PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Orion Properties Inc. (NYSE: ONL) (“Orion” or the “Company”), a fully-integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) which owns a diversified portfolio of single-tenant net lease office properties including dedicated use assets located across the United States, announced today its operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.



Paul McDowell, Orion’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “With approximately 673,000 square feet of leasing completed through the end of July, we continue to execute on our strategy to further stabilize the portfolio as we build on our leasing momentum the past couple years. At the same time, we advanced our disposition program, closing on two property sales and the 37.4 acre Deerfield, Illinois campus for $70.6 million during the quarter. In concert with these sales, we reduced debt during the quarter by $60.7 million bringing our Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDA to 5.4x. These efforts and the raising of our 2026 financial outlook reflect the tangible progress we’re making toward our target of driving sustainable Core FFO per share growth over time. We remain committed to maximizing value for our stockholders and continue to closely evaluate strategic options as our review process is ongoing.”

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Overview

  • Total revenues of $34.3 million
    • Net income attributable to common stockholders of $24.6 million, or
    • $0.43 per basic share
  • $0.42 per diluted share
  • Funds from Operations (“FFO”) of $9.2 million, or $0.16 per diluted share
  • Core FFO of $11.8 million, or $0.20 per diluted share
  • EBITDA of $45.5 million, EBITDAre of $16.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $17.2 million

Financial Results
During the second quarter of 2026, the Company generated total revenues of $34.3 million, as compared to $37.3 million in the same quarter of 2025. The Company’s net income attributable to common stockholders was $24.6 million, or $0.43 and $0.42 per basic and diluted share, respectively, during the second quarter of 2026, as compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $(25.1) million, or $(0.45) per basic and diluted share in the same quarter of 2025. The increase in the Company’s net income during the second quarter was primarily driven by an increase in gains on dispositions of real estate assets of $27.9 million and a decrease in impairment charges of $19.5 million, each versus the same quarter of the prior year. Core FFO for the second quarter of 2026 was $11.8 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, as compared to $11.5 million, or $0.20 per diluted share in the same quarter of 2025.

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company completed a new 10.5-year lease for approximately 19,000 square feet at its property in Plano, Texas, a new 10.6-year lease for approximately 28,000 square feet at its property in Tulsa, Oklahoma and a 3.0-year lease renewal for 69,000 square feet at its property in Salem, Oregon.

Disposition Activity
During the second quarter of 2026, the Company closed on the sale of two Operating Properties and the 37.4 acre Deerfield, Illinois campus for an aggregate gross sales price of $70.6 million. The two Operating Properties comprise a total of approximately 260,000 square feet for an aggregate gross sales price of $57.5 million. No building square footage is associated with the Deerfield, Illinois properties because we demolished the six buildings during the fourth quarter of 2025.

As of August 6, 2026, the Company has an agreement in place to sell one property currently leased to the United States Government for a gross sales price of $3.4 million. The Company’s pending sale agreement is subject to a variety of conditions outside of our control, such as the buyer’s satisfactory completion of its due diligence and therefore, it cannot provide any assurance the transaction will close on the agreed upon price or other terms, or at all.

Acquisition Activity
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company acquired the fee simple interest in one parcel of land at a property located in Lincoln, Nebraska. The Company’s ownership interest of this property was previously comprised of a long-term ground lease interest. The gross purchase price for the fee interest was $0.6 million, which includes capitalized external acquisition-related expenses. As a result of the transaction, $2.1 million that was previously classified as a below-market right-of-use asset, net was reclassified from other assets, net to land in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2026.

Real Estate Portfolio
As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s real estate portfolio consisted of 57 Operating Properties. Annualized Base Rent was $108.0 million, with 69.1% of Annualized Base Rent derived from Investment-Grade Tenants and 38.7% derived from properties deemed to be Dedicated Use Assets, or DUAs. The Company’s Occupancy Rate was 78.1% and the Weighted Average Remaining Lease Term was 6.2 years.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had principal outstanding of $436.6 million, comprised of:

  • $316.6 million securitized mortgage loan (the “CMBS Loan”)
  • $102.0 million under the Company’s credit facility revolver
  • $18.0 million mortgage loan secured by the Company’s San Ramon, California property (the “San Ramon Loan”)

During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company reduced debt obligations by $60.7 million, including $35.7 million on the CMBS Loan.

The Company’s maximum borrowing capacity under the credit facility revolver is $215.0 million and amounts borrowed by the Company may be prepaid and re-borrowed from time to time. The Company’s outstanding borrowings under the credit facility revolver bear interest at a floating rate of SOFR plus a margin of 2.75% and the maturity date is February 18, 2028, subject to two six-month borrower extension options until February 18, 2029 if we satisfy certain conditions. The credit facility revolver is a senior secured fully recourse borrowing facility.

The interest rate on the CMBS Loan is fixed at 4.971% and the CMBS Loan is scheduled to mature on February 11, 2029, subject to two borrower extension options for a total of 18 months if certain conditions have been satisfied. Subject to customary exceptions, the CMBS Loan is a non-recourse loan and is secured by first-priority mortgages on 18 of the Company’s owned properties. During June 2026, the Company sold one property encumbered under the CMBS Loan and used the net proceeds of $34.4 million to prepay a portion of the outstanding principal balance on the CMBS Loan.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $176.5 million of liquidity, comprising $63.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as well as $113.0 million of available capacity on the Company’s credit facility revolver.

Dividend
On August 5, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.02 per share for the third quarter of 2026, payable on October 15, 2026, to stockholders of record as of September 30, 2026.

Strategic Option Review Process
On January 26, 2026, the Company announced a review of strategic options. The strategic options may include, among other things, the consideration of potential acquisition and merger targets, the potential sale of the Company, and continuing to operate as an independent publicly traded entity. As of August 6, 2026, the strategic options review process remains ongoing as we continue to actively engage with several parties. There can be no assurance that the strategic options review process will result in Orion pursuing any particular transaction or other strategic outcome. The Company has not set a timetable for completion of this process.

2026 Outlook
The Company is providing the following updated guidance estimates for 2026.

Improved 2026 Guidance

Core FFO per share

 

$0.69 - $0.76

The Company’s 2026 General and Administrative Expense guidance range of $19.8 million to $20.8 million is unchanged from the previous quarter.

The Company’s guidance is based on current plans and assumptions and subject to the risks and uncertainties more fully described in the Company’s filings with the SEC. The Company reminds investors that its guidance estimates include assumptions with regard to its shift in portfolio concentration towards more dedicated use assets, rent receipts and property operating expense reimbursements, the amount and timing of acquisitions, dispositions, leasing transactions, capital expenditures, interest rate fluctuations and expected borrowings, the cost of the Company’s ongoing strategic review process and other factors. These assumptions are uncertain and difficult to accurately predict and actual results may differ materially from our estimates. See “Forward-Looking Statements” below.

About the Data
This data and other information described herein are as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, unless otherwise indicated. Future performance may not be consistent with past performance and is subject to change and inherent risks and uncertainties. This information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations sections contained in Orion Properties Inc.'s (the "Company," "Orion," "us," "our" and "we") Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026 and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Unconsolidated Joint Venture

The Company owns a 20% equity interest in one Unconsolidated Joint Venture which, as of June 30, 2026, owned a portfolio of six properties with an aggregate of 1.0 million leasable square feet located in six states. All assets in the joint venture portfolio are performing and the portfolio has an Occupancy Rate of 100% with a Weighted Average Remaining Lease Term of 5.8 years as of June 30, 2026. The Company has also made a member loan to the Unconsolidated Joint Venture (the “Member Loan”) with an outstanding principal balance of $5.5 million as of June 30, 2026. As previously disclosed, the non-recourse mortgage notes associated with the Unconsolidated Joint Venture, which had an outstanding principal balance of $125.6 million as of August 6, 2026, experienced a payment default at maturity in February 2026. The lenders’ agent under the loan has issued a default notice and has informed the joint venture that it intends to seek to compel a sale of the properties in the joint venture in order to repay the loan. During June 2026, the lenders agreed to extend the loan maturity date until July 31, 2026, to provide the Unconsolidated Joint Venture with time to consummate the sale of one of the six properties, however the sale transaction was subsequently terminated and the loan went back into default on August 1, 2026. The lenders have implemented an excess cash flow sweep and as a result of the loan default, have various additional rights and remedies that are customary in a non-recourse mortgage financing, such as the right to collect default interest, institute a proceeding for foreclosure and apply for the appointment of a receiver. The joint venture has delivered a proposed disposition strategy to the lenders for the six properties and remains in discussions with the lenders about next steps which may include a short-term extension and the requirement to sell one or more properties and utilize the proceeds to repay principal outstanding under the debt. The Company cannot provide any assurance that the Unconsolidated Joint Venture will be able to extend or refinance all or any portion of this debt obligation, complete the disposition of the six properties on favorable terms or in a timely manner, or at all, or that the lenders will not seek to enforce their remedies due to the ongoing payment default.

Due to uncertainties with regard to the recovery of its investments in the Unconsolidated Joint Venture, the Company reduced the carrying value of its investment in the Unconsolidated Joint Venture to zero as of December 31, 2025, and has recorded a loan loss reserve for the entire outstanding principal balance of its Member Loan. The Company accounts for its investment in the Unconsolidated Joint Venture under the equity method of accounting and during the year ended December 31, 2025, its share of losses exceeded the carrying amount of its investment. Accordingly, the Company has suspended recognition of its share of additional losses and will resume recognizing its share of earnings only after the Unconsolidated Joint Venture generates net income that exceeds the previously recognized losses. The Company has not recognized any further losses in excess of its investment and no contingent liabilities have been recorded related to the Unconsolidated Joint Venture as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. Additionally, beginning January 1, 2026, the Company is recording management fees from the Unconsolidated Joint Venture and interest income on the Member Loan on a cash basis rather than an accrual basis.

Historically, the Company has included its proportionate share of the Unconsolidated Joint Venture's financial statement line items and operating metrics in its non-GAAP financial results and other operating metrics. This includes, among other line items and metrics, the Company’s proportionate share of Annualized Base Rent, Occupied Square Feet, Rentable Square Feet and Weighted Average Remaining Lease Term from the Unconsolidated Joint Venture properties, and Gross Real Estate Investments, outstanding principal balance under debt obligations, cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash from the Unconsolidated Joint Venture’s balance sheet. As a result of the factors described above, including the suspension of equity method accounting on the Unconsolidated Joint Venture, the full loan loss reserve recorded against its Member Loan and the recording of fees and interest income on a cash basis, beginning January 1, 2026, the Company no longer includes the proportionate share of the Unconsolidated Joint Venture’s financial statement line items and operating metrics in its non-GAAP financial results and other operating metrics.

Definitions

Annualized Base Rent ("ABR") is the monthly aggregate cash amount charged to tenants under our leases (including monthly base rent receivables and certain fixed contractually obligated reimbursements by our tenants), as of the final date of the applicable period, multiplied by 12. Annualized Base Rent is not indicative of future performance.

Dedicated Use Asset is a property that includes a substantial specialized use component such as government, medical, laboratory and research and development, and flex operations, and would therefore not be considered a traditional office property.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate ("EBITDAre") and Adjusted EBITDA
Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. ("Nareit"), an industry trade group, has promulgated a supplemental performance measure known as Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate. Nareit defines EBITDAre as net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, impairment write-downs on real estate and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity, gains or losses from disposition of real estate assets. For periods prior to January 1, 2026, we also adjust for our proportionate share of EBITDAre adjustments related to the Unconsolidated Joint Venture. We calculated EBITDAre in accordance with Nareit's definition described above.

In addition to EBITDAre, we use Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP supplemental performance measure to evaluate the operating performance of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the Company, represents EBITDAre, modified to exclude non-routine items such as transaction related expenses. We also exclude certain non-cash items such as impairments of intangible and right of use assets, gains or losses on derivatives, gains or losses on the extinguishment or forgiveness of debt, amortization of intangibles, above-market lease assets and deferred lease incentives, net of amortization of below-market lease liabilities and, for periods prior to January 1, 2026, our proportionate share of Adjusted EBITDA adjustments related to the Unconsolidated Joint Venture. Management believes that excluding these costs from EBITDAre provides investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with the performance models and analysis used by management, and provides investors a view of the performance of our portfolio over time. Therefore, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), as determined under GAAP. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as one measure of its operating performance when formulating corporate goals and evaluating the effectiveness of the Company's strategies. EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Funds Available for Distribution ("FAD")
Funds available for distribution, as defined by the Company, represents Core FFO, as defined below, modified to exclude capital expenditures and leasing costs, as well as certain non-cash items such as amortization of above market leases, net of amortization of below market lease liabilities, straight-line rental revenue, and, for periods prior to January 1, 2026, our proportionate share of FAD adjustments related to the Unconsolidated Joint Venture and amortization of the Unconsolidated Joint Venture basis difference. Management believes that adjusting these items from Core FFO provides investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with the performance models and analysis used by management and provides useful information regarding the Company's ability to fund its dividend.

However, not all REITs calculate FAD and those that do may not calculate FAD the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. FAD should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities as determined under GAAP.

Nareit Funds from Operations ("Nareit FFO" or "FFO") and Core Funds from Operations ("Core FFO")
Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, Nareit has promulgated a supplemental performance measure known as FFO, which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure to reflect the operating performance of the Company. FFO is not equivalent to our net income (loss) as determined under GAAP.

Nareit defines FFO as net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP adjusted for gains or losses from disposition of real estate assets, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, impairment write-downs on real estate and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. For periods prior to January 1, 2026, we also adjust for our proportionate share of FFO adjustments related to the Unconsolidated Joint Venture.
