Gregory Silvers, President and CEO of EPR Properties, discussed the company's strategy and performance in several interviews with CNBC's Jim Cramer between 2015 and 2016. He described EPR's portfolio of entertainment, recreation, and education properties, including movie theaters, ski resorts, golf complexes, and charter schools, as benefiting from a shift toward what he called an "economy of experience," where consumers prioritize communal activities over material goods. Silvers highlighted ongoing investments in theater upgrades, such as luxury reclining seats and expanded food and beverage options, which he said have driven box office growth and enhanced property value. He also addressed concerns about interest rate hikes, stating that the company could continue to grow and maintain its monthly dividend even in a rising rate environment. Silvers detailed specific transactions, including the acquisition of Northstar California ski resort and amusement parks, funded partly through stock issuance, and a structured ground lease deal for a casino property in upstate New York, where EPR would receive percentage rent without contributing to construction costs. He noted the company's decision to cap its ski exposure at about 10% of its portfolio and strengthen credit through a mortgage arrangement with Oxi Real Estate. Silvers also discussed the growth of public charter schools as a real estate opportunity, citing over a million students on waiting lists, and emphasized EPR's approach of being a knowledge-driven, value-add partner rather than a commodity capital supplier. He expressed confidence in the company's repeatable model, citing raised earnings guidance and a history of annual dividend increases.
