Organization
Description of Business and Organization
Essential Properties Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) is an internally managed real estate company that acquires, owns and manages primarily single-tenant properties that are net leased on a long-term basis to middle-market companies operating service-oriented or experience-based businesses. The Company generally invests in and leases freestanding, single-tenant commercial real estate facilities where a tenant services its customers and conducts activities that are essential to the generation of the tenant’s sales and profits.
The Company was organized on January 12, 2018 as a Maryland corporation. It elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with the year ended December 31, 2018, and it believes that its current organizational and operational status and intended distributions will allow it to continue to so qualify. Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted directly and indirectly through its operating partnership, Essential Properties, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”).
The common stock of the Company is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “EPRT”.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as filed with the SEC in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company, directly and indirectly, held a
99.2
% and
99.7
% ownership interest in the Operating Partnership, respectively, and the consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Operating Partnership as of these dates. See Note 8—Non-controlling Interests for changes in the ownership interest in the Operating Partnership.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reportable Segments
Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for the manner in which enterprises report information about operating segments. Substantially all of the Company’s investments, at acquisition, are comprised of real estate owned and leased to tenants on a long-term basis and loans and direct financing lease receivables secured by real estate. Therefore, the Company aggregates these investments for reporting purposes and operates in
one
reportable segment. The chief operating decision maker,
9
Table of Contents
which is the Company's Chief Executive Officer, determines resource allocations based on characteristics of potential future investments (e.g., return on investment, tenant credit quality, industry type, and geographic location) and assesses the performance of the Company's existing portfolio based primarily on operating results and cash flow on a consolidated basis.
Real Estate Investments
Investments in real estate are carried at cost or, in the event of non-cash exchanges, measured based on the fair value of the consideration exchanged, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of investments in real estate reflects their purchase price or development cost. The Company evaluates each acquisition transaction to determine whether the acquired asset meets the definition of a business. Under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-1,
Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business
, an acquisition does not qualify as a business when there is no substantive process acquired or substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets or the acquisition does not include a substantive process in the form of an acquired workforce or an acquired contract that cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort or delay. Transaction costs related to acquisitions that are asset acquisitions are capitalized as part of the cost basis of the acquired assets, while transaction costs for acquisitions that are deemed to be acquisitions of a business are expensed as incurred. Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life or improve the productive capacity of the asset. Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
The Company incurs various costs in the leasing and development of its properties. Amounts paid to tenants that incentivize them to extend or otherwise amend an existing lease or to sign a new lease agreement are capitalized to lease incentives on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Tenant improvements are capitalized to building and improvements within the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Costs incurred which are directly related to properties under development, which include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs and real estate taxes and insurance, are capitalized during the period of development as construction in progress. Determination of when a development project commences, and capitalization begins, and when a development project has reached substantial completion, and is available for occupancy and capitalization must cease, involves a degree of judgment. The Company does not engage in speculative real estate development. The Company does, however, opportunistically agree to reimburse certain of its tenants for development costs at its properties in exchange for contractually specified rent that generally increases proportionally with its funding.
The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired properties accounted for as asset acquisitions to tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets or liabilities, if any, based on their relative fair values. Tangible assets may include land, site improvements and buildings. Intangible assets may include the value of in-place leases and above- and below-market leases and other identifiable intangible assets or liabilities based on lease or property specific characteristics.
The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property with an in-place operating lease is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to the tangible assets based on the fair value of the tangible assets. The fair value of in-place leases is determined by considering estimates of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods, current market conditions, as well as costs to execute similar leases based on the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. The Company estimates the cost to execute leases with terms similar to the remaining lease terms of the in-place leases, including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. Factors the Company considers in this analysis include an estimate of the carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses, and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, which primarily range from
six
to
12
months.
The fair value of above- or below-market leases is recorded based on the net present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between the contractual amount to be paid pursuant to the in-place lease and the Company’s estimate of the fair market lease rate for the corresponding in-place lease, measured over the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease including any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases.
In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, the Company uses a number of sources, including real estate valuations prepared by independent valuation firms. The Company also considers information and other factors including market conditions, the industry that the tenant operates in, characteristics of
10
Table of Contents
the real estate (e.g., location, size, demographics, value and comparative rental rates), tenant credit profile and the importance of the location of the real estate to the operations of the tenant’s business. Additionally, the Company considers information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company uses the information obtained as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence as part of its consideration of the accounting standard governing asset retirement obligations and, when necessary, will record an asset retirement obligation as part of the purchase price allocation.
Real estate investments that are intended to be sold are designated as “held for sale” on the consolidated balance sheets at the lesser of carrying amount and fair value less estimated selling costs. Real estate investments are no longer depreciated when they are classified as held for sale. If the disposal, or intended disposal, of certain real estate investments represents a strategic shift that has had or will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, the operations of such real estate investments would be presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for all applicable periods.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of up to
40
years for buildings and
15
years for site improvements.
The Company recorded the following amounts of depreciation expense on its real estate investments during the periods presented:

Lease incentives are amortized on a straight-line basis as a reduction of rental revenue over the remaining non-cancellable terms of the respective leases. If a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of the lease incentive is charged to rental revenue. Construction in progress is not depreciated until the development has reached substantial completion. Tenant improvements are depreciated over the non-cancellable term of the related lease or their estimated useful life, whichever is shorter.
Capitalized above-market lease intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis as a reduction of rental revenue over the remaining non-cancellable terms of the respective leases. Capitalized below-market lease intangibles are accreted on a straight-line basis as an increase to rental revenue over the remaining non-cancellable terms of the respective leases including any below-market fixed rate renewal option periods.
Capitalized above-market ground lease values are accreted as a reduction of property expenses over the remaining terms of the respective leases. Capitalized below-market ground lease values are amortized as an increase to property expenses over the remaining terms of the respective leases and any expected below-market renewal option periods where renewal is considered probable.
The value of in-place leases, exclusive of the value of above-market and below-market lease intangibles, is amortized to depreciation and amortization expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining periods of the respective leases.
If a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of each intangible, including in-place lease values, is charged to depreciation and amortization expense, while above- and below-market lease adjustments are recorded within rental revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.
Loans Receivable
The Company holds its loans receivable for long-term investment. Loans receivable are carried at amortized cost, including related unamortized discounts or premiums, if any, less the Company's estimated allowance for credit losses. The Company recognizes interest on loans receivable using the effective-interest method applied on a loan-by-loan basis. Direct costs associated with originating loans are offset against any related fees received and the balance, along with any premium or discount, is deferred and amortized as an adjustment to interest on loans and direct financing lease receivables over the term of the related loan receivable using the effective-interest method.
11
Table of Contents
Direct Financing Lease Receivables
Certain of the Company’s real estate investment transactions are accounted for as direct financing leases. The Company records the direct financing lease receivables at their net investment, determined as the aggregate minimum lease payments and the estimated non-guaranteed residual value of the leased property less unearned income. The unearned income is recognized over the term of the related lease so as to produce a constant rate of return on the net investment in the asset. The Company’s investment in direct financing lease receivables is reduced over the applicable lease term to its non-guaranteed residual value by the portion of rent allocated to the direct financing lease receivables.
Allowance for Credit Losses
Under ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, the Company uses a real estate loss estimate model (“RELEM”) which estimates losses on its loans and direct financing lease receivable portfolio, for purposes of calculating allowances for credit losses. The RELEM allows the Company to refine (on an ongoing basis) the expected loss estimate by incorporating asset-specific assumptions as necessary, such as anticipated funding, interest payments, estimated extensions and estimated loan repayment/refinancing at maturity to estimate cash flows over the life of the loan or direct financing lease receivable. The model also incorporates assumptions related to underlying collateral values, various loss scenarios, and predicted losses to estimate expected losses. The Company's specific asset-level inputs include loan-to-stabilized-value (“LTV”), principal balance, property type, location, coupon, origination year, term, subordination, expected repayment date and future funding. The Company categorizes the results by LTV range, which it considers the most significant indicator of credit quality for its loans and direct financing lease receivables. A lower LTV ratio typically indicates a lower credit loss risk.
The Company also evaluates each loan and direct financing lease receivable measured at amortized cost for credit deterioration at least quarterly. Credit deterioration occurs when it is deemed probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan or direct financing lease receivable.
The Company's allowance for credit losses is adjusted to reflect its estimation of the current and future economic conditions that impact the performance of the real estate assets securing its loans. These estimations include various macroeconomic factors impacting the likelihood and magnitude of potential credit losses for the Company's loans and direct financing lease receivables during their anticipated term. Changes in the Company's allowance for credit losses are presented within change in provision for credit losses in its consolidated statements of operations.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
If circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable, the Company reviews the property for impairment. This review is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition. These estimates consider factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends, and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property for properties to be held and used. For properties held for sale, the impairment loss is the adjustment to fair value less estimated cost to dispose of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are recorded directly within our consolidated statements of operations.

equivalents. The Company deposits cash with high quality financial institutions. These deposits are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to an insurance limit.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $
126.2
million and $
60.2
million, respectively, of which $
125.7
million and $
59.7
million, respectively, were not insured by the FDIC. Although the Company bears risk with respect to amounts not insured by the FDIC, it has not experienced and does not anticipate any losses as a result due to the high quality of the financial institutions where balances are held.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash primarily consists of cash proceeds from the sale of assets held by a qualified intermediary to facilitate tax-deferred exchange transactions under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
Forward Equity Sales
The Company has and may continue to enter into forward sale agreements relating to shares of its common stock, either through its ATM Program (as defined herein) or through underwritten public offerings. These agreements may be physically settled in stock, settled in cash or net share settled at the Company’s election.
The Company evaluated its forward sale agreements and concluded they meet the conditions to be classified within stockholders’ equity. Prior to settlement, a forward sale agreement will be reflected in the diluted net income per share calculations using the treasury stock method. Under this method, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock used in calculating diluted net income per share is deemed to be increased by the excess, if any, of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that would be issued upon full physical settlement of such forward sale agreement over the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that could be purchased by the Company in the market (based on the average market price during the reporting period) using the proceeds receivable upon full physical settlement (based on the adjusted forward sale price at the end of the reporting period). Consequently, prior to settlement of a forward sale agreement, there will be no dilutive effect on the Company’s net income per share except during periods when the average market price of the Company’s common stock is above the adjusted forward sale price. However, upon settlement of a forward sale agreement, if the Company elects to physically settle or net share settle such forward sale agreement, delivery of the Company’s shares will result in dilution to the Company’s net income per share.
Deferred Financing Costs
Financing costs related to establishing the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) were deferred and are being amortized as an increase to interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the term of the facility and are reported as a component of rent receivables, prepaid expenses and other assets, net on the consolidated balance sheets.
Financing costs related to the incurrence of borrowings under the Company’s unsecured term loans and the issuance of senior unsecured notes were deferred and are being amortized as an increase to interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the term of the related debt instrument and are reported as a reduction of the related debt balance on the consolidated balance sheets.
Derivative Instruments
In the normal course of business, the Company uses derivative financial instruments, which may include interest rate swaps, caps, options, floors and other interest rate derivative contracts, to protect the Company against adverse fluctuations in interest rates by reducing its exposure to variability in cash flows on a portion of the Company’s floating-rate debt. Instruments that meet these hedging criteria are formally designated as hedges at the inception of the derivative contract. The Company records all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of
13
Table of Contents
the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may also enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.
The accounting for subsequent changes in the fair value of these derivatives depends on whether each has been designed and qualifies for hedge accounting treatment. If a derivative is designated and qualifies for cash flow hedge accounting treatment, the change in the estimated fair value of the derivative is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income to the extent that it is effective. Any ineffective portion of a change in derivative fair value is immediately recorded in earnings. If the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting treatment (or for derivatives that do not qualify as hedges), any change in the fair value of such derivative instruments would be recognized immediately as a gain or loss on derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of operations.
Fair Value Measurement
The Company estimates the fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities based on the framework established in fair value accounting guidance. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The hierarchy described below prioritizes inputs to the valuation techniques used in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This hierarchy maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring the most observable inputs to be used when available. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s rental revenue is primarily rent received from tenants. Rent from tenants is recorded in accordance with the terms of each lease on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable initial term of the lease from the later of the date of the commencement of the lease and the date of acquisition of the property subject to the lease.
Rental revenue
recognition begins when the tenant controls the space and continues through the term of the related lease. Because substantially all of the leases provide for rental increases at specified intervals, the Company records a straight-line rent receivable and recognizes revenue on a straight-line basis through the expiration of the non-cancelable term of the lease. The Company considers whether the collectability of rents is reasonably assured in determining the amount of straight-line rent to record.
Generally, the Company’s leases provide the tenant with
one
or more multi-year renewal options, subject to generally the same terms and conditions provided under the initial lease term, including rent increases. If economic incentives make it reasonably certain that an option period to extend the lease will be exercised, the Company will include these options in determining the non-cancelable term of the lease.
The Company defers rental revenue related to lease payments received from tenants in advance of their due dates. These amounts are presented within accrued liabilities and other payables on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Certain properties in the Company’s investment portfolio are subject to leases that provide for contingent rent based on a percentage of the tenant’s gross sales. For these leases, the Company recognizes contingent rental revenue when the threshold upon which the contingent lease payment is based is actually reached.

Adjustment to Rental Revenue for Tenant Credit
The Company regularly reviews receivables related to rent and unbilled rent receivables and determines collectability by taking into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the leased property is located.
If the assessment of the collectability of substantially all payments due under a lease changes from probable to not probable, any difference between the rental revenue recognized to date and the lease payments that have been collected is recognized as a current period reduction of rental revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. Conversely, if the assessment of the collectability changes from not probable to probable, any difference is recognized as a current period increase of rental revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.

Offering Costs
In connection with the completion of equity offerings, the Company incurs legal, accounting and other offering-related costs. Such costs are deducted from the gross proceeds of each equity offering when the offering is completed.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company capitalized a total of $
93.5
million and $
93.0
million, respectively, of such costs, which are presented as a reduction of additional paid-in capital on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Income Taxes
The Company elected and qualified to be taxed as a REIT under sections 856 through 860 of the Code, commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2018. REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that 90% of ordinary “REIT taxable income” (as determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gains) be distributed. As a REIT, the Company will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent that it meets the organizational and operational requirements and its distributions equal or exceed REIT taxable income. For the period subsequent to the effective date of its REIT election, the Company continues to meet the organizational and operational requirements and expects distributions to exceed REIT taxable income. Accordingly, no provision has been made for U.S. federal income taxes. Even though the Company has elected and qualif ies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to state and local income and franchise taxes, and to federal income and excise tax on its undistributed income. Franchise taxes and federal excise taxes on the Company’s undistributed income, if any, are included in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through the Company's taxable REIT subsidiary is subject to U.S. federal, state, and local taxes.
The Company analyzes its tax filing positions in all of the U.S. federal, state and local tax jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as for all open tax years in such jurisdictions. The Company follows a two-step process to evaluate uncertain tax positions. Step one, recognition, occurs when an entity concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. Step two, measurement, determines the amount of benefit that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon settlement. Derecognition of a tax position that was previously recognized would occur when the Company
15
Table of Contents
subsequently determines that a tax position no longer meets the more-likely-than-not threshold of being sustained. The use of a valuation allowance as a substitute for derecognition of tax positions is prohibited.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had
no
accruals recorded for uncertain tax positions. The Company’s policy is to classify interest expense and penalties relating to taxes in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded de minimis interest or penalties relating to taxes, and there were
no
interest or penalties with respect to taxes accrued as of June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025. The 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021 taxable years remain open to examination by federal and/or state taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.
Equity-Based Compensation
The Company grants restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and long-term incentive plan units in its Operating Partnership ("LTIP Units") to its directors, executive officers and other employees that vest over specified time periods, subject to the recipient’s continued service. The Company also grants performance-based RSUs and performance-based LTIP Units to executive officers, the final number of which is determined based on objective and, with respect to performance-based RSUs issued prior to 2024, subjective performance conditions and which vest over multi-year periods, subject to the recipient’s continued service. LTIP Units are a class of partnership units issued by the Operating Partnership which are convertible into limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership ("OP Units") upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including, depending upon the particular LTIP Unit award, those relating to vesting periods, performance criteria and continued service.
The Company accounts for RSUs and LTIP Units in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires that such compensation be recognized in the financial statements based on its estimated grant-date fair value. The value of such awards is recognized as compensation expense in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations over the applicable service periods.
The Company recognizes compensation expense for equity-based compensation using the straight-line method based on the fair value of the award on the grant date. Forfeitures of equity-based compensation awards, if any, are recognized when they occur.
Variable Interest Entities
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) provides guidance for determining whether an entity is a VIE. VIEs are defined as entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. A VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the party that (i) has the power to control the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
The Company has concluded that the Operating Partnership is a VIE of which the Company is the primary beneficiary, as the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the Operating Partnership. Substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are held by the Operating Partnership. The assets and liabilities of the Operating Partnership are consolidated and reported as assets and liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Additionally, the Company has concluded that certain entities to which it has provided mortgage loans are VIEs because the entities' equity was not sufficient to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support.
The following table presents information about the Company’s mortgage loan-related VIEs as of the dates presented:

Recent Accounting Developments
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosures about a public company’s expenses and addresses requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses (e.g., purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) in commonly presented expense captions (e.g., cost of sales; selling, general, and administrative; and research and development. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company utilizes a real estate loss estimate model (i.e., a RELEM model), which estimates losses on loans and direct financing lease receivables for purposes of calculating an allowance for credit losses. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company recorded an allowance for credit losses of $
3.9
million and $
1.0
million, respectively, which is recorded within loans and direct financing receivables, net on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the Company’s allowance for credit losses are presented within change in provision for credit losses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Changes in the allowance for credit losses were primarily attributable to changes in global and asset-specific assumptions in our credit loss model, as well as changes in the size of the Company's loans and direct financing lease receivables portfolio.
The Company considers the ratio of loan to value ("LTV") to be a significant credit quality indicator for its loans and direct financing lease portfolio. The following table presents information about the LTV of the Company's loans and direct financing lease receivables measured at amortized cost as of June 30, 2026:

Real Estate Investments Held for Sale
The Company periodically evaluates its portfolio of real estate investments and may elect to dispose of investments considering criteria including, but not limited to, tenant concentration, tenant credit quality, tenant operation type (e.g., industry, sector or concept), unit-level financial performance, local market conditions and lease rates, associated indebtedness and asset location. Real estate investments held for sale are expected to be sold within twelve months.

Leases
As
Lessor
The Company’s investment properties are leased to tenants under long-term operating leases that typically include
one
or more tenant renewal options. The Company’s leases provide for annual base rental payments (generally payable in monthly installments) and generally provide for increases in rent based on fixed contractual terms or as a result of increases in the Consumer Price Index.
Substantially all of the leases are triple-net, which means that the lessees are responsible for paying all property operating expenses, including maintenance, insurance, utilities, property taxes and, if applicable, ground rent expense; therefore, the Company is generally not responsible for repairs or other capital expenditures related to the properties while the triple-net leases are in effect and, at the end of the lease term, the lessees are responsible for returning the property to the Company in a substantially similar condition as when they took possession. Some of the Company’s leases provide that in the event the Company wishes to sell the property subject to that lease, it first must offer the lessee the right to purchase the property on the same terms and conditions as any offer which it intends to accept for the sale of the property.
Scheduled future minimum base rent due to be received under the remaining non-cancelable term of operating leases in place as of June 30, 2026 were as follows:

Since lease renewal periods are exercisable at the option of the lessee, the preceding table presents future minimum base rental payments to be received during the initial non-cancelable lease term only. In addition, the future minimum lease payments exclude contingent rent payments, as applicable, that may be collected from certain tenants based on provisions related to gross sales thresholds and exclude increases in annual rent based on future changes in the Consumer Price Index, among other items.

As
Lessee
The Company has a number of ground leases, office leases and other equipment leases which are classified as operating leases. As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s right of use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities were $
11.7
million and $
13.3
million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s ROU assets and lease liabilities were $
8.7
million and $
8.8
million, respectively. These amounts are included in
rent receivables, prepaid expenses and other assets, net
and
accrued liabilities and other payables
on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
25
Table of Contents
The discount rate applied to measure each ROU asset and lease liability is based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate ("IBR"). The Company considers the general economic environment and its historical borrowing activity and factors in various financing and asset specific adjustments to ensure the IBR is appropriate to the intended use of the underlying lease. As the Company did not elect to apply hindsight, lease term assumptions determined under ASC 840 were carried forward and applied in calculating the lease liabilities recorded under ASC 842. Certain of the Company’s ground leases offer renewal options which it assesses against relevant economic factors to determine whether it is reasonably certain of exercising or not exercising the option. Lease payments associated with renewal periods that the Company is reasonably certain will be exercised, if any, are included in the measurement of the corresponding lease liability and ROU asset.

Revolving Credit Facility and Credit Facility Term Loans
Revolving Credit Facility.
In February 2025, the Company, through the Operating Partnership, entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) with a group of lenders, amending and restating the terms of the Company’s previous credit facility (the "Prior Credit Agreement") to, among other things, increase the maximum aggregate initial original principal amount of the revolving loans available thereunder from $
600.0
million to $
1.0
billion (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).
The Revolving Credit Facility matures in February 2029, with
two
extension options of
six months
each, exercisable by the Operating Partnership, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The loans under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at an annual rate of applicable Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin. The Adjusted Term SOFR is a rate for a term equivalent to
27
Table of Contents
the interest period applicable to the relevant borrowing. In addition, the Operating Partnership is required to pay a revolving facility fee throughout the term of the Revolving Credit Facility.
Credit Facility Term Loans.
The Amended Credit Facility also provides for
three
separate term loans, as further described below, with an aggregate principal amount of $
1.3
billion (the "CF Term Loans").
2028 Term Loan.
In July 2022, the Prior Credit Agreement was amended to provide for $
400.0
million of second tranche term loans (the “2028 Term Loan”).
Loans under the 2028 Term Loan in an aggregate principal amount of $
400.0
million were drawn in 2022 and the 2028 Term Loan matures in January 2028.
2029 Term Loan.
In August 2023, the Prior Credit Agreement was amended to provide for an additional $
450.0
million of term loans (the "2029 Term Loan"). Loans under the 2029 Term Loan in an aggregate principal amount of $
450.0
million were drawn in 2023. The 2029 Term Loan has an original maturity of
three years
, which may be extended, at the Operating Partnership's election, to February 2029 by exercising
two
one-year
extension options and a
six-month
extension option, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
2030 Term Loan
. In July 2024, the Prior Credit Agreement was further amended to provide for an additional $
450.0
million of term loans (the "2030 Term Loan"). Loans under the 2030 Term Loan in an aggregate principal amount of $
450.0
million were drawn in 2024. The 2030 Term Loan has an original maturity of
three years
, which may be extended, at the Operating Partnership's election, to January 2030 by exercising
two
one-year
extension options and a
six-month
extension option, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
The CF Term Loans bear interest at an annual rate of applicable Adjusted Term SOFR plus an applicable margin.
Each of the Revolving Credit Facility and the CF Term Loans is freely pre-payable at any time. Outstanding credit extensions under the Revolving Credit Facility are mandatorily payable if the amount of such credit extensions exceeds the revolving facility limit. The Operating Partnership may re-borrow amounts paid down on the Revolving Credit Facility prior to its maturity, but any loans repaid under the CF Term Loans cannot be reborrowed.
The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the Amended Credit Agreement, and the Company and certain of its subsidiaries that own direct or indirect interests in an eligible real property assets are guarantors under the Amended Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company is subject to various restrictive financial and nonfinancial covenants which, among other things, require the Company to maintain certain leverage ratios, cash flow and debt service coverage ratios and secured borrowing ratios.
The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants and was not in default of any provisions under the Amended Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Derivative and Hedging Activities
The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The Company's objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
These derivatives are considered cash flow hedges and are recorded on a gross basis at fair value. Assessments of hedge effectiveness are performed quarterly using either a qualitative or quantitative approach. The Company recognizes the entire change in the fair value in accumulated other comprehensive loss and the change is reflected as derivative changes in fair value in the supplemental disclosures of non-cash financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss will subsequently be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company's borrowings under its variable-rate term loan facilities. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that $
3.3
million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss as a decrease to interest expense. The Company does not have netting arrangements related to its derivatives.
The use of derivative financial instruments carries certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements are not able to perform under the agreements. To mitigate this risk, the Company only enters into derivative financial instruments with counterparties with high credit ratings and with major financial institutions with which the Company and its affiliates may also have other financial relationships. The Company does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations to the Company. As of June 30, 2026, there were no events of default related to the Company's derivative financial instruments.

Holders of OP Units and vested LTIP Units have the right to distributions per unit equal to dividends per share paid on the Company’s common stock. Vested LTIP Unit holders have the right to convert LTIP Units into OP Units on a
one
-for-one basis, provided, however, that such LTIP Units must have been held for at least
two years
following their initial grant date. OP Unit holders have the right to redeem OP Units for cash or, at the Company’s election, shares of the Company’s common stock on a
one
-for-one basis. Distributions to OP Unit holders and vested LTIP Unit holders are declared and paid concurrently with the Company’s cash dividends to common stockholders. See Note 7—Equity for details.

Performance-Based Awards
. The Company issues grants of performance-based RSUs and LTIP Units to the Company’s senior management team under the Equity Incentive Plans. Of these awards,
75
%, in the case of performance-based RSU awards issued in 2022 and 2023, and
100
%, in the case of awards issued subsequent to 2023, are non-vested RSUs or LTIP Units for which vesting percentages and the ultimate number of units vesting is calculated based on the total stockholder return (“TSR”) of the Company’s common stock as compared to the TSR of peer companies identified in the grant agreements over the relevant performance period. The payout schedule can produce vesting percentages ranging from
0
% to
250
% of target. TSR is calculated over the performance period for each award based upon the average closing price for the
20
-trading day period ending December 31st of the year prior to grant divided by the average closing price for the
20
-trading day period ending December 31st of the third year following the grant. The target number of units is based on achieving a TSR equal to the
50
th percentile of the peer group. The Company records expense on these TSR RSUs and LTIP Units based on achieving the target.
The following table summarizes the Company’s performance-based RSU and LTIP Unit grants at target during the relevant periods:

The remaining
25
% of the performance-based RSUs issued in 2022 and 2023 vest based on the Compensation Committee's subjective evaluation of the individual recipient’s achievement of certain strategic objectives over the relevant performance period of the award. In February 2025 and 2026, the Compensation Committee identified specific performance targets and completed its subjective evaluation in relation to the performance-based RSUs issued in 2022 and 2023 and concluded that
85,114
and
87,465
RSUs, respectively, should be awarded.
50
% of these RSUs vested immediately upon the Compensation Committee's certification and the remaining
50
% vested or will vest on the December 31st following the Compensation Committee's certification, subject to the recipient's continued provision of service to the Company through such date. The Company began

recording compensation expense with respect to these subjective performance-based RSUs granted in 2022 and 2023 after the completion of the Compensation Committee's subjective evaluation.
January 2022 Performance-Based Award
. In January 2022, the Company issued
69,372
performance-based RSUs (at target) to an executive officer under the Equity Incentive Plans. The payout of this RSU award was determined by reference to the compound annual growth rate of the Company’s adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO CAGR") over a
four year
performance period that ended on December 31, 2025, and the payout schedule could produce vesting percentages ranging from
0
% to
200
% of target. Based on the Company's actual performance through the performance period ended December 31, 2025, this award vested at
200
% of target.
50
% of these RSUs vested in January 2026, and the remaining
50
% will vest in January 2027, subject to the recipient's continued provision of service to the Company through such date. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, based on the Company's actual AFFO CAGR performance during the performance period, and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, based on the Company's AFFO CAGR forecast for the performance period, the Company concluded that achievement of the maximum performance level was probable and recorded compensation expense based on these actual or forecasted AFFO CAGRs.
Service-Based Awards
. The Company also issues RSUs and LTIP Units to the Company’s executive officers, other employees and directors under the Equity Incentive Plans which vest over a period of up to
five years
from the date of grant, subject to the individual recipient’s continued provision of service to the Company through the applicable vesting dates.

Alignment of Interest Program.
Under the Company's Alignment of Interest Program (the “AIP”) adopted in February 2026, certain senior-level employees of the Company may elect to defer some or all of their future cash bonuses into RSUs or LTIP Units and, depending on the deferral period, receive additional equity awards, with the equity awards subject to service-based vesting conditions. Such awards vest over periods ranging from
zero
to
five years
in accordance with the terms of the applicable grant agreements. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award, which commences in the performance year to which the bonus relates. The awards under the AIP are accounted for as liability-classified awards as the service inception date precedes the accounting grant date. The awards will be re-classified as equity-classified awards following the accounting grant date. Accordingly, the awards are measured at fair value and accrued over the applicable service period. The total estimated fair value of the elections made for 2026 under the AIP was $
2.1
million as of June 30, 2026. The awards are remeasured to fair value at each reporting period until the unvested RSUs or LTIP Units are granted. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized compensation expense of $
0.1
million and $
0.2
million, respectively, associated with these awards.

Net Income Per Share
The Company computes net income per share pursuant to the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 260,
Earnings Per Share
. The guidance requires the classification of the Company’s unvested RSUs and LTIP Units which contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents as participating securities requiring the two-class method of computing net income per share. Diluted net income per share of common stock further considers the effect of potentially dilutive shares of common stock outstanding during the period, including the assumed vesting of RSUs and LTIP Units with a market-based or service-based vesting condition, where dilutive. The OP Units and vested LTIP Units held by non-controlling interests represent potentially dilutive securities as the vested LTIP Units may be redeemed for OP Units and the OP Units may be redeemed for cash or, at the Company’s election, exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock on a
one
-for-one basis.

Fair Value Measurements
GAAP establishes a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the observability of inputs used in measuring financial instruments at fair value. GAAP establishes market-based or observable inputs as the preferred source of values, followed by valuation models using management assumptions in the absence of market inputs.
The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures regularly and, depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from period to period. However, the Company expects that changes in classifications between levels will be rare.
In addition to the disclosures for assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value at the balance sheet date, companies are required to disclose the estimated fair values of all financial instruments, even if they are
37
Table of Contents
not presented at their fair value on the consolidated balance sheet. The fair values of financial instruments are estimates based upon market conditions and perceived risks as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. These estimates require management’s judgment and may not be indicative of the future fair values of the assets and liabilities.
Financial assets and liabilities for which the carrying values approximate their fair values include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable included within rent receivables, prepaid expenses and other assets, net, dividends payable and accrued liabilities and other payables. Generally, these assets and liabilities are short term in duration and their carrying value approximates fair value on the consolidated balance sheets.
The estimated fair values of the Company’s fixed-rate loans receivable have been derived based on primarily unobservable market inputs such as interest rates and discounted cash flow analyses using estimates of the amount and timing of future cash flows, market rates and credit spreads. These measurements are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The Company believes the carrying value of its fixed-rate loans receivable approximates fair value as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
The estimated fair values of the Company’s borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, the 2027 Term Loan and the CF Term Loans have been derived based on primarily unobservable market inputs such as interest rates and discounted cash flow analyses using estimates of the amount and timing of future cash flows, market rates and credit spreads. These measurements are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The Company believes the carrying value of its borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, the 2027 Term Loan and the CF Term Loans as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 approximate fair value.
The Company measures the fair value of its Senior Notes and derivative financial instruments on a recurring basis.

Long Lived Assets
The Company reviews its investments in real estate when events or circumstances change indicating that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the evaluation of an investment in real estate for impairment, many factors are considered, including estimated current and expected operating cash flows from the asset during the projected holding period, costs necessary to extend the life or improve the asset, expected capitalization rates, projected stabilized net operating income, selling costs, and the ability to hold and dispose of the asset in the ordinary course of business.
Quantitative information about Level 3 fair value measurements as of June 30, 2026 is as follows:

The fair values of impaired real estate were determined by using the following information, depending on availability, in order of preference: (i) signed purchase and sale agreements or letters of intent; (ii) recently quoted bid or ask prices; (iii) estimates of future cash flows, which consider, among other things, contractual and forecasted rental revenues, leasing assumptions, terminal capitalization rates, discount rates and expenses based upon market conditions; or (iv) expectations for the use of the real estate. Based on these inputs, the Company determined that its valuation of the impaired real estate falls within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we refer to Essential Properties Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including its operating partnership, Essential Properties, L.P., as “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company,” unless we specifically state otherwise or the context otherwise requires.
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In particular, many statements pertaining to our business and growth strategies, investment, financing and leasing activities, and trends in our business, including trends in the market for long-term, net leases of freestanding, single-tenant properties, contain forward-looking statements. When used in this quarterly report, the words “estimate,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seek,” “approximately,” and “plan,” and variations of such words, and similar words or phrases, that are predictions of future events or trends and that do not relate solely to historical matters, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans, beliefs or intentions of management.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the results of operations or plans expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements; accordingly, you should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions, data or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise, and may not be realized. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:
•
general business and economic conditions, including those impacting the domestic labor market, and factors such as tariffs impacting international trade;
•
risks inherent in the real estate business, including tenant defaults or bankruptcies, illiquidity of real estate investments, fluctuations in real estate values and the general economic climate in local markets, competition for tenants in such markets, potential liability relating to environmental matters and potential damages from natural disasters;
•
the performance and financial condition of our tenants;
•
the availability of suitable properties to acquire and our ability to acquire and lease those properties on favorable terms;
•
our ability to renew leases, lease vacant space or re-lease space as existing leases expire or are terminated;
•
volatility and uncertainty in financial markets, in particular the equity and credit markets, fluctuations in the Consumer Price Index, and the impact of inflation on us and our tenants;
•
the degree and nature of our competition;
•
our failure to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness;
•
our ability to access debt and equity capital on attractive terms;
•
fluctuating interest rates;
•
availability of qualified personnel and our ability to retain our key management personnel;
•
changes in, or the failure or inability to comply with, applicable law or regulation;
•
our failure to continue to qualify for taxation as a real estate investment trust ("REIT");
•
changes in the U.S. tax law and other U.S. laws, whether or not specific to REITs; and
40
Table of Contents
•
additional factors discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this quarterly report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this quarterly report. While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future events or of our performance. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events or other changes, except as required by law.
Because we operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment, new risks emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such risks, nor can management assess the impact of all such risks on our business or the extent to which any risk, or combination of risks, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual events or results.
Overview
We are an internally managed real estate company that acquires, owns and manages primarily single-tenant properties that are net leased on a long-term basis to middle-market companies operating service-oriented or experience-based businesses. We generally invest in and lease freestanding, single-tenant commercial real estate facilities where a tenant services its customers and conducts activities that are essential to the generation of the tenant’s sales and profits. As of June 30, 2026, 91.6% of our $604.9 million of annualized base rent was attributable to properties operated by tenants in service-oriented and experience-based businesses. "Annualized base rent" means annualized contractually specified cash base rent in effect on June 30, 2026 for all of our leases (including those accounted for as loans or direct financing leases) commenced as of that date and annualized cash interest on our mortgage loans receivable as of that date.
We were organized on January 12, 2018 as a Maryland corporation. We elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with the year ended December 31, 2018, and we believe that our current organization, operations and intended distributions will allow us to continue to so qualify. Our common stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “EPRT”.
Our primary business objective is to maximize stockholder value by generating attractive risk-adjusted returns through owning, managing and growing a diversified portfolio of commercially desirable properties. As of June 30, 2026, we had a portfolio of 2,493 properties (inclusive of one undeveloped land parcel and 152 properties which secure our investments in mortgage loans receivable) that was diversified by tenant, industry, concept and geography, had annualized base rent of $604.9 million and was 99.6% occupied. Our portfolio is built based on the following core investment attributes:
Diversification.
As of June 30, 2026, our portfolio was 99.6% occupied by tenants operating 715 different brands, or concepts, across 48 states, with none of our tenants contributing more than 3.1% of our annualized base rent. Our goal is that, over time, no more than 5% of our annualized base rent will be derived from any single tenant or more than 1% from any single property.
Long Lease Term.
As of June 30, 2026, our leases had a weighted average remaining lease term of 14.3 years (based on annualized base rent), with 2.3% of our annualized base rent attributable to leases expiring prior to January 1, 2029. Our properties generally are subject to long-term net leases that we believe provide us a stable base of revenue from which to grow our portfolio.
Significant Use of Sale-Leaseback Investments.
We seek to acquire properties owned and operated by middle-market businesses and lease the properties back to the operators pursuant to our standard lease form. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, 92% of our investments were sale-leaseback transactions.
Significant Use of Master Leases.
As of June 30, 2026, 64.6% of our annualized base rent was attributable to master leases.
Contractual Base Rent Escalation.
As of June 30, 2026, 97.1% of our leases (based on annualized base rent) provided for increases in future base rent at a weighted average rate of 1.9% per year.

Smaller, Low Basis Single-Tenant Properties.
We generally invest in freestanding “small-box” single- tenant properties. As of June 30, 2026, our average investment per property was $3.1 million (which equals our aggregate investment in our properties (including transaction costs, lease incentives and amounts funded for construction in progress) divided by the number of properties owned at such date), and we believe investments of similar size allow us to grow our portfolio without concentrating a large amount of capital in individual properties and limit our exposure to events that may adversely affect a particular property. Additionally, we believe that many of our properties are generally fungible and appropriate for multiple commercial uses, which reduces the risk that a particular property may become obsolete and enhances our ability to sell a property if we choose to do so.
Healthy Rent Coverage Ratio and Tenant Financial Reporting.
As of June 30, 2026, our portfolio’s weighted average rent coverage ratio was 3.5x, and 99.2% of our leases (based on annualized base rent) obligate the tenant to periodically provide us with specified unit-level financial reporting. "Rent coverage ratio" means, as of a specified date, the ratio of (x) tenant-reported or, when unavailable, management's estimate (based on tenant-reported financial information) of annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and cash rent attributable to the leased property (or properties, in the case of a master lease) to (y) the annualized base rental obligation.
Our Competitive Strengths
We believe the following competitive strengths distinguish us from our competitors and allow us to compete effectively in the single-tenant, net-lease market:
Carefully Constructed Portfolio of Properties Leased to Service-Oriented or Experience-Based Tenants.
We have strategically constructed a portfolio that is diversified by tenant, industry, concept and geography and generally avoids exposure to businesses that we believe are subject to pressure from e-commerce. Our properties are generally subject to long-term net leases that we believe provide us with a stable and predictable base of revenue from which to grow our portfolio. As of June 30, 2026, we had a portfolio of 2,493 properties, with annualized base rent of $604.9 million, which was purposefully selected by our management team in accordance with our focused and disciplined investment strategy. Our portfolio is diversified with our tenants operating 715 different concepts across 48 states. No single tenant contributed more than 3.1% of our annualized base rent as of June 30, 2026, consistent with our strategy of having a scaled portfolio that, over time, allows us to derive no more than 5% of our annualized base rent from any single tenant or more than 1% from any single property.
We believe that our portfolio’s diversity and the rigorous underwriting process we utilize decrease the impact on us of an adverse event affecting an individual tenant, industry or region. Our focus on leasing to tenants in industries where the leased properties are essential to generating the tenants' revenues and profits (and that we believe are well-positioned to withstand competition from e-commerce) increases the stability and predictability of our rental revenue.
Differentiated Investment Strategy.
We seek to acquire and lease freestanding, single-tenant commercial real estate facilities where a tenant services its customers and conducts activities at the property that are essential to the generation of its sales and profits. We primarily seek to invest in properties leased to unrated middle-market companies that we determine have attractive credit characteristics and stable operating histories. We believe middle-market companies are underserved from a capital perspective and that we can offer them attractive real estate financing solutions while allowing us to enter into lease agreements that provide us with attractive risk-adjusted returns. Furthermore, many net-lease transactions with middle-market companies involve properties that are individually relatively small, which allows us to avoid concentrating a large amount of capital in individual properties. We maintain close relationships with our tenants, which we believe allows us to source additional investments and become the capital provider of choice as our tenants’ businesses grow and their real estate needs increase.
Disciplined Underwriting Leading to Strong Portfolio Characteristics.
We generally seek to invest in single assets or portfolios of assets through transactions which range in aggregate purchase price from $2 million to $100 million. Our size allows us to focus on investing in a segment of the market that we believe is underserved from a capital perspective and where we can originate or acquire relatively smaller assets on attractive terms that provide meaningful growth to our portfolio. In addition, we seek to invest in commercially desirable properties that are suitable for use by different tenants, offer attractive risk-adjusted returns and possess characteristics that reduce our real estate investment risks.

Experienced and Proven Management Team.
Our senior management has significant experience in the net lease industry and a track record of growing net lease businesses to significant scale.
Our senior management team has been responsible for our focused and disciplined investment strategy and for developing and implementing our investment sourcing, underwriting, closing and asset management infrastructure, which we believe can support significant investment growth without a proportionate increase in our operating expenses. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, 92% of our new investments in real estate were attributable to internally originated sale-leaseback transactions and 64% of our new investments were consummated with parties who had previously engaged in one or more transactions that involved a member of our senior management team (including operators and tenants and other participants in the net lease industry, such as brokers, intermediaries and financing sources). The substantial experience, knowledge and relationships of our senior leadership team provide us with an extensive network of contacts that we believe allows us to originate attractive investment opportunities and effectively grow our business.
Scalable Platform Allows for Significant Growth.
Building on our senior leadership team’s experience in net-lease real estate investing, we have developed leading origination, underwriting, financing and property management capabilities. Our platform is scalable, and we seek to leverage our capabilities to improve our efficiency and processes to continue to seek attractive risk- adjusted growth. While we expect that our general and administrative expenses could increase as our portfolio grows, we expect that such expenses as a percentage of our portfolio and our revenues will decrease over time due to efficiencies and economies of scale.
Extensive Tenant Financial Reporting Supports Active Asset Management.
We seek to enter into lease agreements that obligate our tenants to periodically provide us with corporate and/or unit-level financial reporting, which we believe enhances our ability to actively monitor our investments, manage credit risk, negotiate lease renewals and proactively manage our portfolio to protect stockholder value. As of June 30, 2026, leases contributing 99.2% of our annualized base rent required tenants to provide us with specified unit-level financial information, and leases contributing 98.7% of our annualized base rent required tenants to provide us with corporate-level financial reporting.
Our Business and Growth Strategies
Our primary business objective is to maximize stockholder value by generating attractive risk-adjusted returns through owning, managing and growing a diversified portfolio of commercially desirable properties. We intend to pursue our objective through the following business and growth strategies.
Structure and Manage Our Diverse Portfolio with Focused and Disciplined Underwriting and Risk Management.
We seek to maintain the stability of our rental revenue and maximize the long-term return on our investments while continuing our growth by using our focused and disciplined underwriting and risk management expertise. When underwriting assets, we focus on commercially desirable properties, with strong operating performance, healthy rent coverage ratios and tenants with attractive credit characteristics.
•
Leasing
. In general, we seek to enter into leases with (i) relatively long terms (typically with initial terms of 15 years or more and tenant renewal options); (ii) attractive rent escalation provisions; (iii) healthy rent coverage ratios; and (iv) tenant obligations to periodically provide us with financial information, which provides us with information about the operating performance of the leased property and/or tenant and allows us to actively monitor the security of payments under the lease on an ongoing basis. We strongly prefer to use master lease structures, pursuant to which we lease multiple properties to a single tenant on a unitary (i.e., “all or none”) basis. In addition, in the context of our sale-leaseback investments, we generally seek to establish contract rents that are at or below prevailing market rents, which we believe enhances tenant retention and reduces our releasing risk if a lease is rejected in a bankruptcy proceeding or expires.
•
Diversification
. We monitor and manage the diversification of our portfolio in order to reduce the risks associated with adverse developments affecting a particular tenant, property, industry or region. Our strategy targets a portfolio that, over time, will (1) derive no more than 5% of its annualized base rent from any single tenant or more than 1% of its annualized base rent from any single property, (2) be primarily leased to tenants operating in service-oriented or experience- based businesses and (3) avoid significant industry, concept or geographic concentration. While we consider these criteria when making investments, we may be opportunistic in managing our business and make investments that do not meet one or more of these criteria if we believe the opportunity presents an attractive risk-adjusted return.

•
Asset Management.
We are an active asset manager and regularly review each of our properties to evaluate various factors, including, but not limited to, changes in the business performance at the property, credit of the tenant and local real estate market conditions. Among other things, we use Moody’s Analytics RiskCalc, which is a model for predicting private company defaults based on Moody’s Analytics Credit Research Database, to proactively detect credit deterioration. Additionally, we monitor market rents relative to in-place rents and the amount of tenant capital expenditures in order to refine our tenant retention and alternative use assumptions. Our management team utilizes our internal credit diligence to monitor the credit profile of each of our tenants on an ongoing basis. We believe that this proactive approach enables us to identify and address issues in a timely manner and to determine whether there are properties in our portfolio that are appropriate for disposition.
•
In addition, as part of our active portfolio management, we may selectively dispose of assets that we conclude do not offer a return commensurate with the investment risk, contribute to unwanted geographic, industry or tenant concentrations, or may be sold at a price we determine is attractive. We believe that our underwriting processes and active asset management enhance the stability of our rental revenue by reducing default losses and increasing the likelihood of lease renewals.
Focus on Relationship-Based Sourcing to Grow Our Portfolio by Originating Sale-Leaseback Transactions.
We plan to continue our disciplined growth by originating sale-leaseback transactions and opportunistically making acquisitions of properties subject to net leases that contribute to our portfolio’s tenant, industry and geographic diversification. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, 92% of our new investments in real estate were attributable to internally originated sale-leaseback transactions and 64% of our new investments were consummated with parties who had previously engaged in one or more transactions that involved a member of our senior management team (including operators and tenants and other participants in the net lease industry, such as brokers, intermediaries and financing sources). In addition, we seek to enhance our relationships with our tenants to facilitate investment opportunities, including selectively agreeing to reimburse certain of our tenants for development costs at our properties in exchange for contractually specified rent that generally increases proportionally with our funding. We believe our senior management team’s reputation, in-depth market knowledge and extensive network of longstanding relationships in the net lease industry provide us access to an ongoing pipeline of attractive investment opportunities.
Focus on Middle-Market Companies in Service-Oriented or Experience-Based Businesses.
We primarily focus on investing in properties that we lease on a long-term, triple-net basis to middle- market companies that we determine have attractive credit characteristics and stable operating histories. Properties leased to middle-market companies may offer us the opportunity to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns as a result of our extensive and disciplined credit and real estate analysis, lease structuring and portfolio composition. We believe our capital solutions are attractive to middle- market companies, as such companies often have limited financing options as compared to larger, credit rated organizations. We also believe that, in many cases, smaller transactions with middle- market companies will allow us to maintain and grow our portfolio’s diversification. Middle-market companies are often willing to enter into leases with structures and terms that we consider attractive (such as master leases and leases that require ongoing tenant financial reporting) and believe contribute to the stability of our rental revenue.
In addition, we emphasize investments in properties leased to tenants engaged in service-oriented or experience-based businesses, such as car washes, restaurants (primarily quick service restaurants), early childhood education, medical and dental services, convenience stores, automotive services, equipment rental, entertainment and health and fitness, as we believe these businesses are generally more insulated from e-commerce pressure than many others.
Internal Growth Through Long-Term Triple-Net Leases That Provide for Periodic Rent Escalations.
We seek to enter into long-term (typically with initial terms of 15 years or more and tenant renewal options), triple-net leases that provide for periodic contractual rent escalations. As of June 30, 2026, our leases had a weighted average remaining lease term of 14.3 years (based on annualized base rent), with only 2.3% of our annualized base rent attributable to leases expiring prior to January 1, 2029, and 97.1% of our leases (based on annualized base rent) provided for increases in future base rent at a weighted average of 1.9% per year.
Actively Manage Our Balance Sheet to Maximize Capital Efficiency.
We seek to maintain a prudent balance between debt and equity financing and to maintain funding sources that lock in long-term investment spreads and limit interest rate sensitivity. We target a level of pro forma net debt that, over time, is generally less
44
Table of Contents
than 5.5 times our annualized adjusted EBITDA
re
(as defined in "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below). We seek to maintain access to multiple sources of debt capital, including the investment grade-rated unsecured bond market and bank debt, through our revolving credit facility and our unsecured term loan facilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2026, the net investment value of our income property portfolio totaled $7.1 billion, consisting of investments in 2,493 properties (inclusive of one undeveloped land parcel and 152 properties which secure our investments in mortgage loans receivable), with annualized base rent of $604.9 million. Substantially all of our cash from operations is generated by our investment portfolio.
The liquidity requirements for operating our Company consist primarily of funding our investment activities, servicing our outstanding indebtedness and paying our general and administrative expenses and dividends and distributions as declared by our board of directors. The occupancy level of our portfolio is high (99.6% as of June 30, 2026) and, because substantially all of our leases are triple-net (whereby our tenants are generally responsible for all maintenance costs for operating the property, and insurance and property taxes associated with the leased properties), our liquidity requirements are not significantly impacted by property costs. When a property becomes vacant, we are required to pay the property costs not paid by a tenant, as well as those property costs accruing during the time it takes to locate a new tenant or to sell the property. As of June 30, 2026, nine of our investment properties were vacant, less than 1% of our portfolio, and all remaining properties were subject to a lease (excluding one undeveloped land parcel) or mortgage loan receivable. We expect to incur property costs from time to time in periods during which properties that become vacant are being marketed for lease or sale. In addition, we may recognize an expense for certain property costs, such as real estate taxes billed in arrears, if we believe the tenant is likely to vacate the property before making payment on those obligations. The amount of such property costs can vary quarter-to-quarter based on the timing of property vacancies and the level of underperforming properties; however, we do not expect that such costs will be significant to our operations.
We intend to continue to grow through additional investments in stand-alone single tenant properties. To accomplish this objective, we seek to invest in real estate utilizing a combination of debt and equity capital and with cash from operations that we do not distribute to our stockholders. When we sell properties, we generally reinvest the cash proceeds in new single tenant properties. Our short-term liquidity requirements also include the funding needs associated with 67 properties where we have agreed to reimburse the tenant for certain development, construction, or renovation costs or to provide construction financing in exchange for contractual payments of interest or increased rent that generally increases in proportion with our level of funding. As of June 30, 2026, we agreed to provide construction financing or reimburse the tenant for certain development, construction and renovation costs in an aggregate amount of $331.5 million, and, as of such date, we have funded $209.7 million of this commitment. We expect to fund the remaining commitment totaling $121.8 million by June 30, 2027.
46
Table of Contents
Additionally, as of July 17, 2026, we were under contract to acquire seven properties with an aggregate purchase price of $31.8 million, subject to completion of our due diligence procedures and satisfaction of customary closing conditions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements, including our construction financing and tenant reimbursement obligations and potential investment in future single tenant properties, primarily with our cash and cash equivalents, net cash from operating activities, issuance of common stock subject to outstanding forward sale agreements, borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and potentially through proceeds generated from asset sales and our October 2024 ATM Program, under which we may offer and sell common stock with an aggregate gross sales price of up to $279.9 million as of July 17, 2026.
Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of the funds necessary to make additional investments and repay indebtedness. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through various sources of capital, including net cash from operating activities, borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, future debt financings, proceeds from the sale of our common stock and proceeds from the sale of selected properties in our portfolio. However, at any point in time, there may be a number of factors that could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to access these capital sources, including unfavorable conditions in the overall equity and credit markets, our level of leverage, the portion of our portfolio that is unencumbered, our credit ratings, borrowing restrictions imposed by our debt agreements, general market conditions for real estate and potentially REITs specifically, our operating performance, our liquidity and general market perceptions about us. The success of our business strategy will depend, to a significant degree, on our ability to access these various capital sources to fund our future investments and thereby grow our cash flows.
An additional liquidity need is funding the required level of distributions, generally 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain), that are among the requirements for us to continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT. Holders of OP Units and LTIP Units are entitled to distributions per unit equivalent to those paid by us per share of common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, our board of directors declared total cash distributions of $0.63 per share of common stock/OP Unit/LTIP Unit totaling $137.7 million and $70.2 million was payable as of June 30, 2026. To continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT, we must make distributions to our stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain. As a result of this requirement, we cannot rely on retained earnings to fund our business needs to the same extent as other entities that are not REITs. If we do not have sufficient funds available to us from our operations to fund our business needs, we will need to find alternative ways to fund those needs. Such alternatives may include, among other things, selling properties (whether or not the sales price is optimal or otherwise meets our strategic long-term objectives), incurring additional indebtedness or issuing equity securities in public or private transactions. The availability and attractiveness of the terms of these potential sources of financing cannot be assured.
Generally, our short-term debt capital needs are provided through the use of our Revolving Credit Facility. We manage our long-term leverage position through the issuance of long-term fixed-rate debt on an unsecured or secured basis. Generally, we will seek to issue long-term debt on an unsecured basis as we believe this facilitates greater flexibility in the management of our portfolio and our ability to retain optionality in our overall financing and growth strategy. By seeking to match the expected cash inflows from our long-term income producing investments with the expected cash outflows for our long-term debt, we seek to "lock in," for as long as is economically feasible, the expected positive spread between our scheduled cash inflows from our investments and the cash outflows on our debt obligations. In this way, we seek to reduce the risk that increases in interest rates would adversely impact our cash flows and results of operations. Our ability to execute leases that contain annual rent escalations also contributes to our ability to manage the risk of a rising interest rate environment. We use various financial instruments designed to mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations on our cash flows and earnings, including hedging strategies such as interest rate swaps and caps, depending on our analysis of the interest rate environment and the costs and risks of such strategies. Although we are not required to maintain a particular leverage ratio and may not be able to do so, we generally consider that a level of pro forma net debt (which includes recourse and non-recourse debt and any outstanding preferred stock, less cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash available for future investment and estimated proceeds from any unsettled forward sale agreements assuming full physical settlement) that, over time, is generally less than 5.5 times our annualized adjusted EBITDA
re
is prudent for a real estate company like ours.
As of June 30, 2026, all of our long-term debt was fixed-rate debt or was effectively converted to a fixed-rate for the term of the debt though hedging strategies, and our weighted average debt maturity was 4.6 years (after giving effect to extension options exercisable at our Operating Partnership's election). As we continue to invest in
47
Table of Contents
real estate properties and grow our real estate portfolio, we intend to manage our long-term debt maturities to reduce the risk that a significant amount of our debt will mature in any single year in the future.
Future sources of debt capital may include public issuances of senior unsecured notes, term loan borrowings and mortgage financing of a single-asset or a portfolio of assets. These sources of debt capital may offer us the opportunity to lower our cost of funding and further diversify our sources of debt capital. Over time, we may choose to issue preferred equity as a part of our overall strategy for funding our business. As our outstanding debt matures, we may refinance it as it comes due or choose to repay it using cash and cash equivalents or borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. We believe that the cash generated by our operations, together with our cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2026, our borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility, issuance of common stock subject to outstanding forward sale agreements, and our potential access to additional sources of capital, will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next 12 months, including investing in the real estate for which we currently have commitments, and the longer-term period thereafter.
Supplemental Guarantor Information
The Company and the Operating Partnership have filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC registering, among other securities, debt securities of the Operating Partnership, which, unless otherwise specified, will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. At June 30, 2026, the Operating Partnership had issued and outstanding $1.2 billion of senior notes. The obligations of the Operating Partnership under the Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior basis by the Company. The guarantee is full and unconditional, and the Operating Partnership is a consolidated subsidiary of the Company.
Pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, subsidiary issuers of obligations guaranteed by the parent are not required to provide separate financial statements, provided that the subsidiary obligor is consolidated into the parent company’s consolidated financial statements, the parent guarantee is “full and unconditional” and, subject to certain exceptions as set forth below, the alternative disclosure required by Rule 13-01 is provided, which includes narrative disclosure and summarized financial information. Accordingly, separate consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership have not been presented. Furthermore, as permitted under Rule 13-01(a)(4)(vi), the Company has excluded the summarized financial information for the Operating Partnership as the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Company and the Operating Partnership are not materially different than the corresponding amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements of the Company, and management believes such summarized financial information would be repetitive and not provide incremental value to investors.

Revolving Credit Facility and Credit Facility Term Loans
Through our Operating Partnership, we are party to an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a group of lenders, which was most recently amended on February 6, 2025 (the "Amended Credit Agreement"), and provides for revolving loans of up to $1.0 billion (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and an additional $1.3 billion of term loans, consisting of a $400.0 million term loan (the "2028 Term Loan"), a $450.0 million term loan (the “2029 Term Loan”) and a $450.0 million term loan (the "2030 Term Loan" and, together with the 2028 Term Loan and 2029 Term Loan, the “CF Term Loans”). All principal amounts available under the CF Term Loans were drawn as of June 30, 2026.
The Revolving Credit Facility has a fully-extended maturity date of February 6, 2030, after giving effect to two extension options of six months each, exercisable by the Operating Partnership, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The 2028 Term Loan matures on January 25, 2028, the 2029 Term Loan has an original maturity of three years, plus extension options at the Operating Partnership's election, which can extend the maturity to February 24, 2029 and the 2030 Term Loan has an original maturity of three years, plus extension options at the Operating Partnership's election, which can extend the maturity to January 11, 2030. The loans under each of the Revolving Credit Facility and the CF Term Loans bear interest at an annual rate of applicable Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin (which applicable margin varies between the Revolving Credit Facility and the CF Term Loans). The Adjusted Term SOFR is a rate with a term equivalent to the interest period applicable to the relevant borrowing. In addition, the Operating Partnership is required to pay a revolving facility fee throughout the term of the Revolving Credit Facility. The applicable margin and the revolving facility fee rate are a spread and rate, as applicable, set according to the credit ratings provided by S&P, Moody's and/or Fitch.
Each of the Revolving Credit Facility and the CF Term Loans is freely pre-payable at any time. Outstanding credit extensions under the Revolving Credit Facility are mandatorily payable if the amount of such credit extensions exceeds the revolving facility limit. The Operating Partnership may re-borrow amounts paid down on the Revolving Credit Facility prior to its maturity. Loans repaid under the CF Term Loans cannot be reborrowed. The Amended Credit Agreement has an accordion feature to increase, subject to certain conditions, the maximum availability of credit (either through increased revolving commitments or additional term loans) by up to $1.0 billion.
The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the Amended Credit Agreement, and we and certain of the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership that own a direct or indirect interest in an eligible real property asset are guarantors under the Amended Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, we are subject to customary restrictive financial and nonfinancial covenants which, among other things, require us to maintain certain leverage ratios, cash flow and debt service coverage ratios, secured borrowing ratios. As of June 30, 2026, we were in compliance with these covenants.
The Amended Credit Agreement also restricts our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders under certain circumstances. However, we may make distributions to the extent necessary to maintain our qualification as a REIT under the Code. In addition to the financial covenants described above, the Amended Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things and subject to exceptions, limit or restrict our ability to incur indebtedness and liens, consummate mergers or other fundamental changes, dispose of assets, make certain restricted payments, make certain investments, modify our organizational documents, transact with affiliates, change our fiscal periods, provide negative pledge clauses, make subsidiary distributions, enter into certain new lines of business or engage in certain activities, and fail to meet the requirements for taxation as a REIT.
2027 Term Loan
Through our Operating Partnership, we are party to a $430.0 million term loan (the “2027 Term Loan”) that matures in February 2027. The 2027 Term Loan bears interest at an annual rate of applicable Adjusted Term SOFR plus an applicable margin. The applicable Adjusted Term SOFR is the rate for a term equivalent to the interest period applicable to the relevant borrowing. The applicable margin is a spread set according to the Company’s corporate credit ratings provided by S&P, Moody’s and/or Fitch.
The 2027 Term Loan is pre-payable at any time by the Operating Partnership without penalty. The 2027 Term Loan has an accordion feature to increase, subject to certain conditions, the maximum availability of the facility up to an aggregate of $500.0 million.

Senior Unsecured Notes
In June 2021, the Operating Partnership issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 2.950% Senior Notes due 2031 (the "2031 Notes"), resulting in net proceeds of $396.6 million. In August 2025, the Operating Partnership issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.400% Senior Notes due 2035 (the "2035 Notes"), resulting in net proceeds of $390.7 million. In June 2026, the Operating Partnership issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.380% Senior Notes due 2036 (the "2036 Notes", and together with the 2031 Notes and the 2035 Notes, the "Senior Notes"), resulting in net proceeds of $389.9 million. The Senior Notes were issued by the Operating Partnership and the obligations of the Operating Partnership under the Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company.
The indenture and supplemental indentures creating the Senior Notes contain customary restrictive covenants, including limitations on our ability to incur additional secured and unsecured indebtedness. As of June 30, 2026, we were in compliance with these covenants.
Cash Flows
Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
As of June 30, 2026, we had $126.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and $8.1 million of restricted cash, as compared to $20.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $0.3 million restricted cash as of June 30, 2025.
Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2026
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, net cash provided by operating activities was $209.9 million and our net income was $134.4 million. Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily dependent upon the occupancy level of our portfolio, the rental rates specified in our leases, the interest on our loans and direct financing lease receivables, the collectability of rent and interest and the level of our operating expenses and general and administrative costs. Our cash inflows from operating activities reflect adjustments to net income for non-cash items of $85.2 million, including increases for i) depreciation and amortization of tangible, intangible and right of use real estate assets and amortization of deferred financing costs and other non-cash interest expense of $94.7 million, ii) our provision for impairment of real estate of $18.2 million, iii) non-cash equity-based compensation expense of $7.6 million, iv) adjustments to rental revenue for tenant credit of $4.3 million and v) the change in our provision for credit losses of $3.3 million, reduced by i) our $10.0 million gain on dispositions of real estate, net and ii) $32.9 million related to the recognition of straight-line rent receivables. An additional inflow was from our increase in accrued liabilities and other payables of $2.1 million, offset by the outflow caused by the increase in our rent receivables, prepaid expenses and other assets, net of $11.8 million.
Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $586.2 million. Our net cash used in investing activities generally reflects our investment in real estate, including capital expenditures, construction in progress and lease incentives, and in mortgage loans receivable, which totaled $684.0 million in the aggregate. These cash outflows were partially offset by $63.5 million of proceeds from sales of investments, net of disposition costs, and $34.3 million of principal collections on our loans and direct financing lease receivables.

Table of Contents
Net cash provided by financing activities of $440.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 reflected net cash inflows of $192.7 million from the issuance of common stock, $389.9 million in net proceeds from the issuance of 2036 Notes and $460.0 million of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. These cash inflows were partially offset by the payment of $133.0 million in dividends and distributions, the repayment of $460.0 million of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, the payment of $0.8 million of deferred financing costs, the payment of $0.5 million of offering costs, and the payment of $8.2 million in taxes related to the net settlement of equity awards upon vesting.

We had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2026.

Includes obligations to reimburse certain of our tenants for development, construction and renovation costs that they incur related to properties leased from the Company in exchange for contractual payments of interest or increased rent that generally increases proportionally with our funding.
(2)
Includes $20.5 million of rental payments due under ground lease arrangements where our tenants are directly responsible for payment.
Additionally, we may enter into commitments to purchase goods and services in connection with the operation of our business. These commitments generally have terms of one-year or less and reflect expenditure levels comparable to our historical expenditures as adjusted for growth.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires our management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. Estimates and assumptions include, among other things, subjective judgments regarding the fair values and useful lives of our properties for depreciation and lease classification purposes, the collectability of receivables and asset impairment analysis. We base estimates on the best information available to us at the time, our experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions or other matters had been different, it is possible that different accounting would have been applied, resulting in a different presentation of our consolidated financial statements. From time to time, we reevaluate our estimates and assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” We have not made any material changes to these policies during the periods covered by this quarterly report.

Our Real Estate Investment Portfolio
As of June 30, 2026, we had a portfolio of 2,493 properties, inclusive of one undeveloped land parcel and 152 properties that secure our investments in mortgage loans receivable, that was diversified by tenant, concept, industry and geography and had annualized base rent of $604.9 million. Our tenants operate 715 different concepts across 48 states. None of our tenants represented more than 3.1% of our portfolio at June 30, 2026, and our top ten largest tenants represented 15.2% of our annualized base rent as of that date.
As of June 30, 2026, 97.6% of our leases (based on annualized base rent) were triple-net, where the tenant is typically responsible for all improvements and is contractually obligated to pay all operating expenses, such as maintenance, insurance, utility and tax expense, related to the leased property. Due to the triple-net structure of our leases, we do not expect to incur significant capital expenditures relating to our triple-net leased properties, and the potential impact of inflation on our operating expenses is reduced.
Diversification by Tenant
As of June 30, 2026, our top ten tenants included nine different concepts. The following table details information about our tenants and the related concepts as of June 30, 2026 (dollars in thousands):

Implied Tenant Credit Ratings
Tenant financial distress is typically caused by consistently poor or deteriorating operating performance, near-term liquidity issues or unexpected liabilities. To assess the probability of tenant insolvency, we utilize Moody’s Analytics RiskCalc, which is a model for predicting private company defaults based on Moody’s Analytics Credit Research Database, which incorporates both market and company-specific risk factors. The following table illustrates the portions of our annualized base rent as of June 30, 2026 attributable to leases with tenants having specified implied credit ratings based on their Moody’s RiskCalc scores:

Revenues:
Rental revenue
. Rental revenue increased by $22.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in rental revenue was driven primarily by the growth in our real estate investment portfolio, which grew by 287 rental properties, or 14%, since June 30, 2025. A portion of our real estate investments were acquired throughout the periods presented and were not all owned by us for the entirety of the applicable periods; accordingly, a significant portion of the increase in rental revenue between periods is related to recognizing revenue in 2026 from acquisitions that were made during 2025 and year-to-date 2026.
Interest on loans and direct financing lease receivables.
Interest on loans and direct financing lease receivables increased by $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to the increase in our mortgage loans receivable portfolio during 2026, which led to a
higher average daily balance of loans receivable outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2026.
Other revenue, net
. Other revenue increased by $0.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025,
primarily due to non-recurring loan prepayment fees and other fees received during the three months ended June 30, 2026.

Table of Contents
Expenses:
General and administrative.
General and administrative expenses increased by $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to an increase in professional fees during the three months ended June 30, 2026.
Property expenses
. Property expenses decreased by $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in property expenses was primarily due to decreased reimbursable property taxes and property-related operating costs during the three months ended June 30, 2026.
Depreciation and amortization
. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $7.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. Depreciation and amortization expense increased in proportion to the increase in the size of our real estate investment portfolio during the three months ended June 30, 2026.
Provision for impairment of real estate
. Impairment charges on real estate investments were $1.4 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we recorded a provision for impairment of real estate on two and three of our real estate investments, respectively.
Change in provision for credit losses.
The change in our provision for credit losses in our loan portfolio increased by $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. Under ASC 326, we are required to re-evaluate the expected loss on our portfolio of loans and direct financing lease receivables at each balance sheet date. Changes in our provision for credit losses are driven by revisions to global and asset-specific assumptions in our credit loss model and by changes in the size of our loan and direct financing lease portfolio.
Other operating income:
Gain on dispositions of real estate, net.
Gain on dispositions of real estate, net, increased by $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. We disposed of 17 and 23 real estate investments during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Other (expense)/income:
Interest expense
. Interest expense increased by $5.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase in our outstanding debt balance during the
three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Interest income
. Interest income decreased by $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to a decrease in our short term investments and a decrease in interest rates during the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Other income, net.
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded $0.4 million of other income, net, related to an insurance recovery.
Income tax expense.
Income tax expense increased by $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. We are organized and operate as a REIT and are generally not subject to U.S. federal corporate income taxes on our REIT taxable income that is currently distributed to our stockholders. However, the Operating Partnership is subject to taxation in certain state and local jurisdictions that impose income taxes on a partnership.

Revenues:
Rental revenue
. Rental revenue increased by $49.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in rental revenue was driven primarily by the growth in the size of our real estate investment portfolio, which generated additional revenues. Our real estate investment portfolio grew from 2,035 rental properties, representing $5.7 billion in total real estate investments, net, as of June 30, 2025 to 2,329 rental properties, representing $6.6 billion in total real estate investments, net, as of June 30, 2026. Our real estate investments were acquired throughout the periods presented and were not all owned by us for the entirety of the applicable periods; accordingly, a significant portion of the increase in rental revenue between periods is related to recognizing revenue in 2026 from acquisitions that were made during 2025 and year-to-date 2026.
Interest on loans and direct financing lease receivables.
Interest on loans and direct financing lease receivables increased by $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, due to an increase in investments in loans receivable during 2026, leading to a
higher average daily balance of loans receivable outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Other revenue, net
. Other revenue increased by $1.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025,
primarily due to the receipt of non-recurring lease termination and loan prepayment fees during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Table of Contents
Expenses:
General and administrative expenses.
General and administrative expenses increased by $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily related to an increase in professional fees incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Property expenses
. Property expenses decreased by $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in property expenses was primarily due to decreased reimbursable property taxes and property-related operational costs during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Depreciation and amortization expense
. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $15.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. Depreciation and amortization expense increased in proportion to the increase in the size of our real estate portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Provision for impairment of real estate
. Impairment charges on real estate investments were $18.2 million and $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. During each of the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we recorded a provision for impairment of real estate on 10 of our real estate investments.
Change in provision for loan losses.
The change in our provision for credit losses in our loan portfolio increased by $3.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. Under ASC 326, we are required to re-evaluate the expected loss on our portfolio of loans and direct financing lease receivables at each balance sheet date.

Gain on dispositions of real estate, net, increased by $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. We disposed of 23 and 34 real estate properties during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Other (expense)/income:
Interest expense
. Interest expense increased by $11.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase in our outstanding debt balance and increased interest rates during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Interest income
. Interest income decreased by $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.

expense.
Income tax expense increased by $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. We are organized and operate as a REIT and are not subject to U.S. federal corporate income taxes on our REIT taxable income that is currently distributed to our stockholders. However, the Operating Partnership is subject to taxation in certain state and local jurisdictions that impose income taxes on a partnership.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our reported results are presented in accordance with GAAP. We also disclose the following non-GAAP financial measures: funds from operations (“FFO”), core funds from operations (“Core FFO”), adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”), earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), EBITDA further adjusted to exclude gains (or losses) on sales of depreciable property and real estate impairment losses
61
Table of Contents
(“EBITDA
re
”), adjusted EBITDA
re
, annualized adjusted EBITDA
re
, net debt, net operating income (“NOI”), cash NOI (“Cash NOI”) and cash general and administrative expense ("Cash G&A"). We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs.
We compute FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude extraordinary items (as defined by GAAP), net gain or loss from sales of depreciable real estate assets, impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate assets and real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries. FFO is used by management, and may be useful to investors and analysts, to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers primarily because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains and losses on sales (which are dependent on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions).
We compute Core FFO by adjusting FFO, as defined by NAREIT, to exclude certain GAAP income and expense amounts that we believe are infrequent and unusual in nature and/or not related to our core real estate operations. Exclusion of these items from similar FFO-type metrics is common within the equity REIT industry, and management believes that presentation of Core FFO provides investors with a metric to assist in their evaluation of our operating performance across multiple periods and in comparison to the operating performance of our peers, because it removes the effect of unusual items that are not expected to impact our operating performance on an ongoing basis. Core FFO is used by management in evaluating the performance of our core business operations. Items included in calculating FFO that may be excluded in calculating Core FFO include certain transaction related gains, losses, income or expense or other non-core amounts as they occur.
To derive AFFO, we modify our computation of Core FFO to include other adjustments to GAAP net income related to certain items that we believe are not indicative of our operating performance, including straight-line rental revenue, non-cash interest, non-cash compensation expense, other amortization expense, the change in our provision for credit losses, other non-cash adjustments and capitalized interest expense. Such items may cause short-term fluctuations in net income but have no impact on operating cash flows or long-term operating performance. We believe that AFFO is an additional useful supplemental measure for investors to consider when assessing our operating performance without the distortions created by non-cash items and certain other revenues and expenses.
FFO, Core FFO and AFFO do not include all items of revenue and expense included in net income, they do not represent cash generated from operating activities and they are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements; accordingly, they should not be considered alternatives to net income as a performance measure or cash flows from operations as a liquidity measure and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures. Additionally, our computation of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO may differ from the methodology for calculating these metrics used by other equity REITs and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other equity REITs.

We compute EBITDA as earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. In 2017, NAREIT issued a white paper recommending that companies that report EBITDA also report EBITDA
re
. We compute EBITDA
re
in accordance with the definition adopted by NAREIT. NAREIT defines EBITDA
re
as EBITDA (as defined above) excluding gains (or losses) from the sales of depreciable property and real estate impairment losses. We present EBITDA and EBITDA
re
as they are measures commonly used in our industry. We believe that these measures are useful to investors and analysts because they provide supplemental information concerning our operating performance, exclusive of certain non-cash items and other costs. We use EBITDA and EBITDA
re
as measures of our operating performance and not as measures of liquidity.
EBITDA and EBITDA
re
do not include all items of revenue and expense included in net income, they do not represent cash generated from operating activities and they are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements; accordingly, they should not be considered alternatives to net income as a performance measure or cash flows from operations as a liquidity measure and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures. Additionally, our computation of EBITDA and EBITDA
re
may differ from the methodology for calculating these metrics used by other equity REITs and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other equity REITs.

We further adjust EBITDA
re
for the most recently completed quarter (i) based on an estimate calculated as if all re-leasing, investment and disposition activity that took place during the quarter had been made on the first day of the quarter; (ii) to exclude certain GAAP income and expense amounts that we believe are infrequent and unusual in nature; and (iii) to eliminate the impact of lease termination fees and contingent rental revenue from certain of our tenants, which is subject to sales thresholds specified in the applicable leases (“Adjusted EBITDA
re
”). We then annualize quarterly Adjusted EBITDA
re
by multiplying it by four (“Annualized Adjusted EBITDA
re
”), which we believe provides a meaningful estimate of our current run rate for all of our investments as of the end of the most recently completed quarter. You should not unduly rely on this measure, as it is based on assumptions and estimates that may prove to be inaccurate. Our actual reported EBITDA
re
for future periods may be significantly less than our current Annualized Adjusted EBITDA
re
.

Adjustment is made to i) exclude non-core adjustments made in computing Core FFO, if any, ii) exclude changes in our provision for credit losses and iii) eliminate the impact of seasonal fluctuation in certain non-cash compensation expense recorded in the period.

Adjustment excludes lease termination or loan prepayment fees and contingent rent (based on a percentage of the tenant's gross sales at the leased property) where payment is subject to exceeding a sales threshold specified in the lease, if any.
We calculate our net debt as our gross debt (defined as total debt plus net deferred financing costs on our secured borrowings) less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash available for future investment. We believe excluding cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash available for future investment from gross debt, all of which could be used to repay debt, provides an estimate of the net contractual amount of borrowed capital to be repaid, which we believe is a beneficial disclosure to investors and analysts.

We compute NOI as total revenues less property expenses. NOI excludes all other items of expense and income included in the financial statements in calculating net income or loss, in accordance with GAAP. Cash NOI further excludes non-cash items included in total revenues and property expenses, such as straight-line rental revenue and other amortization and non-cash adjustments. We believe NOI and Cash NOI provide useful and relevant information because they reflect only those revenue and expense items that are incurred at the property level and present such items on an unlevered basis.
NOI and Cash NOI are not measures of financial performance under GAAP. You should not consider our NOI and Cash NOI as alternatives to net income or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, our computation of NOI and Cash NOI may differ from the methodology for calculating these metrics used by other equity REITs, and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other equity REITs.

We compute Cash G&A as general and administrative expense, as determined in accordance with GAAP, less non-core general and administrative expense, non-cash compensation expense and straight-line rent expense on leases where we are the lessee. We exclude non-core general and administrative expense, non-cash compensation expense and straight-line rent expense because they may cause short-term fluctuations in general and administrative expense but have no impact on operating cash flows or long-term operating performance. We believe that Cash G&A is a useful supplemental measure for investors to consider when assessing our operating performance without the distortion created by non-cash and non-core items.
Cash G&A is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. You should not consider our Cash G&A as an alternative to general and administrative expense determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, our computation of Cash G&A may differ from the methodology for calculating this metric used by other equity REITs, and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other equity REITs.

Interest rates are presented after giving effect to our interest rate swap and lock agreements, where applicable.
(2)
After giving effect to extension options exercisable at the Operating Partnership's election.
While our borrowings under the 2027 Term Loan and the CF Term Loans are variable-rate, we have effectively fixed the interest rate under these term loans by entering into interest rate swap agreements where we pay a fixed interest rate and receive a floating interest rate equal to the rate we pay on the respective loan. At June 30, 2026, our aggregate asset in the event of the early termination of our swaps was $0.7 million.
Borrowings outstanding from time to time under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate equal to 1-month SOFR plus a leverage-based credit spread. Therefore, an increase or decrease in interest rates would result in an increase or decrease to our interest expense related to any borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.
We are exposed to interest rate risk between the time we enter into a sale-leaseback transaction, acquire a leased property or invest in a loan receivable and the time we finance the related asset with long-term fixed-rate debt. In addition, when our long-term debt matures, we may have to refinance the debt at a higher interest rate. Market interest rates are sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control. Our interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of future interest rate changes on our earnings and cash flows.
In addition to amounts that we borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility, we may incur variable-rate debt in the future that we do not choose to hedge. Additionally, decreases in interest rates may lead to increased competition for the acquisition of real estate due to a reduction in desirable alternative income-producing

investments. Increased competition for the acquisition of real estate may lead to a decrease in the yields on real estate we have targeted for acquisition. In such circumstances, if we are not able to offset the decrease in yields by obtaining lower interest costs on our borrowings, our results of operations will be adversely affected. Significant increases in interest rates may also have an adverse impact on our earnings if we are unable to acquire real estate with rental rates high enough to offset the increase in interest rates on our borrowings.
Fair Value of Fixed-Rate Indebtedness
The estimated fair value of our fixed-rate indebtedness under our Senior Notes is calculated based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The following table discloses fair value information related to our fixed-rate indebtedness as of June 30, 2026:

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance of compliance.
Changes in Internal Control
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are subject to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings. Management does not believe that the resolution of any of these matters either individually or in the aggregate will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Further, from time to time, we are party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings for which third parties, such as our tenants, are contractually obligated to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless. In some of these matters, the indemnitors have insurance for the potential damages. In other matters, we are being defended by tenants who may not have sufficient insurance, assets, income or resources to satisfy their defense and indemnification obligations to us. The unfavorable resolution of such legal proceedings could, individually or in the aggregate, materially adversely affect the indemnitors' ability to satisfy their respective obligations to us, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. It is management's opinion that there are currently no such legal proceedings pending that will, individually or in the aggregate, have such a material adverse effect. Despite management's view of the ultimate resolution of these legal proceedings, we may have significant legal expenses and costs associated with the defense of such matters. Further, management cannot predict the outcome of these legal proceedings and if management's expectation regarding such matters is not correct, such proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors as disclosed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 16 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and filed with the SEC on February 11, 2026. The following additional risk factor should be read in conjunction with the risk factors previously disclosed in such Annual Report. These risk factors may not describe every risk facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Tax protection agreements entered into in connection with property acquisitions may limit our operating flexibility and could result in significant payments to protected unitholders.
In connection with certain past or future property acquisitions our Operating Partnership has issued, or may issue, OP Units to contributors of acquired properties and entered, or may enter, into tax protection agreements with certain of those contributors. These agreements generally provide that, for a specified period of time, if our Operating Partnership disposes of any interest in the relevant contributed properties in a taxable transaction, subject to certain exceptions, or takes certain other actions that (or fails to take certain other actions that, if not taken) result in taxable gain to any protected contributor(s), our Operating Partnership may be required to indemnify such protected contributor(s) for the portion of their tax liabilities attributable to the built-in-gain that existed with respect to the contributed properties at the time of the acquisition, together with a gross up for tax liabilities incurred as a result of such indemnification payment. Accordingly, we and our Operating Partnership will refrain from taking certain actions that (or take certain actions that, if not taken) could trigger taxable gain to the protected unitholders. Such actions may include, among other actions, selling, transferring, or otherwise disposing of protected properties in a taxable transaction, reducing or repaying certain indebtedness that has been allocated to protected unitholders for U.S. federal, state or local income tax purposes, or engaging in other transactions that could cause the protected unitholders to recognize taxable income or gain.
Any indemnification payment required pursuant to a tax protection agreement could be substantial and could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and ability to make distributions to our stockholders. Accordingly, tax protection agreements may limit our operational and strategic flexibility and could require us to incur significant costs in connection with transactions that would otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders.
