Financial Results

A complete reconciliation, in dollars and per share amounts, of (i) net earnings attributable to Acadia to Funds From Operations ("FFO") (as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") and As Adjusted) attributable to common shareholders and Common OP Unit holders and (ii) operating income to net operating income ("NOI") and definitions of non-GAAP metrics are included in the financial tables of this release. The amounts discussed below are net of noncontrolling interests (except for the Common OP Unit holders) and all per share amounts are on a fully-diluted basis.

Net Income

• Net income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.22. This compares with net income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 of $0.01. The increase for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2025, was primarily a result of gains on sale of $0.22 per share in 2026, and the loss on change in control related to the Company's additional investment in its Georgetown Renaissance portfolio of $0.08 per share in 2025.
• Offsetting these items, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company incurred charges of approximately $5 million, or $0.04 per share, to net income and NAREIT FFO, primarily comprised of retirement-driven, non-cash acceleration of unvested stock-based compensation awards (approximately $4.1 million included in general and administrative expenses), an unrealized loss on an investment (approximately $600,000) and non-capitalizable transaction costs (approximately $300,000, included in general and administrative expenses).

NAREIT FFO

• NAREIT Funds From Operations ("NAREIT FFO") for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $36.9 million, or $0.26 per share, as compared to $44.6 million, or $0.34 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

FFO As Adjusted

• FFO As Adjusted for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $41.8 million, or $0.30 per share, as compared to $35.1 million, or $0.27 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

REIT Portfolio Same-Property NOI

• Same-Property NOI grew 5.9%, for the first quarter, primarily driven by 7.0% growth from the street and urban retail portfolio. These amounts exclude developments and redevelopments.

REIT Portfolio Occupancy and Leasing Update

• As of March 31, 2026, economic occupancy and leased occupancy increased 20 and 60 basis points to 94.1% and 95.3%, respectively, compared to 93.9% and 94.7% as of December 31, 2025.

• Strategic Add-on Acquisitions (Washington D.C. and Armitage Avenue Chicago): In the first quarter, the Company added approximately $14 million of new acquisitions to further increase its scale in two of its key corridors.

Investment Management Platform Acquisition

• Queens, New York.

Acadia Realty Trust and Subsidiaries

Notes to Financial Highlights:

1. For additional information and analysis concerning the Company's balance sheet and results of operations, reference is made to the Company's quarterly supplemental disclosures for the relevant periods furnished on the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and on the Company's website at www.acadiarealty.com.
2. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares of the Company were exercised or converted into common shares. The effect of the conversion of units of limited partnership interest ("OP Units") in Acadia Realty Limited Partnership, the operating partnership of the Company (the "Operating Partnership"), is not reflected in the above table; OP Units are exchangeable into common shares on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such OP units is allocated on the same basis and reflected as noncontrolling interests in the consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these OP Units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share.
3. The Company considers funds from operations ("FFO") as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") and net property operating income ("NOI") to be appropriate supplemental disclosures of operating performance for an equity REIT due to their widespread acceptance and use within the REIT and analyst communities. In addition, the Company believes that given the atypical nature of certain unusual items (as further described below), "FFO As Adjusted" is also an appropriate supplemental disclosure of operating performance. FFO, FFO As Adjusted and NOI are presented to assist investors in analyzing the performance of the Company. The Company believes they are helpful as they exclude various items included in net income (loss) that are not indicative of operating performance, such as (i) gains (losses) from sales of real estate properties; (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) impairment of depreciable real estate assets related to the Company's main business and land held for the development of property, and (iv) items that management believes are not reflective of ongoing core operating results, including non-comparable revenues, expenses, gains, and losses. While these adjustments may be subject to fluctuations from period to period, with both positive and negative short-term impacts, management believes that the removal of the impacts of these items enhances our understanding of the operating performance of our properties. The Company believes that introducing a new supplemental measure beginning with fiscal year 2026 is useful for evaluating operating performance and comparing historical financial periods. The Company's method of calculating FFO, FFO As Adjusted and NOI may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Neither FFO nor FFO As Adjusted represent cash generated from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), nor are indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. Such measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) for the purpose of evaluating the Company's performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
   1. Consistent with the NAREIT definition, the Company defines FFO As net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding:
      1. gains (losses) from sales of real estate properties;
      2. depreciation and amortization;
      3. impairment of real estate assets related to the Company's main business and land held for the development of property for its operating portfolio;
      4. gains and losses from change in control; and
      5. after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
   2. Also consistent with NAREIT's definition of FFO, the Company has elected to include: the impact of the unrealized holding gains (losses) incidental to its main business, including those related to its investments in Albertsons in FFO.
   3. FFO As Adjusted (new metric starting in 2026) begins with the NAREIT definition of FFO and adjusts FFO (or as an adjustment to the numerator within its earnings per share calculations) to take into account FFO without regard to certain unusual items including charges, income and gains that management believes are not comparable and indicative of the results of the Company's operating real estate portfolio.
4. The pro-rata share of NOI is based upon the Operating Partnership's stated ownership percentages in each venture's operating agreement and does not include the Operating Partnership's share of NOI from unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures within Investment Management.
