Acquired two neighborhood centers – Founders Square in Naples, FL and Chastain Market, a Trader Joe’s anchored center in Atlanta, GA – for $136.0 million through Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 tax-deferred exchanges.
Commenced development of a second phase of luxury multifamily units at One Loudoun (Washington, D.C. MSA) within the existing residential joint venture. The 429-unit development is currently expected to cost approximately $175.1 million, begin delivering units in 2029, and will be partially financed by a new $107.5 million construction loan. KRG’s equity in the project has been funded via a contribution of entitled land and its equity in the existing 378-unit multifamily asset. As of June 30, 2026, KRG owns 76.7% of the joint venture, and its ownership percentage is expected to be reduced to 55% over time as equity for the new development is required to be contributed by the joint venture partner.

Repurchased approximately 2.8 million common shares, at an average price of $27.48 per share, for $75.7 million, of which $30.0 million was settled subsequent to quarter end in connection with the closing of the $345 million of 3.25% exchangeable senior notes due 2032 offering.
- In 2025 and to date in 2026, repurchased a total of approximately 19.6 million common shares, at an average price of approximately $24.20 per share, for $475.7 million.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s net debt to Adjusted EBITDA was 5.1x.
On June 29, 2026, the Company’s operating partnership priced $345 million of 3.25% exchangeable senior notes due 2032 (the notes were issued on July 2, 2026), which included the full exercise of the initial purchasers’ $45 million overallotment option.
- In connection with the issuance of the exchangeable notes, the Company entered into capped call transactions that effectively raised the conversion price of the exchangeable notes from approximately $35.40 to $41.91 per share. The Company will use the majority of the proceeds, together with cash from its recent asset dispositions, to repay or redeem the operating partnership’s $300 million of 4.00% senior unsecured notes due October 2026.

⁽¹⁾		"NAREIT FFO of the Operating Partnership" measures 100% of the operating performance of the Operating Partnership’s real estate properties. "FFO attributable to common shareholders" reflects a reduction for the redeemable noncontrolling weighted average diluted interest in the Operating Partnership.
⁽²⁾		Includes the Company’s pro rata share from unconsolidated joint ventures.

NAREIT Funds From Operations ("FFO") is a widely used performance measure for real estate companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure of our operating performance. The Company calculates FFO, a non-GAAP financial measure, in accordance with the best practices described in the April 2002 National Policy Bulletin of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), as restated in 2018. The NAREIT white paper defines FFO as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding (i) depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (ii) gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, (iii) gains and losses from change in control, and (iv) impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity.

Considering the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, the Company believes that FFO is helpful to investors in measuring our operational performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as gains or losses from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. FFO (a) should not be considered as an alternative to net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) for the purpose of measuring our financial performance, (b) is not an alternative to cash flows from operating activities (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, and (c) is not indicative of funds available to satisfy our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. The Company’s computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

From time to time, the Company may report or provide guidance with respect to "FFO, as adjusted," which removes the impact of certain non-recurring and non-operating transactions or other items the Company does not consider to be representative of its core operating results, including, without limitation, (i) gains or losses associated with the early extinguishment of debt, (ii) gains or losses associated with litigation involving the Company that is not in the normal course of business, (iii) merger and acquisition costs, (iv) the impact on earnings from significant and non-recurring employee severance costs and recruiting expenses, including sign-on bonuses and search fees, (v) the excess of redemption value over carrying value of preferred stock redemption, and (vi) the impact of prior period bad debt or the collection of accounts receivable previously written off ("prior period collection impact"), which are not otherwise adjusted in the Company’s calculation of FFO.

Core Funds From Operations ("Core FFO") is a non-GAAP financial measure of operating performance that modifies FFO for certain non-cash transactions that result in recording income or expense and impact the Company’s period-over-period performance, including (i) amortization of deferred financing costs, (ii) non-cash compensation expense and other, (iii) straight-line rent related to minimum rent and common area maintenance, (iv) market rent amortization income, and (v) amortization of debt discounts, premiums and hedge instruments, and includes adjustments related to our pro rata share from unconsolidated joint ventures for these categories as applicable. The Company believes that Core FFO is useful to investors in evaluating the core cash flow-generating operations of the Company by adjusting for items that we do not consider to be part of our core business operations, allowing for comparison of core operating performance of the Company between periods. Core FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company’s performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity or the Company’s ability to make distributions. The Company’s computation of Core FFO may differ from the methodology for calculating Core FFO used by other REITs and, therefore, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

⁽¹⁾		Same Property NOI excludes the following: (i) Chastain Market and Founders Square, which were acquired in May 2026, and Village Commons and Legacy West, which were acquired in January and April 2025, respectively; (ii) The Corner – IN, which was reclassified from active development into our operating portfolio in March 2025; (iii) Eastgate Crossing, which was reclassified from our operating portfolio in September 2025 due to significant disruption caused by severe flooding as a result of Tropical Storm Chantal; (iv) our active development projects at One Loudoun; (v) Hamilton Crossing Centre and Edwards Multiplex – Ontario, which were reclassified from our operating portfolio into redevelopment in June 2014 and March 2023, respectively; (vi) properties sold or classified as held for sale during 2025 and 2026; and (vii) standalone office properties, including the Carillon medical office building.
⁽²⁾		Excludes leases that are signed but for which tenants have not yet commenced the payment of cash rent. Calculated as a weighted average based on the timing of cash rent commencement and expiration during the period.
⁽³⁾		Same Property NOI for all periods presented includes (i) 52% of the NOI from three previously wholly owned properties that were contributed to the Seed Asset Joint Venture in June 2025 and (ii) 55% of the NOI from the One Loudoun Phase 1 Apartments (which 55% represents the Company’s expected final ownership percentage) and excludes the results of the Company’s insurance captive.
⁽⁴⁾		Includes non-cash activity as well as NOI from properties not included in the Same Property Pool.

The Company uses NOI, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the performance of our properties. The Company also uses total property NOI, which is defined as NOI plus net gains from outlot sales. The Company defines NOI as income from our real estate, including lease termination fees received from tenants, less our property operating expenses. NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions and certain corporate-level expenses, including merger and acquisition costs. The Company believes that NOI is helpful to investors as a measure of our operating performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and impairment, if any.

The Company also uses same property NOI ("Same Property NOI"), a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the performance of our properties. Same Property NOI is net income excluding properties that have not been owned for the full periods presented. Beginning in 2026, the Company revised its Same Property NOI definition to exclude the results of the Company’s insurance captive to more clearly reflect the performance of our core real estate portfolio. Same Property NOI also excludes (i) net gains from outlot sales, (ii) straight-line rent revenue, (iii) lease termination income in excess of lost rent, (iv) amortization of lease intangibles, (v) significant prior period expense recoveries and adjustments, if any, and (vi) income or expense associated with the Company’s captive insurance company. When the Company receives payments in excess of any accounts receivable for terminating a lease, Same Property NOI will include such excess payments as monthly rent until the earlier of the expiration of 12 months or the start date of a replacement tenant.

The Company believes that Same Property NOI is helpful to investors as a measure of our operating performance because it includes only the NOI of properties that have been owned for the full periods presented. The Company believes such presentation eliminates disparities in net income due to the acquisition or disposition of properties during the particular periods presented and thus provides a more consistent metric for the comparison of our properties. Additionally, because results from the Company’s insurance captive are driven by insurance underwriting, loss experience, and actuarial assumptions and therefore do not reflect the operating performance of our real estate properties, management believes excluding the impacts of the insurance captive improves transparency and comparability for the Company’s investors. Same Property NOI includes the results of properties that have been owned for the entire current and prior year reporting periods. Same Property NOI for all periods presented includes (i) 52% of the NOI from three previously wholly owned properties that were contributed to the Seed Asset Joint Venture in June 2025 and (ii) 55% of the NOI from the One Loudoun Phase 1 Apartments (which 55% represents the Company’s expected final ownership percentage) and excludes the results of the Company’s insurance captive.

NOI and Same Property NOI should not, however, be considered as an alternative to net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance. The Company’s computation of NOI and Same Property NOI may differ from the methodology used by other REITs and, therefore, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

When evaluating the properties that are included in the Same Property Pool, we have established specific criteria for determining the inclusion of properties acquired or those recently under development. An acquired property is included in the Same Property Pool when there is a full quarter of operations in both years subsequent to the acquisition date. Development and redevelopment properties are included in the Same Property Pool four full quarters after the properties have been transferred to the operating portfolio. A redevelopment property is first excluded from the Same Property Pool when the execution of a redevelopment plan is likely, and we (a) begin recapturing space from tenants or (b) the contemplated plan significantly impacts the operations of the property. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Same Property Pool excludes the following: (i) Chastain Market and Founders Square, which were acquired in May 2026, and Village Commons and Legacy West, which were acquired in January and April 2025, respectively; (ii) The Corner – IN, which was reclassified from active development into our operating portfolio in March 2025; (iii) Eastgate Crossing, which was reclassified from our operating portfolio in September 2025 due to significant disruption caused by severe flooding as a result of Tropical Storm Chantal; (iv) our active development projects at One Loudoun; (v) Hamilton Crossing Centre and Edwards Multiplex – Ontario, which were reclassified from our operating portfolio into redevelopment in June 2014 and March 2023, respectively; (vi) properties sold or classified as held for sale during 2025 and 2026; and (vii) standalone office properties, including the Carillon medical office building.

Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA	5.1x

⁽¹⁾		Relates to current quarter GAAP operating income for the acquisitions of Chastain Market and Founders Square and the sale of seven properties during the three months ended June 30, 2026 during the period of ownership.
⁽²⁾		Represents Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2026 (as shown in the table above) multiplied by four.
⁽³⁾		Partner share of consolidated joint venture debt is calculated based upon the partner’s pro rata ownership of the joint venture, multiplied by the related secured debt balance.

The Company defines EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income before interest expense, income tax expense of the taxable REIT subsidiaries, and depreciation and amortization. For informational purposes, the Company also provides Adjusted EBITDA, which it defines as EBITDA less (i) EBITDA from unconsolidated entities, as adjusted, (ii) gains on sales of operating properties or impairment charges, (iii) merger and acquisition costs, (iv) other income and expense, (v) noncontrolling interest Adjusted EBITDA, and (vi) other non-recurring activity or items impacting comparability from period to period. Annualized Adjusted EBITDA is Adjusted EBITDA for the most recent quarter multiplied by four. Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA is the Company’s share of net debt divided by Annualized Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Annualized Adjusted EBITDA, and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated by the Company, are not comparable to EBITDA and EBITDA-related measures reported by other REITs that do not define EBITDA and EBITDA-related measures exactly as we do. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Annualized Adjusted EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income as an indicator of performance or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as an indicator of liquidity.

Considering the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, the Company believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and the ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA are helpful to investors in measuring our operational performance because they exclude various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as gains or losses from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. For informational purposes, the Company also provides Annualized Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted as described above. The Company believes this supplemental information provides a meaningful measure of its operating performance. The Company believes presenting EBITDA and the related measures in this manner allows investors and other interested parties to form a more meaningful assessment of the Company’s operating results.
