Management outlined a strategy focused on balance sheet improvement, asset sales, and joint venture buyouts to reduce leverage and enhance liquidity by 2026.

Life science exposure and residential conversions are being pursued flexibly based on market trends.
Fiscal Year 2025
-
Q4 2025 results met expectations with strong leasing, improved retention, and robust Philadelphia performance. 2026 guidance targets 5.8% FFO growth, higher occupancy, and $280–$300 million in asset sales to reduce leverage, with share buybacks considered after deleveraging.
-
Q3 2025 saw strong leasing, high occupancy, and robust liquidity, with FFO above consensus. Guidance was revised lower due to transaction costs and delayed project recapitalizations, but leverage is expected to improve as developments stabilize.
-
Q2 2025 saw strong leasing, improved capital ratios, and stable liquidity, despite a net loss driven by Austin impairments. Development projects are progressing, with recapitalizations expected to reduce leverage and boost earnings as market conditions improve.
-
Management highlighted strong leasing in Philadelphia, ongoing stabilization of new developments, and a disciplined approach to asset sales and capital recycling. Life science expansion remains a priority despite sector headwinds, while balance sheet improvements and dividend coverage are targeted by 2026.
-
Q1 saw stable operations, strong leasing in Philadelphia, and improving pipelines in Austin and life sciences. Net loss was $27.4M, FFO $0.14/share, and capital ratios remain controlled. Development projects are progressing, with significant NOI growth expected upon stabilization.
-
Positive return-to-office trends and a strong flight to quality are driving demand, with a highly diversified, transit-oriented portfolio outperforming peers. Development and leasing pipelines are robust, financial flexibility is prioritized, and sector fundamentals are expected to improve in 2025, with policy support for office-to-residential conversions.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
Core portfolio occupancy and leasing improved in 2024, with strong asset sales boosting liquidity and reducing debt. 2025 is expected to be a transitional earnings trough due to development lease-up delays and high carry costs, but stabilization and recapitalization are anticipated to drive growth in 2026.
-
Q3 results showed a net loss due to impairment charges, but FFO and leasing activity remained strong. Liquidity is solid, with increased asset sales and a robust development pipeline, though some earnings drag is expected as projects stabilize. Guidance was narrowed, and occupancy is seen as having troughed.
-
Q2 results showed stable operations, strong liquidity, and robust leasing activity, with FFO of $0.22/share and net income of $29.9 million, including a $53.8 million non-cash gain from a JV restructuring. 2024 FFO guidance was narrowed, and the company remains focused on deleveraging and development lease-up.
