CBL & ASSOCIATES PROPERTIES INC 8K

CBL Properties reported strong Q2 2026 operating and financial results, increased full-year FFO and same-center NOI guidance, declared a higher dividend, executed major refinancings and selected asset dispositions, and continued to restructure its balance sheet including cooperating with lender-driven resolutions on certain encumbered properties.

On August 6, 2026, CBL Properties reported its financial and operating results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026, highlighting higher portfolio occupancy, positive leasing spreads, and growth in same-center net operating income, alongside updated full-year 2026 guidance and capital allocation actions. The company delivered a substantial increase in net income attributable to common shareholders and improved Funds from Operations (FFO) and FFO, as adjusted, per share versus the prior year, driven by rental revenue growth, reduced real estate taxes, and strong leasing activity totaling nearly 1.3 million square feet at favorable rent spreads. CBL’s Board declared a third-quarter 2026 cash dividend of $0.625 per common share (annualized $2.50), and management raised and tightened full-year 2026 FFO, as adjusted, guidance to $7.15–$7.25 per share and projected same-center NOI growth of 0.0%–1.5%. The company also executed significant financing activity year-to-date, including refinancing its $634 million legacy term loan through a pool financing structure and several property-level loans, which extended maturities, reduced near-term debt risk, and unlocked over $38 million of previously restricted cash flow, while moving to cooperate with lender-directed resolutions (sale, foreclosure, or conveyance) on several non-core or underperforming properties whose loans are in or approaching default. Additionally, CBL generated more than $61 million in disposition proceeds year-to-date, including the sale of Hammock Landing in Florida and multiple land and outparcel sales—some to multifamily developers—consistent with its strategy to harvest value from underutilized land and reposition its portfolio, while maintaining liquidity with over $320 million of unrestricted cash and securities and continuing its previously authorized $25 million stock repurchase program (with $12 million used to date).
