FCPT Announces Second Quarter 2020 Financial and Operating Results and COVID-19 Update

Four Corners Property Trust, Inc. (("FCPT" or the "Company", NYSE:FCPT) today announced financial results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2020.

Management Comments

"We are very pleased with our second quarter results and our team's ongoing ability to perform at a high level during the pandemic," said CEO Bill Lenehan. "We have had very high levels of rent collection in the second quarter with 92% of contractual base rent collected to date, and that has improved further in July with 99% of contractual base rent collected. We reached agreements with a handful of tenants to defer or abate second quarter rent in return for lease amendments which we believe are ultimately beneficial to us and create long-term shareholder value. We are maintaining a disciplined approach to our balance sheet, and in June, returned to the acquisition market by re-activating the pipeline focused on properties with strong tenants and attractive locations."

Covid-19 Rent Collections Update

As of July 29, 2020, the Company has received April, May and June rent payments measuring approximately 95%, 90% and 91%, respectively, of its portfolio's contractual base rent for those months, which equates to approximately 92% collected for the quarter as a whole. In addition, to date the Company has agreed to defer approximately 3% of contractual base rent for the second quarter. As of July 29, 2020, the Company has agreed or expects to agree to abate rents equal to approximately 4% of its contractual base rent for the second quarter.

In addition, as of July 29, 2020, the Company has received July rent payments measuring over 99% of its portfolio contractual annual base rent for the month of July 2020.

Financial Results

Rental Revenue and Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders

GAAP requires revenue recognition for the abated rent in the current period. Upon execution of any such amendment, the receivable for the abated rent will be recognized as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction to rental revenue over the future lease term.
