• Achieved positive operating EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted net income for the first time, marking a significant milestone in the company's two-year history.

• Performance was driven by the strategic closure of the Tin Building, the early termination of the Nike lease at Pier 17, and disciplined G&A cost reductions.

• Reduced trailing 12-month G&A costs by over 20% in the past nine months by optimizing audit fees, technology costs, and organizational structure.

• Leasing activity has transitioned to a more selective phase, with only 10% of total Seaport space remaining vacant, allowing for more detailed negotiations with unique, 'one-of-one' tenants.

• The successful launch of Sadie's, the first internally developed restaurant concept, validated the strategy of operating systemically important assets to drive neighborhood foot traffic.

• Management attributes the quarter's success to a shift toward disciplined execution and place-making that delivers a growth profile superior to traditional real estate companies.

Path Toward 2028 Stabilization

• Anticipates an improved earnings profile in 2027 and 2028 as over 194,000 square feet of non-income-producing space, including the Balloon Museum and Meow Wolf, becomes operational.

• Expects approximately $20 million of incremental annualized operating EBITDA to materialize over the next 18 months from upcoming tenant openings.

• Management projects the next three quarters will show year-over-year improvement, though results may vary due to seasonality and the timing of new tenant openings.

• The company plans to invest between $50 million and $70 million in remaining committed CapEx over the next two years to reach the 2028 stabilization target.

• Future G&A reductions are expected as legacy service contracts expire and are renegotiated or non-renewed throughout 2027.

Lease Terminations and Asset Sales

• The early termination of the Nike lease resulted in a $2.7 million net year-over-year increase in rental revenue and allows for earlier construction of a new event space.

• Blue Fox Entertainment acquired the former IPIC Theater lease through bankruptcy, resolving outstanding balances and planning a rebranding of the 46,000 square foot space.

• Recorded an additional $1.4 million loss on the sale of 250 Water Street related to estimated post-closing obligations funded by escrow.

• The company maintains a strong liquidity position with $127 million in total cash and only $38.1 million in outstanding debt.
