Core FFO attributable to common stockholders and noncontrolling interest was $0.75 a share and unit, down from $1.04 in the second quarter, as the company booked $2.0 million of severance tied to its seniors-housing pivot.

Chiron Real Estate Inc. (XRN), a healthcare-focused REIT, reported core funds from operations of $0.75 a share and unit for the three months ended September 30, 2026, down from $1.04 in the second quarter. Reported FFO was $0.50 a share and unit.

The company posted a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $8.9 million, or $0.67 a share, versus a $6.0 million loss, or $0.45 a share, a year earlier. Total revenue was $40.3 million, including $6.2 million of resident fees and services from the seniors housing operating portfolio.

General and administrative expenses were $7.7 million, including $2.0 million of severance and transition related expenses associated with the strategic pivot to seniors housing. Those costs comprised $1.2 million of cash expenditures and $0.8 million of non-cash items, primarily related to the transition of the chief investment officer.

Same-property cash net operating income on the outpatient medical portfolio grew 1.6% year over year in the third quarter, after 0.8% in the second quarter and 3.2% in the first quarter. The company said the third-quarter rate was in line with management expectations.

At quarter-end the outpatient medical portfolio comprised 4.6 million leasable square feet, $101 million of annualized cash NOI, a weighted average lease term of 4.6 years, weighted average annual base rent escalations of 2.2%, and 93.6% leased occupancy. The company is actively pursuing a disposition of that portfolio and has engaged a broker.

The seniors housing operating portfolio remained two communities totaling 292 homes at September 30. In October the company completed the previously announced $173.2 million acquisition of The Pinnacle, a 175-home community in North Bethesda, Maryland, taking the portfolio to three communities and 467 homes.

The Landing averaged 95.1% occupancy in the third quarter, up 1.8% from occupancy as of June 30. The Riviera averaged 25.6% occupancy, up 2.3% from 23% at June 30. The Riviera opened in March 2026; management expects stabilization at a yield-on-cost of greater than 7% in the second half of 2028. Spot occupancy at The Pinnacle was 30.9% as of September 30, compared with 5.1% as of June 30, after the community opened in June. Management expects stabilization at a yield-on-cost of greater than 7% in 2029.

In September the company acquired a Reston, Virginia land parcel zoned for a seniors housing community for $15.4 million. In July it completed initial funding of a $2.2 million Daleville mezzanine loan. It also sold a Vernon, Connecticut administrative asset for $1.9 million of gross proceeds, a $0.3 million loss.

A bankruptcy court approved White Rock Medical Center LLC’s reorganization plan in September, affirming the company’s leases. Chiron agreed to a cure amount of approximately $2.6 million, payable over time from available cash generated by hospital operations, with any remaining balance due no later than five years following the effective date.

Consolidated debt outstanding was $661.7 million at September 30, with leverage of 41.2% of total gross assets versus 39.9% as of June 30. Total debt carried a weighted average interest rate of 4.5% and a weighted average remaining term of 3.4 years, with 75% fixed-rate debt and no maturities in 2026 or 2027.

Chief Executive Officer and President Mark Decker, Jr. said the company continues to expand its seniors housing platform and is building a pipeline of investment opportunities that it believes can position Chiron to redeploy capital.
