About this update from Site Centers Corp.

BEACHWOOD, Ohio, February 27, 2025 --( BUSINESS WIRE )--SITE Centers Corp. (NYSE: SITC), an owner of open-air shopping centers located primarily in suburban, high household income communities, announced today operating results for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. "SITE Centers furthered the Company’s goal of recognizing value for stakeholders in the fourth quarter by continuing the simplification of its capital structure through the redemption of the remaining $175 million of outstanding preferred shares. The Company’s commenced rate increased through new tenant store openings in an environment of strong leasing demand, and we intend to capitalize where we view strong private market interest in purchasing high quality assets by marketing a subset of shopping centers for sale," commented David R. Lukes, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Going forward, SITE Centers intends to maximize value through continued leasing, asset management and potential additional asset sales."

Supplemental Information Copies of the Company's quarterly financial supplement are available on the Investor Relations portion of the Company's website, ir.sitecenters.com . Non-GAAP Measures and Other Operational Metrics Funds from Operations ("FFO") is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used as a standard in the real estate industry and is a widely accepted measure of real estate investment trust ("REIT") performance. Management believes that both FFO and Operating FFO provide additional indicators of the financial performance of a REIT. The Company also believes that FFO and Operating FFO more appropriately measure the core operations of the Company and provide benchmarks to its peer group. FFO is generally defined and calculated by the Company as net income(loss) (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP")), adjusted to exclude (i) preferred share dividends, (ii) gains and losses from disposition of real estate property and related investments, which are presented net of taxes, (iii) impairment charges on real estate property and related investments, (iv) gains and losses from changes in control and (v) certain non-cash items. These non-cash items principally include real property depreciation and amortization of intangibles, equity income (loss) from joint ventures and equity income from non-controlling interests and adding the Company’s proportionate share of FFO from its unconsolidated joint ventures and non-controlling interests, determined on a consistent basis. The Company’s calculation of FFO is consistent with the definition of FFO provided by NAREIT. The Company calculates Operating FFO as FFO excluding certain non-operating charges, income and gains/losses. Operating FFO is useful to investors as the Company removes non-comparable charges, income and gains/losses to analyze the results of its operations and assess performance of the core operating real estate portfolio. Other real estate companies may calculate FFO and Operating FFO in a different manner. The Company also uses NOI, a non-GAAP financial measure, as a supplemental performance measure. NOI is calculated as property revenues less property-related expenses. The Company believes NOI provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level and, when compared across periods, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition and disposition activity on an unleveraged basis. FFO, Operating FFO and NOI do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as alternatives to net income computed in accordance with GAAP, as indicators of the Company’s operating performance or as alternatives to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures have been provided herein.
