Speaker 2

Thank you, Amy, and thank you all for joining us this morning on our Q2 2024 earnings call. We had a steady Q2 completing over $116,000,000 of gross investment activity at a blended cash yield of 7.5%. A larger portion of our acquisitions this quarter were sale leaseback transactions as we have seen more attractive risk adjusted returns from our opportunity set in that area. Due to the difference in sourcing channels this quarter, our acquisitions had an attractive rent growth profile with longer lease terms at 16.7 years average remaining lease term. We have a new top 10 tenant this quarter after 2 property additions with Lifetime Fitness, a premier health club provider whose operations have proven resilient in the current economic climate due to the change focused on the more affluent customer.

Speaker 2

This direct sale leaseback was part of a larger package, which allowed us to select the 2 best assets from the group at highly attractive price points. 1 of the assets is a former United States Tennis Association location in the northern suburbs of Atlanta, which has been expanded and upgraded by Lifetime over the past few years. The other asset is another infill location in Austin, Texas, which consistently performs as one of the top 5 most profitable locations in the Lifetime chain. While we have seen a number of sale leaseback opportunities with Lifetime over the past few years, this was the first opportunity that gave us access to some of their most attractive real estate at accretive cap rates and an appropriate basis. We may selectively add to this tenant concentration if we can continue to acquire top performing assets at favorable pricing with a reasonable basis.

Speaker 2

On the development front, we commenced rent on 6 projects totaling $12,000,000 Our current development pipeline of 12 projects with a total estimated cost of $39,600,000 which includes estimated remaining funding of $12,000,000 Moving on to dispositions. We continue to execute on strategic asset sales to recycle capital into investments with longer leases and better rent escalations and decreasing our exposure to certain tenants. We completed 6 dispositions in the quarter for total proceeds of $13,000,000 at a blended cash yield of 6.8%. At quarter end, our portfolio consisted of 6.49 investments with an ABR of $148,000,000 Our 90 tenants operate in 26 industries across 45 states with 83% of our portfolio leased to investment grade or investment grade profile tenants. Our weighted average lease term remaining on the portfolio is 9.5 years with less than 4% of leases expiring through 2026.

Speaker 2

As we look to further improve the diversity of our portfolio, we will continue to explore all acquisition sourcing channels where we can get the best risk adjusted returns including sale leaseback opportunities that give us access to well located real estate where the tenant generates significant cash flows at a very high rent coverage. While having a large number of publicly traded companies in our portfolio has created headline noise for us most recently, We believe the economic impact to our cash flow generation should be negligible over the long term. As a reminder, we do not only on corporate credit of our tenants, but also the unit level performance of our assets and the quality of our real estate collateral. The 2 most topical tenants in the news have been Walgreens and Bigloss. As it relates to Walgreens, we have just one lease expiring before 2029 and it is a high performing asset with de minimis renewal risk.

Speaker 2

As mentioned in the past, we maintain an ongoing and constructive dialogue with Walgreens, which allows us to proactively asset manage our stores in real time. That said, we continue to believe we own some of the better performing stores, which should limit our downside risk. With regard to Big Lots, they recently announced the closure of more than 10% of their stores. We have one location on that list and based on our assessment of the market, we are confident in our ability to re tenant the location with potential upside in rent. The remainder of our Big Lots stores generate better than average foot traffic with rents that we believe are at or below market with attractive real estate fundamentals.

Speaker 2

As we look out to the remaining half of the year, we are focused on further enhancing our portfolio's diversification with tenants that have strong management teams and operate in defensive industries. Before I hand the call over to Dan, I want to discuss the fraud incident that occurred during the quarter. The company was the victim of a criminal scheme involving a business email compromise of an employee that led to 2 fraudulent transfers totaling $3,300,000 to a third party impersonating 1 of our development partners. The result was a $2,800,000 loss net of insurance recoveries. When we learned of the issue, we took immediate action, including blocking access to the compromised account and launching a review with the assistance of 3rd party experts.

Speaker 2

Our investigation has determined this isolated event poses no further threat to company or its partners, and we believe we have taken the appropriate steps to prevent this from occurring again. With that, I'll hand the call to Dan to go over our second quarter financials and then open up the call for your questions.

Speaker 3

Thank you, Mark. Looking at our 2nd quarter earnings, we reported a net loss of $2,300,000 or $0.03 per diluted share. Core FFO for the 2nd quarter was $23,400,000 or $0.31 per diluted share and AFFO was $23,800,000 or $0.32 per diluted share, which was an over 6% increase versus last year. Turning to the expense front, total recurring G and A declined 8% year over year to $4,600,000 while recurring cash G and A declined 13% year over year to $3,300,000 In addition with our total recurring G and A representing 12% of total revenues in the quarter versus 16% of total revenues in the prior year quarter, our G and A continues to steadily rationalize relative to our revenue base. Turning to the balance sheet, our total adjusted net debt which includes the impact of all forward equity as of quarter end was $464,000,000 Our weighted average debt maturity is 3.6 years and our weighted average interest rate is 4.43%.

Speaker 3

Including extension options which can be exercised at our discretion, we have no debt maturing until January 2027. During the quarter, we sold 1,600,000 shares all on a forward basis from our ATM program for a net equity value of 29,000,000 dollars At quarter end, our liquidity was $569,000,000 which consisted of $14,000,000 of cash on hand, dollars 302,000,000 available on our revolving credit facility and $254,000,000 of unsettled forward equity. Turning to leverage, our adjusted net debt to annualized adjusted EBITDAre was 3.4 times at quarter end, which remains well below our targeted leverage range of 4.5 times to 5.5 times. Moving on to guidance, we are maintaining our 2024 AFO per share guidance of $1.25 to 1.28 We also continue to expect cash G and A to range between $13,500,000 $14,500,000 which is exclusive of transaction costs and one time severance payments. Lastly, on July 23, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.21 per share, which represents a 2.4% increase from the prior quarter.

Speaker 3

Dividend will be payable on September 13 to shareholders of record as of September 3. Based on the dividend amount, our AFFO payout ratio for the Q2 of 66%. With that operator, we will now open the line for

Operator

questions. Thank you. We will now be conducting a question and answer The first question is from Wes Colliday with Baird. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker 4

Hey, good morning guys. Can you talk about what categories are in the acquisition pipeline and the held for sale assets?

Speaker 2

Yes, sure. So, it's a pretty big mix of different types of transactions that we're looking at. There are some sale effects, some still some we're finishing up some more developments. So we have a handful of dollar stores left to close. But quick service restaurants, tractor and supply kind of pretty typical from what you've seen in the past.

Speaker 4

Okay. And then when you go back to the Big Lots comment, you mentioned potential upside in rent. I know you have a low rent overall for the big lots. Can you talk about where the rent is for the asset that was, I guess closed? And are you looking for term income and any CapEx needed?

Speaker 2

Yes, sure. So the rent on that location is estate. And it has not closed yet. They just they came out with a closure list indicating 149 stores that will close. That is on that list, so they are likely they're going to start some going out of business sales, etcetera.

Speaker 2

So that's going to take a little bit of time. And then we would just look to re tenant the asset in the event that we take it back if they file bankruptcy at some point in time. But there's still 7 years of lease term on there. So if they were to reject the lease, we would get some we'd get a lease termination payment and then we would like to re tenant the asset. But we've already been out in the market talking to some tenants as well as a broker that's pretty familiar with the location and there's already some interest in that location.

Speaker 4

Okay. And then Stop and Shop has been in the news. How do you feel about your exposure there? And are there any other tenants on your watch list?

Speaker 2

Yes, sure. So, yes, Stop and Shop, we've got 2 locations, which is a little bit less than 2% of revenues. I think they announced 32 closures that they're going to be going through. None of ours are affected by that and we don't really see any risk to our locations. We have one in Beekman, New York that is currently getting extended and they're taking their 5 year option.

Speaker 2

Then one in Summer New York as well that's one of their top performing assets that has some term on it. So really don't see any risk associated with that tenant. And then of course Big Lots, we certainly are paying attention to what's going on with them.

Speaker 4

Okay. Thanks. I'll hop back in the queue.

Speaker 2

Thanks, Wes.

Operator

Thank you. The next question is from Smedes Rose with Citi. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker 5

Hi, thank you. I just wanted to ask you a little bit just about overall acquisition activity, because I guess at least relative to our expectations, we were surprised the pace of activity slowed, kind of sequentially. And it seemed I was just trying to square out some of your remarks in the Q1 where you kind of thought activity would be in line or ahead. And I'm just kind of wondering maybe what were some of the dynamics that you saw during the quarter that caused overall activity to slow. And just wondering if you could maybe provide an update on what you've seen or kind of your pipeline thus far in the Q3?

Speaker 2

Yes, sure. And I think the pace has been pretty similar. I think maybe slowed down a little bit on the margin. But we've just been very selective in terms of what assets we're willing to take into the portfolio and just trying to be prudent with the capital that we've raised back in January. But I would expect us to have a similar pace that we did last year this year as kind of as we look out for the next 60, 90 days.

Speaker 5

Okay. And then could you just maybe talk a little bit more about the lifetime assets? I mean, obviously, you brought the overall investment grade profile of your investments down. Would you expect over time that that's going to move back into the low to mid-eighty percent of your total investment activity? Or

Speaker 2

Yes. I mean, I think we're maybe a little bit less dogmatic about whether something's investment grade or not investment grade or investment grade profile. We're kind of looking at not only the corporate credit, what industry that what headwinds or tailwinds that might be affecting that individual tenant or that industry, how profitable the locations are. And then of course, in the event that we ever have to take a property back like you're seeing with Big Lots that we're going to be able to backfill that location, and replace the rent. So it's kind of a lot of different factors that kind of go into what we're looking at buying.

Speaker 2

Right now, we're seeing more on the sale leaseback side, which is going to be typically some investment grade profile, some sub investment grade occasionally and grade tenant. There's kind of a large transaction right out in the market right now that's with an investment grade tenant. And so I think it really had more to do with our sourcing channels where we were getting the best risk adjusted returns last year, which was we did a lot of blend and extends 2 years ago. And then last year, we're doing more on the development side. Those just happen to be more with investment grade tenants.

Speaker 2

And so from the time of our IPO, we came out and said we'll use it as a guidepost for investors saying we'll be between 60% 70% actual investment grade, which we've kind of kept to that. We kind of creeped over 70% there for a little while. But I think we're likely to stay somewhere around that range.

Operator

Okay. Thank you. Appreciate it. Thank you. The next question is from Haendel St.

Operator

Juste with Mizuho. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker 6

Hi, good morning. This is Ravi Vaidyan in line for Haendel. What's the bad debt reserve that's currently embedded in your guide right now?

Speaker 7

And why not raise the guide

Speaker 6

at this point given that it seems that you're above pace from an acquisition standpoint versus last year?

Speaker 3

Hey, Ravi. Good question. On the credit loss, as we started the year, we said at the low end of guidance, we were modeling 100 basis points and at the high end of guidance, we were modeling basically nothing. As we've gotten through 6 months, we're now modeling 50 basis points at the low end and essentially nothing at the high end. As far as the decision not to raise guidance, with 5 months left in the year, we were comfortable leaving the midpoint at 126.5, namely because with almost 15,000,000 shares unsettled through our forward sale agreements, the dilution associated with those to Phantom Hunter stock price can have a meaningful impact on the share count and therefore our earnings per share.

Speaker 3

So we just wanted to see a couple more months of trading as well as a couple more months of activity before revisiting our guidance in October.

Speaker 6

Got it. That's helpful. So just one more here. Would you say that your acquisition strategy has shifted? Is there now more of a focus on experiential real estate rather than the dollar stores and pharmacies that currently make up a large part of the portfolio?

Speaker 2

No, I wouldn't say that our strategy has really shifted Those traded one traded at a 5.9% and the others traded in the 6% s. So we just felt like the pricing was a little bit more aggressive and the assets didn't perform quite as well as the assets that we're able to get here. So this was just a unique opportunity, I think, to grow with a tenant that we think is a very strong tenant with very high quality real estate. And yes, I mean, the Austin location consistently generates top five cash flows across their entire chain. And then the Atlanta asset is somewhat unique and that it's just in the Peachtree Corner suburb, just north of Atlanta, we acquired that for about $800,000 an acre.

Speaker 2

So and it is zones that we you could convert it to residential. So even if we ever took that asset back, we would actually make money on that asset. So somewhat unique characteristics about that transaction, but we are always looking at the quality of the real estate, the unilevel performance as well as the corporate credit and felt like that fits very well within our portfolio. We were just priced out on the last several transactions with Lifetime in the past.

Speaker 6

Got it. That's helpful. Thank you.

Operator

Thank you. The next question comes from Greg McGinniss with Scotiabank. Please go ahead.

Speaker 8

Hi, good morning. What do you think has changed at Lifetime or on the demand side for those assets that the boxes are now pricing at an attractive basis for you? And are there other non IG operators that you're now looking to pursue, so that might see a historical bias towards investment grade or equivalent acquisitions start to shift?

Speaker 2

Yes. I mean, I would say what has changed with LifeSign is really just what has changed across the entire market. Obviously, interest rates have an impact there, but there's just such little competition out in the market versus where we were 2, 3 years ago where there was private equity, there was a lot of 10/31 buyers, some large family offices that could write really big checks. Most of those are completely sidelined. So you have a handful of public REITs that are still active, but I think that is really the demand side has kind of fallen off with not as many buyers on the competition side.

Speaker 2

So I think that's really what's driving the situation with Lifetime. Yes, I mean, I think we're always looking for new tenants or open to sale leaseback opportunities. We're open to really every different channel that we acquire assets through. And right now, it does seem to be that the sale leaseback channel is a little bit more attractive where we're getting very high quality real estate at a very low basis with high rent coverage with tenants that are growing that we think have blue skies ahead of them. So certainly looking at a number of those types of opportunities, but then we're also looking at a lot of grocery store transactions and other investment grade type tenants that you've seen us acquire in the past.

Speaker 8

Okay. And on those lifetimes, are you getting P and Ls on those? And can you disclose the rent coverage?

Speaker 2

We do get unit level coverage. I'll just say that they are very high.

Speaker 8

Okay. Thanks. And one more just on the balance sheet. So given the increasing expectations, we'll see hopefully that debt costs are coming down with rate cuts. How are you thinking about the $150,000,000 accordion remaining on the term loan versus just issuing a new loan?

Speaker 8

And if you were to tap the accordion, do you plan on swapping that?

Speaker 3

Yes. Hey, Greg. We would look at doing both. It kind of just depends on where bank demand is. The 5 year swap rate today is around 3 80 basis points.

Speaker 3

Our spread over that swap rate is about 125 basis points. So all in, you're looking at very low 5%. I think I don't think we're looking at doing anything though on that front until we get out to 2025. Our credit facility comes due in August of 2026 and typically you start to look to recast that and look at the rest of your term loan debt at the same time. So that's probably an early 2025 event.

Speaker 3

So it's a little too early to say what we may or may not do. But our preference certainly is to continue to push out our debt maturities throughout the course of the next few years.

Speaker 7

Okay. Thank you.

Operator

Thank you. The next question comes from Opal Rana with KeyBanc Capital Markets. Please go ahead.

Speaker 9

Great. Thanks for taking my question. I'm assuming you have largely completed 3Q investment pipeline and wanted to get your sense of where cap rates and volumes are trending so far? And are you seeing the early indication of where cap rates could shake out for your 4Q pipeline?

Speaker 2

Yes. Always difficult for us to project too far out. But yes, I mean, I think Q3, likely to see cap rates. I think they've really flattened out. So you saw us post a similar cap rate 2nd quarter as we had Q1.

Speaker 2

We don't think they're necessarily going up here in the short term, but these things can certainly change pretty quickly.

Speaker 9

Okay. Got it. Thank you. And then could you provide some color on the current in place rents on the 27 Walgreens that you have? And where you think the market is as for those properties?

Speaker 2

Yes. So we're about $21 a foot on average. And I think they're all a little bit different, but I think we're probably slightly above market.

Speaker 9

Okay. Got it. Thank you.

Operator

Thank you. The next question is from the line of Joshua Denali with Bank of America. Please go ahead.

Speaker 10

Hi, good morning. This is Farrell Granath on behalf of Josh. I just wanted to ask, I guess, in terms of the spread that you're seeing between IG and non IG, curious if you could comment on that and if you're seeing any shift at all in terms of cap rates and pricing?

Speaker 2

Yes. No, it's a really good question. So historically what we've seen in the difference between non investment grade versus investment grade that and what we've acquired, it's really only been a 40 or 50 basis points. So pretty tight. But what we're currently seeing, and of course, there's a lot of factors that influence cap rates, not just the whether it's investment grade or not, but we're seeing that a little bit wider than what we saw over the past 4 years.

Speaker 10

Great. And I guess also just kind of thinking bigger picture, given the consumer being under pressure, are you seeing this specifically impact the stores in your portfolio? And are you receiving financials for a certain percentage of your portfolio that you've been monitoring?

Speaker 2

Yes. No, that's a great question. So that's really where you're seeing any level of distress is the lower income consumer combined with anything that's discretionary. So, where people are getting squeezed with inflation, they're kind of looking at their monthly budget and saying, to make this work I can't spend money on the discretionary items. I'm going to have to obviously you have to buy what you need.

Speaker 2

So and that's really Big Lots. That's their consumer is kind of the mid- to lower income consumer. A lot of what they sell is discretionary. So you've seen them really struggle since inflation started really kicking in. And that's really the big driver with Walgreens is that their consumer is looking around the store and saying, I don't really need to buy a lot of what you have here and they're pushing back on pricing.

Speaker 2

And so you've seen the margins as it relates to Walgreens strength from 23%, which was pretty steady for a long period of time, down to 18%. And that's heavily inflation driven with the lower income consumer.

Speaker 10

Okay. Thank you so much.

Operator

Thank you. We have a follow-up question. Sorry, the next question comes from Ki Bin Kim with Truist Securities. Please go ahead.

Speaker 7

Thank you. Good morning. On the lifetime assets, can you just talk about the average age of those assets?

Speaker 2

Yes. I mean they're fairly new. The one in Atlanta is kind of getting redone. It used to be the United States Tennis Association location. So that's gotten a pretty big makeover.

Speaker 2

So it's essentially a pretty new building and then Austin is only a few years old.

Speaker 7

Okay, great. And on your cost of capital, I mean, obviously, you guys have a great balance sheet and excellent position, but your equity price isn't quite efficiently priced. How should we think about this going forward? I know you have some runway to continue to buy, but thereafter, how do you think about funding your next round of deals?

Speaker 3

Yes. Ki Bin, with our leverage at 3.4 times, we can execute on our plan for the rest of the year and still in the year at or below the low end of our targeted range of 4.5 times to 5.5 times. So we do have plenty of runway as you know. But right now we can achieve spreads just slightly north of 100 basis points, which means we can probably grow earnings year over year somewhere around 2% to 3%. I don't think we're in a rush to raise equity, but we're confident that as we continue to execute our plan that our cost of equity will start to improve, particularly relative to the peer group, given the embedded cash flows that we have and the strength of our portfolio.

Speaker 3

But for now, we're being very, very judicious with how we manage our equity capital.

Speaker 7

Okay. Thank you, guys.

Operator

Thank you, man. Thank you. The next question is a follow-up question from Wes Galdi with Baird. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker 4

Thanks for taking the follow-up. If we were to look at your Walgreens exposure of 5.9% of ABR, how much do you think is at risk of closing, just being dark and pain? And then how much term would you have on those leases? And do you have an estimate of with a I guess the net value at risk of those Walgreens would be?

Speaker 2

Yes. I mean, always tough to predict what they're going to do. They definitely have mentioned they're taking a look at a large swap of their properties, and they're going to try to turn them around. I think it's prudent for them to do portfolio reviews. I think quite honestly it's a little bit overdue.

Speaker 2

But yes, I mean we're in constant conversations with Walgreens And they give us pretty good insight as to what they're thinking as it relates to their stores, if they're generating positive cash flow and if they're locations that they're committed to long term. A large number of the transactions that we did with Walgreens, if you recall, were blend and extend opportunities. So where we would go out and buy a short term lease and get it extended before we close. So showing that they are committed to the locations long term. Obviously, things have gotten a little bit worse for them as we just discussed their margins.

Speaker 2

So that I think that list has probably grown. And with their new CEO, I think looking at a larger portion of the source and which I think is fair. But that being said, we've got 9 years weighted average lease term and locations that generally do pretty well. And we know the location that's coming up in 20 28 is one of the better performers in the chain and not something that they're considering. So, yes, I mean, I think it could be ratable over time where we could take a store or 2 over the past over the next 6 or 7 years, but it's just not going to have a meaningful impact on earnings.

Speaker 4

Okay. Thanks for that. And then just one last one on the fraud issue. Is this the last we're going to hear of it? Is there anything changing on the internal controls?

Speaker 4

Or is it just a one time event and when we get to Q3 everything will be just in the rear view?

Speaker 3

Yes, that's exactly correct. We immediately rectified the situation, reiterated the importance of following our existing processes and how not to deviate from the preset procedures. Secondly, we enhanced our procure to pay procedures by adding certain redundancies to the process. And lastly, this was company wide. We stressed the importance of remaining vigilant and skeptical to control fraud in the workplace.

Speaker 3

So we would 100% would tell you that we believe this is a one time event and we've done everything we can to prevent it from occurring in the future in our view.

Speaker 4

Okay. Thanks everyone.

Operator

Thanks, Les. Thank you. The next question comes from Greg McGinnis with Scotiabank. Please proceed with your question.

Speaker 8

Hello again. Given the 2 lifetimes at around $70,000,000 I guess we were somewhat surprised by overall acquisition volume this quarter. Were there deals that fell through or pushed out? And what gives you the confidence transaction volume going forward will be in line with what we've seen historically absent these larger deals? Or are there other higher ticket assets you're pursuing?

Speaker 2

Yes. And to be clear, it wasn't $70,000,000 It was less than that. But yes, I mean, it's pretty normal for us to have quarters where we do a lot of onesie twosies small portfolios. And then we've had leasebacks with 711 in the past, up to a little bit more than $70,000,000 So we're just kind of looking at what's our opportunity set, what can we close in the quarter, and then we try to chop off the least efficiently priced assets and get the best risk adjusted returns we can. And we kind of have an idea of where we sit at all times during the quarter.

Speaker 2

So we're very comfortable that we can continue at the same pace that we have for the past 4 years.

Speaker 7

Okay. Thank you.

Operator

Thank you. There are no further questions at this time. I would like to turn the floor back over to Mark Mannheimer for closing comments.

Speaker 2

Thanks everybody for joining us today. I hope you have a great rest of your summer and we look forward to speaking again in the future.

Operator

Thank you. This concludes today's teleconference. You may now disconnect your lines at this time. Thank you for your participation.
