•Total operating expenses increased by $83.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. The primary reason for the increase was due to an increase in the provision for credit losses of $73.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

The reconsideration event also resulted in a gain of $3.8 million on the reclassification of the lease. The Company also incurred higher land rights and ground lease expense of $2.0 million due to the acquisition of the assets in Bally's Master Lease II. Additionally, general and administrative expenses increased by $3.1 million due primarily from an executive severance charge of $6.3 million related to the Company's former Chief Investment Officer, partially offset by lower stock based compensation costs of $3.9 million due to forfeitures from the executive awards. Finally, the Company incurred higher depreciation expense of $2.7 million due to its recent acquisitions.
