Executive Summary

Revenue of $39.53M, up 5.4% QoQ and above Wall Street consensus of $38.32M; EPS of $0.03 missed consensus $0.063 due to higher interest expense and elevated G&A, while Core FFO rose to $0.35 per share (+2.9% QoQ) .*
Portfolio occupancy remained strong at 98.7% with 100% cash rent collections; acquisitions of two fully-occupied industrial facilities totaled $79.3M at an 8.88% cap rate, and non-core dispositions continued as part of capital recycling .
Balance sheet actions included increased revolver borrowings ($94.4M at quarter-end), ongoing interest rate hedging (swaps on $310M) and readiness to use equity ATM, terming out debt, and potential private placements to manage leverage (goal not to press leverage) .
Distributions were maintained at $0.30 for Q3 (July–September); management continues to target higher industrial mix (~67% of straight-line rent in Q2, with a near-term goal of 70%) and emphasizes reshoring/onshoring tailwinds .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

Core FFO increased to $16.1M ($0.35 per share) on higher revenues from acquisitions and a lower net incentive fee; same-store rent growth and 100% rent collections underpin stabilized revenue .
Quote: “Our financial results reflect consistent performance and stabilized revenues… accretive real estate investments… our ability to renew tenants, and our deleveraging.” — Buzz Cooper
Strategic capital deployment: acquired two industrial facilities for $79.3M at an 8.88% cap rate; occupancy 98.7%; industrial concentration rose to 67% of annualized straight-line rent .
Continued capital recycling: sold two non-core assets (one office for $5.1M and one industrial for $18.5M), realized gains on sale, and renewed/leased additional space; pipeline active with multiple LOIs .

What Went Wrong

EPS declined QoQ ($0.03 vs $0.04) and missed consensus, driven by higher interest expense from variable-rate debt and elevated G&A (annual meeting expenses, write-offs) .
Leverage ticked up with higher revolver usage ($94.4M), though management prefers deleveraging and is exploring refinancing, ATM equity sales, and term loans to reduce floating exposure .
Macro uncertainty (tariffs, rates) lengthened decision cycles; management highlighted cautious underwriting despite competitive acquisition markets and cap rates trending in the high-8s .

Management Commentary

Strategic focus: Emphasis on disciplined underwriting, high-quality mission-critical industrial assets, and accretive acquisitions while recycling non-core office .
Quote: “We will continue to opportunistically sell non-core assets and redeploy the proceeds into stronger target growth markets with a focus on industrial investment opportunities.” — Buzz Cooper
Confidence in tenant quality and collections: 100% rent collections YTD and in July; expectation that tenants navigate macro conditions .
Quote: “We feel strongly about the depth of our tenant credit underwriting… We anticipate our tenants will successfully navigate the current economic climate.” — Buzz Cooper
Portfolio/operating discipline: Active pipeline with multiple LOIs; careful screening of opportunities; maintaining balanced leverage and liquidity via line of credit, ATM, and potential term debt/private placements .

Q&A Highlights

Acquisition pipeline: Six LOIs and ~20 active transactions; potential ~$50M award near-term; expects seasonal uptick post-summer .
Incentive fee waiver: Management evaluates quarterly to balance shareholder alignment with employee retention; waiver reduced net incentive fee in Q2 .
G&A and Core FFO adjustments: Elevated G&A tied to annual meeting and core FFO adjustments (prepaid offering cost write-off, closing costs) .
Leverage strategy: Preference not to increase leverage; intent to pay down revolver via ATM equity and explore refinancing/term loans/private placements .
Cap rates and underwriting: Industrial cap rates in high-8s; not expecting 9s; underwriting remains disciplined; no meaningful tenant stress observed .

Estimates Context

Q2 2025 results versus S&P Global consensus: Revenue beat; EPS miss.

Metric	Consensus (S&P)	Actual (S&P)	Surprise
Revenue ($USD Millions)	$38.318*	$39.533	+$1.215M — bold beat
Primary EPS ($USD)	$0.0633*	$0.0235*	-$0.0398 — bold miss

Values marked with * retrieved from S&P Global.

EPS definitions: Company reported GAAP net income per share to common and OP unitholders of $0.03, while S&P’s “Primary EPS” actual prints at $0.0235; differences reflect metric definitions and share base treatment .*

Consensus breadth: 3 EPS estimates, 4 revenue estimates (Q2 2025) — supports meaningful but modest coverage.*

Key Takeaways for Investors

Revenue beat with strong occupancy and 100% collections; EPS miss driven by higher interest expense and elevated G&A/core adjustments — near-term models should reflect higher interest burden and seasonal G&A .*
Core FFO per share increased to $0.35; underlying cash flow remains resilient, supported by accretive acquisitions and variable rent recoveries .
Industrial concentration and reshoring/onshoring tailwinds support multi-year leasing and rent growth; pipeline activity (LOIs) suggests potential near-term acquisition catalysts .
Balance sheet: expect actions to reduce revolver and term out debt; watch for ATM usage and possible private placements/refinancing updates — deleveraging stance should cap downside risk from rates .
Capital recycling: continued sale of non-core office with proceeds redeployed to higher-yielding industrial; monitor pricing spreads between office exits and industrial acquisitions .
Leasing: modest positive rent spreads (~2–2.5%), proactive engagement on 2026–27 expirations; WALT at 7.1 years underscores contract duration .
Trading implications: Near term, stock may react to EPS miss versus revenue/FFO beat; medium term, narrative hinges on portfolio industrialization, acquisition execution at attractive cap rates, and visible deleveraging path — a constructive setup if pipeline closes and financing costs moderate .*
