Earnings call takeaways

See our KRC 2Q26 First Take for details on the quarter. Here we highlight key

takeaways from the July 28 earnings call:

n Guidance: management affirmed the prior FFO/share range of $3.49–$3.63 and

SS NOI growth of 25–125bps, where reaching the high end of guidance largely

hinges on accelerating rent commencements (primarily a non-cash GAAP effect)

and 2H26 capital recycling assumptions. Management flagged a difficult 3Q y/y

comparison due to $4mn (~230bps) of restoration fees and net real estate tax

refund benefits recognized in 3Q25.
