Kilroy Realty Corporation (NYSE:KRC) ("Kilroy" or the "Company") today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

"I am pleased to report on a remarkably strong quarter of execution across all facets of our business.

"In addition, we remained active on the capital allocation front, selling approximately $350 million of non-core and non-strategic properties year-to-date, while prudently allocating capital to debt repayments, opportunistic share repurchases, and a substantially pre-leased development project in one of the Company's best-performing submarkets."
