Insights

Simon reported solid Q1 results with growing NOI, high occupancy, and reaffirmed 2025 guidance, showcasing operational strength despite profit decline.

Simon's Q1 2025 results demonstrate resilience in the premium retail real estate market. Net income fell significantly to $413.7 million ($1.27 per share) from $731.7 million ($2.25 per share) in Q1 2024, but this decline is largely attributable to one-time items. The $54.8 million loss from mark-to-market adjustments on Kl茅pierre bonds this quarter contrasts with last year's $303.9 million gain from selling their Authentic Brands Group stake.

Looking at the more relevant AG真人官方 Estate FFO metric, which better reflects operating performance, Simon actually grew to $1.113 billion ($2.95 per share) from $1.090 billion ($2.91 per share) year-over-year. This 1.4% FFO growth demonstrates underlying operational strength.

Particularly encouraging are the domestic property NOI growth of 3.4% and portfolio NOI increase of 3.6%. These metrics signal Simon's ability to effectively manage its properties and grow revenue at rates exceeding inflation. The 95.9% occupancy rate (up 0.4% YoY) is impressively high, indicating strong tenant demand despite retail sector challenges.

Base minimum rent per square foot grew 2.4% to $58.92, reflecting Simon's pricing power. The $733 in reported retailer sales per square foot shows healthy tenant performance, which supports sustainable rent growth.

Simon continues strategic expansion with The Mall luxury outlets acquisition in Italy and Jakarta Premium Outlets opening in Indonesia, diversifying its portfolio internationally. Their financial position remains robust with $10.1 billion in liquidity and successful completion of $2.6 billion in secured loans.

The board's decision to increase the quarterly dividend by 5% to $2.10 demonstrates confidence in future cash flows. Management's reaffirmation of 2025 AG真人官方 Estate FFO guidance at $12.40 to $12.65 per diluted share suggests steady performance expectations for the remainder of the year.

Our definitions of these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures reported by other REITs.

Forward-Looking Statements

Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, the Company can give no assurance that its expectations will be attained, and it is possible that the Company's actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors. Such factors include, but are not limited to: the intensely competitive market environment in the retail industry, including e-commerce; the inability to renew leases and relet vacant space at existing properties on favorable terms;听 the inability to collect rent due to the bankruptcy or insolvency of tenants or otherwise; the potential loss of anchor stores or major tenants; an increase in vacant space at our properties; the loss of key management personnel; changes in economic and market conditions that may adversely affect the general retail environment, including but not limited to those caused by inflation, the impact of tariffs and global trade disruptions on us to the extent impacting our tenants, recessionary pressures, wars, escalating geopolitical tensions as a result of the war in Ukraine and the conflicts in the Middle East, and supply chain disruptions; the potential for violence, civil unrest, criminal activity or terrorist activities at our properties; the availability of comprehensive insurance coverage; security breaches that could compromise our information technology or infrastructure; changes in market rates of interest; our international activities subjecting us to risks that are different from or greater than those associated with our domestic operations, including changes in foreign exchange rates; the impact of our substantial indebtedness on our future operations, including covenants in the governing agreements that impose restrictions on us that may affect our ability to operate freely; any disruption in the financial markets that may adversely affect our ability to access capital for growth and satisfy our ongoing debt service requirements; any change in our credit rating; our continued ability to maintain our status as a REIT; changes in tax laws or regulations that result in adverse tax consequences; risks associated with the acquisition, development, redevelopment, expansion, leasing and management of properties; the inability to lease newly developed properties on favorable terms; risks relating to our joint venture properties, including guarantees of certain joint venture indebtedness; reducing emissions of greenhouse gases; environmental liabilities; natural disasters; uncertainties regarding the impact of pandemics, epidemics or public health crises, and the associated governmental restrictions on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and liquidity; and general risks related to real estate investments, including the illiquidity of real estate investments.

The Company discusses these and other risks and uncertainties under the heading "Risk Factors" in its annual and quarterly periodic reports filed with the SEC.听 The Company may update that discussion in subsequent other periodic reports, but except as required by law, the Company undertakes no duty or obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise.

Footnotes to Unaudited Financial Information

Notes:听听

(A)

Excess investment represents the unamortized difference of our investment over equity in the underlying net assets of the related partnerships and joint ventures shown therein.听 The Company generally amortizes excess investment over the life of the related assets.

(B)

The Unaudited Joint Venture Combined Statements of Operations do not include any operations or our share of net income or excess investment amortization related to our investments in Kl茅pierre, TRG and other platform investments.听 Amounts included in Footnote D below exclude our share of related activity for our investments in Kl茅pierre, TRG and other platform investments.听 For further information on Kl茅pierre, reference should be made to financial information in Kl茅pierre's public filings and additional discussion and analysis in our Form 10-K.

(C)

This report contains measures of financial or operating performance that are not specifically defined by GAAP, including FFO, FFO per share, AG真人官方 Estate FFO and AG真人官方 Estate FFO per share.听 FFO is a performance measure that is standard in the REIT business.听 We believe FFO provides investors with additional information concerning our operating performance and a basis to compare our performance with those of other REITs.听 We also use these measures internally to monitor the operating performance of our portfolio. Our computation of these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures reported by other REITs.

We determine FFO based upon the definition set forth by the National Association of AG真人官方 Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") Funds From Operations White Paper - 2018 Restatement. Our main business includes acquiring, owning, operating, developing, and redeveloping real estate in conjunction with the rental of retail real estate.听 Gains and losses of assets incidental to our main business are included in FFO.听 We determine FFO to be our share of consolidated net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization, excluding gains and losses from extraordinary items, excluding gains and losses from the sale, disposal or property insurance recoveries of, or any impairment related to, depreciable retail operating properties, plus the allocable portion of FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures based upon economic ownership interest, and all determined on a consistent basis in accordance with GAAP. However, you should understand that FFO does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of operating performance, and is not an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

(D)

Includes our share of:听

Gain on land sales of $0.0 million and $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Straight-line adjustments increased (decreased) income by $2.2 million and ($4.6) million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Amortization of fair market value of leases increased income by $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
