Brandywine Realty Trust Q2 2026 Earnings Call Summary
Our analysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here. Management attributed the second quarter outperformance to better-than-expected tenant renewals and expansions, particularly within the Philadelphia CBD and University City submarkets. The company is executing a 'balance sheet strengthening program' by exceeding its original asset sale targets, aiming to use proceeds primarily to reduce leverage and return to investment-grade metrics. Operational success is being driven by a flight-to-quality trend, with Brandywine capturing 54% of all new leases in the Philadelphia CBD despite representing a smaller portion of total market inventory. Management highlighted that Philadelphia's market fundamentals are improving as approximately 11% of total office inventory is being monitored for conversion to residential use, reducing future office supply. Austin remains a significant drag on overall portfolio occupancy, lagging at 67% occupied, which management is addressing through strategic dispositions like 405 Colorado and targeted redevelopment at Uptown ATX. The leasing pipeline grew 13% sequentially to nearly 2 million square feet, which management views as a durable indicator of firming market conditions and high tour-to-lease conversion rates. Full-year FFO guidance was narrowed to a $0.55 midpoint, assuming the successful closing of the remaining $305 million in asset sales by the end of the third quarter. Management plans to recapitalize the final two preferred equity development projects in Austin during the second half of 2026 to recover capital and lower debt attribution. The company intends to commence redevelopment of the IBM buildings at Uptown ATX, targeting a cash yield north of 8% by offering renovated space at a 15% to 20% discount to new construction rents. Capital allocation will prioritize debt reduction, specifically targeting bonds with coupons above 8.8%, with only 5% to 10% of net proceeds allocated for opportunistic share repurchases. Guidance for the third quarter assumes a $5 million reduction in NOI due to assets held for sale, partially offset by the stabilization of the Radnor Hotel and 250 King of Prussia Road. The company successfully unencumbered the office component of 3025 JFK by securing a $90 million loan on the residential portion,…Read full documentShow less

The company successfully unencumbered the office component of 3025 JFK by securing a $90 million loan on the residential portion, adding $13 million of GAAP income to the balance sheet. Management noted that while bonds trade at a premium, they will incur one-time debt extinguishment costs to retire high-coupon debt, which are not currently included in FFO guidance. The Radnor Hotel development opened on schedule, already booking 99% of its 2026 occupancy projections within the first three months of operation. A 400-basis-point drag on total company occupancy is attributed specifically to the Austin portfolio's current vacancy levels. One stock. Nvidia-level potential. 30M+ investors trust Moby to find it first. Get the pick. Tap here. Management confirmed a multi-floor client is in advanced lease negotiations and noted a 10% increase in the project's overall pipeline. The life science market is seeing a 'durable' rebound, supported by new state-level financing initiatives like the $125 million Innovate 2.0 plan in Pennsylvania. The primary objective is achieving investment-grade metrics; buying back bonds with 8.8% coupons is viewed as a faster accelerant for credit improvement than share repurchases. Share buybacks are intended as an 'adjunct' to maintain earnings neutrality following the dilutive impact of asset sales. The sale of 405 Colorado achieved pricing north of $700 per square foot (approximately an 8% cap rate), reflecting strong institutional interest despite Austin's supply overhang. Management expects a high probability of a 'very good cap rate' transaction for the Solaris residential project within 60 to 90 days due to continued job growth and in-migration. Future sales will be a mix of stabilized core assets and under-leased properties where the capital required for stabilization yields a low return on invested capital. Management is also actively marketing non-earning land parcels to generate liquidity and improve the company's overall growth profile.

Brandywine Realty Trust (NYSE:BDN) exceeded or met its business plan expectations for the second quarter, with speculative revenue increasing by $1 million at the guidance midpoint. The company achieved 99% of its speculative revenue at the revised guidance midpoint and reported a second quarter FFO of $0.13 per share, ahead of management guidance. Brandywine Realty Trust (NYSE:BDN) completed $208 million in asset sales, with remaining sales under agreement and scheduled to close in the third quarter, raising its sale guidance to $305 million. The wholly owned portfolio is 90.6% leased and 89.1% occupied, with 88,000 square feet of positive net absorption during the quarter. The Radnor Hotel development opened on schedule and has already booked over 8,400 hotel room nights, achieving almost 99% of its 2026 occupancy projections. Brandywine Realty Trust (NYSE:BDN) reported a net loss of $31.7 million or $0.18 per share for the second quarter. The company's Austin portfolio continues to lag with only 67% occupancy, negatively impacting overall company occupancy by more than 400 basis points. Cash mark-to-market declined during the quarter, although improvement is anticipated in the next two quarters. The second quarter CAD payout ratio was 103%, indicating a higher payout than the business plan range. The company's leverage ratios remain elevated, with core net debt to EBITDA projected to be in the range of 8 to 8.4 times by year-end. Q: Could you provide more color on the 3,151 building, particularly regarding the nature of the tenancy and any improvements in the life sciences sector? A: Gerard Sweeney, President and CEO, explained that they have a multi-floor client in advanced lease negotiations, which is promising. The pipeline has increased by 10% from the last quarter, indicating positive momentum. The life sciences market is rebounding, supported by Pennsylvania's $125 million Innovate 2.0 initiative, which should accelerate growth and capital structures for life science companies. Q: Can you discuss the demand for Austin assets, particularly in light of the oversupply in the apartment market? A: Gerard Sweeney noted strong activity for 405 Colorado, with high-quality institutions showing interest. The sale of 405 Colorado was completed at over $700 per square foot, aligning with guidance. Despite Austin's oversupply, the absorption pace remains significant, and they expect a good cap rate transaction for Solaris within 60 to 90 days. Q: What is the thought process behind the split between debt repayments and stock buybacks? A: Gerard Sweeney emphasized the primary goal of achieving investment-grade metrics by reducing debt, particularly bonds with high coupon rates. The stock buyback is seen as an adjunct to maintain earnings neutrality, targeting 5% to 10% of proceeds for buybacks. CFO Thomas Wirth added that this level of buyback would not significantly impact leverage levels. Q: What is the demand for the IBM space that will be vacated, and what pre-leasing would you require to start renovations? A: Gerard Sweeney mentioned that the pipeline for the IBM space is encouraging, driven by the upcoming train station and the ability to deliver renovated office space at a discount to new construction costs. The first building is 157,000 square feet, and they hope to secure leases during the construction process. Q: After completing $300 million in dispositions this year, what are the plans for further asset sales? A: Gerard Sweeney stated that they plan to continue asset sales, with a focus on enhancing the balance sheet. They expect sales in the couple of hundred million dollar range over the next four to six quarters. The sales will include a mix of stabilized core-like assets and those with current or looming vacancies.

The company recorded 88,000 square feet of positive net absorption during the quarter and expects full-year positive net absorption for the first time in several years. → 3 Photonics Companies Making Quantum Tech Possible Quarterly leasing activity totaled 353,000 square feet, including 254,000 square feet in the wholly owned portfolio and 98,000 square feet in joint ventures. Forward leasing commencing after quarter-end totaled 166,000 square feet, with most of that expected to take occupancy this year. The company also achieved $18.3 million of speculative revenue. Sweeney said tenant retention for the quarter was 85%, prompting Brandywine to raise its full-year midpoint retention guidance to 51% to 53%. He attributed that increase to unbudgeted renewals and expansions in the Philadelphia central business district and the Pennsylvania suburbs. → AeroVironment’s Stock Is Down, But Drone Demand Is Taking Off Brandywine’s same-store results were positive 0.5% on a GAAP basis and 1.9% on a cash basis, both within current guidance ranges. The company’s GAAP mark-to-market was 1.5%, while cash mark-to-market declined during the quarter. Sweeney said management expects improvement over the next two quarters and is maintaining full-year guidance. In Philadelphia, including the CBD and University City portfolios, Sweeney said the company was 95% occupied and 97% leased, with only 7% rolling annually through 2028. He said that during the first half of 2026, 54% of all new leases signed in Brandywine’s CBD and University City submarkets were at a Brandywine property, exceeding the company’s market share. By contrast, Austin continued to lag the rest of the portfolio. Sweeney said Austin was 67% occupied and reduced overall company occupancy by more than 400 basis points. He noted that Austin quarter-end occupancy was negatively affected by 3.7% because 405 Colorado, which was 100% leased, was classified as held for sale at quarter-end and subsequently closed. Management said Brandywine is ahead of its original capital recycling plan. Sweeney said the company completed approximately $208 million of asset sales, with the remaining sales under agreement with hard money deposits and scheduled to close in the third quarter. Brandywine raised its sales guidance to $305 million, up $15 million from the business plan, with pricing in line with original guidance. Wirth said the company removed four properties totaling about 775,000 square feet from its core portfolio during the quarter because they were being held for sale. Those properties were a little more than 91.5% occupied. He said the impact of asset sales and assets held for sale on 2026 portfolio statistics would be immaterial. Sweeney said Brandywine expects to close all $305 million of sales by the end of the third quarter and has several other properties in the market as part of its 2027 disposition pipeline. He said the company generally saw strong market response to assets listed for sale, with typical marketing processes producing seven to 10 qualified bids and interest from institutional investment managers, private REITs, private capital and family offices. In response to an analyst question, Sweeney said Brandywine would expect additional sales “somewhere in the $200 million range” over the next four to six quarters, though the company has not issued a revised 2026 target or 2027 guidance. Wirth said the cap rate on 405 Colorado was around 8%, or slightly above that on a GAAP basis. Sweeney said Brandywine’s “paramount objective” is to use the vast majority of sale proceeds to reduce leverage and improve credit metrics. After receiving $192 million of sale proceeds after quarter-end, the company paid off the balance on its line of credit. Sweeney said Brandywine had no outstanding balance on its line and $35 million of cash on hand. Management said proceeds will be directed primarily toward debt reduction, including potential bond repurchases starting as early as the third quarter. Sweeney said Brandywine may use only about 5% to 10% of net proceeds to repurchase shares until it makes significant progress on leverage targets and credit metrics. He said nearly 50% of outstanding bonds have coupons above 8.8%, creating a refinancing opportunity if capital markets remain constructive. Wirth said the company will focus planned unsecured note buybacks on higher-coupon bonds, which would have a more immediate impact on coverage ratios. He cautioned that because those bonds trade at a premium, Brandywine may incur one-time debt extinguishment costs that are not included in current FFO guidance. During the quarter, Brandywine repaid the $178 million consolidated construction loan tied to 3025 JFK, which had been scheduled to mature in July 2026. The repayment was funded with a $90 million seven-year secured loan on the residential portion of the property and the unsecured line of credit. Wirth said the secured financing was swapped to a fixed all-in rate of 5.8%. Brandywine also exercised its first six-month extension right under its existing credit facility, moving the maturity date to year-end 2026. Wirth said the company continues to work with its bank group and anticipates completing a longer-term amendment during the initial extension period. Sweeney said activity levels at One Uptown and 3151 Market increased during the quarter, with the overall pipeline for the projects up more than 10% from the prior quarter. At One Uptown, he said three leases were being finalized and five proposals advancing toward lease negotiations totaled more than 100,000 square feet. At 3151 Market, he said the company had a multi-floor client in advanced lease negotiations, with the project’s overall pipeline around 46% office and 54% life science. Brandywine plans to recapitalize One Uptown and Solaris, its residential project at Uptown ATX, during the second half of 2026. Sweeney said the company anticipates a full sale of Solaris and a pari passu joint venture at One Uptown. Wirth said recapitalizing both projects is expected to generate $40 million to $50 million in cash proceeds for debt reduction and should be slightly accretive to earnings and improve leverage. At Uptown ATX, Sweeney said Brandywine plans to begin redeveloping at least one existing building ahead of IBM’s 2027 expiration. The first building consists of 157,000 square feet and is expected to be delivered in the fourth quarter of next year. He said the company is targeting rents 15% to 20% below those required for One Uptown and new development, with a cash yield north of 8%. Brandywine’s Radnor Hotel opened on schedule in May 2026. Sweeney said the 121-room hotel had already booked more than 8,400 room nights, nearly 99% of its 2026 occupancy projection, while maintaining its target average daily rate in the low $300s. The company expects to stabilize the hotel in mid-2027 and seek alternative capital structures once stabilized. Brandywine maintained its full-year FFO midpoint of $0.55 and narrowed its full-year FFO guidance range. For the third quarter, Wirth forecast core FFO of $0.13 to $0.15. Wirth said third-quarter property-level operating income is expected to approximate $69.5 million, down $3 million from the second quarter. He attributed the decrease mainly to assets that closed in July, which are expected to reduce NOI by $5 million quarter over quarter, partially offset by a full-quarter contribution from the Radnor Hotel and the stabilization of 250 King of Prussia Road. For year-end, management projected core net debt to EBITDA in a range of 8.0 to 8.4 times in Sweeney’s prepared remarks. Wirth later said the company anticipates net debt to EBITDA in the range of 8.4 to 8.8 and a fixed charge ratio between 1.8 and 2.0, assuming execution of asset sales and ATX development recapitalizations. Sweeney said the company is seeing monthly increases in its leasing pipeline across core markets and expects 2026 to show earnings growth and lower leverage compared with 2025.

FY2026 Q2 earnings call transcript
Thank you for standing by, and welcome to the Brandywine Realty Trust second quarter 2026 earnings call. At this time, all participants are in listen-only mode. After the speaker's presentation, there will be a question-and-answer session. To ask a question during the session, you'll need to press star one one on your telephone. If your question has been answered and you'd like to remove yourself from the queue, simply press star one one again. As a reminder, today's program is being recorded. Now I'd like to introduce your host for today's program, Jerry Sweeney, President and CEO. Please go ahead, sir.
Jonathan, thank you very much. Good morning, everyone. Thank you for participating in our second quarter 2026 earnings call. On today's call with me are Dan Palazzo, our Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, and Tom Wirth, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Prior to beginning, certain information discussed on the call today may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities law. Although we believe estimates reflected in these statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we cannot give assurance that the anticipated results will be achieved. For further information on factors that could impact our anticipated results, please reference our press release as well as our most recent and annual and quarterly reports that we file with the SEC.
During our prepared comments today, Tom and I will briefly review second quarter results and frame out the key assumptions driving our guidance for the second half of the year. After that, Dan, Tom, and I are available to answer any questions. To start from an operating portfolio management and liquidity standpoint, the second quarter produced results that exceeded or were in line with our business plan. This is highlighted by our speculative revenue increasing by $1 million our guidance midpoint. Also, due to better than expected tenant renewals and expansions, we increased our full-year range for tenant retention. All of our other full-year operating and financial metrics remain unchanged from our original 2026 business plan. Since our last call, significant progress has been made on our capital markets activity, including asset sales and our 3025 refinancing that we'll review in a few moments.
Quarterly highlights include achieving 99% of our speculative revenue at the revised guidance midpoint. Our second quarter FFO of $0.13 per share. That was ahead of the management guidance we provided on our first quarter call and $0.01 below consensus. We are maintaining our $0.55 full year midpoint and have narrowed our full year FFO guidance range accordingly. Our balance sheet strengthening program's progressing very much on target with approximately $208 million of asset sales now complete and the remaining under agreement with hard money deposits and scheduled to close in the third quarter. We raised our sale guidance to $305 million, which is up $15 million from our business plan. For all sales, we have achieved pricing in line with our original guidance.
Looking more closely at second quarter operations, solid operating metrics reinforced our strong market positioning and tenants' continued preference for high-quality space. Our wholly owned portfolio is 90.6% leased and 89.1% occupied. We had 88,000 sq ft of positive net absorption during the quarter. Our year-end occupancy and lease percentage will improve throughout the year as we will have positive full-year net absorption for the first time in several years as additional evidence of the ever improving market in which we're operating. Leasing activity for the quarter totaled 353,000 sq ft, including 254,000 sq ft in our wholly owned portfolio and 98,000 sq ft in our joint ventures. Forward leasing commencing after quarter-end totaled 166,000 sq ft, with most taking occupancy this year. We have also achieved $18.3 million of spec revenue.
That outperformance versus our original plan was primarily driven by Philadelphia CBD and our University City operations. Tenant retention for the quarter was 85%, resulting in us raising our full-year midpoint retention to 51%-53%. This raise is due to unbudgeted renewals and expansions, again in Philadelphia CBD and the Pennsylvania suburbs. Our capital ratio for the quarter was 12.9% within our 2026 business plan range. Our year-to-date capital ratio remains below our 2026 range, but will remain within the overall guidance that we've provided. Our GAAP mark-to-market was 1.5%. Cash market mark-to-market declined during the quarter. But we do anticipate improving results in the next two quarters and are maintaining our full-year guidance. Our same store results were a positive 0.5% on a GAAP basis and 1.9% on a cash basis, both within our current guidance ranges.
Tour volume in the second quarter remained on pace with the high volume we saw in the first quarter. We also continue to experience good tour conversion rates. For the trailing four quarters, 53% of our tours convert to a lease proposal, and from proposal, 41% converted to executed leases, which is above our historical average. A few additional comments regarding market dynamics. In Philadelphia, which includes our CBD and University City portfolios, we are now 95% occupied and 97% leased, with only 7% rolling annually through 2028, and overall activity levels remain very strong. During the quarter, we continued our CBD outperformance trend for the entire first half of 2026, with 54% of all new leases signed in our CBD and University City submarkets being at a Brandywine property, significantly exceeding our market share.
In addition to that, as noted on page four of the SIP, we are monitoring conversion projects aggregating more than 5.1 million sq ft, representing approximately 11% of Philadelphia's total office inventory. Our marketing position in Philadelphia will continue to improve as these conversion projects get executed. In the Pennsylvania suburbs, we're 91% leased, with the Radnor submarket being 93% leased. We continue to see solid levels of pipeline prospects for all of our existing vacancies. On the other hand, Austin, at 67% occupied, continues to lag the rest of the portfolio and creates a more than 400 basis point drop in our overall company occupancy. Our Austin quarter-end occupancy was negatively impacted by 3.7% due to 405 Colorado, which is 100% leased, being held for sale at the end of the quarter and subsequently closed.
The operating portfolio leasing pipeline is up 13%, or 220,000 square feet from the first quarter, and remains a solid level just shy of 2 million sq ft. This pipeline includes about 456,000 sq ft of deals in advanced stages of negotiation. Turning to our balance sheet, we remain in solid shape from a liquidity standpoint. While we had a balance outstanding on our line of credit at quarter end, upon receipt of $192 million of sale proceeds, we paid off that balance. As such, there is no outstanding balance on our line of credit, and we have $35 million of cash on hand. Our paramount objective is to use the vast majority of sale proceeds to reduce company leverage and to further improve credit metrics.
We intend to use our cash balances and sale proceeds to further reduce debt, including repurchasing bonds starting as early as this quarter, and to a much lesser extent, repurchasing shares. Regarding our planned share buyback program, until we make significant progress on achieving all of our leverage targets and credit metrics, we anticipate using only about 5%-10% of our net proceeds to repurchase shares. Consistent with this approach, and as noted previously, our multiple-year plan is designed to return to investment-grade metrics. We plan to maintain minimal balances on our line of credit and continue improving all credit metrics. The execution of our sales program is an excellent catalyst to reduce overall leverage levels and further improve all credit metrics.
As a point of note, almost 50% of our outstanding bonds have coupons north of 8.8%, providing an excellent refinancing opportunity over the next several years, assuming capital markets remain constructive. Regarding other elements of our capital plan, during the quarter, we repaid 3025 JFK's construction loan with a $90 million seven years secured financing on our residential component of Avira and payments from our unsecured line of credit. This transaction unencumbered the office component of the property for inclusion in our unencumbered asset pool, bringing over $13 million of GAAP income onto our balance sheet. During the quarter, we also exercised our first six-month extension right under our existing credit facility, moving the maturity date to year-end 2026. As we complete our 2026 capital recycling program and other capital market activity, we'll continue our productive work with our bank group to recast the facility during this extension period.
With the asset sale activity and the financings, we do project our year-end core net debt to EBITDA to be, as we outlined in the SIP, in a range of 8-8.4 times. Looking at our two remaining development projects, One Uptown and 3151, while we have minimal definitive results to report this quarter, activity levels have been quite significant. Our overall pipeline for these projects is up over 10% from our last quarter. More importantly, at One Uptown, we have three leases being finalized and five proposals advancing towards lease negotiations that total over 100,000 sq ft. At 3151, in addition to the pipeline continuing to build, we have a multi-floor client in advanced lease negotiations, and our overall pipeline remains around 46% office and 54% life science. We also have several other prospects in active discussions and several other key proposals outstanding.
Additionally, in anticipation of the 2027 IBM expiration at Uptown ATX, we do plan to commence redeveloping at least one of the existing buildings. Since announcing this initiative, we've built a pipeline of over 1.1 million sq ft, with that pipeline having lease commencement dates ranging from 2027-2028. The market response has been exceptional. The first building consists of 157,000 sq ft, and we expect to deliver that renovated building in the fourth quarter of next year. We do expect rent levels to be 15%-20% below rents required at One Uptown and for brand-new development, and we're targeting a cash yield north of 8%. As prospective tenant requirements advance, we also have planning underway to do similar renovations to several other buildings within the complex. Our Radnor Hotel development opened on schedule in May 2026.
This 121-room hotel is situated adjacent to our 2.1 million sq ft Radnor Life Science portfolio, office portfolio in Penn Medicine's campus. The hotel is already serving as an excellent amenity for the Brandywine tenant base, the eight universities and colleges within a 5-mile radius, and the adjoining Penn Medicine complex. For the partial year, 8-month operating period from May, when we opened the doors through December 2026, our pro forma projected a total of 8,500 room nights sold at a target ADR in the low 300s. To date, with less than 3 months of operations, we have already booked over 8,400 hotel room nights, achieving almost 99% of our 2026 occupancy projections while maintaining our ADR target. These initial results are very encouraging. We'll be fully opening our two food and beverage offerings by Labor Day, and we expect to stabilize the project in mid-2027.
As we've noted previously, once this project is stabilized, we will aggressively seek alternative capital structures for this operation. Looking at capital markets, as we've already highlighted, we've exceeded our initial 2026 business plan target of $280 million-$300 million of sales. We expect to close all $305 million of sales by the end of the third quarter. We do have several other properties in the market for sale as we look at our disposition pipeline moving into 2027. In general, the response from the market on assets listed for sale was very strong. There was considerable interest with the typical marketing process producing 7-10 qualified bids. All buyer types were engaged, including institutional investment managers, private REITs, and significant interest from private capital and family offices.
Looking at further elements of our capital plan, we do plan to recapitalize both One Uptown and Solaris, our residential project, Uptown ATX, during the second half of 2026. We anticipate a full sale on Solaris and a pari passu joint venture on One Uptown. These initiatives will recover significant capital, lower debt attribution while increasing liquidity. With that overview, Tom will now review our financial results for the second quarter and outlook for the balance of the year. Tom?
Thank you, Jerry, and good morning. Our second quarter net loss was $31.7 million, or $0.18 per share. Our second quarter FFO totaled $23.6 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, above our first quarter guidance and $0.01 below consensus estimates. The general observations for the second quarter, FFO contribution from our joint ventures was $0.3 million or $1.2 million above our forecast due to termination fee income and improving leasing. G&A expense was below our forecast by $0.2 million, primarily due to timing. Other income and term fees were $2.2 million or $0.3 million below reforecast due to lower termination fee income. Third-party fees were $1.8 million, $0.3 million above forecast due to higher third-party leasing fees. Property-level NOI, interest expense and other forecasts according to results were generally in line.
Looking at our debt metrics, second quarter debt service and interest coverage ratios were 1.7, both equal to our first quarter results. Our second quarter annualized combined and core net debt EBITDA were 9.0 and 8.1, respectively. Most of our sales and debt reduction will occur during the third quarter, our leverage metrics are similar to the first quarter. During the second half of the year, we expect these leverage levels to decrease. Portfolio composition. During the second quarter, we removed four properties from our core portfolio that are being held for sale, totaling approximately 775,000 sq ft. They are roughly a little over 91.5% occupied. To confirm, properties that are classified as held for sale are removed from our core end operating statistics. Based on the asset sold and the assets held for sale, the impact to our 2026 portfolio statistics will be immaterial.
During the second quarter, we added 250 King of Prussia Road, our 168,000 sq ft life science property located in the Radnor submarket. The core portfolio as the property stabilized in June. From liquidity and financing, we continue to maintain solid liquidity with $35 million current cash on hand and no outstanding balance on our unsecured line of credit after taking into account the announced July sales activity. Related to sales activity, we adjusted our business plan for an increase to the wholly owned disposition activity. As Jerry touched on, we have increased our sales target to $305 million with $208 million already closed and two properties expected to close during the third quarter. Majority of these proceeds will be used to reduce debt and continue our path back to investment grade.
With respect to our planned buyback activity on the unsecured notes, we will be focused on notes with higher coupons as that will have more of an immediate impact to improve our coverage ratios. These bonds trade at a premium, we will incur one-time debt extinguishment costs. However, we have not included these in our estimates of current FFO guidance. We also intend to use a portion of these proceeds, as Jerry mentioned, for sales proceeds to have an opportunistically buy back some shares. From a financing activity, the $178 million consolidated construction loan that was scheduled to mature in July 2026 was repaid in June. We have funded the repayment with a secured loan on the residential portion of the property totaling $90 million, and our unsecured line of credit to unencumber the property.
The $90 million seven-year secured financing was swapped to a fixed all-in rate of 5.8%. Regarding the credit facility, our unsecured line of credit had an initial maturity date of June 2026, with two six-month extensions through June 2027. While we complete our sales and debt reduction program, we continue to work with our bank group and anticipate completing a longer-term amendment during the initial six-month extension period. Looking at the recapitalizations. As our joint ventures continue to lease up and cash flows improve, we anticipate recapitalizing the final two preferred equity development projects into pari passu common equity joint venture structures during the second half of the year with our ownership decreasing to a minority stake or an outright sale. We extended two existing loans on our ATX projects.
While we still anticipate closing those transactions in the second half of the year, we felt extending the loans will allow us time to run the recapitalization process without concerns about the maturities. The recapitalization of both these projects will generate cash proceeds between $40 million and $50 million that will be used to further reduce our wholly owned leverage and will be slightly accretive to earnings and improve leverage. We continue to feel incrementally more positive about executing our land sales program this year, but we have not included any land proceeds, gains, or losses in our results or forecasted results. Focusing on the third quarter guidance, property-level operating income will approximate $69.5 million and will be $3 million below the second quarter.
The incremental decrease is primarily due to the assets that are held for sale that did close in July, and that will generate a $5 million reduction in NOI for the third quarter versus the second quarter. The lower NOI is partially offset by the full quarter impact of the Radnor Hotel, which commenced operations in May and will generate a $1.2 million quarter-over-quarter increase. We also have the stabilization of 250 King of Prussia Road, which stabilized in June and will have that full quarter effect in the third quarter as well. FFO contribution from our joint ventures will be break even for the third quarter. G&A expense for the third quarter will total $7.5 million. The sequential decrease is consistent with prior quarters and is primarily due to the timing of deferred compensation expense recognition. Our full-year range is maintained at $36 million-$37 million.
Total interest expense, including deferred financing costs, will approximate $40 million, which includes $400,000 of capitalized interest. We have lowered our full-year interest expense range by $6.5 million at the midpoint to account for the anticipated lower debt balances. As previously mentioned, in connection with potentially buying back our unsecured bonds, we may incur one-time extinguishment charges that are not currently included in our guidance. Termination fee and other income will total $2.8 million. Net third-party fees will approximate $1.5 million. Interest income, $500,000, and our fully diluted share count will be 180 million. For clarity, the above forecasted results on our core FFO range will be $0.13-$0.15 for the current third quarter. Turning to our capital plan. Second half of the year remains active with a total of $250 million of activity. Our second quarter CAD payout ratio was 103%.
Payout will remain within our business plan range for the balance of the year at 70%-90%, which we expect incremental improvement in the payout ratio as FFO improves for the balance of the year. Looking at the larger uses, we have development spend of $40 million. We also have $28 million of common dividends, $17 million of revenue maintained capital, $25 million of revenue creative capital, and $10 million of equity contributions to our joint ventures. The sources are going to be $55 million of cash flow from after interest and asset sales totaling $290 million. Based on the capital plan, we anticipate having small balance outstanding on our unsecured line of credit. We anticipate our net debt to EBITDA to still be in the range of 8.4-8.8, and our fixed charge ratio will be between 1.8 and 2.0.
Implicit in these ratios is the execution of our asset sales program and the recapitalization of the ATX developments. Until revenue comes online from our remaining development projects, particularly 3151 Market, our leverage ratios will remain elevated. Our asset sales recycling program is generating proceeds that will lower debt levels and improve our leverage metrics for both bonds and the credit facility. The benefit of this will be reported in the future quarters as we continue to execute on this program. I will now turn the call back over to Jerry.
Great. Thank you, Tom. As we wrap up and look ahead, market conditions continue to firm. We're seeing, as I mentioned, a monthly increase to our overall pipeline across the board in all of our core markets. Our leasing team are doing a great job in terms of making sure we capture more than our market share of lease deals across our portfolio. As we've outlined, 2026 is going to show earnings growth and lower leverage over 2025. We certainly expect further improvement in growth into 2026. As Tom touched on, as we continue to stabilize and recapitalize these projects, we do believe they'll be generating significant incremental NOI in 2026, 2027, and 2028. The groundwork's been laid, and we'll continue building on the momentum that our teams have created to drive long-term value. With that, Jonathan, we're delighted to open up the floor for questions.
As we always do, we ask that in the interest of time and courtesy, you limit yourself to one question and follow-up.
Certainly. Thank you. Our first question for today comes from the line of Steve Sakwa from Evercore ISI. Your question, please.
Yeah, thanks. Good morning, Jerry and Tom. Could you maybe just provide a little bit more color on the 3151? I think you said you had multiple floor users looking at the building. Maybe just talk maybe about the nature of the tenancy, life science versus traditional office. Have you seen any meaningful improvement on the life sciences front as capital markets activity on that front has gotten better over the last six to nine months?
Yeah. Certainly, Steve. How are you this morning? Yeah, 3151, we actually have a multi-floor client in advanced stage of lease negotiations right now. We think that's moving very positively. We think that will also generate some additional momentum. As I mentioned, the pipeline is up about 10% from last quarter. I know pipeline isn't getting a deal done, but it's a harbinger of good things to come. We're happy that the tour velocity remains very active. A lot of ongoing discussions, proposals are advancing. In terms of the life science market, we are seeing a bit of a rebound.
In fact, we were fortunate enough here at Cira Centre to host an event the other day with the Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, a number of other political notaries, state senators, et cetera, to announce the Commonwealth as part of the budget this year, adopted $125 million Innovate in PA 2.0, which is geared towards providing attractive financing to help life science companies grow. We think that will accelerate the growth rate and the capital structures of a number of the life science companies that are being curated, both at B+labs, other incubators in the city, and certainly start to create a little more momentum for those incubator-level tenants to move to graduate spaces. We are talking to a couple of tenants in our graduate-level spaces about taking more space in 3151.
The trend line is acceleration is not occurring certainly at the pace any of us would like, but the trend line is positive. It seems to be durable. We're certainly looking forward to getting a couple of leases across the finish line on this building.
Okay, thanks. Just as a follow-up, I think you said that Solaris and One Uptown were basically JV/asset sale kind of in the back half of the year. Maybe just talk about the demand for Austin assets in general, particularly on the apartment side, just given that that market's been oversupplied. What kind of demand did you see when you went to sell 405 Colorado?
Well, in terms of 405 Colorado, we saw great activity. I guess stepping back for just a second, if you look at the activities that we have taken place in Austin, our primary focus, as I've talked on the calls before, is to take real advantage of the long-term value opportunity we have at Uptown. As noted in the SIP, we achieved some excellent zoning changes in the last year or so that moved our FAR from 3:1 to 12:1, moved up our height limit. Certainly, a big focus of our talent and capital base is going to be directed to harvesting the value we can create at One Uptown. Based on that, with our sale program really focused on reducing leverage, we took a look at a lot of properties in our portfolio.
405 came up as a property that's obviously very high quality, fully leased. We thought it was a good time to optimize some value there. We saw a very active bid list from a number of very high-quality institutions. We closed that transaction a few weeks ago. The pricing of that project, north of $700 sq ft, came right in line with our assumed guidance. Even with the CBD market having more than 5 million sq ft of current vacancy, including space coming online and projected absorption levels between 500,000 and 1 million sq ft, even with that overhang of the five- to six-year stabilization period, I think the leasing profile and the weighted average lease term that we had on 405 was very attractive to a lot of investors. Very pleased to get that across the table.
It helps us focus back on One Uptown, and Uptown ATX in general, as well as generating a lot of great liquidity for us. Looking at Solaris. Look, we had great success in absorbing space at Solaris, and we've been testing the waters with a number of investors. We think that there's a high probability to get a very good cap rate transaction on that project done within the next 60-90 days.
Thank you.
The migration is still very good. The job growth is still very good. Even though there's a temporary overbuilding of apartments, the absorption pace has been pretty significant throughout the city of Austin.
Great. That's it for me. Thanks.
Thanks, Steve.
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Seth Bergey from Citi. Your question, please.
Thanks. It's Nick Joseph here with Seth. Just hoping to get some more commentary on the thought process behind the split between the debt repayments and the stock buybacks. Obviously, that's accretion from the buyback side, but recognize the desire to return to investment-grade metrics. Just wondering how you came up with that 5%-10% proceeds for the buybacks.
Yeah. Hey, Nick, Tom and I will tag-team this. Look, again, as I mentioned, the paramount objective is to move to investment grade, improve all of our credit metrics. The opportunity we have is we have about $900 million of outstanding bonds that have a coupon rate in the high eights, high eight percentage rate. Being able to minimize those interest payments by buying back a lot of bonds is a real accelerant to improving all of our credit metrics. When we take a look at the share buyback, it's really deemed to be an adjunct to maintain earnings neutrality through the impact of our sales program. Right now, we're targeting that somewhere between 5%-10% of overall proceeds. I did mention that we have some other projects in the market for sale. Tom alluded to some of the land sale activity we're having.
We're on a clear path to generate surplus liquidity and use that liquidity to improve our overall balance sheet metrics, with a piece of that being allocated to recognize the big dislocation between what we view as asset value and where the stock price is trading. I mean, certainly, trading a range of assets at $300 million this year thus far at our targeted cap rate in the high sevens to low eights versus where the stock is trading, say, on a cap rate basis, is a clear indication that the stock price as it sits today is currently undervalued. That being said, major focus is to improve all the credit metrics. Tom, do you have anything else to add to that?
I'd just add to that, Seth. At those levels of buyback, if in fact we do them, and it's all dependent on where markets are, is that it doesn't really impact our leverage levels significantly at all to buy back some shares, relative to the leverage levels. Again, every dollar we go into debt is important, but we do think that it's not going to impact our leverage levels dramatically at all to have some level of buybacks that's in that single-digit area, especially when we're trying to buy back bonds that are north of 8.5% coupon, yield to maturity probably somewhere in the mid-sixes. Still allows us to de-lever and keep earnings kind of in a neutral place.
This is Seth here, just as a follow-up. Can you just provide us some color on kind of what the demand is for kind of the IBM space that they're going to vacate, and you have plans to renovate, and what kind of pre-leasing would you kind of look for to start on 904 and 906?
Good morning, Seth. Certainly, look, as I mentioned, the pipeline since we announced this initiative has been very encouraging. I think part of that is the fact that people, I think, see the value in our Uptown development. Again, the train station coming online early next year really does achieve that ultimate goal we had of it becoming the first mass transit-served mixed-use development in Austin. CapMetro does project that to be the second busiest train station on that line. We think that's been a real draw in bringing companies to look at Uptown ATX. The ability to deliver these buildings at a pricing discount, the new construction costs, with floor-to-ceiling glass, completely renovated HVAC system, and mechanical systems with a really first-quality presentation has been attractive to everyone.
Of course, that overall sub-market, even when you factor in sublease space, is less than 8% vacant. We felt there was a real window of opportunity. The first building we plan to start is about 157,000 sq ft. We're hoping to get some leases done as we move through that construction process, but certainly moving forward, other buildings are going to be a function of getting leases signed. We think we have some good discussions underway that will validate that thesis. We'll see what the market presents. The game plan as we see it, is there's a window of opportunity here to deliver within a mixed-use community a very good quality renovated office space that hits the price point that a lot of people are looking for.
Given the amenity base we're building at Uptown as well as the mass transit accessibility, we think that's a pretty good prescription for success.
Great. Thanks.
Thank you.
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Upal Rana from KeyBank. Your question, please.
Great. Thank you. Jerry, on the 405 Colorado Tower disposition, what was the cap rate on that? Also, once the $300 million of dispositions are completed this year, where would you stand on doing further dispositions from here? Trying to get a sense of how much more there's left to do.
I think from our perspective, we're looking to do more asset sales. I think I mentioned that in our commentary. We have a number of assets in the market for sale. We haven't put a revised target in place for 2026, we haven't put out any guidance for 2027. Certainly, as we take a look at each asset that we have within our portfolio, as we mentioned on the last call, we're analyzing each asset, its relative growth profile, what level of investment is required to bring those properties to stabilization and to deliver growth to the company. We would certainly expect sales somewhere in the $200 million range over the next four to six quarters as we move forward with this balance sheet enhancing program.
Upal, on 405, we did have a filing that kind of put the cap rate right around 8%, maybe a little slightly above that. Cash will be a little lower than that's basically the cap rate we got on that asset.
On a cap basis, right.
Okay, great. That was helpful. Just on the occupancy, it improved 80 basis points to 89.1%, and the lease percentage also increased. You mentioned this year will be your first positive net absorption year in a while. I'm just trying to get a sense of timing on occupants in the back half. You've got 166,000 still to commence, and you sold several assets, which two of them are fully leased. Just want to get your thoughts there and does your guidance still suggests further improvement in the back half?
Yeah, I think we will have positive absorption for the full year. As we outlined in the original business plan call, we'll have a dip in the third quarter from an absorption standpoint, then we'll pick up strong in the fourth quarter. We're holding our year-end occupancy and lease targets. I think, generally, though, to answer your question, I think we're very encouraged with the number of tenants coming back into the marketplace. We do think that the bias towards quality buildings, quality operators, efficient operations remains very much intact. We think with our on-the-ground leasing and property management team, I think that's honestly one of the reasons why we're capturing so much activity versus our market share.
We think there's a real window to amplify the quality bias of our portfolio and team, and I think that's one of the reasons why that pipeline continues to build. To have our pipeline up quarter-over-quarter has actually been very good reinforcement of our leasing and marketing strategies. We're not going to really rest till we get that occupancy level well above 90%. Again, if you take a look at our Pennsylvania-based assets, CBD Philadelphia, University City, and the couple of submarkets we're in in the suburbs, we're doing really well. We have a challenge in Austin, and we've got some programs in place to address that over the next several quarters. We're hopefully going to pick up some absorption there as well to bring that drag on our overall occupancy and leasing stats to minimize that in future quarters.
Okay, great. That was helpful. Thank you.
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Dylan Burzinski from Green Street. Your question, please.
Hey, guys. Most of my questions have been answered, I guess as you think about any sort of remaining asset sales, is that likely to be more so stabilized core-like assets or more assets with maybe some either current vacancy or looming vacancy as we look out over the next few years? Can you kind of just maybe talk about how you think about the portfolio today?
Great question. Good morning. Without being too vague, it's going to be a mix. Again, we take a hard discipline look at every single asset and go through that net present value calculation. We're constantly testing where we think values are. For us, it's really about at what point each asset is at its optimal value point given current market conditions. Even when you take a look at what we sold this year, we sold one significantly under-leased property because the reality from our perspective was that the amount of capital required to bring that project to stabilization and the projected absorption timeline delivered a very low return on invested capital. From a net present value standpoint, we're able actually from the sales standpoint today exceed that net present value. We're going through the exercise, Dylan, across the entire company.
We took a look at 405 or 500 North Gulph Road. There, the weighted average lease terms in today's market were very attractive to a whole series of investors. We thought that was a good optimal price point for us to generate the liquidity to execute the balance sheet strategy we have underway. I think you should be looking out for a mix of asset sales going forward. As Tom alluded, we are also taking a look at a lot of our land inventory and have a certain number of those parcels going through the sale process. And that, again, is it is a non-earning asset. Our major quest right now is to generate liquidity, to improve the balance sheet, and to improve our growth profile going forward.
Would you say for the assets you've brought to market, that exercise of comparing sort of the capital markets bids versus where your guys' internal assessment of value is closer when you look at stabilized core assets? Can you kind of just give us? I am just trying to get a sense for, as buyers get back into the market, is there a stronger depth of appetite for maybe more value-add oriented assets versus the core product? Just curious your thoughts there.
No, hey, it's a great question, and we actually debate that internally. I think the market is moving. It's still core money there, and I think the core money is really focused on stability, weighted average lease term, asset quality, and sub-market positioning and sub-market dynamics, key issues. But we are also seeing an interesting return of a lot of value-add capital that is basically taking a look at the supply pipeline coming on board in the office sector, which is de minimis, as all the forecasts show. In the case of Philadelphia, just to use that as an example, 11%-plus of the inventory being converted to residential, public policy moving to amplify more office-to-residential conversions. You can actually make a pretty good quantitative case that the office market fundamentals will improve dramatically in the next several years.
We're seeing a number of value-add buyers come in who are willing to take vacancy risk and not overpay for that today, but be much more aggressive in pricing that today than they were a year or two ago. And with the debt markets being very fluid, that is also amplifying, I think, the pace of their execution. I think it's a good time for us to be taking a look at our overall portfolio, identifying which assets will deliver great growth for us from a quality and financial standpoint. And then use what we're hearing from the market dynamics as we're talking to different investors to dovetail in where we want to sell assets and at what price points acceptable.
Great, Jerry. Thanks for that thoughtful explanation. Appreciate it. Have a good one.
Thanks, Dylan.
Yep.
Thank you. As a reminder, if you have a question at this time, please press star one on your telephone. Our next question comes from the line of Anthony Paolone from JPMorgan. Your question, please.
Yeah. Thanks. Just two quicker ones, I think. One is on the IBM buildings. What do you think your all-in spend will need to be to get those repositioned and backfilled?
Yeah, I think on the first building, which is what we kind of fully priced out, I think the idea there is we'll be somewhere in the $60 million range. That includes the related infrastructure work, all the TI cost, and getting all the base building improvements done.
Okay. Would that be a similar type number for the other if you kind of move it in that same direction, or?
Yeah, Anthony, I think so. I hesitate to give you a definitive answer because we're pricing through all that right now. My guess, that's a good order of magnitude pricing. I think the key issue for us, in addition to the cost number, is where the rents will be versus new development rents and our targeted returns being north of 8%. We're kind of looking at those metrics to really drive the cost equation as well.
Got it. Just second one, with the JV recap anticipate, and you mentioned ownership stake going down. What do you think order of magnitude your ending ownership stake's going to be?
Yeah, I think our ideal structure, both from a liquidity harvesting, profit-taking, balance sheet improvement, is to probably be a holder of between 10% and 20%, the bias more towards 10%. As I mentioned right now, the current thought process is while we're talking to a couple of partners on the residential project in Austin, I think the bias right now is to sell that, get more pricing for us.
Got it. Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you. This does conclude the question and answer session of today's program. I'd like to hand the program back to Jerry Sweeney for any further remarks.
Jonathan, thank you. Just thank all of you for participating in our second quarter earnings call. We look forward to updating you on our business plan progress in October for our third quarter call. In the meantime, have a wonderful summer. Thank you very much.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for your participation in today's conference. This does conclude the program. You may now disconnect. Good day.

Narrows 2026 Guidance PHILADELPHIA, July 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brandywine Realty Trust (NYSE: BDN) today reported its financial and operating results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026. Management Comments “We are pleased with our second quarter progress on our 2026 Business Plan highlighted by raising our speculative revenue midpoint guidance by 5.7%, and achieving 99% of the revised target,” stated Gerard H. Sweeney, President and Chief Executive Officer of Brandywine Realty Trust. “We have also experienced higher tenant renewals and more tenant expansions and based on our second quarter retention rate of 85%, we have increased our projected full year tenant retention midpoint by 10%. Turning to capital markets, we have now closed $208 million of portfolio asset sales and have increased our asset sales target from $290 million to $305 million. We expect the remaining asset sales to close later this quarter. Consistent with our business plan, we plan to use most of the proceeds from these asset sales to lower our outstanding debt and, to a smaller extent, repurchase our common stock. We also completed the refinancing of Avira with a 7-year, $90 million financing at a 5.8% annual interest rate and repaid our $178 million construction loan. We remain in an excellent liquidity position, and after our recent sales activity, we have no outstanding balance on our $600 million unsecured line of credit and $35 million of cash-on-hand. Based on the progress we have made on our 2026 Business Plan, we are narrowing our FFO range from $0.52 to $0.58 per share to $0.53 to $0.57 per share.” Second Quarter Highlights Financial Results Net loss available to common shareholders: $(31.7) million, or $(0.18) per diluted share.

We reclassified the property as held for sale as of June 30, 2026 on our consolidated balance sheet.

Finance / Capital Markets Activity On May 28, 2026, we exercised our first six-month extension right on our existing unsecured credit facility moving the maturity date to December 2026. As previously disclosed, in May 2026, our One Uptown ventures entered into extension options with the existing lenders. The loan for One Uptown – Multi-Family has been extended to July 29, 2027 and the total loan capacity was reduced from $85.0 million to $76.5 million. The loan for One Uptown – Office has been extended to July 29, 2028 and the total loan capacity was reduced from $121.7 million to $108.9 million. In June 2026, we closed on a $90 million secured term loan at Avira, the residential component of 3025 JFK located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The loan bears interest at 1.85% over the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) and has a maturity date of June 2033. Effective June 24, 2026, this loan was swapped to an all-in fixed rate of 5.81% through the maturity date. The secured term loan combined with proceeds from our unsecured line of credit funded the retirement of the existing $178 million construction loan on June 23, 2026. The $178 million construction loan was scheduled to mature in July 2026. As of June 30, 2026, we had $149 million outstanding balance on our $600.0 million unsecured line of credit. As a result of the disposition sales activity noted above, we currently have no outstanding balance on our $600.0 million unsecured line of credit. As of June 30, 2026, we had $40.2 million of cash and cash equivalents on-hand. As a result of the disposition activity noted above, we currently have $35 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand. Results for the Three and Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 2026 Net loss attributable to common shareholders totaled $(31.7) million, or $(0.18) per share, in the second quarter of 2026 compared to net loss of $(89.0) million, or $(0.51) per share, in the second quarter of 2025. Our 2025 results include non-cash impairment charges totaling $63.4 million or $0.37 per share, related to portfolio assets in Austin, Texas. FFO attributable to common shareholders and units totaled $23.6 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2026 as compared to $26.1 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025. Our second quarter 2026 payout ratio ($0.08 common share distribution / $0.13 FFO per diluted share) was 62%. Net loss attributable to common shareholders totaled $(80.6) million, or $(0.46) per share, in the first six months of 2026 compared to net loss of $(116.4) million, or $(0.67) per share, in the first six months of 2025. Our 2025 results include non-cash impairment charges totaling $63.4 million or $0.37 per share, related to portfolio assets located in Austin, Texas. Our FFO available to common shareholders and units for the first six months of 2026 totaled $43.6 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, versus $50.8 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2025. Our payout ratio for the first half 2026 ($0.16 common share distribution / $0.24 FFO per diluted share) was 67%. Operating and Leasing Activity In the second quarter of 2026, our same store Net Operating Income (NOI) excluding termination revenues and other income items increased 0.5% on an accrual basis and increased 1.9% on a cash basis for our 55 same store properties, which were 89.0% and 89.1% occupied on June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We leased approximately 254,000 square feet and commenced occupancy on 245,000 square feet during the second quarter of 2026. The second quarter occupancy activity includes 60,000 square feet of renewals, 111,000 square feet of new leases and 74,000 square feet of tenant expansions. We have an additional 166,000 square feet of executed new leasing scheduled to commence subsequent to June 30, 2026. Our second quarter tenant retention ratio was 85% in our core portfolio with net absorption of 88,000 square feet during the second quarter of 2026. Second quarter rental rate growth increased 1.5% as our renewal rental rates decreased (0.5)% and our new lease/expansion rental rates increased 4.7%, all on an accrual basis. At June 30, 2026, our core portfolio of 57 properties comprises 10.8 million square feet, was 89.1% occupied and, as of July 15, 2026, we are now 90.6% leased (reflecting new leases commencing after June 30, 2026). Dividend Distributions On May 28, 2026, our Board of Trustees declared a quarterly dividend distribution of $0.08 per common share that was paid on July 22, 2026 to shareholders of record as of July 8, 2026. 2026 Earnings and FFO Guidance Based on current plans and assumptions and subject to the risks and uncertainties more fully described in our Securities and Exchange Commission filings, we are adjusting our 2026 loss per share guidance from $(0.76) - $(0.70) per share to $(0.45) – $(0.41) per share and we are narrowing our 2026 FFO guidance from $0.52 - $0.58 per diluted share to $0.53 - $0.57 per diluted share. Our adjustment to guidance for the 2026 loss per share is primarily due to the projected net gains on sale of undepreciated real estate. This guidance is provided for informational purposes and is subject to change. The following is a reconciliation of the calculation of 2026 FFO and earnings per diluted share: Our 2026 FFO key assumptions include: Year-end Core Occupancy Range: 89-90%; Year-end Core Leased Range: 90-91%; Rental Rate Mark-to-Market (accrual): 5-7%; Rental Rate Mark-to-Market (cash): (2)-0%; Same Store (accrual) NOI Range: (1)-1%; Same Store (cash) NOI Range: 0-2%; Speculative Revenue Target: $18.4 - $18.6 million, $18.3 million achieved; Tenant Retention Rate Range: 51-53%; Property Acquisition Activity: None; Property Sales Activity: $305 million; Development Starts: Redevelopment of one existing Uptown ATX building in Austin, Texas; Financing Activity: Repaid our $178 million 3025 JFK Construction Loan maturing in July 2026, financed Avira with a $90 million secured loan and extended the maturity date of our unsecured credit facility to December 31, 2026; Share Buyback and Bond Repurchase Activity: $120 – 140 million to be executed primarily during third and fourth quarters of 2026 based on current sales activity. Annual earnings and FFO per diluted share based on 180.0 million fully diluted weighted average common shares. Except as outlined in our 2026 Business Plan, which can be located on the Investor Relations page of our website, our estimates do not include (1) possible future gains or losses or the impact on operating results from other possible future property acquisitions or dispositions, (2) the impacts of any other capital markets activity, (3) future write-offs or reinstatements of accounts receivable and accrued rent balances, or (4) future impairment charges. EPS estimates may fluctuate based on several factors, including changes in the recognition of depreciation and amortization expense, impairment losses on depreciable real estate, and any gains or losses associated with disposition activity. Management is not able to assess at this time the potential impact of these factors on projected EPS. By definition, FFO does not include real estate-related depreciation and amortization, impairment losses on depreciable real estate, or gains or losses associated with disposition activities or depreciable real estate. For a complete definition of FFO and statements of the reasons why management believes FFO provides useful information to investors, see page 37 in our second quarter Supplemental Information Package. There can be no assurance that our actual results will not differ materially from the estimates set forth above. Our 2026 Business Plan is included in our Supplemental Information Package which can be located on the Investor Relations page of our website.

The Supplemental Information Package is available via our website, www.brandywinerealty.com, through the “Investor Relations” section. Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such as “will,” “strategy,” “expects,” “seeks,” “believes,” “potential,” or other similar words. Because such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and contingencies, actual results may differ materially from the expectations, intentions, beliefs, plans or predictions of the future expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements, including our 2026 Guidance and our 2026 Business Plan and expectations for timing and terms of developments, sales, capital activities, bond repurchases and common share buybacks, are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are difficult to predict and not within our control. Such risks, uncertainties and contingencies include, among others: reduced demand for office space and pricing pressures, including from competitors, changes to tenant work patterns that could limit our ability to lease space or set rents at expected levels or that could lead to declines in rent; uncertainty and volatility in capital and credit markets, including changes that reduce availability, and increase costs, of capital or that delay receipt of future debt financings and refinancings; the effect of inflation and interest rate fluctuations, including on the costs of our planned debt financings and refinancings; the potential loss or bankruptcy of tenants or the inability of tenants to meet their rent and other lease obligations; risks of acquisitions and dispositions, including unexpected liabilities and integration costs; delays in completing, and cost overruns incurred in connection with, our developments and redevelopments; disagreements with joint venture partners; unanticipated operating and capital costs; uninsured casualty losses and our ability to obtain adequate insurance, including coverage for terrorist acts; additional asset impairments; our dependence upon certain geographic markets; changes in governmental regulations, tax laws and rates and similar matters; impacts from changes to U.S. trade and foreign relations policies, including the imposition of tariffs; impacts of a U.S. government shutdown; unexpected costs of REIT qualification compliance; costs and disruptions as the result of a cybersecurity incident or other technology disruption; reliance on key personnel; and failure to maintain an effective system of internal control, including internal control over financial reporting. The declaration and payment of future dividends (both timing and amount) is subject to the determination of our Board of Trustees, in its sole discretion, after considering various factors, including our financial condition, historical and forecast operating results, and available cash flow, as well as any applicable laws and contractual covenants and any other relevant factors. Our Board’s practice regarding declaration of dividends may be modified at any time and from time to time. Additional information on factors which could impact us and the forward-looking statements contained herein are included in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Given the uncertainties, we caution readers not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements that become untrue because of subsequent events except as required by law. Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measures We compute our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Although FFO and NOI are non-GAAP financial measures, we believe that FFO and NOI calculations are helpful to shareholders and potential investors and are widely recognized measures of real estate investment trust performance. At the end of this press release, we have provided a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Funds from Operations (FFO) We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than us. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) before non-controlling interests of common unit holders and excluding gains (losses) on sales of depreciable operating property, impairment losses on depreciable consolidated real estate, impairment losses on investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures and extraordinary items (computed in accordance with GAAP); plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), and after similar adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Net income, the GAAP measure that we believe to be most directly comparable to FFO, includes depreciation and amortization expenses, gains or losses on property sales, extraordinary items and non-controlling interests. To facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as presented in the financial statements included elsewhere in this release. FFO does not represent cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our financial performance or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions to shareholders. We generally consider FFO and FFO per share to be useful measures for understanding and comparing our operating results because, by excluding gains and losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, impairment losses and real estate asset depreciation and amortization (which can differ across owners of similar assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates), FFO and FFO per share can help investors compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate across reporting periods and to the operating performance of other companies. Net Operating Income (NOI) NOI (accrual basis) is a Non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income available to common shareholders, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, plus corporate general and administrative expense, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, non-controlling interest in the Operating Partnership and losses from early extinguishment of debt, less interest income, development and management income, gains from property dispositions, gains on sale from discontinued operations, gains on early extinguishment of debt, income from discontinued operations, income from unconsolidated joint ventures and non-controlling interest in property partnerships. In some cases we also present NOI on a cash basis, which is NOI after eliminating the effects of straight-lining of rent and deferred market intangible amortization. NOI presented by us may not be comparable to NOI reported by other REITs that define NOI differently. NOI should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of the Company's liquidity or its ability to make distributions. We believe NOI is a useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of our properties, as it excludes certain components from net income available to common shareholders in order to provide results that are more closely related to a property's results of operations. We use NOI internally to evaluate the performance of our operating segments and to make decisions about resource allocations. We concluded that NOI provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations, as it reflects only the income and expense items incurred at the property level, as well as the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition and development activity on an unlevered basis. Same Store Properties In our analysis of NOI, particularly to make comparisons of NOI between periods meaningful, it is important to provide information for properties that were in-service and owned by us throughout each period presented. We refer to properties acquired or placed in-service prior to the beginning of the earliest period presented and owned by us through the end of the latest period presented as Same Store Properties. Same Store Properties therefore exclude properties placed in-service, acquired, repositioned, held for sale or in development or redevelopment after the beginning of the earliest period presented or disposed of prior to the end of the latest period presented. Accordingly, it takes at least one year and one quarter after a property is acquired for that property to be included in Same Store Properties. Core Portfolio Our core portfolio is comprised of our wholly owned properties, excluding any properties currently in development, re-development or recently completed, not yet stabilized or held for sale. Speculative Revenue Speculative Revenue represents the amount of rental revenue the company projects to be recorded during the current calendar year from new and renewal leasing activity in its core portfolio that has yet to be executed as of the beginning of the year. This revenue is primarily attributable to the absorption of core portfolio square footage that was either vacant at the beginning of the year or the renewal of existing tenants due to expire during the current year.

Brandywine Realty Trust (NYSE:BDN) achieved 94% of its speculative revenue target at the midpoint of its guidance. The company's first quarter FFO was $0.11 per share, in line with consensus and management guidance. Portfolio recycling and debt reduction program is progressing on schedule with approximately $305 million of potential sales under agreement. The wholly owned core portfolio is 88.3% occupied and 89.9% leased, with expectations of positive net absorption for the first time in several years. Brandywine Realty Trust (NYSE:BDN) has a solid liquidity position with only $65 million outstanding on its line of credit and $36 million of cash on hand. First quarter net loss was $48.9 million or $0.28 per share, impacted by one-time non-cash charges for property impairments. Tenant retention was around 45%, with known move-outs expected throughout the year. Austin market is lagging with only 70% occupancy, causing a 340-basis-point drop in overall company leasing levels. Cash mark-to-market decreased by 2.6%, below annual business ranges. Interest expense increased due to lower interest capitalization from the 3151 project, impacting debt service and interest coverage ratios. Q: Jerry, you talked about the active transaction market and lots of buyer interest in the bidder pool there. How does that inform additional asset sales from here beyond what's currently under contract? A: Gerard Sweeney, President and CEO: The breadth of response from various investor segments was encouraging, ranging from institutional investors to private capital. This positive response suggests a robust market for future asset sales, which will aid in executing our debt reduction and liquidity program. Q: How would you balance additional buybacks versus leverage reductions beyond what's currently contemplated? A: Gerard Sweeney, President and CEO: The primary objective is to improve credit metrics. If sales velocity and pricing are favorable, we may deploy some capital for stock buybacks on a leverage-neutral, earnings-neutral basis. Q: Could you expand on the interest you're seeing for the 902 building in Uptown ATX? Are these mainly new to market tenants or existing tenants? A: Gerard Sweeney, President and CEO: Most prospects are in-market tenants with significant expansion requirements. The response has been positive, and we are prepared to move forward with renovations if substantive results are achieved. Q: How do you feel about the life science leasing market in Philadelphia, given its challenges over the last year? A: Gerard Sweeney, President and CEO: We are seeing positive signs in the life science market with improved capital flow and active dialogues with potential tenants. The tight Class A office market in Philadelphia has also led to increased interest in our properties. Q: Are you able to share the percentage of assets you are looking to sell as core versus non-core within the overall Brandywine portfolio? A: Gerard Sweeney, President and CEO: We have one core asset for sale, with the rest being less-than-core. The sales program was designed to test investor appetite across various asset types to inform future business plan execution.

He added that the company expects occupancy and leasing levels to improve during 2026 and anticipates “positive net absorption for actually the first time in several years.” Leasing activity totaled 422,000 square feet during the quarter, including 268,000 square feet in the wholly owned portfolio and 153,000 square feet in joint ventures. Sweeney said the wholly owned leasing activity was the highest since the fourth quarter of 2024. Tenant retention was “around 45%,” which he said was expected given known move-outs during the year. → Amazon Stock Up 30%: Is AMZN Still a Buy Before Earnings? On pricing metrics, Sweeney reported a 4.1% GAAP mark-to-market for the quarter. Cash mark-to-market was down 2.6%, which he said was below annual business plan ranges, but management expects improvement over the next three quarters and maintained full-year guidance ranges. Same-store performance was 0.8% on a GAAP basis and 3.3% on a cash basis, which Sweeney said were above the company’s guidance ranges. Demand indicators improved, according to management. Sweeney said tours during the first quarter of 2026 exceeded the first quarter of 2025 by 80%. For the trailing four quarters, he said 53% of tours converted to a proposal and 37% of proposals converted to an executed lease. Sweeney pointed to strength in Philadelphia, including the company’s central business district and University City portfolios, which he said were 94% occupied and 96% leased, with only 6% rolling through year-end 2028. He said the Commerce Square joint venture was 93% leased, bringing combined Philadelphia holdings to 95% leased. He also said the company continued to outperform in market share, stating that 41% of all new leases signed in the Philadelphia CBD and University City market during the first quarter were at a Brandywine property. In the Pennsylvania suburbs, Sweeney said the portfolio was “about 90% leased” with “solid levels of pipeline prospects.” By contrast, Austin remained weaker: the Austin portfolio was 70% occupied, which Sweeney said “creates a 340 basis point drop in overall company leasing levels,” though tour volume increased 15% over prior quarters. Sweeney also said Brandywine is monitoring office-to-residential conversions in Philadelphia’s CBD, tracking “more than 5 million square feet, or approximately 11% of the total office inventory” in various stages of conversion, redevelopment, or planning. Management emphasized liquidity and leverage improvement initiatives. Sweeney said the company had $65 million outstanding on its line of credit and $36 million of cash on hand. He said the multi-year plan is designed to return Brandywine to “investment grade metrics,” and management intends to keep minimal balances on the line of credit. Wirth reported first-quarter annualized combined and core net debt-to-EBITDA of 9.1 and 8.3, respectively, and said leverage should decline during the year based on forecasted sales and debt reduction. He also said debt service and interest coverage ratios were “both incrementally below” fourth-quarter results, primarily due to lower interest capitalization from the 3151 project, which increased interest expense. On near-term financing, Sweeney and Wirth outlined plans to address the $178 million consolidated construction loan at 3025 JFK that matures in July 2026. Wirth said the company plans a $100 million seven-year secured financing on the residential portion, fixed at an all-in rate of roughly 5.7%, and to use proceeds from that loan and the unsecured line of credit to “unencumber the office portion.” Sweeney described the refinancing as “approximately $100 million at a rate in the mid-fives.” Wirth also said the company is working with its bank group to amend and extend its unsecured credit facility ahead of its June 2026 maturity date (with extensions through June 2027). Sweeney said the company’s portfolio recycling and debt reduction program was “progressing very much on schedule,” with approximately $305 million of potential sales under agreement and in various stages of due diligence, with pricing “right in line with our guidance.” He and Wirth said the company expects most of these transactions to close in the second quarter, and Wirth noted the midpoint assumption for wholly owned sales is $290 million, weighted toward the first half of the year. Wirth said cap rates were “roughly 8% on a cash and a little above that on a GAAP basis.” Management said proceeds are expected to be used primarily to reduce debt and improve credit metrics, while also allowing for opportunistic share repurchases. Sweeney said the company has about $82 million available under its existing share repurchase program and anticipates the debt reduction program will begin in the second quarter alongside sale proceeds. In response to an analyst question, Sweeney said “the primary objective” remains improving credit metrics, but the company may deploy capital toward buybacks on a “leverage neutral, earnings neutral basis” depending on pricing and progress toward balance sheet targets. On development and leasing initiatives, Sweeney said Brandywine’s operating leasing pipeline increased by 200,000 square feet from last quarter to 1.7 million square feet, including 314,000 square feet in advanced negotiations, though that figure excludes the pipelines for 3151 and One Uptown. 3151 Market: Sweeney said the pipeline is up 200,000 square feet to approximately 1.2 million square feet, split roughly 50% office and 50% life science. He reiterated there are no lease commencements or revenue from 3151 included in the 2026 business plan. Addressing questions about life science, Sweeney said he is seeing “green shoots,” including improved capital flows, and said there has been “no real price resistance” in proposals, despite higher tenant improvement costs. One Uptown: Sweeney said the project is now 63% leased, with a pipeline of more than 230,000 square feet and six proposals totaling just under 100,000 square feet. He said management hopes to close “at least half of those” proposals and highlighted accelerating decision velocity. He also discussed plans to commence redevelopment of an existing Uptown building (902), about 160,000 square feet, with completion targeted in late second quarter or early third quarter of 2027. 250 King of Prussia Road: Wirth said the company will add this 168,000 square foot life science property to the core portfolio in the second quarter, expecting stabilization in June at 100% occupancy. Solaris and One Uptown recapitalizations: Sweeney said the company plans to recapitalize both projects during the second half of 2026, ranging from a complete sale to a pari-passu joint venture with a reduced Brandywine stake. On Solaris, Sweeney said the company accelerated lease-up with concessions that brought first-year rent levels below target, but renewals are running about a 16% uptick and retention has been “fairly positive,” which he said has supported discussions with institutional investors. Wirth said recapitalization of the Austin joint ventures on a pari-passu common equity basis in the second half of 2026 could generate $40 million to $50 million of cash, which would be used to reduce leverage and, he said, should be “slightly accretive to earnings,” though no benefit is included in FFO guidance due to timing and ownership changes. Looking to the second quarter, Wirth guided property-level operating income to about $72.3 million, driven by higher CBD NOI and the stabilization of 250 King of Prussia Road, partially offset by startup costs at The Radnor Hotel project, which he said should open during the quarter.

This guidance is provided for informational purposes and is subject to change. The following is a reconciliation of the calculation of 2026 FFO and earnings per diluted share: Our 2026 FFO key assumptions include: Year-end Core Occupancy Range: 89-90%; Year-end Core Leased Range: 90-91%; Rental Rate Mark-to-Market (accrual): 5-7%; Rental Rate Mark-to-Market (cash): (2)-0%; Same Store (accrual) NOI Range: (1)-1%; Same Store (cash) NOI Range: 0-2%; Speculative Revenue Target: $17.0 - $18.0 million, $16.4 million achieved; Tenant Retention Rate Range: 46-48%; Property Acquisition Activity: None; Property Sales Activity: $280.0 - $300.0 million; Development Starts: Redevelopment of one existing Uptown ATX building in Austin, Texas; Financing Activity: Refinance our $178 million 3025 JFK Construction Loan maturing in July 2026 and extend our unsecured credit facility maturing in June 2026; Share Buyback and Bond Repurchase Activity: Will be based on sales activity above; Annual earnings and FFO per diluted share based on 180.0 million fully diluted weighted average common shares. Except as outlined in our 2026 Business Plan, which can be located on the Investor Relations page of our website, our estimates do not include (1) possible future gains or losses or the impact on operating results from other possible future property acquisitions or dispositions, (2) the impacts of any other capital markets activity, (3) future write-offs or reinstatements of accounts receivable and accrued rent balances, or (4) future impairment charges. EPS estimates may fluctuate based on several factors, including changes in the recognition of depreciation and amortization expense, impairment losses on depreciable real estate, and any gains or losses associated with disposition activity. Management is not able to assess at this time the potential impact of these factors on projected EPS. By definition, FFO does not include real estate-related depreciation and amortization, impairment losses on depreciable real estate, or gains or losses associated with disposition activities or depreciable real estate.

Such risks, uncertainties and contingencies include, among others: reduced demand for office space and pricing pressures, including from competitors, changes to tenant work patterns that could limit our ability to lease space or set rents at expected levels or that could lead to declines in rent; uncertainty and volatility in capital and credit markets, including changes that reduce availability, and increase costs, of capital or that delay receipt of future debt financings and refinancings; the effect of inflation and interest rate fluctuations, including on the costs of our planned debt financings and refinancings; the potential loss or bankruptcy of tenants or the inability of tenants to meet their rent and other lease obligations; risks of acquisitions and dispositions, including unexpected liabilities and integration costs; delays in completing, and cost overruns incurred in connection with, our developments and redevelopments; disagreements with joint venture partners; unanticipated operating and capital costs; uninsured casualty losses and our ability to obtain adequate insurance, including coverage for terrorist acts; additional asset impairments; our dependence upon certain geographic markets; changes in governmental regulations, tax laws and rates and similar matters; impacts from changes to U.S. trade and foreign relations policies, including the imposition of tariffs; impacts of a U.S. government shutdown; unexpected costs of REIT qualification compliance; costs and disruptions as the result of a cybersecurity incident or other technology disruption; reliance on key personnel; and failure to maintain an effective system of internal control, including internal control over financial reporting. The declaration and payment of future dividends (both timing and amount) is subject to the determination of our Board of Trustees, in its sole discretion, after considering various factors, including our financial condition, historical and forecast operating results, and available cash flow, as well as any applicable laws and contractual covenants and any other relevant factors.

We assume no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements that become untrue because of subsequent events except as required by law. Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measures We compute our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Although FFO and NOI are non-GAAP financial measures, we believe that FFO and NOI calculations are helpful to shareholders and potential investors and are widely recognized measures of real estate investment trust performance. At the end of this press release, we have provided a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Funds from Operations (FFO) We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than us. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) before non-controlling interests of common unit holders and excluding gains (losses) on sales of depreciable operating property, impairment losses on depreciable consolidated real estate, impairment losses on investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures and extraordinary items (computed in accordance with GAAP); plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), and after similar adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Net income, the GAAP measure that we believe to be most directly comparable to FFO, includes depreciation and amortization expenses, gains or losses on property sales, extraordinary items and non-controlling interests. To facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as presented in the financial statements included elsewhere in this release. FFO does not represent cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our financial performance or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions to shareholders. We generally consider FFO and FFO per share to be useful measures for understanding and comparing our operating results because, by excluding gains and losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, impairment losses and real estate asset depreciation and amortization (which can differ across owners of similar assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates), FFO and FFO per share can help investors compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate across reporting periods and to the operating performance of other companies. Net Operating Income (NOI) NOI (accrual basis) is a Non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income available to common shareholders, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, plus corporate general and administrative expense, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, non-controlling interest in the Operating Partnership and losses from early extinguishment of debt, less interest income, development and management income, gains from property dispositions, gains on sale from discontinued operations, gains on early extinguishment of debt, income from discontinued operations, income from unconsolidated joint ventures and non-controlling interest in property partnerships. In some cases we also present NOI on a cash basis, which is NOI after eliminating the effects of straight-lining of rent and deferred market intangible amortization. NOI presented by us may not be comparable to NOI reported by other REITs that define NOI differently. NOI should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of the Company's liquidity or its ability to make distributions. We believe NOI is a useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of our properties, as it excludes certain components from net income available to common shareholders in order to provide results that are more closely related to a property's results of operations. We use NOI internally to evaluate the performance of our operating segments and to make decisions about resource allocations. We concluded that NOI provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations, as it reflects only the income and expense items incurred at the property level, as well as the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition and development activity on an unlevered basis. Same Store Properties In our analysis of NOI, particularly to make comparisons of NOI between periods meaningful, it is important to provide information for properties that were in-service and owned by us throughout each period presented. We refer to properties acquired or placed in-service prior to the beginning of the earliest period presented and owned by us through the end of the latest period presented as Same Store Properties. Same Store Properties therefore exclude properties placed in-service, acquired, repositioned, held for sale or in development or redevelopment after the beginning of the earliest period presented or disposed of prior to the end of the latest period presented. Accordingly, it takes at least one year and one quarter after a property is acquired for that property to be included in Same Store Properties. Core Portfolio Our core portfolio is comprised of our wholly owned properties, excluding any properties currently in development, re-development or recently completed, not yet stabilized or held for sale. Speculative Revenue Speculative Revenue represents the amount of rental revenue the company projects to be recorded during the current calendar year from new and renewal leasing activity in its core portfolio that has yet to be executed as of the beginning of the year. This revenue is primarily attributable to the absorption of core portfolio square footage that was either vacant at the beginning of the year or the renewal of existing tenants due to expire during the current year. BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST SAME STORE OPERATIONS – 1st QUARTER (unaudited and in thousands) Of the 64 properties owned by the Company as of March 31, 2026, a total of 59 properties ("Same Store Properties") containing an aggregate of 11.2 million net rentable square feet were owned for the entire three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Brandywine Realty Trust Q1 2026 Earnings Call Summary
Performance was driven by strong market positioning in Philadelphia, where the company captured 41% of all new market leases, more than double its historical market share. The company achieved 94% of its 2026 speculative revenue target early, attributed to the highest level of wholly owned leasing activity since 2024. Management attributes the 80% year-over-year increase in tour volume to improving office market sentiment and a successful pivot toward high-quality trophy assets. Operational focus has shifted toward 'portfolio recycling,' with $305 million in assets currently under agreement to facilitate debt reduction and a return to investment-grade metrics. The Austin portfolio continues to lag company-wide occupancy by 340 basis points, though a 15% increase in tour volume suggests a stabilizing demand environment. Strategic positioning in Philadelphia is being bolstered by the conversion of 11% of total CBD office inventory to residential use, which management expects will tighten office supply. Full-year 2026 FFO guidance is maintained at a $0.55 midpoint, assuming positive net absorption for the first time in several years. The deleveraging framework relies on closing the majority of the $305 million in pending sales during the second quarter to reduce reliance on the unsecured line of credit. Management anticipates a significant improvement in the CAD payout ratio during the second half of 2026 as they fully burn off the remaining tenant improvement costs related to leases signed between 2020 and 2023. Refinancing strategy involves replacing the 3025 JFK construction loan with a lower-priced $100 million secured facility in the mid-5% range to unencumber commercial assets. Future leverage reduction is contingent on the stabilization of the 3151 Market Street project, which currently represents a $250 million investment producing temporary operating losses. First quarter results included $11.9 million, or $0.07 per share, in one-time non-cash property impairment charges. The company acquired its partner's interest in the 3151 project in 2025, which has caused a temporary spike in leverage metrics that management aims to normalize through 2026 sales. Approximately 50% of outstanding bonds carry coupons above 8%, which management views as a strategic opportunity for future interest expense reduction through refinancing.

Our analysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here. Management reported surprisingly robust interest across a broad range of asset types, with typical marketing processes yielding seven to ten qualified bids. Buyer profiles include institutional managers, private equity, and high-net-worth family offices, signaling a recovery in capital sources for the office sector. The absolute priority remains improving credit metrics; however, management intends to use excess sale proceeds for share buybacks on a leverage-neutral basis given current stock valuations. There is approximately $82 million remaining under the existing share repurchase authorization. Management noted 'green shoots' in life science capital flows, though the execution pace for larger institutional requirements remains slow. The company is successfully pivoting some office prospects to look at 3151 Market Street as its overall Philadelphia portfolio reaches 95% leased. Recapitalizations for Solaris and One Uptown are expected in the third quarter, potentially generating $40 million to $50 million in cash to further reduce wholly owned leverage. Solaris is seeing 16% rent increases on renewals, which management believes validates the project's value ahead of the planned recapitalization. One stock.
