CEO COMMENTS

“We are pleased to announce another quarter with strong results. The continued upward revisions to our earnings outlook for the year reflect the high quality and diversification of our tenant base, strength of our underlying real estate and accretive capital allocation strategy. With our strong balance sheet position going into the second half of the year, we believe we are well positioned to take advantage of new opportunities,” stated Jackson Hsieh, President and Chief Executive Officer.

DIVIDEND

For the second quarter of 2023, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.663 per share of common stock, representing an annualized rate of $2.652 per share, and a quarterly cash dividend of $0.375 per preferred share. The common stock dividend was paid on July 14, 2023 to stockholders of record as of June 30, 2023 and the preferred stock dividend was paid on June 30, 2023 to stockholders of record as of June 15, 2023.

2023 GUIDANCE

The Company updated its guidance for fiscal year 2023:

• AFFO per share of $3.56 to $3.62
• Capital deployment of $700 million to $900 million (comprised of acquisitions and revenue producing expenditures)
• Dispositions of approximately $400 million

The Company does not provide a reconciliation for its guidance range of AFFO per diluted share to net income available to common stockholders per diluted share, the most directly comparable forward looking GAAP financial measure, due to the inherent variability in timing and/or amount of various items that could impact net income available to common stockholders per diluted share, including, for example, gains/losses on debt extinguishment, impairments and other items that are outside the control of the Company.
