- Impairment: Recorded an impairment loss of $0.43 million on an asset held for sale, compared to $0.59 million in the prior year.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Leverage Target: Management targets a Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre ratio below 6.0x on a sustained basis. The current ratio is 5.7x.
- Dividends: The Board declared a quarterly distribution of $0.215 per share/OP unit for Q1 2025, payable April 15, 2025. A subsequent distribution of $0.215 per share was declared on May 13, 2025, for Q2 2025.
- Interest Rate Hedging: On March 3, 2025, the company entered into interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $200 million to fix the rate on its Term Loan at 3.664% through March 2028.
- Liquidity: The company maintains a $250 million Revolving Credit Facility with $138 million available capacity as of March 31, 2025.

Investor Verification Checklist
- Debt Maturity: Verify the maturity profile of the $312 million debt, noting the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan both mature in October 2027 with extension options.
- Occupancy and Leases: Confirm the 96.3% occupancy rate and review the lease expiration schedule, noting 1.6% of ABR expires in 2025.
- Internalization Costs: Review the impact of the transition from external to internal management on future G&A expense trends.
- Non-GAAP Reconciliations: Scrutinize the adjustments made to derive AFFO and Adjusted EBITDAre, specifically the treatment of straight-line rent and stock-based compensation.
- Subsequent Events: Note the post-period acquisition of $3.6 million in properties and the sale of a property for a $0.6 million gain.
