-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

EGP reported Q1 revenue of $190M, representing a solid 9.1% Y/Y increase from $174M in the prior-year period and meeting consensus expectations for the quarter. Cash same property NOI (excluding lease terminations) grew 7.5% to $133M, though this represented a deceleration from the stronger 8.4% growth rate achieved in the previous Q4, with the increase primarily due to strong cash rental growth on new lease signings across the portfolio.
