Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. (PINE)·Q1 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q1 2025 delivered stable cash metrics with FFO/AFFO of $0.44 per diluted share (+7.3% and +4.8% YoY), total revenues of $14.206M, and a GAAP diluted EPS loss of $(0.08) due primarily to an impairment charge and higher interest expense .
- Versus Wall Street: revenue beat ($14.206M vs $13.93M consensus*), FFO/share beat ($0.44 vs $0.431*), but GAAP EPS missed (−$0.08 vs ~$0.00 consensus*)—the miss was driven by a $2.031M impairment and interest expense .
- Guidance raised: 2025 FFO/AFFO/share to $1.74–$1.77 (from $1.70–$1.73), investments to $70–$100M (from $50–$80M), dispositions to $50–$70M (from $20–$30M), and diluted shares lowered to 15.5–16.0M (from 16.0–16.5M) .
- Catalysts: active capital recycling (14.3-year WALT on acquisitions), opportunistic buybacks ($7.6M total noted across Q1 and post-quarter), and a new interest rate swap fixing $50M at 3.43%—all supporting higher full-year guidance and dividend sustainability .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Elevated investment yields and longer lease terms: $79.2M closed at a 9.0% initial cash yield; property acquisitions’ WALT 14.3 years, lifting portfolio WALT to 9.0 years .
- Active portfolio pruning and liquidity enhancement: $11.7M of dispositions at a 9.1% exit cap rate; continued reduction of Walgreens exposure with one sale closed in April and another expected in May .
- Management executed rate and equity actions: “opportunistically executed a SOFR swap…$50 million…3.43%” and continued share repurchases, supporting FFO/AFFO per share and improved guidance .
- Quote: “We…completed investments that approached $80 million…weighted average initial cash yield of 9.0%…should support our ability to continue to deliver strong results.” — CEO John Albright .
What Went Wrong
- GAAP earnings pressure: Q1 net loss attributable to PINE was $(1.179)M and diluted GAAP EPS of $(0.08), reflecting a $2.031M impairment charge and higher interest expense ($3.592M) .
- Leverage elevated: Net Debt/Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA at 7.9x; Net Debt/TEV 57.1% at quarter-end, though maturities are staggered with no debt maturing until 2026 .
- Near-term income headwinds from vacancies: Party City paid Q1 but rent ceases afterward; Reno theater has negative NOI; management expects vacant sales this year (included at the high end of dispositions), contributing to guidance assumptions of zero rent for these assets .

Management Commentary
- “We completed investments that approached $80 million with a weighted average initial cash yield of 9.0%…our property portfolio with a weighted average remaining lease term of 9.0 years…should support our ability to continue to deliver strong results.” — John P. Albright, CEO .
- “Total revenue was $14.2 million…FFO and AFFO…$0.44 per diluted share…we opportunistically repurchased approximately 274,000 common shares…[and] executed a SOFR swap fixing…$50 million…3.43%…We are increasing both our FFO and AFFO guidance…to a range of $1.74 to $1.77.” — Philip R. Mays, CFO .
- “Our transaction activity…focused on buying a mix of high credit tenants…[and] opportunistically selling properties that reduce portfolio risk…and extending our WALT.” — John P. Albright .
Q&A Highlights
- Guidance drivers: The raise was driven roughly equally by buybacks (~$7.6M at ~$15.15 avg), the $50M swap (floating ~6% to ~5%), and investment volume/timing/cap rates—each adding ~$0.01–$0.015 to EPS guidance .
- Capital allocation: Balancing buybacks (NAV accretive) with acquisitions/investments; expects loan maturities and asset sales to provide debt paydown capacity and acquisition dry powder .
- Dispositions cap rates: Mix expected to be lower than Q1’s 9.1% as sales may include non-income properties; portfolio pruning continues (Walgreens) .
- Walgreens outlook: Sycamore ownership viewed as stabilizing; private market interest emerging to repurpose sites, improving sentiment over the last ~60 days .
- Dollar Tree/Family Dollar exposure: ~31 total; ~25 Family Dollar, with roughly half retaining Dollar Tree credit post-spin; average remaining term 8+ years .
- Vacancies: Party City paid Q1 then ceases payments; theater has negative NOI; vacant asset sales included at high end of dispositions; rent assumed zero in guidance .
Estimates Context
- Why the mixed outcome: Revenue and FFO beats reflect incremental lease and interest income from investment activity and disciplined capital actions (buybacks, swap); GAAP EPS miss was driven by a $2.031M impairment and higher interest expense in the quarter .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Cash flow stability intact: FFO/AFFO/share sustained at $0.44 with a 65% AFFO payout ratio, supporting the $0.285 quarterly dividend and a sector-high yield profile .
- Positive estimate momentum likely: Raised 2025 FFO/AFFO guidance and reduced share count assumptions—constructive for per-share metrics and potential consensus revisions .
- Active de-risking and portfolio quality: Accelerated Walgreens reduction and sale of short-WALT/underperforming assets; acquisitions bring 14.3-year WALT and high initial yields .
- Balance sheet watch: Leverage at 7.9x Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, but maturities are well staggered and liquidity ~$65M with potential to expand via facility capacity as assets are added .
- Capital allocation catalyst: Continued buybacks at discounts to NAV, coupled with structured finance returns and swap-driven interest savings, offer near-term EPS tailwinds .
- Tactical vacancy management: Expected sales of Party City and Reno theater assets should alleviate drag and could support leverage normalization in 2H25 .
- Trading implications: Near-term—focus on FFO/AFFO beats and guidance raise; medium-term—watch dispositions mix/cap rates, Walgreens pace, loan repayments, and accretive redeployment to sustain per-share growth .
