The top line grew 18.2% year-over-year, fueled in large part by a record post-COVID investment quarter totaling $440.82 million, headlined by the $304.40 million acquisition of seven attraction properties from Six Flags Entertainment Corporation. The deal underscores EPR's deliberate pivot toward experiential real estate, a theme reinforced by the addition of Netflix as a tenant through the acquisition of Netflix House Philadelphia, blending digital brand power with physical venues. Non-GAAP momentum was equally compelling, with FFOAA per diluted share climbing 12.7% to $1.42 and AFFO per diluted share rising 15.3% to $1.43. Management responded by lifting full-year 2026 FFOAA guidance to $5.41-$5.57 per share and raising investment spending targets to $600 million-$700 million, signaling continued confidence in the experiential growth pipeline.

“The second quarter marked a significant step forward in executing our growth strategy with the closing of our previously announced acquisition of the Six Flags portfolio of seven properties, as well as additional investments in attraction and fitness and wellness properties. This disciplined growth, combined with continued strength across our experiential portfolio, drove strong quarterly earnings, while our new $1.6 billion credit agreement further enhances our liquidity and financial flexibility to pursue additional opportunities. We are increasing our 2026 earnings and investment spending guidance, underscoring our confidence in the durability of our growth.”
