Does the company have any excess preferred capacity for issuance?

The company is not considering any more preferred stock issuance at this time. “We're really not considering doing any more preferred at this time.”

What is the outlook for the current 1.3% vacancy, particularly regarding signed but not commenced leases or new tenants?

The company is actively engaged with all properties with leases expiring in the next 24 months. Austin office occupancy will be north of 95% going forward. Industrial occupancy is 99.8% and will reach 100% by year-end. Four properties in 2026 and eleven in 2027 are being actively worked on, with only one office building (2027 maturity) causing concern. “Our office occupancy is going to be north of 95 here going forward for a period of time. Our industrial is 99.8, which we do have one lease there that will bring it to 100% occupancy at the end of the year.”

What was the amount of the termination fee recognized on the North Carolina disposition?

The termination fee was $1.9 million, recognized as a one-time event in the current quarter. “I believe that was $1.9 million.”

Executive summary

Gladstone Commercial Q2 FY26 — Strategic Capital Recycling and Industrial Focus Drive FFO Growth

Gladstone Commercial delivered a strong Q2 FY26, marked by strategic capital recycling and a continued pivot towards industrial assets. The company successfully executed accretive acquisitions and dispositions without issuing new equity, driving FFO growth and maintaining high occupancy. Management remains focused on increasing industrial concentration and optimizing the existing portfolio, while navigating a challenging office market.

Highlights

FFO and Core FFO per share increased to $0.38, up from $0.33 and $0.35 respectively YoY.
Portfolio occupancy maintained at 98.7% with a Weighted Average Lease Term (WALT) of over 7.1 years.
Industrial concentration increased to 69% of annualized straight-line rent, nearing the 70% goal.
Acquired 153,890 sq ft industrial property for $22.75M using internally generated cash flow.
Same-store lease revenue increased by 1.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Concerns

Common stock price is not attractive for new equity issuances, limiting capital raising options.
Office leasing and re-leasing requires CapEx, with generally less attractive returns than industrial properties.
One office building in Florida is a concern for maturity at the end of 2027, requiring aggressive action.

Q&A highlights

How will the company fund future acquisitions given the current unattractive stock price for equity issuance?

The company intends to continue capital recycling (selling assets and redeploying proceeds). Equity issuance would only be considered if an acquisition is accretive at the prevailing stock price. They will also invest in existing properties to increase revenues.

“If we have a potential acquisition that is accretive at the stock price, wherever we are, we would we'd consider selling stock at that price to make that acquisition.”

Detailed narrative

Strategic Capital Recycling and Industrial Focus

Gladstone Commercial continued its strategic capital recycling efforts, acquiring a 153,890 sq ft industrial property in Newport News, Virginia, for $22.75 million. This acquisition was funded by the sale of a 161,458 sq ft industrial building in Monroe, North Carolina, to its tenant, Assa Abloy.

The company noted the Newport News acquisition nearly doubled the cash and straight-line rents from the disposed asset, contributing to an increased industrial concentration of 69% of annualized straight-line rent, moving closer to its 70% near-term goal.

Portfolio Optimization and Leasing Activity

The company maintained a strong portfolio occupancy of 98.7% as of June 30, 2026, with a Weighted Average Lease Term (WALT) of over 7.1 years. During the quarter, Gladstone renewed or leased over 126,000 sq ft of office/retail space and over 34,000 sq ft of industrial space, resulting in an annual straight-line rent increase of $169,500.

Subsequent to quarter-end, 82,000 sq ft on the second floor of the Austin, Texas office property was leased, which is expected to bring that building's occupancy to over 90%.

Industrial Market Conditions

Management highlighted improving industrial market conditions, citing Cushman & Wakefield data. Net absorption rose 21% quarter-over-quarter to 62.1 million sq ft, bringing year-to-date absorption to 113.6 million sq ft, the strongest since 2023. National vacancy declined 10 basis points to 6.9%, and asking rents rose 2.9% year-over-year.

Demand remains concentrated in modern large-format buildings, supported by on-shoring and supply chain optimization, with built-to-suit projects keeping speculative supply in check.

Office Portfolio Strategy

Gladstone Commercial is not looking to grow its office portfolio but strategically manages existing assets. While acknowledging that office returns are generally less attractive than industrial, the company evaluates re-leasing opportunities on a case-by-case basis, targeting CapEx payback periods of six to nine months.

They are exploring quiet sales of office properties to redeploy capital into industrial assets, aiming to maximize value from these non-core holdings.

Financial Performance and Liquidity

FFO and Core FFO per share for Q2 FY26 were both $0.38, up from $0.33 and $0.35 respectively in Q2 FY25. Total operating revenues reached $44 million, compared to $39.5 million in the prior year, driven by portfolio growth, increased recovery revenues, higher rental rates, and a one-time $1.9 million termination fee.

The company reported $8.4 million in cash and $68.8 million of available capacity under its line of credit, providing liquidity for capital requirements and new acquisitions, despite the current common stock price not being attractive for new equity issuances.
