Negative Aspects:

• Decline in Net Income: Net income attributable to common shareholders significantly decreased to $38.8 million from $83.9 million in Q1 2024, primarily due to the prior year gain of $43.8 million from property sale.
• Non-Property Income Decline: Total non-property income dropped sharply to $3.7 million, compared to $8.9 million in Q1 2024, largely due to lower income on deferred compensation plans.
• Increased Other Expenses: Total other expenses rose to $213.5 million in Q1 2025, an increase of about 1.8% compared to the prior year, driven by higher interest and general administrative costs.

Key Statistics:

• Earnings Per Share: $0.36 (Q1 2025); $0.77 (Q1 2024)

• Total Liabilities: $4.31 billion (March 31, 2025); $4.10 billion (December 31, 2024)

Overall, while Camden Property Trust posted strong revenue growth and operating cash flow, the decline in net income attributed to prior year gains diminishes its comparative performance metrics. The increase in total expenses and drop in non-property income could signal areas for strategic improvement moving forward.
