Receivables Investment in Leases, Net
Certain of the Company's leases are recorded as an Investment in leases, financing receivables, net, as the sale-leaseback transactions were accounted for as failed sale leasebacks as control of the real estate did not transfer to the Company. Additionally, as described in Note 1, the Company reassessed the Tropicana Las Vegas Lease in 2024 which resulted in the lease being classified as a sales-type lease. The following is a summary of the balances of the Company's Investment in leases, financing receivables and investment in leases, sales-type (in thousands).

The Company follows ASC 326 “Credit Losses”, which requires that the Company measure and record current expected credit losses (“CECL”), the scope of which includes the Company's Investment in leases, financing receivables, net, the Company's Investment in leases, sales-type, net, and the Company's Real estate loans, net, which are discussed in Note 5. The Company has elected to use an econometric default and loss rate model to estimate the allowance for credit losses, or CECL allowance. This model requires us to calculate and input lease and property-specific credit and performance metrics which in conjunction with forward-looking economic forecasts, project estimated credit losses over the life of the lease or loan. The Company then records a CECL allowance based on the expected loss rate multiplied by the outstanding investment.

Expected losses within our cash flows are determined by estimating the probability of default (“PD”) and loss given default (“LGD”) of our instruments subject to CECL. We have engaged a nationally recognized data analytics firm to assist us with estimating both the PD and LGD. The PD and LGD are estimated during the initial term of the instruments subject to CECL. The PD and LGD estimates were developed using current financial condition forecasts. The PD and LGD predictive model was developed using the average historical default rates and historical loss rates, respectively, of over 100,000 commercial real estate loans dating back to 1998 that have similar credit profiles or characteristics to the real estate underlying the Company's instruments subject to CECL. Management will monitor the credit risk related to its instruments subject to CECL by obtaining the applicable rent and interest coverage on a periodic basis. The Company also monitors legislative changes to assess whether it would have an impact on the underlying performance of its tenant. We are unable to use our
historical data to estimate losses as the Company has no loss history to date on its lease portfolio. Our tenants were current on all of their rental obligations as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded a net provision for credit losses of $2.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively, related to investments in leases, financing receivables, and sales-type leases.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded net provisions for credit losses of $46.2 million and $82.2 million, respectively, related to investments in leases, financing receivables, and sales-type leases. These provisions were primarily driven by a sequential deterioration in the third-party forward-looking economic outlook used in the Company's CECL reserve calculations. The macroeconomic forecast as of March 31, 2025 was more pessimistic than the forecast used as of December 31, 2024, resulting in a provision during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The outlook further deteriorated as of June 30, 2025, leading to an additional provision during the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Differences in the allowance as a percentage of outstanding financing receivables for leases originated in different calendar years, as shown in the table, reflect various factors, including but not limited to, expected rent coverage ratios and loan-to-value ratios. Future changes in economic projections, probability factors, changes in the estimated value of our real estate property and earnings assumptions at the underlying facilities may result in non-cash provisions or recoveries in future periods that could materially impact our results of operations.
