Recent Company History

Same property metrics have fluctuated, with several quarters showing declines. Market reactions have usually been modest and mostly aligned with the mixed tone of results, framing today’s fourth quarter and full year 2025 report within a continuing transition period.

Average Historical Move earnings

In the last five earnings releases, BFS’s average move was a modest -0.22%, with mostly small, aligned reactions to mixed fundamentals. Today’s modest pre-news decline fits that historically muted pattern.

Earnings since mid-2024 have reflected a shift from strong same property growth toward a transition phase where Twinbrook Quarter Phase I’s initial operations weigh on net income and FFO even as overall revenue expands.

Analysis

This announcement highlights higher total revenue for both the quarter and full year, offset by lower net income and FFO as new projects such as Twinbrook Quarter Phase I and Hampden House move from construction into operations. Investors may focus on leasing metrics, same property performance, and the balance between growth investments and earnings dilution. Upcoming filings and future earnings with updated occupancy and FFO figures will be important markers to monitor.

Key Terms

real estate investment trust, funds from operations, non-gaap financial measures, net operating income, +3 more

7 terms

real estate investment trust financial

"an equity real estate investment trust ("REIT"), announced operating results"

A real estate investment trust (REIT) is a company that owns and manages income-producing properties—like apartment buildings, shopping centers, offices, or warehouses—and is required to pass most of its rental income to shareholders as dividends. Think of it as a shared property owner: instead of buying a whole building, investors buy a slice of a portfolio that pays regular income and can offer exposure to property values and rental markets without direct management. REITs matter to investors for predictable income, diversification, and liquidity compared with owning physical real estate.

funds from operations financial

"Funds from operations ("FFO") available to common stockholders and noncontrolling interests"

Funds from operations (FFO) measures the cash a real estate-focused company generates from its core property operations by adjusting net income to add back non-cash expenses like building depreciation and removing one-time gains or losses from property sales. Investors use FFO like a household’s monthly take-home pay—it's a clearer view of ongoing cash available to pay dividends, maintain properties and fund growth than raw accounting profit.

non-gaap financial measures financial

"Same property revenue and same property net operating income are non-GAAP financial measures"

Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.

net operating income financial

"same property net operating income decreased $6.3 million, or 11.2%, for the 2025 Quarter"

Net operating income is the profit a business makes from its core operations after subtracting the costs directly related to running those operations, but before accounting for taxes, interest, or other expenses. It shows how efficiently a company is generating income from its main activities. Investors use this figure to assess the company's operational performance and profitability.

same property revenue financial

"Same property revenue decreased $3.6 million, or 4.7%, and same property net operating income"

Same property revenue measures income from locations or assets that were owned and operating in both the current reporting period and the comparable prior period, excluding revenue from newly acquired, sold or closed properties. For investors it isolates the business’s organic performance—like comparing the output of the same set of stores or hotels month-to-month—so you can judge whether existing operations are improving or weakening without growth from new assets clouding the picture.

same property net operating income financial

"Same property revenue decreased $3.6 million, or 4.7%, and same property net operating income"

Same property net operating income is the total earnings generated from a group of buildings or properties, measured over a specific period, that have been owned continuously without any changes such as buying new properties or selling existing ones. It helps investors see how well these properties are performing on their own, without the influence of new acquisitions or disposals. This measure provides a clear view of the steady income growth or decline from existing assets.

"risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025"

A Form 10-K is a comprehensive report that publicly traded companies are required to file annually with regulators.

BETHESDA, Md., Feb. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Saul Centers, Inc. (NYSE: BFS) (the "Company"), an equity real estate investment trust ("REIT"), announced operating results for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 ("2025 Quarter").  Total revenue for the 2025 Quarter increased to $75.1 million from $67.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 ("2024 Quarter").  Net income decreased to $8.2 million for the 2025 Quarter from $10.4 million for the 2024 Quarter. On October 1, 2025, the Company opened Hampden House, comprised of 366 apartment units and 10,100 square feet of retail space adjacent to the Bethesda Metro Station in Bethesda, Maryland. As of February 23, 2026, 130 of the 366 (35.5%) residential units were leased and occupied. 

Concurrent with the opening of Hampden House on October 1, 2025, interest, real estate taxes, depreciation and all other costs associated with the residential portion and the majority of the retail portion of the property began to be charged to expense, while revenue continues to grow as occupancy increases. As a result, compared to the 2024 Quarter, net income for the 2025 Quarter was adversely impacted by $5.1 million, of which $2.8 million was a reduction in capitalized interest, due to the initial operations of Hampden House. Net income for Twinbrook Quarter Phase I increased $2.0 million from the 2024 Quarter to the 2025 Quarter. Exclusive of Twinbrook Quarter Phase I and Hampden House, net income increased by $0.9 million primarily due to (a) higher commercial base rent of $2.3 million and (b) higher residential base rent of $0.3 million partially offset by (c) lower property operating expense recoveries, net of expenses, of $1.1 million, (d) higher credit losses on operating lease receivables, net, of $0.3 million and (e) higher general and administrative cost of $0.3 million. Net income available to common stockholders decreased to $3.7 million, or $0.15 per basic and diluted share, for the 2025 Quarter from $5.3 million, or $0.22 per basic and diluted share, for the 2024 Quarter. Compared to the 2024 Quarter, net income available to common stockholders for the 2025 Quarter was adversely impacted by $2.6 million, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share, due to the initial operations of Hampden House.

Same property revenue decreased $3.6 million, or 4.7%, and same property net operating income decreased $6.3 million, or 11.2%, for the 2025 Quarter compared to the 2024 Quarter. Same property revenue decreased primarily due to (a) the receipt in the 2024 Quarter of a non-recurring rental payment of $8.7 million, which was recognized within same property revenue in the 2024 Quarter partially offset by (b) higher residential base rent of $2.8 million, (c) higher operating expense recoveries of $1.3 million and (d) higher commercial base rent of $0.8 million, exclusive of the non-recurring rental payment. Exclusive of the non-recurring rental payment, for the 2025 Quarter same property revenue increased $5.1 million, or 6.8%, and same property net operating income increased $2.4 million, or 4.2%, compared to the 2024 Quarter. Shopping Center same property net operating income for the 2025 Quarter totaled $35.8 million, a 1.3% increase compared to the 2024 Quarter. Shopping Center same property net operating income increased primarily due to (a) higher commercial base rent of $1.3 million partially offset by (b) lower property operating expense recoveries, net of expenses, of $0.7 million.  Mixed-Use same property net operating income for the 2025 Quarter totaled $14.2 million, a 32.2% decrease compared to the 2024 Quarter. Mixed-Use same property net operating income decreased primarily due to (a) the receipt in the 2024 Quarter of a non-recurring rental payment of $8.7 million, which was recognized within same property net operating income in the 2024 Quarter, (b) lower property operating expense recoveries, net of expenses, of $0.8 million, partially offset by (c) higher residential base rent of $2.8 million.

One property, Hampden House, was excluded from same property results.  Reconciliations and definitions of (a) total revenue to same property revenue and (b) net income to same property net operating income are attached to this press release. 

Same property revenue and same property net operating income are non-GAAP financial measures of performance that management believes improve the comparability of reporting periods by excluding the results of properties that were not in operation for the entirety of the comparable reporting periods. We define same property revenue as total revenue less straight-line base rent and amortization of above/below market premiums and discounts related to leases acquired in connection with purchased real estate investment properties minus the revenue of properties not in operation for the entirety of the comparable reporting periods, and we define same property net operating income as net income plus (a) interest expense, net and amortization of deferred debt costs, (b) depreciation and amortization of deferred leasing costs, (c) general and administrative expenses, (d) change in fair value of derivatives, and (e) loss on the early extinguishment of debt minus (f) gains on property dispositions, (g) straight-line base rent, (h) amortization of above/below market premiums and discounts related to leases acquired in connection with purchased real estate investment properties and (i) the net operating income of properties that were not in operation for the entirety of the comparable periods.

Funds from operations ("FFO") available to common stockholders and noncontrolling interests (after deducting preferred stock dividends) decreased to $21.5 million, or $0.61 per basic and diluted share, in the 2025 Quarter compared to $22.0 million, or $0.63 per basic and diluted share, in the 2024 Quarter. FFO is a non-GAAP supplemental earnings measure that the Company considers meaningful in measuring its operating performance. A reconciliation and definition of net income to FFO is attached to this press release.  FFO available to common stockholders and noncontrolling interests was adversely impacted by $3.6 million, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share, due to the initial operations of Hampden House.

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit") developed FFO as a relative non-GAAP financial measure of performance of an equity REIT in order to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP. FFO is defined by NAREIT as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and excluding impairment charges on real estate assets and gains or losses from real estate dispositions. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, which is disclosed in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the applicable periods. There are no material legal or functional restrictions on the use of FFO. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income, its most directly comparable GAAP measure, as an indicator of the Company's operating performance, or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Management considers FFO a meaningful supplemental measure of operating performance because it primarily excludes the assumption that the value of the real estate assets diminishes predictably over time (i.e. depreciation), which is contrary to what the Company believes occurs with its assets, and because industry analysts have accepted it as a performance measure. FFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other REITs.

(1)	Revenue adjustments are straight-line base rent and above/below market lease amortization.
(2)	Same property revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure of performance that management believes improves the comparability of reporting periods by excluding the results of properties that were not in operation for the entirety of the comparable reporting periods.  We define same property revenue as total revenue less straight-line base rent and amortization of above/below market premiums and discounts related to leases acquired in connection with purchased real estate investment properties minus the revenue of properties not in operation for the entirety of the comparable reporting periods.  Same property revenue is a measure of the operating performance of the Company's properties but does not measure the Company's performance as a whole.  Same property revenue should not be considered as an alternative to total revenue, its most directly comparable GAAP measure, as an indicator of the Company's operating performance.  Management considers same property revenue a meaningful supplemental measure of operating performance because it is not affected by the cost of the Company's funding, the impact of depreciation and amortization expenses, gains or losses from the acquisition and sale of operating real estate assets, general and administrative expenses or other gains and losses that relate to ownership of the Company's properties.  Management believes the exclusion of these items from same property revenue is useful because the resulting measure captures the actual revenue generated by operating the Company's properties.  Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating same property revenue.  Accordingly, the Company's same property revenue may not be comparable to those of other REITs.

What did Saul Centers (BFS) report for Q4 2025 revenue and net income?

Saul Centers reported Q4 2025 revenue of $75.1M and net income of $8.2M. According to the company, revenue rose year-over-year while net income was lowered by new property start-up costs, notably Hampden House operations.

How did Hampden House opening affect Saul Centers' (BFS) results in 2025?

The Hampden House opening reduced net income by $5.1M in Q4 2025. According to the company, costs such as interest and taxes began expensing on Oct 1, 2025, while revenue ramps as occupancy increases (35.5% leased as of Feb 23, 2026).

Why did same-property net operating income for Saul Centers (BFS) fall in Q4 2025?

Same-property NOI fell 11.2% in Q4 2025, largely due to a non-recurring $8.7M rental payment in Q4 2024 and higher start-up costs. According to the company, excluding that payment, same-property NOI trends were positive.
