Read full summary
LXP’s core operating measures were modestly positive: same-store NOI rose 0.5%, adjusted FFO per diluted share increased to $0.84 from $0.80, and six-month operating cash flow increased $2.9 million to $86.2 million. However, GAAP EPS fell to $(0.03) from $0.45 because 2Q25 included a $31.4 million property-sale gain that did not recur. Revenue and gross/operating margins are not disclosed in the supplied filing extract; management states rental revenue increased $0.4 million year over year. The investment case is now dominated by the pending $61.20-per-share cash merger, which suspends common dividends and imposes operating restrictions until closing.

Reported figures
- Earnings per share
- $-0.03
What stood out
-
Adjusted FFO per share rose 5%
Adjusted Company FFO available to all equityholders increased to $49.5 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, from $47.3 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, in 2Q25. This contrasts with the GAAP common-share loss driven principally by the absence of prior-year property-sale gains.
-
Same-store NOI and occupancy remained resilient
Same-store NOI increased 0.5% year over year to $66.8 million in 2Q26, supported by cash base rent of $68.0 million versus $66.6 million. Portfolio leasing remained high at 97.4% of same-store square footage.
-
Operating cash flow improved
Six-month operating cash flow rose to $86.2 million from $83.3 million, a $2.9 million increase, primarily from acquisitions, contractual rent escalations and greater occupancy.
-
Large Phoenix project pre-leased
Second-quarter leasing included a 1.2 million-square-foot Phoenix development pre-lease with expected initial annual cash base rent of approximately $9.8 million and 3.5% annual rent escalators.
-
Substantial revolver availability
Liquidity included $18.0 million of cash and $585.0 million available on the revolving credit facility at June 30, 2026. The revolver was extended to January 2030, with a potential extension to January 2031.
-
Cash merger offers defined shareholder value
The announced merger would pay common holders $61.20 per share in cash, subject to shareholder approval and other closing conditions.
What to watch
-
GAAP earnings reversed as sale gains lapped
GAAP net loss was $8 thousand in 2Q26 versus net income of $28.4 million in 2Q25, while net loss attributable to common shareholders was $1.6 million versus income of $27.5 million. The primary driver was the absence of the prior-year $31.4 million real-estate sale gain; diluted EPS was $(0.03) versus $0.45.
-
Merger closing and termination-fee exposure
The proposed merger is subject to shareholder approval and other closing conditions. If it fails under specified circumstances, LXP may owe Parent a termination fee of up to approximately $108.2 million, or approximately $54.1 million for a qualifying superior proposal during the Go-Shop Period.
-
Merger covenants constrain capital deployment
The merger agreement restricts actions including certain acquisitions, dispositions, capital expenditures and debt incurrence before closing. This is material given $102.4 million of development and redevelopment projects under construction and approximately $164.3 million of expected further development costs.
-
Common dividend suspended pending merger
Regular common dividends have been suspended immediately under the merger agreement, despite a $0.70 per-share quarterly dividend declared for 2Q26, up from $0.675 in 2Q25.
-
Investment outflows increased materially
Six-month investing cash flow swung to an outflow of $139.9 million from an inflow of $47.6 million in 1H25, reflecting acquisitions, development investment, capital expenditures and leasing costs. The company acquired a Phoenix covered-land investment for $103.2 million during 2Q26.
Management's outlook
The 10-Q provides no quantitative revenue or EPS guidance. Management expects approximately $164.3 million of additional development costs for consolidated and non-consolidated land parcels, excluding noncontrolling interests, potential developer fees or partner buyouts, redevelopment projects and infrastructure work; timing remains uncertain. The pending merger also restricts certain operating actions prior to closing.
