Financial Results

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, IIP generated total revenues of $75.5 million, compared to $76.1 million for the same period in 2023, a decrease of 1%. The decrease was primarily due to a $5.6 million decline in contractual rent and property management fees received during the three months ended March 31, 2024 related to properties that IIP took back possession of since March 2023, and a decrease as a result of $1.5 million in rent received but not recognized in total revenues due to a re-classification of two leases that are treated as sales-type leases starting January 1, 2024. The decrease was partially offset by a $6.0 million increase to contractual rent and property management fees, which was primarily driven by contractual rent escalations and amendments to leases for additional improvement allowances at existing properties that resulted in adjustments to rent, a full period of contractual rent and property management fees related to the two properties acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2023, and new leases entered into since March 31, 2023. The decrease was also partially offset by a $0.3 million increase to tenant reimbursements, which was primarily due to higher property tax reimbursements collected during the period.

While IIP has 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, IIP does not expect to recognize rental revenue from those properties until that has occurred.

No security deposits were applied for rent during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Rental revenue received for the three months ended March 31, 2023 included the application of $4.2 million of security deposits for payment of rent.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, IIP recorded net income attributable to common stockholders of $39.1 million, or $1.36 per share; funds from operations (FFO) of $56.3 million, or $1.98 per share; Normalized FFO of $56.4 million, or $1.98 per share; and AFFO of $63.0 million, or $2.21 per share.

IIP paid a quarterly dividend of $1.82 per common share on April 15, 2024 to stockholders of record as of March 28, 2024. IIP’s AFFO payout ratio was 82% (calculated by dividing the common stock dividend declared per share by IIP’s AFFO per common share for the quarter). The common stock dividends declared for the twelve months ended March 31, 2024 totaled $7.24 per common share.

FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures used in the real estate industry to measure and compare the operating performance of real estate companies. A complete reconciliation containing adjustments from GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders to FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO and definitions of terms are included at the end of this release.

Financing Activity

In February 2024, IIP upsized its revolving credit facility to provide for $45.0 million in aggregate commitments.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, IIP issued 123,224 shares of its common stock under its ATM Program for net proceeds of $11.8 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, IIP exchanged $4.3 million principal amount of its Exchangeable Senior Notes for a combination of cash and shares of IIP common stock prior to maturity, in accordance with the terms of the indenture, and paid off the remaining $100,000 principal amount at maturity.

(1)

Amount reflects the non-refundable interest received on the seller-financed note issued to IIP by the buyer in connection with IIP’s disposition of a portfolio of four properties in southern California, which is recognized as a deposit liability and is included in other liabilities in IIP’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024, as the transaction did not qualify for recognition as a completed sale.

(2)

In connection with lease amendments executed on January 1, 2024 that extended the initial terms of the leases, the GAAP lease classifications at two properties switched from operating leases to sales-type leases. While these properties remain wholly owned by IIP, the non-refundable lease payments attributable to these two properties are no longer included in rental revenue and instead, in accordance with the GAAP treatment required for these two leases, recorded as a deposit liability and included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024. The amount included here reflects the non-refundable lease payments received on these two sales-type leases for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Prior to these lease amendments, the leases were classified as operating leases and the lease payments received were recognized as rental revenue and therefore, included in net income attributable to common stockholders.

FFO and FFO per share are operating performance measures adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (NAREIT). NAREIT defines FFO as the most commonly accepted and reported measure of a REIT’s operating performance equal to net income, computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, depreciation, amortization and impairment related to real estate properties, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

Management believes that net income, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measurement. However, management believes FFO and FFO per share to be supplemental measures of a REIT’s performance because they provide an understanding of the operating performance of IIP’s properties without giving effect to certain significant non-cash items, primarily depreciation expense. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions. IIP believes that by excluding the effect of depreciation, FFO and FFO per share can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods. IIP reports FFO and FFO per share because these measures are observed by management to also be the predominant measures used by the REIT industry and industry analysts to evaluate REITs and because FFO per share is consistently reported, discussed, and compared by research analysts in their notes and publications about REITs. For these reasons, management has deemed it appropriate to disclose and discuss FFO and FFO per share.

IIP computes Normalized FFO by adjusting FFO, as defined by NAREIT, to exclude certain GAAP income and expense amounts that management believes are infrequent and unusual in nature and/or not related to IIP’s core real estate operations. Exclusion of these items from similar FFO-type metrics is common within the equity REIT industry, and management believes that presentation of Normalized FFO and Normalized FFO per share provides investors with a metric to assist in their evaluation of IIP’s operating performance across multiple periods and in comparison to the operating performance of other companies, because it removes the effect of unusual items that are not expected to impact IIP’s operating performance on an ongoing basis. Normalized FFO is used by management in evaluating the performance of its core business operations. Items included in calculating FFO that may be excluded in calculating Normalized FFO include certain transaction-related gains, losses, income or expense or other non-core amounts as they occur.

Management believes that AFFO and AFFO per share are also appropriate supplemental measures of a REIT’s operating performance. IIP calculates AFFO by adjusting Normalized FFO for certain cash and non-cash items.

For all periods presented, FFO (diluted), Normalized FFO, AFFO and FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO per diluted share include the dilutive impact of the assumed full exchange of the Exchangeable Senior Notes for shares of common stock.

For all periods presented, as the performance thresholds for vesting of the performance share units were not met as measured as of the respective dates, they were excluded from the calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding – diluted.

IIP’s computation of FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such REITs. Further, FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flow available for management’s discretionary use. FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of IIP’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of IIP’s liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund IIP’s cash needs, including IIP’s ability to pay dividends or make distributions. FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO should be considered only as supplements to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as measures of IIP’s operations.
