2025 Annual Results
Rental revenues: Rental revenues increased $37.9 million, or 32.4%, compared to fiscal year 2024. The year-over-year growth was primarily driven by $13.1 million in additional revenue associated with the new Kentucky Master Lease, as well as rents from the Company's 2024 and 2025 acquisitions. These rents included the Missouri master lease with Reliant Care Group ($10.3 million), Tide Group master lease ($5.5 million), and the Kansas master lease ($2.8 million). The growth also reflects reimbursed property taxes from tenants.
Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation expense increased $6.7 million, or 23.2%, compared to fiscal year 2024. The results were driven by the $87.5 Missouri acquisition in December 2024 and $112.1 million of new real estate investments acquired during 2025. Amortization expense increased $5.8 million, or 124.9%, primarily due to the amortization of an asset associated with the offsetting note payable for the re-tenanting of the properties under the Kentucky Master Lease.
General and Administrative Expense: General and administrative expenses increased $1.8 million, or 25.6%, compared to fiscal year 2024. The growth was primarily due to $1.7 million of higher payroll expenses from increased executive compensation and employee bonus costs.
Property and Other Taxes Expense: Property tax expenses increased $0.8 million, or 5.2%, compared to fiscal year 2024. This increase was driven primarily by higher property tax obligations, which rose as a result of approximately $0.8 million in new property taxes paid in 2025 from assets acquired during 2024.
Interest expense, net: Interest expense increased $16.0 million, or 49.1%, compared to fiscal year 2024. The increase was primarily driven by $9.3 million of higher bond interest expense from the issuance of a Bond Series B, $4.7 million of additional interest expense related to a note payable entered into during 2025, and $4.2 million of increased mortgage interest expense from a third commercial bank loan facility used to finance the 2024 acquisition of the Missouri facilities. These increases were offset by lower interest payments due to reductions in loan principal.
Net Income: The increase in net income from $26.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 to $33.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 is due to increased rental revenues which were offset by higher depreciation, amortization, property taxes, general and administrative and interest expenses.
