Nate Crossett's questions to Sila Realty Trust Inc (SILA) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Nate Crossett of BNP Paribas inquired about the asset types and pricing for the $70 million of properties under LOI, the rationale for the updated share buyback program, and any tenants on the watchlist.
Answer
President and CEO Michael Seton clarified the LOI is for over $70 million in properties consistent with their current portfolio, with cap rates in the upper end of their low-6s to mid-7s range. He explained the new three-year, $75 million share repurchase program is a tool to capture value when a significant dislocation exists between the share price and private market values, though the company's bias remains toward growth via acquisitions. Regarding the watchlist, Seton noted that Landmark Hospitals is in bankruptcy but remains current on rent, and he anticipates a positive resolution within approximately 60 days.
