Net Investment in Leases

Note 5—Net Investment in Leases

In June 2021, the Company acquired two parcels of land for $42.0 million each and simultaneously entered into two Ground Leases with the respective tenants. Each Ground Lease also provides for a leasehold improvement allowance up to a maximum of $83.0 million. The Company also concurrently entered into an agreement pursuant to which SAFE would acquire the Ground Leases from the Company. If certain construction conditions are not met within a specified time period, SAFE will have no obligation to acquire the Ground Leases or fund the leasehold improvement allowances. The Company classified one of the Ground Leases as a sales-type lease and it is recorded in “Net investment in leases” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. One Ground Lease was entered into with the seller of the land and did not qualify for sale leaseback accounting, and as such, was accounted for as a financing transaction and $42.0 million was recorded in “Loans receivable held for sale” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. There can be no assurance that the conditions to closing will be satisfied and that SAFE will acquire the properties and Ground Leases from the Company.

In May 2019, the Company entered into a transaction with an operator of bowling entertainment venues, consisting of the purchase of nine bowling centers for $56.7 million, of which seven were acquired from the lessee for $44.1 million, and a commitment to invest up to $55.0 million in additional bowling centers over the next several years. The new centers were added to the Company’s existing master leases with the tenant. In connection with this transaction, the maturities of the master leases were extended by 15 years to 2047. In the second quarter 2020, the Company entered into a transaction with the lessee whereby it would apply $10 million of the net proceeds it received from certain sales of the lessee’s facilities to the lessee’s upcoming rent obligations to the Company. In exchange, the Company’s obligation under the lease to

acquire an equal amount of new facilities for them or to reduce their rent in the future was terminated. In the third quarter 2020, the Company granted the lessee a nine-month rent deferral on its two wholly-owned master leases in exchange for eliminating the Company’s commitment to invest up to $55.0 million in additional bowling centers over the next several years. All deferred amounts are required to be repaid with interest beginning in January 2023.

As a result of the May 2019 modifications to the leases, the Company classified the leases as sales-type leases and recorded $424.1 million in “Net investment in leases” on its consolidated balance sheet. As a result of the modifications in the second and third quarter 2020, the Company reassessed this classification as required by ASC 842, and concluded that the leases should continue to be classified as sales-type leases. In May 2019, the Company determined that the seven bowling centers acquired did not qualify as a sale leaseback transaction and recorded $44.1 million in “Loans receivable and other lending investments, net” on its consolidated balance sheet (refer to Note 7).

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized $7.0 million and $7.3 million, respectively, of cash interest income and $2.5 million and $19.6 million, respectively, of non-cash interest income in “Interest income from sales-type leases” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized $1.5 million and $10.7 million, respectively, of cash interest income and $6.9 million and $14.3 million, respectively, of non-cash interest income in "Interest income from sales-type leases" in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

Dispositions—During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company sold net lease assets for net proceeds of $8.7 million and recognized an aggregate impairment of $2.3 million in connection with the sales.

(1)The Company recorded an initial allowance for losses on net investment in leases of $9.1 million upon the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020.
(2)During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a provision for (recovery of) losses on net investment in leases of $0.1 million and ($1.7) million, respectively. The provision for losses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 resulted from market changes since June 30, 2021 and the recovery of losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was due primarily to asset sales and an improving macroeconomic forecast on commercial real estate markets since December 31, 2020. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a provision for losses on net investment in leases of $0.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively, due primarily to the macroeconomic impact of COVID-19 on commercial real estate markets and the adoption of ASU 2016-13.
