New Revolving Credit Facility
- In October, closed on a new three-year, $100.0 million secured revolving credit facility (the “Life Science Credit Facility”) with a federally regulated commercial bank. The Life Science Credit Facility is secured by the Company’s IQHQ investment and had an interest rate of 6.1% as of December 31, 2025. The Life Science Credit Facility also includes a $35.0 million “accordion feature” that permits the Company to expand the borrowing capacity to a total of $135.0 million, subject to the addition of other lenders. As of December 31, 2025, outstanding borrowings under our Life Science Credit Facility were $75.0 million.
Financial Results
For the three months ended December 31, 2025, IIP generated total revenues of $66.7 million, compared to $76.7 million for the same period in 2024, a decrease of 13.1%. The decrease was primarily driven by an $8.5 million decrease in rental revenue and a $1.6 million decrease in tenant reimbursements primarily due to tenant defaults for properties leased to PharmaCann, TILT and 4Front.
For the three months ended December 31, 2025, IIP did not apply any security deposits for the payment of rent. For the three months ended December 31, 2024, IIP applied $5.7 million of security deposits for payment of rent on properties leased to five tenants.
For the three months ended December 31, 2025, interest and other income increased by $4.1 million to $6.7 million, compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by the recognition of $5.0 million of interest and dividend income related to our financial investments in IQHQ. The increase was partially offset by lower income from interest-bearing investments as a result of lower invested balances and lower interest rates earned on those balances.
Dividend
On December 15, 2025, the Board of Directors declared a fourth quarter 2025 dividend of $1.90 per common share, representing an annualized dividend of $7.60 per common share. The dividend was paid on January 15, 2026 to stockholders of record as of December 31, 2025.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, amount reflects the $3.9 million disposition-contingent lease termination fee received concurrently with the sale of IIP’s property in Los Angeles, California, net of the loss on sale of the property of $3.4 million. |

(2) |
Positive amounts represent non-refundable cash payments received pursuant to two seller-financed notes issued by us in connection with our disposition of certain properties. As the transactions did not qualify for recognition as completed sales under GAAP, the payments were initially recorded as a deposit liability and included in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the negative amount resulted from the recognition of $2.6 million of nonrefundable cash payments received on one of the seller-financed notes as interest and other income in connection with the termination of the note. |

(3) |
Amount reflects the non-refundable lease payments received on two sales-type leases which are recognized as a deposit liability starting on January 1, 2024, and is included in other liabilities in IIP’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, as the transactions did not qualify for recognition as completed sales. Prior to the lease modifications on January 1, 2024, which extended the initial lease terms, the leases were classified as operating leases and the lease payments received were recognized as rental revenue and therefore, included in net income attributable to common stockholders. |

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Funds From Operations (FFO)
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. IIP also excludes from FFO any disposition-contingent lease termination fee received in connection with a property sale.
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 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. IIP reports FFO and FFO per share because these measures are observed by management to also be the predominant measures used by the REIT industry and by industry analysts to evaluate REITs and because FFO per share is consistently reported, discussed, and compared by research analysts in their notes and publications about REITs. For these reasons, management has deemed it appropriate to disclose and discuss FFO and FFO per share.
Normalized Funds from Operations (Normalized FFO)
IIP computes Normalized FFO by adjusting FFO, as defined by NAREIT, to exclude certain GAAP income and expense amounts that management believes are infrequent and unusual in nature and/or not related to IIP's core real estate operations. Exclusion of these items from similar FFO-type metrics is common within the equity REIT industry, and management believes that presentation of Normalized FFO and Normalized FFO per share provides investors with a metric to assist in their evaluation of IIP's operating performance across multiple periods and in comparison to the operating performance of other companies, because it removes the effect of unusual items that are not expected to impact IIP's operating performance on an ongoing basis. Normalized FFO is used by management in evaluating the performance of IIP's core business operations.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, IIP revised its presentation of Normalized FFO to include two adjustments related to income on seller-financed notes and deferred lease payments received on sales-type leases that were previously reflected in adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”), which has been reflected for all periods presented. Management believes this change better aligns the Company’s presentation with its assessment of core operating performance and improves comparability with industry peers. Items included in calculating FFO that may be excluded in calculating Normalized FFO include certain transaction-related gains, losses, income or expense or other non-core amounts as they occur.
Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)
Management believes that AFFO and AFFO per share are also appropriate supplemental measures of a REIT’s operating performance. IIP calculates AFFO by adjusting Normalized FFO for certain non-cash items.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, FFO (diluted), Normalized FFO and AFFO, and FFO, Normalized 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 of the Exchangeable Senior Notes were exchanged at the beginning of the respective reporting period. The Exchangeable Senior Notes matured in February 2024.
IIP’s computation of FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such REITs. Further, FFO, Normalized FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flow available for management’s discretionary use. FFO, Normalized 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, Normalized FFO and AFFO should be considered only as supplements to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as measures of IIP’s operations.
