    Executive summary

    Four Corners Property Trust Q2 FY26 — Record Investment Volume and Strategic Diversification

    FCPT achieved a record investment volume in Q2 FY26, significantly diversifying its portfolio with strategic acquisitions like Mission Pet Health, while also executing substantial debt refinancings at attractive rates. The company is confident in its stable cash flow, evidenced by a new monthly dividend, but notes that market valuation has yet to fully reflect its growth and capital allocation discipline. The company is actively exploring new subsectors to expand its investment opportunity set.

    Highlights

    5

    • Exceeded prior record annual investment volume with $382 million year-to-date acquisitions at a blended 6.6% cash cap rate.

    • Completed two large financings totaling $600 million at attractive all-in rates of approximately 4.5% to 4.9%, pushing out debt maturity profile.

    • Portfolio occupancy remained strong at 99.5% with Q2 rent collection at 99.7%, and rent coverage of 5.2x for the majority of the portfolio.

    • Successfully diversified the portfolio, with 41% of cash rent now coming from outside casual dining tenants (Medical Retail 16%, Auto Service 13%, QSR 10%).

    • Q2 AFFO per share grew 1.4% year-over-year to $0.45.

    Concerns

    2

    • Darden is closing 4 of 10 Bahama Breeze properties, representing 0.5% of ABR, though mitigated by Darden's lease commitment and strong backfill demand.

    • Management believes the market is not fully appreciating the company's growth and diversification, leading to a 'yellow zone' equity cost of capital.

    Why it matters

    This is the largest acquisition in company history, and its revenue contribution is critical for growth and diversification.

    Subsequent to quarter end, we completed the acquisition of a 102-property portfolio leased to Mission Pet Health for $268 million... The portfolio closed very early in Q3, so we will have the benefit of nearly all of the annualized cash rent of $17.4 million in our Q3 results...

    Q&A highlights

    7

    What are the plans for remaining debt maturities, and what is the outlook on pricing for these refinancings?

    The company has a fully undrawn revolver as a backstop and strong support in the lending market, providing ample options for addressing maturities. They intend to utilize the attractive rates and tenor of existing debt rather than refinancing prematurely.

    “So we have the fully undrawn revolver, and that's always kind of a backstop if we wanted to take out any of those maturities with that. But then again, I'd also point out that the remarkable support we had in the lending market, having completed $600 million of term loans in the last couple of months. The support for our name and the credit in our portfolio is just really strong.”

    Detailed Narrative

    01

    Record Investment Activity & Diversification

    Four Corners Property Trust exceeded its prior annual investment volume record, acquiring $382 million year-to-date at a blended 6.6% cash cap rate. The company now owns over 1,000 properties, with the original spin-off portfolio representing only 29% of properties, highlighting significant portfolio diversification. This strategic shift has resulted in 41% of cash rent now coming from outside casual dining tenants, including 16% from medical retail, 13% from auto service, and 10% from quick service restaurants.

    02

    Strategic Financings & Balance Sheet Management

    FCPT completed $600 million in new debt capital since April, including a $200 million 7-year term loan at SOFR + 125 basis points and a $400 million 5-year term loan at SOFR + 90 basis points. These financings, with all-in rates of approximately 4.5% to 4.9%, have pushed the pro forma weighted average debt tenor to 4.3 years and generated $450,000 in annual interest savings. The company's revolver is now fully undrawn, and run-rate leverage remains below the 6x upper bound of its stated 5x to 6x range.

    03

    Mission Pet Health Portfolio Acquisition

    Subsequent to quarter-end, FCPT acquired a 102-property portfolio leased to Mission Pet Health for $268 million. This was the largest acquisition in the company's history, structured across two absolute triple net master leases with approximately 10 years of term remaining and 2% annual rent escalations. The portfolio boasts unit-level coverage over 6x and an average basis of $2.6 million per property, aligning with FCPT's investment philosophy.

    04

    Portfolio Performance & Darden Lease Renewals

    The portfolio maintained strong performance with 99.5% occupancy and 99.7% base rent collection for Q2. Rent coverage for the majority of the portfolio was 5.2x, with Darden properties specifically at 6.0x, improving over time⏳. The first tranche of original Darden spin properties is due to send extension notices by October 2026 for Q4 2027 maturities, with management expecting a very high renewal percentage given strong store performance and coverage.

    05

    Monthly Dividend Initiative

    FCPT announced a switch to a monthly dividend, with the first payment scheduled for August. This move is intended to align the timing of📎 rent payments from tenants with distributions to shareholders, reflecting confidence in stable rent receipts from its portfolio. The company believes this change will better match the income preferences of many retail investors and is consistent with its focus on shareholder alignment and predictable cash flow generation.

    06

    Exploration of New Subsectors

    The company is actively exploring potential investments in new subsectors such as grocery and industrial outdoor storage. These sectors align with FCPT's investment criteria, including mission-critical properties, reasonable basis, large tenants, and accretive pricing. Initial investments, such as a drilling tools international property, demonstrate the company's strategy to expand its opportunity set and build domain expertise while maintaining its disciplined underwriting approach.
