Simon® Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Results

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Simon®, a real estate investment trust engaged in the ownership of premier shopping, dining, entertainment and mixed-use destinations, today reported results for the quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2025.

“I am very pleased with our fourth-quarter results, which caps another impressive year of performance for our Company,” said David Simon, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President.  “In 2025, we generated record Real Estate Funds From Operations of $4.8 billion and returned a remarkable $3.5 billion to our shareholders.  We executed over 17 million square feet of leases, opened a new Premium Outlet in Indonesia, completed 23 significant redevelopment projects, and acquired $2 billion of high-quality retail properties.  We remain focused on disciplined, value-creating investment activity and operational excellence that will drive sustainable growth in cash flow, FFO, and dividends per share.”  

Results for the Quarter

Net income attributable to common stockholders was $3.048 billion, or $9.35 per diluted share, as compared to $667.2 million, or $2.04 per diluted share in 2024.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 includes a non-cash gain of $2.89 billion primarily related to our acquisition of the remaining interest in Taubman Realty Group, resulting from the remeasurement of our previously held equity interest to fair value.

Real Estate Funds From Operations (“Real Estate FFO”) was $1.328 billion, or $3.49 per diluted share as compared to $1.261 billion, or $3.35 per diluted share in the prior year, an increase of 4.2%.
Funds From Operations (“FFO”) was $1.242 billion, or $3.27 per diluted share as compared to $1.389 billion, or $3.68 per diluted share in the prior year.

FFO in the fourth quarter of 2025 includes: contribution of $55.5 million, or $0.15 per diluted share from the Company’s Other Platform Investments; a one-time after-tax loss of $120.7 million, or $0.31 per diluted share primarily related to Catalyst Brands restructuring costs and valuation adjustment for certain cost method investments; and a non-cash loss of $21.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share due to an unrealized mark-to-market in fair value adjustment of the Klépierre exchangeable bonds the Company issued in November 2023. 

Domestic property Net Operating Income (“NOI”) increased 4.8% and portfolio NOI increased 5.1% compared to the prior year period. 

Results for the Year

Net income attributable to common stockholders was $4.624 billion, or $14.17 per diluted share, as compared to $2.368 billion, or $7.26 per diluted share in 2024.
Real Estate FFO was $4.812 billion, or $12.73 per diluted share as compared to $4.597 billion, or $12.24 per diluted share in the prior year, an increase of 4.0%.
FFO was $4.663 billion, or $12.34 per diluted share as compared to $4.877 billion, or $12.99 per diluted share in the prior year.
Domestic property NOI increased 4.4% and portfolio NOI increased 4.7% compared to the prior year period. 

U.S. Malls and Premium Outlets Operating Statistics

Occupancy at December 31, 2025 was 96.4%, compared to 96.5% at December 31, 2024.
Base minimum rent per square foot was $60.97 at December 31, 2025, compared to $58.26 at December 31, 2024, an increase of 4.7%. 
Reported retailer sales per square foot was $799 for the trailing 12 months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $739 at December 31, 2024, an increase of 8.1%.

Capital Markets and Balance Sheet LiquidityThe Company was active in both the secured and unsecured credit markets in 2025.

The Company completed a two tranche senior notes offering totaling $1.5 billion, with a weighted-average term of 7.8 years and a coupon rate of 4.775%. In addition, the Company completed 46 secured loan transactions totaling approximately $7.0 billion (U.S. dollar equivalent), with a weighted average interest rate of 5.43%. 

As of December 31, 2025, Simon had approximately $9.1 billion of liquidity consisting of $1.4 billion of cash on hand, including its share of joint venture cash, and $7.7 billion of available capacity under its revolving credit facilities.

Subsequent to year-end, the Company completed an $800 million offering of 5-year, 4.300% senior notes.  The proceeds were used to repay the $800 million outstanding principal amount of its 3.300% notes at maturity on January 15, 2026. 

DividendsToday, Simon’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $2.20 for the first quarter of 2026.  This is an increase of $0.10, or 4.8% year-over-year.  The dividend will be payable on March 31, 2026 to shareholders of record on March 10, 2026.

Supplemental Materials and WebsiteSupplemental information on our fourth quarter 2025 performance is available at investors.simon.com. This information has also been furnished to the SEC in a current report on Form 8-K.

We routinely post important information online on our investor relations website, investors.simon.com. We use this website, press releases, SEC filings, quarterly conference calls, presentations and webcasts to disclose material, non-public information in accordance with Regulation FD. We encourage members of the investment community to monitor these distribution channels for material disclosures.  Any information accessed through our website is not incorporated by reference into, and is not a part of, this document.

Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresThis press release includes FFO, FFO per share, Real Estate FFO, Real Estate FFO per share and domestic and portfolio NOI growth which are financial performance measures not defined by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Real estate FFO is FFO of the operating partnership less other platform investments and loss (gain) due to disposal, exchange, or revaluation of equity interests, in each case, net of tax; and unrealized losses (gains) in fair value of publicly traded equity instruments and derivative instrument, net.  Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in Simon’s supplemental information for the quarter.  FFO and NOI growth are financial performance measures widely used in the REIT industry. Our definitions of these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures reported by other REITs.

Forward-Looking StatementsCertain statements made in this press release may be deemed “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, the Company can give no assurance that its expectations will be attained, and it is possible that the Company’s actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors. Such factors include, but are not limited to: the intensely competitive market environment in the retail real estate industry, the retail industry, including e-commerce; the inability to renew leases and relet vacant space at existing properties on favorable terms; the inability to collect rent due to the bankruptcy or insolvency of tenants or otherwise; the potential loss of anchor stores or major tenants; an increase in vacant space at our properties; the loss of key management personnel; changes in economic and market conditions that may adversely affect the general retail environment, including but not limited to those caused by inflation, the impact of tariffs and global trade disruptions on us to the extent impacting our tenants, recessionary pressures, wars, escalating geopolitical tensions as a result of the war in Ukraine and the conflicts in the Middle East, and supply chain disruptions; the potential for violence, civil unrest, criminal activity or terrorist activities at our properties; the availability of comprehensive insurance coverage; security breaches that could compromise our information technology or infrastructure; changes in market rates of interest; our international activities subjecting us to risks that are different from or greater than those associated with our domestic operations, including changes in foreign exchange rates; the impact of our substantial indebtedness on our future operations, including covenants in the governing agreements that impose restrictions on us that may affect our ability to operate freely; any disruption in the financial markets that may adversely affect our ability to access capital for growth and satisfy our ongoing debt service requirements; any change in our credit rating; our continued ability to maintain our status as a REIT; changes in tax laws or regulations that result in adverse tax consequences; risks associated with the acquisition, development, redevelopment, expansion, leasing and management of properties; the inability to lease newly developed properties on favorable terms; risks relating to our joint venture properties, including guarantees of certain joint venture indebtedness; the effects of climate change; environmental liabilities; natural or other disasters; uncertainties regarding the impact of pandemics, epidemics or public health crises, and the associated governmental restrictions on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and liquidity; and general risks related to real estate investments, including the illiquidity of real estate investments.

The Company discusses these and other risks and uncertainties under the heading “Risk Factors” in its annual and quarterly periodic reports filed with the SEC.  The Company may update that discussion in subsequent other periodic reports, but except as required by law, the Company undertakes no duty or obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise.

Footnotes to Unaudited Financial Information

Notes:  

(A)

Excess investment represents the unamortized difference of our investment over equity in the underlying net assets of the related partnerships and joint ventures shown therein.  The Company generally amortizes excess investment over the life of the related assets.

(B)

The Unaudited Joint Venture Combined Statements of Operations do not include any operations or our share of net income or excess investment amortization related to our investments in Klépierre, our other platform investments and our previously held equity investment in TRG up to the October 31, 2025 transaction.  Amounts included in Footnote D below exclude our share of related activity for our investments in Klépierre, our other platform investments and our previously held equity investment in TRG up to the October 31, 2025 transaction.  For further information on Klépierre, reference should be made to financial information in Klépierre’s public filings and additional discussion and analysis in our Form 10-K.

(C)

This report contains measures of financial or operating performance that are not specifically defined by GAAP, including FFO, FFO per share, Real Estate FFO and Real Estate FFO per share.  FFO is a performance measure that is standard in the REIT business.  We believe FFO provides investors with additional information concerning our operating performance and a basis to compare our performance with those of other REITs.  We also use these measures internally to monitor the operating performance of our portfolio. Our computation of these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures reported by other REITs.

We determine FFO based upon the definition set forth by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) Funds From Operations White Paper – 2018 Restatement. Our main business includes acquiring, owning, operating, developing, and redeveloping real estate in conjunction with the rental of retail real estate.  Gains and losses of assets incidental to our main business are included in FFO.  We determine FFO to be our share of consolidated net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization, excluding gains and losses from extraordinary items, excluding gains and losses from the sale, disposal or property insurance recoveries of, or any impairment related to, depreciable retail operating properties, plus the allocable portion of FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures based upon economic ownership interest, and all determined on a consistent basis in accordance with GAAP. However, you should understand that FFO does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of operating performance, and is not an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

(D)

Includes our share of: 

Gain on land sales of $6.8 million and $6.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $26.5 million and $21.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Straight-line adjustments increased income by $10.3 million and $7.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $32.2 million and $2.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Amortization of fair market value of leases increased income by $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $1.2 million and $0.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
