Seritage Growth Properties Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Operating Results

Key Terms

capitalization rate financial

The capitalization rate is a percentage that helps investors estimate how much money a property or investment might generate relative to its value. It’s similar to a return rate, showing how quickly an investment could pay for itself over time. This rate helps compare different investments and assess their potential profitability.

impairment charges financial

Impairment charges are one-time accounting write-downs taken when a company decides an asset — like a factory, brand, patent, or investment — is worth less than it was recorded for. Like marking down the price of a damaged item on a store shelf, they reduce reported profits and the asset’s book value; investors watch them because they can signal lasting business problems or change future earnings and balance-sheet strength.

other-than-temporary impairment financial

Other-than-temporary impairment is an accounting write-down taken when a company concludes that an asset—most often an investment or loan—has lost value that is unlikely to recover. For investors, it matters because the write-down reduces reported profits and the company’s net worth and can signal lasting credit or portfolio problems, similar to recognizing a car has been permanently damaged and selling it for much less.

going concern financial

A going concern is a business that is expected to continue its operations and meet its obligations for the foreseeable future, rather than shutting down or selling off assets. This assumption matters to investors because it indicates stability and ongoing profitability, making the business a more reliable investment. Think of it as believing a restaurant will stay open and serve customers, rather than closing down suddenly.

class action lawsuit regulatory

A class action lawsuit is a single legal case filed by a group of people who claim they suffered similar harm from the same company or product, pooling resources to pursue the claim together like a neighborhood suing over a shared problem. It matters to investors because a class action can lead to large payouts, regulatory scrutiny, management distractions or reputational damage that may reduce a company’s profits and drive its stock price down.

forward-looking statements regulatory

Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Seritage Growth Properties (NYSE: SRG) (the “Company”), a national owner and developer of retail, residential and mixed-use properties today reported financial and operating results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025.

We generated total gross proceeds of $230.7 million and repaid $190.0 million of debt, leaving a balance of $50.0 million on our term loan facility. As we look ahead in 2026, the team is focused on continuing to execute on the monetization of our remaining assets, many of which are currently in the market. In addition, we are pursuing several different financing alternatives to address our upcoming term loan facility maturity and we are also continuing to explore the possibility of a strategic transaction now that we have a simplified portfolio,” said Adam Metz, CEO & President.

Financial Summary

The table below provides a summary of the Company’s financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025:

(in thousands except per share amounts)		Three Months Ended								Year Ended
		December 31, 2025				December 31, 2024				December 31, 2025				December 31, 2024
Net loss attributable to Seritage common shareholders		$	(6,310	)		$	(12,576	)		$	(73,115	)		$	(158,436	)
Net loss per share attributable to Seritage common shareholders			(0.11	)			(0.22	)			(1.30	)			(2.82	)

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash on hand of $62.3 million, including $14.2 million of restricted cash. Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company sold an interest in an unconsolidated property and received a distribution of $5.7 million. As of March 30, 2026 there is one consolidated property under contract to sell for aggregate gross proceeds of $11.0 million. The anticipated proceeds from the sales of assets under contract with closings that are deemed probable and existing cash on hand will not allow the Company to fund its operating and other expenses, including general and administrative expenses and debt service (collectively, “Obligations”) because the term loan facility, which matures on July 31, 2026, is presently a current Obligation. This uncertainty raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. For more information on our liquidity position, including our going concern analysis, please see the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 7 and in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” each in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Litigation Matters

On July 1, 2024, a purported shareholder of the Company filed a class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Zhengxu He, Trustee of the He & Fang 2005 Revocable Living Trust v. Seritage Growth Properties, Case No. 1:24:CV:05007, alleging that the Company, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer violated the federal securities laws (the “Securities Action”). The complaint seeks to bring a class action on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Company securities between July 7, 2022 and May 10, 2024. The complaint alleges that the defendants violated federal securities laws by issuing false, misleading, and/or omissive disclosures concerning the Company’s alleged lack of effective internal controls regarding the identification and review of impairment indicators for investments in real estate and the Company’s value and projected gross proceeds of certain real estate assets. The complaint seeks compensatory damages in an unspecified amount to be proven at trial, an award of reasonable costs and expenses to the plaintiff and class counsel, and such other and further relief as the court may deem just and proper. On or around January 15, 2025, another purported shareholder of the Company filed a derivative lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, captioned Paul Sidhu v. Seritage Growth Properties, Case No. 1:25-cv-00152 (the “Sidhu Derivative Action”). On or around January 20, 2025, another purported shareholder of the Company filed a derivative lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, captioned James Wallen v. Seritage Growth Properties, Case No. 1:25-cv-00190 (the “Wallen Derivative Action”). On or around May 8, 2025, another purported shareholder of the Company filed a derivative lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Derrick Cheroti v. Seritage Growth Properties, Case No. 1:25-vc-00152 (the “Cheroti Derivative Action”). The derivative actions allege the same or similar claimed acts and omissions underlying the Securities Action, assert breach of fiduciary duty and other claims against the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and current and former members of the Company’s Board of Trustees, and name the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaint in each of the derivative actions seeks compensatory damages in an unspecified amount to be proven at trial, an order directing the Company and the individual defendants to reform and improve the Company’s corporate governance and internal procedures, restitution from the individual defendants, an award of costs and expenses to the plaintiff and reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees, costs, and expenses, and such other and further relief as the court may deem just and proper. The complaint in the Cheroti Derivative Action also seeks an award of punitive damages, an order directing the individual defendants to account for all damages caused by them and all profits and special benefits and unjust enrichment obtained, and the imposition of a constructive trust. On September 2, 2025, the court in the Cheroti Derivative Action stayed the Cheroti Derivative Action until resolution of the anticipated motion to dismiss in the Securities Action. On November 5, 2025, the court in the District of Maryland proceedings consolidated the Sidhu Derivative Action and the Wallen Derivative Action (the “Consolidated Derivative Action”) and appointed lead counsel. On November 12, 2025, the court in the Consolidated Derivative Action stayed the Consolidated Derivative Action until resolution of the anticipated motion to dismiss in the Securities Action. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the allegations in these lawsuits.

Strategic Review

At the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on October 24, 2022, Seritage shareholders approved the Company’s Plan of Sale. The strategic review process remains ongoing as the Company executes the Plan of Sale, and the Company remains open-minded to pursuing value-maximizing alternatives, including a potential sale of the Company. There can be no assurance regarding the success of the process.

Market Update

The Company continues to face challenging market conditions, such as elevated interest rates and the availability of debt and equity capital, and it continues to assess other potential macroeconomic impacts including supply chain issues, international conflicts associated with tariffs, potential labor issues, and uncertainty caused by wars. While interest rates have started to decline, they remain high relative to interest rates in 2022. Additionally, raising equity capital for land development deals remains challenging. These conditions could apply downward pricing pressures on our remaining assets. In making decisions regarding whether and when to transact on each of the Company’s remaining assets, the Company considers various factors including, but not limited to, the breadth of the buyer universe, macroeconomic conditions including the availability and cost of financing, as well as corporate, operating and other capital expenses required to carry the asset. If these challenging market conditions persist, then we expect that they will continue to adversely impact the Plan of Sale proceeds from our assets and the amounts and timing of distributions to shareholders.
