BETHESDA, Md., Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Saul Centers, Inc. (NYSE: BFS) (the "Company"), an equity real estate investment trust ("REIT"), announced operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 ("2026 Quarter"). Total revenue for the 2026 Quarter increased to $76.8 million from $70.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 ("2025 Quarter"). Net income decreased to $11.5 million for the 2026 Quarter from $14.2 million for the 2025 Quarter. During the 2026 Quarter, the Company continued to lease residential units at Hampden House. As of August 3, 2026, 235 of the 366 (64.2%) residential units were leased and occupied and 8,600 square feet of the 10,100 (85.1%) square feet of retail space is leased and occupied.

Concurrent with the opening of Hampden House on October 1, 2025, interest, real estate taxes, depreciation and all other costs associated with the residential portion and the majority of the retail portion of the property began to be charged to expense, while revenue continues to grow as occupancy increases. As a result, compared to the 2025 Quarter, net income for the 2026 Quarter was adversely impacted by $4.0 million due to the initial operations of Hampden House, of which $2.9 million is related to interest expense, net and amortization of deferred debt costs. Exclusive of Hampden House, net income increased by $1.3 million primarily due to (a) higher residential base rent of $1.4 million and (b) higher commercial base rent of $1.2 million partially offset by (c) higher general and administrative costs of $0.4 million, (d) higher interest expense, net and amortization of deferred debt costs of $0.3 million and (e) higher depreciation and amortization of deferred leasing costs of $0.3 million. Net income available to common stockholders decreased to $6.0 million, or $0.24 per basic and diluted share, for the 2026 Quarter from $7.9 million, or $0.33 per basic and diluted share, for the 2025 Quarter. Compared to the 2025 Quarter, net income available to common stockholders for the 2026 Quarter was adversely impacted by $1.9 million, or $0.08 per basic and diluted share, due to the initial operations of Hampden House.
