NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

Four Corners Property Trust, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “FCPT”) is an independent, publicly traded, self-administered company, primarily engaged in the ownership, acquisition and leasing of restaurant properties. Substantially all of our business is conducted through Four Corners Operating Partnership, LP (“FCPT OP”), a Delaware limited partnership of which we are the initial and substantial limited partner. Our wholly owned subsidiary, Four Corners GP, LLC (“FCPT GP”), is its sole general partner.

Any references to “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to FCPT as an independent, publicly traded, self-administered company.

FCPT was incorporated as a Maryland corporation on July 2, 2015 as a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Darden Restaurants, Inc., (together with its consolidated subsidiaries “Darden”), for the purpose of owning, acquiring and leasing properties on a triple-net basis, for use in the restaurant and other retail industries. On November 9, 2015, Darden completed a spin-off of FCPT whereby Darden contributed to us 100% of the equity interest in entities that owned 418 properties in which Darden operates restaurants, representing 5 of their brands, and 6 LongHorn Steakhouse restaurants located in the San Antonio, Texas area (the “Kerrow Restaurant Operating Business”) along with the underlying properties or interests therein associated with the Kerrow Restaurant Operating Business. In exchange, we issued to Darden all of our common stock and paid to Darden $315.0 million in cash. Subsequently, Darden distributed all of our outstanding shares of common stock pro rata to holders of Darden common stock whereby each Darden shareholder received one share of our common stock for every three shares of Darden common stock held at the close of business on the record date, which was November 2, 2015, as well as cash in lieu of any fractional shares of our common stock which they would have otherwise received.

We believe that we have been organized and have operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) for federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2016, and we intend to continue to operate in a manner that will enable us to maintain our qualification as a REIT. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our shareholders, subject to certain adjustments and excluding any net capital gain. As a REIT, we will not be subject to federal corporate income tax on that portion of net income that is distributed to our shareholders. However, FCPT’s taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”) will generally be subject to federal, state, and local income taxes. We made our REIT election upon the filing of our 2016 tax return.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements (the “Consolidated Financial Statements”) include the accounts of Four Corners Property Trust, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. These adjustments are considered to be of a normal, recurring nature.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The estimates and assumptions used in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are based on management’s evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements, and such differences could be material.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Unaudited)

Real Estate Investments, Net

Real estate investments, net are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Building components are depreciated over estimated useful lives ranging from seven to fifty-five years using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements, which are reflected on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of buildings, equipment, and improvements, net are amortized over the lesser of the non-cancelable lease term or the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method. Equipment is depreciated over estimated useful lives ranging from two to fifteen years also using the straight-line method. Real estate development and construction costs for newly constructed restaurants are capitalized in the period in which they are incurred. Gains and losses on the disposal of land, buildings, and equipment are included in realized gain on sale, net, in our accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income (“Income Statements”).

Our accounting policies regarding land, buildings, equipment, and improvements, include our judgments regarding the estimated useful lives of these assets, the residual values to which the assets are depreciated or amortized, the determination of what constitutes a reasonably assured lease term, and the determination as to what constitutes enhancing the value of or increasing the life of existing assets. These judgments and estimates may produce materially different amounts of reported depreciation and amortization expense if different assumptions were used. As discussed further below, these judgments may also impact our need to recognize an impairment charge on the carrying amount of these assets as the cash flows associated with the assets are realized, or as our expectations of estimated future cash flows change.

Acquisition of Real Estate

The Company evaluates acquisitions to determine whether transactions should be accounted for as asset acquisitions or business combinations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01. The Company has determined the land, building, site improvements, and in-places leases (if any) of assets acquired were each single assets as the building and property improvements are attached to the land and cannot be physically removed and used separately from the land without incurring significant costs or reducing their fair value. Additionally, the Company has not acquired a substantive process used to generate outputs. As substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a single identifiable asset and there were no processes acquired, the acquisitions do not qualify as a business and are accounted for as asset acquisitions. Related transaction costs are generally capitalized and amortized over the useful life of the acquired assets.

The Company allocates the purchase price (including acquisition and closing costs) of real estate acquisitions to land, building, and improvements based on their relative fair values. The determination of the building fair value is on an ‘as-if-vacant’ basis. Value is allocated to acquired lease intangibles (if any) based on the costs avoided and revenue recognized by acquiring the property subject to lease and avoiding an otherwise ‘dark period’. In making estimates of fair values for this purpose, the Company uses a third-party specialist that obtains various information about each property, as well as the pre-acquisition due diligence of the Company and prior leasing activities at the site.

Lease Intangibles

Lease intangibles, if any, acquired in conjunction with the purchase of real estate represent the value of in-place leases and above- or below-market leases. For real estate acquired subject to existing lease agreements, acquired lease intangibles are valued based on the Company’s estimates of costs related to tenant acquisition and the asset carrying costs, including lost revenue, that would be incurred during the time it would take to locate a tenant if the property were vacant, considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases at the time of the acquisition. Above-market and below-market lease intangibles are recorded based on the present value of the difference between the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the leases at the time of acquisition of the real estate and the Company’s estimate of current market lease rates for the property, measured over a period equal to the remaining initial term of the lease.

In-place lease intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining initial term of the related lease and included in depreciation and amortization expense. Above-market lease intangibles are amortized over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases as a decrease in rental revenue. Below-market lease intangibles are generally amortized as an increase to rental revenue over the remaining initial term of the respective leases, but may be amortized over the renewal periods if the Company believes it is likely the tenant will exercise the renewal option. Should a lease terminate early, the

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Unaudited)

unamortized portion of any related lease intangible is immediately recognized as an impairment loss included in depreciation and amortization expense. To date, the Company has not had significant early terminations.

Finance ground lease assets are also included in lease intangible assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Leases below for additional information.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Land, buildings and equipment and certain other assets, including definite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Such events and changes may include macroeconomic conditions, including those caused by global pandemics, like the recent coronavirus disease pandemic (“COVID-19”) and restrictions intended to prevent its spread, which may result in property operational disruption and indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. Identifiable cash flows are measured at the lowest level for which they are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities, generally at the restaurant level. If these assets are determined to be impaired, the amount of impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their fair value. Fair value is generally determined by appraisals or sales prices of comparable assets.

The judgments we make related to the expected useful lives of long-lived assets and our ability to realize undiscounted cash flows in excess of the carrying amounts of these assets are affected by factors such as the ongoing maintenance and improvements of the assets, changes in economic conditions, changes in usage or operating performance, desirability of the restaurant sites and other factors, such as our ability to sell our assets held for sale. As we assess the ongoing expected cash flows and carrying amounts of our long-lived assets, significant adverse changes in these factors could cause us to realize a material impairment loss.

Exit or disposal activities include the cost of disposing of the assets and are generally expensed as incurred. Upon disposal of the assets, any gain or loss is recorded in the same caption within our Income Statements as the original impairment. Provisions for impairment are included in depreciation and amortization expense in the accompanying Income Statements.. We did 0t record impairment expense during the three months ended March 31, 2021 or 2020.

Real Estate Held for Sale

Real estate is classified as held for sale when the sale is probable, will be completed within one year, purchase agreements are executed, the buyer has a significant deposit at risk, and no financing contingencies exist which could prevent the transaction from being completed in a timely manner. Restaurant sites and certain other assets to be disposed of are included in assets held for sale when the likelihood of disposing of these assets within one year is probable. Assets whose disposal is not probable within one year remain in land, buildings, equipment and improvements until their disposal within one year is probable. Disposals of assets that have a major effect on our operations and financial results or that represent a strategic shift in our operating businesses meet the requirements to be reported as discontinued operations. Real estate held for sale is reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. There was 1 property held for sale at March 31, 2021. There were 2 properties held for sale at December 31, 2020, which were sold during the three months ended March 31, 2021 for a realized gain of $431 thousand.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

We consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents can consist of cash and money market accounts. Restricted cash consists of 1031 tax deferred real estate exchange proceeds and is included in Other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Restricted cash (included in Other assets)	0		0
Total Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash	$	11,483	$	11,064

Long-term Debt

Long-term debt is carried at unpaid principal balance, net of deferred financing costs. All of our long-term debt is currently unsecured and interest is paid monthly on our non-amortizing term loans and revolving credit facility and semi-annually on our senior fixed rate notes.

Deferred Financing Costs

Financing costs related to long-term debt are deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the debt using the effective interest method. These costs are presented as a direct deduction from their related liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

See Note 6 - Long-term Debt, Net of Deferred Financing Costs for additional information.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We enter into derivative instruments for risk management purposes only, including derivatives designated as hedging instruments as required by FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and those utilized as economic hedges. Our use of derivative instruments is currently limited to interest rate hedges. These instruments are generally structured as hedges of the variability of cash flows related to forecasted transactions (cash flow hedges). We do not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes, where changes in the cash flows of the derivative are not expected to offset changes in cash flows of the hedged item. All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. For those derivative instruments for which we intend to elect hedge accounting, at the time the derivative contract is entered into, we document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking the various hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives designated as cash flow hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet or to specific forecasted transactions. We also formally assess, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items.

To the extent our derivatives are effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows, and otherwise meet the cash flow hedge accounting criteria in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), changes in the derivatives’ fair value are not included in current earnings but are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. These changes in fair value will be reclassified into earnings at the time of the forecasted transaction. Ineffectiveness measured in the hedging relationship is recorded in earnings in the period in which it occurs.

See Note 7 - Derivative Financial Instruments for additional information.

Other Assets and Liabilities

Other assets primarily consist of right of use operating lease assets, pre-acquisition costs, prepaid assets, food and beverage inventories for use by our Kerrow operating subsidiary, escrow deposits, and accounts receivable. Other liabilities primarily consist of accrued compensation, accrued interest expense, accrued operating expenses, intangible lease liabilities, and operating lease liabilities.

For leases where the Company is the lessee upon adoption of ASC 842, operating or finance lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset during the reasonably certain lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

As part of certain real estate investment transactions, the Company may enter into long-term ground leases as a lessee. The Company recognizes a ground lease (or right-of-use) asset and related lease liability for each of these ground leases. Ground lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the lease payments. The Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate, which is the estimated rate at which the Company could borrow on a collateralized basis with similar payments over a similar term, in determining the present value of the lease payments.

For leases where the Company is the lessor, we determine the classification upon commencement. At March 31, 2021, all such leases are classified as operating leases. These operating leases may contain both lease and non-lease components. The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components as a single component.

See Note 5 - Leases for additional information.

Rent Concessions

In April 2020, the FASB issued a question-and-answer document regarding accounting for lease concessions and other effects of COVID-19. The document clarifies that entities may elect not to evaluate whether lease-related relief that lessors provide to mitigate the economic effects of COVID-19 on lessees is a lease modification under ASC 842. Instead, an entity that elects not to evaluate whether a concession directly related to COVID-19 is a modification can then elect whether to apply the modification guidance (i.e., assume the relief was always contemplated by the contract or assume the relief was not contemplated by the contract).

During the second and third quarters of 2020, the Company agreed to lease concessions with certain tenants in response to COVID-19. These concessions resulted in a substantial increase in our rights as lessor, including receiving additional financial information, agreeing to extend the current term of the lease, enhancing the lease guarantee, or consenting to more favorable rent escalations in the future. As such, the Company accounted for these concessions as lease modifications under ASC 842. Rent deferrals agreed upon with respect to rent owed for the second quarter of 2020 were for approximately $1.0 million of contractual base rent as of June 30, 2020 and were fully repaid prior to December 31, 2020. In the third quarter of 2020, the Company agreed to rent abatements as part of lease amendments for concessions of the type described above and for lease payments due in the second quarter. These agreements for abatements represented approximately $1.6 million of rental revenue recognized in the second quarter of 2020. The receivables for these abatements were recorded as lease incentives in intangible lease assets, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be amortized as a reduction of revenue over the amended lease terms. As of April 29, 2021, the Company has 0t abated rent for the third or fourth quarters of 2020 or the first quarter of 2021.

Revenue Recognition

Rental Revenue

For those net leases that provide for periodic and determinable increases in base rent, base rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable lease term when collectability is probable. Recognizing rental revenue on a straight-line basis generally results in recognized revenues during the first half of a lease term exceeding the cash amounts contractually due from our tenants, creating a deferred rent receivable.

In certain circumstances, the Company may offer tenant allowance funds in exchange for increasing rent, extending the term, and including annual sales reporting among other items. These tenant allowance funds are classified as lease incentives upon payment and are amortized as a reduction to revenue over the lease term. Lease incentives are included in intangible lease

assets, net, on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company paid lease incentives of $4.2 million to tenants. The Company did not pay any lease incentives to tenants during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

We assess the collectability of our lease receivables, including deferred rents receivable, on several factors, including payment history, the financial strength of the tenant and any guarantors, historical operations and operating trends of the property, and current economic conditions. If our evaluation of these factors indicates it is not probable that we will be to recover substantially all of the receivable, we derecognize the deferred rent receivable asset and record that revenue as a reduction in rental revenue. If we determine the lease receivable will not be collected due to a credit concern, we reduce the recorded revenue for the period and related accounts receivable.

For those leases that provide for periodic increases in base rent only if certain revenue parameters or other substantive contingencies are met, the increased rental revenue is recognized as the related parameters or contingencies are met, rather than on a straight-line basis over the applicable lease term. Costs paid by the lessor and reimbursed by the lessees are included in variable lease payments and presented on a gross basis within rental revenue. Sales taxes collected from lessees and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis within rental revenue.

Restaurant Revenue

Restaurant revenue represents food, beverage, and other products sold and is presented net of the following discounts: coupons, employee meals, complimentary meals and gift cards. Revenue from restaurant sales, whether received in cash or by credit card, is recognized when food and beverage products are sold. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, credit card receivables, included in other assets, totaled $77 thousand and $68 thousand, respectively. We recognize sales from our gift cards when the gift card is redeemed by the customer. Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis within restaurant revenue on our Consolidated Income Statements.

Restaurant Expenses

Restaurant expenses include restaurant labor, general and administrative expenses, rent expense, and food and beverage costs. Food and beverage costs include inventory, warehousing, related purchasing and distribution costs. Vendor allowances received in connection with the purchase of a vendor’s products are recognized as a reduction of the related food and beverage costs as earned.

Gain on Sale, Net

The Company recognizes gain (loss) on sale, net of real estate in accordance with FASB ASU No. 2017-05, “Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets.” The Company evaluates each transaction to determine if control of the asset, as well as other specified criteria, has been transferred to the buyer to determine proper timing of revenue recognition, as well as transaction price allocation. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company sold 2 properties, which resulted in a realized gain of $431 thousand.

Income Taxes

We believe that we have been organized and have operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2016, and we intend to continue to operate in a manner that will enable us to maintain our qualification as a REIT. So long as we qualify as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on our net income that we distribute currently to our shareholders. To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required under the Code to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) to our shareholders and meet certain other requirements. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may also be subject to certain state, local and franchise taxes. Under certain circumstances, federal income and excise taxes may be due on our undistributed taxable income.

The Kerrow Restaurant Operating Business is a TRS and is taxed as a C corporation.

See Note 9 - Income Taxes for additional information.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing net income allocated to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. No effect is shown for any securities that are anti-dilutive. Net income allocated to common shareholders represents net income less income allocated to participating securities and non-controlling interests. None of the Company’s equity awards are participating securities.

See Note 10 - Equity for additional information.

Noncontrolling Interest

Noncontrolling interest represents the aggregate limited partnership interests in FCPT OP held by third parties. In accordance with GAAP, the noncontrolling interest of FCPT OP is shown as a component of equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the portion of income allocable to third parties is shown as net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in our Income Statements and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“Comprehensive Income Statement”). The Company follows the guidance issued by the FASB regarding the classification and measurement of redeemable securities. At FCPT OP’s option, it may satisfy this redemption with cash or by exchanging non-registered shares of FCPT common stock on a one-for-one basis. Accordingly, the Company has determined that the common OP units meet the requirements to be classified as permanent equity. A reconciliation of equity attributable to noncontrolling interest is disclosed in our Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity.

See Note 10 - Equity for additional information.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s stock-based compensation plan provides for the grant of restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), deferred stock units (“DSUs”), performance-based awards, including performance stock units (“PSUs”), dividend equivalents (“DEUs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and other types of awards to eligible participants. DEUs are earned during the vesting period and received upon vesting of award. Upon forfeiture of an award, DEUs earned during the vesting period are also forfeited. We classify stock-based payment awards either as equity awards or liability awards based upon cash settlement options. Equity classified awards are measured based on the fair value on the date of grant. Liability classified awards are remeasured to fair value each reporting period. We recognize costs resulting from the Company’s stock-based compensation awards on a straight-line basis over their vesting periods, which range between one and five years, less estimated forfeitures. No compensation cost is recognized for awards for which employees do not render the requisite services.

See Note 11 - Stock-Based Compensation for additional information.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We use a fair value approach to value certain assets and liabilities. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. We use a fair value hierarchy, which distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity's own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels:

•Level 1 - Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•Level 2 - Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

•Level 3 - Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.

Application of New Accounting Standards

We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs issued by the FASB. Other than as disclosed below, ASUs not yet adopted were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated result of operations, financial position and cash flows.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform” which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the guidance in US GAAP on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). The guidance simplifies the accounting for modifying countless contracts (including those in hedging relationships) that refer to LIBOR and other interbank offered rates. The guidance is effective upon issuance and generally can be applied to contract modifications or existing and new hedge relationships through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its cash flow hedges.

On March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) announced that U.S. dollar LIBOR will no longer be published after June 30, 2023. This announcement has several implications, including setting the spread that may be used to automatically convert contracts from LIBOR SOFR. Additionally, banking regulators are encouraging banks to discontinue new LIBOR debt issuances by December 31, 2021.

The Company anticipates that LIBOR will continue to be available at least until June 30, 2023. Any changes adopted by the FCA or other governing bodies in the method used for determining LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR. If that were to occur, our interest payments could change. In addition, uncertainty about the extent and manner of future changes may result in interest rates and/or payments that are higher or lower than if LIBOR were to remain available in its current form.

The Company has 6 currently effective interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $350 million that are indexed to LIBOR. These interest rate swaps mature through 2025, and the Company is monitoring and evaluating the related risks, which include interest on loans or amounts received and paid on derivative instruments. These risks arise in connection with transitioning contracts to an alternative rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur, and are likely to vary by contract. The value of loans, securities, or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR, as well as interest rates on our current or future indebtedness, may also be impacted if LIBOR is limited or discontinued. For some instruments the method of transitioning to an alternative reference rate may be challenging, especially if we cannot agree with the respective counterparty about how to make the transition.

While we expect LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until at least the end of June 30, 2023, it is possible that LIBOR will become unavailable prior to that point. This could result, for example, if sufficient banks decline to make submissions to the LIBOR administrator. In that case, the risks associated with the transition to an alternative reference rate will be accelerated and magnified.

Alternative rates and other market changes related to the replacement of LIBOR, including the introduction of financial products and changes in market practices, may lead to risk modeling and valuation challenges, such as adjusting interest rate accrual calculations and building a term structure for an alternative rate.

The introduction of an alternative rate also may create additional basis risk and increased volatility as alternative rates are phased in and utilized in parallel with LIBOR.

NOTE 3 – CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Our tenant base and the restaurant brands operating our properties are highly concentrated. With respect to our tenant base, Darden leases represent approximately 65% of the scheduled base rents from the properties we own. As our revenues predominately consist of rental payments, we are dependent on Darden for a significant portion of our leasing revenues. The audited and unaudited financial statements for Darden are included in its filings with the SEC, which can be found on the SEC’s internet website at www.sec.gov. Reference to Darden’s filings with the SEC is solely for the information of investors. We do not intend this website to be an active link or to otherwise incorporate the information contained on such website (including Darden’s filings with the SEC) into this report or our other filings with the SEC.

We also are subject to concentration risk in terms of the restaurant brands that operate our properties. As of March 31, 2021, we had 309 Olive Garden branded locations in our portfolio, which comprise approximately 38% of our leased properties and approximately 48% of the revenues received under leases. Longhorn Steakhouse branded restaurants comprise approximately 14% of our leased properties and approximately 14% of the revenues received under leases as of March 31, 2021. Our properties, including the Kerrow Restaurant Operating Business, are located in 46 states, with concentrations of 10% or greater of total rental revenue in 2 states: Texas (approximately 11%) and Florida (approximately 11%).

We are exposed to credit risk with respect to cash held at various financial institutions, access to our credit facility, and amounts due or payable under our derivative contracts. At March 31, 2021, our exposure to risk related to our derivative instruments totaled $11.9 million including accrued interest, and the counterparty to such instruments are investment grade financial institutions. Our credit risk exposure with regard to our cash and the $250.0 million available capacity under the revolver portion of our credit facility is spread among a diversified group of investment grade financial institutions.

NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

We are exposed to certain risks arising from both our business operations and economic conditions. We principally manage our exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of our core business activities. We manage economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of our debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, we enter into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in our receipt or payment of future cash amounts,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Unaudited)

the value of which are determined by interest rates. Our derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of our known or expected cash payments principally related to our borrowings.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, we primarily use interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The change in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded on our consolidated balance sheet in accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt.

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $350 million of our variable-rate debt is hedged by swaps with notional values totaling $350 million.

During the first quarter of 2021, we entered into one cash flow hedge in connection with the issuance of $100 million of notes by the Company in April 2021. See Note 15 - Subsequent Events - Notes Offering. The Company terminated 3 cash flow hedges in connection with a $100 million private note offering that was entered into on February 25, 2021. The first hedge was an interest rate swap that had a fixed notional value of $25 million entered into on September 29, 2020 with an effective date of May 4, 2021 and a maturity date of May 4, 2031, where the fixed rate paid by the Company was 0.7516% and the variable rate received reset monthly to the three-month LIBOR rate. The second hedge was an interest rate swap that had a fixed notional value of $25 million entered into on October 9, 2020 with an effective date of May 4, 2021 and a maturity date of May 4, 2031, where the fixed rate paid by the Company was 0.8878% and the variable rate received reset monthly to the three-month LIBOR rate. The third hedge was an interest rate swap that had a fixed notional value of $25 million entered into on January 15, 2021 with an effective date of February 16, 2021 and a maturity date of February 15, 2031, where the fixed rate paid by the Company was 1.1165% and the variable rate received reset monthly to the three-month LIBOR rate. The swaps were terminated on January 29, 2021 for approximately a $1.7 million gain which will be amortized over the next 10 years as interest expense.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our variable-rate debt. We estimate that over the next twelve months an additional $6.8 million will be reclassified to earnings as an increase to interest expense.

Non-designated Hedges

We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we did not have any derivatives that were not designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The agreement with our derivative counterparty provides that if we default on any of our indebtedness, including default for which repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations.

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of derivatives related to these agreements was approximately $11.9 million and $18.0 million in net liabilities, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, we have not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If we or our counterparty had breached any of these provisions at March 31, 2021, we could have been required to settle our obligations under the agreements at their termination value of approximately $11.9 million.

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense consists of federal, state, and local income taxes incurred by FCPT’s TRS, and state and local income taxes incurred by FCPT on its lease portfolio. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we recorded income tax expense of $63 thousand and $61 thousand, respectively.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts for income tax purposes, as well as operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets and recognizes a valuation allowance if, based on the available evidence, both positive and negative, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. When evaluating the realizability of its deferred tax assets, the Company considers, among other matters, estimates of expected future taxable income, nature of current and cumulative losses, existing and projected book/tax differences, tax planning strategies available, and the general and industry specific economic outlook. This realizability analysis is inherently subjective, as it requires the Company to forecast its business and general economic environment in future periods. Based on an assessment of all factors, including historical losses of the Kerrow Restaurants Operating Business, it was

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

determined that full valuation allowances were required on the net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2021. Changes in estimates of deferred tax asset realizability are included in "Income tax expense" in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

NOTE 10 – EQUITY

Preferred Stock

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company was authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares, $0.0001 par value per share of preferred stock. There were 0 shares issued and outstanding at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Common Stock

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company was authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares, $0.0001 par value per share of common stock. At March 31, 2021, there were 76,171,261 shares of the Company's common stock issued and outstanding.

On March 8, 2021, we declared a dividend of $0.3175 per share, which was paid in April 2021 to common stockholders of record as of March 31, 2021.

Common Stock Issuance Under the At-The-Market Program

In December 2016, the Company established an “At-the-Market” (“ATM”) equity issuance program (the “prior ATM program”) under which the Company may, at its discretion, issue and sell its common stock through ATM offerings on the New York Stock Exchange through broker-dealers. On March 22, 2019, the Company amended the prior ATM program to, among other things, increase the maximum sales under ATM offerings to $210 million and provide that such sales could be made through the sales agents, as the Company’s agents or, if applicable, as forward sellers for forward purchasers. On February 24, 2021, the Company terminated the prior ATM program and entered into a new ATM program (the “current ATM program” and together with the prior ATM program, the “ATM programs”), which provides for the offer and sale of the shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $350 million. In connection with the Company’s ATM program, the Company may enter into forward sale agreements with certain financial institutions acting as forward purchasers whereby, at the Company's discretion, the forward purchasers may borrow and sell shares of common stock. The use of forward sale agreements allows the Company to lock in a share price on the sale of shares of common stock at the time the respective forward sale agreements are executed but defer settling the forward sale agreements and receiving the proceeds from the sale of shares until a later date.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company issued 161,509 shares under its ATM programs at a weighted average share price of $29.56 for net proceeds of $4.7 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company executed a forward sale agreement under the prior ATM program with a financial institution acting as forward purchaser to sell 144,321 shares of common stock at an average forward offering price per share of $30.23. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company physically settled this forward sale agreement and issued 144,321 shares for net proceeds of $4.3 million. There were no other issuance under the prior ATM program during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

At March 31, 2021, there was $348.2 million available for issuance under the current ATM program.

Noncontrolling Interest

At March 31, 2021, there were 159,392 FCPT Operating Partnership Units (“OP units”) outstanding held by third parties. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, FCPT OP did not issue any OP units for consideration in real estate transactions. Generally, OP units participate in net income allocations and distributions and entitle their holder the right, subject to the terms set forth in the partnership agreement, to require FCPT OP to redeem all or a portion of the OP units held by such limited partner. At FCPT OP’s option, it may satisfy this redemption with cash or by exchanging non-registered shares of FCPT common stock on a one-for-one basis. Prior to the redemption of OP units, the limited partners participate in net income allocations and distributions in a manner equivalent to the common stockholders. The redemption value of outstanding non-controlling interest OP units was $4.4 million and $4.7 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Unaudited)

At March 31, 2021, FCPT was the owner of approximately 99.79% of FCPT’s OP units. The remaining 0.21%, or 159,392 of FCPT’s OP units were held by unaffiliated limited partners. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, FCPT OP distributed $51 thousand to its limited partners.

Earnings Per Share

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the number of outstanding equity awards that were anti-dilutive totaled 182,784 and 208,958, respectively.

Exchangeable OP units have been omitted from the denominator for the purpose of computing diluted earnings per share since FCPT OP, at its option, may satisfy a redemption with cash or by exchanging non-registered shares of FCPT common stock. The weighted average exchangeable OP units outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was 159,392 and 257,648, respectively.

NOTE 11 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

On October 20, 2015, the Board of Directors of FCPT adopted, and FCPT’s sole stockholder at such time, Rare Hospitality International, Inc., approved, the Four Corners Property Trust, Inc. 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for the grant of awards of nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, unrestricted stock, dividend equivalent rights, performance shares and other performance-based awards, other equity-based awards, and cash bonus awards to eligible participants. Subject to adjustment, the maximum number of shares of stock reserved for issuance under the Plan is equal to 2,100,000 shares.

At March 31, 2021, 733,243 shares of common stock were available for award under the Plan. The unamortized compensation cost of awards issued under the Plan totaled approximately $6.2 million at March 31, 2021 as shown in the following table.


(In thousands)	Restricted Stock Units		Restricted Stock Awards		Performance Stock Awards		Total
Unrecognized compensation cost at January 1, 2021	$	1,755	$	1,522	$	1,342	$	4,619

Unrecognized Compensation Cost at March 31, 2021	$	2,076	$	2,964	$	1,176	$	6,216

At March 31, 2021, the weighted average amortization period remaining for all of our equity awards was 2.3 years.

Restricted Stock Units

RSUs have been granted at a value equal to the five-day average or day of closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant, and will be settled in stock at the end of their vesting periods, which range between one and five years.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Unaudited)

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were 160,851 and 137,585 RSUs outstanding, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, there were 23,266 shares of restricted stock granted, and 0 RSUs were forfeited or vested. Restrictions on these RSUs lapse through 2026.

Restricted Stock Awards

RSAs have been granted at a value equal to the five-day average closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant and will be settled in stock at the end of their vesting periods, which range between one and three years.

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were 118,199 and 102,355 RSAs outstanding, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, there were 85,476 shares of restricted stock granted, 0 shares forfeited, and restrictions on 69,632 RSAs lapsed and were distributed, of which 35,551 RSAs were designated for tax withholdings. Restrictions on these RSAs lapse through 2024. The Company expects all RSAs to vest.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Awards

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the target number of PSUs that were unvested was 210,473 and 202,706, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, PSUs with a target number of 75,476 shares were granted and PSUs with a target number of 67,709 shares vested. The total shareholder return calculated for these PSUs resulted in a distribution of 200% of target shares, resulting in the distribution of 135,418 shares, of which 75,194 were withheld for tax.

The performance period of the unvested grants run from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023, from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022, and from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2021. Pursuant to the PSU award agreement, each participant is eligible to vest in and receive shares of the Company's common stock based on the initial target number of shares granted multiplied by a percentage range between 0% and 200%. The percentage range is based on the attainment of a combination of relative shareholder return and total shareholder return of the Company compared to certain specified peer groups of companies during the performance period. The grant date fair values of PSUs were determined through Monte-Carlo simulations using the following assumptions: our common stock closing price at the grant date, the average closing price of our common stock price for the 20 trading days prior to the grant date and a range of performance-based vesting based on estimated total stockholder return over a three year performance period. For the 2021 PSU grant, the Company used an implied volatility assumption of 49.0% (based on historical volatility), risk free rates of 2.50% (the three-year Treasury rates on the grant date), and a 0% dividend yield (the mathematical equivalent to reinvesting the dividends over the three-year performance period as is consistent with the terms of the PSUs), which resulted in a grant date fair value of 0.

Based on the grant date fair value, the Company expects to recognize $1.2 million in compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining requisite service period associated with the unvested PSU awards.

NOTE 12 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments including cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates. The carrying value of derivative financial instruments equal fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. We evaluate hierarchy disclosures each reporting period.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Currently, we use interest rate swaps to manage our interest rate risk associated with our notes payable. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.

The fair values of interest rate options are determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates rise above the strike rate of the caps. The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the cap are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities.

To comply with the provisions of ASC 820, we incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees.

Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by ourselves and our counterparties. We have determined that the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments made to our derivative contracts, which determination was based on the fair value of each individual contract, was not significant to the overall valuation. As a result, all of our derivatives held at March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020 were classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 13 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

We are subject to private lawsuits, administrative proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business from time to time. A number of these lawsuits, proceedings and claims may exist at any given time. These matters typically involve claims from guests, employee wage and hour claims and others related to operational issues common to the restaurant industry. We record our best estimate of a loss when the loss is considered probable. When a liability is probable and there is a range of estimated loss with no best estimate in the range, we record the minimum estimated liability related to the lawsuits, proceedings or claims. While the resolution of a lawsuit, proceeding or claim may have an impact on our financial results for the period in which it is resolved, we believe that the maximum liability related to probable lawsuits, proceedings and claims in which we are currently involved, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

NOTE 15 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company reviewed its subsequent events and transactions that have occurred after March 31, 2021, the date of the Consolidated Balance Sheet, through April 29, 2021 and noted the following:

Acquisitions

Through April 29, 2021, the Company invested $5.8 million in the acquisition of 2 net lease properties with an investment yield of approximately 6.6%, and approximately 7.8 years of lease term remaining. The Company funded the acquisitions with cash on hand and additional borrowings on the revolving credit facility. The Company anticipates accounting for these transactions as asset acquisitions in accordance with U.S. GAAP. There were no contingent liabilities associated with these transactions at March 31, 2021.

Notes Offering

On February 25, 2021, FCPT entered into agreements to issue $100 million of senior unsecured notes (the "Notes"), which were issued on April 27, 2021. The Notes consist of $50 million of notes with a ten-year term, maturing on April 29, 2031, and are priced at a fixed interest rate of 2.99%, and $50 million of notes with a eight-year term, maturing on April 30, 2029, and are priced at a fixed interest rate of 2.74%. These notes were issued at par value. In connection with this offering, FCPT terminated interest rate swaps entered into previously to hedge the interest rate of this offering at a gain that will be amortized over the life of the Notes and lower the annual all-in interest rate expense by approximately 0.17%.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the documents that are incorporated by reference, that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Also, when Four Corners Property Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) uses any of the words “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” or similar expressions, Four Corners Property Trust, Inc. is making forward-looking statements. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon present expectations and reasonable assumptions, actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Certain factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated or projected are described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as such factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. One of the most significant of such factors is the potential adverse effect of the current pandemic of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, on the financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance of the Company and its tenants, the real estate market and the global economy and financial markets. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company and its tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. Moreover, you should interpret many of the risks identified in this report, as well as the risks set forth below, as being heightened as a result of the ongoing and numerous adverse impacts of COVID-19.

Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or any document incorporated herein by reference. Four Corners Property Trust, Inc. undertakes no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Four Corners Property Trust, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2020. Any references to “FCPT,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Four Corners Property Trust, Inc. as an independent, publicly traded, self-administered company.

Overview

We are a Maryland corporation and a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) which owns, acquires and leases properties for use in the restaurant and retail industries. Substantially all of our business is conducted through Four Corners Operating Partnership, LP (“FCPT OP”), a Delaware limited partnership of which we are a majority limited partner and our wholly owned subsidiary, Four Corners GP, LLC (“FCPT GP”), is its sole general partner. We believe that we have operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT for the taxable year ended December 31, 2020, and we intend to continue to operate in a manner that will enable us to maintain our qualification as a REIT.

Our revenues are primarily generated by leasing properties to tenants through net lease arrangements under which the tenants are primarily responsible for ongoing costs relating to the properties, including utilities, property taxes, insurance, common area maintenance charges, and maintenance and repair costs. We focus on income producing properties leased to high quality tenants in major markets across the United States. We also generate revenues by operating six LongHorn Steakhouse restaurants located in the San Antonio, Texas area (the “Kerrow Restaurant Operating Business”) pursuant to franchise agreements with Darden.

In addition to managing our existing properties, our strategy includes investing in additional restaurant and retail properties to grow and diversify our existing restaurant portfolio. We expect this acquisition strategy will decrease our reliance on Darden over time. We intend to purchase properties that are well located, occupied by durable concepts, with creditworthy tenants whose operating cash flows are expected to meaningfully exceed their lease payments to us. We seek to improve the probability of successful tenant renewal at the end of initial lease terms by acquiring properties that have high levels of operator profitability compared to rent payments and have absolute rent levels that generally reflect market rates.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, FCPT acquired 13 properties for a total investment value of $34.9 million, including transaction costs. These properties are 100% occupied under net leases with a weighted average remaining lease term of 9.9 years. The Company also invested $1.2 million in the construction of a Longhorn Steakhouse for the Kerrow Restaurant Operating Business.

At March 31, 2021, our lease portfolio had the following characteristics:

•810 properties located in 46 states and representing an aggregate leasable area of 5.3 million square feet;

•99.7% occupancy (based on leasable square footage);

•An average remaining lease term of 10 years (weighted by annualized base rent); and

•An average annual rent escalation of 1.43% through December 31, 2030 (weighted by annualized base rent).

COVID-19

We are closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business, including how it will impact our tenants. The outbreak continues to significantly and adversely impact economic activity in many areas of the United States, including where we own properties and where our headquarters are located. Our managed restaurants and certain of our tenants have experienced and continue to experience operational challenges as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has had, and we anticipate will continue to have, an impact on our and their financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and creditworthiness. The situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic remains fluid, and we continue to actively manage our response in collaboration with tenants, government officials and business partners and assess potential impacts to our financial position and operating results, as well as potential adverse developments to our business. During the last few months, several vaccines for COVID-19 received FDA approval and are currently being administered across the country. Despite growing vaccination rates, we believe COVID-19 will continue to impact the normal operations for our tenants and our managed restaurants. The continued impact of the pandemic on our and our tenants' businesses is largely dependent on efforts to stem the spread of COVID-19, including governmental efforts to distribute vaccines and overall vaccination rates in the areas in which we own and manage properties. For further information regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the Company, see Part II, Item 1A titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

We have collected over 99% of our portfolio’s contractual base rent for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Rent deferrals agreed to for rent owed for second quarter of 2020 were for approximately $1.0 million of contractual base rent as of June 30, 2020 and were fully repaid prior to December 31, 2020. In the third quarter of 2020, the Company agreed to rent abatements as part of lease amendments for concessions of the type described above and for lease payments due in the second quarter. These agreements for abatements represented approximately $1.6 million of rental revenue recognized in the second quarter of 2020. During the third quarter of 2020, the receivables for abatements were recorded as lease incentives and will be amortized as a reduction to revenue over the amended lease terms. The Company did not agree to any rent deferrals during the fourth quarter of 2020 or the first quarter of 2021.

During the three months ended March 31 2021 and 2020, we operated in two segments: real estate operations and restaurant operations. The following discussion includes the results of our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 as summarized in the table below:

Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2020

Real Estate Operations

Rental Revenue

Rental revenue increased $3.8 million, or 10.0%, during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. This increase was due primarily to the net acquisition of 88 leased properties, during the year-over-year period from April 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized variable lease revenue, including costs paid by the lessor and reimbursed by the lessees within rental revenue of $769 thousand as compared to $477 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2020. These amounts are also recognized in property expenses.

We recognize rental income on a straight-line basis to include the effect of base rent escalators, and free rent periods, if any.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expense is comprised of costs associated with staff, office rent, legal, accounting, information technology, and other professional services and other administrative services in association with our real estate operations and our REIT structure and reporting requirements. General and administrative expenses increased $921 thousand, or 24.0%, in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in compensation-related expenses stemming from a higher head count and benefits costs and stock compensation expense as well as an increase in recruiting fees and office rent expense.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense represents the depreciation on real estate investments that have estimated lives ranging from two to fifty-five years. Depreciation and amortization increased by approximately $1.2 million, or 16.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, due to the acquisition of 88 properties, during the year-over-year period from April 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021.

Property Expense

We record all tenant expenses, both reimbursed and non-reimbursed, to property expense. We also record initial direct costs (lease negotiation and other previously capitalizable transaction expenses) as property expenses. Other property expenses consist of expenses incurred on vacant properties, abandoned deal costs, and franchise taxes. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded property expenses of $1.0 million, of which $769 thousand was reimbursed by tenants. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded property expenses of $635 thousand, of which $477 thousand was reimbursed by tenants. The primary reasons for the $71 thousand increase in non-reimbursed expenses were vacancy costs and other property costs.

Interest Expense

We incur interest expense on our $400 million of term loans, any outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility, interest rate swaps, and our $350 million of senior fixed rate notes. Interest expense increased $630 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to the issuance of $125 million of senior fixed notes in the second quarter of 2020. As of March 31, 2021 we had outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $34 million, as compared to $178 million at March 31, 2020.

Realized Gain on Sale, Net

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company sold two properties with a combined net book value of $2.8 million for a realized gain on sale of $431 thousand. The Company did not sell any assets during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Income Taxes

During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, our income tax expense was $63 thousand and $61 thousand, respectively. The income tax provision consists of federal, state, and local income taxes incurred by the Kerrow Restaurant Operating Business, and state and local income taxes incurred by FCPT on its lease portfolio.

Restaurant Operations

Restaurant revenues increased by $527 thousand, or 11.2%, during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020 primarily due to an improvement in casual dining trends as restrictions on seating capacity were eased.

Total restaurant expenses increased by $357 thousand, or 7.9%, during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due an increase in cost of goods sold and labor costs.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of FCPT’s consolidated financial statements in conformance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates on assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as well as other disclosures in the financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions; however, actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions, which in turn could have a material impact on our financial statements. A summary of FCPT’s critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.” Management believes those critical accounting policies, among others, affect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Standards

A discussion of new accounting standards and the possible effects of these standards on our consolidated financial statements is included in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our consolidated financial statements, included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

At March 31, 2021, we had $11.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and $216 million of borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility, which expires on November 9, 2021, subject to our ability to extend the term for two additional six-month periods to November 9, 2022. The revolving credit facility provides for a letter of credit sub-limit of $25 million. See Note 6 - Long-Term Debt, Net of Deferred Financing Costs included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information. As of March 31, 2021, we had outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $34 million. The credit facility also includes $400 million of non-amortizing term loans, of which $150 million will mature on November 9, 2022, $150 million will mature on November 9, 2023, and $100 million will mature on March 9, 2024. At March 31, 2021, the weighted average interest rate on the term loans, after consideration of the interest rate hedges, was 2.93%.

In February 2021, we entered into a new ATM program, pursuant to which shares of our common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $350 million may be offered and sold (1) by us to, or through, a consortium of banks acting as our sales agents or (2) by a consortium of banks acting as forward sellers on behalf of any forward purchasers contemplated thereunder, in each case by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the NYSE or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices, by privately negotiated transactions (including block sales) or by any other methods permitted by applicable law.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company issued 161,509 shares at a weighted average share price of $29.56 for net proceeds of $4.7 million. At March 31, 2021, there was $348.2 million available for issuance under our new ATM program.

We have entered into interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate variability associated with our credit facility. On July 12, 2017, we entered into a swap with a fixed notional value of $100 million, an effective date of November 9, 2018, and a maturity date of November 9, 2021, where the fixed rate paid by FCPT OP is 1.960% and the variable rate received resets monthly to the one-month LIBOR rate. On July 12, 2017, we entered into a swap with a fixed notional value of $100 million, an effective date of November 9, 2020, a maturity date of November 9, 2023, where the fixed rate paid by FCPT OP is 2.302% and the variable rate received resets monthly to the one-month LIBOR rate. On August 29, 2017, we entered into a 10-year swap with a fixed notional value of $100 million for its first twelve months and $200 million for its second twelve months with an effective date of November 9, 2020, a maturity date of November 9, 2022 and where the fixed rate paid by FCPT is 2.002% and the variable rate received resets monthly to the one-month LIBOR rate. On June 11, 2019, we entered into a swap with a fixed notional value of $150 million, an effective date of November 9, 2022, and a maturity date of November 9, 2024, where the fixed rate paid by FCPT OP is 1.913% and the variable rate received resets monthly to the one-month LIBOR rate. On June 8, 2020 we entered into an interest rate swap with a fixed notional value of $50 million with an effective date of November 9, 2020 and a maturity date of November 9, 2025, where the fixed rate paid by the Company was 0.5025% and the variable rate received reset monthly to the one-month LIBOR rate. On June 8, 2020 we entered into an interest rate swap with a fixed notional value of $50 million to $150 million with an effective date of November 9, 2023 and a maturity date of November 9, 2025, where the fixed rate paid by the Company was 0.8205% and the variable rate received reset monthly to the one-month LIBOR rate.

These six hedging agreements were entered into to mitigate the interest rate risk inherent in FCPT OP’s variable rate debt and not for trading purposes. These swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges with all interest income and expense recorded as a component of net income and other valuation changes recorded as a component of other comprehensive income.

fixed notional value of $25 million entered into on October 9, 2020 with an effective date of May 4, 2021 and a maturity date of May 4, 2031, where the fixed rate paid by the Company was 0.8778% and the variable rate received reset monthly to the three-month LIBOR rate. The third hedge was an interest rate swap that had a fixed notional value of $25 million entered into on January 15, 2021 with an effective date of February 16, 2021 and a maturity date of February 15, 2031, where the fixed rate paid by the Company was 1.1165% and the variable rate received reset monthly to the three-month LIBOR rate. The swaps were terminated on January 29, 2021 for approximately a $1.7 million loss which will be amortized over the next 10 years as interest expense.

The Company has issued $350 million of senior unsecured fixed rate notes (together, the “Notes”) in private placements pursuant to note purchase agreements with the various purchasers. The Notes issued in June 2017 consist of $50 million of notes with a term ending in June 2024 and priced at a fixed interest rate of 4.68%, and $75 million of notes with a term ending in June 2027 and priced at a fixed interest rate of 4.93%. The Notes issued in December 2018 consist of $50 million of notes with a term ending in December 2026 and priced at a fixed interest rate of 4.63%, and $50 million of notes with a term ending in December 2028 and priced at a fixed interest rate of 4.76%. The Notes issued in March 2020 consist of (i) $75 million of notes with a ten-year term that funded on April 8, 2020 and mature on April 8, 2030, priced at a fixed interest rate of 3.20%, and (ii) $50 million of notes with a nine-year term that funded on June 9, 2020 and mature on June 9, 2029, priced at a fixed interest rate of 3.15%.

On February 25, 2021, FCPT entered into agreements to issue $100 million of senior unsecured notes. The notes consist of $50 million of notes with an eight-year term, which were issued on April 27, 2021 and mature on April 30, 2029, and are priced at a fixed interest rate of 2.74%, and $50 million of notes with a ten-year term, which were issued on April 27, 2021, and mature on April 29, 2031, and are priced at a fixed interest rate of 2.99%. These notes were issued at par value.

On a short-term basis, our principal demands for funds will be for operating expenses, distributions to stockholders and interest and principal on current and any future debt financings. We expect to fund our operating expenses and other short-term liquidity requirements, capital expenditures, payment of principal and interest on our outstanding indebtedness, property improvements, re-leasing costs and cash distributions to common stockholders, primarily through cash provided by operating activities, and, for acquisitions, investments, and other capital expenditures, from borrowings under our $250 million revolving credit facility.

On a long-term basis, our principal demands for funds include payment of dividends, financing of property acquisitions, and scheduled debt maturities. We plan to meet our long-term capital needs by issuing debt or equity securities or by obtaining asset-level financing, subject to market conditions. In addition, we may issue common stock to permanently finance properties that were financed on an intermediate basis by our revolving credit facility or other indebtedness. In the future, we may also acquire properties by issuing partnership interests of FCPT OP in exchange for property owned by third parties. Our common partnership interests would be redeemable for cash or shares of our common stock, at FCPT’s election.

We continually evaluate alternative financing and believe that we can obtain financing on reasonable terms. However, we cannot be assured that we will have access to the capital markets at times and at terms that are acceptable to us. We expect that our primary uses of capital will be for property and other asset acquisitions and the funding of tenant improvements and other capital expenditures, and debt refinancing.

Because the properties in our portfolio are generally leased to tenants under net leases, where the tenant is responsible for property operating costs and expenses, our exposure to rising property operating costs due to inflation is mitigated. Interest rates and other factors, such as occupancy, rental rate and the financial condition of our tenants, influence our performance more so than does inflation. Changes in interest rates do not necessarily correlate with inflation rates or changes in inflation rates. As described above, we currently offer leases that provide for payments of base rent with scheduled annual fixed increases.

Impact of COVID-19 on Liquidity and Financial Condition

As a result of the short-term and potential longer term impact of COVID-19 and the actions taken to minimize its spread, we may temporarily reduce the annual rate of our annual cash dividends. We currently intend to continue paying sufficient dividends to maintain our status as a REIT.

Property rental income is our primary source of cash flow and is dependent on a number of factors, including our occupancy level and rental rates, as well as our tenants’ ability to pay rent. Our properties have historically provided us with a

relatively consistent stream of cash flow that enables us to pay operating expenses, debt service and recurring capital expenditures. As discussed in more detail below, the effects of COVID-19 and the actions taken to minimize its spread have had an adverse impact on our tenants’ ability to operate and could impact their ability to pay rent to us and therefore have a significant longer term adverse impact on our cash flow and financial condition. Other sources of liquidity to fund cash requirements include proceeds from financings, equity offerings and asset sales.

The Company continues to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our overall liquidity position and outlook. During the last few months, several vaccines for COVID-19 received FDA approval and are currently being administered across the country. Despite growing vaccination rates, we believe COVID-19 will continue to impact the normal operations for our tenants and our managed restaurants. The ultimate impact COVID-19 may have on our operational and financial performance is currently uncertain and will depend on certain developments, including, among others, the impact of COVID-19 on our tenants, on restaurants that we manage and the magnitude and duration of the pandemic, including its impact on social distancing rules which may impact a tenant’s ability to generate sales at sufficient levels to cover operating costs, governmental efforts to distribute vaccines and overall vaccination rates in the areas in which we own and manage properties. Our ability to retain our outstanding borrowings and utilize remaining amounts available under our revolving credit facility will depend on our continued compliance with the applicable financial covenants and other terms of our credit agreements, which may be impacted by tenant store closures and failure of tenants to pay rent.

Pandemic-Related Contingencies

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions intended to prevent and mitigate its spread could have additional adverse effects on our business, including but not limited to:

•the ability and willingness of our tenants to renew their leases upon expiration, our ability to re-lease the properties on the same or better terms in the event of nonrenewal or in the event we exercise our right to replace an existing tenant, and obligations we may incur in connection with the replacement of an existing tenant, particularly in light of the adverse impact to the financial health of many restaurant owners that has occurred and continues to occur as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the significant uncertainty as to when and the conditions under which potential tenants will be able to operate in future;

•macroeconomic conditions, such as a disruption of or lack of access to the capital markets and the adverse impact of the recent significant decline in our share price from prices prior to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic;

•the broader impact of the severe economic contraction due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the resulting increase in unemployment that has occurred and its effect on consumer behavior, and negative consequences that will occur if these trends are not timely reversed; and

•potential reduction in our operating effectiveness as employees work remotely or if key personnel become unavailable due to illness or other personal circumstances related to COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions intended to prevent and mitigate its spread have already had a significant adverse impact on economic and market conditions around the world, including the United States and markets where our properties are located, in 2020 and the first quarter of 2021 and could further trigger a period of sustained global and U.S. economic downturn or recession. While the rapid developments regarding the COVID-19 pandemic preclude any prediction as to its ultimate adverse impact, the current economic, political and social environment presents material risks and uncertainties with respect to our and our tenants’ business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and ability to access the capital markets and satisfy debt service obligations.

Contractual Obligations

There were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to the information regarding specified contractual obligations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At March 31, 2021, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Non-GAAP Definitions

The certain non-GAAP financial measures included above management believes are helpful in understanding our business, as further described below. Our definition and calculation of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those of other REITs and therefore may not be comparable. The non-GAAP measures should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of our performance and should be considered only a supplement to net income, and to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of profitability and/or liquidity, computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

FFO is a supplemental measure of our performance which should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income and cash provided by operating activities as a measure of operating performance and liquidity. We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the NAREIT. FFO represents net income (loss) computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and undepreciated land and impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We also omit the tax impact of non-FFO producing activities from FFO determined in accordance with the NAREIT definition.

Our management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We offer this measure because we recognize that FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and capitalized leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our financial

condition and results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. FFO is a non-GAAP measure and should not be considered a measure of liquidity including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. In addition, our calculations of FFO are not necessarily comparable to FFO as calculated by other REITs that do not use the same definition or implementation guidelines or interpret the standards differently from us. Investors in our securities should not rely on these measures as a substitute for any U.S. GAAP measure, including net income.

Adjusted Funds from Operations is a non-U.S. GAAP measure that is used as a supplemental operating measure specifically for comparing year-over-year ability to fund dividend distribution from operating activities. AFFO is used by us as a basis to address our ability to fund our dividend payments. We calculate AFFO by adding to or subtracting from FFO:

1.Transaction costs incurred in connection with business combinations

2.Straight-line rent revenue adjustment

3.Stock-based compensation expense

4.Non-cash amortization of deferred financing costs

5.Other non-cash interest expense (income)

6.Non-real estate investment depreciation

7.Merger, restructuring and other related costs

8.Impairment charges

9.Other non-cash revenue adjustments, including amortization of above and below market leases and lease incentives

10.Amortization of capitalized leasing costs

11.Debt extinguishment gains and losses

12.Recurring capital expenditures and tenant improvements

AFFO is not intended to represent cash flow from operations for the period, and is only intended to provide an additional measure of performance by adjusting the effect of certain items noted above included in FFO. AFFO is a widely reported measure by other REITs; however, other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating AFFO and, accordingly, our AFFO may not be comparable to other REITs.
