About Phillips Edison & Company, Inc.
About Phillips Edison & Company, Inc.
Phillips Edison & Company's managed portfolio of 297 wholly-owned grocery-anchored neighborhood shopping centers and interests in three unconsolidated joint ventures encompassed approximately 36.7 million square feet in 31 states at December 31, 2025, with the wholly-owned portfolio 97.3% leased. Grocery anchors ranking #1 or #2 by sales in their respective trade areas generated 83.3% of annualized base rent; approximately 70% of ABR derived from necessity-based goods and services tenants.
PECO generates revenue through leases with a diverse mix of national, regional, and local tenants it refers to as "Neighbors," targeting small-format centers averaging 112,000 square feet where retailer demand concentrates in inline spaces under 10,000 square feet of GLA. For the year ended December 31, 2025, combined comparable rent spreads of 23.3% — 30.9% on new leases and 20.7% on renewals — reflect below-market rent recapture as leases expire. The balance sheet carries $2.4 billion in total debt ($2.0 billion unsecured, $0.4 billion secured), supported by investment-grade ratings of Baa2 (Moody's, Stable) and BBB (S&P, Stable) and $925.1 million in total liquidity at year-end, including $881.8 million available on a $1 billion revolving credit facility.

Geographic concentration represents a distinct risk: Florida and California accounted for 12.3% and 10.5%, respectively, of PECO's ABR in 2025 (including joint venture properties), making them the two largest state exposures in the 31-state portfolio. The 10-K explicitly identifies these states as concentration risks subject to local economic conditions, oversupply, insurance costs, and weather events. While neither state alone exceeds 25% of ABR, their combined approximately 22.8% share means a sustained market dislocation in either could weigh on consolidated NOI and occupancy rates.
