timandtim On the surface, Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. ( NYSE: IIPR ) and Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. ( NYSE: PLYM ) are quite similar. Industrial real estate investment trusts, or REITs Discounted adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, multiples relative to the rest of the industrial sector Enticing dividend yields. Yet, we are bullish on PLYM and bearish on IIPR . As value investors, the extremely low AFFO multiples appeal to us, but value alone does not create a total return. Business models need to be durable such that earnings will grow over time. We believe PLYM passes this test and IIPR does not. The difference comes in acquisition strategy and the way properties are leased. Any acquisition looks good when it is cash flowing, but the real test of a REIT’s strategy is in times of struggle. Both IIPR and PLYM have experienced some tenant difficulties lately, affording an opportunity to stress test the companies. The fundamental outcomes of each company’s leasing events show a large quality gap between the discounted industrial REITs. IIPR’s Tenant Difficulties PharmaCann defaulted on its leases with IIPR. As IIPR’s largest tenant at 17% of rental revenues, it is a fairly sizable hit. IIPR Other tenants are struggling to pay rent as well, with IIPR dipping into security deposits from TILT Holdings, 4Front Ventures, and Emerald Growth to cover their rent. Per the 10-Q : “For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we applied $1.4 million of security deposits for payment of rent on properties leased to 4Front Ventures Corp. (“4Front”) (four properties), TILT Holdings Inc. (“TILT”) (one property), and Emerald Growth Holdings LLC (“Emerald Growth”) (one property). A lease was terminated with Temescal Wellness and IIPR retook possession of the property, also per the 10-Q: “We terminated our lease with Temescal Wellness of Massachusetts, LLC at our Massachusetts property and regained possession of the property on September 30, 2024. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we applied $2.2 million of security deposits for payment of rent.” Rent collection continues to struggle post Q3 2024, with more of it being paid from security deposits: “Subsequent to September 30, 2024, we applied $0.9 million in security deposits for the properties leased to 4Front, TILT and Emerald Growth for the payment of rent owing in October 2024, and, including those security deposits applied, we collected $1.4 million of the contractually due rent and interest of $2.2 million for the month of October 2024 for 4Front, Emerald Growth, TILT and a secured loan for which we are the lender for a California property portfolio.” These security deposits will be depleted, at which point we believe the rent will become delinquent. We find 2 aspects of the poor rent collection troubling: It represents a large portion of their portfolio. PharmaCann is 17% of rental income alone, and some of their other significant tenants are struggling. The prospects for replacing that revenue look weak. Allow me to elaborate on the 2 nd point because I think that is the true weakness of IIPR’s business model. Tenant defaults are fairly common among REITs. Think of something as simple as an apartment tenant defaulting on their monthly rent. This sort of thing happens quite routinely, and it is so routine that the chance of occurrence is actually factored into the underwriting of property acquisitions. When the tenant defaults, the landlord kicks them out and finds a new tenant. Assuming the tenant was paying a normal amount, rent from the new tenant would be roughly the same. Perhaps the landlord loses out on a few months of rent during the transition, but overall, it is not that big of a deal. IIPR’s problem is that its tenants are not paying a normal amount of rent. The company reports 2025 annual base rent (ABR) of $310.8 million, which allows us to run various calculations on its leases. IIPR Annual rent totals a whopping 13.68% of enterprise value. A company could theoretically get to that level by its stock price getting cheap, but that is not the case here. Sure, IIPR crashed on the PharmaCann default announcement, but over a longer period of time, the stock price is up quite considerably. SA Normal cap rates for industrial REITs are around 4%-9% depending on the vintage of the lease and various property quality factors. Thus, rent being over 13% of EV is quite strange. The extremely high rent as a percentage of EV is due to going in cap rates in the mid-teens. We previously identified in the article linked earlier that IIPR’s high cap rates are the result of its leases being partially loans. Industrial buildings are quite cheap to build, often costing less than $100 per square foot. Yet, IIPR’s enterprise value per foot is $267. High EV/foot could be due to IIPR’s stock trading at a bloated valuation, but that is clearly not the case here with an 8.5X AFFO multiple. See, the way most REITs work is that the REIT invests in the building and then the tenant pays rent to use that building. IIPR does things a bit differently. It owns the building, but a substantial portion of its investment is directly with the tenant. IIPR gives its tenants millions of dollars to be used for property improvements in exchange for higher rental rates and longer lease terms. They have been doing this since IPO and are still doing it with recent announcements in its 10-Q. In fact, as recently as February, IIPR invested an additional $16 million in PharmaCann, the now defaulting tenant. “In February 2024, we amended our lease and development agreement with PharmaCann at one of our New York properties, increasing the construction funding commitment by $16.0 million, which also resulted in a corresponding adjustment to the base rent for the lease at the property. We also amended the lease to extend the term.” In April, they provided a similar tenant allowance to Battle Green Holdings: “In April 2024, we amended our lease with a subsidiary of Battle Green Holdings LLC at one of our Ohio properties to provide an additional improvement allowance of $4.5 million, which also resulted in a corresponding adjustment to the base rent for the lease at the property.” Also in April, IIPR provided an additional $1.6 million to 4Front in exchange for higher rents. “In April 2024, we amended the lease with a subsidiary of 4Front at one of our Illinois properties to provide an additional improvement allowance of $1.6 million, which also resulted in a corresponding adjustment to the base rent for the lease at the property and increased the annual base rent escalations for the remainder of the lease term.” That is the same 4Front that is now only covering its rent by dipping into security deposits. Perhaps one could technically classify these as property investments because the funds given to tenants are earmarked to improve the properties. However, I consider it to be the financial equivalent of investing in tenants in the form of loans with interest payments and principal to be paid back to IIPR through higher rent over the lease term. The result of all this investment in tenant improvement is that IIPR’s rent per foot has gotten to a whopping $36.53. 2MC That is an insane level of rent for industrial properties. As a point of comparison, Rexford Industrial Realty ( REXR ) has rent per foot of $16.23 and their portfolio consists almost exclusively of class A+ real estate in the highly dense Inland Empire. S&P Global Market Intelligence In comparison, IIPR’s properties are in the middle of nowhere. S&P Global Market Intelligence I love the Midwest, but property values in Michigan are a fraction of property values in the port of Los Angeles. So, IIPR’s rent per foot of $36.53 is absolutely insane compared to Rexford at $16.23. Rents are high to essentially pay IIPR back for the tenant allowances that IIPR pays the tenants. That works out great when the leases go to full term. It is a disaster when leases end early, such as the PharmaCann default, a few other defaults recently, and the slew of tenants currently struggling to pay rent. The problem for IIPR is that, unlike that apartment landlord who just finds a new tenant at the same rent, a new tenant’s rent is likely to be closer to $8 a foot. If they are lucky, a cannabis-related tenant would be able to use the tenant improvements installed in the buildings and could potentially pay $16 a foot. I just don’t see any realistic scenario in which a replacement tenant pays anywhere close to $36 a foot. IIPR is looking at either substantial vacancies or large cuts in rent when replacement tenants are found. So while the stock is cheap, trading at a very low multiple relative to the industrial sector, I think the fundamental downside makes it cheap for a reason. S&P Global Market Intelligence Plymouth Industrial is similarly discounted at a 9.7X AFFO multiple. It, too, has had tenant troubles with 2 recent tenant defaults on rent. This valuation would indicate that the market thinks Plymouth will also suffer a fundamental downside resulting from these defaults. Indeed, PLYM stock has been clobbered since the tenant lease defaults were announced on November 6 th . SA This, in my opinion, is incorrect. The fundamental impact of PLYM’s tenant issues is entirely different for 2 reasons: These tenants were quite a small slice of PLYM’s revenue PLYM has a different business model in which they invest exclusively in the real estate, not the tenant. We tabulated IIPR's vitals earlier and PLYM’s are below. 2MC There are some considerable differences worth pointing out. PLYM’s enterprise value per foot is $52.44 compared to $267 for IIPR. Part of this is PLYM stock trading cheaply, but most of it is that PLYM’s acquisition criteria involves purchasing properties below replacement cost. It is not feasible to build warehouses of reasonable quality today for $52.44 a foot. Perhaps the more pertinent difference is that PLYM’s rent per foot is $4.79. That is well below market rent for industrial real estate of the quality (usually class B) and location of PLYM’s properties. Rent per foot varies throughout PLYM’s portfolio by vintage of lease and the particular property with which it is associated. In the most recent quarter, PLYM had some of its lower rent leases expire at $4.14 per foot and signed new tenants at $5.27 per foot. Supplemental That is a 27% increase, and I think quite indicative of the rest of the portfolio in terms of existing rents being below market. Below-market rent is a make-or-break when it comes to tenant issues. When an above-market rent tenant fails as was the case with IIPR, rent comes back down to market and that is in the favorable outcome where a new tenant is found. When a below-market rent tenant fails, it is almost an opportunity. It allows the REIT to accelerate marking that rent to market. That is what happened with PLYM’s vacancies. We discussed the replacement of PLYM’s defaulted tenants on our portfolio update on Portfolio Income Solutions. “Digging into the content of {Plymouth’s} the 3Q24 call, both vacancies have already been replaced with new tenants at equal or higher rent. Thus, it is clearly not a demand issue and the financial hit to PLYM will be limited to the roughly 6 month window between the previous tenant leaving and rent of the new tenant commencing.” Anthony Saladino, PLYM’s CFO, confirmed on the Q3 2024 earnings call that the replacement tenant is paying higher rent than the tenant that defaulted. “We sourced, identified and fully negotiated with a new tenant at a 27% positive spread to expiring rents” That is a night and day different outcome than IIPR. PLYM will have a few months of vacancy followed by a larger cash flow stream. That is the result of good asset underwriting and a business model that focuses on good real estate. IIPR will have either a long-term vacancy or a new tenant that pays a fraction of the rent of the previous tenant. Most of the capex IIPR spent on PharmaCann and the other struggling tenants could be lost, and AFFO/share is likely to suffer as rent gets marked to market. The Bottom Line As value investors, we have to choose carefully. PLYM is a strong industrial REIT that happens to be trading at a discounted AFFO multiple and well below NAV. IIPR is cheap for a reason. REITs are cheap relative to the broader market making it a great time to get in to the right REITs.

As calls mount within the federal Liberal Party for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down as leader, one political analyst says there’s little his detractors can do to force his hand. In a Sunday interview with CTV News Channel, Lori Turnbull of Dalhousie University and the Institute on Governance said the decision remains Trudeau’s at this time, as the party previously removed the option to initiate a leadership change through a majority vote. “There isn't the mechanism in the Liberal Party that there is in the Conservative Party,” explained Turnbull. “They availed themselves of the Reform Act and in not using that mechanism. (The Conservatives) ousted Erin O'Toole a few years ago and then had the leadership process that brought Pierre Poilievre in. But the Liberals didn't take advantage of that mechanism where the caucus can, with a 50-per-cent-plus-one vote, push the leader out, and then replace with an interim leader. And so, their options for actually pushing him out of the door are pretty limited.” According to Turnbull, the resignation requests from within Trudeau's caucus, be they through the media or in back rooms, appears to be the adoption of a "death by a thousand cuts" approach ahead of an impending federal election. “As they get into election-readiness mode, as the party has to move toward making sure all the candidates are nominated, this last push to see whether there's any budging for those who want him to go — we're seeing that happen now.” Turnbull added that the current lack of an heir-apparent for party leader removes some of the pressure on Trudeau, but that could change once leadership challengers emerge who caucus members could potentially rally around. “Now that you can hear it more and more in terms of rumours of people putting together a leadership bid. People are networking. People are putting some money together, that sort of thing. That might be the type of thing that puts a greater amount of pressure on him because, without there being somewhere else to go, it's hard for the party," she said. “And again, in the absence of this formal mechanism, it's hard to push one leader out when you're not sure who the next leader is going to be. It's hard to make that transfer.” Turnbull says it appears Trudeau is reflecting on his future over the holidays, but she expects that, no matter what the prime minister decides, an election will likely be called sooner than later. “I think his options are basically, does he want to go into the next election with the party as leader of the party, or not? And if he does, he's going to have to get to (an) election quickly given the fact that opposition parties are saying they're done with this," she said. "If he decides he wants to give the reins to somebody else, it will probably (be) by way of proroguing Parliament, so that the Liberals could have this process without being at risk of losing government in the House of Commons. And then, once that happens, you know that an election would be shortly after that, I would think.” MORE POLITICS NEWS 'Pretty limited' options for Liberal MPs calling for leadership change Calgary Skyview MP George Chahal joins growing chorus of Liberals calling for Trudeau to step down Criminologist says Canada should better track foreign student departures Gerry Butts says Trudeau less likely to remain leader since Freeland quit Conservatives call for no-confidence vote by late January Trudeau, Carney push back over Trump's ongoing 51st state comments Bloc Quebecois as official Opposition?

Stay ConnectedMILLIONS of Black Friday shoppers searching for bargains risk being conned by fake customer reviews. One in seven online testimonials are in fact false, according to government data. If you fall for a bogus review then you could end up wasting your money on poor or even dangerous products. Charlotte Sheridan, founder of The Small Biz Expert, which helps its clients get genuine reviews, says: “Unfortunately, there are a lot of fake reviews online, so it’s always best to delve a bit deeper, especially if you’re parting with a lot of money.” This Black Friday week, Mel Hunter reveals how to spot them. HOW DO FAKES HAPPEN? INCREASINGLY, AI -generated posts are cropping up online. Read More on Money It affects companies big and small. In 2023 alone, Amazon — which claims it has “zero tolerance” for fake reviews — blocked 250million of the posts. A new law, the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act, is due to come into force in April next year, banning fake reviews and making companies responsible for checking them. But in practice they can be hard to spot — and difficult to police. Most read in Money There are some tell-tale signs, though. Before you part with your money this Black Friday, sort out the real reviews from the false ones so you spend more wisely. LOOK FOR DETAIL WHEN it comes to sorting genuine experiences from those that have been made up, you need to read between the lines. Fake reviews are often vague and lacking in human detail. They might say a product is “great”, without explaining why. A review that repeats phrases from a product’s website can also be a red flag. Amy Cutmore, editor of Expert Reviews, says: “A real review is usually specific and descriptive. “For an air fryer, it might say ‘I cooked bacon in it and it came out nice and crispy’. “If a review reveals no details on the product or the use of it, be suspicious.” SPELLING MISTAKES POOR spelling should make you suspicious. It could be a sign that reviews have come from someone being paid to churn them out in bulk, and often not in their native language. Look at other review sites, too, to get a broader range of views. Charlotte says: “I would always recommend, where possible, looking at more than one platform for reviews. Whether it’s a combination of social media reviews and Google, or Trustpilot and Amazon, use more than one source.” SIZE MATTERS LOOK out for reviews that are very short, or too long. If someone has written a dubious review, they will probably keep it to just a few sentences. A bogus review, produced by AI, on the other hand, could ramble on far too long. A recommendation by a real person is more likely to fall somewhere in between. FIVE-STAR FAKES SHOPPING experts recommend skipping both five-star and one-star reviews, which is where most fakes tend to land. It may mean you miss some genuine recommendations, but you will also get a more rounded picture from three or four-star ones, where real customers weigh up the positives and negatives. Amy says: “If the review makes the product sound far too good to be true, it’s more likely to be fake feedback.” Be especially alert for five-star reviews on unbranded products. Shoppers are more than twice as likely to pick poor-quality products that have been boosted by fraudulent reviews, according to Which? RAINING REVIEWS ANOTHER sign of a dodgy write-up could be a deluge of reviews for the same product landing within just a short space of time, with long gaps between other reviews. It could happen around Black Friday or Christmas when a retailer is trying to shift stock, or around a new launch. Amy says: “This could be a sign that the seller has faked positive feedback in some way.” She recommends a tool that can help spot bogus reviews. Fakespot from Mozilla is a plug-in tool that will help single out false reviews. It can be added to a web browser for free, and it works with Amazon, eBay and Shopify , as well as other e-retail sites. POWER IN THE PROFILE DELVE a bit deeper into a reviewer’s profile. On sites including Google Reviews, Trustpilot and Amazon, you can see what other businesses or products someone has reviewed. Charlotte says: “Here there can be some obvious red flags — for example, if someone is not in the country where the business they are buying from is based. “Also, be sure to take a look at how often they review products and services. “Reviewing lots of different products within a short timeframe may also indicate a false review.” Amy says that if all the reviewer’s posts give five stars, or one, it might show they have been given an incentive to write the posts. £25? what an ice surprise! THOUSANDS of struggling households in more than a dozen postcodes are set to receive cash to help heat their homes as the cold snap takes hold. Those eligible get £25 during each seven-day period of below-zero weather in their area until March 31. The Department for Work and Pensions provides the extra cash to low-income households. To be eligible, you must receive certain benefits, such as Pension Credit, Universal Credit and Income Support, or support for mortgage interest. Those who qualify will have the funds deposited automatically into their bank accounts within 14 days of their postcode being triggered. These postcodes, which have already experienced a period of very low temperatures, are now eligible for a single cold weather payment: CA9-12, CA16-17, DG14, TD9, LA8-10, LA21-23, NE19, NE47-NE49. If you think you could have received the payment, check your bank statement for an item with your National Insurance number followed by the code “DWP CWP”. Further cold weather could lead to additional payments in other areas, and there is no maximum limit to the amount you can receive. For example, almost 500 postcodes got up to £75 last winter . See coldweatherpayments. dwp.gov.uk to check if you will be due a cold weather payment . James Flanders Users are E.ON for payout A MAJOR energy supplier will give £144 in compensation to 250,000 customers. E.ON Next – part of the E.ON Energy Group – has been asked to pay up after it failed to give final bills and refunds to prepayment meter customers . Almost a quarter of a million accounts were affected between February 2021 and September 2023, an investigation by energy regulator Ofgem found. This was due to an error within its billing system, which E.ON Next self-reported to Ofgem. Prepayment customers who changed suppliers or terminated their contract did not receive final bills within six weeks, which is required under Ofgem’s rules. This failure meant existing customers were not aware of cash left over in their accounts, the watchdog said. It was found that some 100,000 of the accounts were in credit, with an average of £51 left over. Impacted customers have been contacted to inform them about the payment, E.ON said. The company also agreed to voluntarily write off debt held by almost 150,000 prepayment meter customers who closed their accounts between February 2021 and September 2023. READ MORE SUN STORIES Beth Martin, director for consumer protection and competition at Ofgem, said: “It’s encouraging that [E.ON Next] self-reported the issue and have worked with us to resolve it.” Laura McGuire

COLEEN Rooney burst into tears during an emotional reunion with her two youngest sons in the I’m A Celebrity jungle camp last night. She was stunned to see eight-year-old Kit and Cass, six , appear with her mum Colette McLoughlin . They were sneaked in by producers for a special friends and families reunion episode after spending nearly four weeks apart. Wag Coleen, 38, became a blubbering wreck when she left the Bush Telegraph and saw Colette, 62, sitting on the Leaders’ Lodge throne. She ran and hugged her, then said: “I don’t want you to leave me now.” As Coleen prepared to chat to her mum, Kit and Cass shouted: “Boo!” — making their mum hysterical. Cheeky Kit said “She stinks” as he embraced his mother — and told her he won a football match. Kit got emotional and nodded after Coleen asked if he had scored. In tears, she told him: “I’m crying because I’m happy. "I’ve missed you so much!” After giving them a tour of the camp — as Cass sported her jungle hat — they said their goodbyes, with Coleen telling them the countdown to Christmas will kick off soon. She left their £20million Cheshire home to fly to Australia on November 11. After landing the next day, she had her belongings confiscated — including her phone — and has not spoken to loved ones since. The Sun on Sunday revealed last month Coleen would be surprised by her two lads and Colette , once there were around five or six celebs left in camp. Last week, Coleen — also mum to Kai, 15 , and Klay, 11 — admitted she had suffered a “wobble” while thinking about her children. She has been wearing a necklace with her four boys’ names on, which she touches as a sign to let them know she is thinking of them. One of the younger lads had been “really quiet and subdued” back home without mum around, but both were delighted to see her again. Their ex-England star dad Wayne, 39, was with them back home last month, but is currently living 270 miles away in Devon, where he is the boss of Plymouth Argyle . He is not able to fly to Oz with his family because of a hectic fixture schedule, with crucial matches coming up as his team bids to stave off relegation from the Championship. The other celebs, meanwhile, also got the chance to see their loved ones again. McFly singer Danny Jones embraced wife Georgia and their six-year-old son Cooper, while Dancing on Ice judge Oti Mabuse had a reunion with husband Marius Iepure . The friends and families special featured on the show in 2023 for the first time in five years. In 2018, ex-footie manager and SunSport columnist Harry Redknapp broke down in tears when he got to see his wife Sandra. Last night’s reunion was made even sweeter for Coleen after she did a grim Dreaded Dreggs drinking challenge in a Bushtucker Trial with the Rev Richard Coles. At one point, she looked like she was about to throw up . On the menu were blended pig’s testicles and six cups of blended cockroaches. The pair won the maximum six stars for a camp meal, plus a bonus star. i'm A Celebrity is back for its 24th series, with a batch of famous faces living in the Aussie jungle.

The former Communards and Strictly star , said the BBC did not know its a**e from its elbow last year. An insider said: "Rev Coles will have a variety of tales to tell from his wild days as a pop star in the Eighties, through to performing on Strictly and his later life as a man of the cloth."

ALMOST 40 inmates at a prison collapsed in 24 hours after taking drugs — with one rushed to hospital. More than ten per cent of the jail’s population fell ill from a batch of fentanyl mixed with spice . Worried bosses then placed troubled Deerbolt prison in Co Durham on a two-day lockdown after the incident last month. Synthetic drug fentanyl can be 50 times more potent than heroin — and one inmate was feared to be dying from an overdose. A source said: “A prisoner was found collapsed in his cell, which was when the alarm was raised. “Shockingly, this was in the morning — and they got to him just in time. “He was rushed to hospital, where they saved him. But he was in such a bad way that ‘death in custody’ paperwork was prepared in case the worst happened.” They added: “Word got round that loads of the prisoners had taken a mixture of fentanyl and spice. Others started collapsing over a period of hours — and there were a total of 38 cases.” “No one has ever known an outbreak of illness as big as this. The prison was put in to lockdown and a fleet of ambulances arrived. “A lot of the inmates were treated in the jail with an antidote, and it is a sad sign of the times that they know they need to stock it.” The latest inspection report for Deerbolt — where most lags are under 21 — found more than one in four had substance abuse problems.
