Revenue & EPS history

The Company is updating its 2021 AFFO per share guidance by raising both the lower and upper ends of the expected range. The Company currently expects 2021 AFFO per share to be within a range of $1.28 to $1.34, up from $1.27 to $1.33 as initially presented in February 2021, due to an increased level of confidence in our ability to execute on our growth objectives supported by a robust pipeline of attractive acquisition opportunities along with the favorable repricing or our largest unsecured term loan. Our expected level of investments and dispositions of real estate properties, and total cash general and administrative expenses, remains consistent with previously issued guidance.
