same-store financial

"metrics for the Company’s same-store facilities (stabilized and comparable properties"

Same-store describes a performance measure that compares sales or activity only at locations open for a defined prior period, excluding results from newly opened or recently closed outlets. Investors use it to see underlying, organic trends—like checking whether an established shop’s customers are buying more or less—so growth isn’t overstated by expansion or distorted by openings and closures.

Regulation FD regulatory

"Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure"

Regulation FD is a rule that prevents company insiders, like executives, from sharing important information with some people before others get it. It matters because it helps ensure all investors have equal access to key news, making the stock market fairer and reducing chances of insider trading.

physical occupancy financial

"Physical occupancy as of August 31, 2026 and August 31, 2025 was 92.4%"

Physical occupancy is the actual number or percentage of units or square footage in a property that are presently being used, occupied or lived in, not just listed on a lease. Investors watch it because it shows whether space is truly producing income and activity — like a storefront that’s technically rented but sitting empty — so it directly affects cash flow, maintenance needs and the realistic value of an asset.

in-place rates financial

"Monthly in-place rates as of August 31, 2026 and August 31, 2025 was $1.70"
