INDIANAPOLIS - Simon Property Group (NYSE:SPG), a premier shopping center REIT, reported second quarter earnings that exceeded analyst expectations, driven by strong occupancy rates and increased rental income.

"We delivered another successful quarter, driven by the quality of our portfolio and disciplined execution," said David Simon, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. "Our strategic investments and A-rated balance sheet position us for sustained long-term cash flow growth."

The company’s domestic property Net Operating Income increased 4.2% compared to the prior year period, while portfolio NOI rose 4.7%.
