Urban Edge Properties (NYSE: UE) (the “Company”) today announced its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 and updated its outlook for full-year 2026.
“Urban Edge delivered another excellent quarter, highlighted by record FFO as Adjusted of $0.40 per share and continued momentum across our portfolio,” said Jeff Olson, Chairman and CEO. “Capital recycling remains a top priority. We recently acquired The Shops at West Falls Church in Falls Church, VA, and a leasehold interest at Shoppers World in Framingham, MA, together totaling $51.1 million. We’re also under contract to sell a Kohl’s-anchored center in Morris Plains, NJ for $60.5 million.”
“Given our better-than-expected results, we raised full-year FFO as Adjusted guidance by $0.02 per share. With $22 million of signed leases that have not yet rent commenced, double-digit redevelopment yields, and sustained tenant demand across our centers, we’re well positioned to continue delivering durable, visible growth.”

The decreases in net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were primarily driven by a $49.5 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, gain on sale of real estate related to three properties divested in the second quarter of 2025. The increases in FFO and FFO as Adjusted for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were driven by rent commencements on new leases, higher net recovery revenue, lease termination income, and growth from accretive capital recycling. FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2026 also benefited from $8.4 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, of non-recurring reimbursements received during the first quarter of 2026 pertaining to previously incurred environmental remediation costs.

Increases in same-property NOI metrics for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were driven by rent commencements on new leases from our signed but not open pipeline. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2026 also benefited from out-of-period collections on past due rents.
Leasing and Occupancy Results(1)
- Consolidated portfolio leased occupancy was 96.6%, an increase of 10 basis points compared to June 30, 2025 and 20 basis points compared to March 31, 2026.
- The Company reported same-property portfolio leased occupancy of 96.3%, a decrease of 40 basis points compared to June 30, 2025 and 10 basis points compared to March 31, 2026.
- The Company executed 26 new leases, renewals and options totaling 199,000 sf during the quarter. New leases totaled 120,000 sf, of which 90,000 sf was on a same-space basis and generated an average cash spread of 12.8%. New leases, renewals and options totaled 169,000 sf on a same-space basis and generated an average cash spread of 10.7%.
- As of June 30, 2026, signed leases that have not yet rent commenced are expected to generate an additional $22.0 million of future annual gross rent, representing approximately 7% of current annualized NOI. Approximately $1.7 million of this amount is expected to be recognized in the remainder of 2026.
Acquisition and Disposition Activity
On July 17, 2026, the Company acquired The Shops at West Falls Church for a gross purchase price of $40.4 million. The 85,000 sf shopping center is located in Falls Church, VA and sits within a densely populated and affluent submarket of Washington, D.C. with average annual household income of approximately $200,000 within a three-mile radius. The center is anchored by a grocer and provides visible growth potential through lease-up, contractual annual rent increases, and mark-to-market opportunities on expiring leases.
On May 21, 2026, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with the ground lessor of certain ground leased premises at Shoppers World in Framingham, MA, to acquire the ground lease for $10.7 million, allowing the Company to take over as lessor for the underlying tenant. The transaction closed on June 25, 2026.
The Company is currently under contract to sell Briarcliff Commons, located in Morris Plains, NJ, for a gross sales price of $60.5 million which is expected to close later this month.
Development and Redevelopment
During the quarter, the Company commenced two redevelopment projects with estimated aggregate costs of $6.7 million and stabilized one project totaling $12.7 million with the rent commencement of Burlington at Hudson Mall. The completed projects over the last 12 months total $32.6 million of investment with a blended yield of 25%.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company has $155.0 million of active development and redevelopment projects underway, with estimated remaining costs to complete of $66.7 million. The active development and redevelopment projects are expected to generate an approximate 12% yield.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity(1)(4)(5)
Balance sheet highlights as of June 30, 2026 include:

- Net debt to total market capitalization of 34%.
2026 Outlook
Based on results for the first half of the year, the Company has raised its 2026 full-year guidance ranges for net income, FFO, and FFO as Adjusted, estimating net income of $0.57 to $0.61 per diluted share, net income attributable to common shareholders of $0.55 to $0.58 per diluted share, FFO of $1.57 to $1.60 per diluted share, and FFO as Adjusted of $1.50 to $1.54 per diluted share. The updated range for FFO as Adjusted now implies a midpoint of $1.52 per diluted share, an increase of $0.02 from the previous midpoint of $1.50 per diluted share.

The Company is providing a projection of anticipated net income solely to satisfy the disclosure requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company’s projections are based on management’s current beliefs and assumptions about the Company’s business, and the industry and the markets in which it operates; there are known and unknown risks and uncertainties associated with these projections. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from the guidance set forth above. The Company assumes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, including its 2026 earnings guidance, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Please refer to the “Forward-Looking Statements” disclosures on page 8 of this document and “Risk Factors” disclosed in the Company’s annual and quarterly reports filed with the SEC for more information.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses certain non-GAAP performance measures, in addition to the primary GAAP presentations, as we believe these measures improve the understanding of the Company’s operational results. We continually evaluate the usefulness, relevance, limitations, and calculation of our reported non-GAAP performance measures to determine how best to provide relevant information to the investing public, and thus such reported measures are subject to change. The Company’s non-GAAP performance measures have limitations as they do not include all items of income and expense that affect operations, and accordingly, should always be considered as supplemental financial results. Additionally, the Company’s computation of non-GAAP metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP metrics reported by other real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) or real estate companies that define these metrics differently and, as a result, it is important to understand the manner in which the Company defines and calculates each of its non-GAAP metrics. The following non-GAAP measures are commonly used by the Company and investing public to understand and evaluate our operating results and performance:
- FFO: The Company believes FFO is a useful, supplemental measure of its operating performance that is a recognized metric used extensively by the real estate industry and, in particular REITs. FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) and the Company, is net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable real estate and land when connected to the main business of a REIT, impairments on depreciable real estate or land related to a REIT’s main business, earnings from consolidated partially owned entities and rental property depreciation and amortization expense. The Company believes that financial analysts, investors and shareholders are better served by the presentation of comparable period operating results generated from FFO primarily because it excludes the assumption that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably. FFO does not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance, and is not indicative of cash flow as a measure of liquidity or our ability to make cash distributions.
- FFO as Adjusted: The Company provides disclosure of FFO as Adjusted because it believes it is a useful supplemental measure of its core operating performance that facilitates comparability of historical financial periods. FFO as Adjusted is calculated by making certain adjustments to FFO to account for items the Company does not believe are representative of ongoing core operating results, including non-comparable revenues and expenses. The Company’s method of calculating FFO as Adjusted may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.
- NOI: The Company uses NOI internally to make investment and capital allocation decisions and to compare the unlevered performance of our properties to our peers. The Company believes NOI is useful to investors as a performance measure because, when compared across periods, NOI reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition and disposition activity on an unleveraged basis, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. The Company calculates NOI using net income as defined by GAAP reflecting only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level and through the Company’s captive insurance program, adjusted for non-cash rental income and expense, impairments on depreciable real estate or land, and income or expenses that we do not believe are representative of ongoing operating results, if any. In addition, the Company uses NOI margin, calculated as NOI divided by total property revenue, which the Company believes is useful to investors for similar reasons.
- Same-property NOI: The Company provides disclosure of NOI on a same-property basis, which includes the results of properties that were owned and operated for the entirety of the reporting periods being compared, which total 65 properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Information provided on a same-property basis excludes properties under development, redevelopment or that involve anchor repositioning where a substantial portion of the gross leasable area (“GLA”) is taken out of service and also excludes properties acquired, sold, held for sale, or that are in the foreclosure process during the periods being compared, and results of our captive insurance program. As such, same-property NOI assists in eliminating disparities in net income due to the development, redevelopment, acquisition, disposition, or foreclosure of properties and results of our captive insurance program during the periods presented, and thus provides a more consistent performance measure for the comparison of the operating performance of the Company’s properties. While there is judgment surrounding changes in designations, a property is removed from the same-property pool when it is designated as a redevelopment property because it is undergoing significant renovation or retenanting pursuant to a formal plan that is expected to have a significant impact on its operating income. A development or redevelopment property is moved back to the same-property pool once a substantial portion of the NOI growth expected from the development or redevelopment is reflected in both the current and comparable prior year period, generally one year after at least 80% of the expected NOI from the project is realized on a cash basis. Acquisitions are moved into the same-property pool once we have owned the property for the entirety of the comparable periods and the property is not under significant development or redevelopment. The Company has also provided disclosure of NOI on a same-property basis adjusted to include redevelopment properties. Same-property NOI may include other adjustments as detailed in the Reconciliation of Net Income to NOI and Same-Property NOI included in the tables accompanying this press release.
- EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre: EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre are supplemental, non-GAAP measures utilized by us in various financial ratios. The White Paper on EBITDAre, approved by Nareit’s Board of Governors in September 2017, defines EBITDAre as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), adjusted for interest expense, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization, losses and gains on the disposition of depreciated property, impairment write-downs of depreciated property and investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, and adjustments to reflect the entity’s share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated joint ventures. EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre are presented to assist investors in the evaluation of REITs, as a measure of the Company’s operational performance as they exclude various items that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance and because they approximate key performance measures in our debt covenants. Accordingly, the Company believes that the use of EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, as opposed to income before income taxes, in various ratios provides meaningful performance measures related to the Company’s ability to meet various coverage tests for the stated periods. Adjusted EBITDAre may include other adjustments not indicative of operating results as detailed in the Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre included in the tables accompanying this press release. The Company also presents the ratio of net debt (net of cash) to annualized Adjusted EBITDAre as of June 30, 2026, and net debt (net of cash) to total market capitalization, which it believes is useful to investors as a supplemental measure in evaluating the Company’s balance sheet leverage.
The Company believes net income is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to the non-GAAP performance measures outlined above. Reconciliations of these measures to net income have been provided in the tables accompanying this press release.
Operating Metrics
The Company presents certain operating metrics related to our properties, including occupancy, leasing activity and rental rates. Operating metrics used by the Company are useful to investors in facilitating an understanding of the operational performance for our properties.
Recovery ratios represent the percentage of operating expenses recuperated through tenant reimbursements. This metric is presented on a same-property and same-property including redevelopment basis and is calculated by dividing tenant expense reimbursements (adjusted to exclude any ancillary income) by the sum of real estate taxes and property operating expenses.
Occupancy metrics represent the percentage of occupied gross leasable area based on executed leases (including properties in development and redevelopment) and include leases signed, but for which rent has not yet commenced. Same-property portfolio leased occupancy includes properties that have been owned and operated for the entirety of the reporting periods being compared, which total 65 properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Occupancy metrics presented for the Company’s same-property portfolio exclude properties under development, redevelopment or that involve anchor repositioning where a substantial portion of the gross leasable area is taken out of service and also excludes properties acquired within the past 12 months, properties sold or held for sale, and properties that are in the foreclosure process during the periods being compared.
Executed new leases, renewals and exercised options are presented on a same-space basis. Same-space leases represent those leases signed on spaces for which there was a previous lease.
The Company occasionally provides disclosures by tenant categories which include anchors, shops and industrial/self-storage. Anchors and shops are further broken down by local, regional and national tenants. We define anchor tenants as those who have a leased area of >10,000 sf. Local tenants are defined as those with less than five locations. Regional tenants are those with five or more locations in a single region. National tenants are defined as those with five or more locations and that operate in two or more regions.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They represent our intentions, plans, expectations and beliefs and are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Our future results, financial condition, business and targeted occupancy may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. You can identify many of these statements by words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “would,” “may” or other similar expressions in this press release. Many of the factors that will determine the outcome of forward-looking statements are beyond our ability to control or predict and include, among others: (i) macroeconomic conditions, including geopolitical conditions and instability, and international trade disputes, including any related tariffs, which may lead to rising inflation, adverse impacts to supply chains, and disruption of, or lack of access to, the capital markets, as well as potential volatility in the Company’s share price; (ii) the economic, political and social impact of, and uncertainty relating to, epidemics and pandemics; (iii) the loss or bankruptcy of major tenants; (iv) the ability and willingness of the Company’s tenants to renew their leases with the Company upon expiration and the Company’s ability to re-lease its properties on the same or better terms, or at all, in the event of non-renewal or in the event the Company exercises its right to replace an existing tenant; (v) the impact of e-commerce on our tenants’ business; (vi) the Company’s success in implementing its business strategy and its ability to identify, underwrite, finance, consummate and integrate diversifying acquisitions and investments; (vii) changes in general economic conditions or economic conditions in the markets in which the Company competes, and their effect on the Company’s revenues, earnings and funding sources, and on those of its tenants; (viii) increases in the Company’s borrowing costs as a result of changes in interest rates, rising inflation, and other factors; (ix) the Company’s ability to pay down, refinance, hedge, restructure or extend its indebtedness as it becomes due and potential limitations on the Company’s ability to borrow funds under its existing credit facility as a result of covenants relating to the Company’s financial results; (x) potentially higher costs associated with the Company’s development, redevelopment and anchor repositioning projects, and the Company’s ability to lease the properties at projected rates; (xi) the Company’s liability for environmental matters; (xii) damage to the Company’s properties from catastrophic weather and other natural events, and the physical effects of climate change; (xiii) the Company’s ability and willingness to maintain its qualification as a REIT in light of economic, market, legal, tax and other considerations; (xiv) information technology security breaches; (xv) the loss of key executives; and (xvi) the accuracy of methodologies and estimates regarding our environmental, social and governance (collectively, our Corporate Responsibility or “CR”) metrics, goals and targets, tenant willingness and ability to collaborate towards reporting CR metrics and meeting CR goals and targets, and the impact of governmental regulation on our CR efforts. For further discussion of factors that could materially affect the outcome of our forward-looking statements, see “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
We claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for any forward-looking statements included in this press release. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to our forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this press release.
