Green Holdings LLC, which also included an increase to base rent;
and

Financial Results
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, IIP generated total
revenues of $79.8 million, compared to $76.5 million for the same
period in 2023, an increase of 4%. The increase was primarily due
to (a) a $3.9 million disposition-contingent lease termination fee
paid to IIP concurrently with the sale of IIP’s Los Angeles,
California property; and (b) a $3.6 million increase to contractual
rent and property management fees, which was primarily driven by
contractual rent escalations, amendments to leases for additional
improvement allowances at existing properties that resulted in
adjustments to rent and new leases entered into since March 31,
2023. The increase was partially offset by a $2.9 million decline
in contractual rent and property management fees received during
the three months ended June 30, 2024 related to properties that IIP
took back possession of since March 2023, and a decrease as a
result of $1.3 million in rent received but not recognized in total
revenues due to a re-classification of two sales-type leases
starting January 1, 2024.
Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2024
increased by $1.7 million to $4.0 million, compared to $2.3 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was
primarily due to cash interest received on IIP’s secured
construction loan for a property in California where IIP is the
lender (including a loan maturity extension fee paid to IIP of $0.3
million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 to extend the
maturity date of the construction loan to December 31, 2024).
While IIP has re-leased several properties taken back since
March 2023, rent commencement on certain of those properties is
contingent on the tenants obtaining the requisite approvals to
operate, and temporary rent abatements in certain instances as
tenants transition into the properties and commence operations. As
a result, IIP does not expect to recognize rental revenue from
those properties until that has occurred.
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, $0.6 million in
security deposits were applied for rent, of which $0.5 million was
replenished by a tenant in July. Rental revenue received for the
three months ended June 30, 2023 included the application of $1.5
million of security deposits for payment of rent.
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, IIP recorded net
income attributable to common stockholders of $41.7 million, or
$1.44 per share; funds from operations (FFO) of $58.7 million, or
$2.06 per share; Normalized FFO of $58.8 million, or $2.06 per
share; and AFFO of $65.5 million, or $2.29 per share.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, IIP recorded net income
attributable to common stockholders of approximately $80.7 million,
or $2.79 per diluted share; FFO of approximately $114.9 million, or
$4.03 per diluted share; Normalized FFO of approximately $115.3
million, or $4.04 per diluted share; and AFFO of approximately
$128.5 million, or $4.50 per diluted share.
IIP paid a quarterly dividend of $1.90 per common share on July
15, 2024 to stockholders of record as of June 28, 2024,
representing a 4.4% increase over IIP’s first quarter 2024 dividend
of $1.82 per share of common stock. The dividend is equivalent to
an annualized dividend of $7.60 per common share and an AFFO payout
ratio of 83% (calculated by dividing the common stock dividend
declared per share by IIP’s AFFO per common share for the second
quarter).
FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO are supplemental non-GAAP financial
measures used in the real estate industry to measure and compare
the operating performance of real estate companies. A complete
reconciliation containing adjustments from GAAP net income
attributable to common stockholders to FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO
and definitions of terms are included at the end of this
release.

_____________________________ (1)
Amount reflects the $3.9 million
disposition-contingent lease termination fee received concurrently
with the sale of IIP’s property in Los Angeles, California, net of
the loss on sale of the property of $3.4 million.
(2)
Amount reflects the non-refundable
interest received on the seller-financed note issued to IIP by the
buyer in connection with IIP’s disposition of a portfolio of four
properties in southern California, which is recognized as a deposit
liability and is included in other liabilities in IIP’s condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024, as the transaction
did not qualify for recognition as a completed sale.
(3)
Amount reflects the non-refundable lease
payments received on two sales-type leases which are recognized as
a deposit liability starting on January 1, 2024, and is included in
other liabilities in IIP’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as
of June 30, 2024, as the transaction did not qualify for
recognition as a completed sale. Prior to the lease modifications
on January 1, 2024, which extended the initial lease terms, the
leases were classified as operating leases and the lease payments
received were recognized as rental revenue and therefore, included
in net income attributable to common stockholders.
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 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.
IIP computes Normalized FFO by adjusting FFO 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 its core business operations. Items included in
calculating FFO that may be excluded in calculating Normalized FFO
include certain transaction-related gains, losses, income or
expense or other non-core amounts as they occur.
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 cash and non-cash items.
For all periods presented other than the three months ended June
30, 2024, FFO (diluted), Normalized FFO, AFFO and FFO, Normalized
FFO and AFFO per diluted share include the dilutive impact of the
assumed full exchange of the Exchangeable Senior Notes for shares
of common stock.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, 20,713 shares
issuable upon vesting of the performance stock units (“PSUs”)
granted to certain employees were included in dilutive securities,
as the performance threshold for the vesting of these PSUs were met
as measured as of June 30, 2024. For the three and six months ended
June 30, 2023, the PSUs granted to certain employees were not
included in dilutive securities as the performance thresholds for
vesting of the PSUs were not met as measured as of June 30,
2023.
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
