Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $12.8 million and $11.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The $1.4 million increase in the depreciation and amortization expense is reflective of the Company’s expanded property portfolio.
Gain on Disposition of Assets
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company sold 14 properties for an aggregate sales price of $79.1 million, generating aggregate gains on sale of $5.2 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company sold five properties for an aggregate sales price of $72.8 million, generating aggregate gains on sale of $15.6 million.
Interest Expense
Interest expense totaled $5.0 million and $3.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The $1.2 million increase in interest expense is attributable to the overall increase in the interest rates underlying the Company’s previously variable rate debt, which was entirely fixed as of March 1, 2023. The impact of the overall rate increase was partially offset by a lower average outstanding debt balance during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The overall decrease in the Company’s long-term debt is primarily the result of paying down the outstanding debt balance through a combination of proceeds from stock issuances and funds from operations.
Net Income
Net income totaled $3.8 million and $17.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The $13.5 million decrease in net income is attributable to the factors described above, most notably the decrease in the gain on disposition of assets of $10.4 million.
