JERICHO, N.Y., Aug. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kimco Realty ® (NYSE: KIM), a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and leading owner and operator of high-quality, open-air, grocery-anchored shopping centers and mixed-use properties in the United States, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026. For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, Net income available to the company’s common shareholders (“Net income”) per diluted share was $0.22 and $0.23, respectively.
Second Quarter Highlights
"Our operating and financial performance reflect the strength of our platform and the team's disciplined execution throughout the quarter," stated Kimco CEO Conor Flynn. "The combination of limited new shopping center supply, continued consumer demand for the everyday essentials, and strong shopper traffic across our open-air portfolio supported robust leasing activity. Together with our strategic capital allocation activities, we further enhanced our financial flexibility and strengthened our balance sheet. Given our strong cash flow growth this year from the strength of operations, we're raising our common cash dividend by 12%, a quarter ahead of our typical schedule, a reflection of both our higher operating income and confidence in Kimco's long-term outlook. We remain committed to executing our strategy and creating long-term value for our shareholders.”
Financial Results
Net income for the second quarter of 2026 was $145.8 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to $155.4 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025. The year-over-year change reflects growth in consolidated revenues from rental properties, net, of $25.5 million and increased equity in income of joint ventures, net, of $8.5 million, offset by lower gains on sales of properties of $37.6 million.
FFO was $309.2 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $297.6 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025. Gains on sales of properties, net of impairments, is excluded from the company's calculation of FFO.
