Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Total revenues increased by $11.2 million (24.3%) year-over-year, driven primarily by an increase in the number of operating leases and additional cash rental receipts of $9.5 million.
• Profitability: Net income attributable to common stockholders rose to $5.7 million from $1.7 million, a 236% increase. This was fueled by higher rental revenues and a decrease in impairment provisions ($2.1 million vs. $3.6 million), partially offset by higher interest and depreciation expenses.
• Acquisitions and Dispositions: The Company acquired 56 properties for $234.0 million and sold 5 properties for $10.4 million. In contrast, Q1 2025 saw 18 acquisitions and 16 dispositions.
• Debt and Liquidity: Total debt increased by approximately $138 million due to draws on the 2032 Term Loan and the Revolver to fund acquisitions. Cash balances decreased by $3.4 million due to significant investing outflows.
• Equity Activity: The Company settled 4.0 million shares from a January 2024 follow-on offering, receiving net proceeds of $67.8 million. Additionally, a February 2026 follow-on offering of 12.6 million shares was completed, though proceeds remain unsettled under forward sale agreements.

Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items

• Capital Resources: Management expects liquidity to be adequate for the next 12 months, supported by cash flows from operations, available borrowing capacity under the Revolver, and proceeds from unsettled forward equity sales totaling approximately $34.2 million in shares.
• Debt Maturities: A significant balloon payment of $250.0 million is scheduled for the 2029 Term Loan in July 2026. The Company has extension options available but must exercise them subject to conditions.
• Impairments: The Company recorded $2.1 million in impairment provisions on nine properties and one mortgage loan receivable. Most impaired assets were classified as held-for-sale or disposed of during the quarter.
• Interest Rate Risk: While the Company has hedged the majority of its term loans to fixed rates, it remains exposed to variable rates on its Revolver. The Company obtained an investment-grade credit rating in late 2025, resulting in reduced interest rate margins on its debt facilities.
• Development Pipeline: Four properties are currently under development, with rent commencement expected throughout 2026 and early 2027.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Unsettled Forward Equity: Verify the settlement dates and potential dilution impact of the 34.2 million shares under forward sale agreements (including the February 2026 offering).
• Debt Extension Options: Confirm the status and conditions required to exercise extension options on the $250 million 2029 Term Loan maturing in July 2026.
• Impairment Trends: Monitor the number of properties classified as "held for sale" and the frequency of impairment charges to assess portfolio quality.
• Dividend Coverage: Review AFFO coverage of the quarterly dividend ($0.22/share) to ensure sustainability given the high leverage ratio (Adjusted Net Debt / Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre of 3.2x).
• Development Completion: Track the timeline for the four properties under development to ensure they meet projected rent commencement dates.
