The success of our tenants in operating their businesses and their ability to pay rent continues to be significantly influenced by many challenges including the impact of inflation, labor shortages, supply chain constraints on their cost of doing business, and the U.S. consumer financial health. Additionally, market dynamics and the regulatory regime in the states where they operate create challenges that may impact our tenants’ businesses and/or decrease future demand for regulated cannabis cultivation and production facilities. The potential impact of current economic challenges on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is subject to change and continues to depend on the extent and duration of these risks and uncertainties.

As of June 30, 2024, we owned 108 properties located in 19 states leased to 30 tenants (not including three non-cannabis tenants in two properties). Many of our tenants are tenants at multiple properties. We seek to manage our portfolio-level risk through geographic diversification and by minimizing dependence on any single property or tenant. At June 30, 2024, our largest property was located in New York and accounted for 5.5% of our net real estate held for investment. No other properties accounted for more than 5% of our net real estate held for investment at June 30, 2024. See Note 2 “Concentration of Credit Risk” in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the tenants in our portfolio that represented the largest percentage of our total rental revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Rental Revenues. Rental revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased by $3.4 million, or 4%, to $79.3 million, compared to $75.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by the $3.9 million disposition-contingent lease termination fee that was received in connection with the sale of our property in Los Angeles, California (see Note 6 “Investments in Real Estate” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for more information), a $3.6 million increase to contractual rent and property management fees, which was primarily driven by contractual rent escalations, amendments to leases for additional improvement allowances at existing properties that resulted in adjustments to rent and new leases entered into since March 31, 2023. The increase was partially offset by a $2.9 million decline in contractual rent and property management fees received during the three months ended June 30, 2024 related to properties that we took back possession of since March 2023 and a decline of $1.3 million in rent received but not recognized in rental revenues due to a re-classification of two sales-type leases starting January 1, 2024 (see Note 2 “Lease Accounting” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for more information).

Rental revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2024 declined by $1.2 million, or 2% to $76.1 million, compared to $77.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decline was primarily driven by a $3.0 million decline in contractual rent and property management fees received during the three months ended September 30, 2024 related to properties that we regained possession of or sold since June 2023; a decline of $1.3 million due to rent received but not recognized in rental revenues resulting from the re-classifications of two sales-type leases starting January 1, 2024 (see Note 2 “Lease Accounting” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for more information); and $1.3 million of contractually due rent and property management fees that were not collected during the three months ended September 30, 2024. This decline was partially offset by a $4.6 million increase to contractual rent and property management fees, which was primarily driven by contractual rent escalations, amendments to leases for additional improvement allowances at existing properties that resulted in adjustments to rent, and new leases entered into since June 2023.

Rental revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased by $2.8 million, or 2%, to $154.2 million, compared to $151.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by the $3.9 million disposition-contingent lease termination fee that was received in connection with the sale of our property in Los Angeles, California, a $9.5 million increase to contractual rent and property management fees, which was primarily driven by contractual rent escalations, amendments to leases for additional improvement allowances at existing properties that resulted in adjustments to rent, new leases entered into since March 31, 2023 and a $0.6 million increase to tenant reimbursements, which was primarily due to higher property tax reimbursements collected during the period. The increase was partially offset by a $8.6 million decline in contractual rent and property management fees received during the six months ended June 30, 2024 related to properties that we took back possession of since March 2023, and a

While we have re-leased several properties taken back since March 2023, rent commencement on certain of those properties is contingent on the tenants obtaining the requisite approvals to operate, and temporary rent abatements in certain instances as tenants transition into the properties and commence operations. As a result, we do not expect to recognize rental revenue from those properties until that has occurred.

Property Expenses. Property expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased by $1.1 million to $6.9 million, compared to $5.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Property expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased by $2.2 million to $13.6 million, compared to $11.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in both periods was due to additional investment in existing properties, which resulted in higher property tax that we paid for our properties, as well as higher property expenses related to properties that we have taken possession of but not yet leased. Property expenses related to leased properties are generally reimbursable to us by the tenants under the terms of the leases.

Property Expenses. Property expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $1.0 million to $7.3 million, compared to $6.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased by $0.9 million to $9.7 million, compared to $10.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. General and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased by $1.7 million to $19.2 million, compared to $20.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in general and administrative expense for both periods was primarily due to lower litigation-related expense incurred during the period and lower compensation to employees. The lower compensation was primarily due to the expiration of the PSUs granted in 2021 on December 31, 2023 (which were forfeited in their entirety as they failed to meet the threshold for any payout as of that date), which was partially offset by increases to payroll salary, bonus expense and non-PSU related stock-based compensation for employee and directors. Compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 included $4.4 million and $8.7 million, respectively, of non-cash stock-based compensation. Compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 included $4.9 million and $9.7 million, respectively, of non-cash stock-based compensation.

The decrease in general and administrative expense for each period was primarily due to lower litigation-related expense incurred and lower compensation to employees compared to the prior year periods. The lower compensation was primarily due to the expiration of the PSUs granted in 2021 on December 31, 2023 (which were forfeited in their entirety as they failed to meet the threshold for any payout as of that date), which was partially offset by increases to payroll salary, bonus expense and non-PSU related stock-based compensation for employees and directors.

The increase in cash flows provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to the $3.9 million disposition-contingent lease termination fee that was received concurrently with the sale of our property in Los Angeles, California, higher contractual rent collection (including deferred lease payments received on sales-type leases), proceeds from property insurance claims, higher interest income and changes in working capital due to timing of vendor payments.

We expect to incur some property-level operating costs from time to time in periods during which properties that become vacant are being remarketed or re-positioned. In addition, we may recognize an expense for certain property costs, such as insurance premiums and real estate taxes billed in arrears, if we believe the tenant is likely to vacate the property before making payment on those obligations or may be unable to pay such costs in a timely manner. Property costs are generally not significant to our operations, but the amount of property costs can vary quarter to quarter based on the number of property vacancies and whether we have any underperforming properties. We may advance certain property costs on behalf of our tenants but expect that the majority of these costs will be reimbursed by the tenant and do not anticipate that they will be significant to our operations. In addition, for properties that are not leased and are under development or redevelopment, we may make significant additional investments in these properties in order to get them ready for their intended use and to re-lease them. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, property expenses included $1.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of non-reimbursed expenses related to operating properties that were not leased.

We account for our leases under Accounting Standards Codification 842, Leases, which requires significant estimates and judgments by management in its application. Upon lease inception or lease modification, we assess the lease classification of both the land and building components of the property. The determination of lease classification requires the calculation of the rate implicit in the lease, which is driven by significant estimates relating to the unguaranteed residual value of the assets at the end of the non-cancelable lease term. A decrease of 5% in the estimated unguaranteed residual value of our properties would result in changes to the lease classification of one lease that was modified during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

For each property where such an indicator occurred, we completed an impairment evaluation. After completing this process, we determined that for each of the operating properties evaluated, undiscounted cash flows over the holding period were in excess of carrying value and, therefore, we did not record any impairment losses for these properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Significant adverse changes in the critical accounting estimates used in the impairment evaluation are required for the undiscounted cash flows over the holding period to be less than the carrying value as of June 30, 2024.

As of June 30, 2024, we had $300.0 million principal amount of Notes due 2026 outstanding at fixed interest rates, and therefore, if interest rates decline, our required payments may exceed those based on current market rates. It is possible that a property we acquire in the future would be subject to a mortgage, which we may assume. In recent years, the commercial real estate market generally has experienced significant disruptions from, among other things, significant increases in interest rates and changing tenant preferences for space. Our Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a variable rate based on the greater of the prime rate and an applicable margin and a stipulated interest rate; therefore, if interest rates increase, our required payments on any amounts outstanding on our Revolving Credit Facility may also increase. As of June 30, 2024, we had no outstanding borrowings on our Revolving Credit Facility.
