BETHESDA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 05, 2026--
Chiron Real Estate Inc. (NYSE: XRN) (the "Company" or "Chiron"), today announced financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and other data.
Mark Decker, Jr., Chief Executive Officer and President stated, "When we outlined our priorities earlier this year, we committed to active capital allocation, portfolio repositioning, and building the capabilities necessary to support our next phase of growth. During the second quarter, we made meaningful progress on each objective. We completed our inaugural SHOP acquisitions, monetized legacy assets at attractive valuations, strengthened our leadership team, and continued to redeploy capital into investments that we believe offer superior long-term return potential. While there is still work ahead, we believe the actions we've taken over the last several months have positioned Chiron as a stronger, more capable, and more relevant healthcare real estate company."
In conjunction with this release, the Company has posted an updated Investor Presentation to the Investor Relations section of its website. The presentation includes additional information regarding the Company's investment and disposition activity, portfolio composition, and strategic priorities.
NOTE: All share and per share data have been adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the Company's one-for-five reverse stock split that was effective September 19, 2025.
Quarterly Financial Highlights
-- Reported quarterly net income attributable to common stockholders of
$63.3 million, or $4.78 per diluted share, as compared to net loss of
$0.8 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the comparable prior year
period.
-- Reported quarterly funds from operations attributable to common
stockholders and noncontrolling interest ("FFO") of $0.88 per share and
unit, as compared to $0.98 per share and unit in the comparable prior
year period.
-- Reported core funds from operations attributable to common stockholders
and noncontrolling interest ("Core FFO") of $1.04 per share and unit, as
compared to $1.14 per share and unit in the comparable prior year
period.
-- Second quarter same-property cash net operating income ("Same-Property
Cash NOI") growth on the Company's Outpatient Medical portfolio was +0.8%
on a year-over-year basis. Results were adversely impacted by a one-time,
non-recurring revenue recovery recognized during the comparable
prior-year period associated with a single asset; excluding this asset,
Same-Property Cash NOI growth would have been +1.7%, consistent with
Management's expectations.
