Total revenues were $489.0 million for the quarter and $973.8 million year-to-date, up from $469.8 million and $934.4 million in 2025, driven by rental growth across Southern California, Northern California and Seattle Metro.
Quarterly net income was $66.9 million versus $231.5 million a year earlier, and $179.1 million year-to-date versus $444.3 million, primarily reflecting much smaller gains on sale of real estate and land ($2.0 million versus $126.2 million for the quarter).

Operating cash flow strengthened to $541.2 million for the first six months of 2026 from $497.6 million.
At June 30, 2026, total assets were $12.9 billion and total debt, net, was $6.7 billion, including $5.6 billion of unsecured debt and $345.0 million of commercial paper.
