Curbline Properties
Curbline Properties' revenue rose 51.3% to $183 million in fiscal 2025. Its net margin was 21.8%, up from 8.5% a year earlier. It paid out $77 million in dividends and buybacks.
Net margin is net income as a share of revenue. Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Return on capital is after-tax operating income as a share of the money invested in the business: debt plus equity, minus cash. Market cap is the last closing share price times the latest diluted share count, so it is approximate. P/E is the last close divided by diluted earnings per share over the last four quarters, or the latest fiscal year where the quarters aren't available; there is none when the company made a loss.

What Curbline Properties does
Curbline Properties is a real estate company, organized as a Maryland corporation, that owns, leases, buys and manages convenience shopping centers. They sit at well-traveled intersections and main roads in suburban communities with high household incomes. All of its properties are in the United States, mostly across the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southwest and Mountain regions, plus Texas.
It earns money from rent. Its properties generally are rows of small shop units leased to a mix of national, regional and local service and restaurant tenants who serve daily convenience trips. The company says about half of its properties have at least one drive-thru unit, and that the standard site plans reduce the capital spending it needs compared with other kinds of shopping centers. At the end of 2025 it owned 176 properties.
Curbline was spun off from SITE Centers on October 1, 2024, when SITE Centers contributed 79 convenience shopping centers to it and distributed Curbline shares to its own shareholders. Curbline is a holding company and depends on distributions from its operating partnership.
Its biggest risks, as it describes them
- Losing significant occupancy, since it depends on rental income.
- Expenses that stay the same or rise even if income from its properties falls, and inflation in construction and operating costs.
- Being unable to manage growth well or capture the savings it expects from scale.
- Real estate being hard to sell when it wants to, or on good terms.
- Changes in consumer habits, shopping channels and suburban populations that could cut revenue.
Income statement
From fiscal 2022 to 2025, earnings per share grew 14.0% a year and net income 15.8% a year, with the share count about the same.

Cash flow
