Management Comments
“FCPT started the year off strong, continuing the momentum from the end of 2024. We accomplished the highest first quarter acquisition volume in company history, acquiring over $56 million of properties leased to national brands at attractive pricing,” said CEO Bill Lenehan. “While the market has continued to be volatile, we have raised significant equity and increased our revolver capacity. Our liquidity is at record levels, and we have lowered our leverage profile to its lowest level in seven years.”

Credit Facility and Unsecured Notes
- As announced on January 31, 2025, FCPT entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement increases the overall size of the facility from $765 million to $940 million by increasing the revolving credit facility capacity to $350 million and entering into a new $225 million term loan (the “Term Loan”). Both the Term Loan and revolving credit facility mature in February 2029, and may be extended up to one-year at the Company’s discretion, subject to certain conditions. The Term Loan was used, in part, to pay down $150 million of loans maturing in November 2025. Additionally, FCPT’s lenders agreed to provide a one-year extension option for the $100 million of term loans maturing in November 2026 at the Company’s discretion, subject to certain conditions.
- On March 31, 2025, FCPT had $1,215 million of outstanding debt, consisting of $590 million of term loans and $625 million of unsecured fixed rate notes and no outstanding revolver balance.
