FFO (Funds From Operations) $1.13 per diluted share, which includes approximately $0.11 per share of onetime items.

Occupancy 80.8% at the end of Q2 2025, down from 81.4% in Q1 2025. The decline was due to the rightsizing and renewal by DermTech and the early vacate related to the 23andMe bankruptcy.

Occupancy Projections: Occupancy is expected to decline modestly in Q3 2025 due to redevelopment projects entering the stabilized portfolio but is anticipated to see positive net absorption in Q4 2025.
