Condition of Our Tenants
Revolutionary Clinics
Revolutionary Clinics faced operational challenges that impaired their ability to meet contractual rent obligations. Beginning in June 2024, they paid approximately 50% of rent due. On December 13, 2024, Revolutionary Clinics entered into receivership. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company entered into a stipulation agreement with the court appointed receiver to receive 50% of contractual rent on a weekly basis, along with weekly reimbursements for certain delinquent real estate taxes and utilities previously paid by the Company. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company received the rent and expense payments in accordance with the stipulation agreement. The receiver is working to liquidate the tenant's business.
In April 2025, the Company retained a commercial real estate broker to facilitate the leasing process and began actively marketing the property. The tenant vacated the premises in July 2025, and leasing efforts remain ongoing.
Financing Activity
Revolving Credit Facility
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $7.6 million in borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $82.4 million in funds available to be drawn, subject to sufficient collateral in the borrowing base. The Revolving Credit Facility accrued interest at a fixed rate of 5.65% through May 5, 2025. Commencing May 6, 2025, the Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a variable rate based upon the greater of (a) the Prime Rate quoted in the Wall Street Journal (Western Edition) plus an applicable margin of 1.0% or (b) 4.75%. As of June 30, 2025, the interest rate was at 8.50%.
The facility is subject to certain liquidity and operating covenants and includes customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default. As of June 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the agreement.
Dividend
On June 16, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a second quarter 2025 cash dividend of $0.43 per share of common stock, equivalent to an annualized dividend of $1.72 per share of common stock. The dividend was paid on July 15, 2025, to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 30, 2025, and represents an AFFO payout ratio of 79%.
Recent Developments
On July 30, 2025, AYR Wellness Inc. (“AYR”), which operates at two of the Company’s owned properties, announced that it had entered into a restructuring support agreement with its senior noteholders. Under the proposed plan, certain AYR assets and operations will be acquired by the senior noteholders, while the remaining assets and operations are expected to be sold or wound down. AYR properties represented approximately 5.9% of the Company’s rental revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025. AYR has paid its rental payments through July 2025; however, as of August 6, 2025, the Company has not received rent payments for August. Based on currently available information, the Company does not expect the operations associated with the two leased properties to be included in the transaction with AYR’s senior noteholders. The Company holds security deposits equal to approximately 3.5 months of rent for each of the two properties. The Company intends to enforce all of its rights under the lease agreements.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
Funds From Operations
The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition. NAREIT currently defines FFO as follows: net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by an entity. Other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently and therefore the Company’s computation of FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs.
Adjusted Funds From Operations
The Company calculates AFFO by starting with FFO and adjusting for non-cash and certain non-recurring transactions, including non-cash components of compensation expense and the effect of provisions for credit loss. Other REITs may not define AFFO in the same manner and therefore the Company’s calculation of AFFO may not be comparable to such other REITs. You should not consider FFO and AFFO to be alternatives to net income as a reliable measure of our operating performance; nor should you consider FFO and AFFO to be alternatives to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities (as defined by GAAP) as measures of liquidity.
The table below is a reconciliation of net income attributable to common stockholders to FFO and AFFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):
