NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
BUSINESS
Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. (the “Company” or “PINE”) is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that owns and operates a high-quality portfolio of commercial net lease properties. The terms “us,” “we,” “our,” and “the Company” as used in this report refer to Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. together with our consolidated subsidiaries.
Our income property portfolio consists of 128 net leased properties located in 34 states. The properties in our portfolio are primarily subject to long-term, net leases, which generally require the tenant to pay directly or reimburse us for property operating expenses such as real estate taxes, insurance, assessments and other governmental fees, utilities, repairs and maintenance and certain capital expenditures. The Company may also acquire or originate commercial loans and investments. Our investments in commercial loans are generally secured by real estate or the borrower’s pledge of its ownership interest in an entity that owns real estate. As more fully described in Note 4, “Commercial Loans and Investments,” the three Tampa Properties (defined in Note 4 below), which were purchased during the year ended December 31, 2024 through a sale-leaseback transaction that includes a tenant repurchase option are, for GAAP purposes, accounted for as a financing arrangement. However, because the Tampa Properties constitute real estate assets for both legal and tax purposes, we include the Tampa Properties in the property portfolio when describing our property portfolio and for purposes of providing statistics related thereto.
The Company operates in two primary business segments: income properties and commercial loans and investments.
The Company has no employees and is externally managed by Alpine Income Property Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of CTO Realty Growth, Inc. (our “Manager”). CTO Realty Growth, Inc. (NYSE: CTO) is a Maryland corporation that is a publicly traded REIT and the sole member of our Manager (“CTO”). All of our executive officers also serve as executive officers of CTO, and one of our executive officers and directors, John P. Albright, also serves as an executive officer and director of CTO.
ORGANIZATION
The Company is a Maryland corporation that was formed on August 19, 2019. On November 26, 2019, the Company closed its initial public offering (“IPO”). We are externally managed by our Manager and conduct the substantial majority of our operations through Alpine Income Property OP, LP (the “Operating Partnership”). Our wholly owned subsidiary, Alpine Income Property GP, LLC (“PINE GP”), is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. Substantially all of our assets are held by, and our operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership. As of September 30, 2025, we have a total ownership interest in the Operating Partnership of 92.0%, with CTO holding, directly and indirectly, an 8.0% ownership interest in the Operating Partnership. Our interest in the Operating Partnership generally entitles us to share in cash distributions from, and in the profits and losses of, the Operating Partnership in proportion to our percentage ownership. We, through PINE GP, generally have the exclusive power under the partnership agreement to manage and conduct the business and affairs of the Operating Partnership, subject to certain approval and voting rights of the limited partners. Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) oversees our business and affairs.
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of the Company’s annual REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain, to its stockholders (which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles). As a REIT, the Company is generally not subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax to the extent of its distributions to stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants the Company relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect the Company’s net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to state and local taxes on its income and property and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and other entities in which we have a controlling interest. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
SEGMENT REPORTING
Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards related to the manner in which enterprises report operating segment information. The Company operates in two primary business segments including income properties and commercial loans and investments, as further discussed within Note 21, “Business Segment Data”. The Company has no other reportable segments. The Company’s chief executive officer, who is the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), reviews financial information on a disaggregated basis for purposes of allocating and evaluating financial performance.
USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Among other factors, fluctuating market conditions that can exist in the national real estate markets and the volatility and uncertainty in the financial and credit markets make it possible that the estimates and assumptions, most notably those related to PINE’s investment in properties, could change materially due to continued volatility in the real estate and financial markets, or as a result of a significant dislocation in those markets.
REAL ESTATE
The Company’s real estate assets are comprised of the properties in its portfolio, and are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation, amortization, and impairment losses, if any. Such properties are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Renewals and betterments are capitalized to the applicable property accounts. The cost of maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred. The cost of property retired or otherwise disposed of, and the related accumulated depreciation or amortization, are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recorded in the statement of operations. The amount of depreciation of real estate, exclusive of amortization related to intangible assets, recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, was $4.5 million and $4.2 million, respectively. The amount of depreciation of real estate, exclusive of amortization related to intangible assets, recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, was $14.0 million and $12.7 million, respectively.
11
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment, in conducting its impairment analyses. The Company reviews the recoverability of long-lived assets, primarily real estate, and real estate held for sale, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Examples of situations considered to be triggering events include: a substantial decline in operating cash flows during the period, a current or projected loss from operations, a property not fully leased or leased at rates that are less than current market rates, and any other quantitative or qualitative events deemed significant by management. Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment by using an undiscounted cash flow approach, which considers future estimated capital expenditures. Impairment of long-lived assets is measured at the difference of carrying value and fair value less cost to sell.
PURCHASE ACCOUNTING FOR ACQUISITIONS OF REAL ESTATE SUBJECT TO A LEASE
Investments in real estate are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation, amortization, and impairment losses, if any. The cost of investments in real estate reflects their purchase price or development cost. We evaluate each acquisition transaction to determine whether the acquired asset meets the definition of a business. Under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, an acquisition does not qualify as a business when there is no substantive process acquired or substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets or the acquisition does not include a substantive process in the form of an acquired workforce or an acquired contract that cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort or delay. Transaction costs related to acquisitions that are asset acquisitions are capitalized as part of the cost basis of the acquired assets, while transaction costs for acquisitions that are deemed to be acquisitions of a business are expensed as incurred. Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life or improve the productive capacity of the asset. Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
In accordance with FASB guidance, the fair value of the real estate acquired with in-place leases is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, the value of in-place leases, and the value of leasing costs, based in each case on their relative fair values. In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded as other assets or liabilities based on the present value. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. The capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial term unless management believes the lease includes bargain renewal options that are likely to be exercised, in which case the Company includes such renewal periods in the amortization period utilized. The Company considers both qualitative and quantitative factors in considering if a lease contains a bargain renewal option and the likelihood of a tenant exercising such option. The value of in-place leases and leasing costs are amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be written off.
ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
Investments in real estate which are determined to be “held for sale” pursuant to FASB Topic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment are reported separately on the consolidated balance sheets at the lesser of carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell. Real estate investments classified as held for sale are not depreciated.
SALES OF REAL ESTATE
When properties are disposed of, the related cost basis of the real estate, intangible lease assets, and intangible lease liabilities, net of accumulated depreciation and/or amortization, and any accrued straight-line rental income balance for the underlying operating leases are removed, and gains or losses from the dispositions are reflected in net income within gains on dispositions of assets. In accordance with the FASB guidance, gains or losses on sales of real estate are generally recognized using the full accrual method.
12
PROPERTY LEASE REVENUE
The rental arrangements associated with the Company’s property portfolio are classified as operating leases. The Company recognizes lease income on these properties on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Accordingly, contractual lease payment increases are recognized evenly over the term of the lease. The periodic difference between lease income recognized under this method and contractual lease payment terms (i.e., straight-line rent) is recorded as a deferred operating lease receivable and is included in straight-line rent adjustment on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s leases provide for reimbursement from tenants for variable lease payments including common area maintenance, insurance, real estate taxes and other operating expenses. A portion of our variable lease payment revenue is estimated each period and is recognized as rental income in the period the recoverable costs are incurred and accrued.
The collectability of tenant receivables and straight-line rent adjustments is determined based on, among other things, the aging of the tenant receivable, management’s evaluation of credit risk associated with the tenant and industry of the tenant, and a review of specifically identified accounts using judgment. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
COMMERCIAL LOANS AND INVESTMENTS
Investments in commercial loans and investments held for investment are recorded at historical cost, net of unaccreted origination costs and current expected credit losses (“CECL”) reserve.
Pursuant to ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, the Company measures and records a provision for CECL each time a new investment is made, or a loan is repaid, as well as if changes to estimates occur during a quarterly measurement period. We are unable to use historical data to estimate expected credit losses as we have incurred no losses to date. Management utilizes a loss-rate method and considers macroeconomic factors to estimate its CECL allowance, which is calculated based on the amortized cost basis of the commercial loans.
Sales of participations in commercial loans and investments are evaluated for achievement of the characteristics of participating interest pursuant to ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing. If the sale of a participation has all of the characteristics of a participating interest, it achieves sale accounting, and the commercial loan or investment is presented net of the participating interest. If the sale of a participation does not have all of the characteristics of a participating interest, it does not achieve sale accounting and is treated as a secured borrowing. As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s participation in commercial loans and investments purchased by a third-party, did not achieve sale accounting and has been presented as an Obligation under Participation Agreement within the liabilities portion of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The participation in commercial loans and investments had been repaid with no remaining outstanding balance as of September 30, 2025.
RECOGNITION OF INTEREST INCOME FROM COMMERCIAL LOANS AND INVESTMENTS
Interest income on commercial loans and investments includes interest payments made by the borrower and the accretion of loan origination fees, offset by the amortization of loan costs, if any. Interest payments are accrued based on the actual coupon rate and the outstanding principal balance and purchase discounts and loan origination fees are accreted into income using the effective yield method, adjusted for prepayments.
OPERATING LAND LEASE EXPENSE
The Company is the lessee under operating land leases for certain of its properties, which leases are classified as operating leases pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases. The corresponding lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and is included in real estate expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
13
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank demand accounts, and money market accounts having original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company’s bank balances as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 include certain amounts over the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents is reported at Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy, which represents valuation based upon quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
RESTRICTED CASH
Restricted cash totaled $5.5 million as of September 30, 2025, all of which is being held in interest, real estate tax, insurance, and/or capital expenditure reserve accounts related to the Company’s portfolio of commercial loans and investments.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITY
The Company accounts for its cash flow hedging derivatives in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815-20, Derivatives and Hedging. Depending upon the hedge’s value at each balance sheet date, the derivatives are included in either other assets or accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at its fair value. On the date each interest rate swap was entered into, the Company designated the derivatives as a hedge of the variability of cash flows to be paid related to the recognized long-term debt liabilities.
The Company documented the relationship between the hedging instruments and the hedged item, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transactions. At the hedges’ inception, the Company assessed whether the derivatives that are used in hedging the transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged items and will continue to do so on a quarterly basis.
Changes in fair value of the hedging instruments that are highly effective and designated and qualified as cash-flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income and loss, until earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the designated hedged items (see Note 14, “Interest Rate Swaps”).
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable included in other assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the Credit Facility, hereinafter defined, approximates current market rates for revolving credit arrangements with similar risks and maturities. The Company estimates the fair value of its commercial loans and investments and term loans based on incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements with the same remaining maturity and on the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made for other debt. The discount rate used to calculate the fair value of debt approximates current lending rates for loans and assumes the debt is outstanding through maturity. Since such amounts are estimates that are based on limited available market information for similar transactions, which is a Level 2 non-recurring measurement, there can be no assurance that the disclosed value of any financial instrument could be realized by immediate settlement of the instrument.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company’s estimates of fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities is based on the framework established by GAAP. The framework specifies a hierarchy of valuation inputs which was established to increase consistency, clarity and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. GAAP describes a fair value hierarchy based upon three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, two of which are considered observable and one that is considered unobservable. The following describes the three levels:
EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is determined based on the assumption that the OP Units issued are redeemed for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis.
INCOME TAXES
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Code. We believe the Company has been organized and has operated in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the U.S. federal income tax laws. The Company intends to continue to operate in such a manner. As a REIT, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal and state income taxation at corporate rates on its net taxable income; the Company, however, may claim a deduction for the amount of dividends paid to its stockholders. Amounts distributed as dividends by the Company will be subject to taxation at the stockholder level only. While the Company must distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain, to qualify as a REIT, the Company intends to distribute all of its net taxable income. The Company is allowed certain other non-cash deductions or adjustments, such as depreciation expense, when computing its REIT taxable income and distribution requirement. These deductions permit the Company to reduce its dividend payout requirement under U.S. federal income tax laws. Certain states may impose minimum franchise taxes. The Company may form one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”), which will be subject to applicable U.S. federal, state and local corporate income tax on their taxable income. For the periods presented, the Company did not have any TRSs that would be subject to taxation.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Certain individual tenants in the Company’s portfolio of properties accounted for more than 10% of lease income from the Company’s income properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Lowe’s and Dick’s Sporting Goods each accounted for 11% of lease income revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Walgreens accounted for 11% of lease income revenue.
As of September 30, 2025, 12% of the Company’s income property portfolio, based on square footage, was located in the state of Texas. As of December 31, 2024, 11% of the Company’s income property portfolio, based on square footage, was located in each of the states of New Jersey and Michigan.

NOTE 3. PROPERTY PORTFOLIO
As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s income property portfolio consisted of 128 properties, including three properties classified as commercial loans and investments, with total square footage of 4.1 million.
Leasing revenue consists of long-term rental revenue from net leased commercial properties, which is recognized as earned, using the straight-line method over the life of each lease. Lease payments below include straight-line base rental revenue as well as the non-cash accretion of above and below market lease amortization. The variable lease payments are comprised of percentage rent payments and reimbursements from tenants for common area maintenance, insurance, real estate taxes, and other operating expenses.

2025 Activity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company acquired five properties for an aggregate purchase price of $60.8 million, or a cost of $61.1 million including capitalized acquisition costs. The properties are located in five different states, leased to four different tenants, and had a weighted average remaining lease term of 13.6 years at the time of acquisition. Of the total acquisition cost, $24.3 million was allocated to land, $28.8 million was allocated to buildings and improvements, and $8.0 million was allocated to intangible assets pertaining to the in-place lease value, leasing fees, and above market lease value. The weighted average amortization period for the intangible assets was 13.6 years at acquisition.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company sold 11 properties for an aggregate sales price of $34.3 million, generating aggregate gains on sale of $2.0 million.
2024 Activity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company acquired six properties for a combined purchase price of $53.1 million, or a cost of $53.2 million including capitalized acquisition costs. The properties are located in four different states, leased to three different tenants, and had a weighted average remaining lease term of 21.7 years at the time of acquisition. Of the total acquisition cost, $5.7 million was allocated to land, $15.0 million was allocated to buildings and improvements, $2.0 million was allocated to intangible assets pertaining to the in-place lease value, leasing fees, and above market lease value, and $0.9 million was allocated to intangible liabilities for the below market lease value. The weighted average amortization period for the intangible assets and liabilities was 4.8 years at acquisition. The
16
remaining $31.4 million of acquisition costs is attributable to the three Tampa Properties (defined in Note 4 below), which were purchased during the three months ended September 30, 2024 through a sale-leaseback transaction that includes a tenant repurchase option. Due to the tenant repurchase option, and pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases, GAAP requires that the $31.4 million investment be accounted for as a financing arrangement, and accordingly the related assets and corresponding revenue are included in the Company’s commercial loans and investments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statement of operations. However, because the Tampa Properties constitute real estate assets for both legal and tax purposes, we include the Tampa Properties in the property portfolio when describing our property portfolio and for purposes of providing statistics related thereto.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company sold 10 properties for an aggregate sales price of $55.2 million, generating aggregate gains on sale of $4.3 million.
NOTE 4. COMMERCIAL LOANS AND INVESTMENTS
2025 Activity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company originated six commercial loans for an investment volume of $56.3 million at a weighted average initial cash yield of 10.1% and one, $2.0 million short-term mortgage note with an initial cash yield of 16.5%, that was originated on June 5, 2025 and repaid in full on July 2, 2025. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company amended four existing commercial loan investments whereby certain maturity dates were extended and three loan investments total face amounts were upsized by an aggregate of $18.4 million. In the aggregate, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, commercial loan and investment volume for new loan originations totaled $74.8 million, of which $51.0 million was funded and $0.5 million of origination fees were received during the same period. Additionally, the Company funded $12.9 million for existing construction loans and received $50.5 million of principal repayments from borrowers during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
2024 Activity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company originated three commercial loans for an investment volume of $31.1 million at a weighted average initial cash yield of 10.7%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company funded a total of $53.2 million to borrowers (inclusive of the $31.4 million investment in the Tampa Properties, hereinafter defined) and received $0.2 million of origination fees. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company received $14.3 million of principal repayments from borrowers.
Other Activity. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company acquired three single-tenant income properties (the “Tampa Properties”) in the greater Tampa Bay, Florida area, which acquisition was structured as a sale-leaseback transaction whereby the Company entered into three new 30-year lease agreements which include annual base rent escalations and a repurchase right by the tenant upon completion of the fifth lease year, i.e., on August 1, 2029. Pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases, the future repurchase rights present in the lease agreements preclude the transaction from being accounted for as a real estate acquisition. Accordingly, for GAAP purposes, the acquisition of the Tampa Properties is accounted for as a financing arrangement, and the related assets and corresponding revenue are included in the Company’s commercial loans and investments on its consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations. The Company has imputed interest on the 30-year leases which is recognized as interest income from commercial loans and investments on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company originated a $24.0 million first mortgage secured by a portfolio of assets and related improvements (the “Mortgage Note”). The Mortgage Note is being repaid by the borrower as the underlying assets within the portfolio are sold. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold a $13.6 million A-1 participation interest (the “Loan Participation Sale”) in its Mortgage Note, which is entitled to an 8.0% yield on its respective portion of the outstanding principal balance and has priority preference with respect to all principal and interest payments of the Mortgage Note. This sale did not achieve sale accounting pursuant to ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, and accordingly, is treated as a secured borrowing. See Note 12, “Obligation Under Participation Agreement” for further information. As of September 30, 2025, the obligation under participation agreement had been fully repaid. Accordingly, the Company’s remaining investment in the Mortgage Note is $3.9 million as of September 30, 2025.

NOTE 7. PROVISION FOR IMPAIRMENT
Income Properties. The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The fair value of long-lived assets required to be assessed for impairment is determined on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. These Level 3 inputs may include, but are not limited to, letters of intent on specific properties, executed purchase and sale agreements on specific properties, third person valuations, discounted cash flow models, and other model-based techniques.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded $1.9 million and $6.6 million of impairment charges, respectively, as provision for losses with respect to certain properties within the Company’s income properties segment. The impairment charges are a result of the execution during the respective periods of letters of intent and/or purchase and sale agreements under which the contemplated sales price, less the carrying value of the respective assets, less estimated costs to sell result in an impairment. The impairments during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 are related to the following properties: (i) three convenience store properties, which are classified as held for sale; (ii) a property formerly leased to Party City; (iii) a property leased to At Home; (iv) a property formerly leased to Century Theater Center; and (v) three properties leased to Walgreens. Two of the three properties leased to Walgreens were classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2025, and subsequently sold during the three months ended June 30, 2025. One of the convenience store properties classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2025 and the property formerly leased to Century Theater Center were sold during the three months ended September 30, 2025. The Company’s execution of the above-referenced letters of intent and/or purchase and sale agreements are consistent with the Company’s current intent to dispose of such properties at a price less than their carrying values to facilitate the re-investment of the proceeds therefrom into new investment opportunities.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a $0.6 million impairment charge representing the provision for losses related to three assets within the Company’s income properties segment, which were classified as held for sale. None of the impairment charges were incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2024. The impairment charge of $0.6 million is equal to the estimated sales prices for these three assets pursuant to a letter of intent for sale executed during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, less the carrying value of the assets as of September 30, 2024, less estimated costs to sell.
Commercial Loans and Investments. The Company evaluates the collectability of its commercial loans and investments on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company accounts for provisions for expected credit losses in accordance with ASC Topic 326, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. Changes in the Company’s allowance for credit losses are presented within the provision for impairment in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded charges of less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, representing the provision for credit losses related to our commercial loans and investments. The impairment charges were driven by the initial estimated CECL allowance based on our investment activity as well as loan repayments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. We are unable to use historical data to estimate expected credit losses as we have incurred no losses to date. Management utilizes a loss-rate method and considers macroeconomic factors to estimate its CECL allowance, which is calculated based on the amortized cost basis of the commercial loans.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded charges of $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, representing the provision for credit losses related to our commercial loans and investments. The impairment charges were driven by the initial estimated CECL allowance based on our investment activity during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

NOTE 9. OPERATING LAND LEASES
The Company is the lessee under operating land leases for certain of its properties. FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases, requires a lessee to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities that arise from leases, whether qualifying as an operating or finance lease. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s right-of-use assets totaled $3.1 million and $3.2 million, respectively, and the corresponding lease liabilities totaled $3.1 million and $3.2 million, respectively, which balances are reflected within other assets and accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets. The right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are measured based on the present value of the lease payments utilizing discount rates estimated to be equal to that which the Company would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term, for an amount equal to the lease payments, in a similar economic environment.
The Company’s operating land leases do not include variable lease payments and generally provide renewal options, at the Company’s election, to extend the terms of the respective leases. Renewal option periods are included in the calculation of the right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain that the Company, as lessee, will exercise the option to extend the lease.
Amortization of right-of-use assets for operating land leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and is included within real estate expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Amortization totaled less than $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Amortization totaled $0.1 million during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

NOTE 12. OBLIGATION UNDER PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT
As discussed in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” the Company follows the guidance in FASB Topic ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing when accounting for participation in commercial loans and investments. ASC 860 states, if the sale of a participation does not have all of the characteristics of a participating interest, it does not achieve sale accounting and is treated as a secured borrowing and accordingly, the original commercial loan investment remains on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and the proceeds are recorded as an obligation under participation agreement. As described in Note 4, “Commercial Loans and Investments”, the Company’s Loan Participation Sale for $13.6 million at an 8.0% interest rate did not achieve sale accounting. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had fully repaid the obligation under participation agreement. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s obligation under participation agreement had a face value of $11.4 million, and the carrying value of the loan that is associated with this obligation under participation agreement was $11.3 million, net of a CECL reserve of $0.1 million.

The use of interest rate swap agreements carries risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these agreements are not able to perform. To mitigate this risk, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements with counterparties with high credit ratings and with major financial institutions with which the Company and its affiliates may also have other financial relationships. The Company does not currently anticipate that any of the counterparties to the Company’s interest rate swap agreements will fail to meet their obligations. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no events of default related to the Company's interest rate swap agreements.

NONCONTROLLING INTEREST
As of September 30, 2025, CTO holds, directly and indirectly, an 8.0% noncontrolling ownership interest in the Operating Partnership as a result of 1,223,854 OP Units issued to CTO and its wholly owned subsidiaries at the time of the Company’s IPO.
DIVIDENDS
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Code. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must annually distribute, at a minimum, an amount equal to 90% of its taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and must distribute 100% of its taxable income (including net capital gains) to eliminate U.S. federal corporate income taxes payable by the Company. Because taxable income differs from cash flow from operations due to non-cash revenues and expenses (such as depreciation and other items), in certain circumstances, the Company may generate operating cash flow in excess of its dividends, or alternatively, may need to make dividend payments in excess of operating cash flows. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company declared and paid cash dividends on its common stock and OP Units of $0.855 and $0.830 per share, respectively.
28
NOTE 16. COMMON STOCK AND EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is determined based on the assumption that the OP Units are redeemed for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis.
The following is a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per common share (in thousands, except share and per share data):

NOTE 18. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Under the Company’s non-employee director compensation policy, each non-employee member of the Board receives a portion of their annual retainer fee in shares of Company common stock, and a portion in cash; and, with respect to the cash portion, each director may elect to receive such portion in shares of Company common stock rather than cash. The number of shares issued to the directors is calculated quarterly by dividing (i) the amount of the quarterly retainer fee payment due to such director by (ii) the 20-day trailing average closing price of the Company’s common stock as of the last business day of the quarter for which such payment applied, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the expense recognized for the value of the Company’s common stock received by non-employee directors totaled $0.3 million, or 18,554 shares, of which 5,806 shares were issued on April 1, 2025, 6,276 shares were issued on July 1, 2025, and 6,472 shares were issued on October 1, 2025.

NOTE 19. RELATED PARTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY
We are externally managed by the Manager, a wholly owned subsidiary of CTO. Subsequent to the IPO, through September 30, 2025, CTO has, directly and indirectly through a wholly owned subsidiary, purchased an aggregate of 431,912 shares of PINE common stock in the open market including (i) 109,081 shares purchased during the three and nine months ending September 30, 2025 for $1.6 million, or an average price per share of $14.24, (ii) 29,807 shares purchased during the year ended December 31, 2024 for $0.4 million, or an average price per share of $14.97, (iii) 129,271 shares purchased during the year ended December 31, 2023 for $2.1 million, or an average price per share of $16.21, (iv) 155,665 shares purchased during the year ended December 31, 2022 for $2.7 million, or an average price per share of $17.57 and (v) 8,088 shares purchased during the year ended December 31, 2021 for $0.1 million, or an average price per share of $17.65.
As of September 30, 2025, CTO owns, directly and indirectly through wholly owned subsidiaries, in the aggregate, 1,223,854 OP Units and 1,247,702 shares of PINE common stock, inclusive of (i) 394,737 shares of common stock totaling $7.5 million issued in connection with a private placement that closed concurrently with the IPO, (ii) 421,053 shares of common stock totaling $8.0 million issued in connection with the IPO, and (iii) 431,912 shares of common stock totaling $7.0 million purchased by CTO, directly and indirectly through a wholly owned subsidiary, subsequent to the IPO. The aggregate 1,223,854 OP Units and 1,247,702 shares of PINE common stock held by CTO represent an investment totaling $35.0 million, or 16.1% of PINE’s outstanding equity, as of September 30, 2025.
Management Agreement
On November 26, 2019, the Operating Partnership and PINE entered into a management agreement with the Manager (the “Management Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, our Manager manages, operates, and administers our day-to-day operations, business and affairs, subject to the direction and supervision of the Board and in accordance with the investment guidelines approved and monitored by the Board. We pay our Manager a base management fee equal to 0.375% per quarter of our “total equity” (as defined in the Management Agreement and based on a 1.5% annual rate), calculated and payable in cash, quarterly in arrears.
Our Manager has the ability to earn an annual incentive fee based on our total stockholder return exceeding an 8% cumulative annual hurdle rate (the “Outperformance Amount”) subject to a high-water mark price. We would pay our Manager an incentive fee with respect to each annual measurement period in the amount of the greater of (i) $0.00 and (ii) the product of (a) 15% multiplied by (b) the Outperformance Amount multiplied by (c) the weighted average shares. No incentive fee was due for the year ended December 31, 2024.
30
On July 18, 2024, the Operating Partnership and PINE entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Management Agreement with the Manager. The Amendment extended the expiration date of the initial term of the Management Agreement from November 26, 2024 to January 31, 2025, and on that date the term of the agreement automatically renewed for a one-year term. The current term of the agreement expires on January 31, 2026 and will automatically renew for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods thereafter, unless the agreement is not renewed or is terminated in accordance with its terms.
Our independent directors review our Manager’s performance and the management fees annually, and the Management Agreement may be terminated annually upon the affirmative vote of two-thirds of our independent directors or upon a determination by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock, based upon (i) unsatisfactory performance by the Manager that is materially detrimental to us or (ii) a determination that the management fees payable to our Manager are not fair, subject to our Manager’s right to prevent such termination due to unfair fees by accepting a reduction of management fees agreed to by two-thirds of our independent directors. We may also terminate the Management Agreement for cause at any time, without the payment of any termination fee, with 30 days’ prior written notice from the Board.
We pay directly or reimburse our Manager for certain expenses, if incurred by our Manager. We do not reimburse any compensation expenses incurred by our Manager or its affiliates. Expense reimbursements to our Manager are made in cash on a quarterly basis following the end of each quarter. In addition, we pay all of our operating expenses, except those specifically required to be borne by our Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement.
The Company incurred management fee expenses totaling $1.1 million and $3.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. The Company also paid dividends on the common stock and OP Units owned by affiliates of the Manager in the amount of $0.7 million and $2.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. The Company incurred management fee expenses totaling $1.1 million and $3.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The Company also paid dividends on the common stock and OP Units owned by affiliates of the Manager in the amount of $0.7 million and $1.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

ROFO Agreement
On November 26, 2019, PINE also entered into an Exclusivity and Right of First Offer Agreement with CTO (the “ROFO Agreement”). During the term of the ROFO Agreement, CTO will not, and will cause each of its affiliates (which for purposes of the ROFO Agreement will not include our company and our subsidiaries) not to, acquire, directly or indirectly, a single-tenant, net leased property, unless CTO has notified us of the opportunity and we have affirmatively rejected the opportunity to acquire the applicable property or properties.
The terms of the ROFO Agreement do not restrict CTO or any of its affiliates from providing financing for a third party’s acquisition of single-tenant, net leased properties or from developing and owning any single-tenant, net leased property.
31
Pursuant to the ROFO Agreement, neither CTO nor any of its affiliates (which for purposes of the ROFO Agreement does not include our company and our subsidiaries) may sell to any third party any single-tenant, net leased property that was owned by CTO or any of its affiliates as of the closing date of the IPO or that is developed and owned by CTO or any of its affiliates after the closing date of the IPO, without first offering us the right to purchase such property.
The term of the ROFO Agreement will continue for so long as the Management Agreement with our Manager is in effect.
On April 6, 2021, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with a certain subsidiary of CTO for the purchase of one net lease property for $11.5 million. The acquisition was completed on April 23, 2021.
On April 2, 2021, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with certain subsidiaries of CTO for the purchase of six net lease properties (the “CMBS Portfolio”). The terms of the purchase and sale agreement, as amended on April 20, 2021, provided a total purchase price of $44.5 million for the CMBS Portfolio. The acquisition of the CMBS Portfolio was completed on June 30, 2021.
On January 5, 2022, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with a certain subsidiary of CTO for the purchase of one net lease property for $6.9 million. The acquisition was completed on January 7, 2022.
The entry into these purchase and sale agreements, and subsequent completion of the related acquisitions, are a result of the Company exercising its right to purchase the aforementioned properties under the ROFO Agreement.
Conflicts of Interest
Conflicts of interest may exist or could arise in the future with CTO and its affiliates, including our Manager, the individuals who serve as our executive officers and executive officers of CTO, any individual who serves as a director of our company and as a director of CTO and any limited partner of the Operating Partnership. Conflicts may include, without limitation: conflicts arising from the enforcement of agreements between us and CTO or our Manager; conflicts in the amount of time that executive officers and employees of CTO, who are provided to us through our Manager, will spend on our affairs versus CTO’s affairs; and conflicts in future transactions that we may pursue with CTO and its affiliates. We do not generally expect to enter into joint ventures with CTO, but if we do so, the terms and conditions of our joint venture investment will be subject to the approval of a majority of disinterested directors of the Board.
In addition, we are subject to conflicts of interest arising out of our relationships with our Manager. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, our Manager is obligated to supply us with our senior management team. However, our Manager is not obligated to dedicate any specific CTO personnel exclusively to us, nor are the CTO personnel provided to us by our Manager obligated to dedicate any specific portion of their time to the management of our business. Additionally, our Manager is a wholly owned subsidiary of CTO. All of our executive officers are executive officers and employees of CTO and one of our officers (John P. Albright) is also a member of CTO’s board of directors. As a result, our Manager and the CTO personnel it provides to us may have conflicts between their duties to us and their duties to, and interests in, CTO.
We may acquire, sell, or finance net leased properties that would potentially fit the investment criteria for our Manager or its affiliates. Similarly, our Manager or its affiliates may acquire, sell, or finance net leased properties that would potentially fit our investment criteria. Although such acquisitions or dispositions could present conflicts of interest, we nonetheless may pursue and consummate such transactions. Additionally, we may engage in transactions directly with our Manager or its affiliates, including the purchase and sale of all or a portion of a portfolio of assets. If we acquire a net leased property from CTO or one of its affiliates or sell a net leased property to CTO or one of its affiliates, the purchase price we pay to CTO or one of its affiliates or the purchase price paid to us by CTO or one of its affiliates may be higher or lower, respectively, than the purchase price that would have been paid to or by us if the transaction were the result of arm’s length negotiations with an unaffiliated third party.
32
In deciding whether to issue additional debt or equity securities, we will rely, in part, on recommendations made by our Manager. While such decisions are subject to the approval of the Board, our Manager is entitled to be paid a base management fee that is based on our “total equity” (as defined in the Management Agreement). As a result, our Manager may have an incentive to recommend that we issue additional equity securities at dilutive prices.
All of our executive officers are executive officers and employees of CTO. These individuals and other CTO personnel provided to us through our Manager devote as much time to us as our Manager deems appropriate. However, our executive officers and other CTO personnel provided to us through our Manager may have conflicts in allocating their time and services between us, on the one hand, and CTO and its affiliates, on the other. During a period of prolonged economic weakness or another economic downturn affecting the real estate industry or at other times when we need focused support and assistance from our Manager and the CTO executive officers and other personnel provided to us through our Manager, we may not receive the necessary support and assistance we require or that we would otherwise receive if we were self-managed.
Additionally, the ROFO Agreement does contain exceptions to CTO’s exclusivity for opportunities that include only an incidental interest in single-tenant, net leased properties. Accordingly, the ROFO Agreement will not prevent CTO from pursuing certain acquisition opportunities that otherwise satisfy our then-current investment criteria.
Our directors and executive officers have duties to our company under applicable Maryland law in connection with their management of our company. At the same time, PINE GP has fiduciary duties, as the general partner, to the Operating Partnership and to the limited partners under Delaware law in connection with the management of the Operating Partnership. These duties as a general partner to the Operating Partnership and its partners may come into conflict with the duties of our directors and executive officers to us. Unless otherwise provided for in the relevant partnership agreement, Delaware law generally requires a general partner of a Delaware limited partnership to adhere to fiduciary duty standards under which it owes its limited partners the highest duties of loyalty and care and which generally prohibits such general partner from taking any action or engaging in any transaction as to which it has a conflict of interest. The partnership agreement provides that in the event of a conflict between the interests of our stockholders on the one hand and the limited partners of the Operating Partnership on the other hand, PINE GP will endeavor in good faith to resolve the conflict in a manner not adverse to either our stockholders or the limited partners; provided, however, that so long as we own a controlling interest in the Operating Partnership, any such conflict that we, in our sole and absolute discretion, determine cannot be resolved in a manner not adverse to either our stockholders or the limited partners of the Operating Partnership shall be resolved in favor of our stockholders, and we shall not be liable for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived by the limited partners in connection with such decisions.
Revenue Sharing Agreement
On December 4, 2023, CTO entered into an asset management agreement directly with the borrower under the Mortgage Note (as described in Note 4, “Commercial Loans and Investments”) to manage the portfolio of assets secured by the Mortgage Note. The Company entered into a revenue sharing agreement with CTO whereby the Company receives a share of the asset management fees, disposition management fees, leasing commissions, and other fees related to CTO’s management and administration of the portfolio (the “Revenue Sharing Agreement”). The Company’s share of the fees under the Revenue Sharing Agreement is based on fees earned by CTO associated with the single tenant properties within the portfolio.
The Company recognized $0.1 million and $0.3 million of revenue pursuant to the Revenue Sharing Agreement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, which is included in other revenue on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognized $0.1 million and $0.4 million of revenue pursuant to the Revenue Sharing Agreement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, which is included in other revenue on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Some of the comments we make in this section are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. For a discussion of forward-looking statements, see the section below entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Certain factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those the Company anticipates or projects are described in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and in “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). The words “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “will,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “forecast,” “project,” and similar expressions and variations thereof identify certain of such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they were made. Forward-looking statements are made based upon management’s expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect upon the Company. There can be no assurance that future developments will be in accordance with management’s expectations or that the effect of future developments on the Company will be those anticipated by management.
Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the strength of the real estate market; the impact of a recession or downturn in economic conditions; our ability to successfully execute acquisition or development strategies; credit risk associated with us investing in commercial loans and investments; any loss of key management personnel; changes in local, regional, national and global economic conditions affecting the real estate development business and properties, including unstable macroeconomic conditions due to, among other things, geopolitical conflicts, inflation, higher interest rates, and tariffs and international trade policies; the impact of competitive real estate activity; the loss of any major property tenants; the ultimate geographic spread, severity and duration of pandemics, actions that may be taken by governmental authorities to contain or address the impact of such pandemics, and the potential negative impacts of such pandemics on the global economy and our financial condition and results of operations; and the availability of capital. These risks and uncertainties may cause our actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements.
See “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion of these risks, as well as additional risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those described in the Company’s forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW
Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. is a Maryland corporation that conducts its operations so as to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Substantially all of our operations are conducted through our Operating Partnership.
We seek to acquire, own and operate primarily freestanding, commercial retail real estate properties located in the United States primarily leased pursuant to long-term net leases. We target tenants in industries that we believe are favorably impacted by macroeconomic trends that support consumer spending, stable and growing employment, and positive consumer sentiment, as well as tenants in industries that have demonstrated resistance to the impact of the e-commerce retail sector or who use a physical presence as a component of their omnichannel strategy. We also seek to invest in properties that are net leased to tenants that we believe have attractive credit characteristics, stable operating histories, healthy rent coverage levels, are well-located within their respective markets and/or have rents at-or-below market rent levels. Furthermore, we believe that the size of our company allows us, for at least the near term, to focus our investment activities on the acquisition of single properties or smaller portfolios of properties that represent a transaction size that most of our publicly-traded net lease REIT peers will not pursue on a consistent basis.
Our strategy for investing in income-producing properties is focused on factors including, but not limited to, long-term real estate fundamentals, including those markets experiencing significant economic growth. We employ a methodology for evaluating targeted investments in income-producing properties which includes an evaluation of: (i) the attributes of the real estate (e.g., location, market demographics, comparable properties in the market, etc.); (ii) an evaluation of the existing tenant(s) (e.g., credit-worthiness, property level sales, tenant rent levels compared to the market, etc.); (iii) other market-specific conditions (e.g., tenant industry, job and population growth in the market, local economy, etc.); and (iv) considerations relating to the Company’s business and strategy (e.g., strategic fit of the asset type, property management needs, alignment with the Company’s structure, etc.).
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company acquired five properties for an aggregate purchase price of $60.8 million, or a cost of $61.1 million including capitalized acquisition costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company sold 11 properties for an aggregate sales price of $34.3 million, generating aggregate gains on sale of $2.0 million.
As of September 30, 2025, we owned 128 properties, including the three properties classified as commercial loans and investments, with an aggregate gross leasable area of 4.1 million square feet, located in 34 states, with a weighted average remaining lease term of 8.7 years. Our portfolio was 99% occupied as of September 30, 2025.
We also acquire or originate commercial loans and investments associated with commercial real estate located in the United States. Our investments in commercial loans are generally secured by real estate or the borrower’s pledge of its ownership interest in an entity that owns real estate. As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s commercial loan investments portfolio had a total carrying value of $102.8 million and was comprised of five construction loans, six mortgage notes, and three properties acquired pursuant to a sale-leaseback transaction whereby the tenant has a future repurchase right.
The Company has no employees and is externally managed by Alpine Income Property Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of CTO (our “Manager”). CTO is a Maryland corporation that is a publicly traded diversified REIT and the sole member of our Manager.

Lease Income and Real Estate Expenses
Revenue from our property operations totaled $12.1 million and $11.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $0.4 million increase in lease income is primarily attributable to an increase in rents due to the volume of property acquisitions versus dispositions. The direct costs of revenues for our income properties totaled $1.9 million and $1.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Interest income from commercial loans and investments totaled $2.3 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $0.6 million increase in income is attributable to the expanded portfolio of commercial loans and investments which, as of September 30, 2025, was comprised of five construction loans, six mortgage notes, and three properties acquired pursuant to a sale-leaseback transaction whereby the tenant has a future repurchase right. As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s portfolio of commercial loans and investments was comprised of five construction loans, one mortgage note, and three properties acquired pursuant to a sale-leaseback transaction whereby the tenant has a future repurchase right.
Other revenue totaled $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The revenue is attributable to fees earned from a revenue sharing agreement the Company entered into with CTO as further described in Note 19, “Related Party Management Company” in the Notes to the Financial Statements.

(8.0%)
General and administrative expenses totaled $1.7 million and $1.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $0.1 million decrease is primarily the result of decreases in corporate legal and consulting fees.
As further described in Note 7, “Provision for Impairment,” during the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded a $1.9 million impairment charge representing the provision for losses related to a certain income property, for which the Company’s current intent is to dispose of such property in order to facilitate the re-investment of the proceeds therefrom into new investment opportunities, and a $0.1 million adjustment to the provision for impairment representing the reduction in current expected credit losses (“CECL”) reserve related to our commercial loans and investments due to the decrease in principal outstanding as compared to June 30, 2025. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a $0.4 million impairment charge which represents the increase in the CECL reserve related to our commercial loans and investments.
Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $6.6 million and $6.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $0.3 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense is reflective of the increase in asset cost basis of the Company’s income property portfolio.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company sold three properties for an aggregate sales price of $6.2 million, generating an aggregate loss on sale of less than $0.1 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company sold eight properties for an aggregate sales price of $48.6 million, generating aggregate gains on sale of $3.4 million.
Investment and other income was relatively flat and totaled $0.1 million during each of the three month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
43
Interest expense totaled $3.9 million and $3.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $0.7 million increase in interest expense is attributable to the higher average outstanding balance on the Company’s Credit Facility as well as an increase in the fixed interest for the 2027 Term Loan effective in November of 2024. The overall increase in the Company’s long-term debt was primarily utilized to fund the acquisition of properties and commercial loans and investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Net loss totaled $1.4 million and net income totaled $3.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $4.8 million decrease in net income is attributable to the factors described above, most notably the $3.5 million decrease of gains on sales of properties, the $1.5 million increase in provision for impairment, as well as the $0.7 million increase in interest expense, which is partially offset by the $1.1 million increase in total revenues.

Revenue from our property operations totaled $36.0 million and $34.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The direct costs of revenues for our income properties totaled $6.0 million and $5.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $0.4 million increase in the direct cost of revenues is reflective of increased reimbursable expenses.
Interest income from commercial loans and investments totaled $7.4 million and $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $3.8 million increase in income is attributable to the expanded portfolio of commercial loans and investments which, as of September 30, 2025, was comprised of five construction loans, six mortgage notes, and three properties acquired pursuant to a sale-leaseback transaction whereby the tenant has a future repurchase right. As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s portfolio of commercial loans and investments was comprised of five construction loans, one mortgage note, and three properties acquired pursuant to a sale-leaseback transaction whereby the tenant has a future repurchase right.
Other revenue totaled $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The revenue is attributable to fees earned from a revenue sharing agreement the Company entered into with CTO as further described in Note 19, “Related Party Management Company” in the Notes to the Financial Statements. The $0.1 million decrease is attributable to leasing commissions earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

General and administrative expenses totaled $5.1 million and $5.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $0.1 million increase is primarily the result of increases in the management fee and director compensation, partially offset by a decrease in corporate legal and consulting fees.
As further described in Note 7, “Provision for Impairment”, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded a $6.6 million impairment charge representing the provision for losses related to certain income properties, for which the Company’s current intent is to dispose of such properties in order to facilitate the re-investment of the proceeds therefrom into new investment opportunities, and a $0.1 million impairment charge which represents the change in our CECL reserve related to our commercial loans and investments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a $0.6 million impairment charge representing the provision for losses related to our income properties, and a $0.5 million impairment charge which represents the change in our CECL reserve related to our commercial loans and investments.
45
Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $20.6 million and $19.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Investment and other income was relatively flat and totaled $0.2 million during each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
Interest expense totaled $11.8 million and $8.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $2.9 million increase in interest expense is attributable to the higher average outstanding balance on the Company’s Credit Facility as well as increase in the fixed interest for the 2027 Term Loan effective in November of 2024. The overall increase in the Company’s long-term debt was primarily utilized to fund the acquisition of properties and commercial loans and investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Net loss totaled $4.5 million and net income totaled $3.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $7.8 million decrease in net income is attributable to the factors described above, most notably the $5.6 million increase in provision for impairment, the $2.3 million decrease in gains on sale of properties, and an additional $2.9 million increase in interest expense, partially offset by the $5.2 million increase in total revenues.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash totaled $6.6 million as of September 30, 2025, including restricted cash of $5.5 million. See Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” under the heading Restricted Cash for the Company’s disclosure related to its restricted cash balance as of September 30, 2025.

We believe we will have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations, capital requirements, maintenance, and debt service requirements over the next twelve months and into the foreseeable future, with cash on hand, cash flow from our operations, proceeds from the completion of the sale of assets utilizing the reverse like-kind 1031 exchange structure, $90.4 million of availability remaining under the 2022 ATM Program, and $60.2 million of available capacity on the existing $250.0 million Credit Facility.
The Board and management consistently review the allocation of capital with the goal of providing the best long-term return for our stockholders. These reviews consider various alternatives, including increasing or decreasing regular dividends, repurchasing the Company’s securities, and retaining funds for reinvestment. Annually, the Board reviews our business plan and corporate strategies, and makes adjustments as circumstances warrant. Management’s focus is to continue our strategy of investing in net leased properties by utilizing the capital we raise and available borrowing capacity from the Credit Facility to increase our portfolio of income-producing properties, providing stabilized cash flows with strong risk-adjusted returns primarily in larger metropolitan areas and growth markets.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our reported results are presented in accordance with GAAP. We also disclose FFO and AFFO, both of which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these two non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they are widely accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs.
FFO and AFFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements; accordingly, they should not be considered alternatives to net income or loss or as a performance measure or cash flows from operations as reported on our statement of cash flows as a liquidity measure and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures.
We compute FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude real estate related depreciation and amortization, as well as extraordinary items (as defined by GAAP) such as net gain or loss from sales of depreciable real estate assets, impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate assets and impairments associated with the implementation of current expected credit losses on commercial loans and investments at the time of origination, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries. To derive AFFO, we further modify the NAREIT computation of FFO to include other adjustments to GAAP net income or loss related to non-cash revenues and expenses such as loss on extinguishment of debt, amortization of above- and below-market lease related intangibles, straight-line rental revenue, amortization of deferred financing costs, non-cash compensation, and other non-cash adjustments to income or expense. Such items may cause short-term fluctuations in net income or loss but have no impact on operating cash flows or long-term operating performance. We use AFFO as one measure of our performance when we formulate corporate goals.
FFO is used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers primarily because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains or losses on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. We believe that AFFO is an additional useful supplemental measure for investors to consider because it will help them to better assess our operating performance without the distortions created by other non-cash revenues or expenses. FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Critical accounting estimates include those estimates made in accordance with GAAP that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. Our most significant estimate is as follows:
Purchase Accounting for Acquisitions of Real Estate Subject to a Lease. As required by GAAP, the fair value of the real estate acquired with in-place leases is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, the value of in-place leases, and the value of leasing costs, based in each case on their relative fair values. In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded as other assets or liabilities based on the present value. The assumptions underlying the allocation of relative fair values are based on market information including, but not limited to: (i) the estimate of replacement cost of improvements under the cost approach, (ii) the estimate of land values based on comparable sales under the sales comparison approach, and (iii) the estimate of future benefits determined by either a reasonable rate of return over a single year’s net cash flow, or a forecast of net cash flows projected over a reasonable investment horizon under the income capitalization approach. The underlying assumptions are subject to uncertainty and thus any changes to the allocation of fair value to each of the various line items within the Company’s consolidated balance sheets could have an impact on the Company’s financial condition as well as results of operations due to resulting changes in depreciation and amortization as a result of the fair value allocation. The acquisitions of real estate subject to this estimate totaled five properties for an aggregate purchase price of $60.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, for further discussion of the Company’s accounting estimates and policies.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. As a result, pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation, as required by Rules 13(a)-15 and 15(d)-15 of the Exchange Act was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The following risk factor should be read in conjunction with the risk factors set forth under the heading Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Form 10-K”). The risks described in the Form 10-K and below are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company.
Global trade disruption, significant introductions of trade barriers and bilateral trade frictions, together with any future downturns in the global economy resulting therefrom, could adversely affect our performance.
Political leaders in the U.S. and certain foreign countries have recently been elected on protectionist platforms, fueling doubts about the future of global free trade. The U.S. government has indicated its intent to alter its approach to international trade policy and in some cases to renegotiate certain existing trade agreements with foreign countries. In addition, the U.S. government has recently imposed tariffs on certain foreign goods and has indicated a willingness to impose tariffs on imports of other products. Some foreign governments, including China, have instituted retaliatory tariffs on certain U.S. goods and have indicated a willingness to impose additional tariffs on U.S. products. Global trade disruption, significant introductions of trade barriers and bilateral trade frictions, together with any future downturns in the global economy resulting therefrom, could adversely affect our performance.

Recent Tax Law Changes
On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the legislation known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”). The OBBBA made significant changes to the U.S. federal income tax law that impact REITs and their investors. Specifically, the OBBBA increases the REIT asset test limitation on the value of taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) securities a REIT may hold from 20% to 25% for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025. As a result, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025, the aggregate value of all securities of TRSs held by a REIT may not exceed 25% of the value of its total assets. The OBBBA also makes permanent the 20% deduction for “qualified REIT dividends” (i.e., REIT dividends other than capital gain dividends and portions of REIT dividends designated as qualified dividend income) for individuals, trusts, and estates that was set to sunset for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025. In addition, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024, the OBBBA restored the exclusion of deductions for depreciation, depletion and amortization in the calculation of a taxpayer’s “adjusted taxable income” for purposes of calculating the limitation on the taxpayer’s net interest expense deduction, which was previously in effect for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2022. This change will generally have the effect of increasing the available deduction.
