COLUMBIA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- COPT Defense Properties (“COPT Defense” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CDP) announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Management Comments

Stephen E. Budorick, COPT Defense’s President & Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our Defense/IT investment strategy, which concentrates our portfolio near priority U.S. defense installations, continued to generate strong results during the second quarter. FFO per share exceeded the midpoint of our guidance range by $0.02. Based on this outperformance, and our forecast for the remainder of the year, we increased the midpoint of 2025 FFO per share guidance by $0.01 to $2.67, which implies nearly 4% year-over-year growth.

We are exceeding our plan in several areas and raised 2025 guidance on multiple key metrics. We increased the midpoint of 2025 guidance for same property cash NOI growth by 50 basis points to 3.25%, and tenant retention by 250 basis points to 82.5%. Based on our excellent leasing activity, we raised our target for vacancy leasing by 12.5% from 400,000 square feet to 450,000 square feet, with 353,000 square feet signed in the first half of the year, and a strong pipeline of deals in advanced negotiations.

Our favorable business outlook is further supported by continued growth in defense spending as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which was signed into law on July 4, 2025, adds $150 billion to defense spending over the next few years, with $113 billion allocated to FY 2026. Combining this allocation with the President’s FY 2026 budget request, this amounts to nearly $950 billion and represents a 13% year-over-year increase, with additional funding directed towards the priority missions we support including cybersecurity, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, missile defense, unmanned autonomous vehicles, and naval fleet and aviation activity, among others. We expect this increase in defense spending will continue to support our strong vacancy leasing volumes and external growth through development and drive earnings growth and shareholder value. Looking forward, we continue to anticipate compound annual FFO per share growth of roughly 4% between 2023 to 2026.”
