Watch: Watch Q1 2026 earnings for portfolio yield trends under the BDC structure and whether the three nonaccrual loans resolve or require additional reserves. The May 2027 bond maturity looms large — refinancing terms will reveal market confidence in the new business model.
Advanced Flower Capital Inc. completed its conversion from a REIT to a BDC on January 1, 2026, and has since grown its portfolio aggressively. Principal outstanding jumped from $317.4 million at year-end 2025 to $366.4 million as of February 25, 2026 — a 15% increase in under two months. The company closed a $60 million senior secured loan in January for the Stat and Morsby Group acquisition and committed $30 million to a healthcare benefits platform term loan in February. For fiscal 2025, AFCG posted distributable earnings of $0.39 per share for the full year but negative $0.12 in Q4. Three loans remain on nonaccrual with ongoing paydown efforts, and the CECL reserve stands at $46.1 million — 18.2% of loans at carrying value.
The BDC conversion opens up a broader origination runway beyond cannabis real estate, and the $49 million portfolio expansion since year-end shows the new mandate is already driving deal flow. But with three nonaccruals, a CECL reserve near 18%, and $77 million in unsecured bonds maturing in May 2027, execution on credit quality will determine whether the pivot works.
