Data Quality Notes

Note: For REITs, FFO and AFFO are the key cash metrics. Net Income is distorted by high depreciation on properties.
Note: Owner Pocket percentages are relative to AFFO (not FCF), as AFFO represents true cash available for distribution.
Warning: AFFO Payout Ratio is 1225%, exceeding 100%. Dividend may not be sustainable without additional capital.
Warning: Interest Coverage is 0.9x, indicating potential debt service pressure.
Note: Deleveraging - net debt repayment of $444.2M.
