  At the effective time of the Merger, or the Merger Effective Time, each share of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time will automatically vest and be cancelled and terminated and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

Financial Results

Net Income

Our GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2026 was $12.4 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to $7.9 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025.

Cash NOI

Cash NOI was $46.3 million for the first quarter of 2026, as compared to $41.2 million for the first quarter of 2025. The increase in Cash NOI is primarily the result of acquisitions, cash proceeds received from a tenant for development costs that are related to lessor-owned assets, decreased operating costs at the Stoughton Healthcare Facility due to the demolition of the building and same-store Cash NOI growth of 0.7%. The increase was partially offset by property dispositions.

AFFO

AFFO was $33.5 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, during the first quarter of 2026, compared to $29.4 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, during the first quarter of 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes certain financial performance measures not defined by United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in this press release. In the real estate industry, analysts and investors employ certain non-GAAP supplemental financial measures in order to facilitate meaningful comparisons between periods and among peer companies. We believe that the non-GAAP financial measures we disclose are useful to investors to consider because they may assist them to better understand and measure the performance of our business over time and against similar companies. We use the following non-GAAP financial measures: Funds From Operations, or FFO, Core Funds From Operations, or Core FFO, AFFO, and Cash NOI. Our definitions and calculations of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as similar measures reported by other REITs.

A description of FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO, and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and a description of same store cash NOI and reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to rental revenue, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, are provided below.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income attributable to common stockholders (determined in accordance with GAAP) as indicators of our financial performance, as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), or as measures of our liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flows to fund all of our needs.

________________________
(1)		The deferred rent related to the three months ended March 31, 2026 represents cash proceeds received from the tenant for development costs that are related to lessor-owned assets at the El Segundo Healthcare Facility. These proceeds are recognized over time in straight-line rent adjustments within rental revenues. The deferred rent related to the three months ended March 31, 2025 represents rent received on a property that was under development. This property was placed in service in December 2025 and therefore, subsequent rent received is reflected in rental revenue and the prior deferred revenue is recognized over time in straight-line rent adjustments within rental revenues.

FFO

FFO is calculated consistent with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or Nareit’s, definition, as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains and losses from sales of real estate assets, impairment of real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity, and depreciation and amortization of real estate assets. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. We do not have any investments in unconsolidated partnerships or joint ventures. We believe FFO provides a useful understanding of our performance to investors and to our management, and when compared to year over year, FFO reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy. It should be noted, however, that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current Nareit definition or may interpret the current Nareit definition differently than the Company does, making comparisons less meaningful.

Core FFO

The Company believes Core FFO is a supplemental financial performance measure that provides investors with additional information to understand the Company’s sustainable performance. The Company calculates Core FFO by adjusting FFO to remove the effect of certain GAAP non-cash income and expense items, unusual and infrequent items that are not expected to impact its operating performance on an ongoing basis, items that affect comparability to prior periods and/or items that are not related to its core real estate operations. Excluded items include severance, write-off of straight-line rent receivables related to prior periods, accelerated stock-based compensation, amortization of above- and below-market lease intangibles (including ground leases), loss on extinguishment of debt, changes in the current expected credit loss reserve, demolition costs and merger-related costs. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Core FFO and, accordingly, the Company’s Core FFO may not be comparable to other REITs.

AFFO

The Company believes AFFO is a supplemental financial performance measure that provides investors appropriate supplemental information to evaluate the ongoing operations of the Company. AFFO is a metric used by management to evaluate the Company’s dividend policy. The Company calculates AFFO by further adjusting Core FFO for the following items: deferred rent, current period straight-line rent adjustments, amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of fees on our real estate related notes receivable, and stock-based compensation. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating AFFO and, accordingly, the Company’s AFFO may not be comparable to other REITs.

FFO, Core FFO and AFFO should not be considered to be more relevant or accurate than the GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating the Company’s operational performance. The method used to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be considered a more relevant measure of operating performance and more prominent than the non-GAAP FFO, Core FFO and AFFO measures and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO, Core FFO and AFFO.

NOI

The Company defines net operating income or loss, or NOI, a non-GAAP financial measure, as rental revenue, less rental expenses, on an accrual basis.

Same Store Properties

In order to evaluate the overall portfolio, management analyzes the NOI of same store properties. The Company defines “same store properties” as properties that were owned and operated for the entirety of both calendar periods being compared and excludes properties under development, re-development, or classified as held for sale. By evaluating same store properties, management is able to monitor the operations of the Company’s existing properties for comparable periods to measure the performance of the current portfolio and readily observe the expected effects of new acquisitions and dispositions on net income. There were 128 same store properties for the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Cash NOI

The Company defines Cash NOI as NOI for its properties excluding the impact of GAAP adjustments to rental revenue and rental expenses, consisting of straight-line rent adjustments, net of write-offs, amortization of above- and below-market lease intangibles (including ground leases) and internal property management fees, then including deferred rent received in cash. Cash NOI is used to evaluate the cash-based performance of the Company’s real estate portfolio. Same store Cash NOI is calculated to exclude non-same store Cash NOI. The Company believes that NOI and Cash NOI both serve as useful supplements to net income because they allow investors and management to measure unlevered property-level operating results and to compare these results to the comparable results of other real estate companies on a consistent basis. Other real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating Cash NOI and, accordingly, the Company’s Cash NOI may not be comparable to other real estate companies. The Company uses both NOI and Cash NOI to make decisions about resource allocations and to assess the property-level performance of the real estate portfolio.
