Financial Results

Net income available to the company’s common shareholders (“Net income”) for the third quarter of 2024 was $128.0 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to $112.0 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2023. This 5.6% increase per diluted share is primarily attributable to:

  • The acquisition of RPT Realty (“RPT”), which was the primary driver of the growth in consolidated revenues from rental properties, net, of $61.1 million, partially offset by higher real estate taxes of $7.1 million and higher operating and maintenance expenses of $12.1 million, as well as increased depreciation and amortization expense of $17.3 million.

  • $13.8 million higher other income, primarily due to an increase in mortgage and other financing income, related to Kimco’s Structured Investment Program and an increase due to mark-to-market fluctuations of embedded derivative liability.
