Bill Lenehan
Chief Executive Officer
Good morning and apologies for the technical difficulties. Following my initial remarks on our Q3 results and the state of the market, Patrick will comment on our investment activity for the quarter and current capital position. 2026 has been a banner year for FCBT. Year to date, we've acquired a record volume of 410 million properties at a blended 6.6 cash cap rate and 7.2 GAAP cap rate. Over the past 12 months, we've acquired 505 million of properties. Despite the record volume for FCBT, we've remained highly consistent with the investment characteristics that have long defined FCBT strategy, namely low basis properties, conservative rents, Strong Store Level Profitability, and Leading Tenant Operators. We fully funded the volume this quarter with two recently closed term loans that featured coupons in the mid-4 to low-5% range, utilizing our debt capacity generating spreads of over 200 basis points as compared to historic investment yields. We also updated our dividend policy to monthly payments beginning in August and subsequently increased the dividend by 3.5% for the fourth quarter. Finally, we were excited to announce a few weeks ago that Darden extended 100% of all Olive Garden and Longhorn leases maturing in 2027, along with the early extension of a handful of 2028 lease maturities. These properties represent the first extension decision by Darden since FCPT spinoff back in 2015. We note that the extensions do not require rent reductions or capital contributions from FCPT, and Darden's rents will continue to increase by 1.5% annually. To clarify, these are individual leases where the tenant made the decision in each and every case to extend under contractual terms. We also note that we've continued to significantly diversify. Darden is now just 40% of cash rent and 42% of our rents come from sectors outside of casual dining. This includes medical retail, now at 16%, automotive service at 13%, and Quick Service at 10%. Now turning to the current acquisition environment, which has changed a great deal in recent months. Investors consistently ask us how this will impact our pipeline efforts. Our answer is that since inception, FCPT has been consistent in modulating acquisitions relative to our cost of capital. This happened most recently when rates rose in 2023. At that point, Rising rates made it difficult to invest accretively, and so we subsequently stopped nearly all acquisitions and aggressively moderated additions to our pipeline from late 23 through mid 24. Basically, we didn't buy anything. Once our cost of capital improved, we hit the gas with vigor and subsequently invested nearly a billion dollars in new accretive real estate investments from 2024 through today. Capital allocation discipline is built into how we operate. We do not provide acquisition guidance. Our team's incentives are not tied to volume. This alignment lets us grow when it's creative and stay patient when it isn't. It's times like these when having clear mental frameworks designed in non-turbulent times makes all the difference to investors. Other companies may say they will modulate guidance in the face of weakening spreads, but we actually have an established track record of pausing investments. Said simply and to be clear, FCPT's management will not sacrifice our shareholders' interests to simply pursue scale. As for the state of the company in this turbulent environment, we believe that we are very well positioned to weather continued macro headwinds. First, our granular acquisition strategy has created a highly fungible portfolio among the lowest per property value at risk within our industry. Our lease renewal rates are very high. Occupancy remains well over 99%, and our rent coverage in Q3 was 5.3 times for the majority of our portfolio that reports this figure. Our rent coverage remains the best coverage within our industry and what we believe is a reflection of our conservative and analytical underwriting. Second, our three core restaurant brands, Olive Garden, Longhorn, and Chili's, continue to outperform their peers and grew sales in the most recent quarter by 1%, 6.8%, and 10.1% respectively. The value proposition these restaurant brands offer their customers is tremendous, and they have shown through consistent historical growth Many different macroeconomic cycles. Additionally, our mission pet health properties have covered levels above six times. This is the exact type of portfolio you would want a turbulent backdrop. Third, we have very limited credit loss over our 11-year history. That result isn't an accident. We are aligned with leading operators in our chosen sectors and avoid experiential net lease sectors and over-rented properties. We try to keep it simple by acquiring low basis, fungible properties in what we believe are e-comment resistant sectors. The last point I'd like to touch on is yesterday's announcement of our inaugural share or purchase program. We're going to go into some detail here on how we're thinking about share or purchases. One of our long-term mental models is our heat meter and the green, yellow, and red zones. In FCPT's history, there have just been a handful of times of short-lived red zone windows over the last decade. at the spin during COVID, the two prominent ones, where shareholder purchases would have made true economic sense. We believe the current landscape presents the best opportunity for FCPT shareholder purchases since our company was founded. As such, our board has authorized a $100 million shareholder purchase program, and if conditions meet our thresholds, then we will seek to utilize it. So let me trace the steps of how we think about this, which is influenced by the writing of Michael Mobison on capital allocation. The first decision is whether there are property acquisitions that clearly exceed our cost of capital. Because we're very analytical in assessing the quality of the properties we buy, we can do this step without quality creep. This is where we have been as a company for a significant majority of our existence, but not today. Perhaps cap rates will follow interest rates with a lag, but as of today, we think external cap rates are generally too low and in most instances, investment spreads will be thin to negative for the investments that meet our high quality threshold we hold our substitute. We next make sure we are conservatively levered. We want to make sure our balance sheet is in great shape. Pat has done a terrific job here. We have few near-term maturities, a largely fixed rate structure and we remain within our modest target leverage range. Then we make a determination of whether we believe our stock represents a compelling investment opportunity. By this, I mean below where we believe in our intrinsic value is. In the final check, we compare the risk-adjusted returns of new acquisitions, debt reduction, liquidity preservation, and share repurchases. FCPT has always been price-disciplined in where we issue new shares, and in the exact same vein, we will seek to be very price-disciplined when we buy back shares. We will run this analysis every time we repurchase stock in the market to confirm these conditions are met. It is also worth noting that our program does not require us to buy a certain number of shares and allows us to suspend or terminate the program at any time, i.e., we will be valuation sensitive. Given the lack of tenant issues and our strong confidence in the portfolio, we view FCPT's current stock price as a very compelling investment today. I note that it is public that I personally purchased FCP stock recently. This does not affect the theoretical exercise for me. Before handing back over to Pat, I want to offer sincere gratitude to Josh Zhang for his contributions to FCBT. Josh joined us way back in 2016 and was instrumental in building our platform. Josh will be leaving FCBT in Q4 to take a personal sabbatical before exploring an entrepreneurial opportunity. He remains a big fan of FCBT, as we are of him, and is another proud member of our alumni base. We wish him the absolute best. I know I speak for myself, Patrick, the rest of the company, the board, when I say it's been a pleasure getting to know him professionally and personally. Wherever he ends up, they'll be extremely lucky to have him. Over to you, Patrick. Thanks, Bill.
Patrick Wernig
Chief Financial Officer
Very well said, and I couldn't agree more. Josh has been a close colleague for a decade and represented on FCPT. We're very grateful for his meaningful efforts, which helped us evolve from startup to a season net lease investment vehicle. Now I'll shift to a review of the Q3 acquisition activity before touching on our balance sheet. In Q3, we acquired 120 properties with a weighted average lease term of 10 years for $326 million at a 106.6% cap cap rate or 7.1% cap cap rate. This quarter was weighted towards medical retail with the previously announced acquisition of 102 Mission Pet Health properties. We also continue to source and execute our regular way investment pipelines spanning restaurants, automotive service, medical retail, and other sectors across 14 distinct transactions in Q3. Those investments included newer subsectors for our platform. with acquisition for the GMW Grocery Property and the Drilling Tools International Light Manufacturing Facility. In both cases, we've been monitoring these sectors for years. We've been waiting for the right opportunities with real estate, credit, and pricing quality to fit FCPD standards and investment profile. We'll continue to evaluate investments in these subsectors and expect that over time, we'll expand our opportunity set as we build domain expertise. I know that we did end up killing a handful of deals this quarter, so we got more selective or ran into issues during due diligence that we thought would impact the long-term economic. that resulted in a net deal cost of around $100,000, which is a FFO. We don't love killing deals, but are more focused on avoiding long-term problems and deals that don't meet our return thresholds. Before I move on from acquisitions, I'd like to commend our investment and legal teams, as well as our accounting and property management team. They ran an effective and efficient diligence process and integrated more properties in Q3 than we have historically done in the full year. It really speaks to the strength of the platform and the capacity we've built at FCTG. Now over to the balance sheet. The bill highlighted, since April, we've closed on a total of $600 million of new term loans, which represents an incremental $410 million of debt. With nearly 40% of our balance sheet put in place or extended five to seven years, 4% to low 5% coupons. $40 million remains undrawn on the $400 million term loan, which we intend to fund by the end of the year. Additionally, we were able to lower term loan spreads by five to 10 basis points annually on $800 million of outstanding loans for annual savings of approximately $450,000. are fully undrawn on our $350 million revolver and leveraged for the Q3 annualized period with six times. Our stated leverage range remains five to six times, and on a run rate basis, we remain a bit below that six times upper bound of the range. On our debt maturity schedule, we just had a $50 million private note coming due in December, which is about 3% of our total outstanding debt. We plan to repay that with that private note at the maturity date. We've earmarked the fund to do so. principally we expect to address the maturity with the $40 million remaining on the run time load and cash on hand. Including this December note, we have just $75 million or less than 5% of our total debt coming due prior to February 2028. Our staggered debt maturity schedule was specifically designed to avoid facing a significant refinancing wall in any given year. Looking at the landscape today, it's a great benefit to have very minimal refinancing headwinds. In the same vein, we have very little floating rate exposure with 85% of our debt balance fixed as of 930. We included a detailed hedging schedule in our supplemental that also has the locked rate on our term loan, which is currently 3.1%. Now I'd like to go through a few earnings highlights for the quarter. Q3 cash rental income was $75.2 million, representing 13.7% growth versus prior year. Annualized cash base rent for leases in place as of quarter end was $292.8 million, and our weighted average five-year annual cash rent escalator is 1.6%. Cash G&A expense was $4.7 million for the quarter, representing 6.3% of cash rental income compared to 6.5% for the prior year. This improvement in operating leverage illustrates our continued efforts at achieving efficient growth and the benefits of our rising scale. Overall, Q3 FFO per share was $0.46, representing 2.9% growth versus prior year, a little bit less than quarter versus our usual results because of the significant acquisition volume and debt refinancing. We also recognize the one-time catch-up chart from a disputed state pact from several years ago and Deb Gilkos from several transactions that we killed during the quarter. Our fixed charge coverage ratio remains a very healthy four times as a quarter end. Following our Q3 results, we are refirming our cash G&A guidance for 2026 of 19.2 to $19.7 million, but noting we expect to be at the bottom of the range. On the leasing front, the team continues to achieve remarkably strong results. We continue to make progress on the 2026 lease maturity. 39 of the 43 leases already extended by option, release or amendment. The remaining four properties combined for less than 0.2% of AVR. We are actively negotiating with current and prospective tenants on the remaining properties in the normal course of managing our portfolio. Our occupancy remains strong at 99.5% today. We collected 99.7% of base rent for Q3. Finally, last quarter, we did not see any material changes to our collectability or credit reserves. Our best-in-class portfolio represents an opportunity for differentiated source capital in the form of dispositions. In the past, we've had periods where we were more active with dispositions, but not in recent years. We have a slide in our presentation posted yesterday that details our strong disposition track record. We use this as another tool to unlock value not reflected in our public valuation. Depending on pricing and execution, dispositions can be another potential capital source. We regularly receive strong reverse inquiry offers for our properties. In this environment, we plan to be more responsive to those opportunities. That will turn back over to Lucas for questions.

We will now begin the question and answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one to raise your hand. To withdraw your question, press star one again. We ask that you pick up your handset when asking a question to allow for optimum sound quality. If you are muted locally, please remember to unmute your device. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. Your first question comes from the line of Jamie Feldman with Wells Fargo. Jamie, please go ahead.
Jamie Feldman
Analyst, Wells Fargo
Great. Thanks for taking the question. So congratulations on getting the first tranche of the Darden leases executed 100%. You know, you had mentioned that those were all one-off negotiations or individual leases. Can you just talk about, as we think about the future tranches, can you just talk about what kind of the negotiating points were? to get all of those done. Is there anything as we think about how they might play out for the next tranches that, you know, we're sticking points as you're negotiating or does this give you confidence that it'll go pretty smoothly for the rest?
Bill Lenehan
Chief Executive Officer
Yeah, I think negotiation is probably too strong of a word, Jamie. We had to, you know, help administer the paperwork on the extensions, but they were essentially extended, not essentially, they were extended in, you know, as, as, were actually, they notified us, and it's just working with them so it doesn't all happen at the last minute, just managing the paperwork. But these are very well-covered leases. These buildings have been in operation since I was a child, by and large, and that's very, very similar to all the rest of our portfolio.
Patrick Wernig
Chief Financial Officer
I think the point we made on the individual leases is that because it's not a master lease, Darden had the opportunity to go through and evaluate each property and so, you know, it makes us feel even better than, you know, you might think just saying that they, in each and every one of those cases, affirm the storage or something that they, you know, wanted to remain committed to and continue to operate because they're profitable.
Mitch Germain
Analyst, Citizens Bank
Okay, thank you for that.
Jamie Feldman
Analyst, Wells Fargo
And then, you know, with leverage close to the high end of your range, you know, assuming that the cost of capital, at least the equity markets, doesn't cooperate, anytime soon. How do you think about maybe getting that leverage lower to get yourself back in a position to acquire or do you just wait this out? Would you consider asset sales or anything else to raise capital?
Bill Lenehan
Chief Executive Officer
Yeah, I think, you know, Patrick made the comments at the end of his remarks that we have very liquid currency in our buildings. There are, you know, a lot of demand for them. We get reverse inquiries on essentially a daily basis. So we have that. we could do a joint venture free of capital, incremental free cash flows, substantial scale of our business. We have a lot of avenues to create cash, to reduce leverage, keep it within the range and still buy back shares.
Jamie Feldman
Analyst, Wells Fargo
I guess in terms of like timing, how patient would you be for things to come your way before you start taking action?
Bill Lenehan
Chief Executive Officer
By taking action, as you're referring to buying back stock, I think we would be doing that in the near term.
Jamie Feldman
Analyst, Wells Fargo
No, sorry.
Bill Lenehan
Chief Executive Officer
I mentioned third party ventures. Yeah, I think the process of selling buildings is a pretty well-worn path. We showed you in our presentation, we've done that a number of times. So that can be done in the near term.
Patrick Wernig
Chief Financial Officer
Yeah. And I think I just point out that, you know, I hope it's not lost that the timing of when we raised that debt capital this summer was pretty fortuitous, you know, around a 5% or lower coupon rate. That's close to where the US Treasury is today. So, you know, I think we timed that well. It was highly accretive at that point. And, you know, when we think about the flexibility of having lower leverage, you know, you have to make sure that the pricing of that debt today still makes sense, right? And so the rates have moved significantly since then. It's to our benefit that we acted when we did and didn't hold on to that capacity.
Jamie Feldman
Analyst, Wells Fargo
Okay. All right. Great. Thank you.
Lucas
Conference Operator
Your next question comes from the line of Spencer Glimcher with Green Street. Spencer, please go ahead.
Spencer Glimcher
Analyst, Green Street
Yeah. Thank you. Look, on the transaction front, I know you guys have hit the brakes just given kind of the current environment and your cost of capital, but can you just talk about, you know, the makeup of deals you're seeing in terms of industries or credit looking to transact? And then have you seen any capitulation from sellers in terms of, you know, just signs of, you know, willingness to move cap rates higher?
Bill Lenehan
Chief Executive Officer
Yeah, so we actively managed our pipeline down post the Mission Pet Health We are seeing in the market that buyers are actively retrading in a substantial way. The few remaining assets we had in our pipeline had attractive cap rates. And what we're seeing today is cap rates going up, but not nearly as much as rates have moved and cost of debt has moved. So as Pat mentioned, we locked in a very substantial amount of debt before this move, which is very advantageous because incremental investments, if you're funding it with a typical mix of equity and debt, both your equity cost of capital is challenged across our industry as stock prices have gone down and your debt cost is challenged. We are seeing higher cap rates. There's some selective things to do, which we're very active on. But by and large, it hasn't reacted enough to compensate where your sources of capital have repressed.
Spencer Glimcher
Analyst, Green Street
Okay. Thanks for that. And then on the divestment front, it sounds like obviously you're in the early innings of this process. but can you provide some color on what types of assets would be kind of top of mind to sell and would this be purely opportunistic or would there be any room for portfolio management just keeping in mind of how high rent coverage and how superior tenant health is in the portfolio?
Bill Lenehan
Chief Executive Officer
Yeah, I think it's primarily driven by how attractive the use of capital is in share or purchase. That's very price dependent, as you might be aware. But I think the way we think about it, Spencer, is very similar to a report that Green Street did many years ago. I believe it was in 2014 on the arbitrage between the NAV of your company and the value of assets that you can sell. So I think that you guys wrote the script to that game plan.
Spencer Glimcher
Analyst, Green Street
Thank you.
Lucas
Conference Operator
Your next question comes from the line of Michael Goldsmith with UBS. Michael, please go ahead.
Michael Goldsmith
Analyst, UBS
Good afternoon. Thanks a lot for taking my questions. Maybe we can dive a little bit deeper into just how you use what capital you do have. We're talking about Sherry Purchases, you mentioned buying down debt. And then also it sounds like some deals were killed. So it seems like you were also willing to transaction the market. So can you just talk about, you know, at what levels do each of those look attractive and your thought process about approaching each of them? Thanks.
Bill Lenehan
Chief Executive Officer
Yeah. So we have seen some acquisitions that are highly strategic where we're adding an asset to an already existing master lease or we're getting very attractive pricing because we know a tenant. But by and large, our focus going forward is going to be share or purchase. And for obvious reasons, we're not going to draw a line in the sand of what that value is. But we think where our stock price is right now is very attractive.
Michael Goldsmith
Analyst, UBS
Got it. And then also you did mention the potential of doing joint ventures. So I just want to get a sense of what that looks like. Is that selling assets into a venture with someone else and then freeing up some capital to do activity in the market or just kind of get a sense of what you would be looking to get out of a JV arrangement?
Bill Lenehan
Chief Executive Officer
Yeah, I think you nailed that. We have a very well-developed acquisition apparatus. We see a lot of deal flow. And there are parties that contact us weekly about partnering with us to buy net lease assets. On the private side, net lease is very, very popular right now. And a number of new platforms have started and perhaps have raised more capital than they have acquisition opportunities. So I think our platform is very attractive there, and it's a very efficient way, as you mentioned, to free up capital to make a creative share of purchases.
Michael Goldsmith
Analyst, UBS
Thank you very much.
Bill Lenehan
Chief Executive Officer
Good luck in the fourth quarter.
Lucas
Conference Operator
Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of Wes Galladay with Baird. Wes, please go ahead. Hey, good morning, everyone.
Jamie Feldman
Analyst, Wells Fargo
Being that you have more liquid assets and equity prices more volatile than the private market, are you okay having a tiny mismatched buying shares first and going a little above your target leverage level?
Bill Lenehan
Chief Executive Officer
I don't think I would. I'd rather not comment on that, Wes.
Jamie Feldman
Analyst, Wells Fargo
Okay, that's all for me.
Lucas
Conference Operator
Thanks. Your next question comes from the line of Eric Borden with BMO Capital Markets. Eric, please go ahead.
Eric Borden
Analyst, BMO Capital Markets
Great. Thanks for taking the question. On the reverse inquiries that you're receiving, you know, where are the bids relative to your view of the asset value? And then are buyers still financing and closing at those levels? Are you kind of seeing the same retrading pressures you described on acquisitions?
Bill Lenehan
Chief Executive Officer
I would say that because we haven't sold assets for a couple of years now, we have a number of people who are very specifically interested in an asset that might be in their local market. It might be where they have a second home. And we're reassessing those opportunities first. There's also a tax dynamic with bonus depreciation. that may end on January 1st. So there's a lot of activity in the market right now for assets like gas stations and car washes that benefit from bonus depreciation. We don't have a lot of those, but we do have some.
Eric Borden
Analyst, BMO Capital Markets
Okay, perfect. And then one for Patrick. Could you quantify the state tax catch-up and any other non-recurring items that affected the third quarter? And then as those costs fall away and the recent acquisitions contribute to a full quarter, how should we think about the underlying earnings run rate heading into 2027? I know you're just curious on any.
Patrick Wernig
Chief Financial Officer
Yeah, so it's a very specific question, very granular. If there's a need to sink on it offline, I'm happy to do that. I would just say that the state tax issue was unique in that the dispute started during COVID. I think the state, the specific state, which was Oklahoma, just took several years to review the complaint that we had about what it was. It wasn't a huge number, call it approximately $100,000. It's non-recurring. And the only reason we mention it, frankly, is because we usually don't have anything out of the norm. And so it just felt like we should highlight that with moving part of the
Bill Lenehan
Chief Executive Officer
Yeah, there were costs related to our credit facility that, in some instances, people might assume were capitalized that were expensed. That also hit the quarter. So there were, as we mentioned, a handful of things that made it a little bit more noisy in the quarter than we would have anticipated.
Eric Borden
Analyst, BMO Capital Markets
Great. Thanks, Bill.
Lucas
Conference Operator
Our next question comes from the line of Rich Hightower with Barclays. Rich, please go ahead.
Rich Hightower
Analyst, Barclays
Hey guys, good morning out there. When on the share repurchases, just help us understand the arithmetic on how you came up with the $100 million figure, you know, some combination obviously of pre-cash flow, a lot of other moving parts as well that you've kind of gone through, but just help us understand the buildup to get to that figure.
Bill Lenehan
Chief Executive Officer
Yeah, I wouldn't overthink it. It's a number that is self-determined. When used, we can reauthorize it. with a simple email to our board. So I wouldn't think too much about it at all.
Rich Hightower
Analyst, Barclays
Okay. I will not overthink it. And then secondly, back to the joint venture topic, you know, I know it's obviously very preliminary, but since it's kind of out there for discussion now, you know, is this something that you envision? It could be more of a one-off. are you having multiple conversations along those lines? Obviously, we've seen different flavors of the same thing sort of up and down the sector and even broadly across REITs. So just curious for what the thought is there.
Bill Lenehan
Chief Executive Officer
I think at a high level, the demand for net lease in the private market is very strong. And I think it's, and this, The stock prices of the public companies are generally weak, ours included. So I think it points that having the flexibility to invest both public and private capital, at least at this moment in time, is a valuable thing. And I think it's a good way to free up capital to buy back stock.
Rich Hightower
Analyst, Barclays
Okay.

Your next question comes from the line of Mitch Germain with Citizens Bank. Mitch, please go ahead.
Mitch Germain
Analyst, Citizens Bank
Sorry about that. Lots of noise around Wendy's. Is there any exposure in your portfolio with that tenant?
Patrick Wernig
Chief Financial Officer
Not meaningful. We have a handful of them. You know, I think it's not a meaningful framework.
Bill Lenehan
Chief Executive Officer
And I would also say, Mitch, we've seen and I would by no means expect Wendy's to be problematic, but we have seen some very positive results with QSR brands migrating from Midland brands to very strong brands because the replacement cost and the drive-through entitlements are super valuable.
Patrick Wernig
Chief Financial Officer
I'd point out that to the extent it's useful to you, Mitch, we do have on our website a list of all the properties that we own in the portfolio published So that's a reminder to our investors that that's a resource and transparency that we're trying to provide them.
Mitch Germain
Analyst, Citizens Bank
Super helpful. I think last question, Bill, you were pretty bullish on, I'm not asking for guidance, I want to say that, but you were pretty bullish on growth prospects last quarter, almost frustrating. And you almost get the full quarter benefit of that bigger mission transaction this quarter. And I recognize There's just a lot of noise in your numbers here throughout the quarter. But, you know, how should we think about, you know, kind of the growth prospects of kind of what you've just accomplished over the course of the year and what it could mean for you guys going forward?
Bill Lenehan
Chief Executive Officer
Yeah. I mean, I really am looking out not quarter to quarter or, you know, in for a quarter. I'm looking out for 27, 28. I really believe that what we did with our balance sheet, what we did on mission pet health, our sort of ruthlessness on corporate overhead puts us in a really good position for 27 and 28. And if the stock price remains low, our ability to create value by buying back stock makes that even more so.
Michael Goldsmith
Analyst, UBS
Thank you.
Lucas
Conference Operator
Your next question comes from the line of Jamie Feldman with Wells Fargo. Jamie, please go ahead. Oh, great. Thanks for taking the follow-up.
Jamie Feldman
Analyst, Wells Fargo
So you had mentioned potentially JV as a source of capital. I'm just curious if you could provide more color given we're seeing more and more of that across REIT land. You know, how do you think about a potential size? How do you think about the types of assets or types of tenants you'd want to put into those assets? and I guess with some of the Darden extensions, would that make sense for a JV? But any other color you could provide on what that might look like would be great.
Bill Lenehan
Chief Executive Officer
Yeah, I'm not going to negotiate the terms of a JV on our conference call. I would just say that what I said before, which is there's lots of demand for our high quality portfolio and there's a lot of value in our platform and there's a lot of capitals switching around in private markets and we're attuned to that. but the market out there is pretty volatile and we're certainly not at an advanced stage in those discussions. We will announce it when and if it's finalist.

Okay, so it sounds like it's not a high priority. It's just an option. I wouldn't say that.

We have reached the end of the Q&A session. I will now turn the call back to Bill Lenehan for closing remarks.
Bill Lenehan
Chief Executive Officer
Thank you, Lucas. The first nine months of 2026 have been unprecedented for FCPT. We've exceeded our record annual investment volume by completing the largest acquisition in our history and accelerated the diversification of our portfolio. We also executed the first renewal tranche of the expiring Olive Garden and Longhorn properties at a 100% renewal rate, demonstrating the durability and strength of the portfolio. and we extended nearly 40% of our balance sheet at an approximately 5% or lower coupon. Finally, we've activated our inaugural fair repurchase program. Our portfolio is performing incredibly well with occupancy, rent collections, tenant coverage and leasing outcomes amongst the strongest in net lease. Our consistency has set us up with the tools that we can help create value in any environment. Our team will be at the NAIRI Atlanta Conference in November and the Jefferies Conference in December. We welcome the opportunity to meet in person. Please reach out to either Patrick or myself to coordinate schedules. Thank you.
