• Management identifies the current quarter as a pivotal point, transitioning from a heavy development phase to a focus on leasing 1 million square feet of newly delivered industrial space.

• The net loss in the period was primarily driven by the deployment of cash into projects, which reduced interest income, and higher G&A expenses following the Altman acquisition.

• Industrial underperformance was attributed to the loss of a major lease in Jacksonville and the carry costs associated with the Chelsea warehouse remaining in lease-up.

• Multifamily performance in the D.C. market faced significant headwinds from new supply, resulting in lower occupancy and increased concessions, while the Greenville, South Carolina market remained stable.

• A new disciplined leasing approach was implemented, utilizing real-time data analytics and AI to improve broker relationships and accelerate tenant engagement velocity.

• Management is diversifying the portfolio geographically into Florida and New Jersey to reduce dependence on the traditional Maryland footprint and capture varied sources of tenant demand.

• The long-term strategic vision is to build an industrial operating portfolio that generates the majority of the company's recurring earnings, supported by mining and multifamily cash flows.

Stabilization Targets and Capital Allocation Framework

• Management projects a potential $50 million in annual pro rata NOI at full stabilization, which would represent an approximately 40% increase over the current 2026 forecast.

• The 2026 NOI forecast of $35.8 million accounts for temporary pressure from property operating costs and taxes on newly completed buildings ahead of full rent commencement.

• The company plans to invest approximately $57 million through 2028, with $36 million dedicated to maintaining and developing the industrial portfolio and pipeline.

• Financial planning is centered on maintaining a capital cushion to address $166 million in debt maturities over the next 24 months and a $20.5 million tax liability in 2027.

• Future industrial developments are being evaluated against a minimum return-on-cost threshold of 7% to 7.25%, aiming for a 200-plus basis point spread over the 5-year Treasury.

Operational Headwinds and Structural Costs

• The Altman acquisition added approximately $3 million in G&A expenses due to the personnel required to manage current and future growth plans.

• A $20.5 million Opportunity Zone tax liability coming due in 2027 is a primary factor in the company's current decision to prioritize liquidity over share repurchases.

• Management expects approximately $7.1 million in FFO pressure in 2027 from interest and operating costs related to the Lakeland, Davie, and Camp Lake projects before leasing offsets.

• Mining royalties provided a critical offset to development costs, generating $12 million through nine months and providing financial flexibility through the development cycle.
