    Question

    Wes Golladay asked for clarification on the components of the reported Annualized Base Rent (ABR), specifically regarding the Prospect and Steward situations.

    Question

    Wesley Golladay asked for clarification on the drivers of the accelerating RevPOR growth in the SHOP portfolio, questioning whether it was primarily due to a mix shift or higher move-in rates.

    Answer

    J. Justin Hutchens, EVP - CIO of Senior Housing, stated that mix shift was not a material factor. He attributed the strong RevPOR growth to successful price-volume optimization driven by the Ventas OI platform, which resulted in higher move-in rents and sustained in-place rent increases, allowing the company to effectively drive both occupancy and rate.

    Wesley Golladay inquired about the seasonality of attrition for annual RV sites and whether guidance assumes this number will grow or shrink in 2025. He also asked for a segmentation of Thousand Trails members to better understand churn.

    Answer

    Executive Patrick Waite attributed recent attrition to post-COVID normalization and hurricane impacts. CEO Marguerite Nader explained that churn in lower-tier promotional memberships is linked to reduced RV dealer leads and lower transient activity at properties, which are the primary sources for new, entry-level pass sales.

    Question

    Wesley Golladay from Baird asked about the strategy for seeding the new private fund and inquired about the expected unlevered return or stabilized yield on the recent European retail park acquisitions.

    Wesley Golladay of Baird asked about the development pipeline, specifically inquiring about the expected lease-up timing for the non-retail portion and whether the company anticipates achieving incremental yield on these more speculative projects.

    Question

    Wesley Golladay inquired about the increased costs for shadow pipeline projects like Camden Baker and Camden Gulch, and also asked for an update on land pricing relative to its peak.

    Answer

    President and CFO Alexander Jessett clarified that the cost increases on the development projects are not due to market-wide inflation but are a result of substantial redesigns and enhancements to build a better product. Chairman and CEO Richard Campo addressed land pricing, stating it is likely down 15-20% from the peak. However, he noted that transaction volume is low because landowners are not forced sellers and are unwilling to sell into a weak market, making it difficult to pinpoint exact pricing.

    Wesley Golladay of Baird asked about FCPT's process for underwriting smaller franchisees and inquired how much of the current deal flow stems from new relationships versus long-term tracking of assets.

    Answer

    CEO William Lenehan clarified that FCPT's 'small' franchisees are typically very large compared to peers, often in the 'Franchise Times 100' category, and franchisee credit is not a large part of their business. He stated that while new relationships contribute, much of the recent deal flow comes from long-tracked opportunities where sellers are now more willing to meet on price due to FCPT's advantaged cost of capital and macro uncertainty.

    Asked for details on a specific vacating anchor lease, the potential for higher tenant improvement costs for an entertainment concept, the company's sensitivity to its stock price for pursuing acquisitions, and the quality of the assets in the acquisition pipeline.

    Answer

    The vacating anchor represents a very small portion of ABR and has significant mark-to-market potential from its current $6/sqft rent. Higher tenant improvement costs for an entertainment concept are expected but would be balanced by higher rents. The company is sensitive to its stock price but feels good about the FFO yield on target assets. The assets in the pipeline are considered some of the highest quality the company has pursued in the last 10-13 years.
