Empire State Realty Trust, Inc. 8-K

What Happened

• On February 17, 2026, Empire State Realty Trust, Inc. (ESRT) announced its financial results for the fourth quarter of 2025 via a press release and a supplemental report. The press release and supplemental report are furnished as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 and are also available on the company’s website. The disclosure was furnished under Regulation FD and is explicitly noted as being “furnished” (not “filed”) for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act. The Form 8-K was signed by Stephen V. Horn, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer & Chief Accounting Officer.

Key Details

• Filing date: February 17, 2026; subject: Q4 2025 financial results (press release + supplemental report).
• Exhibits attached: 99.1 (press release) and 99.2 (supplemental report); interactive cover page XBRL included.
• The filing includes detailed definitions and disclosures for non-GAAP metrics used by ESRT, including: FFO, Modified FFO, Core FFO, Core FAD, NOI, Property Cash NOI (and variants), Same Store, EBITDA/Adjusted EBITDA, and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA.
• Regulation FD disclosure: information furnished is not “filed” and therefore not subject to Section 18 liability; supplemental materials available on the company website.

Why It Matters

• Investors get ESRT’s latest quarterly results plus the company’s definitions and methodology for key non-GAAP metrics (FFO, Core FFO, Core FAD, NOI, Adjusted EBITDA, etc.), which are commonly used to evaluate REIT operating performance and leverage but have limitations versus GAAP measures.
• Because the filing furnishes (rather than files) the release under Regulation FD, the company clarifies legal treatment of the disclosure; investors should review the attached press release and supplemental report on ESRT’s website for the full numbers, reconciliations, and management commentary.
