12. INCOME TAXES:

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT effective January 1, 2013, pursuant to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a REIT, generally the Company is not subject to federal corporate income taxes on ordinary taxable income and capital gains income from real estate investments that it distributes to its stockholders. The Company continues to be required to pay federal and state corporate income taxes on earnings of its taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”).

For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $7.8 million and $12.2 million, respectively, related to its TRSs. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $12.0 million and $12.7 million, respectively, related to its TRSs.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential tax implications of the OBBBA, but based on the Company’s preliminary assessment, it does not expect the legislation to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits.
