Tanger Inc.

What they do

As of December 31, 2025, the consolidated portfolio consisted of 31 outlet centers and three open-air lifestyle centers totaling approximately 14.0 million square feet of gross leasable area, which were 98% occupied and contained over 2,600 stores representing over 700 store brands. The company also holds partial ownership interests in six unconsolidated centers totaling approximately 2.1 million square feet, including two in Canada, and manages one center of approximately 457,000 square feet. All operations are conducted through Tanger Properties Limited Partnership, of which Tanger Inc. is the sole general partner. Each center, except one joint venture center, features the Tanger brand name.

Revenue drivers

• Rental revenue from consolidated centers — Base and percentage rents from tenants across 31 outlet centers and three open-air lifestyle centers, which totaled approximately 14.0 million square feet and were 98% occupied at December 31, 2025. This is the primary revenue source and is reflected in quarterly rental revenues that ranged from $138.7 million to $145.2 million in recent periods.
• Unconsolidated joint ventures — Partial ownership interests in six centers totaling approximately 2.1 million square feet, including two centers in Canada. These investments generate equity in earnings and fee income but are not consolidated in reported revenues.
• Managed center — One managed center of approximately 457,000 square feet, which produces management fee income. This represents a small portion of total revenue relative to the owned portfolio.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, net income available to common shareholders was $0.29 per share, or $33.0 million, compared to $0.26 per share, or $29.9 million, in the prior year period.

FFO and Core FFO available to common shareholders were each $1.23 per share, or $147.5 million, compared to $1.11 per share, or $131.3 million, for the first half of 2025. Quarterly revenue was $143.7 million in the second quarter of 2026, up from $138.7 million in the first quarter of 2026.

Strategy

Management describes a disciplined external growth strategy, highlighted by the accretive acquisition of Levis Commons Town Center, which it calls the seventh open-air and fourth lifestyle center added in the past three years. The company is proactively merchandising its centers, having strategically recaptured spaces where it believes greater value can be created, and is introducing sought-after brands, restaurants, and entertainment concepts. Tanger emphasizes its differentiated leasing, operating, and marketing platforms to drive traffic and engage a wide demographic. It also cites a strong and flexible balance sheet to support continued growth and value creation. The 10-K states the company focuses on developing, acquiring, owning, operating and managing outlet and other open-air retail centers.

Risks

• Real estate investment risks — The economic performance and market value of Tanger's centers are subject to changes in economic climate, inflation, interest rates, consumer confidence and shopping preferences, and local conditions such as oversupply or reduced demand.
• Development and expansion risks — Tanger intends to develop new centers and expand existing ones, but these projects carry risks including significant expenditures on projects that may be delayed or never completed, higher-than-projected construction costs, and shortages of construction materials.
• Tenant concentration and retail bankruptcies — Tanger depends on rental income from real property and the results of operations of its retailers; tenant bankruptcy, early termination or closing could adversely affect the company, and certain leases include co-tenancy or sales-based provisions that may allow reduced rent or lease termination.
• Tariffs and macroeconomic pressures — The 10-Q cites newly-imposed and potentially additional U.S. tariffs and responsive non-U.S. tariffs, inflationary pressures, recessionary fears, increased capital costs and capital markets volatility as risks that could reduce consumer confidence and spending.

Outlook

The August 4, 2026 earnings release states that Tanger increased its 2026 guidance, citing proactive merchandising and operational strength. Management said occupancy moderated during the quarter as the company strategically recaptured space expected to create greater value, and described robust retailer demand amid limited new supply, above-average population growth in its markets, and a consolidating department store industry. Management stated it remains well-positioned to enhance its portfolio, unlock additional value, and deliver long-term growth supported by a strong and flexible balance sheet.
