Key Terms

operating ffo financial
Operating FFO is a cash-based performance measure used mainly by real estate companies to show the recurring cash generated by their core property operations after removing accounting items that don’t reflect everyday cash flow, like depreciation or one-time gains and losses. Investors use it like a household budget that separates steady rent income from occasional windfalls or big repairs to judge dividend sustainability and compare operational health across companies.
same-property net operating income financial
Same-property net operating income is the rental income from properties owned throughout the entire comparison period minus the regular operating costs for those same properties, excluding effects from recent purchases, sales or major renovations. Investors use it like a "same-store sales" comparison to judge whether a real estate portfolio is growing revenue and controlling costs on a steady, apples‑to‑apples basis, rather than being boosted by new assets or one-off events.
at-the-market equity offering financial
An at-the-market equity offering is a way for a public company to raise cash by selling newly issued shares directly into the open market at current market prices over time through a broker. Think of it as gradually selling items on an online marketplace at whatever buyers are paying now rather than holding a single big sale; it gives the company flexible access to funds but can lower each existing owner’s share of the company and put gentle downward pressure on the stock price if done in large amounts.
signed not opened technical
Signed not opened describes a delivery status where someone has acknowledged receipt of a document or package by signing for it but did not inspect or unpack the contents at the time of delivery. For investors this matters because it confirms legal or record receipt of important materials—like shareholder notices, regulatory filings, or tender documents—even if the recipient hasn’t yet reviewed the information that could affect decisions or deadlines. Think of it as signing a sealed envelope: you’ve accepted it, but you haven’t seen what’s inside.
reit financial
A real estate investment trust (REIT) is a company that owns, operates, or finances income-producing real estate, like shopping centers, apartments, or office buildings. For investors, REITs offer a way to invest in real estate without having to buy property directly, often providing regular income through dividends. They function like a mutual fund for real estate, making it easier for people to add property investments to their portfolio.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Curbline Properties Corp. (NYSE: CURB) (the “Company” or “Curbline”), an owner of convenience centers in suburban, high household income communities, announced today operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net income attributable to Curbline was $10.5 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $20.9 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the year-ago period.

“Curbline’s second quarter results highlight the strength of the platform that we have constructed with record investment volume of $375 million, over $500 million of capital raised, and an uptick in leasing volume with the vast majority of the Company’s SNO pipeline expected to commence rent payment by March 2027. Curbline is again raising its full year investment target and OFFO guidance range given the significant outperformance to date with all cash and capital commitments needed to fund the revised investment pipeline on hand,” commented David R. Lukes, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Looking forward, we believe Curbline remains uniquely positioned for growth given its differentiated investment focus, the leasing economics of the Company’s property type, and its balance sheet.”

Results for the Second Quarter

  • Second quarter net income attributable to Curbline was $6.9 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $10.4 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the year-ago period. The decrease year-over-year was primarily due to an increase in interest expense and in depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by the net impact of asset acquisitions.
  • Second quarter operating funds from operations attributable to Curbline (“Operating FFO” or “OFFO”) was $33.3 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared to $26.9 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, in the year-ago period. The increase year-over-year was primarily due to the net impact of asset acquisitions, partially offset by an increase in interest expense and a higher weighted-average share count resulting from shares issued to fund acquisitions.

Significant Second Quarter Activity and Recent Activity

  • During the second quarter, acquired 30 convenience shopping centers for an aggregate purchase price of $374.1 million.
  • During the second quarter, sold 6.6 million shares of common stock on a forward basis under its at-the-market equity offering program for expected gross proceeds of $186.5 million before issuance costs.
  • In June, conducted an offering of 11.5 million shares of common stock on a forward basis generating expected gross proceeds of $354.8 million before issuance costs.
  • During the second quarter, settled 8.4 million shares of common stock that were sold on a forward basis generating net proceeds of $199.8 million.
  • In June, issued the Company's 2025 Corporate Sustainability Report marking both the first report as a standalone public company and Curbline’s first full year of sustainability reporting. The report was completed in alignment with the Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosure and can be found at (https://curbline.com/our-story#sustainability).
  • As of June 30, 2026, adjusted for forward equity sales completed year to date, the Company had $850.9 million of cash and capital commitments for future acquisitions, including $154.7 million of cash and $696.2 million of expected gross proceeds from unsettled forward equity sales.
  • In the third quarter to date, acquired four convenience shopping centers for an aggregate purchase price of $47.1 million.

Significant Year to Date 2026 Activity

  • Year to date, acquired 48 convenience shopping centers for an aggregate purchase price of $563.7 million.
  • Year to date, sold 29.3 million shares of common stock on a forward basis in follow-on public offerings and under its at-the-market equity offering program, generating expected gross proceeds of $823.5 million before issuance costs.

Key Quarterly Operating Results

  • Reported an increase of 2.1% in same-property net operating income (“SPNOI”) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 compared to June 30, 2025.
  • Generated cash new leasing spreads of 20.2% and cash renewal leasing spreads of 7.4%, for the trailing twelve-month period ended June 30, 2026 and cash new leasing spreads of 8.2% and cash renewal leasing spreads of 8.6% for the second quarter of 2026.
  • Generated straight-lined new leasing spreads of 35.7% and straight-lined renewal leasing spreads of 17.1%, for the trailing twelve-month period ended June 30, 2026 and straight-lined new leasing spreads of 27.1% and straight-lined renewal leasing spreads of 18.1% for the second quarter of 2026.
  • Reported a leased rate of 96.5% at June 30, 2026 compared to 96.1% at June 30, 2025 and 96.7% at December 31, 2025. The sequential increase was due to an acceleration in net leasing activity, partially offset by an approximately 20 basis point impact from acquisitions.
  • As of June 30, 2026, the Signed Not Opened spread was 220 basis points, representing $7.6 million of annualized base rent.

2026 Guidance

The Company has updated its guidance for net income attributable to Curbline for 2026 to be from $0.27 to $0.32 per diluted share and Operating FFO to be from $1.24 to $1.26 per diluted share.

Non-GAAP Measures and Other Operational Metrics

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used as a standard in the real estate industry and is a widely accepted measure of REIT performance. The Company believes that both FFO and Operating FFO provide additional indicators of the financial performance of a REIT, more appropriately measure the core operations of the Company, and provide benchmarks to its peer group.

FFO is generally defined and calculated by the Company as net income attributable to Curbline (computed in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”)), adjusted to exclude (i) gains and losses from disposition of real estate property, which are presented net of taxes, (ii) impairment charges on real estate property, (iii) gains and losses from changes in control and (iv) certain non-cash items. These non-cash items principally include real property depreciation and amortization of intangibles net of depreciation allocated to non-controlling interests. The Company’s calculation of FFO is consistent with the definition of FFO provided by NAREIT. The Company calculates Operating FFO as FFO excluding certain non-operating charges, income and gains/losses. Operating FFO is useful to investors as the Company removes non-comparable charges, income and gains/losses to analyze the results of its operations and assess performance of the core operating real estate portfolio. Other real estate companies may calculate FFO and Operating FFO in a different manner.

In calculating the expected range for or amount of net income attributable to Curbline to estimate projected FFO and Operating FFO for future periods, the Company does not include a projection of gains and losses from the disposition of real estate property, potential impairments and reserves of real estate property, debt extinguishment costs and certain transaction costs. Other real estate companies may calculate expected FFO and Operating FFO in a different manner.

The Company also uses net operating income (“NOI”), a non-GAAP financial measure, as a supplemental performance measure. NOI is calculated as property revenues less property-related expenses and excludes depreciation and amortization expense, interest income and expense and corporate level transactions. The Company believes NOI provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level and, when compared across periods, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition and disposition activity on an unleveraged basis.

The Company presents NOI information herein on a same-property basis (“SPNOI”). The Company defines SPNOI as property revenues less property-related expenses, which excludes depreciation and amortization expense, interest income and expense and corporate level transactions, as well as straight-line rental income and reimbursements and expenses, lease termination income, management fee expense and fair market value of leases. SPNOI only includes assets owned for the entirety of both comparable periods. Other real estate companies may calculate NOI and SPNOI in a different manner. The Company believes SPNOI provides investors with additional information regarding the operating performance of comparable assets because it excludes certain non-cash and non-comparable items as noted above.

FFO, Operating FFO, NOI and SPNOI do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as alternatives to net income computed in accordance with GAAP, as indicators of the Company’s operating performance or as alternatives to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures have been provided herein.

The Company calculates Cash Leasing Spreads by comparing the prior tenant's annual base rent in the final year of the prior lease to the executed tenant’s annual base rent in the first year of the executed lease. Straight-Lined Leasing Spreads are calculated by comparing the prior tenant’s average base rent over the prior lease term to the executed tenant’s average base rent over the term of the executed lease. For both Cash and Straight-Lined Leasing Spreads, the reported calculation excludes first generation units and spaces vacant at the time of acquisition and includes all leases for spaces vacant greater than twelve months along with split and combination deals.
