Insights

Financial Analyst

Alpine Income Property Trust's Q3 2024 results show strong performance and strategic growth. Key highlights include:

• Significant earnings growth: FFO per diluted share increased 21.6% to $0.45, while AFFO per diluted share rose 15.8% to $0.44.
• Robust acquisition activity: Acquired 4 properties for $37.5 million at an attractive 8.8% cap rate, enhancing portfolio yield.
• Strategic dispositions: Sold 8 properties for $48.6 million, generating $3.4 million in gains and improving overall portfolio quality.
• Improved portfolio metrics: Increased weighted average remaining lease term to 8.8 years from 6.6 years, strengthening long-term stability.
• Dividend increase: Raised quarterly dividend to $0.28 per share, yielding 6.3%.
• Guidance upgrade: Raised full-year 2024 FFO and AFFO guidance, reflecting confidence in continued growth.

The company's focus on high-quality tenants (52% investment-grade) and diversified portfolio across 34 states provides stability. The strategic recycling of capital from lower-yielding assets into higher-yield investments demonstrates effective management and potential for continued NOI growth. With a conservative leverage ratio and improved fixed charge coverage, PINE is well-positioned for sustainable growth in the net lease sector.

Real Estate Investment Specialist

Alpine Income Property Trust's Q3 results reveal a savvy approach to portfolio management in the net lease REIT sector. The company's strategy of pruning lower-yielding assets and reinvesting in higher-yield properties is paying off, as evidenced by the impressive 21.6% year-over-year growth in FFO per share.

The acquisition of four properties at an 8.8% cap rate is particularly noteworthy in the current market environment, where finding attractive yields has been challenging. The $31.4 million sale-leaseback transaction with Beachside Hospitality Group, featuring 30-year leases and 2% annual escalations, adds significant long-term value to the portfolio.

PINE's ability to increase its weighted average remaining lease term to 8.8 years enhances the stability of its cash flows, which is important for maintaining and growing its attractive dividend yield, now at 6.3%. The company's focus on credit-rated tenants (83% of ABR) and its diverse geographic footprint mitigate risks associated with tenant defaults and regional economic fluctuations.

The raised guidance for 2024 suggests management's confidence in executing its strategy and capitalizing on market opportunities. Investors should view PINE's performance and outlook positively, as it demonstrates the company's ability to create value in a competitive real estate market.

Investments 

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company acquired four net leased retail properties leased to two tenants for $37.5 million at a weighted average initial cap rate of 8.8%. One property was acquired for $6.1 million and is leased to investment grade rated Golf Galaxy (Dick’s Sporting Goods). The other three properties, all located in the greater Tampa Bay, Florida area, were purchased through a sale-leaseback transaction with a subsidiary of Beachside Hospitality Group for $31.4 million and have leases with a 30-year term and 2.0% annual escalations (the “Tampa Properties”). The Tampa Properties are adequately insured; accordingly, the Company expects no material impact on cash flows from rental payments from these tenants as a result of the recent storms in the greater Tampa Bay area.

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company purchased and amended one first mortgage construction loan, secured by a Publix-anchored shopping center and three outparcels located in Charlotte, North Carolina. The loan has a total funding commitment of $17.8 million, of which $10.0 million was funded during the quarter ended September 30, 2024, an initial yield of 10.25%, and a term of one year. The rate of the loan increases by 0.25% every 30 days to a maximum rate of 11.00%. However, upon certain leasing criteria being met, the rate will be lowered to 9.50%.

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, investment activities, which include the Company’s property and structured investment portfolios, totaled $55.3 million at a weighted average yield of 9.2%.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, investment activities, which include the Company’s property and structured investment portfolios, totaled $84.2 million at a weighted average yield of 9.4%.

Dispositions

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company sold eight net lease properties leased to Walgreens (two), LA Fitness, Hobby Lobby, Lowes Home Improvement, Chick-fil-A, Tractor Supply, and Long John Silvers, for total disposition volume of $48.6 million at a weighted average exit cash cap rate of 6.8%. The sale of the properties generated aggregate gains of $3.4 million.

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, disposition activities, which include the Company’s property and structured investment portfolios, totaled $48.6 million at a weighted average exit cash cap rate of 6.8%.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, disposition activities, which include the Company’s property and structured investment portfolios, totaled $68.8 million at a weighted average exit cash cap rate of 7.0%.

Property Portfolio

The Company’s property portfolio ⁽¹⁾ consisted of the following as of September 30, 2024:

Number of Properties	133
Square Feet	3.6 million
Annualized Base Rent	$41.5 million
Weighted Average Remaining Lease Term (2)	8.8 years
States where Properties are Located	34
Occupancy	99.1%
% of Annualized Base Rent Attributable to Investment Grade Rated Tenants (3)(4)	52%
% of Annualized Base Rent Attributable to Credit Rated Tenants (3)(5)	83%

(1)	For GAAP purposes, the Tampa Properties are accounted for as a financing arrangement and, as such, the related assets and corresponding revenue are included in the Company’s commercial loans and investments on its consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations. However, for purposes of describing our property portfolio, including for tenant, industry, and state concentrations, the Company includes the Tampa Properties, as they constitute real estate assets for both legal and tax purposes.
(2)	Calculation of weighted average remaining lease term does not assume exercise of any tenant purchase options.
(3)	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.
(4)	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.
(5)	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 ABR as of September 30, 2024:

Tenant		Credit Rating (1)		% of Annualized Base Rent

The Company calculates total enterprise value as the sum of net debt and the market value of the Company's outstanding common shares and OP Units, as if the OP Units have been redeemed for common shares. 

As of September 30, 2024, the Company held a 92.1% interest in Alpine Income Property OP, LP, the Company’s operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership” or “OP”). There were 1,223,854 OP Units held by third parties outstanding and 14,251,933 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding, for total outstanding common stock and OP Units held by third parties of 15,475,787 as of September 30, 2024.

Forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and assumptions regarding capital market conditions, the Company’s business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. As a result, the Company’s actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include general business and economic conditions, continued volatility and uncertainty in the credit markets and broader financial markets, risks inherent in the real estate business, including tenant defaults, potential liability relating to environmental matters, credit risk associated with the Company investing in first mortgage investments, illiquidity of real estate investments and potential damages from natural disasters, the impact of epidemics or pandemics (such as the COVID-19 Pandemic and its variants) on the Company’s business and the business of its tenants and the impact of such epidemics or pandemics on the U.S. economy and market conditions generally, other factors affecting the Company’s business or the business of its tenants that are beyond the control of the Company or its tenants, and the factors set forth under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and other risks and uncertainties discussed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 Adjusted 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 Adjusted 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 Adjusted 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 impairments associated with the implementation of current expected credit losses on commercial loans and investments at the time of origination and/or payoff, 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, other non-cash income or expense, and other non-recurring items such as disposition management fees and commission fees. Cash interest expense is also excluded from Pro Forma Adjusted 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 Adjusted 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 Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
