Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. Leases Disclosure
NOTE 9. OPERATING LAND LEASES
The Company is the lessee under operating land leases for certain of its properties. FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases, requires a lessee to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities that arise from leases, whether qualifying as an operating or finance lease. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s right-of-use assets totaled $3.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively, and the corresponding lease liabilities totaled $3.1 million and $3.2 million, respectively, which balances are reflected within other assets and accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets. The right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are measured based on the present value of the lease payments utilizing discount rates estimated to be equal to that which the Company would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term, for an amount equal to the lease payments, in a similar economic environment.
The Company’s operating land leases do not include variable lease payments and generally provide renewal options, at the Company’s election, to extend the terms of the respective leases. Renewal option periods are included in the calculation of the right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain that the Company, as lessee, will exercise the option to extend the lease.
Amortization of right-of-use assets for operating land leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and is included within real estate expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Amortization totaled $0.3 million, $0.2 million, and $0.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The following table reflects a summary of operating land leases, under which the Company is the lessee, for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 (in thousands):

About Leases Disclosures
Lease disclosures under ASC 842 provide a comprehensive view of a company's leased asset portfolio, including the split between operating and finance leases, discount rates used to present-value future payments, and the maturity schedule of lease obligations. This section reveals a significant source of off-balance-sheet commitments that were largely hidden before the current standard.
Key signals: the weighted-average discount rate affects the size of recorded lease liabilities — a higher rate reduces the reported obligation, so compare the chosen rate against the company's incremental borrowing rate. The operating versus finance lease mix affects both EBITDA and operating income presentation. Watch the maturity table for concentration risk: large payment cliffs in specific years may create cash flow pressure. Variable lease payments excluded from the liability measurement represent real obligations that do not appear on the balance sheet. Compare total lease costs against prior-year operating lease expense to assess the true economic burden.
