EPR Properties

Hello, and welcome to the EPR Properties Q2 2026 earnings call. We ask that you please hold all questions until the completion of the formal remarks at which time you'll be given instructions for the question and answer session. Also, as a reminder, this conference is being recorded today. If you have any objections, please disconnect at this time. I will now hand the call over to Brian Moriarty, Senior Vice President of Corporate Communications.

Thank you. Thanks for joining us today for our second quarter 2026 earnings call and webcast. Participants on today's call are Greg Silvers, Chairman and CEO, Ben Fox, Executive Vice President and CIO, and Mark Peterson, Executive Vice President and CFO. I'll start the call by informing you that this call may include forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 identified by such words as will be, intend, continue, believe, may expect, hope, anticipate, or other comparable terms. Companies' actual financial condition and the results of operations may vary materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Discussion of these factors that could cause results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements are contained in the company's SEC filings, including the company's reports on Form 10-K, and TenQ. Additionally, this call will contain references to certain non-GAAP measures which we believe are useful in evaluating the company's performance. A reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in today's earnings release and supplemental information furnished to the SEC under Form 8-K. If you wish to follow along, today's earnings release, supplemental, and earnings call presentation are all available on the Investor Center page of the company's website, www.eprkc.com. Now I'll turn the call over to Greg Silvers.

Thank you, Brian. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to our second quarter 2026 earnings call and webcast. Over the last several quarters, we've highlighted our focus on accelerating growth. And the second quarter marked a significant step forward in executing that strategy. For the quarter, revenue increased 10.1% and FFO as adjusted per share increased 12.7% compared with the same period in 2025. These results demonstrate the strength of our platform and the continued momentum we are building across the business. On the investments front, we set a new post-COVID high for investment activity in a single quarter, totaling more than $440 million. In addition to our previously announced acquisition of the Six Flags Seven Property portfolio, we further diversified our experiential portfolio with additional investments in attractions and fitness and wellness. As part of these investments, we are pleased to welcome Netflix as a new partner through our acquisition of Netflix House in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. These properties allow Netflix to deepen customer connections by transforming popular digital intellectual property into physical immersive experiences. This level of investment spending reflects both the depth of our opportunity set and our disciplined approach to deploying capital into durable experiential assets. It also reinforces our confidence in the portfolio's long-term growth trajectory as we move through the balance of the year. Turning to our portfolio, tenant performance remains solid as we maintain coverage of two times across the portfolio. The box office is up approximately 10% year to date, driven by a compelling mix of major studio tentpole releases and lower budget breakout films that have broadened attendance and reinforced the enduring appeal of the shared theatrical experience. Notably, titles such as Backrooms and Obsessions, both from filmmakers who built early audiences on YouTube, demonstrate how new creator-driven voices are expanding the theatrical audience and generating outsized box office results. Outside of theaters, fitness and wellness continues to be resilient as consumers increasingly treat it as a protected, non-discretionary category. Our Eat and Play tenants are also reporting steady, healthy trends. We also continue to strengthen our financial position, establishing a new $1.6 billion credit agreement that addresses our maturities later this year and ensures our balance sheet remains a source of strength in support of the pace of our investment growth. With that, I'm also pleased to report that we're increasing both our 2026 investment spending and earnings guidance. At the midpoint, our updated unearnings guidance represents a 7.2% increase over 2025. We believe this underscores our confidence in the durability of our growth. Finally, I want to note that this summer offered an extraordinary reminder of the power of congregate entertainment. The FIFA World Cup, the largest in history, shattered the all-time attendance record as millions of fans traveled across North America and spent at record levels, not for a thing, but to be present for a moment. This is the same consumer impulse that is at the heart of our business, the demand for shared, location-based experiences that cannot be replicated at home. We built this company around that enduring demand, and this summer afforded a powerful reminder of its continued relevance. Now I'll turn the call over to Ben, who will review the business in greater detail.
