FCPT Announces Second Quarter 2019 Financial and Operating Results
MILL VALLEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Four Corners Property Trust, Inc. (“FCPT” or the “Company”, NYSE: FCPT) today announced financial results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2019.
Management Comments
“During the second quarter, we continued to make accretive acquisitions of quality restaurant properties that benefit from low rental rates and a high percentage of corporate operators,” said Bill Lenehan. “Last week, we also announced a $38 million follow-on acquisition with Washington Prime Group (WPG) for 12 restaurant properties and 8 properties operating in other retail sectors. We are enthusiastic to announce our first entry into the non-restaurant, retail net-lease space and look forward to continuing to build on the relationship with WPG. These non-restaurant outparcels share similar qualities as our current restaurant assets and will be great additions as we continue on the path to diversify our portfolio.”
Financial Results
Rental Revenue and Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders
