• It's like a landlord for nursing homes and long-term care facilities, similar to how Simon Property Group (SPG) is a landlord for shopping malls.
• Think of it as a specialized real estate company, much like Prologis (PLD) for warehouses, but Strawberry Fields REIT provides the buildings for healthcare operators like nursing homes.

• Leasing of Skilled Nursing Facilities: Providing real estate space specifically designed and equipped for skilled nursing and rehabilitation services to healthcare operators.
• Leasing of Other Healthcare Properties: Offering various long-term care and healthcare-related real estate, which may include assisted living facilities or memory care, for lease to healthcare providers.

As Strawberry Fields REIT (STRW) is a fictional company, its specific customer base cannot be determined from real-world data. However, as a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), its major customers would typically be the entities that lease its properties.

For the purpose of this exercise, let's assume Strawberry Fields REIT (STRW) operates as an Industrial REIT, specializing in the ownership and leasing of logistics facilities, warehouses, and distribution centers. In this scenario, STRW sells primarily to other companies.

Major Customers (Assumed Industrial REIT Model):

Strawberry Fields REIT's primary customers would be large enterprises that require extensive logistics and distribution infrastructure. These include:

• E-commerce Retailers: Companies that need vast warehouse and fulfillment centers to support their online sales operations. These tenants often require modern, large-scale facilities in strategic locations.
  • Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN)
• Third-Party Logistics (3PL) Providers: Firms that manage warehousing, inventory, and transportation services for other businesses. They lease space to provide efficient supply chain solutions to their diverse client base.
  • FedEx Corporation (FDX)
  • United Parcel Service, Inc. (UPS)
• Traditional Retailers and Manufacturers: Businesses that require distribution centers to store and move goods to their physical stores, direct to consumers, or to other points in their supply chain.
  • Walmart Inc. (WMT)

These companies would enter into long-term lease agreements with Strawberry Fields REIT (STRW) for its industrial properties.

The accelerating trend of Aging in Place, enabled by advancements in remote monitoring technology, telehealth services, and the increasing availability of sophisticated home-based care options, poses a clear emerging threat. This trend could significantly reduce the long-term demand for traditional institutional senior living facilities, skilled nursing facilities, and other long-term care properties, fundamentally altering the real estate needs of the elderly care sector and impacting a REIT like Strawberry Fields, particularly if its portfolio includes such assets. This shift mirrors historical disruptions where new service delivery models (like Netflix displacing Blockbuster by offering a streaming alternative to physical rentals) undermined established physical asset-based businesses.

Strawberry Fields REIT (STRW) operates primarily in the U.S. healthcare real estate market, focusing on skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), assisted living facilities (ALFs), and long-term acute care hospitals (LTACHs).

The addressable markets for their main products and services in the U.S. are as follows:

• U.S. Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Market: This market was estimated at approximately USD 199.72 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 290.02 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.39% from 2025 to 2033. Another estimate places the U.S. skilled nursing facility market at USD 202.4 billion in 2025, anticipating it to reach USD 279.9 billion by 2035 with a CAGR of 3.3%. The market was also valued at USD 227.5 billion in 2022.
• U.S. Long-Term Care Market (which includes SNFs and ALFs): This broader market, encompassing services like nursing care, assisted living, and home healthcare, was estimated at USD 470.66 billion in 2024. It is expected to grow to USD 729.78 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 7.71% from 2025. Another source valued the U.S. long-term care market at USD 474.03 billion in 2024 and projects it to reach around USD 922.06 billion by 2034, with a CAGR of 6.86% from 2025 to 2034.

Strawberry Fields REIT (STRW) is expected to experience revenue growth over the next 2-3 years, driven by several key factors:

1. Acquisition of New Properties: The company's strategy includes the ongoing acquisition of skilled nursing and other healthcare-related facilities. Recent examples include the acquisition of nine skilled nursing facilities in Missouri for $59 million and an 80-bed skilled nursing facility in Oklahoma for $4.25 million, both of which are anticipated to significantly boost annual rents. Management anticipates at least 10% asset growth in the coming year, indicating a continued focus on expanding its portfolio within its regional footprint.
2. Annual Rent Escalations: A consistent driver of revenue growth for STRW is the built-in rent escalators within its long-term, triple-net leases. These leases typically include annual rent increases ranging from 1% to 3%. This contractual feature provides a predictable and recurring source of revenue growth.
3. Re-tenanting and New Master Leases: Strawberry Fields REIT actively engages in re-tenanting activities and the establishment of new master leases for its properties. This process can lead to higher rental income, as demonstrated by increased rental revenues resulting from lease renegotiations and the commencement of new master leases, such as one in Kentucky.
4. Demographic Tailwinds from an Aging Population: The broader healthcare industry, particularly skilled nursing facilities, benefits from the increasing demand driven by an aging population. Projections indicate that spending on skilled nursing facility (SNF) care is expected to grow significantly, positioning Strawberry Fields REIT to capitalize on this long-term demographic trend and the constrained supply of such facilities.
