For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company generated total revenue of approximately $12.1 million, representing a 6.5% decrease compared to $12.9 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease was driven by the loss of rental income from three properties that became available for lease during 2025. The decrease was partially offset by annual contractual rent escalations, a full quarter of rental income from two Ohio dispensaries acquired in 2025, and rental income associated with improvement allowances funded for one Ohio dispensary.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company generated total revenue of approximately $24.4 million, representing a 6.7% decrease compared to $26.1 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease was driven by the loss of rental income from three properties that became available for lease during 2025. The decrease was partially offset by annual contractual rent escalations, a full six months of rental income from two Ohio dispensaries acquired in 2025, and rental income associated with improvement allowances funded for one Ohio dispensary.
The decline in AFFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily driven by the loss of rental income and additional property carrying costs associated with properties available for lease, resulting in decreases of approximately 10.4% and 8.2%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2025.
Investment Activity
Portfolio and Tenant Updates
The Cannabist Company
On March 24, 2026, The Cannabist Company ("Cannabist"), which operates at four of the Company's properties, including two properties located in Illinois and two properties located in Massachusetts, publicly announced that it had entered into definitive agreements to sell certain assets and entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding for the sale of certain production, manufacturing, distribution and sale operations (through the sale of equity or assets) in six states, including Illinois and Massachusetts, where we lease properties to Cannabist, and commenced restructuring proceedings under the Companies Creditors Arrangement Act ("CCAA") in Canada. On May 9, 2026, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware granted recognition of the Canadian restructuring proceedings under Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The Company continues to monitor developments related to this tenant and its restructuring proceedings.
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we collected full rent for each of the four properties leased to Cannabist and the tenant remains current on its contractual lease obligations to us. We hold aggregate security deposits totaling approximately $481.6 thousand across these four properties.
In July 2026, Vireo Growth Inc. announced that it entered into a definitive agreement (subject to customary closing conditions) with Cannabist to acquire certain cannabis operations in five states, including Illinois and Massachusetts, where we lease properties to Cannabist. We continue to monitor developments related to Cannabist, the proposed transaction, and their impact, if any, on our leased properties and contractual lease obligations.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
Funds From Operations
The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") definition. NAREIT currently defines FFO as follows: net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by an entity. Other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently and therefore the Company's computation of FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs.
Adjusted Funds From Operations
The Company calculates AFFO by starting with FFO and adjusting for non-cash and certain non-recurring transactions, including non-cash components of compensation expense and the effect of provisions for credit loss. Other REITs may not define AFFO in the same manner and therefore the Company's calculation of AFFO may not be comparable to such other REITs. You should not consider FFO and AFFO to be alternatives to net income as a reliable measure of our operating performance; nor should you consider FFO and AFFO to be alternatives to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities (as defined by GAAP) as measures of liquidity.
The table below is a reconciliation of net income attributable to common stockholders to FFO and AFFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):
