Financial Results

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, IIP generated total revenues of $69.0 million, compared to $71.7 million for the same period in 2025, a decrease of 3.8%. The decline was primarily driven by a $6.9 million decrease related to tenant defaults, partially offset by increases due to annual contractual rent escalations, rental revenue related to the property acquired in February 2025 and new leases executed on existing properties.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company applied $1.2 million of security deposits for payment of rent on properties leased to Battle Green and The Cannabist Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we applied $5.8 million of security deposits for payment of rent on properties leased to PharmaCann, Gold Flora, TILT and Sozo.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, interest and other income increased by $4.6 million to $6.3 million compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by the recognition of $5.5 million of interest and dividend income related to our financial investments in IQHQ. The increase was partially offset by lower income from interest-bearing investments as a result of lower invested balances and lower interest rates earned on those balances.

Dividend

On March 13, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a first quarter 2026 dividend of $1.90 per common share, representing an annualized dividend of $7.60 per common share. The dividend was paid on April 15, 2026 to stockholders of record as of March 31, 2026.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Funds From Operations (FFO)

FFO and FFO per share are operating performance measures adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (NAREIT). NAREIT defines FFO as the most commonly accepted and reported measure of a REIT's operating performance equal to net income, computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, depreciation, amortization and impairment related to real estate properties, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. IIP also excludes from FFO any disposition-contingent lease termination fee received in connection with a property sale.

Management believes that net income, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measurement. However, management believes FFO and FFO per share to be supplemental measures of a REIT's performance because they provide an understanding of the operating performance of IIP's properties without giving effect to certain significant non-cash items, primarily depreciation expense. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions. IIP believes that by excluding the effect of depreciation, FFO and FFO per share can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods. IIP reports FFO and FFO per share because these measures are observed by management to also be the predominant measures used by the REIT industry and by industry analysts to evaluate REITs and because FFO per share is consistently reported, discussed, and compared by research analysts in their notes and publications about REITs. For these reasons, management has deemed it appropriate to disclose and discuss FFO and FFO per share.

Normalized Funds from Operations (Normalized FFO)

IIP computes Normalized FFO by adjusting FFO, as defined by NAREIT, to exclude certain GAAP income and expense amounts that management believes are infrequent and unusual in nature and/or not related to IIP's core real estate operations. Exclusion of these items from similar FFO-type metrics is common within the equity REIT industry, and management believes that presentation of Normalized FFO and Normalized FFO per share provides investors with a metric to assist in their evaluation of IIP's operating performance across multiple periods and in comparison to the operating performance of other companies, because it removes the effect of unusual items that are not expected to impact IIP's operating performance on an ongoing basis. Normalized FFO is used by management in evaluating the performance of IIP's core business operations.

Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)

Management believes that AFFO and AFFO per share are also appropriate supplemental measures of a REIT's operating performance. IIP calculates AFFO by adjusting Normalized FFO for certain non-cash items.

IIP's computation of FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such REITs. Further, FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flow available for management's discretionary use. FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of IIP's financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of IIP's liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund IIP's cash needs, including IIP's ability to pay dividends or make distributions. FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO should be considered only as supplements to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as measures of IIP's operations.
