**Tone:** mgmt 0.8 · Q&A pressure 0.5 · divergence 0.3

Delivered a very strong second quarter, exceeded guidance, raised FFO midpoint, occupancy gains and progress on asset sales and developments

Focus on asset sales, debt refinancing, selective development and opportunistic acquisitions

### Fears / risks

- **Market/Technology risk**: Uncertainty around long‑term AI impact on office‑based employment could affect demand for premier workplaces
- **Demand risk**: Reliance on AI‑enabled tenants; if AI reduces office jobs, leasing demand could soften
- **Financial risk**: Free‑rent periods delay cash‑flow realization, creating short‑term cash same‑store lag
- **Supply risk**: New office construction virtually halted, but any resurgence could increase vacancy pressure
- **Capital market risk**: Potential shifts in debt market conditions could raise refinancing costs
- **Execution risk**: Future asset‑sale proceeds depend on closing of contracts; $500M additional proceeds in 2026 not guaranteed
- **Geographic risk**: Concentration in four CBD markets makes BXP vulnerable to regional economic downturns
- **Competitive risk**: Tight trophy‑space market drives rents higher but could limit leasing if supply of premium space expands
