Reported FFO / AFFO / leverage are from the Q1 2026 earnings release (filed 2026-05-08) — 8-K, EX-99.1.

FFO, AFFO and Net debt / Adj. EBITDA are the company's reported figures from its latest earnings 8-K. Price/OCF and payout use GAAP operating cash flow. NAV premium and credit ratings have no free source yet. See Methodology.
