"This disciplined growth, combined with continued strength across our experiential portfolio, drove strong quarterly earnings, while our new $1.6 billion credit agreement further enhances our liquidity and financial flexibility to pursue additional opportunities.

The Amended Credit Agreement replaced the Company’s existing $1.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility.

The amendments to the unsecured revolving credit facility, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date from October 2, 2028 to July 17, 2030, with two six-month extension options, subject to the payment of additional fees and the satisfaction of customary conditions, (ii) generally reduce the interest rate payable on outstanding loans by 5 basis points, (iii) modify the asset value calculations under certain financial covenants to include the expected cash proceeds from the sale of common shares under qualified forward equity contracts and (iv) split the prior revolving facility’s $300.0 million foreign currency sublimit into a separate, stand-alone foreign currency revolving credit facility of the same size.

The Amended Credit Agreement also established a new senior unsecured delayed draw term loan facility that, among other things, (i) provides for an initial committed amount of $600.0 million that may be drawn upon prior to January 17, 2027, subject to earlier termination, (ii) bears interest based on the Company’s credit ratings (SOFR plus 115 basis points at closing), (iii) carries a ticking fee of 0.25% per annum on undrawn commitments beginning on October 16, 2026, and (iv) matures on January 17, 2032.

In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement includes a $1.0 billion accordion feature on the combined unsecured revolving credit and delayed draw term loan facilities that increases the maximum amount available under the combined facilities from $1.6 billion to $2.6 billion, at the Company’s election and subject to lender consent and customary conditions.

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, the Company calculates FFO as net income available to common shareholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains and losses on real estate transactions 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. The Company has calculated FFO for all periods presented in accordance with this definition.

In addition to FFO, the Company presents 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-lined 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 FFO, FFOAA and AFFO, including per share amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and reconciles such measures to net income available to common shareholders, the most directly comparable GAAP measure:

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 six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. 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, FFOAA and AFFO per share for those periods.

Net Debt and Proforma 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. Proforma Net Debt is presented by subtracting the estimated net proceeds from forward sales agreements under the Company's ATM Program from Net Debt. The Company believes both of these calculations constitute beneficial supplemental non-GAAP financial disclosures to investors in understanding our financial condition. The Company's method of calculating Net Debt and Proforma 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 by cash and cash equivalents. By excluding accumulated depreciation and reducing cash and cash equivalents, the result provides an estimate of the investment made by the Company. The Company believes that investors commonly use versions of this calculation in a similar manner. The Company's 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 and Proforma Net Debt to Gross Assets Ratio

Net Debt to Gross Assets Ratio and Proforma Net Debt to Gross Assets Ratio are supplemental measures derived from non-GAAP financial measures that the Company uses to evaluate capital structure and the magnitude of debt to gross assets. The Company believes that investors commonly use versions of these ratios in similar manners. The Company's method of calculating the Net Debt to Gross Assets Ratio and Proforma 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, the Company calculates EBITDAre as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding interest expense (net), income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization, gains and losses on real estate transactions, 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. The Company's 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 the Company's 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. The Company defines 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.

The Company's 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 the Company's operations or cash flows or liquidity as defined by GAAP.

Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAre Ratio and Proforma Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAre Ratio

Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAre Ratio and Proforma Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAre Ratio are supplemental measures derived from non-GAAP financial measures that the Company uses to evaluate our capital structure and the magnitude of our debt against our operating performance. The Company believes that investors commonly use versions of these ratios in similar manners. In addition, financial institutions use versions of these ratios in connection with debt agreements to set pricing and covenant limitations. The Company's method of calculating the Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAre Ratio and Proforma 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, Proforma Net Debt, Gross Assets, Net Debt to Gross Assets Ratio, Proforma Net Debt to Gross Assets Ratio, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAre Ratio and Proforma 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 except ratios):

Settlement of these shares is subject to customary closing conditions, and actual net proceeds will be net of costs and certain adjustments calculated on the settlement date.

(2) Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter is multiplied by four to calculate an annualized amount but does not include the annualization of investments put in service, acquired or disposed of during the quarter, as well as the potential earnings on property under development, the annualization of percentage rent and participating interest and adjustments for other items. See detailed calculation and reconciliation of Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre and Net Debt/Annualized EBITDAre ratio that includes these adjustments in the Company's Supplemental Operating and Financial Data for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

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.
