Insights

Market Research Analyst

The reported earnings and operational results of Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. indicate a mixed financial performance. The decline in net income from $0.34 per diluted share in Q4 2022 to $0.02 in Q4 2023 is substantial, a 93.5% decrease. However, this is contrasted by a stable Funds From Operations (FFO), which remained at $0.37 per diluted share and a slight increase in Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) from $0.41 to $0.38 per diluted share.

The company's strategy of acquiring net lease properties with a weighted average going-in cash cap rate of 7.4% and originating mortgage investments with an initial yield of 9.1%, suggests a focus on high-yield investments. The disposition of properties at a lower exit cap rate of 6.3% compared to the acquisition cap rate indicates a profitable turn on these assets.

It is noteworthy that the company has increased its investment-grade tenant exposure to 65%, which may provide a more stable income stream and reduce risk. The share repurchase program and the increase in dividends reflect a commitment to returning value to shareholders, although the repurchase price above the current share price warrants attention.

Financial Analyst

The financial health of Alpine Income Property Trust can be assessed by looking at its balance sheet and capital markets activities. The company's debt profile shows a net debt to Pro Forma EBITDA ratio of 7.7 times, which is relatively high and could indicate potential leverage concerns. However, the fixed charge coverage ratio of 3.5 times suggests that the company is currently able to cover its debt obligations comfortably.

The use of interest rate swaps to fix the SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) and achieve a weighted average fixed interest rate on its debt mitigates the risk of rising interest rates. The net debt to total enterprise value ratio of 51.1% provides insight into the company's capital structure and suggests a moderate level of leverage relative to the company's market value.

Real Estate Investment Trust Analyst

Alpine Income Property Trust's focus on net lease properties and its portfolio diversification across 35 states and 23 industries provides a broad exposure to the commercial real estate market. The high occupancy rate of 99.1% and the weighted average remaining lease term of 7.0 years offer stability and predictability in cash flows. The emphasis on properties leased to investment-grade tenants aligns with industry best practices and reduces the risk profile of the portfolio.

The revenue sharing agreement with CTO Realty Growth, Inc. introduces an additional income stream, although its impact on the bottom line is modest. The company's guidance for 2024 suggests a cautious but positive outlook, with projected FFO and AFFO per diluted share indicating expectations for continued operational performance.

Investments

During the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company acquired two retail net lease properties for total acquisition volume of $3.0 million at a weighted average going-in cash cap rate of 7.3%. As of the acquisition date, the properties had a weighted average remaining lease term of 9.6 years. The acquired properties are both located in Arkansas, leased to Family Dollar/Dollar Tree, and 100% of annualized cash base rents are generated from a tenant or the parent of a tenant with an investment grade credit rating.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company acquired 14 net lease properties for total acquisition volume of $82.9 million at a weighted average going-in cash cap rate of 7.4%. As of the acquisition date, the properties had a weighted average remaining lease term of 8.7 years and were located in seven states. Approximately 66% of annualized cash base rents acquired are generated from a tenant or the parent of a tenant with an investment grade credit rating.

During the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company originated two first mortgage investments with a total funding commitment of $30.8 million at a weighted average initial yield of 9.2%.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company originated three first mortgage investments with a total funding commitment of $38.6 million at a weighted average initial yield of 9.1%.

The following table presents the Company's three mortgage investments as of December 31, 2023:

Description	Location	Collateral	Funding Commitment	Funded Balance	Coupon Rate	Initial Term
Land Development First Mortgage	Greenwood, IN	33-Acre Development Project Anchored by Wawa	$7.8 million	$7.0 million	8.50%	2 years
Land Development First Mortgage	Antioch, TN	5-Acre Development Project Anchored by Wawa & McDonald’s	$6.8 million	$4.6 million	11.00%	2 years
First Mortgage	Various	41 Retail Properties	$24.0 million	$24.0 million	8.75%	3 years
Total / Weighted Average			$38.6 million	$35.6 million	9.1%

On December 4, 2023, the Company entered into a revenue sharing agreement with a subsidiary of CTO Realty Growth, Inc. (“CTO”), its external manager, whereby the Company is expected to receive a share of the asset management and disposition management fees, leasing commissions, and other fees related to CTO’s management and administration of the 41-property portfolio that serves as collateral to the Company’s $24.0 million first mortgage (the “Revenue Sharing Agreement”). The Company’s share of the fees under the Revenue Sharing Agreement will be based on fees earned by CTO associated with the single tenant properties within the portfolio. The Company’s revenue from the Revenue Sharing Agreement is forecasted to be approximately $24,000 per month and will be reduced as single tenant properties within the portfolio are sold. The forecasted monthly revenue of $24,000 does not include potential revenue sharing income related to disposition management fees and leasing commissions.

Dispositions

During the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company sold two net lease properties for total disposition volume of $8.7 million at a weighted average exit cash cap rate of 7.3%. The sale of the properties generated total gains of $1.6 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company sold 24 net lease properties for total disposition volume of $108.3 million at a weighted average exit cash cap rate of 6.3%. The sale of the properties generated total gains of $9.3 million.

Property Portfolio

The Company’s property portfolio consisted of the following as of December 31, 2023:

Number of Properties	138
Square Feet	3.8 million
Annualized Base Rent	$38.8 million
Weighted Average Remaining Lease Term	7.0 years
States where Properties are Located	35
Occupancy	99.1%
% of Annualized Base Rent Attributable to Investment Grade Rated Tenants (1)(2)	65%
% of Annualized Base Rent Attributable to Credit Rated Tenants (1)(3)	89%
Any differences are a result of rounding. (1) Annualized Base Rent (“ABR”) represents the annualized in-place straight-line base rent required by the tenant’s lease. ABR is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because it is a widely accepted industry measure used by analysts and investors to compare the real estate portfolios and operating performance of REITs. (2) The Company defines an Investment Grade Rated Tenant as a tenant or the parent of a tenant with a credit rating from S&P Global Ratings, Moody’s Investors Service, Fitch Ratings or the National Association of Insurance Commissioners of Baa3, BBB-, or NAIC-2 or higher. If applicable, in the event of a split rating between S&P Global Ratings and Moody’s Investors Services, the Company utilizes the higher of the two ratings as its reference point as to whether a tenant is defined as an Investment Grade Rated Tenant. (3) The Company defines a Credit Rated Tenant as a tenant or the parent of a tenant with a credit rating from S&P Global Ratings, Moody’s Investors Service, Fitch Ratings or the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.

The Company’s property portfolio included the following top tenants that represent 2.0% or greater of the Company's total annualized base rent as of December 31, 2023:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our reported results are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We also disclose Funds From Operations (“FFO”) Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”), and Pro Forma Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Pro Forma EBITDA”), all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they are widely accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs.

FFO, AFFO, and Pro Forma EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements; accordingly, they should not be considered alternatives to net income as a performance measure or cash flows from operations as reported on our statement of cash flows as a liquidity measure and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures.

We compute FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude real estate related depreciation and amortization, as well as extraordinary items (as defined by GAAP) such as net gain or loss from sales of depreciable real estate assets, impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate assets and impairments associated with the implementation of current expected credit losses on commercial loans and investments at the time of origination, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries.

To derive AFFO, we further modify the NAREIT computation of FFO to include other adjustments to GAAP net income related to non-cash revenues and expenses such as loss on extinguishment of debt, amortization of above- and below-market lease related intangibles, straight-line rental revenue, amortization of deferred financing costs, non-cash compensation, and other non-cash income or expense. Such items may cause short-term fluctuations in net income but have no impact on operating cash flows or long-term operating performance. We use AFFO as one measure of our performance when we formulate corporate goals.

To derive Pro Forma EBITDA, GAAP net income or loss is adjusted to exclude extraordinary items (as defined by GAAP), net gain or loss from sales of depreciable real estate assets, impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate assets and real estate related depreciation and amortization, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries, non-cash revenues and expenses such as straight-line rental revenue, amortization of deferred financing costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, above- and below-market lease related intangibles, non-cash compensation, and other non-cash income or expense. Cash interest expense is also excluded from Pro Forma EBITDA, and GAAP net income or loss is adjusted for the annualized impact of acquisitions, dispositions and other similar activities.

FFO is used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers primarily because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains or losses on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. We believe that AFFO is an additional useful supplemental measure for investors to consider because it will help them to better assess our operating performance without the distortions created by other non-cash revenues or expenses. We also believe that Pro Forma EBITDA is an additional useful supplemental measure for investors to consider as it allows for a better assessment of our operating performance without the distortions created by other non-cash revenues, expenses or certain effects of the Company’s capital structure on our operating performance. FFO, AFFO, and Pro Forma EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
