Key Q&A
Q:How did the company determine the 20% threshold for the loan portfolio, and where does the portfolio currently stand relative to this threshold?
A:The 20% threshold was set as a reasonable number to ensure the loan portfolio remains complementary to the company’s business without being a distraction to investors. As of the end of the year, the portfolio had $130 million outstanding, with a runway for an additional $25 million to $30 million to reach the 20% threshold of total undepreciated assets, which equates to $155 million to $160 million.
Q:What is the company’s plan regarding its exposure to tenants like Walgreens?
A:The company continues to reduce its exposure to Walgreens and is actively selling additional Walgreens properties. While the exposure has been significantly reduced, the company is taking its time to find the right buyers and is not rushing the sales process.
Q:Why doesn’t the company push beyond the 20% threshold for loan investments, given its strong growth?
A:The company does not want to shift its primary focus away from its core business of net lease properties. While the loan business is complementary and provides future net lease investment opportunities, the company wants to avoid it becoming a distraction.
Q:How does the company plan to deploy more equity capital at current stock prices?
A:The company plans to be prudent in deploying equity capital, primarily to fund highly accretive investments. Despite stock prices not being ideal, the math works, and the company sees value in providing liquidity and reissuing shares that were previously bought back.
Q:What is driving the company’s decision to raise its dividend, and why not retain more cash flow?
A:The dividend increase is driven by earnings and taxable income growth, particularly from the loan portfolio, which lacks depreciation and drives taxable income higher. The raise ensures the company meets its taxable income payout requirements.
Q:What is the repayment status of the developer loan for Phase I, and will the second loan start funding before the first is fully repaid?
A:The Phase I loan is already being repaid as lot sales occur, with repayments going to the senior participation sold off. The second loan is expected to start funding before the first is fully repaid, with more repayment activity expected by late spring.
Q:What sectors is the company targeting in its loan pipeline?
A:The company is targeting grocery-anchored developments and investment-grade credit developments with strong tenants and new relationships.
Q:Does the company plan to maintain the 20% allocation for the loan portfolio over the long term?
A:Yes, the company intends to maintain the 20% allocation as part of its long-term strategy, supported by a strong pipeline of opportunities.
Q:What were the one-time items in the fourth quarter, and what is the expected run rate going forward?
A:One-time items included over $300,000 in nonrecurring items such as management fees and prepayments from loans that paid off early. The expected run rate going forward is approximately $0.50 to $0.51 per share.
Q:What are the company’s leverage expectations for 2026?
A:The company is satisfied with its current leverage levels and expects to maintain them, depending on opportunities.
Q:What investment opportunities does the company see for 2026?
A:The company is excited about opportunities in the net lease side, particularly with new investment-grade credits and strong tenants, aiming to enhance the composition of its portfolio.
Q:Why is the acquisition and disposition guidance lower for 2026 compared to 2025?
A:The company aims to set a conservative and achievable target to avoid being forced into less desirable investments, focusing on curating a strong portfolio.
Q:What is the expected funding mix for new investments and unfunded commitments?
A:The funding mix will likely include recycling capital from noncore asset sales, loan repayments, ATM draws, and credit facility drawdowns, keeping everything modest.
Q:Will PIK interest continue to be included in AFFO, and how is it disclosed?
A:Yes, PIK interest will continue to be included in AFFO, with a schedule provided to show cash and PIK interest separately for transparency.
Q:Will developers with unfunded commitments draw down most of the capital in 2026?
A:Yes, the company expects developers to draw down most of the capital as part of their project needs.
Q:What are the conditions for funding Phase 2 in Austin, and when is it expected to be funded?
A:Phase 2 in Austin is expected to be funded in late Q1 or early Q2, with a net hold likely closer to half after selling participations.
Q:What are the expected yields for structured loans and net lease investments?
A:Structured loan yields are expected to remain consistent with past levels, while net lease investments, particularly in investment-grade properties, will have tighter cap rates but still align with previous investments.
Q:Are there opportunities for more participation interest sales on structured loans?
A:Yes, the company could sell more participation interests if needed, but it prefers to hold onto its high-quality loans unless necessary for funding activity.
Q:Review of Unclear Management Responses
A:Management avoided providing specific details on the conditions for funding Phase 2 in Austin, only stating that it is expected in late Q1 or early Q2. Additionally, they did not provide clear guidance on the exact yields for structured loans and net lease investments, using general terms like 'consistent with past levels' and 'tight cap rates.'
