Analysis
Orion reported second-quarter total revenues of $34.3 million, compared with $37.3 million in the same quarter of 2025. Net income attributable to common stockholders was $24.6 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, compared with a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $(25.1) million, or $(0.45) per diluted share. The company attributed the increase in net income primarily to an increase in gains on dispositions of real estate assets of $27.9 million and a decrease in impairment charges of $19.5 million, each versus the same quarter of the prior year.
Core FFO was $11.8 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared with $11.5 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the same quarter of 2025. This maintained per-share Core FFO despite lower reported revenue. The quarter also produced FFO of $9.2 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA of $17.2 million, and Net Debt to Annualized Most Recent Quarter Adjusted EBITDA of 5.4x.
Portfolio activity centered on leasing and dispositions. Orion completed 202,000 square feet of leasing during the quarter and approximately 673,000 square feet through the end of July. It sold two Operating Properties and the 37.4 acre Deerfield, Illinois campus for an aggregate gross sales price of $70.6 million during the quarter. At June 30, the portfolio contained 57 Operating Properties, with $108.0 million of Annualized Base Rent, 78.1% occupancy, and a 6.2-year weighted average remaining lease term.
Asset sale proceeds supported deleveraging. Orion reduced debt obligations by $60.7 million during the three months ended June 30, including $35.7 million on the CMBS Loan. Principal outstanding was $436.6 million, while liquidity was $176.5 million. The company also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.02 per share for the third quarter of 2026.
Management raised 2026 Core FFO per share guidance to $0.72 - $0.77 from $0.69 - $0.76 and lowered its Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA range to 6.0x - 6.8x from 6.5x - 7.3x. General and Administrative Expense guidance remained unchanged at $19.8 million to $20.8 million. Attention remains on leasing execution, occupancy, the pending $3.4 million property sale, and the ongoing strategic options review process.
Management, verbatim
With approximately 673,000 square feet of leasing completed through the end of July, we continue to execute on our strategy to further stabilize the portfolio as we build on our leasing momentum the past couple years. At the same time, we advanced our disposition program, closing on two property sales and the 37.4 acre Deerfield, Illinois campus for $70.6 million during the quarter. In concert with these sales, we reduced debt during the quarter by $60.7 million bringing our Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDA to 5.4x. These efforts and the raising of our 2026 financial outlook reflect the tangible progress we’re making toward our target of driving sustainable Core FFO per share growth over time. We remain committed to maximizing value for our stockholders and continue to closely evaluate strategic options as our review process is ongoing.

Background
Orion Properties is a fully integrated single-tenant net lease REIT; this 8-K reports Q2 2026 operating results and financial condition.
Ticker impact
Orion reported Q2 2026 results, raised 2026 Core FFO guidance, declared a Q3 dividend, and reduced net debt to 5.4x adjusted EBITDA.
Moderately positive bias for the next few sessions as traders reprice 2026 Core FFO outlook and leverage trajectory.
The filing is a primary disclosure (8-K with earnings release) and includes multiple decision-relevant datapoints: guidance range change, net debt multiple, leasing completions, and a declared dividend.
Market effects
Reinforces the single-tenant net lease REIT playbook of stabilizing occupancy via renewals while using dispositions to de-lever.
No direct regional macro shock; leasing and dispositions are spread across multiple US markets.
Limited, primarily US REIT credit and rate-sensitivity narrative via leverage and SOFR-linked revolver.
Counterpoint
The headline strength may be offset by ongoing occupancy at 78.1% and reliance on dispositions, with only one pending government-tenant sale still subject to closing conditions.
