Kilroy Realty (KRC) came out with quarterly funds from operations (FFO) of $1.09 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1 per share. This compares to FFO of $1.17 per share a year ago.
Kilroy Realty's Q2 results beat expectations, aided by one-time items and improved leasing, but fundamental occupancy and rent growth remain weak. Portfolio sales provide capital flexibility, but high debt and rising refinancing costs continue to pressure long-term cash flow and valuation. Guidance appears higher, but is flattered by nonrecurring benefits; underlying fundamentals suggest ongoing gradual declines in occupancy and FFO.
