Kilroy Realty Corporation reported first‑quarter 2026 results that included a net loss of $19.3 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Revenue reached $270.1 million, matching analyst expectations, while funds from operations (FFO) climbed to $108.8 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, beating the consensus estimate of $0.88 per share.
The GAAP net loss was driven by a $61.8 million non‑cash impairment charge related to two residential towers held for sale. In contrast, the FFO beat expectations by $0.03 per share, largely because disciplined cost management kept operating expenses in check while leasing activity remained robust.
Leasing activity for the quarter totaled 568,000 sq ft of new and renewal leases, the strongest first‑quarter performance since 2017. Demand was strongest in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles, reinforcing Kilroy’s focus on high‑barrier markets and positioning the company for a shift toward higher‑yield life‑science and premium office assets.
Kilroy completed the sale of $350 million in non‑core properties, including residential towers in Hollywood for $202.0 million and office properties in San Diego for $21.0 million. The proceeds support the company’s capital‑recycling strategy and fund debt repayment, share repurchases, and development projects.
The company raised its full‑year 2026 FFO guidance to $3.49 to $3.63 per share, up from the prior $3.25 to $3.45 range. The increase reflects $5.9 million in settlement income received in Q2 2026, lower interest expenses, and the expected impact of ongoing development projects such as Kilroy Oyster Point Phase 2 and Flower Mart.
"Angela Aman, CEO, expressed pleasure with the 'remarkably strong quarter of execution across all facets of our business.'" The guidance lift signals management’s confidence in sustained leasing momentum, effective cost control, and the continued execution of its capital‑allocation strategy.
