Note 7 – Income Taxes

The Company had previously elected to be taxed as a REIT as defined under Section 856(a) of the Code for federal income tax purposes upon formation and through December 31, 2021. On March 31, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Trustees unanimously approved a plan to terminate the Company’s REIT status and become a taxable C Corporation, effective for the year ended December 31, 2022. As a result, the Company is no longer required to operate under REIT rules, including the requirement to distribute at least 90% of REIT taxable income to its stockholders, which provides the Company with greater flexibility to use its free cash flow. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company is subject to federal, state and local income taxes on its taxable income at applicable tax rates and is no longer entitled to a tax deduction for dividends paid. The Company operated as a REIT since inception and through the 2021 tax year, and existing REIT requirements and limitations, including those established by the Company’s organizational documents, remained in place until December 31, 2021.

As a result of the Company’s revocation of its REIT status in fiscal year 2022, the Company incurred a one-time, non-cash deferred tax benefit of approximately $161.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. As a result of ongoing operations and sales activity, the Company recognized a deferred tax benefit of $26.5 million and $29.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance of $254.4 million and $227.9 million, respectively, against the deferred tax asset (the “DTA”) pursuant to ASC 740 as discussed in more detail below. While the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its DTAs due to the uncertainty that it will be able to utilize them, if the Company is able to sell assets at prices above its tax basis, the DTAs will be utilized to offset any taxes due on those gains to the extent of the DTAs.

A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes to the amount computed by applying the 21% statutory U.S. federal income tax rate to income before income taxes after the adoption of ASU 2023-09 is as follows:

The Company’s effective tax rate of 0% differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% in 2025 and 2024 primarily due to the placement of a valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets.

The significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets of $254.4 million and $227.9 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, consist of book to tax basis differences, net operating losses, and carryover net operating losses. As discussed below, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The total deferred tax assets and liabilities are comprised of the following (in thousands):

Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria. ASC 740 states that deferred tax assets shall be reduced by a valuation allowance if there is insufficient objectively verifiable evidence to support that it is more likely than not that they will be realized. This evaluation requires significant judgment which should be weighted commensurate with the extent to which the evidence can be objectively verified. Additionally, under ASC 740, forming a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed is difficult when there is negative evidence such as cumulative losses in recent years. Given the Company’s history of cumulative losses combined with the fact that the Company’s utilization of deferred tax assets is highly dependent on the outcome of the review of a broad range of strategic alternatives announced by its Board of Trustees and the uncertainty in timing and volume of future property sales, we have deemed that their realization, at this time, cannot be objectively verified. The Company has therefore recorded a full valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company will evaluate this position each quarter as verifiable positive evidence becomes available, such as the execution of asset sales, to support the future utilization of the deferred tax assets.
