NewLake Capital Partners, Inc. NLCP released its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023, revealing revenue of $11.4 million, a decrease of 6.8% compared to $12.2 million in the prior quarter, and an increase of 12.3% compared to $10.2 million in Q1 2022.
On a sequential basis, total revenue decrease is mainly attributable to one non-performing tenant that failed to pay contractual rent under its lease agreement in the first quarter of 2023. The company held a security deposit of approximately three months of contractual rent, and in the first quarter of 2023, applied 25%, or $315,000, of the security deposit towards the outstanding rent. The company continues to monitor the situation and is in discussions with the tenant to negotiate a resolution, which might include rent deferrals or other concessions.

-
Net income attributable to common stockholders totaled $5.9 million, as compared to $6.7 million in the previous quarter and $5 million in Q1 2022.

Our team acquired a Missouri property for expansion of an existing facility and took the opportunity to enhance shareholder value by repurchasing nearly 50,000 shares of our common stock at an attractive valuation.”
