leases (including leases for both comparable and non-comparable space) executed during the twelve months ended June 30, 2026 included 652 leases, totaling 3.3 million square feet, compared to 625 leases, totaling 2.8 million square feet, during the twelve months ended June 30, 2025.
Blended average rental rate spreads were 10.5% on a cash basis for leases executed for 3.0 million square feet of comparable space during the twelve months ended June 30, 2026. These blended rent spreads are comprised of re-tenanted rent spreads of 28.4% and renewal rent spreads of 7.7%.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had renewals executed or in process for 70% of the space scheduled to expire during 2026 compared to 65% of expiring 2025 space as of June 30, 2025 (total portfolio, including the Company’s pro rata share of unconsolidated joint ventures).
Transaction Activity
In May 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of Levis Commons Town Center, a 301,000-square-foot open-air lifestyle center located in a vibrant, mixed-use district in the Perrysburg submarket of Toledo, Ohio. The center, which serves as the market-dominant shopping center for the area, was acquired for approximately $60 million using cash on hand and available liquidity. Management expects the center to deliver a first-year return of approximately 8.5%, with potential for additional growth over time. For additional information on this acquisition, please see the related press release available at investors.tanger.inc.
In May 2026, the Company acquired five Saks Off 5th leases for $4.3 million, comprising five stores totaling 140,000 square feet at Tanger Outlets Charleston, Hilton Head 1, Mebane, Phoenix, and Riverhead. As part of the transaction, the Company recorded lease termination expense of $1.3 million, which is included in property operating expenses and is excluded from Same Center NOI. In addition, the Company fully accelerated the non-cash below market rent balance on an acquired Saks Off 5th lease of $2.2 million, which is included in market rent adjustments, a component of GAAP rental revenues.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
The Company maintains a balance sheet with low leverage, recently extended maturities, significant liquidity, and access to a wide range of capital sources. The Company ended the second quarter of 2026 with $1 billion of available liquidity providing the necessary capital to redeem $350 million of unsecured bonds that mature in September 2026 and fund internal and external growth initiatives.
During the second quarter of 2026, the Company fully repaid the $5 million secured mortgage debt for its Atlantic City, New Jersey property. In addition, the Company entered into forward sale agreements for 0.6 million common shares under its at-the-market stock offering program (the “ATM Offering Program”) at an initial forward sale price of $40.50 per share, representing anticipated total gross proceeds of approximately $24 million, all of which remain unsettled and can be settled over time. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had approximately $376 million of common shares remaining available for sale under the ATM Offering Program.
In July 2026, the Company drew the full $50 million available under the delayed draw feature associated with the unsecured term loan due January 2033 (the “2033 Term Loan”), increasing the total principal outstanding under the 2033 Term Loan from $150 million to $200 million. The Company continues to have an additional $100 million available under the delayed draw feature associated with the unsecured term loan due December 2030.
The following balance sheet and liquidity metrics are presented for the total portfolio, including the Company’s pro rata share of unconsolidated joint ventures. As of June 30, 2026:
Adjusted EBITDAre, Net debt and FAD are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures of operating performance. Definitions of Adjusted EBITDAre, Net debt and FAD and reconciliations to the nearest comparable GAAP measures are included later in this release.
Interest Rate Swaps
The Company continued to execute its interest rate hedging strategy during the first half of 2026, entering into new current and forward-starting swaps. Please see the supplemental information package in the Current Report on Form 8-K furnished with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 4, 2026 for additional information.
Dividend
In July 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a quarterly cash dividend of $0.3125 per share, payable on August 14, 2026 to holders of record on July 31, 2026, an increase of 7% compared to the July 2025 quarterly dividend of $0.2925.

The current guidance reflects the May 2026 acquisition of Levis Commons Town Center, but does not include the impact of any additional acquisition or sale of any outparcels, properties or joint venture interests, or any additional financing activity.
