 flows from operations as reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows totaled $211.2 million for 2024 and $209.4 million for 2023. The increase was primarily related to increased rental revenue related to additional sales-type lease income, lease extensions and placing development properties into service, partially offset by a decrease in cash flow due to property sales and increased interest expense. The underlying drivers that impact our working capital, and therefore cash flows from operations, are the timing of collection of rents, including reimbursements from tenants, payment of interest on debt and payment of operating and general and administrative costs. We believe the net-lease structure of the leases encumbering a majority of the properties in which we have an interest mitigates the risks of the timing of cash flows from operations since the payment and timing of operating costs related to the properties are generally borne directly by the tenant. The collection and timing of tenant rents are closely monitored by management as part of our cash management program. 

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities totaled $86.4 million in 2024 and $(183.5) million in 2023. Cash provided by investing activities primarily related to net proceeds received from the disposition of real estate, realization of the net investment in a sales-type lease, distributions from non-consolidated entities, loan receivable payments and redeeming investments in held-to-maturity securities. Cash used in investing activities related primarily to acquisitions of real estate, investments in real estate under construction, capital expenditures, lease costs, investments in non-consolidated entities and investments in held-to-maturity securities.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities totaled $(395.0) million in 2024 and $119.0 million in 2023. Cash used in financing activities in 2024 was primarily related to the repayment of the 2024 Senior Notes, the purchase of a noncontrolling interest and dividend and debt service payments, offset by contributions from noncontrolling interests. Cash provided by financing activities in 2023 was primarily related to the receipt of proceeds from the issuance of the 2028 Senior Notes and borrowings on the credit facility, offset by the repurchase of common shares to settle tax obligations, the purchase of a noncontrolling interest and dividend and debt service payments.
