- **Q4 2025 Results**: Net income of $0.52 per share, up from $0.43 in Q4 2024, driven by unrealized gains. Earnings available for distribution (EAD) were $0.48 per share, down from $0.83 in Q4 2024. Cash available for distribution (CAD) was $0.53 per share, up from $0.47 in Q3 2025. Dividend coverage was 1.06x, with a $0.50 dividend declared for Q1 2026.
- **Portfolio Performance**: Total investments of $1.2 billion across 92 assets, with 47% in multifamily, 30% in Life Sciences, and 17% in single-family rental. Geographically concentrated in Massachusetts (24%), Texas (15%), and California (7%).
- **Capital Markets**: Raised $60.5 million in Series B preferred stock. Refinanced $36.5 million in unsecured notes at 7.875%, reducing interest rate exposure. Completed a re-REMIC transaction reducing debt-to-equity ratio to 0.83x and unlocking $0.30-$0.34 per share accretion.
- **Guidance**: Q1 2026 EAD of $0.40 per share (range $0.35-$0.45), CAD of $0.50 per share (range $0.45-$0.55).

**【CIO Portfolio Discussion】**
- **Life Sciences**: Alewife Park project 64% leased with RFPs/LOIs totaling 2.8x square footage. Life Sciences demand driven by AI infrastructure needs and purpose-built assets. Portfolio assets 30%-60% below replacement cost, providing a competitive advantage.
- **Residential**: Multifamily rents expected to inflect in H2 2026 due to supply constraints (60% decline in new deliveries) and concession burn-off. Self-storage occupancy at 91.7%, outperforming industry average of 89%, with rate increases offsetting occupancy declines.
- **Strategic Focus**: Pipeline includes $90 million in multifamily, $55 million in BTR, $45 million in self-storage, and $70 million in Life Sciences. Emphasis on build-to-rent (BTR) and senior mezzanine loans with 200-400 basis point net interest margins.

**【Q&A Highlights】**
- **Dividend Sustainability**: Paul Richards emphasized CAD as the key metric for dividend coverage, citing re-REMIC accretion and Series C preferred stock raises. EAD below CAD due to amortization of premiums, but CAD is expected to grow.
- **Regulatory Impact**: Matthew McGraner noted NexPoint's focus on BTR and purpose-built assets, which align with housing needs. While scattered-site SFR may face regulatory headwinds, BTR origination remains active.
- **Life Sciences Momentum**: Alewife Park's success driven by infrastructure requirements and clustering effects. Broader Life Sciences demand from AI companies needing purpose-built labs.
- **Credit Loss Provision**: $12 million Q4 provision included general reserves and specific deals. Expect stable CECL in 2026 with no material problem areas.
