Rhea-AI Filing Summary

LXP Industrial Trust issued a business update highlighting strong leasing, a major acquisition and higher 2026 guidance. During the second quarter to date, it completed 2.7 million square feet of new and renewal leases, bringing 2026 year-to-date leasing to 4.6 million square feet.

LXP bought a 37-acre infill industrial redevelopment site in Phoenix for $103 million, currently generating $16.1 million of annual cash rent with 2% annual escalators and an expected $82 million of rent over the remaining lease term. The company plans to redevelop the site into 400,000 to 450,000 square feet of industrial space after lease expiration.

For 2026, LXP now estimates net income attributable to common shareholders of $2.38 to $2.48 per diluted share and has raised its Adjusted Company FFO guidance to $3.30 to $3.40 per diluted share, assuming Same-Store NOI growth of 1.5%–2.5% and roughly $200 million of non-target market asset sales in the second half of 2026.

Insights

LXP pairs robust leasing and a high-yield Phoenix deal with a modest 2026 FFO guidance increase.

LXP Industrial Trust is showing healthy operational momentum. Year-to-date leasing reached 4.6 million square feet, including sizable second-generation extensions with a 22% average cash rent increase. This supports embedded rent growth across its Class A warehouse and distribution portfolio.

The $103 million Phoenix covered land investment adds a triple net lease through March 31, 2031, producing $16.1 million of annual cash rent and 2% annual escalations. Management cites an initial cash yield of 15.7% and plans to redevelop into 400,000–450,000 square feet of industrial space after lease expiry, aligning with its Sunbelt and infill focus.

Guidance for 2026 net income of $2.38–$2.48 per diluted share and Adjusted Company FFO of $3.30–$3.40 reflects the Phoenix acquisition, expected Same-Store NOI growth of 1.5%–2.5%, about $200 million of non-target market dispositions and $39–$41 million of general and administrative costs. Subsequent filings may provide updates as leasing and transaction activity progresses.

Adjusted Company FFO financial
"LXP revised and increased its 2026 Adjusted Company FFO guidance to a new range of $3.30 to $3.40"
Adjusted company FFO is a company‑specific, nonstandard measure of cash generated by a real estate or income‑producing business that starts from Funds From Operations and removes one‑time or nonoperational items management deems unrelated to core cash flow. Investors use it to see the business’s recurring ability to pay dividends, service debt and fund growth — like checking a household’s regular paycheck after ignoring one‑off bonuses or unexpected repairs.
Same-Store NOI financial
"Same-Store NOI growth for the full year 2026 of 1.5% - 2.5%, which is unchanged"
Same-store NOI (net operating income) measures the change in profit from a company’s properties or retail locations that were owned and operating in both the current and prior reporting periods, excluding income from newly acquired or sold assets. It matters to investors because it isolates organic performance—like rent increases, occupancy and cost control—so you can compare how the existing portfolio is actually doing over time, similar to tracking sales at the same set of stores rather than including new openings.
triple net leased financial
"It is 100% triple net leased to Phoenix Education Partners through March 31, 2031"
A triple net leased property is one where the renter pays not only base rent but also the building’s property taxes, insurance and most maintenance costs, shifting those variable expenses from the owner to the tenant. For investors, this arrangement often means steadier, more predictable income and lower operating costs, but also greater exposure to the creditworthiness and lease terms of the tenant—similar to collecting rent while the tenant handles the utility bills and repairs.
covered land investment financial
"LXP acquired a 37-acre infill industrial redevelopment site (“Phoenix Covered Land Investment”)"
1031 exchange financial
"The acquisition will be funded with 1031 exchange proceeds from sales of non-target market assets"
A 1031 exchange is a U.S. tax rule that lets an investor swap one investment property for another similar property and delay paying capital gains tax on the sale. Think of it like trading one house for another without cashing out: by postponing the tax bill, investors can keep more money working in real estate, which affects cash flow, reinvestment decisions, and long‑term returns.
GAAP yield financial
"Acquisition of the Phoenix Covered Land Investment for $103 million with GAAP and cash yields of 14.4% and 15.7%, respectively"

TRANSACTION ACTIVITY
In May, LXP acquired a 37-acre infill industrial redevelopment site (“Phoenix Covered Land Investment”) in the South Airport submarket of Phoenix for $103 million. The property is improved with an approximately 600,000 square foot Class A office campus and two parking structures. It is 100% triple net leased to Phoenix Education Partners through March 31, 2031, and produces annual cash rent of $16.1 million, with 2% annual rent escalations. LXP intends to redevelop the Phoenix Covered Land Investment into approximately 400,000 to 450,000 square feet of industrial facilities upon lease expiration. The acquisition will be funded with 1031 exchange proceeds from sales of non-target market assets. Additional details on the acquisition, along with other business updates, can be found in LXP’s June investor presentation at LXPJuneInvestorPresentation (https://ir.lxp.com/events-presentations/presentations/default.aspx).

T. Wilson Eglin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of LXP, commented, “Our recently acquired covered land investment is a premier infill industrial redevelopment opportunity that expands LXP’s presence in the Phoenix market, which is benefiting from favorable demographic trends and business investment in advanced manufacturing and data centers. The rental payments of $82 million over the remaining lease term, representing an initial cash yield of 15.7% is expected to result in an inexpensive land basis that will support attractive development yields at the end of the lease term.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Definitions
LXP has used non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation G in this Press Release and in other public disclosures.

LXP believes that the measures defined below are helpful to investors in measuring our performance or that of an individual investment. Since these measures exclude certain items which are included in their respective most comparable measures under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), reliance on the measures has limitations; management compensates for these limitations by using the measures simply as supplemental measures that are weighed in balance with other GAAP measures. These measures are not necessarily indications of our cash flow available to fund cash needs. Additionally, they should not be used as an alternative to the respective most comparable GAAP measures when evaluating LXP's financial performance or cash flow from operating, investing or financing activities or liquidity.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and Adjusted Company FFO: LXP believes that Funds from Operations, or FFO, which is a non-GAAP measure, is a widely recognized and appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT. LXP believes FFO is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. As a result, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, interest costs and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation and amortization, providing perspective that may not necessarily be apparent from net income.

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or Nareit, defines FFO as “net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains

                                        
Page 4
and losses from the sales of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. The reconciling items include amounts to adjust earnings from consolidated partially-owned entities and equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates to FFO.” FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.

LXP presents FFO available to common shareholders - basic and also presents FFO available to all equityholders - diluted on a company-wide basis as if all securities that are convertible, at the holder's option, into LXP’s common shares, are converted at the beginning of the period. LXP also presents Adjusted Company FFO available to all equityholders - diluted which adjusts FFO available to all equityholders - diluted for certain items which we believe are not indicative of the operating results of LXP's real estate portfolio and not comparable from period to period. LXP believes this is an appropriate presentation as it is frequently requested by security analysts, investors and other interested parties. Since others do not calculate these measures in a similar fashion, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures as reported by others. These measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of LXP’s operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

GAAP and Cash Yield or Capitalization Rate: GAAP and cash yields or capitalization rates are measures of operating performance used to evaluate the individual performance of an investment. These measures are estimates and are not presented or intended to be viewed as a liquidity or performance measure that present a numerical measure of LXP's historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows. The yield or capitalization rate is calculated by dividing the annualized NOI (as defined below, except GAAP rent adjustments are added back to rental income to calculate GAAP yield or capitalization rate) the investment is expected to generate, (or has generated) divided by the acquisition/completion cost, (or sale price). Stabilized yields assume 100% occupancy and the payment of estimated costs to achieve 100% occupancy excluding developer incentive fees or partner promotes, if any.

Same-Store NOI: Same-Store NOI represents the NOI for consolidated properties that were owned, stabilized and included in our portfolio for the period commencing January 1, 2025 and through the end of the current reporting period. As Same-Store NOI excludes the change in NOI from acquired, expanded, disposed of properties and properties with significant casualty loss, it highlights operating trends such as occupancy levels, rental rates and operating costs on properties. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Same-Store NOI, and accordingly, LXP's Same-Store NOI may not be comparable to other REITs. Management believes that Same-Store NOI is a useful supplemental measure of LXP's operating performance. However, Same-Store NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of LXP's financial performance since it does not reflect the operations of LXP's entire portfolio, nor does it reflect the impact of general and administrative expenses, acquisition-related expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization costs, other nonproperty income and losses, the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of LXP's properties, or trends in development and construction activities which are significant economic costs and activities that could materially impact LXP's results from operations. LXP believes that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Same-Store NOI.
