Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) modified by various adjustments including gains/losses on real estate sales, impairment charges, and non-cash items25 - LXP considers net income as the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA25 Base Rent Base Rent is a non-GAAP measure adjusting GAAP rental revenue by excluding tenant reimbursements and lease termination income, and including ancillary income - Base Rent adjusts GAAP rental revenue by excluding billed tenant reimbursements and lease termination income, and including ancillary income26 - Base Rent excludes reserves/write-offs of deferred rent receivable26 Cash Base Rent Cash Base Rent is a non-GAAP measure that removes GAAP rental income adjustments, providing an indication of an investment's ability to fund cash needs - Cash Base Rent removes the impact of GAAP required adjustments to rental income (e.g., straight-line rents) from GAAP rental revenue27 - It excludes billed tenant reimbursements, non-cash sales-type lease income, and lease termination income, but includes ancillary income27 Company Funds Available for Distribution (FAD) FAD is a non-GAAP measure adjusting Adjusted Company FFO for non-cash items and cash expenditures related to tenant improvements and lease costs - FAD is calculated by adjusting Adjusted Company FFO for items like straight-line adjustments, lease incentive amortization, non-cash interest, and cash paid for second-generation tenant improvements and lease costs28 - FAD is a non-GAAP measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income or net cash flows from operating activities, or as a measure of liquidity28 First-Generation Costs First-Generation Costs are cash expenditures for tenant improvements, leasing costs, and acquisition-contemplated expenses for newly acquired vacant properties - First-Generation Costs are cash expenditures for tenant improvements, leasing costs, and acquisition-related expenses for newly acquired vacant properties29 Funds from Operations (FFO) and Adjusted Company FFO FFO, a Nareit-defined non-GAAP measure, and Adjusted Company FFO provide insights into REIT performance by excluding certain real estate-related items - FFO, as defined by Nareit, is net income excluding real estate depreciation/amortization, gains/losses from certain real estate asset sales, and impairment write-downs31 - FFO provides a performance measure reflecting trends in occupancy, rental rates, operating costs, and development activities without including depreciation and amortization30 - Adjusted Company FFO further adjusts FFO for items not indicative of LXP's real estate portfolio's operating results and not comparable from period to period32 GAAP and Cash Yield or Capitalization Rate GAAP and Cash Yields or Capitalization Rates are estimated operating performance measures for investments, calculated by dividing annualized NOI by cost or sale price - GAAP and cash yields/capitalization rates are measures of operating performance for individual investments, calculated by dividing annualized NOI by the acquisition/completion cost or sale price34 - Stabilized yields assume 100% occupancy and the payment of estimated costs to achieve 100% occupancy, excluding developer incentive fees34 Net Operating Income (NOI) NOI is a non-GAAP measure of operating performance for individual investments, representing operating revenues less property operating expenses - NOI is defined as operating revenues (rental income adjusted for GAAP rent adjustments, non-cash income, and lease termination income, plus other property income) less property operating expenses35 - NOI excludes general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and gains/losses from property dispositions35 - LXP believes net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to NOI35 Same-Store NOI Same-Store NOI measures operating performance for a consistent set of consolidated properties, excluding changes from acquisitions, expansions, or dispositions - Same-Store NOI includes NOI for consolidated properties owned, stabilized, and in the portfolio from January 1, 2024, through the current reporting period36 - It excludes changes in NOI from acquired, expanded, disposed of properties, and properties with significant casualty loss, to highlight operating trends36 - LXP believes net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Same-Store NOI36 Second-Generation Costs Second-Generation Costs refer to cash expenditures for tenant improvements and leasing costs incurred to maintain revenues at existing stabilized properties - Second-Generation Costs are cash expenditures for tenant improvements and leasing costs aimed at maintaining revenues at existing properties37 - These costs are a component of the FAD calculation and are viewed as an investment in existing stabilized properties37 Stabilized Portfolio The Stabilized Portfolio includes all real estate properties except non-stabilized ones, with stabilization occurring at 90% occupancy or one year post-construction - The Stabilized Portfolio includes all real estate properties except non-stabilized ones38 - Stabilization occurs at the earlier of 90% occupancy or one year from the cessation of major construction activities38 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements This section presents LXP's condensed consolidated financial statements, including statements of operations, balance sheets, earnings per share, and FFO/FAD reconciliations Statements of Operations The condensed consolidated statements of operations detail LXP's financial performance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited, in thousands, except share and per share data) | Metric | Three months ended June 30, 2025 (Thousands) | Three months ended June 30, 2024 (Thousands) | Six months ended June 30, 2025 (Thousands) | Six months ended June 30, 2024 (Thousands) | | :------------------------------------------------ | :------------------------------- | :------------------------------- | :----------------------------- | :----------------------------- | | Rental revenue | $86,744 | $84,768 | $174,637 | $169,975 | | Total gross revenues | $87,719 | $85,786 | $176,582 | $172,037 | | Depreciation and amortization | $(49,362) | $(48,347) | $(99,874) | $(95,856) | | Property operating | $(15,875) | $(15,482) | $(33,004) | $(30,670) | | General and administrative | $(9,630) | $(9,248) | $(20,020) | $(18,741) | | Interest and amortization expense | $(16,467) | $(17,603) | $(32,747) | $(34,587) | | Gain on sale or disposal of real estate, net | $31,320 | $8,352 | $55,955 | $8,352 | | Net income | $28,397 | $4,801 | $46,559 | $4,246 | | Net income attributable to common shareholders | $27,450 | $3,775 | $44,729 | $1,844 | | Net income per common share diluted | $0.09 | $0.01 | $0.15 | $0.01 | Balance Sheets The condensed consolidated balance sheets present LXP's financial position as of June 30, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited, in thousands) | Asset/Liability/Equity | June 30, 2025 (Thousands) | December 31, 2024 (Thousands) | | :------------------------------------ | :-------------- | :---------------- | | Real estate, net | $3,444,731 | $3,536,346 | | Cash and cash equivalents | $70,976 | $101,836 | | Total assets | $3,717,130 | $3,843,312 | | Mortgages and notes payable, net | $52,260 | $54,930 | | Term loan payable, net | $248,615 | $297,814 | | Senior notes payable, net | $1,090,411 | $1,089,373 | | Trust preferred securities, net | $100,074 | $127,893 | | Total liabilities | $1,630,956 | $1,722,529 | | Total shareholders' equity | $2,064,355 | $2,098,292 | | Total equity | $2,086,174 | $2,120,783 | | Total liabilities and equity | $3,717,130 | $3,843,312 | Earnings Per Share This section provides a detailed breakdown of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, along with weighted-average common shares outstanding Earnings Per Share (Unaudited, in thousands, except share and per share data) | Metric | Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 (Thousands) | Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 (Thousands) | Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 (Thousands) | Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 (Thousands) | | :------------------------------------------------ | :------------------------------- | :------------------------------- | :----------------------------- | :----------------------------- | | Net income attributable to common shareholders | $27,450 | $3,775 | $44,729 | $1,844 | | Weighted-average common shares outstanding -
