(NYSE: AHH) today announced its results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and provided an update on current events and earnings guidance. First Quarter and Recent Highlights: Net loss attributable to common stockholders and OP Unit holders of $7.2 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to common stockholders and OP Unit holders of $14.8 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Funds from operations attributable to common stockholders and OP Unit holders ("FFO") of $17.2 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to $35.0 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2024. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures." Normalized funds from operations attributable to common stockholders and OP Unit holders ("Normalized FFO") of $25.6 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared to $29.4 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2024. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures." As of March 31, 2025, weighted average stabilized portfolio occupancy was 95.7%. Retail occupancy was 94.5%, office occupancy was 97.5%, and multifamily occupancy was 95.0%.Positive spreads on renewals across all commercial segments: Retail 11.0% (GAAP) and 7.4% (Cash)Office 23.3% (GAAP) and 3.7% (Cash) Executed 31 commercial lease renewals and 11 new commercial leases during the first quarter for an aggregate of approximately 313,000 of net rentable square feet. "Our portfolio continues to deliver a solid performance, reflecting the strength of our assets and disciplined approach to operations," said Shawn Tibbetts, Chief Executive Officer and President. "We are executing our strategy with focus and agility, ensuring we remain well-positioned to create long-term value in today's dynamic environment." Office Same Store Net Operating Income ("NOI") increased 9.2% on a GAAP basis compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2024.Third-party construction backlog as of March 31, 2025 was $80.4 million and general contracting and real estate services gross profit for the first quarter was $1.4 million. During the first quarter of 2024, unrealized gains on non-designated interest rate derivatives that positively affected FFO were $5.6 million. As of March 31, 2025, the value of the Company’s entire interest rate derivative portfolio, net of unrealized gains, was $13.1 million. These losses are excluded from Normalized FFO.In January, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional of $150.0 million and a SOFR rate of 2.50%. The Company paid a $4.6 million premium for this transaction. Financial Results Net loss attributable to common stockholders and OP Unit holders for the first quarter was $7.2 million compared to net income attributable to common stockholders and OP Unit holders of $14.8 million for the first quarter of 2024. The period-over-period change was primarily due to a decrease in the fair value of undesignated interest rate swap derivatives, a decrease in general contracting and real estate services gross profit, and the recognition of equity in loss of unconsolidated real estate entities, partially offset by an increase in portfolio NOI recognized during the quarter. FFO attributable to common stockholders and OP Unit holders for the first quarter was $17.2 million compared to $35.0 million for the first quarter of 2024. The year-over-year decrease in FFO was primarily due to a decrease in the fair value of undesignated interest rate swap derivatives, a decrease in general contracting and real estate services gross profit, and the recognition of equity in loss of unconsolidated real estate entities, partially offset by an increase in portfolio NOI recognized during the quarter. Normalized FFO attributable to common stockholders and OP Unit holders for the first quarter decreased to $25.6 million compared to $29.4 million for the first quarter of 2024. The year-over-year decrease in Normalized FFO was primarily due to the decrease in general contracting and real estate services gross profit and the recognition of equity in loss of unconsolidated real estate entities, partially offset by an increase in portfolio NOI recognized during the quarter. Operating Performance At the end of the first quarter, the Company’s retail, office, and multifamily stabilized operating property portfolios were 94.5%, 97.5%, and 95.0% occupied, respectively. Total third party construction contract backlog was $80.4 million as of March 31, 2025. Interest income from real estate financing investments was $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Balance Sheet and Financing Activity As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $1.3 billion of total debt outstanding, including $166.0 million outstanding under its revolving credit facility. Total debt outstanding excludes GAAP adjustments and deferred financing costs. As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s debt was 100% fixed or economically hedged after considering interest rate swaps. Outlook The Company maintained its 2025 full-year Normalized FFO guidance at the Company's previous guidance range of $1.00 to $1.10 per diluted share. The following table updates the Company's assumptions underpinning its full year guidance. The Company's executive management will provide further details regarding its 2025 earnings guidance during tomorrow's webcast and conference call.

See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures." The Company does not provide a reconciliation for its guidance range of Normalized FFO per diluted share to net income per diluted share, the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure, because it is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate estimate of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort as a result of the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and/or amounts of various items that would impact net income per diluted share. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information and believes that providing a reconciliation for its guidance range of Normalized FFO per diluted share would imply a degree of precision for its forward-looking net income per diluted share that could be misleading to investors.[2] Includes the following assumptions: Harbor Point T. Rowe Price and Allied delivered in Q1 2025Construction gross profit decline due to lower backlogChandler Residences stabilized in Q2 2025 [3] Includes the interest expense on finance leases and interest receipts of non-designated derivatives.

The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statement contained herein, to reflect any change in the Company's expectations with regard thereto, or any other change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law. Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit"). Nareit defines FFO as net income (loss) (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains or losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control, and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. The Company uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because it believes that FFO is beneficial to investors as a starting point in measuring the Company’s operational performance. Specifically, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions, which do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared period-over-period, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare the Company’s operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of the Company’s properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of the Company’s properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact the Company’s results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of the Company’s performance is limited. In addition, other equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the Nareit definition as the Company does, and, accordingly, the Company’s FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of the Company’s performance. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or service indebtedness. Also, FFO should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP. Management also believes that the computation of FFO in accordance with Nareit’s definition includes certain items that are not indicative of the results provided by the Company’s operating property portfolio and affect the comparability of the Company’s period-over-period performance. Accordingly, management believes that Normalized FFO is a more useful performance measure that excludes certain items, including but not limited to, debt extinguishment losses and prepayment penalties, impairment and accelerated amortization of intangible assets and liabilities, property acquisition, development, and other pursuit costs, mark-to-market adjustments for interest rate derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges, amortization of payments made to purchase interest rate caps and swaps designated as cash flow hedges, provision for unrealized non-cash credit losses, amortization of right-of-use assets attributable to finance leases, severance related costs, and other non-comparable items. Other equity REITs may not calculate Normalized FFO in the same manner as we do, and, accordingly, our Normalized FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs' Normalized FFO. NOI is the measure used by the Company’s chief operating decision-maker to assess segment performance. The Company calculates NOI as segment revenues less segment expenses. Segment revenues include rental revenues (base rent, expense reimbursements, termination fees, and other revenue) for our property segments, general contracting and real estate services revenues for our general contracting and real estate services segment, and interest income for our real estate financing segment. Segment expenses include rental expenses and real estate taxes for our property segments, general contracting and real estate services expenses for our general contracting and real estate services segment, and interest expense for our real estate financing segment. Segment NOI for the general contracting and real estate services and real estate financing segments is also referred to as segment gross profit. NOI is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured in accordance with GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. As a result, NOI should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate NOI in the same manner. The Company considers NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of the Company’s real estate and construction businesses. To calculate NOI on a cash basis, we adjust NOI to exclude the net effects of straight line rent and the amortization of lease incentives and above/below market rents. For reference, as an aid in understanding the Company’s computation of NOI, NOI Cash Basis, FFO and Normalized FFO, a reconciliation of net income calculated in accordance with GAAP to NOI, NOI Cash Basis, FFO, and Normalized FFO has been included further in this release.
