Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Net Loss vs. Net Income: The Company reported a net loss of $6.9 million in Q1 2025 compared to net income of $26.4 million in Q1 2024. This decline is primarily attributable to the absence of a $31.7 million gain on the sale of real estate recorded in Q1 2024 (sale of the "Old Farm" property). No property dispositions occurred in Q1 2025.
• Revenue Decline: Total revenues decreased by $4.4 million (6.5%) year-over-year, driven by the prior year's disposition activity. Same Store revenues decreased by 1.0% due to a 1.3% decrease in weighted average monthly effective rent and a 0.3% decrease in occupancy.
• Operating Expenses: Total expenses decreased by $2.5 million, largely due to lower property operating expenses and taxes associated with the sold property in the prior year.
• Interest Expense: Interest expense remained flat at approximately $14.4 million. The weighted average interest rate on mortgage debt decreased slightly to 5.40% from 5.56%.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Dividends: The Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.51 per share for Q1 2025 (paid March 31, 2025) and approved a subsequent quarterly dividend of $0.51 per share payable June 30, 2025.
• Share Repurchases: No shares were repurchased during Q1 2025. However, in the subsequent period (April 1 – May 1, 2025), the Company repurchased 223,109 shares for approximately $7.6 million.
• Debt Maturity: The Corporate Credit Facility matures on June 30, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, there was $0 outstanding and $100 million available. The Company reduced available borrowing capacity by $250 million in February 2025.
• Interest Rate Hedging: The Company has interest rate swaps covering approximately 55.6% of its floating rate debt, effectively fixing the rate on $0.8 billion at a weighted average of 1.10%. Interest rate caps cover the remaining floating debt.
• Risks: Key risks include macroeconomic conditions (inflation, tariffs), high interest rates impacting refinancing, concentration of properties in specific geographic markets, and potential litigation related to the Highland Capital Management bankruptcy (currently stayed) and the UBS lawsuit (claims against affiliates, not the Company directly).

Investor Verification Checklist

• Debt Refinancing: Verify the status of the Corporate Credit Facility maturing June 30, 2025, and the Company's ability to refinance or extend given current market conditions.
• Same Store Performance: Monitor the trend in Same Store NOI, which declined 3.8% year-over-year, driven by rent reductions and occupancy pressures.
• Fee Waivers: Note that the Adviser voluntarily waived approximately $5.3 million in advisory and administrative fees for Q1 2025; verify if this waiver is expected to continue in future periods.
• Capital Expenditures: Review the $3.7 million in renovation value-add reserves and the pace of capital deployment to ensure alignment with the value-add strategy.
• Legal Proceedings: Track the status of the Highland Bankruptcy Trust Lawsuit and the UBS Lawsuit involving affiliates to assess potential indirect impacts.
