Brixmor Property Group Reports $85.1 Million Net Income in Q2 2025, 21.4% Increase Year-Over-Year

Brixmor Property Group Inc. reported a net income of $85.1 million for the second quarter of 2025, a 21.4% increase from $70.1 million in the same period last year. For the first half of 2025, net income totaled $154.9 million, slightly down from $159.0 million in the first half of 2024. The company's total revenues for the second quarter reached $339.5 million, up from $315.7 million year-over-year, driven primarily by a $23.8 million increase in rental income, which rose to $339.4 million from $315.6 million. The increase in rental income was attributed to higher base rents and expense reimbursements from existing tenants, as well as contributions from net transaction activity.

In terms of operational metrics, Brixmor's portfolio consisted of 360 shopping centers totaling approximately 64 million square feet of gross leasable area as of June 30, 2025. The company reported a billed occupancy rate of 89.7% and a leased occupancy rate of 94.2%, compared to 91.4% and 95.4%, respectively, in the prior year. The decline in occupancy rates reflects challenges in the retail sector, although the company continues to focus on maintaining strong relationships with key tenants, including The TJX Companies, Kroger, and Burlington.

Strategically, Brixmor made several notable moves during the first half of 2025, including the acquisition of a land parcel and associated leases for $7.5 million. The company also disposed of three shopping centers and four partial shopping centers for net proceeds of $43.7 million, resulting in a gain of $18.8 million. This activity is part of Brixmor's ongoing strategy to optimize its portfolio by focusing on high-quality assets in desirable locations.

Financially, Brixmor's total debt obligations decreased to $5.1 billion as of June 30, 2025, down from $5.3 billion at the end of 2024. The company has maintained a strong liquidity position, with $1.35 billion available, including $1.25 billion under its revolving credit facility. Looking ahead, Brixmor aims to continue enhancing its portfolio through strategic acquisitions and dispositions while managing its capital structure to support growth. The company remains committed to its REIT status, planning to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to shareholders, which is essential for maintaining its tax-advantaged status.
