Description: EPRT Essential Properties Realty
Essential Properties Realty Trust Inc (NYSE:EPRT) is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that specializes in acquiring and managing single-tenant properties across the United States, leasing them to middle-market companies on a long-term basis. As of December 31, 2021, the company had a portfolio of 1,451 properties, indicating a significant presence in the market.
The companys business model is focused on providing stable income through long-term leases to a diverse range of tenants, including restaurants, car washes, and healthcare services. With a diversified tenant base, EPRT is less reliant on any single industry or tenant, reducing potential risks. As a REIT, the company is required to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to shareholders, making it an attractive option for income-seeking investors.
From a performance perspective, key metrics to consider include the companys Funds From Operations (FFO) and Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO), which are crucial in evaluating REITs. FFO is a measure of a REITs operating performance, and AFFO further adjusts this metric for capital expenditures and other non-cash items. Analyzing EPRTs FFO and AFFO growth rates, as well as its dividend payout ratio, can provide insights into its financial health and ability to sustain dividend payments.
Additionally, the companys debt-to-equity ratio and interest coverage ratio are important KPIs to assess its capital structure and ability to meet its financial obligations. A reasonable debt-to-equity ratio and a healthy interest coverage ratio would indicate a stable financial position. Furthermore, examining EPRTs occupancy rates and lease expiration schedule can help investors understand the companys revenue stability and potential risks associated with lease rollovers.
