Quarterly Report for Quarter Ending March 31, 2026 (Form 10-Q)
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Words such as "may," "could," "should," "expect," "intend," "plan," "goal," "seek," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "variables," "potential," "continue," "expand," "maintain," "create," "strategies," "likely," "will," "would" and variations of these terms and similar expressions, or the negative of these terms or similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but reflect the intent, belief or current expectations of the management of Inland Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (which we refer to herein as the "Company," "we," "our" or "us") based on their knowledge and understanding of the business and industry, the economy and other future conditions. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, and we caution stockholders not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors, including but not limited to the factors listed and described under "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 11, 2026, some of which are summarized below:
•
As part of the review of strategic alternatives, our board decided not to pursue the sale of the Company at the present time. There is no assurance that we will pursue an alternative liquidity event in the near future, if at all. We have limited sources of capital and thus a limited ability to increase our asset base or to fund other needs including share repurchases;
•
There are inherent risks with real estate investments. For example, an investment in real estate cannot generally be quickly sold, limiting our ability to promptly vary our portfolio in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions. Investments in real estate assets also are subject to adverse changes in general economic conditions which, for example, reduce the demand for rental space;
•
Volatility in the financial markets and challenging economic conditions including market disruptions and uncertainties resulting from any future global pandemic or epidemic, ongoing hostilities in various parts of the world and other geopolitical events affecting the financing markets generally such as tariffs, changes in governmental programs or spending, volatility in interest rates, supply chain shortages that affect our tenants or other disruptions caused by events beyond our control, may adversely impact the economy generally and the retail sector in particular. Volatility and market disruptions, could adversely affect our ability to secure debt financing on attractive terms and our ability to service any future indebtedness that we may incur;
•
We have incurred net losses on a GAAP basis for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and for the year ended December 31, 2025;
•
Our Business Manager and its affiliates face conflicts of interest caused by, among other things, their compensation arrangements with us, the allocation of personnel and resources between its affiliates, our Business Manager and our Real Estate Manager and overlapping leadership roles certain of our executive officers have with the Business Manager and its affiliates, which could result in actions that are not in our long-term best interests;
•
We do not have arm's-length agreements with our Business Manager, our Real Estate Manager or any other affiliates of our Sponsor and we pay fees, which may be significant, to our Business Manager, Real Estate Manager and other affiliates of our Sponsor;
•
Our properties may compete with the properties owned by other programs sponsored by an affiliate of our Sponsor;
•
Our Business Manager is under no obligation, and may not agree, to forgo or defer its business management fee; and
•
If we fail to continue to qualify as a REIT, our operations and distributions to stockholders, if any, will be adversely affected.
Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect our management's view only as of the date of this Quarterly Report, and may ultimately prove to be incorrect or false. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results except as required by applicable law. We intend for these forward-looking statements to be covered by the applicable safe harbor provisions created by Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act.
The following discussion and analysis relates to the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 and as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Our stockholders should read the following discussion and analysis along with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We routinely post important information about us and our business, including financial and other information for investors, on our website. We encourage investors to visit our website at inland-investments.com/inland-income-trust from time to time, as information is updated and new information is posted.
Overview
We were formed as a Maryland corporation on August 24, 2011 to acquire and manage a portfolio of commercial real estate investments located in the United States. We elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes ("REIT") under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with the tax year ended December 31, 2013. Our business plan focuses primarily on acquiring and owning a portfolio substantially all of which is comprised of grocery-anchored properties. The Business Manager continues to evaluate our business plan and strategy, including considering and presenting alternatives and enhancements for board review with a view towards being able to increase the Company's assets and cash flow on an accretive basis as well as to enhance the Company's capital (primarily equity) and provide liquidity to stockholders over time.
We raised equity capital through a "best efforts" offering that commenced on October 18, 2012 and concluded on October 16, 2015. We sold 33,534,022 shares of common stock in the offering generating gross proceeds of $834.4 million. We have not raised any further equity capital through an underwritten or best-efforts basis since the offering was completed. We have also generated equity capital through the sale of shares through our DRP. As noted herein, the DRP was suspended in September 2024 until February 2026. Since inception until March 31, 2026, we had issued a total of 6,760,659 shares through the DRP generating aggregate proceeds of $148 million. Although the DRP was recently reinstated, there is no assurance that stockholders will continue to participate at the level before suspension. We have also used, and may continue to use, various sources of debt capital to fund acquisitions and other capital and operating needs as further described.
As of March 31, 2026, we owned 52 retail properties, totaling 7.2 million square feet located in 24 states. A majority of our properties are multi-tenant, necessity-based retail shopping centers located primarily in major regional markets and growing secondary markets throughout the United States. As of March 31, 2026, grocery-anchored or grocery shadow-anchored shopping center properties represented 87% of our annualized base rent. A grocery shadow-anchored shopping center is a shopping center near a grocery store that we do not own and is not a part of our shopping center but that we believe generates traffic for our shopping center. As of March 31, 2026, our portfolio had physical and economic occupancy of 92.4% and 92.6%, respectively. Physical and economic occupancy both increased approximately 0.4% compared to physical and economic occupancy of 92.0% and 92.2%, respectively, as of December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, annualized base rent ("ABR") per square foot averaged $20.19 for all owned properties. ABR is calculated by annualizing the monthly base rent for leases in-place as of the applicable date, excluding ground leases. ABR including ground leases averaged $17.28 as of March 31, 2026. There were no completed acquisitions or dispositions during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
On March 12, 2026, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of The Village at Burlington Creek property for a purchase price of $34 million. The property will be classified as held for sale upon the buyer's completion of due diligence and the removal of all contingencies that provide the buyer with a refundable termination right. We expect to complete the sale of the property in the second quarter of 2026. The Company currently expects to use substantially all of the net proceeds to repay outstanding borrowings under its Credit Facility.
We have no employees and are externally managed and advised by IREIT Business Manager & Advisor, Inc. (the "Business Manager"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation, referred to herein as our "Sponsor" pursuant to an agreement that expires on March 31, 2027. Under this agreement, we pay fees to and reimburse certain expenses incurred by the Business Manager for the services provided to us. This fee was reduced dollar-for-dollar for amounts we paid to Mark Zalatoris during the time he served as the Company's president and chief executive officer. Mr. Zalatoris resigned from his positions as president and chief executive officer effective February 2, 2026. Effective as of the same date, Bernard Michael was appointed as the Company's president and chief executive officer. As a result of this transition, the Business Manager now directly compensates Mr. Michael. Accordingly, beginning in February 2026, we pay the Business Manager the full fee it is entitled to under our agreement with the Business Manager. We do not reimburse the Business Manager for any compensation it pays to any person serving as one of our executive officers. Our properties are managed by Inland Commercial Real Estate Services LLC, also an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of our Sponsor.
Inflation and Interest Rates
Inflationary pressures, volatility in interest rates, and the imposition of new duties, tariffs, trade barriers and retaliatory countermeasures by the U.S. and other governments, could all reduce consumer spending and adversely impact retailer profitability, particularly if rates
rise which may impact our ability to increase rents as well as tenant demand for new and existing store locations. Regardless of inflation levels, base rent under most of our long-term anchor leases remain constant (subject to tenants' exercise of renewal options at pre-negotiated rent increases) until the expiration of their lease terms, regardless of the inflation rate for any period. While many of our leases require tenants to pay their share of shopping center operating expenses (including common area maintenance, real estate tax and insurance expenses), our ability to collect the expense increases passed through to tenants is dependent on their ability to absorb and pay these increases. Inflation may also impact other aspects of our operating costs, including fees paid to service providers, the cost to complete redevelopments and build-outs of recently leased vacancies and interest rate costs relating to variable rate loans and refinancing of lower fixed-rate indebtedness. While we have not been significantly impacted by any of these items to date, no assurances can be provided that these inflationary pressures will not have a material adverse effect on our business in the future.

Annualized base rent represents the rent in-place for the applicable property as of March 31, 2026. The table below includes ground leases. If ground leases are excluded, annualized base rent would equal $104,763 or $20.19 per square foot for total expiring leases.

We have funded our capital needs primarily through cash flow from operations and through draws on the Credit Facility, if needed.
As of March 31, 2026, we had total debt outstanding of $840 million, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, which bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 4.66% per annum. As of March 31, 2026, the weighted average years to maturity for our debt was 3.0 years, not taking into account any extension options that may be exercised at our option. As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our borrowings were 52% of the purchase price of our investment properties. As of March 31, 2026, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $9 million.
As of March 31, 2026, we had $265 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $575 million outstanding under the Term Loan. As of March 31, 2026, the interest rates on the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan were 5.58% per annum and 4.24% per annum, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, the interest rates on the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan were 6.33% per annum and 4.30% per annum, respectively. Each of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan matures on April 1, 2029, subject to a twelve month extension at our option. As of both May 6, 2026 and March 31, 2026, we had $20 million available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to various terms and conditions, including compliance with the covenants which could further limit the amount available of the credit agreement that governs the Credit Facility. See "Risk Factors-The financial covenants under our credit agreement may restrict our ability to make distributions and our operating and acquisition activities. If we breach the financial covenants we could be held in default under the credit agreement, which could accelerate our repayment date and materially adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for further information.
On January 30, 2026, we drew $19 million on the Revolving Credit Facility to repay indebtedness secured by a mortgage on the Milford Marketplace property, which had an outstanding principal balance of $18.7 million and was repaid in full on January 30, 2026. Subsequent to the payoff, the property was added to the borrowing base for the Credit Facility.
As of both May 6, 2026 and March 31, 2026, all of our properties comprised the borrowing base for the Credit Facility. We may not use any property to secure debt on any particular property without removing the property from the borrowing base. Doing so would, however, reduce the amount that we may draw under the Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2026, we have paid all interest and principal amounts when due, and were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Facility, as amended.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we used $2.9 million to invest in capital expenditures and tenant improvements, which was approximately $2.2 million less than we invested during the three months ended March 31, 2025. For the remainder of 2026, we anticipate investing approximately $14.5 million for capital expenditures and tenant improvements. Capital expenditures and tenant improvements are funded by cash flows generated from operations during current or prior periods.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, cash used related to debt increased $1.6 million from the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to a $2.0 million paydown on the credit facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we paid $4.9 million in distributions on our common stock. As noted herein, in connection with the board's review of strategic alternatives, the DRP and SRP were both suspended effective October 1, 2024 and have been reinstated effective February 1, 2026. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, there were no share repurchases.
Although the DRP was reinstated effective February 1, 2026, stockholders were required to affirmatively elect reinvestment of any future distributions we may pay through the DRP. Since the reinstatement of the DRP, we have generated significantly lower proceeds than we generated prior to its suspension. There can be no assurance that future proceeds will be comparable to those generated before the suspension. In addition, the terms of the SRP were recently revised. Although shares were previously repurchased at a discount to the then-current Estimated Per Share NAV at the time of repurchase, under the Sixth SRP, to the extent the board authorizes repurchases during any particular period, the repurchase price will be equal to the then-current Estimated Per Share NAV for "Exceptional Repurchases" and equal to 80% of the then-current Estimated Per Share NAV for "Ordinary Repurchases" as those terms are defined in the SRP.
Distributions
Distributions when declared are paid quarterly in arrears. A summary of the distributions declared, distributions paid and cash flows provided by operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 follows (Dollar amounts in thousands except per share amounts):

Results of Operations
This section describes and compares our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Dollar amounts are stated in thousands.
We generate our net operating income from property operations. All 52 investment properties we currently own were held for the entirety of both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Net operating income is a supplemental non-GAAP performance measure that we believe is useful to investors in measuring the operating performance of our property portfolio because our primary business is the ownership of real estate, and net operating income excludes various items included in GAAP net income that do not relate to, or are not indicative of, our property operating performance, such as depreciation and amortization and parent-level corporate expenses (including general and administrative expenses).
The following tables present the property net operating income prior to straight-line income (expense), net, amortization of intangibles, interest, and depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, along with a reconciliation to net loss, calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Net loss. Net loss was $2,249 and $2,601 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Total property net operating income. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, property net operating income decreased $103, total property income increased $167, and total property operating expenses including real estate tax expense increased $270.
The increase in total property income is primarily due to an increase in base rent in new leases and step-up rent on existing leases. The increase in property operating expenses is primarily due to increases in the following: (i) $147 in repairs and maintenance expense due to the timing of projects, (ii) $88 in landscaping expense, (iii) $79 in utility expense, (iv) $59 in insurance expense, (v) $36 in direct recovery expenses and (vi) $35 in management fee and payroll expense, partially offset by a decrease of $411 in non-recoverable expenses.
Straight-line income (expense), net. Straight-line income (expense), net decreased $87 in 2026 compared to 2025. The decrease is primarily due to lower rent abatements in 2026.
Amortization of intangibles and lease incentives. Income from intangibles and lease incentives increased $25 in 2026 compared to 2025. The increase is primarily due to fully amortized acquired above market leases.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased $600 in 2026 compared to 2025. The decrease is primarily due to professional fees incurred in connection with the review of strategic alternatives in 2025 that did not recur in 2026.
Business management fee. Business management fees increased $85 in 2026 compared to 2025. The increase is primarily due to a reduction in amounts paid to Mr. Zalatoris in 2026 under the CEO agreement, which had previously reduced our payment under the Business Management Agreement on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Because we do not reimburse the Business Manager for any amounts it pays to Mr. Michael, our newly elected president and chief executive officer, effective February 2, 2026, the fee that we pay to the Business Manager is no longer reduced, resulting in increased fees in 2026.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased $171 in 2026 compared to 2025. The decrease is primarily due to a larger amount of fully amortized assets in 2026 compared to 2025.
Interest expense. Interest expense increased $167 in 2026 compared to 2025. The increase is primarily due to higher average borrowings and higher average interest rate.
Interest and other income. Interest and other income decreased $2 in 2026 compared to 2025.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Estimates
"Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Estimates" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 11, 2026, contains a description of our critical accounting estimates. There have been no changes to our critical accounting estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes the value of real estate assets is reduced over time due primarily to non-cash depreciation and amortization expense. Because real estate values may rise and fall with market conditions, operating results from real estate companies that use GAAP accounting may not present a complete view of their performance. We use Funds from Operations, or "FFO", a widely accepted metric to evaluate our performance. FFO provides a supplemental measure to compare our performance and operations to other REITs. Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or "NAREIT", has promulgated a standard known as FFO, which it believes more accurately reflects the operating performance of a REIT. On November 7, 2018, NAREIT's Executive Board approved the White Paper restatement, effective December 15, 2018. The purpose of the restatement was not to change the fundamental definition of FFO but to clarify existing guidance. The restated definition of FFO by NAREIT is net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of certain real estate assets, excluding impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate and excluding gains and losses from change in control. We have adopted the restated NAREIT definition for computing FFO. Previously presented periods were not impacted.
Under GAAP, acquisition related costs are treated differently if the acquisition is a business combination or an asset acquisition. An acquisition of a single property will likely be treated as an asset acquisition as opposed to a business combination and acquisition related costs will be capitalized rather than expensed when incurred. Publicly registered, non-listed REITs typically engage in a significant amount of acquisition activity in the early years of their operations, and thus incur significant acquisition related costs, during these initial years. Although other start up entities may engage in significant acquisition activity during their initial years, publicly registered, non-listed REITs are unique in that they typically have a limited timeframe during which they acquire a significant number of properties and thus incur significant acquisition related costs. Due to the above factors and other unique features of publicly registered, non-listed REITs, the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives, or "IPA", an industry trade group, published a standardized measure known as Modified Funds from Operations, or "MFFO", which the IPA has promulgated as a supplemental measure for publicly registered non-listed REITs and which may be another appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a non-listed REIT. We believe it is appropriate to use MFFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance because we believe that, when compared year-over-year, it reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income.
MFFO excludes expensed costs associated with investing activities, some of which are acquisition related costs that affect our operations only in periods in which properties are acquired, and other non-operating items that are included in FFO, such as straight-lining of rents as required by GAAP. By excluding costs that we consider more reflective of acquisition activities and other non-operating items, the use of MFFO provides another measure of our operating performance once our portfolio is stabilized. Because MFFO may be a recognized measure of operating performance within the non-listed REIT industry, MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it may be useful in order to evaluate our performance against other non-listed REITs. Like FFO, MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP, as detailed in the table below, and MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we continue to acquire a significant amount of properties. MFFO should only be used as a measurement of our operating performance while we are acquiring a significant amount of properties because it excludes, among other things, acquisition costs incurred during the periods in which properties were acquired.
We believe our definition of MFFO, a non-GAAP measure, is consistent with the IPA's Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations, or the "Practice Guideline," issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for the following items, as applicable, included in the determination of GAAP net income: acquisition fees and expenses; amounts relating to straight-line rents and amortization of above and below market lease assets and liabilities, accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; nonrecurring gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis.
Our presentation of FFO and MFFO may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other REITs. We believe that the use of FFO and MFFO provides a more complete understanding of our operating performance to stockholders and to management, and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs. Neither FFO nor MFFO is intended to be an alternative to "net income" or to "cash flows from operating activities" as determined by GAAP as a measure of our capacity to pay distributions. Management uses FFO and MFFO to compare our operating performance to that of other REITs and to assess our operating performance.
Our FFO and MFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are calculated as follows:
