FFO turns to a loss even as accounting profit stays high

• For a REIT, Funds From Operations is key, and SITE Centers reported FFO of a loss of US$26.6 million in Q4 2025, compared with positive FFO of US$16.0 million in Q1 and US$6.9 million in Q2, while trailing 12 month FFO earlier in the year reached US$79.4 million in Q4 2024.
• Bearish commentary focusing on portfolio reshaping and asset sales finds support here, as:
  • Q4 2025 revenue of US$20.9 million is well below the US$42.7 million in Q1 2025 and US$61.3 million in Q3 2024, which fits with the idea that large property disposals are shrinking the income base.
  • Analysts project revenue to fall around 15.4% per year over the next three years, and forecast earnings to decline sharply as well, which lines up with concerns that selling income producing assets could weigh on future FFO and net operating income.

Accounting earnings stay high but include a lot of non cash items

• Over the last 12 months, SITE Centers reported net income excluding extra items of US$177.9 million on revenue of US$123.6 million, alongside a trailing EPS of US$3.36, while analysis flags that these earnings contain a high level of non cash components and thinner net profit margins than a year ago.
• Consensus narrative around the spin off and heavy transaction activity meets a mixed datapoint here, because:
  • Disposals totaling over US$951 million of wholly owned properties and more than US$1.0b of assets under contract or negotiation help explain why accounting profit can look strong at the same time as FFO weakens and revenue trends lower.
  • Analysts expect profit margins to move from around 159.9% today to 4.4% in three years, which challenges any bullish assumption that recent high EPS levels alone represent a steady run rate of cash earnings.

Low P/E of 1.8x versus peers despite DCF fair value below price

• On valuation, SITE Centers is trading on a trailing P/E of 1.8x compared with 27.8x for the US Retail REIT industry and 49.4x for peers, while a DCF fair value of about US$0.97 sits below the current share price of US$6.16.
• Bullish investors who focus on portfolio repositioning get a mixed signal here, since:
  • Analysts assume earnings will move from about US$722.3 million today to US$8.2 million by 2027 with EPS of US$0.20, and still use an analyst price target of US$9.83, which implies a very high future P/E multiple to justify that level.
  • The same forecasts call for revenue to settle at US$187.2 million by 2027 and for earnings to decline at a very large rate each year, which contrasts with the view that the current low P/E alone offers straightforward value without factoring in the projected earnings drop and the DCF fair value being below the market price.

If you are weighing that low 1.8x P/E against the projected drop in earnings, it is worth seeing how bullish investors stitch those pieces together into a full thesis for SITE Centers. 🐂 SITE Centers Bull Case
