Negative
FFO and AFFO Contraction: The company anticipates a contraction of approximately 4% in FFO and AFFO, primarily due to lower interest income and higher interest expenses.
Core Operations Performance: Despite a 6.5% increase in net operating income, the same asset NOI growth for the total portfolio was only 2.2%, indicating sluggish performance in core operations.
Rising Net Interest Expense: The anticipated net interest expense is expected to rise in 2025 as a result of 2024 acquisitions and lower capitalized interest, which could pressure profitability.
Debt to EBITDA Target: The company is targeting a net debt to EBITDA ratio below 10 times by the end of 2025, but a temporary increase is expected in Q1 2025 due to recent acquisitions.
