Cousins Properties Inc. Reports Strong Q2 Performance and Expands in Dallas

ATLANTA, July 31, 2025 — Cousins Properties (NYSE: CUZ), a leading real estate investment trust (REIT) focused on Class A office buildings in high-growth Sun Belt markets, has announced its second quarter 2025 results. The company, which has been creating shareholder value since its founding in 1958, reported a robust performance that exceeded analyst expectations.

For the quarter ending June 30, 2025, Cousins Properties reported earnings of $0.080 per share, surpassing the previous year’s earnings of $0.050 per share and exceeding the average analyst estimate of $0.080 per share. Revenue for the quarter reached $243.6 million, marking a 14.36% increase from the $213.0 million reported in the same quarter of the previous year. This growth reflects Cousins’ strategic focus on acquiring and managing high-quality real estate assets in key markets.

Looking ahead, analysts project a full-year earnings per share of $0.328, up from $0.300 in the prior year, with total revenue expected to reach $975.5 million, compared to $856.8 million in the previous fiscal year. These projections underscore the company’s strong financial position and its ability to capitalize on market opportunities.

In addition to its strong financial performance, Cousins Properties has made a significant acquisition that further strengthens its portfolio. The company announced the acquisition of The Link, a 292,000 square foot lifestyle office property in the Uptown submarket of Dallas, for $218 million. The Link, built in 2021, is currently 93.6% leased with a weighted average lease term of over nine years. This acquisition is funded through a combination of excess proceeds from Cousins’ unsecured senior note offering and the settlement of common shares issued under the Company’s ATM program, with potential future asset dispositions also contributing.

Colin Connolly, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cousins Properties, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition: “We are excited to grow our presence in Dallas, and particularly the dynamic Uptown submarket, with the acquisition of The Link. With our strong balance sheet and financial flexibility, we have accretively acquired over $1 billion of lifestyle office properties in the past nine months. The acquisition of The Link offers another compelling growth opportunity that is immediately accretive to earnings while enhancing our portfolio and geographic concentration.”
