Net income attributable to common stockholders for Q1 2025 was \(413.7 million, or \)1.27 per diluted share, compared to \(731.7 million, or \)2.25 per diluted share in the same quarter last year. The decrease incorporates a \(54.8 million unrealized mark-to-market loss primarily associated with the Klépierre exchangeable bonds issued in late 2023. Despite this, real estate Funds From Operations (FFO) reached \)1.113 billion or \(2.95 per diluted share, marking a 1.4% increase from \)1.09 billion or $2.91 per diluted share in Q1 2024, underscoring stable operational cash flows.
The company’s portfolio exhibits strong growth: domestic property Net Operating Income (NOI) rose by 3.4%, and total portfolio NOI increased by 3.6% year-over-year, signifying robust asset performance amid evolving macroeconomic conditions. Notably, occupancy rates improved to 95.9% from 95.5%, and base minimum rent per square foot increased by 2.4% to $58.92, reflecting rent resilience and tenant demand.
Expansion activities include the January 2025 acquisition of two luxury outlets in Italy—The Mall Firenze and The Mall Sanremo—and the successful March 2025 opening of Jakarta Premium Outlets in Indonesia, a 302,000 square-foot center co-owned at 50%. These investments bolster Simon’s international footprint, aligning with its portfolio diversification strategy.
Financial strength is evident in the company’s liquidity position, with approximately \(10.1 billion in available liquidity comprising \)1.9 billion in cash and \(8.2 billion in revolving credit capacity. Simon completed twelve secured loan transactions totaling roughly \)2.6 billion at an average interest rate of 5.73%, supporting its capital structure amid shifting rate environments.
Simon Property Group also increased its quarterly common stock dividend by 5.0% to \(2.10, payable June 30, 2025, reflecting confidence in future cash generation capabilities. The Board reaffirmed 2025 Real Estate FFO per diluted share guidance in the range of \)12.40 to $12.65, indicating expected ongoing financial stability.
Contextualizing this data with prior earnings calls, management emphasized resilience against economic uncertainty and effectiveness in portfolio management. The Q1 2025 results confirm Simon’s ability to navigate complex market conditions, maintain strong leasing fundamentals, and execute international growth initiatives.
