Rising Operating Expenses: 2. Increased Operating Expenses: The company anticipates a larger operating expense load in the second half of the year, particularly in Q4, which could negatively impact profitability despite current revenue growth.
Construction Cost Challenges: 3. High Construction Costs: The ongoing high construction costs are limiting the viability of new development projects, forcing the company to focus on acquisitions rather than greenfield developments, which may hinder growth opportunities.
Hurricane Operational Disruption: 4. Hurricane Impact: Although the company reported minor physical impacts from Hurricanes Helene and Milton, the temporary closure of the Asheville Center could have disrupted operations and affected revenue during that period.
Debt Management Challenges: 5. Leverage Concerns: While the company reported a net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 5 times, they aim to maintain a target range of 5 to 6 times, indicating potential concerns about financial flexibility and risk as they pursue growth.
