Noncontrolling Interests

11. Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of equity that the Company does not own in those entities it consolidates as a result of having a controlling interest or having determined that the Company was the primary beneficiary of a VIE in accordance with the provisions of the FASB’s Consolidation guidance. The Company accounts and reports for noncontrolling interests in accordance with the Consolidation guidance and the Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity guidance issued by the FASB. The Company identifies its noncontrolling interests separately within the equity section on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the Company and to the noncontrolling interests are presented separately on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

As of March 31, 2026, the Parent Company is the managing member of Kimco OP and owns 99.74% of the outstanding OP Units. Noncontrolling OP Units are owned by third parties and certain officers and directors of the Company. During 2024, the Parent Company issued 953,400 OP Units in Kimco OP, which were fully vested upon issuance and had a fair market value of $21.0 million. In addition, the Parent Company has granted to certain employees and directors long-term incentive plan units (“LTIP Units”) with time-based vesting requirements (“Time-Based LTIP Units”) and LTIP Units with performance-based vesting requirements (“Performance-Based LTIP Units”), assuming the maximum target performance (see Footnote 14 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The OP Units are currently redeemable at the option of the holder (subject to restrictions agreed upon at the time of issuance of LTIP Units to certain holders that may restrict such redemption right for a period of time) for the Parent Company’s common stock at a ratio of 1:1 or cash at the option of the Parent Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, 19,203 OP Units were redeemed for $0.4 million in cash. As of March 31, 2026, noncontrolling interests relating to the Noncontrolling OP units were $35.4 million and consisted of the following:

The Company owns eight shopping center properties located in Long Island, NY, which were acquired during 2022, partially through the issuance of $122.1 million of Preferred Outside Partner Units and $13.6 million of Common Outside Partner Units. The noncontrolling interest was classified as mezzanine equity and included in Redeemable noncontrolling interests on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a result of the put right available to the unit holders, an event that is not solely in the Company’s control. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, all of the 824,410 Preferred Outside Partner Units outstanding and 170,585 Common Outside Partner Units outstanding were redeemed for cash of $20.2 million, in separate transactions, and as such, this entity is no longer a VIE. These transactions resulted in a net decrease in Redeemable noncontrolling interests of $14.8 million and a decrease in the embedded derivative liability in Other liabilities of $5.4 million on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the Company paid $12.5 million, in January 2026, related to the put option exercised in December 2025, which resulted in a decrease in Accounts payable and accrued expenses on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, 46,461 Preferred Outside Partner Units and 5,162 Common Outside Partner Units were redeemed for cash of $1.0 million, in separate transactions. These transactions resulted in a net decrease in Redeemable noncontrolling interests of $0.7 million and a decrease in the embedded derivative liability in Other liabilities of $0.4 million on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Included within noncontrolling interests are units that were determined to be contingently redeemable that are classified as Redeemable noncontrolling interests and presented in the mezzanine section between Total liabilities and Stockholders’ equity/Members’ capital on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table presents the change in the redemption value of the Redeemable noncontrolling interests for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands):
