On Aug. 7, General Growth Properties (NYSE:GGP) released annual earnings for the period ending June 30.

  • The company missed analyst expectations for funds from operations (FFO) on increased interest expense on variable debt and a reduction in land sales, which are likely to make quarterly results lumpy.
  • Total debt was up slightly year over year but shrank as a percentage of total market capitalization.
  • Net operating income (NOI) and same-store net operating income performance remained strong.
