"We had another strong quarter driven by the internal growth embedded in our Core Portfolio. This quarter marks the seventh of the last nine quarters with same-store NOI growth at 5% or higher with an average of 6.9% overall for the nine quarters. While there is uncertainty and mixed signals about near-term economic conditions, tenant demand and tenant performance remain robust and consistent with our near-term and long-term growth expectations. We expect our leasing momentum and executed leases to more than offset the near-term asset repositionings that we have been rightly focused on for some time," stated Kenneth F. Bernstein, President and CEO of Acadia Realty Trust. "Additionally, we are starting to see interesting opportunities arise from the dislocation in the capital markets. We continue to be actively engaged with our institutional capital partners and are well-positioned to quickly pursue investments which benefit both Acadia's shareholders and our partners."

CORE PORTFOLIO OPERATING RESULTS

The Company had net earnings per share of $0.09, NAREIT FFO per share of $0.37 and FFO Before Special Items per share of $0.36 for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. Please refer to the Consolidated Financial Results section below for additional details.

CORE PORTFOLIO LEASING UPDATE

Driven by street assets, the overall GAAP and cash leasing spreads were 21.6% and 13.1%, respectively, on 19 conforming new and renewal leases aggregating approximately 234,000 square feet during the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

As of June 30, 2023, the Core Portfolio was 95.2% leased and 92.2% occupied compared to 94.6% leased and 92.8% occupied as of March 31, 2023. The leased rate includes space that is leased but not yet occupied and excludes development and redevelopment properties. The quarterly decline in the occupied leased rate reflects the previously announced recapture of the Bed Bath and Beyond space in Wilmington, Delaware, which has been leased to Dick's Sporting Goods, where they will be expanding and opening a flagship House of Sports. The recaptured and now re-

leased Bed Bath and Beyond space represented approximately 100 bps of occupancy decline sequentially from March 31, 2023 to June 30, 2023.
