Financial Results

Net income/(loss) available to the company’s common shareholders for the first quarter of 2025 was $125.1 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to ($18.9) million, or ($0.03) per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024. This increase is primarily attributable to:

• $32.4 million growth in consolidated revenues from rental properties, net, mainly due to $13.2 million in higher minimum rent and $13.6 million in increased reimbursement income. This growth was partially offset by $6.6 million in higher real estate taxes and $3.8 million in additional operating and maintenance expenses for the first quarter of 2025 over the comparable period in the prior year.

• $71.5 million in provision for income taxes, net, and $27.7 million loss on marketable securities, net, related to the sale of shares of Albertsons Companies Inc. (NYSE: ACI) common stock in the first quarter of 2024, that did not repeat in 2025.

• $25.2 million of merger charges related to the acquisition of RPT Realty ("RPT") in 2024 that did not repeat in 2025.

• $8.8 million increase in mortgage and other financing income, net, attributable to an increase in Kimco’s Structured Investment Program year over year.

FFO was $301.9 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $261.8 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024, representing a per share increase of 12.8%.

Operating Results

• Signed 583 leases totaling 4.4 million square feet during the first quarter, generating blended pro-rata cash rent spreads on comparable spaces of 13.3%, with new leases up 48.7% and renewals and options growing 8.7%.

• Pro-rata leased occupancy ended the quarter at 95.8%, reflecting an anticipated sequential and year-over-year reduction of 50 basis points and 20 basis points, respectively. The change in occupancy was due to vacating leases including: 32 Party City, 6 Big Lots and an undersized Walmart, partially offset by strong leasing activity.

• Pro-rata small shop occupancy was 91.7%, representing a 20-basis-point increase year-over-year and no change sequentially. Pro-rata anchor occupancy ended the quarter at 97.4%.

• Generated 3.9% growth in Same Property NOI in the first quarter over the same period a year ago, driven by a 3.4% increase in minimum rents. Credit loss as a percentage of total pro-rata rental revenues was better than expected at 56 basis points during the first quarter.

• The spread between the company’s pro-rata leased versus economic occupancy was 290 basis points, equating to $60 million in future ABR from leases that have been signed and yet to commence.
