FCPT Announces First Quarter 2026 Financial and Operating Results
Four Corners Property Trust, Inc. (("FCPT" or the "Company", NYSE:FCPT) today announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Management Comments
"FCPT started off 2026 in a strong position. After raising record liquidity and lowering our leverage profile in 2025, we closed on an attractively priced $200 million Term Loan to fund the investment pipeline at a 200+ basis point spread to historical acquisition yields," said CEO Bill Lenehan. "The portfolio continues to perform at a high level, with continued strong collections and occupancy. Our new capital and fortress portfolio gives us the ability to play offense and boost growth."
Rent Collection Update
As of March 31, 2026, the Company has received rent payments representing 99.7% of its portfolio contractual base rent for the quarter ending March 31, 2026.

- On March 31, 2026, FCPT had $1,215 million of outstanding debt, consisting of $590 million of term loans, $625 million of unsecured fixed rate notes and no outstanding revolver balance. FCPT's leverage, as measured by the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDAre, was 5.0x at quarter-end.
- On April 6, 2026, FCPT entered into a new $200 million senior unsecured delayed draw term loan facility with a group of lenders from its existing credit facility. The Term Loan Facility has a seven-year tenor and matures on April 6, 2033. $50 million of the Term Loan Facility was drawn at close and will be used to fund the Company's immediate investment pipeline and other general corporate purposes. The remaining $150 million of delayed draw term loan commitments under the Term Loan Facility are expected to fund additional pipeline acquisitions at the Company's discretion. FCPT expects the remaining delayed draw term loan commitments to be fully funded during late Q2 and early Q3 of 2026. The Term Loan Facility contains a credit margin of 1.25% over SOFR as determined by FCPT's current investment grade ratings of BBB/Baa3 (Fitch/Moody's) on its senior unsecured debt.
