Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Strawberry Fields REIT, Inc. reported operating results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026 and highlighted key financing and investment activities. The company collected 100% of contractual rents and on June 18, 2026 closed a new Corporate Credit Facility with total availability of $300 million, consisting of a $100 million term loan and a $200 million revolving line of credit, both with initial three-year terms, two one-year extension options, and an interest rate of SOFR + 2.75%. Proceeds refinanced existing secured bank debt, with remaining capacity available to support acquisitions.
On April 21, 2026, Strawberry Fields entered a contract to acquire a hospital campus near Kansas City, Missouri for $10.4 million, to be funded from the balance sheet and added to an existing master lease with initial annual base rent of $1.04 million and 3% annual increases, expected to close in the third quarter of 2026. For the quarter, rental revenues increased by $2.2 million (6%) versus a year earlier, while general and administrative expenses rose by $1.3 million (62%), driven by costs related to the new credit facility and higher compensation. Net income for the quarter increased from $8.6 million to $8.9 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net income was $18.4 million. Funds From Operations for the six-month period were 41,035 (dollars in $1,000s), with FFO per weighted average common share and OP Units of 0.74, and Funds from Operations, as Adjusted, of 36,945, or 0.66 per share.

Moishe Gubin, the Company’s Chairman & CEO, noted: “I am pleased that we were able to close the Corporate Credit Facility this quarter. Obtaining a credit facility is something the Company has been talking about for some time now and having access to the CCF without the need for facility level debt puts the Company more in line with our peers. Further, having access to this CCF will be useful as we head towards year-end and have deals to close.”
Mr. Gubin continued to say “As our financials reflect, the Company continues to do well. We have continued to collect all our rents and our tenants have been bringing us deals to add to their master leases. I am delighted to see that our stock price has been gaining traction and we are slowing closing the gap on our trading multiples with our peers.”
Q2 2026 Quarterly Results of Operations:
Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2025:
Rental revenues: The increase in rental revenues of $2.2 million or 6% is due to higher income from the purchase of additional properties and lease renewals.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2025:

Funds From Operations (“FFO”)
The Company believes that funds from operations (“FFO”), as defined in accordance with the definition used by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), and adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of our operating performance. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation (except on land), such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT that uses historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income, as defined by GAAP. FFO is defined as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, plus real estate depreciation and amortization. AFFO is defined as FFO excluding the impact of straight-line rent, above-/below-market leases, non-cash compensation and certain non-recurring items. We believe that the use of FFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, improves the understanding of our operating results among investors and makes comparisons of operating results among REITs more meaningful. We consider FFO and AFFO to be useful measures for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding the applicable items listed above, FFO and AFFO can help investors compare our operating performance between periods or as compared to other companies.
While FFO and AFFO are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of REITs, they do not represent cash flows from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. FFO and AFFO also do not consider the costs associated with capital expenditures related to our real estate assets nor do they purport to be indicative of cash available to fund our future cash requirements. Further, our computation of FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to FFO and AFFO reported by other REITs that do not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition or define AFFO differently than we do.
The following table reconciles our calculations of FFO and AFFO for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, to net income the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, for the same periods:
