Conference Call and Webcast Scheduled for May 9, 2024, at 11 a.m. Eastern Time

New Canaan, CT, May 09, 2024 /GLOBE NEWSWIRE/ — NewLake Capital Partners, Inc. (OCTQX: NLCP) (the “Company” or “NewLake”), a leading provider of real estate capital to state-licensed cannabis operators, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Anthony Coniglio, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are pleased with the performance of our portfolio and financial results during the first quarter of 2024. Our growth in revenue and AFFO year-over-year and sequentially, after deducting one-time adjustments in the fourth quarter, are what drove our second consecutive quarterly dividend increase to $0.41 per share, or $1.64 per share annually. Looking forward, the cannabis industry has much to be excited about following the proposal to reschedule cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule 3, an increase in meaningful dialogue among congressional leaders, and medical to adult-use conversion in Ohio and the Adult-use ballot in Florida.”

First Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights

Quarter-over-quarter Revenue, Net Income, Funds from Operations (“FFO”), and Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”) were impacted by non-recurring revenue recognized in the fourth quarter 2023. As a result, presented below reflects only the first quarter financial results.

First quarter 2024 financial results

Revenue totaled $12.6 million.
Net income attributable to common stockholders totaled $6.9 million.
FFO(1) totaled $10.6 million.
AFFO(1) totaled $11.0 million.

Comparison to the first quarter ended March 31, 2023:

Quarterly year-over-year financial results were impacted by the non-payment of contractual rent from one tenant in 2023.

Revenue totaled $12.6 million, as compared to $11.4 million, a increase of 10.4% year-over-year.

First Quarter 2024 Operational Highlights and Recent Developments

In May 2024, the Company purchased a cultivation facility in Connecticut for approximately $4 million and committed to fund $12 million for TI. The property was leased to an existing tenant.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Funds From Operations

The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition. NAREIT currently defines FFO as follows: net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by an entity. Other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently and therefore the Company’s computation of FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs.

Adjusted Funds From Operations

The Company calculates AFFO by starting with FFO and adjusting for non-cash and certain non-recurring transactions, including non-cash components of compensation expense and the effect of provisions for credit loss. Other REITs may not define AFFO in the same manner and therefore the Company’s calculation of AFFO may not be comparable to such other REITs. You should not consider FFO and AFFO to be alternatives to net income as a reliable measure of our operating performance; nor should you consider FFO and AFFO to be alternatives to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities (as defined by GAAP) as measures of liquidity.

The table below is a reconciliation of net income attributable to common stockholders to FFO and AFFO for the three and three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):
