InflationInflation, cost of capital and related volatility in the economy could negatively impact our results of operations and our tenants.
Inflation in the United States accelerated rapidly during 2021 and 2022. During 20232022 and 2024,has since moderated. Though significantly lower than the peaks of 2021 and 2022, current inflation decreasedstill butsurpasses remainedlevels at an elevated level relativeprior to the years preceding 2021,2021 and inflation may increase again in the future. Rising inflation, and any related impacts, including increased prices for consumer goods and higher interest rates and wages, and any fiscal or other policy interventions by the U.S. government in reaction to such events, could negatively impact our results of operations, and could also negatively impact our tenants’ businesses. Most of our leases require tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, although some larger tenants have capped the amount of these operating expenses they are responsible for under their lease. However, there can be no assurance that our tenants will be able to absorb these expense increases and be able to continue to pay us their portion of operating expenses, capital expenditures and rent. While our leases generally provide for fixed annual rent increases, high levels of inflation would likely outpace our contractual rent increases. As a result, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay dividends and distributions to shareholders could be adversely affected over time. The duration and extent of any prolonged periods of inflation, and any related adverse effects on our results of operationsoperations, financial condition or cost of capital, remain inherently uncertain and financialcould condition,also remainadversely unknownimpact atour thisfuture time.business plans and ability to accretively fund future growth.
Additionally, inflationary pricing has had and may continue to have a negative effect on the construction costs necessary to complete our development and redevelopment projects, including, but not limited to, costs of construction materials, labor and services from third-party contractors and suppliers. Certain mitigating factors and contingencies are built into our contracts; however, no assurance can be given that our efforts at mitigation will be successful. Higher construction costs could adversely impact our investments in real estate assets and expected yields on our redevelopment projects.
International trade disputes, including U.S. trade tariffs and retaliatory tariffs, or anticipation of the same, could adversely impact our business.
International trade disputes, including threatened or implemented tariffs imposed by the U.S. and threatened or implemented tariffs imposed by foreign countries in retaliation, could adversely impact our business. Many of our tenants sell imported goods, and tariffs or other trade restrictions could materially increase costs for these tenants. To the extent our tenants are unable to pass these costs on to their customers, our tenants’ operations could be adversely impacted, which among other things, could weaken demand by those tenants for our real estate. If the operations of potential future tenants are similarly adversely impacted, overall demand for our real estate may also weaken. In addition, international trade disputes, including those related to tariffs, could result in inflationary pressures that directly impact our costs, such as costs for steel, lumber and other materials applicable to our development and redevelopment projects. Trade disputes could also adversely impact global supply chainschains, which could further increase costs for us and our tenants or delay delivery of key inventories and supplies.
E-commerce is a vital part of our tenants’ businessbusinesses and continues to gain popularity, with growth in internet sales likely to continue in the future. E-commerceAdditionally, many of our tenants face increasing competition from E-commerce, which has previously affected, and could resultcontinue to affect in the future, decisions made by current and prospective tenants in leasing space and how they compete and innovate in a downturnrapidly inchanging retail environment, including potentially reducing the businesssize of some of our current tenants and could affect the way other current and future tenants lease space. For example, the migration towards e-commerce has led many omnichannel retailers to prune theor number and size of their traditional “brick and mortar” retail locations toin increasinglythe relyfuture and increasing reliance on e-commerceE-commerce and alternative distribution channels. ManyFor example, many tenants also permit merchandise purchased on their websites to be picked up at, or returned to, their physical store locations, which may have the effect of decreasing the reported amount of their in-store sales and the amount of rent we are able to collect from them (particularly with respect to those tenants who pay rent based on a percentage of their in-store sales). We cannot predict with certainty how growth in e-commerce will impact the demand for space at our properties or how much revenue will be generated at traditional store locations in the future. If the continued shift towards e-commerce causes declinesresults in theany “brick and mortar” sales generated by our tenants and/or causes our tenants to reduceof the sizeimpacts ornoted number of their retail locations in the future,above, our cash flow, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Competition in the retail real estate industry is intense. WeThere competeare with a large number ofnumerous public and private retail real estate companies,companies including property owners and developers. Wethat compete with theseour companiesefforts to attract customers to our properties, as well as to attract anchor, non-anchor and other tenants. We also compete with these companies for development, redevelopment and acquisition opportunities. Other owners and developers may attempt to take existing tenants from our shopping centers by offering lower rents or other incentives to compel them to relocate. This competition could have a material adverse effect on our ability to lease space and on the amount of rent and expense reimbursements that we receive.
From time to time, certain of our tenants have become insolvent or declared bankruptcy and other tenants may declare bankruptcy or become insolvent in the future. Tenants who file for bankruptcy protection have the legal right to reject any or all of their leases and close related stores. A tenant in bankruptcy may also attempt to renegotiate their lease or request significant rent concessions. In the event that a tenant with a significant number of leases in our properties files for bankruptcy and rejects its leases, we could experience a significant reduction in our revenues, and we may not be able to collect all pre-petition amounts owed by that party, which may adversely affect our cash flow, financial condition and results of operations.party. The bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant at one of our properties could also result in a lower level of net income and negatively impact our ability to lease other existing or future vacancies at any such property.

BecauseEconomic aconditions in markets where our properties are concentrated can greatly influence our financial performance. A significant number of our properties are located in the New York metropolitan area, and, as such, we are particularly susceptible to adverse economic and other developments in that area. Collectively, our New York metropolitan area properties in the aggregate generated approximately 65% of our annualized base rent as of December 31, 2024.2025. Real estate markets are subject to economic downturns, and we cannot predict the economic conditions in the New York metropolitan area in either the short-term or long-term. Poor economic or market conditions in the New York metropolitan area may adversely affect our cash flow, financial condition and results of operations.
The current market for acquisitions of properties in our core markets continues to be competitive. There are numerous commercial developers, publicly-traded and privately-held REITs, private equity investors, institutional investment funds and other investors that compete with us in seeking properties for acquisition or redevelopment. This competition may increase the demand for the types of properties in which we typically invest and, therefore, increase the prices paid for such acquisition properties.properties, Weif alsowe faceare significantable competitionto forattain attractivethem acquisitionat opportunitiesall. fromIn anaddition, indeterminatethese numbercompetitors ofhave, investors,or including publicly-traded and privately-held REITs, private equity investors and institutional investment funds, some of whichmay have access to, greater financial resources, greater ability to borrow funds and the willingness to accept more risk than we can prudently manage,manage. includingThis riskscompetition withmay respectresult in a higher cost than we are willing to thepay geographicor proximitylower ofrents investmentsthan andwe thewish paymentto of higher acquisition prices.collect.

Real estate is relatively difficult to dispose of quickly. Consequently, we may have limited ability to promptly change our portfolio in response to changes in economic or other conditions. Moreover,Market conditions, including macroeconomic events, interest rate changes and capital availability, may impact our ability to disposesell of,properties oron financeour realpreferred estate may be materiallytiming and adverselyat affectedprices duringand periods of uncertainty or unfavorable conditions in the credit markets asreturns we ordeem potentialacceptable, buyersif ofat our real estate may experience difficulty in obtaining financing.all. To dispose of low basis deferral or tax-protected properties efficientlyefficiently, we from time to time use like-kind exchanges, which are intended to qualify for non-recognition of taxable gain,gain but can be difficult to consummate and result in the property for which the disposed assets are exchanged inheriting their low tax bases and other tax attributes (including tax protection covenants). These challenges related to dispositions may limit our flexibility.
Real estate is carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Our properties are individually reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstancescircumstances, including declines in property operating performance and general market conditions, indicate that the carrying amount of the property may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the aggregate projected future cash flows over the anticipated holding period on an undiscounted basis, taking into account the appropriate capitalization rate in determining a future terminal value. An impairment loss is based on the excess of the property’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Recording an impairment charge results in an immediate reduction in our income in the period in which the charge is taken, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. ForWe example,did not recognize any impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2025 or 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we recognized such an impairment in the first quarter of 2023charge related to an office and retail property located in Brooklyn, NY.
Departure or loss of key management could adversely affect our business and operations.
The success of our business depends, in significant part, on the leadership and performance of our executive management team and other key personnel, and our ability to attract and retain talented employees may significantly impact our future performance. If any of our executive officers or other key personnel were to leave the Company for any reason, we may not be able to replace these individuals with an executive of equal skill, ability, and industry expertise within a reasonable timeframe, which could have a material adverse effect on our cash flow, financial condition and results of operations.
We have historically used moderate levels of leverage and expect to continue to incur indebtedness to support our activities. As of December 31, 2024,2025, our outstanding indebtedness was $1.6 billion, all of which $100.9 million was variablefixed rate indebtedness. If we are unable to obtain debt financing or refinance existing debt upon maturity on terms favorable to us, or at all, our financial condition and results of operations would likely be adversely affected. As of theDecember date31, of this filing,2025, we have approximately $23.7$113.5 million of mortgage debt, with ana weighted average interest rate of 4.0%,3.9%, maturing within the next 12 months related to a mortgage loanloans encumbering onethree of our properties. We are actively exploring our options to refinance; however, there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so prior to maturity or at a rate that is favorable to us.
As of December 31, 2024,2025, approximatelywe 6%had no variable rate debt outstanding and our only potential exposure is related to our line of ourcredit, currentwhich outstanding debt borebears interest at a variable ratesrate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), plus an applicable margin per the respective loan agreements.agreement. We are exposed to risks related to a potential rising interest rate environment for our current or any future variable interest rate debt. Interest expense on our variable rate debt at December 31, 2024, excluding the mortgage loan secured by Plaza at Woodbridge as the loan is hedged with an interest rate cap, would increase by approximately $0.5 million annually for every 100-basis-point increase in interest rates. While we may enter into interest rate hedging transactions with counterparties, there can be no guarantee that the future financial condition of these counterparties will enable them to fulfill their obligations under such agreements.
If the cost or amount of our debt increases or we cannot refinance our debt in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms, we are at risk of default on our obligations, which could have a material adverse effect on ourthe company,Company, including our ability to make distributions to our shareholders.
The mortgages on our properties contain customary covenants such as those that limit our ability, without the prior consent of the lender, to further mortgage the applicable property or toproperty, reduce insurance coverage.coverage, execute certain leases or undertake certain development activities. The Revolvingagreements Creditfor Agreementour contains,unsecured line of credit and term loans contain, and any debt that we may obtain in the future may contain, customary restrictions, requirements and other limitations on our ability to incur indebtedness, including covenants (i) that limit our ability to incur debt based upon (1) our ratio of total debt to total assets, (2) our ratio of secured debt to total assets, (3) our ratio of earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) to interest expense and (4) our ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges, and (ii) that require us to maintain a certain level of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt. Our ability to borrow is subject to compliance with these and other covenants. Failure to comply with our covenants could cause a default under the applicable debt instrument and we may then be required to repay such debt with capital from other sources or to give possession of a secured property to the lender. Under those circumstances, other sources of capital may not be available to us or may be available only on unattractive terms.
We depend primarily on external financing to fund the growth of our business because one of the requirements of the Code for a REIT is that it distributes at least 90% of its taxable income, excluding net capital gains, to its shareholders. There is a separate requirement to distribute net capital gains or pay a corporate level tax in lieu thereof. Our access to debt or equity financing depends on conditionsseveral factors, including general market conditions, our current and potential future earnings, the market’s perception of our growth potential and risk profile, and our cash distributions. Disruptions in the capitalfinancial markets generallycould impact the overall amount of debt and theequity willingnesscapital available, our ability to access new capital on acceptable terms and loan-to-value ratios which could cause a tightening of thirdlender partiesunderwriting tostandards lendand toterms orand tohigher makeinterest equityrate investments.spreads. ThereAs such, there can be no assurance that new financing or other capital will be available or available on acceptable terms. The failure to obtain financing or other capital could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We face risks associated with security breaches, whether through cyber attacks or cyber intrusions over the internet, malware, computer viruses, attachments to emails, persons inside our organization or persons with access to systems, and other significant disruptions of our Information Technology (“IT”) networks and related systems. Similarly, vendors from whom we receive outsourced IT-related services, including third-party platforms, face the same risks, which could in turn affect us. Our internal and outsourced IT networks and related systems are essential to the operation of our business and our ability to perform day to day operations.
Cyberattacks are expected to accelerate on a global basis in frequency and magnitude as threat actors are becoming increasingly sophisticated in using techniques and tools, including artificial intelligence (“AI”), that circumvent security controls, evade detection and remove forensic evidence. Despite the implementation of security measures for our disaster recovery and business continuity plans, our information systems may be vulnerable and a significant breach could materially and adversely affect our operations, results and financial condition.
Our use of, and reliance on, AI and machine learning technologies, including generative AI tools used by us or by our vendors, presents additional risks. Such technologies may involve the ingestion or processing of proprietary, confidential or sensitive information, and may increase the risk that such information is disclosed, misused or otherwise compromised, including through unintended outputs or model behavior. In addition, vendors may incorporate AI tools into their products or services without disclosing such use to us, and the providers of such tools may not meet existing or evolving legal, regulatory or industry standards related to privacy, data protection or information security.
Any such issues, including a breach or significant and extended disruption in the functioning of our systems, including our primary website, may damage our reputation and cause us to lose availability of our systems data, customers, tenants and revenues, generate third-party claims, result in the unintended and/or unauthorized public disclosure or the misappropriation of proprietary, personal identifying and confidential information, and require us to incur significant expenses to address and remediate or otherwise resolve these kinds of issues, and we may not be able to recover these expenses in whole or in any part from our service providers, responsible parties, or insurance carriers which could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.
Despite system redundancy, the implementation of security measures and the existence of a disaster recovery plan for our IT infrastructure, our systems are vulnerable to damages from any number of sources, including computer viruses, unauthorized access, energy blackouts, natural disasters, terrorism, war and telecommunication failures. We have placed reliance on third-party managed services to perform a number of IT-related functions and we may experience system difficulties related to our platform and integrating the services provided by third parties. If we experience a system failure or accident that causes interruptions in our operations, we could experience material and adverse disruptions to our business. We may also incur additional costs to remedy damages caused by such disruptions.
Our two properties in Puerto Rico made up approximately 8% of our net operating income (“NOI”) for the year ended December 31, 2024.2025. Puerto Rico has faced significant fiscal and economic challenges in previous years, including its government filing for bankruptcy protection in 2017, and continues to face challenges resulting from natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes. Such events, individually or in the aggregate, can disrupt the local economy and could result in less disposable income for the purchase of goods sold at our properties and the inability of merchants to pay rent and other charges. Any of these events could negatively impact our ability to lease space on terms and conditions we seek and could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Any of these events could negatively impact our ability to lease space on terms and conditions we seek and could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Natural disasters and climate change could have a concentrated impact on us.
We own properties near the Atlantic Coast and in Puerto Rico which are subject to natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods, earthquakes and storm surges. We also have two properties in California that could be impacted by earthquakes and wildfires. Changing weather patterns and climatic conditions, resulting primarily from climate change, may affect the predictability and frequency of natural disasters and severe weather conditions and create additional uncertainty as to future trends and exposures, including certain areas in which our portfolio is concentrated, such as the New York metropolitan area. As a result, we could become subject to business interruption, significant losses and repair costs, such as those we experienced from Hurricane Maria in 2017, which damaged and caused the temporary closure of our two properties in Puerto Rico.costs. We maintain comprehensive, all-risk property and rental value insurance coverage on our properties, however losses resulting from a natural disaster may be subject to a deductible or not fully covered and such losses could adversely affect our cash flow, financial condition and results of operations.
We maintain numerous insurance policies including for general liability, property, pollution, acts of terrorism, trustees’ and officers’, cyber, workers’ compensation and automobile-related liabilities.liabilities However,which allwe believe are of the types and amounts customarily obtained for or by owners of similar types of real property assets located in the areas where our properties are located. All such policies are subject to the terms, conditions, exclusions, deductibles and sub-limits, among other limiting factors. For example, our terrorism insurance policy excludes coverage for nuclear, biological, chemical or radiological terrorism events as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act.
We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of available coverage. Certain premiums have increased significantly and may continue to do so in the future. We cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, and expect premiums across most coverage lines will continue to increase in light of recent events, including hurricanes and flooding in our core markets. TheAs incurrencea result, we may reduce the insurance we procure or we may elect or be compelled to self-insure certain lines of coverage up to certain limits, such as through our wholly-owned captive insurance program. Incurring uninsured losses, costs or uncovered premiums could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources” included in Part II, Item 7.7 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Notes to Consolidatedthe Financialconsolidated Statementsaudited financial statements included in Part II, Item 8.8 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Over the past several years, a number of highly publicized terrorist acts and shootings have occurred at domestic and international retail properties. In the event concerns regarding safety were to alter shopping habits or deter customers from visiting shopping centers, our tenants would be adversely affected, as would the general demand for retail space.space and the value of our properties. Additionally, if such incidents were to continue, insurance for such acts may become limited or subject to substantial cost increases. Such an incident at one of our properties, particularly one in which we generate a significant amount of revenue, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Despite system redundancy, the implementation of security measures and the existence of a disaster recovery plan for our information technology (“IT”) infrastructure, our systems are vulnerable to damages from any number of sources, including computer viruses, unauthorized access, energy blackouts, natural disasters, terrorism, war and telecommunication failures.

Our operations and properties are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations concerning the protection of the environment including air and water quality, hazardous or toxic substances and health and safety. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances.
Our operations and properties are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations concerning the protection of the environment including air and water quality, hazardous or toxic substances and health and safety. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. The cost of any required remediation may exceed the value of the property and/or the aggregate assets of the owner or the responsible party. The presence of, or the failure to properly remediate, hazardous or toxic substances may adversely affect our ability to sell or lease a contaminated property or to use the property as collateral for a loan. We can provide no assurance that we are aware of all potential environmental liabilities; that any previous owner, occupant or tenant did not create any material environmental condition not known to us; that our properties will not be affected by tenants or nearby properties or other unrelated third parties; and that future uses or conditions, or changes in environmental laws and regulations will not result in additional material environmental liabilities to us.
In March 2024, the SEC issued their final ruling on the “Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors” which includes extensive rules aimed at creating consistency, comparability and reliability of climate-related information among public issuers. In April 2024, in response to petitions and litigation from state officials, business and environmental groups alike, the SEC issued an order staying the rules until the litigation process is complete. Subsequently, the SEC withdrew its defense of the rules, but requested that the litigation be resolved on the merits. In September 2025, it was ordered that the litigation would be held in abeyance until the SEC reconsiders or renews its defense of the rules. As of the date of this filing, the timeline for resolution is not easily determinable and it is uncertain whether the rules will be upheld, amended or abolished. The rules would require public issuers to include prescribed climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports, including information regarding greenhouse gas emissions and climate-related risks and opportunities and related financial impacts, capital expenditures, governance and strategy. Additionally, we may become subject to new compliance requirements and/or new costs or taxes associated with natural resource or energy usage and related emissions (such as a “carbon tax”), which could increase our operating costs. All of these factors could result in additional costs and devoting additional resources to monitor, report and implement various Corporate Responsibility practices.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) generally requires that public buildings, including our properties, meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. NoncomplianceInvestigation of a property may reveal non-compliance with the ADA and could result in the imposition of fines by the federal government or the award of damages to private litigants and/or legal fees to their counsel. We could be required under the ADA to make substantial alterations to, and capital expenditures at, one or more of our properties, including the removal of access barriers, which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our properties are also subject to various federal, state and local regulatory requirements such as state and local fire and life safety regulations. If we fail to comply with these requirements, we could incur fines or private damage awards. We do not know whether existing requirements will change or whether compliance with future requirements will require significant unanticipated expenditures. If we incur substantial costs to comply with the ADA and any other legislation, our cash flow, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements and notes thereto included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In recent years, microeconomic and macroeconomic conditions have caused volatility in the financial markets, such as the recent impacts as a result of changes in tariff policies and interest rates. The economy continues to face several ongoing issues including inflation risk and elevated interest rates which present potential risks for our business and our tenants. We continue to monitor the impacts of inflation on our operations and measures taken by the Federal Reserve in response to inflationary levels.
In recent years, microeconomic and macroeconomic conditions have caused volatility in the financial markets. Inflation began to increase rapidly during 2021 through 2022, resulting in increased costs for certain goods and services. The Federal Reserve took measures to mitigate the impact of inflation by raising its benchmark interest rate several times between 2022 and 2023, resulting in significant increases in the cost of borrowing. These interest rate increases proved to be successful in reducing inflation as inflation rates began to fall beginning in the second quarter of 2023 and continued to fall through most of 2024.
InDuring September 2024,2025, the Federal Reserve cutlowered ratesits target range for the federal funds rate by 5075 basisbps points,via rate cuts in September, October and December. The decision to lower the target range was driven in part by positivemoderate economic reportsgrowth, a weakened labor market and thean decreaseincrease in inflationunemployment levels.

The current levels of inflation could also result in reduced discretionary spending by consumers, putting pricing pressure on rents and limiting the amounts we are able to charge new tenants or tenants up for renewals.

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 3 to the consolidated audited financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following accounting estimates are considered critical because they are particularly dependent on management’s judgment about matters that have a significant level of uncertainty at the time the accounting estimates are made, and changes to those estimates could have a material impact on our financial condition or operating results.
In allocating the purchase price to identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, the value of above-market and below-market leases is estimated based on the present value of the difference between the contractual amounts, including fixed rate below-market renewal options, to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and our estimate of the market lease rates and other lease provisions for comparable leases measured over a period equal to the estimated remaining term of the lease. Tenant related intangibles and improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the related lease term, including any bargain renewal options. We amortize identified intangibles that have finite lives over the period they are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of the property or business acquired. We consider qualitative and quantitative factors in evaluating the likelihood of a tenant exercising a below marketbelow-market renewal option and include such renewal options in the calculation of in-place leases. If the value of below-market lease intangibles includes renewal option periods, we include such renewal periods in the amortization period utilized. If a lease terminates prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease are written off.
Since the assessment of fair value and allocation of these amounts is made at the time of acquisition, they are subject to future changes in market conditions and tenants’ ability to continue operations and their exercise of options and renewals. In the case that these assumptions change materially, they could have a material impact on our results and financial statements. During 2024,2025, we acquired threeone propertiesproperty and utilized the above factors, including the use of a third party, to allocate the purchase price of thesethe propertiesproperty among various assets and liabilities. Further information on these allocations can be found in Part II, Item 8, Note 4 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We have had no changes to our methods of fair value assessment and allocations during the year ended December 31, 2024.2025.
During the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, we have had no changes to the methods or assumptions used in our assessment of fair value of our real estate assets and have not incurred any material impairments. During 2023, we recognized a $34.1 million impairment charge related to one of our properties located in Brooklyn, NY. Further information on impairments can be found in Part II, Item 8, Note 9 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We operate in a business that has significant investments in real estate and our estimates of valuation are subject to current market conditions and tenant operations, which drive future cash flows, and are beyond our control. As these factors can result in changes to our estimates and result in material impairment losses, this is deemed a critical accounting estimate.
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosure (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses which provides an update to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and provide more detailed information about the types of expenses, including purchase of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization in commonly presented expense captions such as cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development. The Company is evaluating the impact of this update and will adopt the amendments in our December 31, 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In March 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-01 Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards which provides clarity on how an entity determines whether a profits interest or similar award is within the scope of ASC 718. It also offers guidance on identifying whether such an award is not a share-based payment arrangement and therefore within the scope of other guidance. The Company has reviewed the update and determined it does not issue any profits interest or similar awards and therefore is not impacted by this ASU.
In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Income Tax (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures which provides for additional disclosures for rate reconciliations, disaggregation of income taxes paid, and other disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is evaluating the impact of this update and will adopt the amendments in its December 31, 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In November 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which provides for additional disclosures as they relate to a Company’s segments. Additional requirements per the update include disclosures for significant segment expenses, measures of profit or loss used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”) and how these measures are used to allocate resources and assess segment performance. The amendments in this ASU will also apply to entities with a single reportable segment and are effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company has evaluated the impact of this update on its disclosures and has applied the required amendments in this Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
In August 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-05 Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formation (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement, which provides an update to the accounting treatment of joint ventures upon formation. This update requires companies to measure assets and liabilities contributed to joint ventures at fair value at the time of formation and has an effective date of January 1, 2025. The update is to be applied prospectively, with a retrospective option for previously formed joint ventures. The Company has not elected retrospective application for its previously formed joint ventures and will adopt the provisions of this ASU for any future joint venture formations.
Any other recently issued accounting standards or pronouncements not disclosed above have been excluded as they are not relevant to the Company or the Operating Partnership, or they are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recent SEC Reporting Updates
On March 6, 2024, the SEC issued its final ruling on The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors (Release No. 34-99678). Provisions of the final rule require registrants to include climate-related disclosures that are both qualitative and quantitative in their annual reports and registration statements. These disclosures include, but are not limited to, governance, risk management, strategy, emissions, capital expenditures, and climate-related targets and goals. Subsequent to issuance, the rules became the subject of litigation, and the SEC issued an order staying the rules to allow the legal process to proceed. At this time it is not easily determined what the timeline for resolution is and it is uncertain whether the rules will be upheld, amended or abolished. The Company is continuing to review the final rule and monitoring the litigation progress for possible impacts on the disclosure requirements.

Our primary cash expenditures consist of our property operating and capital costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest and debt expense. Property operating expenses include real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, management expenses, insurance and utilities; general and administrative expenses, whichexpenses include payroll, professional fees, information technology, office expenses and other administrative expenses; and interest and debt expense primarily consists of interest on our mortgage debt anddebt, our unsecured line of credit and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement (our “lineterm of credit”).loans. In addition, we incur substantial non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization on our properties. We also capitalize certain expenses, such as taxes, interest and salaries related to properties under development or redevelopment until the property is ready for its intended use.
Our consolidated results of operations often are not comparable from period to period due to the impact of property acquisitions, dispositions, developments, redevelopments and changes in accounting policies. The results of operations of any acquired properties are included in our financial statements as of the date of acquisition. Our results of operations are affected by national, regional and local economic conditions, as well as macroeconomic conditions, which are at times subject to volatility and uncertainty.uncertainty Insuch as recent years,market inflation levels were elevatedvolatility resulting from changes in increasedtariff costspolicies forand the geopolitical climate.

Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2025 to December 31, 2024
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $97.5 million, compared to net income of $75.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The following table summarizes certain line items from our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income that we believe are important in understanding our operations and/or those items which changed significantly in the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024:
Total revenue increased by $27.0 million to $471.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 from $445.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to:
•$21.9 million increase in property rentals and tenant reimbursements due to rent commencements and contractual rent increases, partially offset by tenant vacates; and
•$8.9 million increase as a result of property acquisitions net of dispositions; offset by
•$1.7 million increase in rental revenue deemed uncollectible;
•$1.1 million decrease in non-cash revenues driven by accelerated amortization of below-market lease intangibles in connection with tenant vacates during 2024;
•$0.8 million decrease in lease termination and other income; and
•$0.2 million decrease in percentage rent primarily due to timing of recognition as compared to 2024.
Depreciation and amortization decreased by $11.2 million to $139.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 from $150.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease is primarily attributable to:
•$20.3 million decrease primarily related to accelerated depreciation in 2024 on buildings taken out of service for redevelopment; offset by
•$9.1 million increase as a result of property acquisitions net of dispositions.
Real estate tax expense decreased by $2.2 million to $66.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 from $68.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease is primarily attributable to:
•$1.1 million increase in capitalized real estate taxes due to the commencement of development, redevelopment and anchor repositioning projects, offset by project completions;
•$0.7 million decrease as a result of successful tax appeals and lower assessments; and
•$0.4 million decrease as a result of property dispositions net of acquisitions.
Property operating expenses increased by $7.7 million to $86.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 from $78.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to:
•$6.6 million higher expenses incurred for common area maintenance and utilities across the portfolio as compared to 2024; and
•$1.1 million increase as a result of property acquisitions net of dispositions.
General and administrative expenses increased by $2.5 million to $40.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 from $37.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to higher employment expenses and other corporate level expenses.
We recognized a gain on sale of real estate of $49.7 million in 2025 related to the sale of two properties and one property parcel. We recognized a gain on sale of real estate of $38.8 million in 2024 related to the sale of three properties.
Interest and debt expense decreased by $3.4 million to $78.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 from $81.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease is primarily attributable to:
•$4.9 million decrease due to a lower average balance and lower interest rate on our line of credit;
