INLAND REAL ESTATE INCOME TRUST, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2022

(Unaudited, dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts) 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Readers of this Quarterly Report should refer to the audited consolidated financial statements of Inland Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (which may be referred to herein as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) for the year ended December 31, 2021, which are included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as certain footnote disclosures contained in such audited consolidated financial statements have been omitted from this Quarterly Report.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

The Company was formed on August 24, 2011 to acquire and manage a portfolio of commercial real estate investments located in the United States. The Company is primarily focused on acquiring and owning retail properties and targets a portfolio substantially comprised of grocery-anchored properties. The Company has invested in joint ventures and may continue to invest in additional joint ventures or acquire other real estate assets if its management believes the expected returns from those investments exceed that of retail properties. The Company also may invest in real estate-related equity securities of both publicly traded and private real estate companies, as well as commercial mortgage-backed securities.


The Company has no employees. The Company is managed by IREIT Business Manager & Advisor, Inc. (the “Business Manager”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation (the “Sponsor”), pursuant to a Business Management Agreement with the Business Manager.

The Business Management Agreement with the Business Manager was amended and restated on February 11, 2019 to, among other things, eliminate all future acquisition and disposition fees.

On March 4, 2022, as reported in the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on the same date and the Company’s Form 8-K/A filed on March 7, 2022, the Company announced that the Company’s board of directors unanimously approved: (i) an Estimated Per Share NAV as of December 31, 2021, which serves as the per share purchase price for shares issued under the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan (as amended, the “DRP”) beginning with the first distribution payment to stockholders upon resumption of distributions and the DRP until the Company announces a new Estimated Per Share NAV, and (ii) that, in accordance with the SRP as further described below in Note 3 – “Equity,”, beginning with repurchases in April 2022 and until the Company announces a new Estimated Per Share NAV, any shares accepted for ordinary repurchases and “exceptional repurchases” will be repurchased at 80% of the Estimated Per Share NAV.

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to preserve cash for the payment of operating and other expenses, such as debt payments, the Company stopped paying distributions in the second quarter of 2020 and suspended its DRP and SRP. The suspension of the DRP was effective on June 6, 2020 and the suspension of the SRP was effective on June 26, 2020.

On June 29, 2021, the Company announced the lifting of the suspension of its DRP. The effective date of the DRP reinstatement was July 22, 2021. The Company also announced the lifting of the suspension of the SRP and its adoption of the fourth amendment and restatement of the SRP, with the first repurchase having occurred on August 16, 2021. See Note 3 – “Equity” for additional details.

At March 31, 2022, the Company owned 44 retail properties, totaling 6,481,262 square feet. The properties are located in 21 states. At March 31, 2022, the portfolio had a weighted average physical occupancy of 92.8% and economic occupancy of 93.0%.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Disclosures discussing all significant accounting policies are set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2022, under the heading Note 2 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2022, except as noted below.

General

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement, in all material respects, of the financial position and results of operations for the periods are presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.

Significant Risks and Uncertainties related to COVID-19 Pandemic

Currently, one of the most significant risks and uncertainties is the potential further adverse effect of the current pandemic of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19. A number of our tenants had temporarily closed their stores during 2020 and requested rent deferral or rent abatement during this pandemic. The Company’s deferred rent balance is $135 at March 31, 2022, which decreased from the deferred rent balance of $399 at December 31, 2021 and $4,457 at December 31, 2020, due primarily to collections of such rent.

However, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic further impacts the Company’s operations and those of our tenants will depend on future developments, including the impact of the Delta, Omicron or other variants of COVID-19 in the U.S. The impact cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic’s variants, the actions taken to contain the pandemic’s variants or mitigate their impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic’s variants and containment measures, among others.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of the effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

 

In April 2020, the FASB issued a question-and-answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of COVID-19. Under existing lease guidance, the Company would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant (treated with the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). The Lease Modification Q&A grants relief to entities, allowing them an election to not evaluate whether lease-related relief that lessors provide to mitigate the economic effects of COVID-19 on lessees is a lease modification under Topic 842, Leases. An entity that makes this election can then elect whether to apply the modification guidance (i.e. assume the relief was always contemplated by the contract or assume the relief was not contemplated by the contract). Both lessees and lessors may make this election. The Company has elected to apply such relief and avail itself of the election to avoid performing a lease by lease analysis.

Restricted Cash

Amounts included in restricted cash represent those required to be set aside by lenders for real estate taxes, insurance, capital expenditures and tenant improvements on our existing properties. These amounts also include post close escrows for tenant improvements, leasing commissions, master lease, general repairs and maintenance, and are classified as restricted cash on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 3 – EQUITY

The Company commenced an initial public “best efforts” offering (the “Offering”) on October 18, 2012, which concluded on October 16, 2015. The Company sold 33,534,022 shares of common stock generating gross proceeds of $834,399 from the Offering. As of March 31, 2022, there were 36,079,247 shares of common stock outstanding including 5,883,830 shares issued through the DRP, net of 3,348,579 shares repurchased through the SRP.

The Company provides the following programs to facilitate additional investment in the Company’s shares and to provide limited liquidity for stockholders.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

 

Through the DRP, the Company provides stockholders with the option to purchase additional shares from the Company by automatically reinvesting cash distributions, subject to certain share ownership restrictions. The Company does not pay any selling commissions or a marketing contribution and due diligence expense allowance in connection with the DRP. Pursuant to the DRP, the price per share for shares of common stock purchased under the DRP is equal to the estimated value of a share, as determined by the Company’s board of directors and reported by the Company from time to time, until the shares become listed for trading, if a listing occurs, assuming that the DRP has not been terminated or suspended in connection with such listing.

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to preserve cash for the payment of operating and other expenses, such as debt payments, the Company stopped paying distributions in the second quarter of 2020 and suspended its DRP and SRP. The suspension of the DRP was effective on June 6, 2020 and the suspension of the SRP was effective on June 26, 2020. On June 29, 2021, the Company announced the lifting of the suspension of its DRP. The effective date of the DRP reinstatement was July 22, 2021.

There were $1,849 and zero distributions reinvested through the DRP during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. See Note 1 – “Organization” for discussion on the suspension during 2020 and resumption of the DRP during 2021.

Share Repurchase Program

 

The Company adopted the SRP effective October 18, 2012, under which the Company is authorized to purchase shares from stockholders who purchased their shares from the Company or received their shares through a non-cash transfer and who have held their shares for at least one year. Purchases are in the Company’s sole discretion. In the case of repurchases made upon the death of a stockholder or qualifying disability (“Exceptional Repurchases”), as defined in the SRP, the one year holding period does not apply. On March 3, 2020 the Company’s board of directors adopted the Third A&R SRP. Under the Third A&R SRP, the Company is authorized to make ordinary repurchases and Exceptional Repurchases at a price equal to 80.0% of the “share price,” which is defined in the Third A&R SRP as an amount equal to the lesser of: (A) $25, as adjusted under certain circumstances, including, among other things, if the applicable shares were purchased from the Company at a discounted price; of (B) the most recently disclosed estimated value per share. Prior to the amendment, the Company was authorized to make Exceptional Repurchases at a price equal to 100% of the “share price.”

The Third A&R SRP provides the Company’s board of directors with the discretion to set the funding limit for share repurchases. The Third A&R SRP limits the dollar amount for any repurchases made by the Company each calendar quarter to an amount equal to a percentage determined in the sole discretion of the board on a quarterly basis that will not be less than 50% of the net proceeds from the DRP during the applicable quarter. The Company continues to limit the number of shares repurchased during any calendar year to 5% of the number of shares outstanding on December 31st of the previous calendar year, as adjusted for any stock splits or other combinations. The Company’s board of directors suspended the SRP effective June 26, 2020.

On June 29, 2021, the Company announced the lifting of the suspension of its share repurchase program and its adoption of the fourth amendment and restatement of the program. The effective date of the SRP reinstatement and the Fourth Amended and Restated Share Repurchase Program (the “Fourth SRP”) was August 12, 2021.

Pursuant to the Fourth SRP, any written request for treatment as an Exceptional Repurchase due to the death or qualifying disability of an owner that occurred between June 1, 2019 and May 31, 2020 (inclusive) was timely if received by the Company no later than January 31, 2022, and any written request for treatment as an Exceptional Repurchase due to the death or qualifying disability of an owner that occurred between June 1, 2020 and July 31, 2021, (inclusive) will be timely received if received by the Company no later than July 31, 2022.

10


 

If either or both of the aforementioned funding or repurchase limitations prevent the Company from repurchasing all of the shares offered for repurchase during a calendar quarter, the Company will repurchase shares on a pro rata basis within each of the following categories up to the repurchase limitations in the following order: (a) first, all Exceptional Repurchases and (b) second, all ordinary repurchases. The SRP will immediately terminate if the Company’s shares become listed for trading on a national securities exchange. In addition, the Company’s board of directors, in its sole discretion, may, at any time, amend, suspend or terminate the SRP.

Repurchases through the SRP were $924 and zero for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. There was zero liability related to the SRP at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. See Note 1 – “Organization” for further discussion on the suspension during 2020 and resumption of the SRP during 2021.

NOTE 4 – LEASES

The Company is lessor under approximately 700 retail operating leases. The remaining lease terms for the Company’s leases range from less than one year to 15 years. The Company considers the date on which it makes a leased space available to a lessee as the commencement date of the lease. At commencement, the Company determines the lease classification utilizing the classification tests under ASC 842. Options to extend a lease are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the tenant will exercise its option to extend. Termination penalties are included in income when there is a termination agreement, all the conditions of the agreement have been met and amounts due are considered collectible. Such termination fees are recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term in rental income. If an operating lease is modified and the modification is not accounted for as a separate contract, the Company accounts for the modification as if it were a termination of the existing lease and the creation of a new lease. The Company considers any prepaid or accrued rentals relating to the original lease as part of the lease payments for the modified lease.

Most of the revenue from the Company’s properties consists of rents received under long-term operating leases. Most leases require the tenant to pay fixed base rent paid monthly in advance, and to reimburse the Company for the tenant’s pro rata share of certain operating expenses including real estate taxes, special assessments, insurance, utilities, common area maintenance, management fees, and certain building repairs paid by the Company and recoverable under the terms of the lease. Under these leases, the Company pays all expenses and is reimbursed by the tenant for the tenant’s pro rata share of recoverable expenses paid.

 

Certain other tenants are subject to net leases which provide that the tenant is responsible for fixed base rent as well as all costs and expenses associated with occupancy. Under net leases where all expenses are paid directly by the tenant rather than the landlord, such expenses are not included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Under leases where all expenses are paid by the Company, subject to reimbursement by the tenant, the expenses are included within property operating expenses. As of January 1, 2019, the date on which the Company adopted the new leasing standard, reimbursements for common area maintenance are considered non-lease components that are permitted to be combined with rental income. The combined lease component and reimbursements for insurance and taxes are reported as rental income on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Rental income related to the Company's operating leases is comprised of the following:

The Company continues to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the collectability of lease obligations. As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s accounts and rent receivable, net balance was $18,134, which was net of an allowance for bad debts of $1,424 and included $135 of deferred rent receivable related to COVID-19 agreements negotiated with tenants. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s accounts and rent receivable, net balance was $18,560, which was net of an allowance for bad debts of $1,259 and included $399 of deferred rent receivable related to COVID-19 agreements negotiated with tenants. Such agreements generally allow tenants to defer the payment of a portion of rent with no substantive changes to the consideration in the original lease. Consistent with the guidance in the Lease Modification Q&A issued by the FASB, such deferrals affect the timing, but not the amount, of the lease obligations. The Company is accounting for these deferrals as if no changes to the lease were made. Under this accounting, the Company increases its rent receivable as tenant obligations accrue and continues to recognize rental income.

Credit Facility

On February 3, 2022, the Company entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) in respect of the Company’s credit facility with KeyBank National Association, individually and as administrative agent, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., PNC Capital Markets LLC and BofA Securities, Inc., as joint lead arrangers, and other lenders from time to time parties to the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Facility”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the aggregate total commitments under the Credit Facility were increased from $350,000 to $475,000. The Credit Facility consists of the “Revolving Credit Facility” providing revolving credit commitments in an aggregate amount of $200,000 and a term loan facility (the term loans funded under such commitments, the “Term Loan”) providing term loan commitments in an aggregate amount of $275,000 (increased from $150,000). The Credit Agreement provides the Company with the ability from time to time to increase the size of the Credit Facility up to a total of $825,000, subject to certain conditions. See “Note 14 – Subsequent Events” for discussion of an anticipated amendment to the Credit Agreement.

The Revolving Credit Facility matures on February 3, 2026, and the Company has the option to extend the maturity date for one additional year subject to the payment of an extension fee and certain other conditions. The Term Loan matures on February 3, 2027. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest equal to one-month Term SOFR plus a margin, the amount of which depends on the Company’s leverage ratio. 

13


 

At March 31, 2022, the Company had $79,000 outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $275,000 outstanding under the Term Loan. At March 31, 2022, the interest rates on the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan were 1.84% and 3.26%, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had a maximum amount of $121,000 available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement that governs the Credit Facility, including compliance with the covenants which could further limit the amount available.

The Company’s performance of the obligations under the Credit Facility, including the payment of any outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Facility, is guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company, including each of the subsidiaries of the Company which owns or leases any of the properties included in the pool of unencumbered properties comprising the borrowing base. Additional properties will be added to and removed from the pool from time to time to support amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility so long as at any time there are at least fifteen unencumbered properties with an unencumbered pool value of $300,000 or more. At March 31, 2022, there were 35 properties included in the pool of unencumbered properties.

 

The Credit Facility requires compliance with certain covenants, including a minimum tangible net worth requirement, a limitation on the use of leverage, a distribution limitation, restrictions on indebtedness and investment restrictions. It also contains customary default provisions including the failure to comply with the Company's covenants and the failure to pay when amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility become due. As of March 31, 2022, the Company is in compliance with all financial covenants related to the Credit Facility as amended.

Mortgages Payable

The mortgage loans require compliance with certain covenants, such as debt service ratios, investment restrictions and distribution limitations. As of March 31, 2022, the Company was current on all of its debt service payments. As of March 31, 2022 there was one mortgage loan which only required that the Company establish a cash maintenance account for the property. All other mortgage loans were in compliance with their financial covenants. All of the Company’s mortgage loans are secured by first mortgages on the respective real estate assets. As of March 31, 2022, the weighted average years to maturity for the Company’s mortgages payable was 2.6 years.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

The Company entered into interest rate swaps to fix certain of its floating LIBOR based debt under variable rate loans to a fixed rate to manage its risk exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The Company will generally match the maturity of the underlying variable rate debt with the maturity date on the interest swap. See Note 13 – "Fair Value Measurements" for further information.

The total amount of interest expense presented on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) was $5,567 and $6,042, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The location of the net gain or loss reclassified into income from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is reported in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The amount that is expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into income in the next twelve months is $2,167.

 

 

NOTE 7 – DISTRIBUTIONS

In 2020, due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to preserve cash for the payment of operating and other expenses, during the second quarter the Company’s board of directors rescinded the distribution that was declared in the first quarter of 2020, and the Company did not resume declaring distributions until June 29, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company declared a distribution to stockholders of record as of March 31, 2022 in the amount of $0.135600 per share, that was paid on or about April 7, 2022.

NOTE 8 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period (the “common shares”). Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the common shares plus common share equivalents. The Company excludes antidilutive restricted shares and units from the calculation of weighted-average shares for diluted EPS. As a result of a net loss in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, 3,709 shares and 3,914 shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS, because they would have been antidilutive.

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company may be subject, from time to time, to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes, based on currently available information, that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

NOTE 10 – EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

Under the Company’s Employee and Director Restricted Share Plan (“RSP”), restricted shares and restricted share units generally vest over a one to three year vesting period from the date of the grant, subject to the specific terms of the grant. In accordance with the RSP, restricted shares and restricted share units are issued to non-employee directors as compensation. Each restricted share and restricted share unit entitles the holder to receive one common share when it vests. Restricted shares are included in common stock outstanding on the date of vesting. Restricted share units are included in common stock outstanding on the date they are transferred to the non-employee director or their beneficiary. The grant-date value of the restricted shares and restricted share units is amortized over the vesting period representing the requisite service period. Compensation expense associated with the restricted shares and restricted share units issued to the non-employee directors was $19 and $18, in the aggregate, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $77 of unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested restricted shares and restricted share units, in the aggregate. The weighted average remaining period that compensation expense related to unvested restricted shares and restricted share units will be recognized is 1.6 years. There were no restricted shares and restricted share units that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

(a)

The Business Manager and its related parties are entitled to reimbursement for certain general and administrative expenses incurred by the Business Manager or its related parties relating to the Company’s administration. Such costs are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Unpaid amounts are included in due to related parties in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

(b)

The Business Manager and its related parties are entitled to reimbursement for certain legal costs related to securing financing for the Company. Such costs are capitalized as debt issuance costs on the consolidated balance sheets and amortized into interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income over the term of the related financing. Unpaid amounts are included in due to related parties in the consolidated balance sheets.

(c)

For each property that is managed by Inland Commercial Real Estate Services LLC (the “Real Estate Manager”) (and its predecessor), the Company pays a monthly real estate management fee of up to 1.9% of the gross income from any single-tenant, net-leased property, and up to 3.9% of the gross income from any other property type. The Real Estate Manager determines, in its sole discretion, the amount of the fee with respect to a particular property, subject to the limitations. For each property that is managed directly by the Real Estate Manager or its affiliates, the Company pays the Real Estate Manager a separate leasing fee. Further, in the event that the Company engages its Real Estate Manager to provide construction management services for a property, the Company pays a separate construction management fee. Leasing fees are included in deferred costs, net and construction management fees are included in building and other improvements in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company also reimburses the Real Estate Manager and its affiliates for property-level expenses that they pay or incur on the Company’s behalf, including the salaries, bonuses and benefits of persons performing services for the Real Estate Manager and its affiliates except for the salaries, bonuses and benefits of persons who also serve as an executive officer of the Real Estate Manager or the Company. Real estate management fees and reimbursable expenses are included in property operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

 

16


 

 

(d)

The Company pays the Business Manager an annual business management fee equal to 0.65% of its “average invested assets.” The fee is payable quarterly in an amount equal to 0.1625% of its average invested assets as of the last day of the immediately preceding quarter. “Average invested assets” means, for any period, the average of the aggregate book value of the Company’s assets, including all intangibles and goodwill, invested, directly or indirectly, in equity interests in, and loans secured by, properties, as well as amounts invested in securities and consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures or other partnerships, before reserves for amortization and depreciation or bad debts, impairments or other similar non-cash reserves, computed by taking the average of these values at the end of each month during the relevant calendar quarter. Unpaid amounts are included in due to related parties on the consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 13 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company defines fair value based on the price that it believes would be received upon sale of an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which are described below:

 

Level 1 −

 

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.

 

 

 

Level 2 −

 

Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

 

 

Level 3 −

 

Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The Company has estimated the fair value of its financial and non-financial instruments using available market information and valuation methodologies the Company believes to be appropriate for these purposes.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

 

For assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the table below presents the fair value of the Company’s cash flow hedges as well as their classification on the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The fair value of derivative instruments was estimated based on data observed in the forward yield curve which is widely observed in the marketplace. The Company also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the counterparty's nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements which utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads. The Company has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivative interest rate swap agreements and therefore has classified these in Level 2 of the hierarchy.

NOTE 14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In connection with the preparation of its financial statements, the Company has evaluated events that occurred subsequent to March 31, 2022 through the date on which these financial statements were issued to determine whether any of these events required disclosure in the financial statements.

Expected Acquisition of Portfolio of Eight Retail Shopping Center Properties

On May 5, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement (the “PSA”) to acquire, in the aggregate, eight retail shopping center properties from certain subsidiaries of Inland Retail Property Fund, LP for approximately $278,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The properties are located across seven states and collectively comprise approximately 686,851 square feet. The Properties are leased primarily to retail, restaurant and grocery tenants. Inland Retail Property Fund, LP is a fund managed by an affiliate of the Company’s sponsor and business manager and the PSA represents a related party transaction. The transaction is anticipated to close on May 17, 2022. The Company expects to fund the Purchase Price and any closing costs primarily by increasing the amount of the term loan borrowed under its credit facility by $300,000 and using cash on hand. The Company is in discussions with certain of the lenders under the Credit Agreement that governs the existing credit facility to amend the Credit Agreement to, among other things, modify certain provisions, including several covenants, impacted by this acquisition. The amendment is expected to close concurrently with the closing of the acquisition.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Words such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “variables,” “potential,” “continue,” “expand,” “maintain,” “create,” “strategies,” “likely,” “will,” “would” and variations of these terms and similar expressions, or the negative of these terms or similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but reflect the intent, belief or current expectations of the management of Inland Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (which we refer to herein as the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) based on their knowledge and understanding of the business and industry, the economy and other future conditions. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, and we caution stockholders not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors, including but not limited to the factors listed and described under “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2022, some of which are summarized below:

 

We are subject to risks associated with a pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of a contagious disease, such as the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, including negative impacts on our tenants and their respective businesses, and we have agreed to defer a significant amount of rent owed to us, which tenants will be obligated to pay over time in addition to their regular rent but which they may not be able or willing to do, particularly those whose results of operations or future prospects have been materially adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic or become so affected;

 

Market disruptions resulting from the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have adversely impacted many aspects of our operating results and financial condition, and ongoing or future disruptions from the pandemic, the war in Ukraine, increases in interest rates and supply chain shortage or otherwise may again adversely impact our results and financial condition, including our ability to service our debt obligations, borrow additional monies or pay distributions;

 

We have incurred net losses on a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) basis for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2021;

 

There is no established public trading market for our shares, our stockholders cannot currently sell their shares under our share repurchase program (as amended, “SRP”), which was suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic and may be suspended again, amended or terminated in our sole discretion, and even when repurchases are made pursuant to the SRP, the SRP is subject to limits, and stockholders may not be able to sell all of the shares they would like to sell;

 

Even if our stockholders are able to sell their shares under the SRP, or otherwise, they may not be able to recover the amount of their investment in our shares;

 

There is no assurance our board of directors will pursue a listing or other liquidity event at any time in the future, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic;

 

Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation (our “Sponsor”) may face a conflict of interest in allocating personnel and resources between its affiliates, our Business Manager (as defined below) and Inland Commercial Real Estate Services LLC, referred to herein as our “Real Estate Manager”;

 

We do not have arm’s-length agreements with our Business Manager, our Real Estate Manager or any other affiliates of our Sponsor;

 

We pay fees, which may be significant, to our Business Manager, Real Estate Manager and other affiliates of our Sponsor;

 

Our Business Manager and its affiliates face conflicts of interest caused by, among other things, their compensation arrangements with us, which could result in actions that are not in the long-term best interests of our stockholders;

 

Our properties may compete with the properties owned by other programs sponsored by our Sponsor or Inland Private Capital Corporation or other affiliates for, among other things, tenants;

 

Our Business Manager is under no obligation, and may not agree, to forgo or defer its business management fee;

 

If we fail to continue to qualify as a REIT, our operations and distributions to stockholders, if any, will be adversely affected; and

19


 

 

The Company’s strategic plan may continue to evolve or change over time, and there is no assurance we will be able to successfully achieve our board’s objectives under the strategic plan, including making strategic sales or purchases of properties, redeveloping properties or listing our common stock, within the timeframe we expect or would prefer or at all;

 

We may pursue redevelopment activities, which are subject to a number of risks, including, but not limited to: expending resources to determine the feasibility of the project or projects that are then not pursued or completed; construction delays or cost overruns; failure to meet anticipated occupancy or rent levels within the projected time frame, if at all; exposure to fluctuations in the general economy due to the significant time lag between commencing and completing the project; and reduced rental income during the period of time we are  redeveloping an asset or assets;

 

The use of the internet by consumers to shop is expected to continue to expand, and this expansion has likely been accelerated by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which would result in a further downturn in the business of our current tenants in their “brick and mortar” locations and could affect their ability to pay rent and their demand for space at our retail properties; and

 

We are subject to risks associated with any dislocations or liquidity disruptions that may exist or occur in credit markets of the United States from time to time, including disruptions and dislocations caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect our management’s view only as of the date of this Quarterly Report, and may ultimately prove to be incorrect or false. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results except as required by applicable law. We intend for these forward-looking statements to be covered by the applicable safe harbor provisions created by Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act.

The following discussion and analysis relates to the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 and as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. You should read the following discussion and analysis along with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this report.

We routinely post important information about us and our business, including financial and other information for investors, on our website. We encourage investors to visit our website at inland-investments.com/inland-income-trust from time to time, as information is updated and new information is posted.

Overview

We were formed as a Maryland corporation on August 24, 2011 and elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes (“REIT”) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with the year ended December 31, 2013. We have no employees. We are managed by our business manager, IREIT Business Manager & Advisor, Inc., referred to herein as our “Business Manager.”

We are primarily focused on acquiring and owning retail properties and intend to target a portfolio substantially comprised of grocery-anchored properties as described below. We have invested in joint ventures and may continue to invest in additional joint ventures or acquire other real estate assets such as office and medical office buildings, multi-family properties and industrial/distribution and warehouse facilities if management believes the expected returns from those investments exceed that of retail properties. We also may invest in real estate-related equity securities of both publicly traded and private real estate companies, as well as commercial mortgage-backed securities.

On March 4, 2022, our board of directors determined an estimated per share net asset value of our common stock of $20.20 as of December 31, 2021. At March 31, 2022, we had total assets of $1.1 billion on our balance sheet and owned 44 properties located in 21 states containing 6.5 million square feet. On May 5, 2022, we entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement to acquire a portfolio of eight retail shopping center properties located in seven states containing 686,851 square feet from certain subsidiaries of Inland Retail Property Fund, LP for approximately $278 million (the “Purchase Price”). A majority of our properties are multi-tenant, necessity-based retail shopping centers primarily located in major regional markets and growing secondary markets throughout the United States. As of March 31, 2022, 87% of our annualized base rental income was generated from grocery-anchored or grocery shadow-anchored shopping centers. A grocery shadow-anchored shopping center is a shopping center which we own that is located near a grocery store that we do not own but that generates traffic for our shopping center. The portfolio properties have staggered lease maturity dates. Grocery tenants accounted for 18% of our annualized base rent (“ABR”) as of March 31, 2022.

20


 

 

COVID-19 Pandemic

We continue to monitor the impact of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic on all aspects of our business and locations, including how it is impacting our tenants and vendors. The Company’s deferrals, modifications and rent abatements have proven effective helping our tenants endure the economic impacts of the pandemic. As of March 31, 2022, our deferred rent balance was $0.1 million, down from $0.4 million at December 31, 2021 and $4.5 million at December 31, 2020, due primarily to collections of such rent. As of March 31, 2022, we have not received any notice of, and are not otherwise aware of any of our tenants being in bankruptcy, voluntarily or otherwise. Tenants with which we have agreed to defer rent have generally been paying both their regular rental obligations as well as the amounts of deferred rent during the three months ended March 31, 2022. See Note 4 – “Leases” for additional information.

However, we are unable to predict with certainty the future impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties, including the effects of the Omicron variant or of the emergence and potential and actual spreading of any other variant of COVID-19 in the U.S. or any place from which our tenants may receive goods or services.

We rely on the Business Manager to manage our day-to-day operations. Though many people have been able to work remotely effectively, the business and operations of our Business Manager and its affiliates may also be adversely impacted by further coronavirus outbreaks, including illness or quarantine of members of its workforce, which may negatively impact on its ability to provide us services to the same degree as it had prior to the outbreak.

Inflation and Interest Rates

Inflationary pressures and rising interest rates could result in reductions in consumer spending and retailer profitability which could impact the Company’s ability to grow rents and tenant demand for new and existing store locations. Regardless of accelerating inflation levels, base rent under most of the Company’s long-term anchor leases will remain constant (subject to tenants’ exercise of renewal options at pre-negotiated rent increases) until the expiration of their lease terms. While many of these leases require tenants to pay their share of shopping center operating expenses (including common area maintenance, real estate tax and insurance expenses), the Company’s ability to collect the passed-through expense increases to tenants is dependent on their ability to absorb and pay these increases. Inflation may also impact other aspects of the Company’s operating costs, including fees paid to service providers, the cost to complete redevelopments and build-outs of recently leased vacancies and interest rate costs relating to variable rate loans and refinancings of lower fixed-rate indebtedness. While the Company has not been significantly impacted by any of these items to date, no assurances can be provided that these inflationary pressures will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business in the future.

Company Update – Strategic Plan

The Company has a strategic plan that includes the goals of providing a future liquidity event to investors and creating long-term stockholder value. The strategic plan centers around owning a portfolio of grocery-anchored properties with lower exposure to big box retailers. As part of this strategy, our management team continually evaluates possibilities for the opportunistic sale of certain assets with the goal of redeploying capital into the acquisition of strategically located grocery-anchored centers. Of the Company’s 824 leasable spaces, there are 110 occupied non-grocery big box (anchor spaces of at least 10,000 square feet) and six vacant big box spaces in the portfolio as of April 30, 2022. As part of the strategic plan, we sold three properties in the first quarter of 2020. We used the proceeds to pay down the Revolving Credit Facility. We are not actively marketing any properties as of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. We believe increasing the size and profitability of the Company would enhance our ability to complete a successful liquidity event, and to that end we seek and evaluate potential acquisitions and may, for example, opportunistically acquire a portfolio of retail properties that we believe complements our existing portfolio in terms of relevant characteristics such as tenant mix, demographics and geography and is consistent with our plan to own a portfolio substantially all of which is comprised of grocery-anchored or shadow-anchored properties. On May 5, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement to acquire, in the aggregate, eight retail shopping center properties from certain subsidiaries of Inland Retail Property Fund, LP, for approximately $278 million. For additional detail regarding this expected acquisition, please see Note 14 – “Subsequent Events,” which is included in our March 31, 2022 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. We may also consider other transactions, such as redeveloping certain of our properties or portions of certain of our properties, for example, big-box spaces, to repurpose them for alternative commercial or multifamily residential uses. We expect to consider liquidity events, including listing our common stock on a national securities exchange, but given our intention to opportunistically grow the portfolio, execute redevelopment opportunities, and execute strategic sales and acquisitions all in the context of (i) changes in retail market conditions resulting from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and other complex factors such as (ii) competition for our tenants from evolving internet businesses, (iii) the state of the commercial real estate market and financial markets, (iv) our ability to raise capital or borrow on terms that are acceptable to the Company in light of the use of the proceeds and (v) general economic conditions, among other factors, we do not know when we will complete a liquidity event. The timing of the completion of the strategic plan has already

21


 

extended beyond our original expectations and cannot be predicted with certainty. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully implement its strategic plan, for example by making strategic sales or purchases of properties or listing the Company’s common stock, within the timeframe we would prefer or at all.

We have entered into rent deferral agreements with certain tenants above that have generally been heavily impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is a majority of the top ten tenants. To the extent we have agreed with a tenant to defer rent due in the base year to a later period, that deferred rent is still reflected in the annualized base rent amount above.

Lease Expirations

The following table sets forth a summary, as of March 31, 2022, of lease expirations scheduled to occur during the remainder of 2022 and each of the calendar years from 2022 to 2030 and thereafter, assuming no exercise of renewal options or early termination rights for leases commenced on or prior to March 31, 2022. Annualized base rent represents the rent in-place of the applicable property at March 31, 2022. The table below includes ground leases. If ground leases are excluded, annualized base rent would equal $82,507 or $17.96 per square foot for total expiring leases.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our primary uses and sources of cash are as follows:

Uses

 

Sources

Interest and principal payments on mortgage loans and

Credit Facility

 

Cash receipts from our tenants

Property operating expenses

 

Sale of shares through the DRP

General and administrative expenses

 

Proceeds from new or refinanced mortgage loans

Distributions to stockholders

 

Borrowing on our Credit Facility

Fees payable to our Business Manager and Real Estate

Manager

 

Proceeds from sales of real estate (if any)*

Repurchases of shares under the SRP

 

Proceeds from issuance of securities (if any) other than through the DRP*

Acquisitions of real estate directly or through joint ventures*

 

 

 

 

 

 

Capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions

 

 

 

 

 

 

Redevelopments of entire properties or certain spaces within our properties*

 

 

 

 

 

 


*We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to sell properties or issue new securities to raise capital when we would like, for example, to increase the proportion of grocery-anchored or shadow-anchored properties or increase the size of our portfolio of properties, or under terms that would be acceptable to us considering factors such as the anticipated use of the proceeds.

We are not currently actively marketing any properties.

At March 31, 2022, we had $79 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $275 million outstanding under the Term Loan. At March 31, 2022 the interest rates on the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan were 1.84% and 3.26%, respectively. On February 3, 2022, we extended the Revolving Credit Facility maturity date to February 3, 2026 plus a twelve month extension option. We also increased the Term Loan outstanding balance to $275 million which now matures on February 3, 2027. The Company expects to enter into an amendment to its Credit Agreement to increase the size of the Term Loan to $575 million and modify several covenants to fund the Company’s acquisition of a portfolio of eight retail shopping center properties from Inland Retail Property Fund, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, that is expected to occur on May 17, 2022. As of May 11, 2022, we had $121 million available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to the terms and conditions, including compliance with the covenants, of the Credit Agreement that governs the Credit Facility. Although $121 million is the maximum available, covenant limitations affect what we can actually draw, and we expect to have substantially less than $121 million actually available to draw or otherwise undertake as additional debt after completing the aforementioned acquisition of the eight properties and increasing the amount of the Term Loan. By “additional debt,” we mean debt in addition to existing debt such as existing mortgages. The properties comprising the borrowing base for the Credit Facility are not available to be used as collateral for other debt unless removed from the borrowing base, which would shrink availability under the Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2022, we had total debt outstanding of $596.8 million, excluding mortgage premiums and unamortized debt issuance costs, which bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 3.22% per annum. As of March 31, 2022, the weighted average years to maturity for our debt was 3.8 years. As of both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our borrowings were 44% of the purchase price of our investment properties. At March 31, 2022 our cash and cash equivalents balance was $9.2 million.

In the next twelve months, we have two mortgage loans maturing with an aggregate principal balance of $26.8 million, which we intend to repay with cash flows from operating activities or by drawing on the Revolving Credit Facility. 

To preserve cash for the payment of operating and other expenses, such as debt payments, during the second quarter of 2020 our board of directors rescinded the distribution that was declared in the first quarter of 2020, and we did not declare another distribution until June 29, 2021. We also suspended our DRP and SRP. The suspension of the DRP was effective on June 6, 2020 and the suspension of the SRP was effective on June 26, 2020. On June 29, 2021, we reinstated the DRP and the SRP. The effective date of the DRP reinstatement was July 22, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we declared distributions on our common stock in the amount of $0.135600 per share to stockholders of record as of March 31, 2022 that was paid on or about April 7, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we repurchased $0.9 million of shares of common stock.

We have delayed making non-essential capital improvements and other non-essential capital expenditures at our properties since the onset of the pandemic, where possible, to preserve cash and expect to continue to delay non-essential capital expenditures until they become essential or until the risk of adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our tenants subsides and there is clarity on our tenants’ ability and willingness to pay rent and meet other lease obligations and, ultimately, on the performance of our shopping centers. As we have seen rent collections increasing during 2021 and into 2022, we have been gradually funding capital expenditures at our properties, and we do not expect the delay in making these capital expenditures to have any material effect on our tenants or our ability to lease space. In the three months ended March 31, 2022, we spent $0.3 million more (46% more) on capital expenditures than we did in the three months ended March 31, 2021. Additionally, we do not anticipate a material effect on our liquidity from returning to pre-pandemic levels of capital expenditures, assuming the businesses of our tenants negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic continue to improve or they otherwise pay their rent.

As of March 31, 2022, we have paid all interest and principal amounts when due, and are in compliance with all financial covenants related to the Credit Facility as amended.

Operating activities

The increase in cash from operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to a payment during the three months ended March 31, 2021 for the Q3 and Q4 2020 business management fees offset partially by reduced collections of deferred rent from our tenants during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as the vast majority of outstanding deferred rent was collected by the end of 2021.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, cash used to fund debt obligations decreased $6.6 million from the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily due to draws on the credit facility during the three months ended March 31, 2021 that did not recur in 2022, offset by $3.6 million of debt issuance costs paid related to the Credit Facility during the three months ended March 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we generated proceeds from the sale of shares pursuant to the DRP of $1.8 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, share repurchases were $0.9 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we paid $4.9 million in distributions. The increases in distributions paid, proceeds from DRP and share repurchases in 2022 compared to 2021 are due to the reinstatement of the authorization and payment of distributions, the DRP and the SRP, respectively, during the second half of 2021.

Distributions were funded by cash flow from operating activities and cash on hand during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to preserve cash for the payment of operating and other expenses, such as debt payments, we had not paid any distributions since the first quarter of 2020. On or about July 26, 2021, we resumed paying distributions on our common stock with this first distribution in the amount of $0.135600 per share to stockholders of record as of June 30, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we declared distributions on our common stock of $0.135600 per share to stockholders of record as of March 31, 2022 that was paid on or about April 7, 2022.

Results of Operations

The following discussions are based on our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. Dollar amounts are stated in thousands.

This section describes and compares our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. We generate primarily all of our net operating income from property operations. All 44 investment properties we currently own were held for the entirety of both periods presented. No properties were acquired or sold in either period presented.

Net operating income is a supplemental non-GAAP performance measure that we believe is useful to investors in measuring the operating performance of our property portfolio because our primary business is the ownership of real estate, and net operating income excludes various items included in GAAP net income that do not relate to, or are not indicative of, our property operating performance, such as depreciation and amortization and parent-level corporate expenses (including general and administrative expenses). Same store net operating income is useful because it eliminates differences in net operating income resulting from the acquisition or disposition of properties during the periods presented and therefore provides a better comparison of the operating performance of our properties between periods.

The following tables present the property net operating income prior to straight-line income (expense), net, amortization of intangibles, interest, and depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, along with a reconciliation to net loss, calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Net loss. Net loss was $1,258 and $1,328 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

Total property net operating income. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, property net operating income decreased $602, total property income decreased $667, and total property operating expenses including real estate tax expense decreased $65.

 

The decrease in total property income is primarily due to a decrease in recovery income due to a lower recovery percentage and a slight increase in bad debt expense during the three months ended March 31, 2022. See Note 4 – “Leases” for additional information regarding the effects of deferred rent and bad debt on rental income.

 

Straight-line income (expense), net. Straight-line income (expense), net decreased $229 in 2022 compared to 2021. This decrease is primarily due to lower rent abatements during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Amortization of intangibles and lease incentives. Income from the amortization of intangibles and lease incentives decreased $8 in 2022 compared to 2021.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $99 in 2022 compared to 2021. The increase is primarily due to higher legal and professional fees during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Business management fee. Business management fees increased $10 in 2022 compared to 2021.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased $601 in 2022 compared to 2021. The decrease is primarily due to fully amortized assets in 2022 compared to 2021.

Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $475 in 2022 compared to 2021. The decrease is primarily due to lower average interest rates and a decrease in average debt outstanding in 2022 compared to 2021. 

Interest and other income. Interest and other income decreased $58 in 2022 compared to 2021. 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. GAAP assumes the value of real estate assets is reduced over time due primarily to non-cash depreciation and amortization expense. Because real estate values may rise and fall with market conditions, operating results from real estate companies that use U.S. GAAP accounting may not present a complete view of their performance. We use Funds from Operations, or “FFO”, a widely accepted metric to evaluate our performance. FFO provides a supplemental measure to compare our performance and operations to other REITs. Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or “NAREIT”, has promulgated a standard known as FFO, which it believes more accurately reflects the operating performance of a REIT. On November 7, 2018, NAREIT’s Executive Board approved the White Paper restatement, effective December 15, 2018. The purpose of the restatement was not to change the fundamental definition of FFO but to clarify existing guidance. The restated definition of FFO by NAREIT is net income (loss) computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of certain real estate assets, excluding impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate and excluding gains and losses from change in control. We have adopted the restated NAREIT definition for computing FFO. Previously presented periods were not impacted.

Under U.S. GAAP, acquisition related costs are treated differently if the acquisition is a business combination or an asset acquisition. An acquisition of a single property will likely be treated as an asset acquisition as opposed to a business combination and acquisition related costs will be capitalized rather than expensed when incurred. Publicly registered, non-listed REITs typically engage in a significant amount of acquisition activity in the early years of their operations, and thus incur significant acquisition related costs, during these initial years. Although other start up entities may engage in significant acquisition activity during their initial years, publicly registered, non-listed REITs are unique in that they typically have a limited timeframe during which they acquire a significant number of properties and thus incur significant acquisition related costs. Due to the above factors and other unique features of publicly registered, non-listed REITs, the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives, or “IPA”, an industry trade group, published a standardized measure known as Modified Funds from Operations, or “MFFO”, which the IPA has promulgated as a supplemental measure for publicly registered non-listed REITs and which may be another appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a non-listed REIT. We believe it is appropriate to use MFFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance because we believe that, when compared year-over-year, both before and after we have deployed all of our Offering proceeds and are no longer incurring a significant amount of acquisition fees or other related costs, it reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income.

MFFO excludes expensed costs associated with investing activities, some of which are acquisition related costs that affect our operations only in periods in which properties are acquired, and other non-operating items that are included in FFO, such as straight-lining of rents as required by U.S. GAAP. By excluding costs that we consider more reflective of acquisition activities and other non-operating items, the use of MFFO provides another measure of our operating performance once our portfolio is stabilized. Because MFFO may be a recognized measure of operating performance within the non-listed REIT industry, MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it may be useful in order to evaluate our performance against other non-listed REITs. Like FFO, MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under U.S. GAAP, as detailed in the table below, and MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we continue to acquire a significant amount of properties. MFFO should only be used as a measurement of our operating performance while we are acquiring a significant amount of properties because it excludes, among other things, acquisition costs incurred during the periods in which properties were acquired.

30


 

We believe our definition of MFFO, a non-U.S. GAAP measure, is consistent with the IPA's Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations, or the “Practice Guideline,” issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for the following items, as applicable, included in the determination of U.S. GAAP net income: acquisition fees and expenses; amounts relating to straight-line rents and amortization of above and below market lease assets and liabilities, accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; nonrecurring gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis.

Our presentation of FFO and MFFO may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other REITs. We believe that the use of FFO and MFFO provides a more complete understanding of our operating performance to stockholders and to management, and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs. Neither FFO nor MFFO is intended to be an alternative to “net income” or to “cash flows from operating activities” as determined by U.S. GAAP as a measure of our capacity to pay distributions. Management uses FFO and MFFO to compare our operating performance to that of other REITs and to assess our operating performance.

Our FFO and MFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are calculated as follows:

Subsequent Events

For information related to subsequent events, reference is made to Note 14 – “Subsequent Events” which is included in our March 31, 2022 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk

We are exposed to various market risks, including those caused by changes in interest rates and commodity prices. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates and commodity prices. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We have entered into, and may continue to enter into, financial instruments to manage and reduce the impact of changes in interest rates. The counterparties are, and are expected to continue to be, major financial institutions.

 

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to purchase properties or other real estate assets and to fund capital expenditures.

 

As of March 31, 2022, we had outstanding debt of $596.8 million, excluding mortgage premium and unamortized debt issuance costs, bearing interest rates ranging from 1.84% to 4.50% per annum. The weighted average interest rate was 3.22%, which includes the effect of interest rate swaps. As of March 31, 2022, the weighted average years to maturity for our mortgages and credit facility payable was 3.8 years.

 

31


 

 

As of March 31, 2022, our fixed-rate debt consisted of secured mortgage financings with a carrying value of $112.6 million and a fair value of $106.7 million. Changes in interest rates do not affect interest expense incurred on our fixed-rate debt until their maturity or earlier repayment, but interest rates do affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt obligations. If market interest rates were to increase by 1% (100 basis points), the fair market value of our fixed-rate debt would decrease by $3.5 million at March 31, 2022. If market interest rates were to decrease by 1% (100 basis points), the fair market value of our fixed-rate debt would increase by $3.7 million at March 31, 2022.

As of March 31, 2022, we had $79 million of debt or 13.2% of our total debt, excluding mortgage premium and unamortized debt issuance costs, bearing interest at variable rates with a weighted average interest rate equal to 1.84% per annum. We had variable rate debt subject to swap agreements of $405.2 million, or 67.9% of our total debt, excluding mortgage premium and unamortized debt issuance costs, at March 31, 2022.

If interest rates on all debt which bears interest at variable rates as of March 31, 2022 increased by 1% (100 basis points), the increase in interest expense on all debt would decrease earnings and cash flows by $0.8 million annually. If interest rates on all debt which bears interest at variable rates as of March 31, 2022 decreased by 1% (100 basis points), interest expense would increase earnings and cash flows by the same amount.

With regard to variable rate financing, our Business Manager assesses our interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. Our Business Manager maintains risk management control systems to monitor interest rate cash flow risk attributable to both of our outstanding or forecasted debt obligations as well as our potential offsetting hedge positions.

We use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates on loans secured by our assets. Derivative instruments may include interest rate swap contracts, interest rate cap or floor contracts, futures or forward contracts, options or repurchase agreements. Our actual hedging decisions are determined in light of the facts and circumstances existing at the time of the hedge. We have used derivative financial instruments, specifically interest rate swap contracts, to hedge against interest rate fluctuations on variable rate debt, which exposes us to both credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty will owe us, which creates credit risk for us because the counterparty may not perform. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. We seek to manage the market risk associated with interest-rate contracts by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. There is no assurance we will be successful.

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority, the authority which regulates LIBOR, announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York organized the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, which identified the SOFR as its preferred alternative to LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. Subsequently, in November 2020, the Intercontinental Exchange (“ICE”) Benchmark Administration Limited (“IBA”), the administrator of LIBOR, announced that it would consult on its intention to cease the publication of the one-week and two-month USD LIBOR settings immediately following December 31, 2021 and the remaining USD LIBOR settings immediately following the LIBOR publication on June 30, 2023. We are not able to predict when LIBOR may be limited or discontinued or when there will be sufficient liquidity in the SOFR market. We are monitoring and evaluating the risks related to potential changes in LIBOR availability, which include potential changes in interest paid on debt and amounts received and paid on interest rate swaps. In addition, the value of debt or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR could also be impacted when LIBOR is limited or discontinued, and contracts must be transitioned to a new alternative rate. In some instances, transitioning to an alternative rate may require negotiation with lenders and other counterparties and could present challenges. The consequences of these developments cannot be entirely predicted and could include an increase in the cost of our variable rate debt.

On February 3, 2022, we refinanced our Credit Facility, and the interest rate benchmark used in this agreement has changed from LIBOR to SOFR.

While we expect the tenors of LIBOR that are relevant to the Company to be available in substantially its current form through June 30 2023, it is possible that one or more of such LIBOR tenors will become unavailable prior to that time. This could occur, for example, if a sufficient number of banks decline to make submissions to the LIBOR administrator. In that case, the risks associated with the transition to an alternative reference rate would be accelerated or magnified. Any of these events, as well as the other uncertainty surrounding the transition to LIBOR, could adversely affect us.

The following risk factors amend and supplement the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Geopolitical instability due to the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine may adversely impact the U.S., Europe and global economies.

On February 24, 2022, Russian troops invaded Ukraine starting a military conflict, the length and breadth of which is highly unpredictable. Coupled with existing supply disruptions and changes in Federal Reserve policies on interest rates, this war has exacerbated, and may continue to exacerbate, inflation and significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain disruptions.

Additionally, the U.S., the European Union, and other countries, as well as other public and private actors and companies have imposed sanctions and other penalties on Russia including removing Russian-based financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication payment system and restricting imports of Russian oil, liquefied natural gas and coal. These sanctions have caused supply disruptions in the oil and gas markets and could continue to cause significant increases in energy prices, which could have a material effect on inflation and may trigger a recession in the U.S. These factors may adversely impact the business conducted by each of our tenants and ultimately their ability to pay rents as they come due. As a result, our financial condition and results of operations may be negatively affected since our revenue is largely dependent on the success and economic viability of our tenants.

These and other sanctions that may be imposed as well as the ongoing conflict could further adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and cause further instability, negatively impacting liquidity in the capital markets and potentially making it more difficult for us to access additional debt or equity capital on attractive terms in the future.

In addition, the U.S. government has warned of the potential for Russian cyberattacks. The risk of Russian cyberattacks may also create market volatility and economic uncertainty particularly if these attacks occur and spread to a broad array of countries and networks.

Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Recent Sales of Unregistered Equity Securities

During the period covered by this quarterly report, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act.

Share Repurchase Program

Our board of directors, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend (in whole or in part), or terminate our SRP. In the event that we amend, suspend or terminate the SRP, however, we will send stockholders notice of the change at least thirty days prior to the change, and we will disclose the change in a report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on either Form 8-K, Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as appropriate. Further, our board reserves the right in its sole discretion, at any time, and from time to time to reject any requests for repurchases.

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to preserve cash for the payment of operating and other expenses, such as debt payments, our board of directors suspended our SRP effective on June 26, 2020. No shares were repurchased during the period covered by this quarterly report. Any unfulfilled repurchase requests will automatically roll over for processing under the terms and conditions of the SRP when we restart the plan, unless a stockholder withdraws the request for repurchase.

On June 29, 2021, we announced the lifting of the suspension of our share repurchase program and adoption of the fourth amendment and restatement of the program. The effective date of the SRP reinstatement and the Fourth Amended and Restated Share Repurchase Program (the “Fourth SRP”) was August 12, 2021.

Our board of directors has amended and restated the SRP primarily to accommodate requests for Exceptional Repurchases the deadline for which overlapped with the aforementioned suspension of the SRP. Pursuant to the Fourth SRP, any written request for treatment as an Exceptional Repurchase due to the death or qualifying disability of an owner that occurred between June 1, 2019 and May 31, 2020 (inclusive) was timely received by us if received by January 31, 2022, and any written request for treatment as an Exceptional Repurchase due to the death or qualifying disability of an owner that occurred between June 1, 2020 and July 31, 2021, (inclusive) will be timely received if received by us no later than July 31, 2022.

The table below sets forth the number of shares we repurchased pursuant to our SRP during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
