•Fluctuations in the value of real estate income and investments;

•Risks of environmental liability;

•Risks associated with the relatively illiquid nature of our real estate investments;

•Risks associated with owning assets in foreign countries;

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Organization

Description of Business

EPR Properties (the Company) was formed on August 22, 1997 as a Maryland real estate investment trust (REIT), and an initial public offering of the Company's common shares of beneficial interest (common shares) was completed on November 18, 1997. Since that time, the Company has been a leading diversified experiential net lease REIT specializing in select enduring experiential properties. The Company's underwriting is centered on key industry and property cash flow criteria, as well as the credit metrics of the Company's tenants and customers. The Company's properties are located in the United States (U.S.) and Canada.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. In addition, operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. Amounts as of December 31, 2023 have been derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of that date and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 29, 2024.

The Company consolidates certain entities when it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary in a variable interest entity (VIE) in which it has a controlling financial interest in accordance with the consolidation guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). The equity method of accounting is applied to joint venture entities in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary as defined in the FASB ASC Topic on Consolidation (Topic 810) but can exercise influence over the entity with respect to its operations and major decisions.

The Company examines specific criteria and uses its judgment when determining if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The primary beneficiary generally is defined as the party with the controlling financial interest. Consideration of various factors include, but are not limited to, the Company's ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and its obligation to absorb losses from or right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company does not have any investments in consolidated VIEs.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs are amortized over the terms of the related debt obligations, as applicable. Deferred financing costs of $20.6 million and $25.1 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, are shown as a reduction of "Debt" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The deferred financing costs related to the unsecured revolving credit facility of $11.2 million and $4.1 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, are included in "Other assets" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Rental Revenue

The Company leases real estate to its tenants under leases classified as operating leases. The Company's leases generally provide for rent escalations throughout the lease terms. Rents that are fixed are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Base rent escalations that include a variable component are recognized upon the occurrence of the specified event as defined in the Company's lease agreements. Many of the Company's leasing

arrangements include options to extend the lease, which are not included in the minimum lease terms unless the option is reasonably certain to be exercised. Straight-line rental revenue is subject to an evaluation for collectibility, and the Company records a direct write-off against rental revenue if collectibility of these future rents is not probable. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023the Company recognized straight-line write-offs totaling $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $13.3 million and $7.7 million, respectively, of straight-line rental revenue, net of write-offs.

Most of the Company's lease contracts are triple-net leases, which require the tenants to make payments to third parties for lessor costs (such as property taxes and insurance) associated with the properties. In accordance with Topic 842, the Company does not include these lessee payments to third parties in rental revenue or property operating expenses. In certain situations, the Company pays these lessor costs directly to third parties and the tenants reimburse the Company. In accordance with Topic 842, these payments are presented on a gross basis in rental revenue and property operating expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $1.4 million for both periods, in tenant reimbursements related to the gross-up of these reimbursed expenses that are included in rental revenue.

Certain of the Company's leases, particularly at its entertainment districts, require the tenants to make payments to the Company for property-related expenses such as common area maintenance. In accordance with Topic 842, the Company has elected to combine these non-lease components with the lease components in rental revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the amounts due for non-lease components included in rental revenue totaled $13.7 million and $14.8 million, respectively.

In addition, most of the Company's tenants are subject to additional rents (above base rents) if gross revenues of the properties exceed certain thresholds defined in the lease agreements (percentage rents). Percentage rents are recognized at the time when specified triggering events occur as provided by the lease agreement. Rental revenue included percentage rents of $9.8 million and $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company regularly evaluates the collectibility of its receivables on a lease-by-lease basis. The evaluation primarily consists of reviewing past due account balances and considering such factors as the credit quality of the Company's tenants, historical trends of the tenant, current economic conditions and changes in customer payment terms. When the collectibility of lease receivables or future lease payments are no longer probable, the Company records a direct write-off of the receivable to rental revenue and recognizes future rental revenue on a cash basis.

Mortgage Notes and Other Notes Receivable

Mortgage notes and other notes receivable, including related accrued interest receivable, consist of loans originated by the Company and the related accrued and unpaid interest income as of the balance sheet date. Mortgage notes and other notes receivable are initially recorded at the amount advanced to the borrower less allowance for credit loss. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method over the estimated life of the note. Interest income includes both the stated interest and the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts (if any).

The Company made an accounting policy election to not measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivables related to its mortgage notes and notes receivable. Accordingly, if accrued interest receivable is deemed to be uncollectible, the Company will record any necessary write-offs as a reversal of interest income. There were no accrued interest write-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. As of September 30, 2024, the Company believes that all outstanding accrued interest is collectible.

In the event the Company has a past due mortgage note or note receivable that the Company determines is collateral-dependent, the Company measures expected credit losses based on the fair value of the collateral with the credit allowance being the difference between the outstanding principal balance of the notes and the estimated fair value. As of September 30, 2024, the Company does not have any mortgage notes or notes receivable with past due principal balances. See Note 6for further discussion of mortgage notes and notes receivable for which the Company elected to apply the collateral-dependent practical expedient.

Concentrations of Risk

Topgolf USA (Topgolf), American-Multi Cinema, Inc. (AMC) and Regal Cinemas (Regal), a subsidiary of Cineworld Group, represented a significant portion of the Company's total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.The following is a summary of the Company's total revenue derived from rental or interest payments from Topgolf, AMC and Regal (dollars in thousands):


Nine Months Ended September 30,
2024	2023
Total Revenue	% of Company's Total Revenue	Total Revenue	% of Company's Total Revenue
Topgolf	$	74,657	14.3	%	$	72,227	13.5	%
AMC	70,662	13.6	%	70,915	13.3	%
Regal	57,677	11.1	%	84,818	15.9	%

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU enhances annual income tax disclosures by requiring entities to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In addition, the ASU requires annual disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis, with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures.

3. Real Estate Investments

The following table summarizes the carrying amounts of real estate investments as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):


September 30, 2024	December 31, 2023
Buildings and improvements	$	4,697,894	$	4,609,050
Furniture, fixtures & equipment	119,112	115,596
Land	1,235,500	1,219,943
Leasehold interests	28,453	28,453
6,080,959	5,973,042
Accumulated depreciation	(1,546,509)	(1,435,683)
Total	$	4,534,450	$	4,537,359

Depreciation expense on real estate investments was $121.9 million and $119.8 millionfor the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

4. Impairment Charges

The Company reviews its properties for changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company reassessed the holding period of a theatre property the Company was previously operating through a third-party management agreement but closed in September 2024. The property is currently vacant as the Company prepares to sell it. The Company determined that the carrying value of the theatre did not exceed the sum of the undiscounted cash flows and estimated the fair value of the real estate investments of this property using an independent appraisal. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company reduced the carrying value of the real estate investments, net to $6.5 million and recognized an impairment charge of $11.8 million on real estate investments, which is the amount that the carrying value of the asset exceeded the estimated fair value.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company also recognized $12.1 million of impairment charges related to its equity investments in two unconsolidated real estate joint ventures that own two experiential lodging properties located in St. Pete Beach, Florida. See Note 9 for further details on these impairments.

5. Investments and Dispositions

The Company's investment spending during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 totaled $214.6 million, and included $52.0 million for the financing of a fitness & wellness property in Colorado, $33.4 million for the acquisition of an attraction property in New York and $19.9 million for the acquisition and financing of land for three build-to-suit eat & play developments in Illinois, Kansas and Oklahoma. Investment spending for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 also included experiential build-to-suit development and redevelopment projects.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company completed the sale of two cultural properties, six vacant theatre properties, one leased theatre property and one vacant early childhood education center for net proceeds totaling $65.1 million and recognized a net gain on sale totaling $16.0 million.

6. Investment in Mortgage Notes and Notes Receivable

The Company measures expected credit losses on its mortgage notes and notes receivable on an individual basis because its financial instruments do not have similar risk characteristics. The Company uses a forward-looking commercial real estate loss forecasting tool to estimate its current expected credit losses (CECL) for each of its mortgage notes and notes receivable on a loan-by-loan basis. As of September 30, 2024, the Company did not anticipate any prepayments. Therefore, the contractual terms of its mortgage notes and notes receivable were used for the calculation of the expected credit losses. The Company updates the model inputs at each reporting period to reflect, if applicable, any newly originated loans, changes to loan specific information on existing loans and current macroeconomic conditions. The CECL allowance is a valuation account that is deducted from the related mortgage note or note receivable. Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures.

Certain of the Company's mortgage notes and notes receivable include commitments to fund future incremental amounts to its borrowers. These future funding commitments are also subject to the CECL model. The CECL allowance related to future funding is recorded as a liability and is included in "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Investment in mortgage notes, including related accrued interest receivable, was $657.6 million and $569.8 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Investment in notes receivable, including related accrued interest receivable, was $3.4 million and $3.9 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and is included in "Other assets" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

At September 30, 2024, one of the Company's mortgage notes receivable and two of the Company's notes receivable are considered collateral-dependent and expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the underlying collateral

with the credit allowance being the difference between the outstanding principal balance of the notes and the estimated fair value at the reporting date. The Company assessed the fair value of the collateral as of September 30, 2024 on the mortgage note receivable and the notes receivable. The mortgage note receivable has a carrying amount at September 30, 2024 of approximately $10.4 million net of an allowance for credit loss totaling $0.4 million. The two notes receivable remain fully reserved with an allowance for credit loss totaling $6.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively, which represents the outstanding principal balances of the notes as of September 30, 2024. Income from these borrowers is recognized on a cash basis. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company received cash basis interest payments of $0.7 million for each period from the mortgage note receivable borrower and $0.7 million for each period from one of the note receivable borrowers. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company received principal payments totaling $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively, from one of the note receivable borrowers.

At September 30, 2024, the Company's investment in one of the notes receivable was a variable interest investment and the underlying entity is a VIE. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of this VIE because the Company does not individually have the power to direct the activities that are most significant to the entity and, accordingly, this investment is not consolidated. The Company's maximum exposure to loss associated with this VIE is limited to the Company's outstanding note receivable in the amount of $6.9 million, which is fully reserved in the allowance for credit losses at September 30, 2024.

The following summarizes the activity within the allowance for credit losses related to mortgage notes, unfunded commitments and notes receivable for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (in thousands):


Mortgage notes receivable	Unfunded commitments - mortgage notes receivable	Notes receivable	Unfunded commitments - notes receivable	Total
Allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2023	$	3,656	$	1,072	$	9,687	$	-	$	14,415
Provision (benefit) for credit losses, net	2,970	276	(875)	-	2,371
Charge-offs	-	-	-	-	-
Recoveries	-	-	-	-	-
Allowance for credit losses at September 30, 2024	$	6,626	$	1,348	$	8,812	$	-	$	16,786

7. Accounts Receivable

The following table summarizes the carrying amounts of accounts receivable as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):


September 30, 2024	December 31, 2023
Receivable from tenants	$	3,370	$	7,298
Receivable from non-tenants (1)	6,966	824
Straight-line rent receivable	69,390	55,533
Total	$	79,726	$	63,655

(1) Receivable from non-tenants includes a payment of $5.9 million made to the City of Kansas City, Missouri under protest related to an assessment of tax years ending December 31, 2018 through 2022. The City has denied the Company's necessary deduction for dividends paid for each of these years resulting in assessment of additional tax, penalties and interest. The Company filed a lawsuit and demanded a refund of the $5.9 million payment during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Company has entered into discussions with City representatives to resolve this matter. Although there can be no assurances, based on the discussions and the Company's position in the lawsuit, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the payment will be refunded.

As of September 30, 2024, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company continues to recognize revenue on a cash basis for AMC and two other tenants, one of which has deferred rent from this period that is not booked as a

receivable of approximately $11.5 million. The Company has collected all deferred receivables from accrual basis tenants that were deferred due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company collected $0.6 million and $35.7 million, respectively, in deferred rent and interest from cash basis customers and from customers for which the deferred payments were not previously recognized as revenue.

8. Capital Markets and Dividends

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company declared cash dividends totaling $0.855 and $2.545 per common share, respectively. Additionally, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company declared cash dividends of $0.359375 and $1.078125 per share, respectively, on each of the Company's 5.75% Series C cumulative convertible preferred shares and the Company's 5.75% Series G cumulative redeemable preferred shares, and cash dividends of $0.5625 and $1.6875 per share, respectively, on the Company's 9.00% Series E cumulative convertible preferred shares.

On July 3, 2024, the Company amended its Third Amended, Restated and Consolidated Credit Agreement, which governs its unsecured revolving credit facility, to incorporate the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (CORRA) as a replacement index rate benchmark with respect to loans denominated in Canadian Dollars (CAD) as the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (CDOR) has been phased out.

On August 22, 2024, the Company repaid its $136.6 million Series A unsecured private placement notes due 2024, using funds available under its $1.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility.

On September 19, 2024, the Company entered into the Fourth Amended, Restated and Consolidated Credit Agreement (the Amended Credit Agreement) providing for a new amended and restated senior unsecured revolving credit facility. The Amended Credit Agreement amended, restated and replaced the Company's prior senior unsecured revolving credit facility provided under the Third Amended, Restated and Consolidated Credit Agreement. The amendments to the prior facility, among other things: (i) extended the maturity date of the revolving credit facility; (ii) generally reduced the interest rate payable on outstanding loans; (iii) eliminated the tangible net worth covenant; (iv) modified the secured debt to total assets financial covenant to permit increased secured debt if the Company so elects; and (v) modified and simplified the capitalization rates used to value assets under the facility.

The Amended Credit Agreement provides for an initial maximum principal amount of $1.0 billion, which includes a $100.0 million letter-of-credit subfacility and a $300.0 million foreign currency revolving credit subfacility. The new credit facility contains an "accordion" feature under which the Company may increase the total maximum principal amount available by $1.0 billion, to a total of $2.0 billion, subject to lender consent. The new credit facility matures on October 2, 2028. The Company has two options to extend the maturity date of the new credit facility by an additional six months each (for a total of 12 months), subject to applicable fees and the absence of any default. The unsecured revolving credit facility bears interest at a floating rate of SOFR plus 1.15% (based on our unsecured debt ratings and with a SOFR floor of zero), which was 5.98% at September 30, 2024. Additionally, the facility fee on the revolving credit facility is 0.25%.

In connection with entering into the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company incurred $9.0 million in fees that were capitalized in deferred financing costs and amortized as part of the effective yield. These fees are included in "Other assets" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company also recorded a non-cash write-off of deferred financing costs (net of accumulated amortization), totaling $0.3 million to "Costs associated with loan refinancing or payoff" in connection with entering into the Amended Credit Agreement.

9. Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures

The following table summarizes the Company's investments in unconsolidated joint ventures as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):


Investment as of	(Loss) Income for the Nine Months Ended
Property Type	Location	Ownership Interest	September 30, 2024	December 31, 2023	September 30, 2024	September 30, 2023

Theatres	China	various	-	-	-	-
$	32,426	$	49,754	$	(5,384)	$	(2,067)

(1) The Company has equity investments in two unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, one that holds the investment in the real estate of the experiential lodging properties and the other that holds the lodging operations, which are facilitated by a management agreement. The joint venture that holds the real property has a secured non-recourse mortgage loan of $105.0 million at September 30, 2024. The maturity date of this mortgage loan is May 18, 2025. The mortgage loan bears interest at SOFR plus 3.65%, with monthly interest payments required. The joint venture has an interest rate cap agreement to limit the variable portion of the interest rate (SOFR) on this note to 3.5% from June 1, 2024 to December 1, 2024.

On September 26, 2024, Hurricane Helene made landfall on St. Pete Beach as a Category 3 storm and damaged the joint ventures' experiential lodging properties. On October 9, 2024, further damage was caused by Hurricane Milton. The properties will remain closed as the joint ventures continue to assess and repair damage and the Company does not anticipate that the properties will re-open until well into 2025. The Company plans to work in good faith with its joint venture partners, the non-recourse debt provider and the insurance companies to identify a path forward which the Company expects will result in the eventual removal of both experiential properties from the Company's portfolio. Accordingly, the Company determined that its investment in these joint ventures had no fair value and was not recoverable, and during the third quarter of 2024, recognized $12.1 million in other-than-temporary impairment charges on joint ventures related to these equity investments.

(2) The Company hasequity investments in two unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, one that holds the investment in the real estate of the experiential lodging property and the other that holds the lodging operations, which are facilitated by a management agreement. The joint venture that holds the real property has a secured non-recourse mortgage loan of $23.7 million at September 30, 2024. The maturity date of this mortgage loan is September 15, 2031. The loan bears interest at an annual fixed rate of 4.00% with monthly interest payments required.

(3) The Company hasequity investments in two unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, one that holds the investment in the real estate of the experiential lodging property and the other that holds the lodging operations, which are facilitated by a management agreement. The joint venture that holds the real estate property has a secured non-recourse senior mortgage loan of $38.5 millionat September 30, 2024. The maturity date of this mortgage loan is March 8, 2034. The mortgage loan bears interest at an annual fixed rate of 3.85% through April 7, 2025 and increases to 4.25% from April 8, 2025 through maturity. Monthly interest payments are required. Additionally, the Company provided a subordinated loan to the joint venture for $11.3 million with a maturity date of March 8, 2034. The mortgage loan bears interest at an annual fixed rate of 7.25% through the sixth anniversary and increases to SOFR plus 7.20% with a cap of 8.00%, through maturity.

(4) The Company has a 92% equity investment in two separate unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, that through subsequent joint ventures (described below), hold the investments in the real estate of the experiential lodging property and the lodging operations, which are facilitated by a management agreement. The Company's investments in these two unconsolidated real estate joint ventures were considered to be variable interest investments and the Company's investment in the joint venture that holds the lodging operations is a VIE. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE because the Company does not individually have the power to direct the activities that are most important to the joint venture and, accordingly, this investment is not consolidated. Other than the guarantee described below, the Company's maximum exposure to loss is limited to its initial investment, which was nominal.

The Company's investments in the two unconsolidated real estate joint ventures (representing 92% of each joint venture's equity) have a 67% equity interest in two separate consolidated joint ventures, one that holds the investments in the real estate of the experiential lodging property and the other that holds the lodging operations, which are facilitated by a management agreement. The consolidated joint venture that holds the real estate property has a secured non-recourse senior mortgage loan commitment of up to $22.5 million at September 30, 2024 in order to fund renovations, with $19.0 million outstanding at September 30, 2024. The maturity date of this mortgage loan is November 1, 2029. The mortgage loan bears interest at an annual fixed rate of 6.38% with monthly interest payments required. The Company has guaranteed $10.0 million in principal on the secured mortgage loan, and, upon completion of construction and achieving a specified debt service coverage ratio, the principal guarantee will be reduced to $5.0 million. The guarantee will be removed completely upon achievement of specified debt service coverage for three consecutive calculation periods. Additionally, the Company has guaranteed the completion of the renovations in the amount of approximately $13.9 million, with $2.1 million remaining to fund at September 30, 2024.

10. Derivative Instruments

All derivatives are recognized at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets within the line items "Other assets" and "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" as applicable. The Company has elected not to offset its derivative position for purposes of balance sheet presentation and disclosure. The Company had derivative assets of $0.5 million and $1.3 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company had derivative liabilities of $1.9 million and $4.9 millionat September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company has not posted or received collateral with its derivative counterparties as of September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. See Note 11 for disclosures relating to the fair value of the derivative instruments.

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risk arising from both its business operations and economic conditions, including the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on foreign currency transactions and interest rates on its SOFR-based borrowings. The Company manages this risk by following established risk management policies and procedures including the use of derivatives. The Company's objective in using derivatives is to add stability to reported earnings and to manage its exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate movements or other identified risks. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps and foreign currency forwards.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company uses interest rate swaps as its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt or payment of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty, which results in the Company recording net interest expense that is fixed over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

At September 30, 2024, the Company had one interest rate swap agreement designated as a cash flow hedge of interest rate risk. The interest rate swap agreement outstanding as of September 30, 2024 is summarized below:


Fixed rate	Notional Amount (in millions)	Index	Maturity
2.5325%	$	25.0	USD SOFR	September 30, 2026

The change in the fair value of interest rate derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings within the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged transaction.

Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company's variable-rate debt. As of September 30, 2024, the Company estimates that during the twelve months ending September 30, 2025, $17 thousand of losses will be reclassified from AOCIto interest expense.

Cash Flow Hedges of Foreign Exchange Risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk against its functional currency, USD, on CAD denominated cash flow from its six Canadian properties. The Company uses cross-currency swaps to mitigate its exposure to fluctuations in the USD-CAD exchange rate on cash inflows associated with these properties, which should hedge a significant portion of the Company's expected CAD denominated cash flows. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had the following cross-currency swaps:


Fixed rate	Notional Amount (in millions, CAD)	Annual Cash Flow (in millions, CAD)	Maturity
$1.26 CAD per USD	$	150.0	$	10.8	October 1, 2024
$1.28 CAD per USD	200.0	4.5	October 1, 2024
$1.30 CAD per USD	90.0	8.1	December 1, 2024
$	440.0	$	23.4

On September 17, 2024, the Company entered into six USD-CAD cross-currency swaps that will be effective October 1, 2024 with a total fixed original notional value of $170.0 million CAD and $125.0 million USD. The net effect of these swaps is to lock in an exchange rate of $1.35 CAD per USD on approximately $15.3 million annual CAD denominated cash flows through December 2026.

Additionally, on September 17, 2024, the Company entered into two USD-CAD cross-currency swaps that will be effective December 1, 2024 with a total fixed original notional value of $90.0 million CAD and $66.2 million USD. The net effect of these swaps is to lock in an exchange rate of $1.35 CAD per USD on approximately $8.1 million annual CAD denominated cash flows through December 2026.

The change in the fair value of foreign currency derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of foreign exchange risk is recorded in AOCI and reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings within the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged transaction. As of September 30, 2024, the Company estimates that during the twelve months ending September 30, 2025, $83 thousand of losses will be reclassified from AOCI to other income.

Net Investment Hedges

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in the USD-CAD exchange rate on its net investments in Canada. As such, the Company uses currency forward agreements to manage its exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates on certain of its foreign net investments. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had the following foreign currency forwards designated as net investment hedges:


Fixed rate	Notional Amount (in millions, CAD)	Maturity
$1.35 CAD per USD	$	200.0	October 1, 2025
$1.35 CAD per USD	90.0	December 1, 2025
Total	$	290.0

For qualifying foreign currency derivatives designated as net investment hedges, the change in the fair value of the derivatives is reported in AOCI as part of the cumulative translation adjustment. Amounts are reclassified out of AOCI into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated. Gains and losses on the derivative representing hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized over the life of the hedge on a systematic and rational basis, as documented at hedge inception in accordance with the Company's accounting policy election. The earnings recognition of excluded components are presented in other income.

Below is a summary of the effect of derivative instruments on the consolidated statements of changes in equity and income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Company has an agreement with its interest rate derivative counterparty that contains a provision where if the Company defaults on any of its obligations for borrowed money or credit in an amount exceeding $50.0 million and such default is not waived or cured within a specified period of time, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its interest rate derivative agreements.

As of September 30, 2024, the fair value of the Company's derivatives in a liability position related to these agreements was $1.9 million. If the Company breached any of the contractual provisions of these derivative contracts, it would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $1.8 million, after considering the right of offset.As of September 30, 2024, the Company had not posted any collateral related to these agreements and was not in breach of any provisions in these agreements.

11. Fair Value Disclosures

The Company has certain financial instruments that are required to be measured under the FASB's Fair Value Measurement guidance. The Company currently does not have any non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives also use Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. As of September 30, 2024, the Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives and therefore, classified its derivatives as Level 2 within the fair value reporting hierarchy.

The table below presents the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements are classified and by derivative type.

(1) As further discussed in Note 4, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $11.8 million related to real estate investments, net, on one property. Management estimated the fair value of this investment taking into account various factors, including an independent appraisal, shortened hold period and market conditions. The significant inputs and assumptions used in the real estate appraisal included land valued at approximately $475 thousand per acre less demolition costs of approximately $13.91 per square foot of building. These measurements were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because many of the assumptions were not observable.

(2) As further discussed in Note 9, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded impairment charges of $12.1 million related to its investment in two unconsolidated real estate joint ventures that own two experiential lodging properties located in St. Pete Beach, Florida. Management estimated the fair value of these investments, taking into account various factors including implied asset value changes based on discounted cash flow projections and current market conditions. The Company determined, based on the inputs, that its valuation of investment in joint ventures was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as many of the assumptions were not observable.

(3) During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $67.4 million related to real estate investments, net, on 12 properties. Management estimated the fair values of these investments taking into account various factors including independent appraisals, shortened hold periods and market conditions. The significant inputs and assumptions used in the real estate appraisals included market rents ranging from $4.50 per square foot to $20.00 per square foot, discount rates ranging from 8.50% to 11.50% and terminal capitalization rates ranging from 7.75% to 10.25%. These measurements were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because many of the assumptions were not observable.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Mortgage notes receivable and related accrued interest receivable, net:

The fair value of the Company's mortgage notes and related accrued interest receivable, net, is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument using current market rates. At September 30, 2024, the Company had a carrying value of $657.6 million in fixed-rate mortgage notes receivable outstanding, including related accrued interest and allowance for credit losses, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 8.78%. The fixed-rate mortgage notes bear interest at rates of 6.50% to 12.50%. Discounting the future cash flows for fixed-rate mortgage notes receivable using rates of 6.50% to 10.90%, management estimates the fair value of the fixed-rate mortgage notes receivable to be approximately $693.9 million with an estimated weighted average market rate of 8.01% at September 30, 2024.

At December 31, 2023, the Company had a carrying value of $569.8 million in fixed-rate mortgage notes receivable outstanding, including related accrued interest and allowance for credit losses, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 8.82%. The fixed-rate mortgage notes bear interest at rates of 6.99% to 12.32%. Discounting the future cash flows for fixed-rate mortgage notes receivable using rates of 7.15% to 10.25%, management estimates the fair value of the fixed-rate mortgage notes receivable to be $611.2 million with an estimated weighted average market rate of 7.84% at December 31, 2023.

Derivative instruments:

Derivative instruments are carried at their fair value.

Debt instruments:

The fair value of the Company's debt is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument using current market rates. At September 30, 2024, the Company had a carrying value of $194.0 million in variable-rate debt outstanding with an average interest rate of approximately 5.85%. The carrying value of the variable-rate debt outstanding approximated the fair value at September 30, 2024.

At December 31, 2023, the Company had a carrying value of $25.0 million in variable-rate debt outstanding with an interest rate of approximately 5.48%. The carrying value of the variable-rate debt outstanding approximated the fair value at December 31, 2023.

At both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the $25.0 million of variable-rate debt outstanding, discussed above, had been effectively converted to a fixed rate by an interest rate swap agreement. See Note 10 for additional information related to the Company's interest rate swap agreement.

At September 30, 2024, the Company had a carrying value of $2.68 billion in fixed-rate long-term debt outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 4.34%. Discounting the future cash flows for fixed-rate debt using September 30, 2024 market rates of 5.03% to 5.52%, management estimates the fair value of the fixed rate debt to be approximately $2.58 billion with an estimated weighted average market rate of 5.21% at September 30, 2024.

At December 31, 2023, the Company had a carrying value of $2.82 billion in fixed-rate long-term debt outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 4.34%. Discounting the future cash flows for fixed-rate debt using December 31, 2023 market rates of 6.46% to 6.70%, management estimates the fair value of the fixed rate debt to be approximately $2.58 billion with an estimated weighted average market rate of 6.60% at December 31, 2023.

The effect of the potential common shares from the conversion of the Company's convertible preferred shares and from the exercise of share options are included in diluted earnings per share if the effect is dilutive. Potential common shares from the performance shares are included in diluted earnings per share upon the satisfaction of certain performance and market conditions. These conditions are evaluated at each reporting period and, if the conditions have been satisfied during the reporting period, the number of contingently issuable shares are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

The following shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they are anti-dilutive, or in the case of contingently issuable performance shares, are not probable of issuance:

•The additional 2.3 million common shares that would result from the conversion of the Company's 5.75% Series C cumulative convertible preferred shares and the corresponding add-back of the preferred dividends declared on those shares for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

•The additional 1.7 million common shares that would result from the conversion of the Company's 9.0% Series E cumulative convertible preferred shares and the corresponding add-back of the preferred dividends declared on those shares for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

•Outstanding options to purchase 57 thousand and 83 thousand common shares at per share prices ranging from $44.44 to $76.63 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Nonvested Shares

A summary of the Company's nonvested share activity and related information is as follows:


Number of shares	Weighted avg. grant date fair value	Weighted avg. life remaining
Outstanding at December 31, 2023	609,228	$	44.44
Granted	290,271	41.96
Vested	(284,885)	45.47
Outstanding at September 30, 2024	614,614	$	42.79	1.11

The holders of nonvested shares have voting rights and receive dividends from the date of grant. The fair value of the nonvested shares that vested was $13.7 million and $8.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Expense recognized related to nonvested shares and included in "General and administrative expense" in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive incomewas $5.2 million and $5.7 millionfor the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Expense related to nonvested shares and included in retirement and severance expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income was $0.7 millionand $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. At September 30, 2024, unamortized share-based compensation expense related to nonvested shareswas $11.3 million.

Nonvested Performance Shares

A summary of the Company's nonvested performance share activity and related information is as follows:


Target Number of Performance Shares	Weighted avg. grant date fair value (1)
Outstanding at December 31, 2023	312,641	$	70.04
Granted	116,266	44.76
Vested (2)	(102,438)	75.14
Outstanding at September 30, 2024	326,469	$	59.44

(1) The grant date fair value was determined utilizing (i) a Monte Carlo simulation model to generate an estimate of the Company's future stock price over the three-year performance period for performance shares based on the Company's Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance further described below and (ii) the Company's grant date fair value for performance shares based on the Company's estimated Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) in AFFO per share over the three-year performance period.

(2) The achievement of the performance conditions for the performance shares granted during the year ended December 31, 2021 resulted in a performance payout percentage of 250% for both the Company's TSR relative to the TSRs of the Company's peer group companies and the Company's TSR relative to the TSRs of companies in the MSCI US REIT Index and a payout percentage of 200% for the Company's CAGR in AFFO per share over the three-year performance period. The achievement of the performance conditions and the above payout percentages resulted in the issuance of 243,290 common shares and 49,574 common shares from dividend equivalents. The fair value of the performance shares and dividend equivalents that vested was $12.6 million.

The number of common shares issuable upon settlement of the performance shares granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022 will be based upon the Company's achievement level relative to performance measures at December 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The achievement level for the performance shares granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is 52.2% based upon the Company's TSR relative to the TSRs of the Company's peer group companies, 26.1% based upon the Company's TSR relative to the TSRs of companies in the MSCI US REIT Index and 21.7% based upon the Company's estimated CAGR in AFFO per share over the three-year performance period. The achievement level for the performance shares granted during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 is 50% based upon the Company's Total Shareholder Return (TSR) relative to the TSRs of the Company's peer group companies, 25% based upon the Company's TSR relative to the TSRs of companies in the MSCI US REIT Index and 25% based upon the Company's Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) in AFFO per share over the three-year performance period. The Company's achievement level relative to the performance measures is assigned a specific payout percentage, which is multiplied by a target number of performance shares.

The performance shares based on relative TSR performance have market conditions and are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model on the grant date, which resulted in a grant date fair value of approximately $4.1 million and $5.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The estimated fair value is amortized to expense over the three-year performance periods, which end on December 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024 for performance shares granted in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The following assumptions were used in the Monte Carlo simulation for computing the grant date fair value of the performance shares with a market condition for the nine months ended September 30, 2024: risk-free interest rate of 4.5%, volatility factors in the expected market price of the Company's common shares of 30% and an expected life of approximately three years.

The performance shares based on growth in AFFO per share have a performance condition. The probability of achieving the performance condition is assessed at each reporting period. If it is deemed probable that the performance condition will be met, compensation cost will be recognized based on the closing price per share of the Company's common stock on the date of the grant multiplied by the number of awards expected to be earned. If it is deemed that it is not probable that the performance condition will be met, the Company will discontinue the recognition of compensation cost and any compensation cost previously recorded will be reversed. At September 30, 2024, achievement of the performance condition was deemed probable for the performance shares granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 with an expected payout percentage of 200%, which resulted in a grant

date fair value of approximately $2.3 million. Achievement of the performance condition for the performance shares granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was deemed not probable at September 30, 2024.

Expense recognized related to performance shares and included in "General and administrative expense" in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income was $4.0 million and $5.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Expense related to performance shares and included in retirement and severance expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income was $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. At September 30, 2024, unamortized share-based compensation expense related to nonvested performance shares was $5.7 million.

The performance shares accrue dividend equivalents that are paid only if common shares are issued upon settlement of the performance shares. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company accrued dividend equivalents expected to be paid on earned awards of $1.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

Restricted Share Units

A summary of the Company's restricted share unit activity and related information is as follows:


Number of shares	Weighted avg. grant date fair value	Weighted avg. life remaining
Outstanding at December 31, 2023	42,048	$	41.67
Granted	45,410	40.69
Vested	(42,048)	41.67
Outstanding at September 30, 2024	45,410	$	40.69	0.67

The holders of restricted share units receive dividend equivalents from the date of grant. Total expense recognized related to shares issued to non-employee Trustees and included in "General andadministrative expense" in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income was $1.3 million and $1.5 million forthe nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. At September 30, 2024, unamortized share-based compensation expense related to restricted share units was $1.3 million.

15. Operating Leases

The Company's real estate investments are leased under operating leases. In addition to its lessor arrangements on its real estate investments, as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company was lessee in 51 operating ground leases. The Company's tenants, who are generally sub-tenants under these ground leases, are responsible for paying the rent under these ground leases. As of September 30, 2024, rental revenue from one of the Company's tenants, who are also sub-tenants under the ground leases, is being recognized on a cash basis. In most cases, the ground lease sub-tenants have continued to pay the rent under these ground leases, however, two of these properties do not currently have sub-tenants. In the event the tenant fails to pay the ground lease rent orif the property does not have a sub-tenant, the Company is primarily responsible for the payment, assuming the Company does not sell or re-tenant the property. The Company is also the lessee in an operating lease of its executive office.

The following table summarizes rental revenue, including sublease arrangements and lease costs, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

17. Other Commitments and Contingencies

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had 13 development projects with commitments to fund an aggregate of approximately $144.1 million. The Company advances development costs in periodic draws. If the Company determines that construction is not being completed in accordance with the terms of the development agreement, it can discontinue funding construction draws. The Company has agreed to lease the properties to the operators at pre-determined rates upon completion of construction.

The Company has certain commitments related to its mortgage notes investments that it may be required to fund in the future. The Company is generally obligated to fund these commitments at the request of the borrower or upon the occurrence of events outside of its direct control. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had five mortgage notes with commitments totaling approximately $73.1 million. If commitments are funded in the future, interest will be charged at rates consistent with the existing investments.

In connection with construction of the Company's development projects and related infrastructure, certain public agencies require posting of surety bonds to guarantee that the Company's obligations will be satisfied. These bonds expire upon the completion of the improvements or infrastructure. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had three surety bonds outstanding totaling $0.6 million.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of EPR Properties (the "Company", "EPR", "we" or "us"). The forward-looking statements included in this discussion and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q involve risks and uncertainties, including anticipated financial performance, anticipated liquidity and capital resources, business prospects, industry trends, shareholder returns, performance of leases by tenants, performance on loans to customers and other matters, which reflect management's best judgment based on factors currently known. See "Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements," which is incorporated herein by reference. Actual results and experience could differ materially from the anticipated results and other expectations expressed in our forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to those discussed in Item 1A - "Risk Factors" in our 2023 Annual Report.

Overview

Business

Our principal business objective is to enhance shareholder value by achieving predictable and increasing Funds From Operations As Adjusted ("FFOAA") and dividends per share. Our strategy is to focus on long-term investments in the Experiential sector that benefit from our depth of knowledge and relationships, and which we believe offer sustained performance throughout most economic cycles.

Our investment portfolio includes ownership of and long-term mortgages on Experiential and Education properties. Substantially all of our owned single-tenant properties are leased pursuant to long-term, triple-net leases, under which the tenants typically pay all operating expenses of the property. Tenants at our owned multi-tenant properties are typically required to pay common area maintenance charges to reimburse us for their pro-rata portion of these costs. We also own certain experiential lodging assets structured using traditional REIT lodging structures.

It has been our strategy to structure leases and financings to ensure a positive spread between our cost of capital and the rentals or interest paid by our tenants. We have primarily acquired or developed new properties that are pre-leased to a single tenant or multi-tenant properties with a high occupancy rate. We have also entered into certain joint ventures and provided mortgage note financing. We intend to continue entering into some or all of these types of arrangements in the foreseeable future.

Historically, our primary challenges had been locating suitable properties, negotiating favorable lease or financing terms (on new or existing properties), and managing our portfolio as we continued to grow. We believe our management's knowledge and industry relationships have facilitated opportunities for us to acquire, finance and lease properties. More recently, and as further discussed below, the challenging economic environment has increased our cost of capital, which has negatively impacted our ability to make investments in the near-term. Our business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those described in Item 1A - "Risk Factors" in our 2023 Annual Report.

As of September 30, 2024, our total assets were approximately $5.7 billion (after accumulated depreciation of approximately $1.5 billion) with properties located in 44 states, Ontario and Quebec, Canada. Our total investments (a non-GAAP financial measure) were approximately $6.9 billion at September 30, 2024. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for the reconciliation of "Total assets" in the consolidated balance sheet to total investments at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. We group our investments into two reportable segments, Experiential and Education. As of September 30, 2024, our Experiential investments comprised $6.4 billion, or 93%, and our Education investments comprised $0.5 billion, or 7%, of our total investments.

As of September 30, 2024, our Experiential portfolio (excluding property under development and undeveloped land inventory) consisted of the following property types (owned or financed):

•159 theatre properties;

•58 eat & play properties (including seven theatres located in entertainment districts);

•24 attraction properties;

•11 ski properties;

•seven experiential lodging properties;

•22 fitness & wellness properties;

•one gaming property; and

•one cultural property.

As of September 30, 2024, our owned Experiential real estate portfolio consisted of approximately 19.5 million square feet, which includes 0.4 million square feet of properties we intend to sell. The Experiential portfolio, excluding the properties we intend to sell, was 99% leased and included $76.9 million in property under development and $20.2 million in undeveloped land inventory.

As of September 30, 2024, our Education portfolio consisted of the following property types (owned or financed):

•60 early childhood education center properties; and

•nine private school properties.

As of September 30, 2024, our owned Education real estate portfolio consisted of approximately 1.3 million square feet, which includes 39 thousand square feet of properties we intend to sell. The Education portfolio, excluding the properties we intend to sell, was 100% leased.

The combined owned portfolio consisted of 20.8 million square feet and was 99% leased excluding the 0.4 million square feet of properties we intend to sell.

Challenging Economic Environment

REITs are generally experiencing heightened risks and uncertainties resulting from current challenging economic conditions, including significant volatility and negative pressure in financial and capital markets, higher cost of capital, lasting impacts of high inflation and other risks and uncertainties associated with the current economic environment. Although we intend to continue making future investments, we expect our levels of investment spending to be reduced in the near-term due to elevated costs of capital, and near-term investments will be funded primarily from cash on hand, excess cash flow, disposition proceeds and borrowing availability under our unsecured revolving credit facility, subject to maintaining our leverage levels consistent with past practice. As a result, we

intend to continue to be more selective in making future investments and acquisitions until such time as economic conditions improve and our cost of capital improves.

As of September 30, 2024, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to recognize revenue on a cash basis for AMC and two other tenants, one of which has deferred rent from this period that is not booked as a receivable of approximately $11.5 million. We collected all deferred receivables from accrual basis tenants that were deferred due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we collected $0.6 million and $35.7 million, respectively, in deferred rent and interest from cash basis customers and from customers for which the deferred payments were not previously recognized as revenue.

Operating Results

Our total revenue, net income available to common shareholders per diluted share and Funds From Operations As Adjusted ("FFOAA") per diluted share (a non-GAAP financial measure) are detailed below for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in millions, except per share information):


Three Months Ended September 30,	Nine Months Ended September 30,
2024	2023	Change	2024	2023	Change
Total revenue	$	180.5	$	189.4	(5)	%	$	520.8	$	533.7	(2)	%
Net income available to common shareholders per diluted share	$	0.53	$	0.66	(20)	%	$	1.80	$	1.45	24	%
FFOAA per diluted share	$	1.30	$	1.47	(12)	%	$	3.64	$	4.00	(9)	%

The major factors impacting our results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were as follows:

•The decrease in rental revenue due to a comprehensive restructuring agreement with Regal and higher deferred rental payments from cash basis tenants received in 2023;

•The effect of property acquisitions and dispositions that occurred in 2024 and 2023;

•The increase in other income and other expense related to additional operating properties;

•The decrease in impairment charges and general and administrative expense;

•The increase in equity in loss from joint ventures and the increase in impairment charges on joint ventures;

•The recognition of provision for credit losses, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 versus the recognition of benefit for credit losses, net for nine months ended September 30, 2023; and

•The recognition of loss on sale of real estate versus gain in sale of real estate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 versus the three months ended September 30, 2023 and the recognition of higher gain on sale of real estate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 versus the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

For further detail on items impacting our operating results, see section below titled "Results of Operations." FFOAA is a non-GAAP financial measure. For the definitions and further details on the calculations of FFOAA and certain other non-GAAP financial measures, see the section below titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes. In preparing these financial statements, management has made its best estimates and assumptions that affect the reported assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate, accounting for real estate acquisitions, assessing the collectibility of receivables and the credit loss related to mortgage and other notes receivable. Application of these assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ

from these estimates. A summary of critical accounting policies and estimates is included in our 2023 Annual Report. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, there were no changes to critical accounting policies.

The above amounts include $2.3 million and $2.5 million in capitalized interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $114 thousand and $103 thousand in capitalized other general and administrative direct project costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Excluded from the table above is approximately $5.4 million and $7.1 million of maintenance capital expenditures and other spending for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Dispositions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we completed the sales of two cultural properties, six vacant theatre properties, one leased theatre property and one vacant early childhood education center for net proceeds totaling $65.1 million. In connection with these sales, we recognized a net gain on sale totaling $16.0 million.

Impairment Charges

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we reassessed the holding period of one of our theatre properties that is operated through a third-party management agreement. We determined that the carrying value of the theatre property did not exceed the sum of the undiscounted cash flows and estimated the fair value of the real estate investments of this property using an independent appraisal. Accordingly, we recognized impairment charges totaling $11.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

During and subsequent to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, two experiential lodging properties located in St. Pete Beach, Florida that we hold as equity investments through joint ventures, were significantly damaged by two weather events. On September 26, 2024, Hurricane Helene made landfall on St. Pete Beach as a Category 3 storm and damaged the joint ventures' experiential lodging properties. On October 9, 2024, further damage was caused by Hurricane Milton. The properties will remain closed as the joint ventures continue to assess and repair damage and we do not anticipate that the properties will re-open until well into 2025. We plan to work in good faith with our joint venture partners, the non-recourse debt provider and the insurance companies to identify a path forward which we expect will result in the eventual removal of both experiential properties from our portfolio. Accordingly, we determined that our investment in these joint ventures had no fair value and was not recoverable, and during the third quarter of 2024, recognized $12.1 million in other-than-temporary impairment charges on joint ventures related to these equity investments.

Retirement and Severance Expense

On March 1, 2024, our Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, Craig Evans, retired. Details of Mr. Evans' retirement are included in the previously disclosed Retirement and Release Agreement entered into between us and Mr. Evans. The role of General Counsel and Secretary was assumed by Paul Turvey upon Mr. Evans' retirement. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded retirement and severance expense related to Mr. Evans' retirement, as well as the departure of another employee, totaling $1.8 million, which included cash payments totaling $0.2 million and accelerated vesting of nonvested shares totaling $1.6 million.

Capital Markets Activities

On August 22, 2024, we repaid our $136.6 million Series A unsecured private placement notes due 2024, using funds available on our $1.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we entered into a Fourth Amended, Restated and Consolidated Credit Agreement (the "Amended Credit Agreement"). See discussion below in Liquidity and Capital Resources and Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

(1) For the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, the decrease in minimum rent resulted from adecrease of $2.7 million related to the comprehensive restructuring agreement with Regal entered into on June 27, 2023, a $16.9 million decrease in deferred rental repayments from cash basis tenants, a $1.2 million decrease from property dispositions and a $0.9 million decrease from vacant properties. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in rental revenue of $1.8 million related to property acquisitions and developments completed in 2024 and 2023 and an increase in rental revenue on existing properties of $1.6 million.

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, there were no significant lease renewals on existing properties.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the decrease in minimum rent resulted from a decrease of$11.5 million related to the comprehensive restructuring agreement with Regal entered into on June 27, 2023, a $32.7 million decrease in deferred rental repayments from cash basis tenants, a $4.6 million decrease from property dispositions and a $1.6 million decrease from vacant properties. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in rental revenue of $5.9 million related to property acquisitions and developments completed in 2024 and 2023 and an increase in rental revenue on existing properties of $4.6 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we renewed ten lease agreements on approximately 295 thousand square feet and experienced a decrease of approximately 0.5% in rental rates and paid no leasing commissions with respect to these lease renewals.

(2) The increase in percentage rent (amounts above base rent) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was due primarily to higher percentage rent recognized from our theatre tenants, one cultural property tenant, one attraction property tenant and our gaming tenant.

(3) The increase in straight-line rent for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was due to property acquisitions and developments completed in 2024 and 2023 as well as straight-line rent receivable for Regal recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 in connection with reestablishing accrual basis accounting for Regal at August 1, 2023.

(4) The increase in other income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 related primarily to an increase in operating income from the addition of five operating theatre properties in the third quarter of 2023 that were previously leased by Regal. One of these properties was closed on September 20, 2024 and is currently vacant as we prepare to sell it.

(5) The increase in mortgage and other financing income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 related to interest income on new mortgage notes funded in 2024 and 2023 and from additional investments on existing mortgage note receivables.

Preferred dividend requirements	6,032	6,032	-	18,104	18,105	(1)

(1) The increase in other expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 related primarily to the addition of operating expense from five theatre properties that were previously leased by Regal. One of these properties was closed on September 20, 2024 and is currently vacant as we prepare to sell it.

(2) The decrease in general and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 related primarily to a decrease in payroll and benefit costs. The decrease in general and administrative expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 related to a decrease in payroll and benefit costs, a decrease in franchise taxes due to a state legislative change that went into effect during the second quarter of 2024 as well as a decrease in professional fees, including those related to the comprehensive restructuring agreement with Regal in 2023.

(3) Impairment charges recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 related to one theatre property that was operated through a third-party management agreement but, as disclosed above, was closed on September 20, 2024 and is currently vacant as we prepare to sell it. Impairment charges recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2023, related to two theatre properties that were part of a workout with a smaller theatre tenant and impairment charges recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 related to these two theatre properties and eight properties surrendered by Regal not included in the new master lease.

(4) The loss on sale of real estate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 related to the sale of two theatre properties and one vacant early childhood education center. The net gain on sale of real estate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 related to the sales of two vacant theatre properties and two early childhood education centers.

The gain on sale of real estate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 related to the sale of two cultural properties, six vacant theatre properties, one leased theatre property and one vacant early childhood education center. The net gain on sale of real estate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 related to the sale of two vacant theatre properties, one vacant eat & play property, three vacant early childhood education centers and a land parcel.

(5) The increase in interest expense, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 resulted primarily from an increase in average borrowings and an increase in our weighted average interest rate on outstanding debt due to borrowings on our unsecured revolving credit facility. This increase was also due to a decrease in interest income from short-term investments related to cash on hand.

(6) The increase in equity in loss from joint ventures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily related to higher expenses, including insurance, depreciation and interest, at our joint ventures during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 as well as the impact from Hurricane Helene that damaged two hotels in St. Pete Beach, Florida as discussed above.

(7) The increase in impairment charges on joint ventures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 related to other-than-temporary impairments of our equity investments in two joint ventures holding two experiential lodging properties located in St. Pete Beach, Florida due to hurricane damage described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $35.3 million at September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, we had no uninsured deposits. In addition, we had restricted cash of $3.0 million at September 30, 2024, which related primarily to escrow deposits required for property management and debt agreements or held for potential acquisitions and redevelopments.

Mortgage Debt, Senior Notes and Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

At September 30, 2024, we had total debt outstanding of $2.9 billion, of which 99% was unsecured.

At September 30, 2024, we had outstanding $2.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes (excluding the private placement notes discussed below) ranging in interest rates from 3.60% to 4.95%. The notes contain various covenants, including: (i) a limitation on incurrence of any debt that would cause the ratio of our debt to adjusted total assets to exceed 60%; (ii) a limitation on incurrence of any secured debt that would cause the ratio of secured debt to adjusted total assets to exceed 40%; (iii) a limitation on incurrence of any debt that would cause our debt service coverage ratio to be less than 1.5 times; and (iv) the maintenance at all times of our total unencumbered assets such that they are not less than 150% of our outstanding unsecured debt. Interest payments on our unsecured senior notes are due semiannually.

At September 30, 2024, we had $169.0 millionoutstanding balance under our $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility. On July 3, 2024, we amended our Third Amended, Restated and Consolidated Credit Agreement, which governs our unsecured revolving credit facility, to incorporate the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (CORRA) as a replacement index rate benchmark with respect to loans denominated in Canadian Dollars (CAD) as the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (CDOR) has been phased out.

On September 19, 2024, we entered into the Amended Credit Agreement providing for a new amended and restated senior unsecured revolving credit facility. The Amended Credit Agreement amended, restated and replaced our prior senior unsecured revolving credit facility provided under the Third Amended, Restated and Consolidated Credit Agreement. The amendments to the prior facility, among other things: (i) extended the maturity date of the revolving credit facility; (ii) generally reduced the interest rate payable on outstanding loans; (iii) eliminated the tangible net worth covenant; (iv) modified the secured debt to total assets financial covenant to permit increased secured debt if we so elect; and (v) modified and simplified the capitalization rates used to value assets under the facility.

The Amended Credit Agreement provides for an initial maximum principal amount of borrowing availability of $1.0 billion, which includes a $100.0 million letter-of-credit subfacility and a $300.0 million foreign currency revolving credit subfacility. The new credit facility contains an "accordion" feature under which we may increase the total maximum principal amount available by $1.0 billion, to a total of $2.0 billion, subject to lender consent. The new credit facility matures on October 2, 2028. We have two options to extend the maturity date of the new credit facility by an additional six months each (for a total of 12 months), subject to paying additional fees and the absence of any default. The unsecured revolving credit facility bears interest at a floating rate of SOFR plus 1.15% (based on our unsecured debt ratings and with a SOFR floor of zero), which was 5.98% at September 30, 2024. Additionally, the facility fee on the revolving credit facility is 0.25%.

In connection with entering into the Amended Credit Agreement, we incurred $9.0 million in fees that were capitalized in deferred financing costs and amortized as part of the effective yield. These fees are included in "Other assets" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we also recorded a non-cash write-off of deferred financing costs (net of accumulated amortization), totaling $0.3 million to "Costs associated with loan refinancing or payoff" in connection with entering into the Amended Credit Agreement.

At September 30, 2024, we had outstanding $179.6 million of Series B senior unsecured notes that were issued in a private placement transaction and are due on August 22, 2026. At September 30, 2024, the interest rate for these Series B private placement notes was 4.56%. The private placement notes were originally issued in two tranches: Series A due 2024; and Series B due 2026. On August 22, 2024, we repaid in full the Series A notes for $136.6 million using funds available under our $1.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility.

Our unsecured revolving credit facility and the private placement notes contain financial covenants or restrictions that limit our levels of consolidated debt, secured debt, investments outside certain categories, stock repurchases and dividend distributions and require us to meet certain coverage levels for fixed charges and debt service. Additionally, these debt instruments contain cross-default provisions if we default under other indebtedness exceeding certain amounts. Those cross-default thresholds vary from $50.0 million to $75.0 million, depending upon the debt instrument. We were in compliance with all financial and other covenants under our debt instruments at September 30, 2024.

Our principal investing activities are acquiring, developing and financing Experiential properties. These investing activities have generally been financed with senior unsecured notes and the proceeds from equity offerings. Our unsecured revolving credit facility and cash from operations are also used to finance the acquisition or development of properties, and to provide mortgage financing. We have and expect to continue to issue debt securities in public or private offerings. We have and may in the future assume mortgage debt in connection with property acquisitions or incur new mortgage debt on existing properties. We may also issue equity securities in connection with acquisitions. Continued growth of our real estate investments and mortgage financing portfolios will depend in part on our continued ability to access funds through additional borrowings and securities offerings and, to a lesser extent, our ability to assume debt in connection with property acquisitions. We may also fund investments with the

proceeds from asset dispositions. As discussed above, due to our current elevated cost of capital, we intend to fund our investments in the near term primarily from cash on hand, excess cash flow, disposition proceeds and borrowing availability under our unsecured revolving credit facility, subject to maintaining our leverage levels consistent with past practice.

Liquidity Requirements

Short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of normal recurring corporate operating expenses, debt service requirements and distributions to shareholders. We have historically met these requirements primarily through cash provided by operating activities. The table below summarizes our cash flows (dollars in thousands):


Nine Months Ended September 30,
2024	2023
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	300,199	$	370,092
Net cash used by investing activities	(145,642)	(97,033)
Net cash used by financing activities	(197,151)	(207,727)

Commitments

As of September 30, 2024, we had 13 development projects with commitments to fund an aggregate of approximately $144.1 million, of which approximately $31.1 million is expected to be funded in the remainder of 2024. Development costs are advanced by us in periodic draws. If we determine that construction is not being completed in accordance with the terms of the development agreement, we may discontinue funding construction draws. We have agreed to lease the properties to the operators at pre-determined rates upon completion of construction.

We have certain commitments related to our mortgage notes investments that we may be required to fund in the future. We are generally obligated to fund these commitments at the request of the borrower or upon the occurrence of events outside of our direct control. As of September 30, 2024, we had five mortgage notes with commitments totaling approximately $73.1 million, of which $20.2 million is expected to be funded in the remainder of 2024. If commitments are funded in the future, interest will be charged at rates consistent with the existing investments.

In connection with construction of our development projects and related infrastructure, certain public agencies require posting of surety bonds to guarantee that our obligations will be satisfied. These bonds expire upon the completion of the improvements or infrastructure. As of September 30, 2024, we had three surety bonds outstanding totaling $0.6 million.

Liquidity Analysis

We currently anticipate that our cash on hand, cash from operations, funds available under our unsecured revolving credit facility and proceeds from asset dispositions will provide adequate liquidity to meet our financial commitments, including the amounts needed to fund our operations, make recurring debt service payments, allow distributions to our shareholders and avoid corporate level federal income or excise tax in accordance with REIT Internal Revenue Code requirements.

Long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of debt maturities. We have $300.0 million of debt maturities due April 1, 2025. We currently believe that we will be able to repay, extend, refinance or otherwise settle our debt maturities as the debt comes due and that we will be able to fund our remaining commitments, as necessary. However, there can be no assurance that additional financing or capital will be available, or that terms will be acceptable or advantageous to us, particularly in light of the challenging economic environment and our elevated cost of capital.

Our primary use of cash after paying operating expenses, debt service, distributions to shareholders and funding existing commitments is in growing our investment portfolio through acquiring, developing and financing additional properties. We expect to finance these investments with borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility as well as debt and equity financing alternatives or proceeds from asset dispositions. If we borrow the maximum amount available under our unsecured revolving credit facility, there can be no assurance that we will be able to

obtain additional or substitute investment financing. We may also assume mortgage debt in connection with property acquisitions. The availability and terms of any such financing or sales will depend upon market and other conditions.

The challenging economic environment has increased our cost of capital, which has negatively impacted our ability to make investments in the near-term. As a result, we intend to continue to be more selective in making investments, acquisitions, utilizing cash on hand, excess cash flow and borrowings under our line of credit until such time as economic conditions improve and our cost of capital returns to acceptable levels.

Capital Structure

We believe that our shareholders are best served by a conservative capital structure. Therefore, we seek to maintain a conservative debt level on our balance sheet as measured primarily by our net debt to adjusted EBITDAre ratio (see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for definitions). Because adjusted EBITDAre, as defined, does not include the annualization of investments put in service, acquired or disposed of during the quarter, or the potential earnings on property under development, the annualization of percentage rent and adjustments for other items, we also look at an additional ratio that reflects these adjustments. We also seek to maintain conservative interest, fixed charge, debt service coverage and net debt to gross asset ratios (see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for calculations).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Funds From Operations (FFO), Funds From Operations As Adjusted (FFOAA) and Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO)

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") developed FFO as a relative non-GAAP financial measure of performance of an equity REIT in order to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP. Pursuant to the definition of FFO by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, we calculate FFO as net incomeavailable to common shareholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains and losses from disposition of real estate and impairment losses on real estate, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other affiliates. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other affiliates are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. We have calculated FFO for all periods presented in accordance with this definition.

In addition to FFO, we present FFOAA and AFFO. FFOAA is presented by adding to FFO retirement and severance expense, transaction costs, provision (benefit) for credit losses, net, costs associated with loan refinancing or payoff, preferred share redemption costs and impairment of operating lease right-of-use assets and subtracting sale participation income, gain on insurance recovery and deferred income tax (benefit) expense. AFFO is presented by adding to FFOAA non-real estate depreciation and amortization, deferred financing fees amortization and share-based compensation expense to management and Trustees, and subtracting amortization of above and below market leases, net and tenant allowances, maintenance capital expenditures (including second generation tenant improvements and leasing commissions), straight-lined rental revenue (removing the impact of straight-line ground sublease expense), the non-cash portion of mortgage and other financing income and the allocated share of joint venture non-cash items.

FFO, FFOAA and AFFO are widely used measures of the operating performance of real estate companies and are provided here as supplemental measures to GAAP net income available to common shareholders and earnings per share, and management provides FFO, FFOAA and AFFO herein because it believes this information is useful to investors in this regard. FFO, FFOAA and AFFO are non-GAAP financial measures. FFO, FFOAA and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and are not indicative that cash flows are adequate to fund all cash needs and are not to be considered alternatives to net income or any other GAAP measure as a measurement of the results of our operations or our cash flows or liquidity as defined by GAAP. It should also be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO, FFOAA and AFFO the same way so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful.

The following table summarizes our FFO, FFOAA and AFFO including per share amounts for FFO and FFOAA, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and reconciles such measures to net income available to common shareholders, the most directly comparable GAAP measure (unaudited, in thousands, except per share information):

The effect of the conversion of our convertible preferred shares is calculated using the if-converted method and the conversion, which results in the most dilution is included in the computation of per share amounts. The conversion of the 5.75% Series C cumulative convertible preferred shares and the 9.00% Series E cumulative convertible preferred shares would be dilutive to FFO, FFOAA and AFFO per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023. Therefore, the additional common shares that would result from the conversion and the corresponding add-back of the preferred dividends declared on those shares are included in the calculation of diluted FFO and FFOAA per share and would be included in a calculation of AFFO per share.

Net Debt

Net Debt represents debt (reported in accordance with GAAP) adjusted to exclude deferred financing costs, net and reduced for cash and cash equivalents. By excluding deferred financing costs, net, and reducing debt for cash and cash equivalents on hand, the result provides an estimate of the contractual amount of borrowed capital to be repaid, net of cash available to repay it. We believe this calculation constitutes a beneficial supplemental non-GAAP financial disclosure to investors in understanding our financial condition. Our method of calculating Net Debt may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

Gross Assets

Gross Assets represents total assets (reported in accordance with GAAP) adjusted to exclude accumulated depreciation and reduced for cash and cash equivalents. By excluding accumulated depreciation and reducing cash and cash equivalents, the result provides an estimate of the investment made by us. We believe that investors commonly use versions of this calculation in a similar manner. Our method of calculating Gross Assets may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

Net Debt to Gross Assets Ratio

Net Debt to Gross Assets Ratio is a supplemental measure derived from non-GAAP financial measures that we use to evaluate capital structure and the magnitude of debt to gross assets. We believe that investors commonly use versions of this ratio in a similar manner. Our method of calculating the Net Debt to Gross Assets Ratio may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

EBITDAre

NAREIT developed EBITDAre as a relative non-GAAP financial measure of REITs, independent of a company's capital structure, to provide a uniform basis to measure the enterprise value of a company. Pursuant to the definition of EBITDAre by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, we calculate EBITDAre as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding interest expense (net), income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from disposition of real estate, impairment losses on real estate, costs associated with loan refinancing or payoff and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other affiliates.

Management provides EBITDAre herein because it believes this information is useful to investors as a supplemental performance measure because it can help facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and with other REITs. Our method of calculating EBITDAre may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. EBITDAre is not a measure of performance under GAAP, does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. This measure should not be considered an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measure as a measurement of the results of our operations or cash flows or liquidity as defined by GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDAre

Management uses Adjusted EBITDAre in its analysis of the performance of the business and operations of the Company. Management believes Adjusted EBITDAre is useful to investors because it excludes various items that management believes are not indicative of operating performance, and because it is an informative measure to use in computing various financial ratios to evaluate the Company. We define Adjusted EBITDAre as EBITDAre (defined above) for the quarter excluding sale participation income, gain on insurance recovery, retirement and severance expense, transaction costs, provision (benefit) for credit losses, net, impairment losses on operating lease right-of-use assets and prepayment fees.

Our method of calculating Adjusted EBITDAre may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Adjusted EBITDAre is not a measure of performance under GAAP, does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. This measure should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measure as a measurement of the results of our operations or cash flows or liquidity as defined by GAAP.

Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAre Ratio

Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAre Ratio is a supplemental measure derived from non-GAAP financial measures that we use to evaluate our capital structure and the magnitude of our debt against our operating performance. We believe that investors commonly use versions of this ratio in a similar manner. In addition, financial institutions use versions of this ratio in connection with debt agreements to set pricing and covenant limitations. Our method of calculating the Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAre Ratio may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

Reconciliations of debt, total assets and net income (all reported in accordance with GAAP) to Net Debt, Gross Assets, Net Debt to Gross Assets Ratio, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAre Ratio (each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure), as applicable, are included in the following tables (unaudited, in thousands):

Total Investments

Total investments is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as the sum of the carrying values of real estate investments (before accumulated depreciation), land held for development, property under development, mortgage notes receivable and related accrued interest receivable, net, investment in joint ventures, intangible assets, gross (before accumulated amortization and included in other assets) and notes receivable and related accrued interest receivable, net (included in other assets). Total investments is a useful measure for management and investors as it illustrates across which asset categories the Company's funds have been invested. Our method of calculating total investments may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. A reconciliation of total assets (computed in accordance with GAAP) to total investments is included in the following table (unaudited, in thousands):

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks, primarily relating to potential losses due to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We seek to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in interest rates by matching the term of new investments with new long-term fixed rate borrowings whenever possible. As of September 30, 2024, we had a $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility with $169.0 millionoutstanding. We also had a $25.0 million bond that bears interest at a floating rate but has been fixed through an interest rate swap agreement.

As of September 30, 2024, we had a 65% investment interest in two unconsolidated real estate joint ventures related to two experiential lodging properties located in St. Pete Beach, Florida. At September 30, 2024, the joint ventures had a secured mortgage loan with an outstanding balance of $105.0 million. The mortgage loan bears interest at SOFR plus 3.65%, with monthly interest payments required. The joint venture includes an interest rate cap agreement to limit the variable portion of the interest rate (SOFR) on this note to 3.5% from June 1, 2024 to December 1, 2024.

We are subject to risks associated with debt financing, including the risk that existing indebtedness may not be refinanced or that the terms of such refinancing may not be as favorable as the terms of current indebtedness. The majority of our borrowings are subject to contractual agreements or mortgages, which limit the amount of indebtedness we may incur. Accordingly, if we are unable to raise additional equity or borrow money due to these limitations or otherwise, our ability to make additional real estate investments may be limited.

We are exposed to foreign currency risk against our functional currency, the U.S. dollar, on our six Canadian properties and the rents received from tenants of the properties are payable in CAD. To hedge our CAD denominated cash flows and our net investment in our six Canadian properties, we entered into cross-currency swaps designated as cash flow hedges and foreign currency forwards designated as net investment hedges as further described below.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

To hedge our interest rate risk, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement on our variable rate secured bonds with a notional amount of $25.0 million. The interest rate cap agreement limits the variable portion of the interest rate (SOFR) on this bond to 2.5325% until September 30, 2026.

Cash Flow Hedges of Foreign Exchange Risk-Cross Currency Swaps

We entered into three USD-CAD cross-currency swaps that became effective July 1, 2022, mature on October 1, 2024, and have a total fixed original notional value of $150.0 million CAD and $118.7 million USD. The net effect of these swaps provides a fixed exchange rate of $1.26 CAD per USD on approximately $10.8 million annual CAD denominated cash flows.

We entered into two USD-CAD cross-currency swaps that became effective May 1, 2022, mature on October 1, 2024 and have a total fixed notional value of $200.0 million CAD and $156.0 million USD. The net effect of these swaps provides a fixed exchange rate of $1.28 CAD per USD on approximately $4.5 million of annual CAD denominated cash flows.

We entered into three USD-CAD cross-currency swaps that became effective June 1, 2022, mature on December 1, 2024 and have a total fixed notional value of $90.0 million CAD and $69.5 million USD. The net effect of these swaps provides a fixed exchange rate of $1.30 CAD per USD on approximately $8.1 million of annual CAD denominated cash flows.

On September 17, 2024, we entered into six USD-CAD cross-currency swaps that will be effective October 1, 2024 with a total fixed original notional value of $170.0 million CAD and $125.0 million USD. The net effect of these swaps is to lock in an exchange rate of $1.35 CAD per USD on approximately $15.3 million annual CAD denominated cash flows through December 2026.

Additionally, on September 17, 2024, we entered into two USD-CAD cross-currency swaps that will be effective December 1, 2024 with a total fixed original notional value of $90.0 million CAD and $66.2 million USD. The net effect of these swaps is to lock in an exchange rate of $1.35 CAD per USD on approximately $8.1 million annual CAD denominated cash flows through December 2026.

Net Investment Hedges - Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

We entered into two forward contracts that became effective December 13, 2023 with a fixed notional value of $200.0 million CAD and $148.3 million USD with a settlement date of October 1, 2025. The exchange rate of these forward contracts is approximately $1.35 CAD per USD.

We entered into a forward contract that became effective December 13, 2023 with a fixed notional value of $90.0 million CAD and $66.8 million USD with a settlement date of December 1, 2025. The exchange rate of this forward contract is approximately $1.35 CAD per USD.

For foreign currency derivatives designated as net investment hedges, the change in the fair value of the derivatives are reported in AOCI as part of the cumulative translation adjustment. Amounts are reclassified out of AOCI into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated.

See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on our derivative financial instruments and hedging activities.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosures controls and procedures

As of September 30, 2024, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based upon and as of the date of that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Limitations on the effectiveness of controls

Our disclosure controls were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures would meet their objectives. Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the designed control objectives and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusions of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective, maturing control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Change in internal controls

There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter of the fiscal year to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are subject to certain claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business, the outcome of which cannot be determined at this time. In the opinion of management, any liability we might incur upon the resolution of these claims and lawsuits will not, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors associated with our business previously disclosed in Item 1A - "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024.
