Financing Activity


In November 2020, IIP entered into new equity distribution agreements with six sales agents, pursuant to which IIP may offer and sell from time to time through an “at-the-market” offering program up to $500 million in shares of its common stock. From November through today, IIP sold 1,762,500 shares of its common stock for net proceeds of approximately $262.9 million under this program.

IIP expects to use the net proceeds from the sales of these shares to invest in specialized industrial real estate assets that support the regulated medical-use cannabis cultivation and processing industry and for general corporate purposes.


Financial Results

IIP generated total revenues of approximately $37.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared to approximately $17.7 million for the same period in 2019, an increase of 110%. IIP generated total revenues of approximately $116.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to approximately $44.7 million for 2019, an increase of 162%. The increase in both periods was driven primarily by the acquisition and leasing of new properties, additional tenant improvement allowances and construction funding at existing properties resulting in adjustments to base rent, and contractual rental escalations at certain properties. Total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2020 also included approximately $424,000 of the security deposit held by IIP at the properties leased to Vertical being applied to pay part of the rent and associated lease penalties owed by Vertical during this time period.

For the three months ended December 31, 2020, IIP recorded net income attributable to common stockholders and net income attributable to common stockholders per diluted share of approximately $21.0 million and $0.91, respectively; funds from operations (diluted) (“FFO”) and FFO per diluted share of approximately $31.6 million and $1.26, respectively; and AFFO and AFFO per diluted share of approximately $32.4 million and $1.29, respectively. Commencing in the fourth quarter 2020, 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, resulting in the “add-back” to FFO (diluted) from net income of approximately $1.9 million in cash and non-cash interest expense, and the addition of approximately 2.2 million shares to IIP’s total diluted share count for the quarter. The Exchangeable Senior Notes were anti-dilutive for purposes of calculating earnings per diluted share for all prior quarters, and as such, treated as anti-dilutive for purposes of calculating FFO, AFFO and FFO and AFFO per diluted share for all prior quarters.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, IIP recorded net income attributable to common stockholders and net income attributable to common stockholders per diluted share of $64.4 million and $3.27, respectively; FFO (diluted) and FFO per diluted share of $92.4 million and $4.72, respectively; and AFFO and AFFO per diluted share of approximately $97.8 million and $5.00, respectively. The Exchangeable Senior Notes were anti-dilutive for purposes of calculating earnings per diluted share for both 2020 and 2019, and as such, treated as anti-dilutive for purposes of calculating FFO, AFFO and FFO and AFFO per diluted share for both years.

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.

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 months ended December 31, 2020, 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 totaling approximately $1.9 million was added back to FFO (diluted), and the total diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding increased by 2,158,837 shares for the period, which were the potentially issuable shares as if the Exchangeable Senior Notes were exchanged at the beginning of the period. These adjustments applied only for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The Exchangeable Senior Notes were anti-dilutive for purposes of calculating earnings per diluted share for all other periods presented, and as such, were treated as anti-dilutive for purposes of calculating FFO, AFFO and FFO and AFFO per diluted share for fiscal years 2020 and 2019 and the three months ended December 31, 2019.

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.
