Seritage Growth Properties (SRG)·Q3 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q3 2025 revenue rose to $4.79M, up 47% year-over-year and 3% sequentially; diluted EPS improved to ($0.24) vs ($0.53) in Q2 and ($0.41) in Q3 2024, aided by far lower impairments ($0.8M vs $18.0M in Q2) and reduced interest expense .
- Management highlighted four assets under contract totaling $240.8M (three with no due diligence contingencies for $170.0M) and said near-term closings could enable a “sizeable” term loan prepayment before year-end, a potential stock reaction catalyst tied to deleveraging .
- Liquidity decreased to $59.9M cash (including $8.3M restricted) at quarter-end, down from $80.1M in Q2, reflecting extension fees paid and ongoing operating needs; term loan balance now ~$196.7M (net) after earlier $40M principal repayments in 2025 .
- The company shifted from property-specific future sales projections to a single range ($220–$310M) for assets not yet under contract and will cease providing projections going forward, signaling prudence amid challenging capital markets and pricing pressure .
- Street estimate coverage remains very limited; consensus EPS/Revenue for Q3 was unavailable, though one target price estimate sits at $6.50, limiting beat/miss analysis and implying muted sell-side attention [GetEstimates]*.
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Asset sale pipeline: “We continue to see good progress on our various asset sale processes… expect near-term closings for all three assets under contract with no due diligence contingencies… [which] would allow us to make a sizeable prepayment of our Term Loan… prior to year end.” — CEO Adam Metz .
- Sequential EPS improvement to ($0.24) from ($0.53) and sharp reduction in impairments ($0.8M vs $18.0M in Q2) supported improved operating optics, even as the plan of sale advances .
- NOI-cash basis at share turned positive year-over-year to $1.60M (from $(0.93)M in Q3 2024), reflecting improved property-level contribution including JV share .
What Went Wrong
- Liquidity drawdown: Cash on hand declined to $59.9M (incl. $8.3M restricted) from $80.1M in Q2; management reiterated reliance on asset sales and potential alternative financing to fund obligations, underscoring execution risk .
- Continued net losses: Net loss attributable to common shareholders was ($13.65)M; net loss margin remained deeply negative despite sequential improvement, reflecting a small revenue base and elevated G&A and interest costs .
- Ongoing litigation and governance overhang: Multiple derivative actions were consolidated and stayed pending resolution of a motion to dismiss in the separate securities class action; management intends to defend vigorously, but investor sentiment risk persists .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Deleveraging catalyst: Near-term closings ($170.0M with no contingencies; $240.8M total under contract) could drive a “sizeable” term loan prepayment before year-end, potentially re-rating the equity on balance sheet de-risking .
- Execution remains paramount: Liquidity declined to $59.9M (incl. $8.3M restricted) and the company continues to rely on asset sales/financing; timing and pricing amidst tough capital markets will drive outcomes .
- Operating optics improved: EPS loss narrowed and impairments fell markedly vs Q2; net loss margin improved, though still very negative given a small revenue base and sizable G&A/interest burden .
- Premier leasing softness: Leased GLA at share fell to 69.7% (from ~77%), even as ABR PSF increased; watch leasing momentum and tenant commencements at premier sites for cash flow progression .
- Disclosure shift: Management moved to an aggregate future sales range ($220–$310M) and will stop providing projections going forward, suggesting conservative communications and potential price sensitivity in current negotiations .
- Legal overhang: Consolidated and stayed derivative actions pending motion to dismiss in the securities class action; headline risk remains though near-term cash flow events matter more to valuation .
- Trading angle: Stock likely reacts to signed PSA conversions into closed proceeds and visible debt paydown; absence of Street estimates implies idiosyncratic move on company-specific sale announcements rather than consensus-driven earnings beats [GetEstimates]*.
