The Macerich Company (NYSE: MAC) trims Q2 loss, boosts FFO and equity
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
The Macerich Company reported Q2 2026 results showing a narrower net loss attributable to the Company of $27.1 million, or $(0.10) per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $40.9 million, or $(0.16) per share, a year earlier, helped by a gain on sale of assets. FFO, as adjusted, rose to $100.4 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, from $88.7 million, or $0.34 per share, while Go-Forward Portfolio Centers NOI excluding lease termination income increased 3.8%.
Operational metrics strengthened, with leased portfolio occupancy at 94.0% as of June 30, 2026 (95.5% for Go-Forward Portfolio Centers), up from 92.0% a year earlier. Portfolio tenant sales per square foot for spaces under 10,000 square feet over the trailing twelve months rose to $919 from $849, and the company signed about 1.3 million square feet of leases in the quarter, supporting an estimated $124 million new-store revenue pipeline at its share through 2028.
On the balance sheet, Macerich acquired Annapolis Mall for $260 million plus a $12 million adjacent parcel and financed it partly with its revolver. It raised approximately $23.8 million of gross proceeds through its ATM program and completed a 22,080,000-share underwritten offering at $21.00, generating net proceeds of $448.2 million mainly used to repay revolver borrowings and fund investments. A 16.1 million-share forward offering at $23.90 provides additional future equity. Total portfolio debt at share was $6.34 billion, with Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA of 7.30x (6.83x pro forma for unsettled forward equity), and liquidity was about $1.2 billion, including the full $900 million revolving credit facility. A quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per share was declared, payable September 28, 2026.
