What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Industrial pivot is paying off: “transformation of our portfolio to primarily industrial properties contributed positively to our results,” with additional industrial acquisition contracted and three non-industrial assets sold, enhancing cash flow stability .
- FFO/AFFO growth: FFO increased to $9.7m ($0.45/share), AFFO to $10.6m ($0.49/share), supported by higher rental income despite rising interest and real estate expenses .
- Asset recycling created value: $6.5m gain on sales in Q2 and announced additional Q3 gains ($2.9m Lakewood land; $2.5m Eugene retail), reinforcing capital recycling discipline .
What Went Wrong
- Interest expense pressure: net expenses rose to $5.9m from $4.7m YoY primarily due to higher interest expense and larger average debt balances; Q2 interest expense was $5.847m .
- GAAP EPS down YoY: diluted EPS declined to $0.39 vs $0.45 in Q2 2024 despite gains on sales, reflecting higher interest and operating costs and share count dilution .
- RE expenses and D&A rose: total operating expenses increased to $15.7m vs $14.9m YoY, driven by real estate expenses rebilled to tenants and higher depreciation/amortization from recent acquisitions .

Estimates Context

- Revenue: Slight miss ($24.545m actual vs $24.999m consensus*) despite 12.3% YoY rental income growth; interest and expense dynamics offset headline growth in operating leverage .
- FFO/share: Slight miss ($0.45 actual vs $0.46 consensus*), with higher interest expense and real estate expenses partially offsetting rental income strength .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Industrial mix and same-store drivers underpin cash flow stability; continued acquisitions and dispositions should sustain rental income trajectory even amid rate headwinds .
- Expect near-term estimate adjustments: GAAP EPS likely revised higher on realized gains; FFO/share tweaks modestly lower given persistent interest expense .
- Liquidity and revolver capacity (~$115.5m) provide dry powder for accretive industrial acquisitions, supporting AFFO growth potential through 2H25 .
- Watch rate path and debt structure: elevated interest expense remains the primary pressure point; new debt for acquisitions (e.g., 5.77% IO) should be monitored for coverage metrics .
- Dividend stability continues (130th consecutive quarterly dividend at $0.45), reinforcing shareholder return profile during the portfolio transition .
- Asset recycling remains a catalyst: expected Q3 gains (Lakewood, Eugene) could drive non-GAAP beats and GAAP volatility—focus on underlying FFO/AFFO to gauge core run-rate .
- Trendline: FFO/AFFO growth with incremental operating scale from industrial assets; near-term narrative likely driven by execution on acquisitions and balance sheet optimization .
