• Achieved record small shop occupancy of 92.9% and matched all-time high portfolio occupancy of 96.4%, demonstrating robust demand despite absorbing Painted Tree bankruptcy impacts.

• Launched 'One Kimco' operating model, transitioning from a regional to a nationally aligned functional structure to enhance negotiating leverage and accelerate lease execution.

• Completed the first full-cycle monetization of a ground-up multifamily development at Pentagon Centre, validating the embedded value of the mixed-use densification program.

• Executed a capital recycling strategy focused on harvesting value from low-growth assets, such as Costco ground leases, to fund higher-growth grocery-anchored acquisitions.

• Reported 19 consecutive quarters of double-digit new leasing spreads, supported by limited new supply and retailers competing for high-quality open-air locations.

• Integrated AI and unified data platforms to automate workflows and build durable operating leverage, yielding an estimated 5x return on initial transformation investments.

• Maintained a strong investment-grade balance sheet (A-/A3) with $2.7 billion in liquidity, providing the flexibility to remain opportunistic in a competitive transaction market.

Outlook and Strategic Growth Framework

• Raised the midpoint of full-year FFO guidance and increased the common dividend by 12%, reflecting confidence in rising taxable income and durable cash flows.

• Projecting $33 million in cash rent from the SNO pipeline in 2026, a 16% increase over initial estimates due to accelerated construction and leasing coordination.

• Anticipates further monetization of mixed-use assets, with the Witmer residential tower likely the next candidate for crystallization to fund future growth.

• Guidance assumes continued improvement in credit trends, with the credit loss assumption tightened to 55-75 basis points for the remainder of the year.

• Expects the new operating model to drive margin expansion and improved same-site performance as benefits from national scale and functional alignment build over time.

Significant Financial and Portfolio Events

• Issued $600 million in 3.5% exchangeable senior notes to diversify capital sources and satisfy upcoming 2026 debt maturities at an attractive coupon.

• Absorbed a 16 basis point impact on total occupancy from Painted Tree bankruptcy lease rejections during the second quarter.

• Utilized 1031 exchanges to acquire Pompano Marketplace and Sunshine Plaza in Florida, converting structured investments into long-term equity ownership.

• Recorded a $3.8 million charge expected in the third quarter related to the repurchase of Class N convertible preferred stock.

• Management expects the unified national structure to significantly increase negotiating leverage, particularly during the renewal process for large national accounts.

• The model allows for package deals across multiple sites, accelerating execution and pulling forward rent commencement dates in the SNO pipeline.

Capital recycling spreads and IRR profile of ground leases

• Selling low-growth Costco ground leases at aggressive cap rates allows Kimco to trade sub-6% unlevered IRRs for north of 9% IRRs in grocery-anchored centers.

• The strategy prioritizes long-term CAGR and cash flow growth over immediate year-one AFFO accretion, though spreads remain positive at 50-100 basis points.

Consumer spending trends across different income demographics

• Traffic remains positive across all demographics, with high-income segments leading and low-income segments showing resilience with 3.5% spending growth.

• Management noted that low unemployment and stable job turnover are currently offsetting headwinds from higher interest rates and inflation.

Future of the mixed-use and multifamily monetization program

• Kimco views its 14,000 entitlements as a form of currency, with the flexibility to self-develop, partner, or monetize based on the cost of capital and market cycle.

• The company utilizes a capital-light preferred equity structure for developments to avoid earnings drag during the 2-3 year construction phase.
