EPR Properties owns and finances properties where people go to watch films, play golf and take part in other leisure activities. These experiential properties generate most of its revenue. Operators generally rent its properties under long-term leases and pay substantially all property operating and maintenance costs. Rent usually rises periodically, and some leases add payments when an operator’s sales exceed an agreed level. EPR also provides mortgages to operators and collects interest, aiming to earn more from rent and lending than it pays for capital.
Topgolf, AMC and Regal each supply a substantial share of revenue. Topgolf pays rent or mortgage interest on golf entertainment complexes, while AMC and Regal are major theatre tenants. EPR therefore depends on these operators’ ability to pay, which in turn relies on consumers spending on outings and, for theatres, a steady supply of appealing films.
A smaller, legacy portfolio consists of early childhood education centres and private schools. EPR plans to sell these investments over time and reinvest the proceeds in experiential properties. As a real estate investment trust, or REIT, it must distribute most of its taxable income to shareholders, limiting the capital it can retain for new investments and making growth dependent in part on raising outside funding.
The risk section is the longest, dullest part of the filing. This keeps only what can really hurt you: where it hits, how hard, when it plays out.
Every company claims an edge. Each one is checked against hard numbers like margins and returns: which hold, and which line gives way first.
EPR Properties’ rent and financing income depend heavily on Topgolf, AMC and Cineworld/Regal, which together accounted for 39.3% of 2025 revenue but are absent from this list.
VICI Properties and EPR Properties both fund entertainment, leisure and wellness properties, collecting long-term rent from operators that also cover property expenses, so leisure spending and funding costs matter to both. VICI’s rent from gaming and hospitality tenants offers a comparison for the pressures on EPR’s experiential tenants.
Essential Properties Realty Trust, Inc. competes with EPR Properties to supply experience-based operators with long-term property funding, earning rent and mortgage interest. Its financing deals with smaller and middle-market businesses show where operators are finding alternatives to bank debt.
Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. and EPR Properties both need leisure operators to keep paying rent and property returns to exceed funding costs: GLPI funds gaming venues, while EPR funds experiential venues. GLPI’s loans that turn into rent when projects are completed or stabilized offer a comparison for EPR’s construction-to-long-term financing business.
Realty Income and EPR Properties both grow rental income by funding and buying properties occupied by operators that pay rent and most property expenses, making funding costs relative to acquisition returns important to both. Realty Income’s fixed or inflation-linked rent increases provide a comparison for growth from existing leases rather than new purchases.
W.P. Carey Inc. (REIT) and EPR Properties both provide long-term property capital to businesses, so contractual rent is only as dependable as tenants’ ability to pay. W.P. Carey’s lease compliance and tenant-credit monitoring across industrial, warehouse and retail properties offers a comparison for EPR’s tenant payment risk.
NNN REIT, Inc. and EPR Properties both need returns on property acquisitions and development to exceed their cost of capital to grow; tenants pay long-term rent and property operating expenses. NNN’s ability to raise capital and secure single-tenant, freestanding properties is a useful comparison for EPR’s ability to fund new investments.
Essential Properties Realty Trust, Inc. earningsEPRT
Essential Properties Realty Trust, Inc. provides long-term property funding to experience-based operators, and its report will show whether they are still finding financing from landlords competing with EPR Properties.
Look for whether Essential Properties’ financing activity and rental growth remain firm. If both do, operators are still obtaining property capital from other landlords, intensifying competition for EPR Properties; if both weaken, alternatives may be shrinking, but that alone does not establish stronger demand for EPR Properties.
EPR Properties earningsThis company
EPR Properties turns long-term rent and mortgage interest into income, and this report will show whether tenant payments and rent growth are still supporting FFOAA per share.
Read FFOAA per share alongside tenant payment trends. FFOAA is a non-GAAP measure of property operating performance; continued growth with major tenants paying as agreed would show rent increases and income from other properties are outweighing concentration risk. Slower growth or payment trouble would show that reliance on a few theatre and Topgolf-related tenants is weighing on income.
VICI Properties Inc. earningsVICI
VICI Properties collects rent from gaming and hospitality operators, and its report will show whether their payments and property income are holding up, offering a read on pressures facing EPR Properties’ experience-based tenants.
Read VICI Properties’ rent collection alongside its rental income. If both hold up, its gaming and hospitality operators are still paying and the income base for leisure properties appears steady; if collections or income weaken, those operators are under pressure, putting EPR Properties’ experience-based tenants on the watch list, though the tenants are not the same.
Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. earningsGLPI
Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. funds gaming venues and can convert loans into rent when projects are completed or stabilized; its report will show how smoothly that path from construction funding to rental income is working, a comparison for EPR Properties.
Look at how much of GLPI’s construction lending converts into rental income, and whether project timing or returns fall short. Smooth conversion with rent covering funding costs would show that construction financing can produce recurring income; delays or inadequate returns would point to execution and financing-cost risks for EPR Properties to weigh in its own development commitments.
Realty Income Corporation earningsO
Realty Income raises rent through fixed or inflation-linked lease increases, and its report will show whether existing leases are adding growth, a comparison for EPR Properties’ own rent increases.
Look at rent growth from Realty Income’s existing properties, separating lease increases from growth due to new acquisitions. If existing leases contribute steadily, contractual increases are adding income; if growth mainly comes from purchases, older leases are contributing less, and EPR Properties’ rent growth should likewise be read separately from new investment.
