What drove it

Analysis
IIP reported third-quarter total revenues of $64.9 million, up 0.4% from $64.7 million in the same period in 2025. The revenue increase was driven by higher revenue on repossessed properties through security-deposit applications, including $3.8 million applied to properties leased to The Cannabist and Parallel. This was partly offset by lower rental revenue following property sales and lease terminations after the third quarter of 2025. Rental revenue including tenant reimbursements was $64,743, compared with $64,292 in the prior-year quarter.
GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders was $28.7 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, compared with $28.3 million, or $0.97 per diluted share. Income from operations was $29,384, compared with $29,414, while interest and other income rose to $14,331 from $4,416. The Company attributed the increase in interest and other income primarily to $10.4 million of IQHQ-related interest and dividend income and income on the Perth, New York seller-financed note. Interest expense increased to $11,820 from $4,525.
Non-GAAP AFFO attributable to common stockholders was $54,777, or $1.96 per diluted share, compared with $48,348, or $1.71 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. Management stated that AFFO per share was up 7% compared to the second quarter. The Company declared a $1.90 per common share dividend, which represented an annualized dividend of $7.60 per common share. The dividend was paid on October 15, 2026.
Capital deployment shifted further into life science investments. IIP entered a $245.0 million mezzanine loan commitment connected to Alewife Park, funding approximately $111.0 million at closing, and had funded an aggregate $300.0 million strategic investment in IQHQ as of September 30, 2026. The balance sheet reported $142.4 million of liquidity, $711,561 of total debt, $569,209 of net debt and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA of 2.1x. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company raised $54.2 million in gross proceeds through its Series B preferred offering and extended its $87.5 million revolving credit facility to January 21, 2027.
Portfolio operations remain the principal operating focus. The Company terminated 16 leases representing 1.2 million square feet and entered into 6 leases representing 604,000 square feet during the quarter. It had terminated all PharmaCann leases by September 30, regained possession of two Parallel properties and seven Cannabist properties, and retained three 4Front-leased properties representing 7.1% of annualized contractual rent. The prospective replacement arrangements for the 4Front assets remain contingent on receivership proceedings and other conditions.
Management, verbatim
We are pleased to report strong earnings with our AFFO per share up 7% compared to the second quarter, and are encouraged by the continued leasing momentum across our portfolio, reflecting our team's ongoing efforts to re-lease properties.
Alan Gold, Executive Chairman
