Financial Results

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, IIP generated total revenues of approximately $76.5 million, compared to approximately $70.5 million for the same period in 2022, an increase of 8%. The increase was driven primarily by activity in prior periods for the acquisition and leasing of new properties, additional building infrastructure allowances provided to tenants at certain properties that resulted in increases to base rent, tenant reimbursements and contractual rental escalations at certain properties. As described above, rental revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023 also included approximately $1.5 million of security deposits applied for payment of rent for IIP’s leases with Holistic and Temescal. Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 included approximately $5.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of tenant reimbursements for property insurance premiums and property taxes.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, IIP recorded net income attributable to common stockholders of approximately $40.9 million, or $1.44 per diluted share; funds from operations (FFO) (diluted) of approximately $57.7 million, or $2.04 per diluted share; normalized FFO (Normalized FFO) of approximately $58.4 million, or $2.07 per diluted share; and AFFO of approximately $64.0 million, or $2.26 per diluted share.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, IIP recorded net income attributable to common stockholders of approximately $81.7 million, or $2.87 per diluted share; funds from operations (FFO) (diluted) of approximately $115.2 million, or $4.08 per diluted share; normalized FFO (Normalized FFO) of approximately $116.4 million, or $4.12 per diluted share; and AFFO of approximately $127.4 million, or $4.51 per diluted share.

IIP paid a quarterly dividend of $1.80 per common share on July 14, 2023 to stockholders of record as of June 30, 2023. IIP’s AFFO payout ratio was 80% (calculated by dividing the common stock dividend declared per share by IIP’s AFFO per common share – diluted for the quarter). The common stock dividends declared for the twelve months ended June 30, 2023 of $7.20 per common share represent an increase of $0.70, or 11%, over dividends declared for the twelve months ended June 30, 2022.

FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures used in the real estate industry to measure and compare the operating performance of real estate companies. A complete reconciliation containing adjustments from GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders to FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO and definitions of terms are included at the end of this release.
