Financial Results
IIP generated total revenues of approximately $53.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to approximately $34.3 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of 57%. The increase was driven primarily by the acquisition and leasing of new properties, in addition to contractual rental escalations and amendments at certain properties to provide additional improvement allowances that resulted in adjustments to rent. Rental revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 included approximately $1.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively, of tenant reimbursements for property insurance premiums and property taxes.
IIP generated total revenues of approximately $145.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to approximately $79.8 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of 82%. The increase was driven primarily by the acquisition and leasing of new properties, in addition to contractual rental escalations and amendments at certain properties to provide additional improvement allowances and construction funding that resulted in adjustments to rent. Rental revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 included approximately $2.6 million and $3.7 million, respectively, of tenant reimbursements for property insurance premiums and property taxes.
Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 included $625,000 in stipulated rent paid by the receivership in place previously at IIP’s Los Angeles, California property related to rent owed to IIP in 2020. The receivership concluded and IIP re-leased the property in January 2021 to a subsidiary of Holistic.
Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 included the drawdown of part of the security deposits totaling approximately $940,000 at certain properties as part of temporary rent deferral programs offered to three tenants in April 2020 at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, that were applied to the payment of base rent, property management fees and associated lease penalties. In addition to the drawdown of part of the security deposits, approximately $1.5 million in base rent and property management fees due from these three tenants for May and June 2020 were deferred. As of September 30, 2021, approximately $2.1 million of the deferred rents, property management fees and security deposits have been repaid, with approximately $411,000 remaining to be paid. Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 also included approximately $422,000 of rent and associated lease penalties, and tenant reimbursements received through the drawdown of the security deposit at IIP’s Los Angeles, California property, where the prior tenant was in receivership and defaulted on its lease obligations.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, IIP recorded net income attributable to common stockholders and net income attributable to common stockholders per diluted share of approximately $29.8 million and $1.20, respectively; funds from operations (“FFO”) (diluted) and FFO per diluted share of approximately $42.5 million and $1.62, respectively; and AFFO and AFFO per diluted share of approximately $45.0 million and $1.71, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, IIP recorded net income attributable to common stockholders and net income attributable to common stockholders per diluted share of approximately $84.3 million and $3.41, respectively; FFO (diluted) and FFO per diluted share of approximately $119.6 million and $4.55, respectively; and AFFO and AFFO per diluted share of approximately $126.4 million and $4.81, respectively.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, FFO (diluted), AFFO and FFO and AFFO per diluted share include the dilutive impact of the assumed full exchange of the Exchangeable Senior Notes for shares of common stock. As a result, for purposes of calculating FFO (diluted), cash and non-cash interest expense of the Exchangeable Senior Notes was added back to FFO, and the total diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding increased by 2,193,492 shares for both periods, which were the potentially issuable shares as if the Exchangeable Senior Notes were exchanged at the beginning of the respective periods. These adjustments applied only for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Exchangeable Senior Notes were anti-dilutive for purposes of calculating earnings per diluted share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, and as such, were treated as anti-dilutive for purposes of calculating FFO, AFFO and FFO and AFFO per diluted share for those periods.
3
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 and AFFO and definitions of terms are included at the end of this release.

FFO and FFO per share are operating performance measures adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (NAREIT). NAREIT defines FFO as the most commonly accepted and reported measure of a REIT’s operating performance equal to net income, computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, depreciation, amortization and impairment related to real estate properties, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Management believes that net income, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measurement. However, management believes FFO and FFO per share to be important supplemental measures of a REIT’s performance because they provide an understanding of the operating performance of IIP’s properties without giving effect to certain significant non-cash items, primarily depreciation expense. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions. IIP believes that by excluding the effect of depreciation, FFO and FFO per share can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods. FFO and FFO per share are used by management to evaluate the REIT’s operating performance and these measures are the predominant measures used by the REIT industry and industry analysts to evaluate REITs. For these reasons, management has deemed it appropriate to disclose and discuss FFO and FFO per share.
7
Management believes that AFFO and AFFO per share are also appropriate supplemental measures of a REIT’s operating performance. IIP calculates AFFO by adding to FFO certain non-cash and infrequent or unpredictable expenses which may impact comparability, consisting of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and non-cash interest expense generally.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, FFO (diluted), AFFO and FFO and AFFO per diluted share include the dilutive impact of the assumed full exchange of the Exchangeable Senior Notes for shares of common stock. As a result, for purposes of calculating FFO (diluted), cash and non-cash interest expense of the Exchangeable Senior Notes was added back to FFO, and the total diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding increased by 2,193,492 shares for both periods, which were the potentially issuable shares as if the Exchangeable Senior Notes were exchanged at the beginning of the respective periods. These adjustments applied only for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Exchangeable Senior Notes were anti-dilutive for purposes of calculating earnings per diluted share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, and as such, were treated as anti-dilutive for purposes of calculating FFO, AFFO and FFO and AFFO per diluted share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, 78,582 shares issuable upon vesting of performance share units (“PSUs”) granted to certain employees in January 2021 were dilutive, as the performance thresholds for vesting of these PSUs were met as measured as of September 30, 2021.
IIP’s computation of FFO and AFFO may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO and AFFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such REITs. Further, FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flow available for management’s discretionary use. FFO and AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of IIP’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of IIP’s liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund IIP’s cash needs, including IIP’s ability to pay dividends or make distributions. FFO and AFFO should be considered only as supplements to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as measures of IIP’s operations.
