Negative Free Cash FlowA sharp fall to negative free cash flow (down ~121.8%) undermines internal funding capacity for capex, development and buybacks despite positive operating cash flow. Persistent negative FCF increases reliance on external financing or asset sales, constraining strategic flexibility and potentially pressuring distributions if not reversed.
Rising Cost Of DebtAn increase in the weighted average cost of debt (from 4.3% to 4.6%) creates a structural headwind to FFO. While hedges cover near-term exposure, rolling hedges and future refinancing risk mean higher average funding costs could persist, compressing distributable earnings and reducing room for leverage or growth initiatives over the medium term.
Elevated Leasing Incentives & Vacancy-related CapexHigh average leasing incentives (~12.3%) and expected Mosaic-related leasing capital (~$2.5m) create recurring expense pressure and a modest NOI drag (~$0.5m). Persistently elevated incentives compress net rental yields and slow the pace of rent reversion, reducing long‑term NOI growth potential and cash available for distributions.
