Management Commentary

  • “The Zoned Properties pipeline and capital engine has been turned on…we believe Zoned Properties will see a material increase in shareholder value as a result of the continued fueling of our pipeline and capital engine.” — Bryan McLaren, CEO .
  • “Over the past few years we have focused heavily on building a strong foundation of real estate services…We believe Zoned Properties is extremely well positioned to begin aggressively pursuing market share and to deploy capital into attractive real estate investment and acquisition targets.” — Bryan McLaren, CEO .
  • Q2 framing of strategy: “We are focused on investing in the growth and diversity of our top line revenue while maintaining positive cash flow from operations…Our full spectrum of real estate services have been intentionally positioned and designed to feed a strong pipeline of acquisition targets for our Investment Portfolio.” — Bryan McLaren, CEO .

Q&A Highlights

  • No earnings call or Q&A transcript was filed or available for Q3 2022; no management Q&A clarifications to report [ListDocuments showed no earnings-call-transcript; 8-K press release only] .

Estimates Context

  • Wall Street consensus (S&P Global) was not available in the company’s filings or press materials; no formal external consensus figures were cited for Q3’22, and the press release did not guide to revenue or EPS .
  • Given the absence of published consensus and no quantitative guidance, estimate revisions are unlikely until new acquisition announcements or subsequent filings provide incremental visibility .

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Revenue inflected positively in Q3 with broad-based gains across rents and services; sequential recovery from Q2 suggests execution momentum as brokerage/advisory pipelines convert, while rent uplift from prior tenant investments supports Property Portfolio revenue .
  • The $4.5M credit facility is a near-term catalyst: expect incremental property acquisitions and potential NOI growth; watch for transaction announcements and redeployment pace as primary stock drivers .
  • Operating expense growth is purposeful (people, brokerage fees) to scale services; monitor operating leverage as services revenue expands and as acquired assets add stable NNN cash flow .
  • Tenant concentration remains the principal structural risk; diversification via new tenants/markets would be a medium‑term de‑risking milestone .
  • Liquidity position (cash + operating cash flow + facility) is adequate for near-term execution; limited capex needs given NNN model, but watch cash trends as acquisitions close .
  • No formal guidance and no analyst consensus mean the narrative (deal flow, lease economics, service wins) will drive sentiment short term; position sizing should reflect micro-cap liquidity and concentration risk .
