Overview
SL Green Realty Corp., which is referred to as SL Green or the Company, a Maryland corporation, and SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P., which is referred to as SLGOP or the Operating Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, were formed in June 1997 for the purpose of combining the commercial real estate business of S.L. Green Properties, Inc. and its affiliated partnerships and entities. The Company is a self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, engaged in the ownership, management, operation, acquisition, development, redevelopment, repositioning and financing of commercial real estate properties, principally office properties, located in the New York metropolitan area, principally Manhattan. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to "we," "our" and "us" means the Company and all entities owned or controlled by the Company, including the Operating Partnership.

(1) The weighted average leased occupancy for commercial properties represents the total leased square feet divided by the total square footage at acquisition. The weighted average leased occupancy for residential properties represents the total leased units divided by the total available units. Properties under construction are not included in the calculation of weighted average leased occupancy.
(2) As of September 30, 2025, we owned a building at 7 Dey Street / 185 Broadway that was comprised of approximately 140,382 square feet of residential space and approximately 50,206 square feet of office and retail space that is under development. For the purpose of this report, we have included this building in the number of residential properties we own. However, we have included only the residential square footage in the residential approximate square footage, and have listed the balance of the square footage as development square footage.
As of September 30, 2025, we also managed one office building and one retail building owned by a third party encompassing approximately 0.4 million square feet, and held consolidated debt and preferred equity investments with a book value of $171.4 million, excluding credit losses and approximately $130.5 million of debt and preferred equity investments and other financing receivables that are included in other balance sheet line items other than the Debt and preferred equity investments line item.

(1) Annual initial base rent.
(2) Escalated rent includes base rent plus all additional amounts paid by the tenant in the form of real estate taxes, operating expenses, porters wage or a consumer price index (CPI) adjustment.
(3) Includes expiring space, relocating tenants and move-outs where tenants vacated. Excludes lease expirations where tenants held over.
(4) Average starting office rent excluding new tenants replacing vacancies was $97.21 per rentable square feet for 220,110 rentable square feet. Average starting office rent for office space (leased and early renewals, excluding new tenants replacing vacancies) was $95.42 per rentable square feet for 384,800 rentable square feet.
SUMMIT Operator revenue
SUMMIT Operator revenues were lower for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 due primarily to taking the Ascent experience offline for maintenance, which is a premium ticket that generates incremental revenue.
Interest income from real estate loans held by consolidated securitization vehicles
During the three months ended September 2024 we acquired securities in CMBS securitization trusts that resulted in consolidation of the trusts on our financial statements. The amounts recorded include our interest income as well as the interest income associated with CMBS positions owned by third parties, which is offset by the amounts recorded in "Interest expense on senior obligations of consolidated securitization vehicles". As a result, the net impact is limited to the interest income on the CMBS we own directly and not the consolidated interest income and interest expense.
Other income
Other income increased due primarily to management fees earned from the Fund ($2.6 million).
Property operating expenses
Property operating expenses increased due primarily to the consolidation of 100 Park Avenue ($3.4 million) at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024, the acquisition of 500 Park Avenue ($1.4 million) in the first quarter of 2025 and an increase in real estate taxes at our Acquisition Properties ($1.9 million) and Same-Store Properties ($4.9 million).
SUMMIT Operator expenses
SUMMIT Operator expenses were lower for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 due to decreased variable expenses.
Transaction related costs
Transaction related costs increased for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 due primarily to the write off of expenses related to the Company's pursuit of a gaming license.
Marketing, general and administrative
Marketing, general, and administrative expenses increased to $23.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $21.0 million for the same period in 2024 due primarily to higher compensation expenses.
Interest expense, net of interest income
Interest expense, net of interest income, increased due primarily to the consolidation of 100 Park Avenue ($6.6 million) at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024 and an increase in the interest rate on the mortgage at 420 Lexington Avenue ($2.8 million) in the third quarter of 2024. These increases were offset by decreased interest expense from the revolving credit facility ($5.9 million) due to a lower outstanding balance, and the repayment of unsecured corporate term loans ($1.5 million) in the fourth quarter of 2024. The consolidated weighted average interest rate was 5.37% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to 5.05% for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
SUMMIT Operator tax (expense) benefit
SUMMIT Operator tax expense increased for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 due to an adjustment made in the third quarter of 2024 related to 2023 projected tax expense being more than 2023 actual tax expense.
Interest expense on senior obligations of consolidated securitization vehicles
During the three months ended September 2024, we acquired securities in CMBS securitization trusts that resulted in consolidation of the trusts on our financial statements. The amounts include the interest expense associated with CMBS positions owned by third parties, which is an offset to the third-party interest income recognized in Interest income from real estate loans held by consolidated securitization vehicles. As a result, the impact is limited to interest income on the CMBS we own directly and not the consolidated interest income and interest expense.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 due primarily to the consolidation of 100 Park Avenue ($5.2 million) at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024, the consolidation of 315 West 33rd Street ($1.8 million) at the end of the third quarter of 2025 and the acquisition of 500 Park Avenue ($1.4 million) in the first quarter of 2025.
Equity in net (loss) income from unconsolidated joint ventures
Equity in net loss from unconsolidated joint ventures decreased due primarily to the consolidation of 100 Park Avenue ($3.8 million) at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024.
Equity in net gain on sale of interest in unconsolidated joint venture/real estate
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a gain on the sale of a 5.0% interest in One Vanderbilt Avenue ($87.3 million). During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we did not dispose any interests in unconsolidated joint ventures.
Purchase price and other fair value adjustments
Purchase price and other fair value adjustments decreased due primarily to a decrease ($2.4 million) in the fair value adjustment for the secured borrowing related to the previous sale of an interest at One Madison Avenue during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year.
(Loss) gain on sale of real estate, net
(Loss) gain on sale of real estate, net decreased due primarily to a recognized gain on the sale of Palisades Premier Conference Center ($7.3 million) during the three months ended September 30, 2024. We did not dispose of any consolidated properties during the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to the nine months ended September 30, 2024
The following comparison for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, or 2025, to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, or 2024, makes reference to the effect of the following:
i. “Same-Store Properties,” which represents properties in service and operating during both the current and prior year reporting periods. (Same-Store Properties totaled 22 of our 28 consolidated operating properties),
ii. “Acquisition Properties,” which represents all properties or interests in properties acquired in 2025 and 2024 and all non-Same-Store Properties, including properties that are under development, redevelopment or were deconsolidated during the period,
iii."Disposed Properties," which represents all properties or interests in properties sold or partially sold in 2025 and 2024,
iv. "Alternative Strategy Portfolio," which represents non-core assets, and
v. “Other,” which represents properties that were partially sold resulting in deconsolidation and corporate level items not allocable to specific properties, as well as the Service Corporation and eEmerge Inc.

SUMMIT Operator revenues were lower for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 due primarily to taking the Ascent experience offline for maintenance, which is a premium ticket that generates incremental revenue.
Investment income
Investment income increased due primarily to interest payments received on one CMBS investment ($10.0 million) during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. This increase was partially offset by a lower weighted average debt and preferred equity investment balance and weighted average yield for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the weighted average debt and preferred equity investment balance outstanding and weighted average yield were $308.4 million and 5.9%, respectively, as compared to $334.6 million and 7.1%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Interest income from real estate loans held by consolidated securitization vehicles
During the three months ended September 2024 and the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we acquired securities in CMBS securitization trusts that resulted in consolidation of the trusts on our financial statements. The amounts recorded include our interest income as well as the interest income associated with CMBS positions owned by third parties, which is offset by the amounts recorded in "Interest expense on senior obligations of consolidated securitization vehicles". As a result, the net impact is limited to the interest income on the CMBS we own directly and not the consolidated interest income and interest expense.
Other income
Other income decreased due primarily to fee income recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 related to the sales of 625 Madison Avenue ($11.5 million) and 719 Seventh Avenue ($3.5 million). This is offset by management fees earned from the Fund ($5.2 million) and increased lease termination income ($3.9 million) during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Property operating expenses
Property operating expenses increased due primarily to the consolidation of 100 Park Avenue ($20.5 million) and 10 East 53rd Street ($4.4 million), the acquisition of 500 Park Avenue ($6.9 million) and an increase in real estate taxes at our Acquisition Properties ($4.5 million) and Same-Store Properties ($13.9 million).
SUMMIT Operator expenses
SUMMIT Operator expenses were lower for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 due to decreased variable expenses.
Transaction related costs
Transaction related costs increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 due primarily to the write off of expenses related to the Company's pursuit of a gaming license.
Marketing, general and administrative
Marketing, general, and administrative expenses increased to $67.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $62.4 million for the same period in 2024 due primarily to higher compensation expenses.
Interest expense, net of interest income
Interest expense, net of interest income, increased due primarily to the consolidation of 100 Park Avenue ($18.7 million), a decrease in interest capitalization at properties that are under development or redevelopment ($17.2 million) and an increase in the interest rate on the mortgage at 420 Lexington Avenue ($7.5 million). These increases were offset by decreased interest expense from the revolving credit facility ($15.9 million) due to a lower outstanding balance, and the repayment of unsecured corporate term loans ($5.4 million) in the fourth quarter of 2024. The consolidated weighted average interest rate was 5.37% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to 5.15% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
SUMMIT Operator tax (expense) benefit
SUMMIT Operator tax expense increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 due to an adjustment made in the third quarter of 2024 related to 2023 projected tax expense being more than 2023 actual tax expense.
Interest expense on senior obligations of consolidated securitization vehicles
During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we acquired securities in CMBS securitization trusts that resulted in consolidation of the trusts on our financial statements. The amounts include the interest expense associated with CMBS positions owned by third parties, which is an offset to the third party interest income recognized in "Interest income from real estate loans held by consolidated securitization vehicles". As a result, the impact is limited to interest income on the CMBS we own directly and not the consolidated interest income and interest expense.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased primarily due to the consolidation of 100 Park Avenue ($14.8 million) and 10 East 53rd Street ($4.2 million) and the acquisition of 500 Park Avenue ($3.7 million) in the first quarter of 2025.
Equity in net (loss) income from unconsolidated joint ventures
Equity in net (loss) income from unconsolidated joint ventures decreased primarily due to gains on discounted debt extinguishments at 2 Herald Square ($126.6 million) and 280 Park Avenue ($22.9 million) during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This was partially offset by the consolidation of 100 Park Avenue ($12.1 million) at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024.
Equity in net gain on sale of interest in unconsolidated joint venture/real estate
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a gain on the sale of our interest in One Vanderbilt Avenue ($87.3 million) offset by a loss on the sale of our interest in 85 Fifth Avenue ($2.3 million). During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized a gain on the sale of our interest in 717 Fifth Avenue ($24.9 million) offset by a loss on the sale of our interest in 625 Madison Avenue ($7.3 million).
Purchase price and other fair value adjustments
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded a $13.0 million negative fair value adjustment related to the initial valuation of Palisades Conference Center and a $4.0 million negative fair value adjustment related to derivatives that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, partially offset by a $14.2 million positive fair value adjustment for the secured borrowing related to the previous sale of an interest at One Madison Avenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a $55.7 million negative fair value adjustment relating to the consolidation of 10 East 53rd Street and a $2.6 million negative fair value adjustment related to derivatives that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, partially offset by a $21.9 million positive fair value adjustment for the secured borrowing related to the previous sale of an interest at One Madison Avenue.
(Loss) gain on sale of real estate, net
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized a gain on the sale of Palisades Premier Conference Center ($7.3 million) and a loss on the sale of 719 Seventh Avenue ($2.1 million).
Depreciable real estate reserves and impairment
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized depreciable real estate reserves and impairments at 760 Madison Avenue ($8.5 million). During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized depreciable real estate reserves and impairments at 719 Seventh Avenue ($46.3 million) and 760 Madison Avenue ($13.7 million), reflective of $13.2 million of capitalized interest. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized depreciable real estate reserves and impairments related to our investment at 625 Madison Avenue ($5.9 million), prior to the sale closing in the second quarter of 2024.
Gain on early extinguishment of debt
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized a ($17.8 million) gain on discounted debt extinguishment at 719 Seventh Avenue.
Loan loss and other investment reserves, net of recoveries
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a loan loss recovery of $71.6 million related to the repayment of the mortgage investment at 522 Fifth Avenue.
Gain on sale of marketable securities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a gain on marketable securities sold during the period ($10.2 million).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We currently expect that the principal sources of funds to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements for working capital, acquisitions, development or redevelopment of properties, tenant improvements, leasing costs, dividends to shareholders, distributions to unitholders, repurchases or repayments of outstanding indebtedness and for debt and preferred equity investments will include:
(1) Cash flow from operations;
(2) Cash on hand;
(3) Net proceeds from divestitures of properties and redemptions, participations, dispositions and repayments of debt and preferred equity investments;
(4) Borrowings under the revolving credit facility;
(5) Other forms of secured or unsecured financing; and
(6) Proceeds from common or preferred equity or debt offerings by the Company or the Operating Partnership (including issuances of units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership and Trust preferred securities).
Cash flow from operations is primarily dependent upon the collectability of rent, the occupancy level of our portfolio, the net effective rental rates achieved on our leases, the collectability of rent, operating escalations and recoveries from our tenants and the level of operating and other costs. Additionally, we believe that our debt and preferred equity investment program will continue to serve as a source of operating cash flow.
The combined aggregate principal maturities of mortgages and other loans payable, the 2021 credit facility, senior unsecured notes (net of discount), trust preferred securities, our share of joint venture debt, including as-of-right extension options, estimated interest expense, and our obligations under our financing and operating leases, as of September 30, 2025 are as follows (in thousands):
| Remaining 2025 | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | Thereafter | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Property mortgages and other loans | $— | $555,148 | $1,184,516 | $284,663 | $— | $264,055 | $2,288,382 |
| Revolving credit facility | — | — | 390,000 | — | — | — | 390,000 |
| Unsecured term loans | — | 100,000 | 1,050,000 | — | — | — | 1,150,000 |
| Senior unsecured notes | 100,000 | — | — | — | — | — | 100,000 |
| Trust preferred securities | — | — | — | — | — | 100,000 | 100,000 |
| Financing leases | 808 | 3,276 | 3,325 | 3,375 | 3,426 | 193,368 | 207,578 |
| Operating leases | 13,735 | 54,634 | 54,796 | 55,311 | 55,543 | 1,172,848 | 1,406,867 |
| Estimated interest expense | 50,193 | 186,204 | 85,488 | 30,605 | 27,018 | 268,034 | 647,542 |
| Joint venture debt | 10,085 | 1,180,172 | 1,742,323 | 382,294 | — | 2,490,300 | 5,805,174 |
| Total | $174,821 | $2,079,434 | $4,510,448 | $756,248 | $85,987 | $4,488,605 | $12,095,543 |
We estimate that for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2025, we expect to incur $39.4 million of leasing capital expenditures and $19.4 million of recurring capital expenditures on existing consolidated properties, of which $12.1 million will be funded by loan reserves. In addition, we expect to incur $22.9 million of development or redevelopment expenditures on existing consolidated properties, none of which will be funded by construction financing facilities or loan reserves. We expect our share of capital expenditures at our joint venture properties will be $34.7 million, of which $18.3 million will be funded by construction financing facilities or loan reserves. Future property acquisitions may require substantial capital investments for refurbishment and leasing costs.
As of September 30, 2025, we had liquidity of $1.1 billion, comprised of $852.5 million of availability under our revolving credit facility and $203.1 million of consolidated cash on hand, inclusive of $16.1 million of available-for-sale marketable securities. This liquidity excludes $94.6 million representing our share of cash at unconsolidated joint venture properties. We may seek to divest of properties, interests in properties or debt and preferred equity investments or access private and public debt and equity capital when the opportunity presents itself, although there is no guarantee that this capital will be made available to us at efficient levels or at all. Management believes that these sources of liquidity, if we are able to access them, along with potential refinancing opportunities for secured and unsecured debt, will allow us to satisfy our debt and other obligations, as described above, upon maturity, if not before.
We have investments in several real estate joint ventures with various partners who are generally considered to be financially stable. Most of our joint ventures are financed with non-recourse debt. We believe that property level cash flows along with unfunded committed indebtedness and proceeds from the refinancing of outstanding secured indebtedness will be sufficient to fund the capital needs of our joint venture properties.
Cash Flows
The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on our consolidated statements of cash flows in "Item 1. Financial Statements" and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented below.
Cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalents were $357.0 million and $315.1 million as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, representing an increase of $41.9 million. The increase was a result of the following changes in cash flows (in thousands):
| Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 | 2024 | (Decrease) Increase | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $54,420 | $71,420 | $(17,000) |
| Net cash used in investing activities | (41,101) | (37,475) | (3,626) |
| Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities | 12,086 | (54,339) | 66,425 |
Our principal sources of operating cash flow are the properties in our consolidated and joint venture portfolios, third-party fees and our debt and preferred equity portfolio. These sources generate a relatively consistent stream of cash flow that provides us with resources to pay operating expenses, debt service and fund dividend and distribution requirements.
Cash is used in investing activities to fund acquisitions, development or redevelopment projects and recurring and nonrecurring capital expenditures. We selectively invest in new projects that enable us to take advantage of our development, leasing, financing and property management skills and invest in existing buildings that meet our investment criteria. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we used cash primarily for the following investing activities (in thousands):
| Acquisitions of real estate | $(110,380) |
| Capital expenditures and capitalized interest | (20,261) |
| Acquisition deposits and deferred purchase price | 2,767 |
| Joint venture investments | 226,365 |
| Distributions from joint ventures | (5,585) |
| Proceeds from sales of real estate/partial interest in property | (265,983) |
| Cash and restricted cash assumed from consolidation of real estate investment | 4,163 |
| Debt and preferred equity and other investments | 165,288 |
| Increase in net cash used in investing activities | $(3,626) |
Funds spent on capital expenditures, which are comprised of building and tenant improvements, increased from $162.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $183.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 due to increased spending on development and redevelopment properties.
We generally fund our investment activity through the sale of real estate, the sale or repayment of debt and preferred equity investments, property-level financing, our corporate credit facilities, or construction facilities. From time to time, the Company may issue common or preferred stock or equity-linked securities, or the Operating Partnership may issue common or preferred units of limited partnership interest.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we used cash primarily for the following financing activities (in thousands):
| Proceeds from our debt obligations | $(156,497) |
| Repayments of our debt obligations | 174,442 |
| Net distribution to noncontrolling interests | 89,519 |
| Other financing activities | (7,871) |
| Proceeds from stock options exercised and DRSPP issuance | (14,102) |
| Proceeds from issuance of common stock | (871) |
| Dividends and distributions paid | (18,195) |
| Increase in net cash provided by financing activities | $66,425 |

Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan ("DRSPP")
In February 2024, the Company filed a new registration statement with the SEC for our dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan, or DRSPP, which automatically became effective upon filing. The Company registered 3,500,000 shares of our common stock under the DRSPP. The DRSPP commenced on September 24, 2001.
The following table summarizes SL Green common stock issued, and proceeds received from dividend reinvestments and/or stock purchases under the DRSPP for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively (dollars in thousands):

Sixth Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan
The Sixth Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, or the 2005 Plan, was approved by the Company's Board of Directors in April 2025 and its stockholders in June 2025 at the Company's annual meeting of stockholders. Subject to adjustments upon certain corporate transactions or events, awards with respect to up to a maximum of 39,890,000 fungible units may be granted as options, restricted stock, phantom shares, dividend equivalent rights and other equity-based awards under the 2005 Plan. As of September 30, 2025, 9.3 million fungible units were available for issuance under the 2005 Plan after reserving for shares underlying outstanding restricted stock units, and phantom stock units granted pursuant to our Non-Employee Directors' Deferral Program and LTIP Units.
Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, 14,501 phantom stock units and 10,311 shares of common stock were issued to our Board of Directors. We recorded compensation expense of $0.2 million and $2.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, related to the Deferred Compensation Plan. We recorded compensation expense of $0.2 million and $2.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, related to the Deferred Compensation Plan.
As of September 30, 2025, there were 92,805 phantom stock units outstanding pursuant to our Non-Employee Director's Deferral Program.
Indebtedness
The table below summarizes our consolidated mortgages and other loans payable, 2021 credit facility, 2022 term loan, senior unsecured notes and trust preferred securities outstanding as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, (amounts in thousands).
| Debt Summary: Balance | September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 |

(1) Inclusive of the mitigating effect of our debt, preferred equity, and other investments subject to variable rates, the percent of total debt of our net exposure to variable rate debt was 7.5% and 7.0% as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The variable rate debt shown above generally bears interest at an interest rate based on adjusted Term SOFR (4.13% and 4.33% as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively). Our consolidated debt as of September 30, 2025 had a weighted average term to maturity of 2.70 years.
Certain of our debt and equity investments and other investments, with carrying values of $131.7 million as of September 30, 2025 and $117.0 million as of December 31, 2024, are variable rate investments which mitigate our exposure to interest rate changes on our unhedged variable rate debt. Inclusive of the mitigating effect of these investments, the net ratio of our consolidated variable rate debt to total debt was 7.5% and 7.0% as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Corporate Indebtedness
2021 Credit Facility
In December 2021, we entered into an amended and restated credit facility, referred to as the 2021 credit facility, that was previously amended by the Company in November 2017, and was originally entered into by the Company in November 2012. As of September 30, 2025, the 2021 credit facility consisted of a $1.25 billion revolving credit facility, a $1.05 billion term loan (or "Term Loan A"), and a $100.0 million term loan (or "Term Loan B") with maturity dates of May 15, 2026, May 15, 2027, and November 19, 2025, respectively. Term Loan B has 2 six-month, as-of-right extension options to November 19, 2026. The revolving credit facility has two six-month, as-of-right extension options to May 15, 2027. We also have an option, subject to customary conditions, to increase the capacity of the credit facility to $4.5 billion at any time prior to the maturity dates for the revolving credit facility and term loans without the consent of existing lenders, by obtaining additional commitments from our existing lenders and other financial institutions.
As of September 30, 2025, the 2021 credit facility bore interest at a spread over adjusted Term SOFR plus 10 basis points with an interest period of one or three months, as we may elect, ranging from (i) 72.5 basis points to 140 basis points for loans under the revolving credit facility, (ii) 80 basis points to 160 basis points for loans under Term Loan A, and (iii) 85 basis points to 165 basis points for loans under Term Loan B, in each case based on the credit rating assigned to the senior unsecured long term indebtedness of the Company. In instances where there are either only two ratings available or where there are more than two and the difference between them is one rating category, the applicable rating shall be the highest rating. In instances where there are more than two ratings and the difference between the highest and the lowest is two or more rating categories, then the applicable rating used is the average of the highest two, rounded down if the average is not a recognized category.
As of September 30, 2025, the applicable spread over adjusted Term SOFR plus 10 basis points for the 2021 credit facility was 140 basis points for the revolving credit facility, 160 basis points for Term Loan A, and 180 basis points for Term Loan B. We are required to pay quarterly in arrears a 12.5 to 30 basis point facility fee on the total commitments under the revolving credit facility based on the credit rating assigned to the senior unsecured long term indebtedness of the Company. As of September 30, 2025, the facility fee was 30 basis points.
As of September 30, 2025, we had $7.5 million of outstanding letters of credit, $390.0 million drawn under the revolving credit facility and $1.15 billion of outstanding term loans, with total undrawn capacity of $852.5 million under the 2021 credit facility. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the revolving credit facility had a carrying value of $387.4 million and $316.2 million, respectively, net of deferred financing costs. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the term loans had a carrying value of $1,147.3 million and $1.1 billion, respectively, net of deferred financing costs.
The Company and the Operating Partnership are borrowers jointly and severally obligated under the 2021 credit facility.
The 2021 credit facility includes certain restrictions and covenants (see Restrictive Covenants below).
CMBS Repurchase Facility
In December 2024, the Company entered into a repurchase facility for CMBS (CMBS Repurchase Facility), which provides us with the ability to sell certain CMBS investments with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same at a certain date or on demand. We seek to mitigate risks associated with our repurchase facility by managing the credit quality of our assets, early repayments, interest rate volatility, liquidity, and market value. The margin call provisions under our repurchase facility permit valuation adjustments based on capital markets activity and are not limited to collateral-specific credit marks. To monitor credit risk associated with our CMBS investments, our asset management team regularly reviews our investment portfolio and is in contact with our borrowers in order to monitor the collateral and enforce our rights as necessary. The risk associated with potential margin calls is further mitigated by our ability to collateralize the facility with additional assets from our portfolio of investments, our ability to satisfy margin calls with cash or cash equivalents and our access to additional liquidity. As of September 30, 2025, there have been no margin calls on the CMBS Repurchase Facility. At September 30, 2025, there was no outstanding balance on the facility.
Restrictive Covenants
The terms of the 2021 credit facility and our senior unsecured notes include certain restrictions and covenants which may limit, among other things, our ability to pay dividends, make certain types of investments, incur additional indebtedness, incur liens and enter into negative pledge agreements and dispose of assets, and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value, a minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges, a maximum ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value and a maximum ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value. The dividend restriction referred to above provides that we will not, during any time when a default is continuing, make distributions with respect to common stock or other equity interests, except to enable the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all such covenants.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily from our variable rate debt. Our exposure to interest rate fluctuations are managed through the use of interest rate derivative instruments and through our variable rate debt and preferred equity investments. As of September 30, 2025, $3.6 billion of our consolidated long-term debt and $5.6 billion of our share of joint venture long-term debt bears interest at fixed rates. Our variable rate debt and variable rate joint venture debt as of September 30, 2025 bore interest based on a spread to LIBOR of 145 basis points and Term SOFR of 148 basis points to 241 basis points. Based on the debt outstanding as of September 30, 2025, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the applicable floating interest rate curve would increase our share of consolidated annual interest cost, net of interest income from variable rate debt and preferred equity investments, by $2.7 million and would increase our share of joint venture annual interest cost by $1.0 million. As of September 30, 2025, $0.1 billion of our debt and preferred equity portfolio was indexed to SOFR.
We recognize most derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges for accounting purposes are adjusted to fair value through income. If a derivative is considered a hedge for accounting purposes, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged asset, liability, or firm commitment through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have off-balance sheet investments, including joint ventures and debt and preferred equity investments. These investments all have varying ownership structures. A majority of our joint venture arrangements are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the operating and financial decisions of these joint venture arrangements. Our off-balance sheet arrangements are discussed in Note 5, "Debt and Preferred Equity Investments" and Note 6, "Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures" in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Dividends/Distributions
We expect to pay dividends to our stockholders based on the distributions we receive from our Operating Partnership.
To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must pay annual dividends to our stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined before taking into consideration the dividends paid deduction and net capital gains.
Any dividend we pay may be in the form of cash, stock or a combination thereof, subject to IRS limitations on the use of stock for dividends. Additionally, if our REIT taxable income in a particular year exceeds the amount of cash dividends we pay in that year, we may pay stock dividends in order to maintain our REIT status and avoid certain REIT-level taxes.
Before we pay any cash dividend, whether for Federal income tax purposes or otherwise, which would only be paid out of available cash to the extent permitted under the 2021 credit facility and senior unsecured notes, we must first meet both our operating requirements and scheduled debt service on our mortgages and loans payable.
Insurance
We maintain “all-risk” property and rental value coverage (including coverage regarding the perils of flood, earthquake and terrorism, excluding nuclear, biological, chemical, and radiological terrorism ("NBCR")), within two property insurance programs and liability insurance. Separate property and liability coverage may be purchased on a stand-alone basis for certain assets, such as development projects. Additionally, one of our captive insurance companies, Belmont Insurance Company ("Belmont"), provides coverage for NBCR terrorist acts above a specified trigger. Belmont's retention is reinsured by our other captive insurance company, Ticonderoga Insurance Company ("Ticonderoga"). If Belmont or Ticonderoga are required to pay a claim under our insurance policies, we would ultimately record the loss to the extent of required payments. However, there is no assurance that in the future we will be able to procure coverage at a reasonable cost. Further, if we experience losses that are uninsured or that exceed policy limits, we could lose the capital invested in the damaged properties as well as the anticipated future cash flows from those properties. Additionally, our debt instruments contain customary covenants requiring us to maintain insurance and we could default under our debt instruments if the cost and/or availability of certain types of insurance make it impractical or impossible to comply with such covenants relating to insurance. Belmont and Ticonderoga provide coverage solely on properties owned by the Company or its affiliates.
Furthermore, with respect to certain of our properties, including properties held by joint ventures or subject to triple net leases, insurance coverage is obtained by a third-party and we do not control the coverage. While we may have agreements with such third parties to maintain adequate coverage and we monitor these policies, such coverage ultimately may not be maintained or adequately cover our risk of loss.
Funds from Operations
Funds from Operations ("FFO") is a widely recognized non-GAAP financial measure of REIT performance. The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by Nareit, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the Nareit definition, or that interpret the Nareit definition differently than the Company does. The revised White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of Nareit in April 2002, and subsequently amended in December 2018, defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of properties and real estate related impairment charges, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
The Company presents FFO because it considers it an important supplemental measure of the Company's operating performance and believes that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, particularly those that own and operate commercial office properties. The Company also uses FFO as one of several criteria to determine performance-based compensation for members of its senior management. FFO is intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains and losses from property dispositions, and real estate related impairment charges, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indication of the Company's financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company's liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the Company's cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.
FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows (in thousands):

Seasonality
Our business at SUMMIT is subject to tourism trends and weather conditions, resulting in seasonal fluctuation. In 2024, approximately 19.0% of our annual SUMMIT revenue was realized in the first quarter, 26.0% was realized in the second quarter, 28.0% was realized in the third quarter, and 27.0% was realized in the fourth quarter. We do not consider any other components of our business to be subject to material seasonal fluctuations.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of "disclosure controls and procedures" in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports. Also, the Company has investments in certain unconsolidated entities. As the Company does not control these entities, its disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those the Company maintains with respect to its consolidated subsidiaries.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were effective to give reasonable assurances to the timely collection, evaluation and disclosure of information relating to the Company that would potentially be subject to disclosure under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
