Earnings Call Themes & Trends

Management Commentary

• CEO: “We have stabilized the portfolio, extended weighted average lease term and believe these efforts position us to generate sustained earnings growth in the future” . “2025 marked a year of accelerating portfolio transformation…Net of lease-related termination income, we believe 2025 should be the bottom for core FFO per share” .
• CFO: “We are raising our full-year core FFO guidance to $0.74–$0.76 per share…primarily caused by lease termination income…approximately $0.05 per share for 2025” . “We further reduced our borrowings under the credit facility revolver to $92 million during October…we fully expect to be successful [with extension/refinance]” .

Q&A Highlights

• Guidance puts/takes: CFO emphasized Fresno lease termination income ($0.05/share) and declining interest expense supporting Q4; clarified free‑rent bridges ending from prior signings .
• Pipeline/demand: CEO noted pipeline shrink reflects executed deals and smaller portfolio, not demand weakness; demand remains constructive with fewer expected vacancies next year .
• Acquisition posture: Management is highly selective; expects modest DUA additions over the next 12 months with focus on pricing, location, and duration (“Goldilocks” approach) .

Estimates Context

• ONL’s Q3 revenue slightly exceeded S&P Global consensus ($37.1M actual vs $36.4M estimate) indicating a modest beat; Street EPS consensus was unavailable for comparison in Q3 2025.* Actuals: $37.122M revenue, $(1.23) GAAP diluted EPS . Estimates: Revenue Consensus Mean $36.400M*; Primary EPS Consensus Mean unavailable*.
• Given FY25 guidance raised on one‑time termination income, we expect consensus Core FFO and EBITDA assumptions to reflect this non‑recurring benefit and improve leverage trajectory (see guidance table) .
• Values marked with * retrieved from S&P Global.

Key Takeaways for Investors

• Raised FY25 Core FFO and leverage guidance is a near‑term positive; watch Q4 realization of remaining Fresno termination income (~$0.03/share) .
• Leasing remains constructive with longer WALT and positive rent spreads; CapEx intensity will stay elevated as TI disbursements ramp, pressuring FAD near‑term .
• Balance sheet/liquidity improved (liquidity $273M; net debt/Adj EBITDA 6.75x); continued vacancy sales and disciplined capital recycling de‑risk the portfolio .
• Credit facility refinancing/extension (May 2026 maturity) is a key 2026 overhang; management cites productive discussions—news here will be a stock driver .
• Occupancy dipped to 72.8% but management expects material improvement in 2026 as leasing progresses and vacancy sales close; rollover risk notably lower next year .
• Strategic pivot to DUAs (government, medical, lab, flex) should enhance renewal prospects and cash flow durability over time; DUA ABR share up to ~33.9% .
• Monitor impairment cadence and disposition execution (e.g., Deerfield IL land sale), which can drive GAAP volatility but aid leverage and portfolio quality .
