Innovative Industrial Properties Inc. (NYSE:IIPR), a $1.56 billion market cap REIT currently offering an impressive 13.6% dividend yield, has expanded its at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program by adding two new financial institutions as sales agents, forward sellers, and forward purchasers. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains strong liquidity with a current ratio of 2.46 and operates with moderate debt levels. The addition was made official on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, when the real estate investment trust (REIT) specializing in properties leased to the medical-use cannabis industry entered into additional equity distribution agreements with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated and A.G.P. / Alliance Global Partners (NYSE:GLP).
The company, which originally had an agreement to sell up to $500 million of its shares, disclosed that approximately $479.8 million worth of shares remain available for sale under the ATM prospectus. This includes both its common stock and its 9.00% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. InvestingPro analysis shows the company is trading at attractive valuation multiples, with an EV/EBITDA of 7.28x and P/E ratio of 10.59x.
The ATM offering is conducted under the company’s shelf registration statement, which became effective on February 21, 2025, and has been supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated February 26, 2025. The latest prospectus supplement was dated May 13, 2025.
The new agreements are in line with the terms and conditions of the original equity distribution agreements dated May 24, 2024. These agreements allow for the issuance and sale of shares through sales agents and also permit the company to enter into forward sale agreements under master forward sale agreements with forward sellers or their affiliates.
The shares will be offered pursuant to the company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 and related prospectus supplements, which may be amended or supplemented from time to time. The forward sale agreements are intended to provide the company with added flexibility to manage its capital needs.
This expansion of the ATM program is part of Innovative Industrial Properties’ broader strategy to support its growth initiatives and strengthen its balance sheet. The company’s focus on providing real estate capital to the regulated cannabis industry has positioned it as a leading player in the REIT space.
