“We posted a strong quarter of growth, highlighted by 17.6% year over year increase in our Funds from Operations as Adjusted per share,” said H.

Further, our same-store operating margins were 67.3% this quarter, up 150 basis points year over year. These improvements in our core operations led us to increase our 2026 same store NOI guidance and FFOa per share guidance.”
