NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business

NETSTREIT Corp. (“Successor” or the “Company”) was incorporated on October 11, 2019 as a Maryland corporation and commenced operations on December 23, 2019. The Company conducts its operations through NETSTREIT, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). NETSTREIT GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership.

The Company elected to be treated and to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with its short taxable year ended December 31, 2019 upon the filing of its U.S. federal income tax return for such taxable year. Additionally, the Operating Partnership formed NETSTREIT Management TRS, LLC (“NETSTREIT TRS”), which together with the Company jointly elected to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary under Section 856(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The Company is structured as an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust (commonly referred to as an “UPREIT”) and is an internally managed real estate company that acquires, owns and manages a diversified portfolio of single-tenant, retail commercial real estate leased on a long-term basis to high credit quality tenants across the United States. As of June 30, 2021, the Company owned 266 properties, located in 39 states, including two properties under development, and an additional property under development with a non-binding option to purchase, for a total of 267 properties.

Private Offering and Formation Transactions

On December 23, 2019, the Company completed a series of transactions (collectively the “Private Offering”) pursuant to which the Company sold 8,860,760 shares of common stock at $19.75 per share in a private placement under Rule 144A and Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In connection with the Private Offering, the Company completed the formation transactions described below. On January 30, 2020, the initial purchaser in the Private Offering exercised its over-allotment option to purchase 2,936,885 shares of the Company’s common stock, which were delivered on February 6, 2020. The Company contributed the net proceeds of $219.0 million from the Private Offering to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 11,797,645 Class A units of limited partnership of the Operating Partnership (“Class A OP Units”). Upon completion of the Private Offering and the over-allotment option, noncontrolling interest holders owned approximately 27.4% of the Operating Partnership (the Operating Partnership issued total Class A and Class B OP Units of 15,449,794 and 796,870, respectively).

Concurrently with the closing of the Private Offering, EverSTAR Income and Value Fund V, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Predecessor”), was merged with and into the Operating Partnership, with the Operating Partnership surviving, and the continuing investors in the Operating Partnership receiving an aggregate of 3,652,149 Class A OP Units, other than the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, who received 8,884 Class B units of limited partnership of the Operating Partnership (“Class B OP Units,” and collectively with Class A OP Units, “OP Units”), and an affiliate of the Predecessor’s general partner, which received 287,234 Class B OP Units.

The Operating Partnership entered into a contribution agreement with EBA EverSTAR LLC, a Texas limited liability company, to internalize the Company’s management infrastructure, whereby EBA EverSTAR LLC contributed 100% of the membership interests in EBA EverSTAR Management, LLC, a Texas limited liability company and the manager of the Predecessor, to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 500,752 Class B OP Units. In connection with the internalization, EBA EverSTAR Management, LLC was re-domiciled in Delaware and its name was changed to NETSTREIT Management, LLC. A 0.01% interest in NETSTREIT Management, LLC was issued to NETSTREIT TRS.

Concurrently with the consummation of the Private Offering, the Company entered into a $175.0 million term loan and $250.0 million revolving credit facility. On December 23, 2019, in connection with the acquisition of the Predecessor, the Company fully drew down on its term loan and used the proceeds to acquire the Predecessor, which concurrently settled its outstanding debt facilities. As part of the acquisition, the Company did not assume any obligations under the Predecessor’s then outstanding debt facilities.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and the Company’s net income (loss) is reduced by the portion of net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Interim Unaudited Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto on the Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, which provide a more complete understanding of the Company’s accounting policies, financial position, operating results, business properties, and other matters. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

Table of Contents
Noncontrolling Interests

The Company presents noncontrolling interests, which represents OP Units, and classifies such interests as a component of permanent equity, separate from the Company's stockholders’ equity. Noncontrolling interests were created as part of an asset acquisition and recognized at fair value as of the date of the transaction. Effective with the Company’s initial public offering, each limited partner of the Operating Partnership has the right to require the Operating Partnership to redeem part or all of its OP Units for cash, based upon the value of an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock at the time of the redemption, or, at the Company’s election, shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments and the restrictions on ownership and transfer of the Company’s common stock. The election to pay cash or issue common stock is solely within the control of the Company to satisfy a noncontrolling interest holder's redemption request.

Net income or loss of the Operating Partnership is allocated to its noncontrolling interests based on the noncontrolling interests’ ownership percentages in the Operating Partnership throughout the period. Ownership percentage is calculated by dividing the number of OP Units held by the noncontrolling interests by the total OP Units outstanding.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the useful lives of real estate assets, lease accounting, real estate impairment assessments, and allocation of fair value of purchase consideration. These estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions which management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis and makes revisions to these estimates and related disclosures as experience develops or new information becomes known. Further, the uncertainty over the ultimate impact COVID-19 will have on the global economy and the Company’s business makes any estimates and assumptions as of June 30, 2021 inherently less certain than they would be absent the current and potential impacts of COVID-19. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform with current period presentation. Transaction costs within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income were previously included within the caption “general and administrative.”

Risk and Uncertainties

COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was reported worldwide, resulting in COVID-19 being declared a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020 the U.S. President announced a National Emergency relating to the disease. COVID-19 and the measures taken to limit its spread have, and may continue to, negatively impact the economy across many industries, including industries in which our tenants operate. The impacts may continue and increase in severity as the duration of the pandemic lengthens or new variants are identified. As a result, the Company is not yet able to determine the full impact of COVID-19 on its operations, and therefore, whether any such impact will be material. However, the Company’s operations and cash flows during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were not materially impacted by COVID-19. The Company has collected 100.0% of all rent payments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. In addition, the Company has not provided for any rent abatements or deferrals since August 1, 2020.

The Company also adopted an optional remote-work policy and other physical distancing policies for its corporate office. The Company does not anticipate these policies to have any adverse impact on its ability to continue to operate its business. Transitioning to a remote-work environment has not had a material adverse impact on the Company's general ledger system, internal controls or controls and procedures related to its financial reporting process.

Table of Contents
Real Estate Held for Investment

Real estate is recorded and stated at cost less any provision for impairment. Assets are recognized at fair value at acquisition date. For properties developed by the Company, all direct and indirect costs related to planning, development and construction, including interest, real estate taxes and other miscellaneous costs incurred during the construction period, are capitalized for financial reporting purposes and recorded as property under development until construction has been completed.

The Company evaluates each acquisition transaction to determine whether the acquired asset meets the definition of a business and therefore accounted for as a business combination or if the acquisition transaction should be accounted for as an asset acquisition. Under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business” (“ASU 2017-01”), an acquisition does not qualify as a business when substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets or the acquisition does not include a substantive process in the form of an acquired workforce or an acquired contract that cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort or delay. Transaction costs related to acquisitions that qualify as asset acquisitions are capitalized as part of the cost basis of the acquired assets, while transaction costs for acquisitions that are deemed to be acquisitions of a business are expensed as incurred.

The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired properties accounted for as asset acquisitions to tangible and identifiable intangible assets or liabilities based on their relative fair values. Tangible assets may include land, buildings, site improvements and tenant improvements. Intangible assets include the value of in-place leases and above-market leases and intangible liabilities include below-market leases.

The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property with an in-place operating lease is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to the tangible assets based on the fair value of the tangible assets. The fair value of in-place leases is determined by considering estimates of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods, current market conditions, as well as costs to execute similar leases based on the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. The Company estimates the cost to execute leases with terms similar to the remaining lease terms of the in-place leases, including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. The fair value of above-market or below-market leases is recorded based on the net present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between the contractual amount to be paid pursuant to the in-place lease and the Company’s estimate of the fair market lease rate for the corresponding in-place lease, measured over the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease including any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, the Company utilizes a number of sources, including real estate valuations prepared by independent valuation firms. The Company also considers information and other factors including market conditions, the industry that the tenant operates in, characteristics of the real estate; e.g., location, size, demographics, value and comparative rental rates; tenant credit profile and the importance of the location of the real estate to the operations of the tenant’s business. Additionally, the Company considers information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired. Based on these inputs for measuring and allocating the fair value of real estate acquisitions, the Company utilizes both observable market data (categorized as level 2 on the three-level valuation hierarchy of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement), and unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own internal assumptions (categorized as level 3 under ASC Topic 820).

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets:

Buildings
13 – 35 years
Building improvements15 years
Tenant improvementsShorter of the term of the related lease or useful life
Acquired in-place leasesRemaining terms of the respective leases
Assembled workforce3 years
Computer equipment3 years

Table of Contents
Total depreciation and amortization expense was $7.1 million and $3.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Total depreciation and amortization expense was $13.0 million and $5.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Depreciation expense on real estate held for investment and computer equipment was $4.9 million and $2.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Depreciation expense on real estate held for investment and computer equipment was $9.0 million and $3.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Amortization expense on acquired in-place lease and assembled workforce intangible assets and leasing commissions were $2.2 million and $0.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Amortization expense on acquired in-place lease and assembled workforce intangible assets and leasing commissions were $4.0 million and $1.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred; major renewals and betterments that extend the useful life or improve the operating capacity of the asset are capitalized. Upon the sale or disposition of a property, the asset and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the condensed consolidated balance sheets with the difference between the proceeds received, net of sales costs, and the carrying value of the asset group recorded as a gain or loss on sale, subject to impairment considerations.

Assets Held for Sale

Properties classified as held for sale, including the related intangibles, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets include only those properties available for immediate sale in their present condition, which are actively being marketed, and for which management believes that it is probable that a sale of the property will be completed within one year. Properties held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated selling costs. No depreciation expense or amortization expense is recognized on properties held for sale and the related intangible assets or liabilities once they have been classified as such. Only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations are presented as discontinued operations. Accordingly, we have not reclassified results of operations for properties disposed during the interim period ended June 30, 2021 or held for sale as discontinued operations, as these events are a normal part of the Company’s operations and do not represent strategic shifts in the Company’s operations. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were five and three properties, respectively, classified as held for sale.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Fair value measurement of an asset occurs when events or changes in circumstances related to an asset indicate that the carrying amount of the asset is no longer recoverable. If indicators are present, the Company will prepare a projection of the undiscounted future cash flows of the property, excluding interest charges, and determine if the carrying amount of the real estate is recoverable. When a carrying amount is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair market value. The Company estimates fair value using data such as operating income, estimated capitalization rates or multiples, leasing prospects, local market information, and with regard to assets held for sale, based on the estimated or negotiated selling price, less estimated costs of disposal. Based on these unobservable inputs, the Company determined that its valuations of impaired real estate and intangible assets fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all cash balances, money market accounts and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Restricted cash includes cash restricted for property tenant improvements and cash proceeds from the sale of assets held by qualified intermediaries in anticipation of the acquisition of replacement properties in tax-free exchanges under Section 1031 of the Code. The Company had $2.3 million of restricted cash as of June 30, 2021, which was included in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company had $14.8 million of restricted cash as of December 31, 2020.

The Company’s bank balances as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 include certain amounts over the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits.

Revenue Recognition and Related Matters

The Company’s rental revenue is primarily related to rent received from tenants under leases accounted for as operating leases. Rent from leases that have fixed and determinable rent increases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable initial term of the lease and reasonably certain renewal periods, from the later of the date of the commencement of the lease or the date of acquisition of the property subject to the lease. The difference between rental revenue recognized and the cash rent due under the provisions of the lease is recorded as deferred rent receivable and included as a component of other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Variable lease revenues include tenant reimbursements, lease termination fees, changes in the index or market-based indices after the inception of the lease or percentage rents. Variable lease revenues are not recognized until the specific events that trigger the variable payments have occurred. The Company recognized variable lease revenue related to tenant reimbursements and lease termination fees for the periods presented.

Capitalized above-market and below-market lease values and lease incentives are amortized on a straight-line basis as a reduction or increase of rental revenue as appropriate over the remaining non-cancellable terms of the respective leases.

An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided against the portion of accounts receivable, net including straight-line rents, which is estimated to be uncollectible, which includes a portfolio-based reserve and reserves for specific disputed amounts. Such allowances are reviewed each period based upon recovery experience and the specific facts of each outstanding amount. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has a share-based compensation award program for our employees and directors. Stock-based compensation expense associated with these awards is recognized in general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. We classify stock-based payment awards either as equity awards or liability awards based upon an analysis of ASC 718 and ASC 480. Equity classified awards are measured based on the fair value on the date of grant. Liability classified awards are remeasured to fair value each reporting period. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service or performance period. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.

Transaction Costs

Transaction costs represent costs incurred by the Company to facilitate the private offering, formation transactions and initial public offering. In addition, transaction costs include the costs associated with abandoned acquisitions and other acquisition related activity. There were no offering costs incurred during the three or six months ended June 30, 2021. Offering costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were $0.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Acquisition related expenses were $0.2 million and less than $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Acquisition related expenses were $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company elected to be treated and qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with its short taxable year ended December 31, 2019 upon the filing of its U.S. federal income tax return for such taxable year. To qualify as a REIT,
13

Table of Contents
the Company must meet certain organizational, income, asset and distribution tests. Accordingly, the Company will generally not be subject to corporate U.S. federal or state income tax to the extent that it makes qualifying distributions of all of its taxable income to its shareholders and provided it satisfies on a continuing basis, through actual investment and operating results, the REIT requirements, including certain asset, income, distribution and share ownership tests. The Company intends to make sufficient distributions during 2021 to receive a full dividends paid deduction.

The Company made a joint election with NETSTREIT TRS for it to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary which may be subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes on its taxable income. In general, NETSTREIT TRS may perform services for tenants of the Company, hold assets that the Company cannot hold directly and may engage in any real estate or non-real estate-related business.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized franchise and other state and local tax expenses which are included in general and administrative and recognized state and federal income tax expense which is included in income tax expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per common share has been computed pursuant to the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) allocated to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. No effect is shown for any securities that are anti-dilutive. Net income (loss) allocated to common stockholders represents net income (loss) less income allocated to participating securities and noncontrolling interests. None of the Company’s equity awards are participating securities.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair value measurements are utilized in the accounting of the Company’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an asset acquisition and also affect the Company’s accounting for certain of its financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The hierarchy described below prioritizes inputs to the valuation techniques used in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This hierarchy maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring the most observable inputs to be used when available. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows: Level 1 inputs, such as quoted prices in an active market; Level 2 inputs, which are observable inputs for similar assets; or Level 3 inputs, which are unobservable inputs.

The Company uses the following inputs in its fair value measurements:    

Level 2 inputs for its debt and derivative financial instrument fair value disclosures. See “Note 6 - Debt” and “Note 7 - Derivative Financial Instruments,” respectively; and

Level 2 and Level 3 inputs when assessing the fair value of assets and liabilities in connection with real estate acquisitions and impairment. See “Note 4 - Real Estate Investments.”

The fair value of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash (including money market accounts), other assets and accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their carrying value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Provisions for impairments recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 related to assets held for sale and the impairment was determined based on the estimated or negotiated selling price, less costs of disposal, compared to the carrying value of the property.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company is exposed to credit risk with respect to cash held at various financial institutions, access to its Credit
14

Table of Contents
Facility, and amounts due or payable under derivative contracts. The credit risk exposure with regard to the Company’s cash, credit facilities, and derivative instruments is spread among a diversified group of investment grade financial institutions.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s rental revenues were derived from 64 separate tenants leasing 270 total properties and 53 separate tenants leasing 162 properties, respectively. During these periods there were no tenants with rental revenue that exceeded 10% of total rental revenue.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s rental revenues were derived from 65 separate tenants leasing 271 total properties and 53 separate tenants leasing 162 properties, respectively. During this period there were no tenants with rental revenue that exceeded 10% of total rental revenue.

Segment Reporting

The Company considers each one of its properties to be an operating segment, none of which meets the threshold for a reportable segment. The Company allocates resources and assesses operating performance based on individual property needs. All of the Company’s operating segments meet the aggregation criteria, and thus, the Company reports one segment, rental operations. There were no intersegment sales during the periods presented. 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 “Topic 848: Reference Rate Reform.” 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. On July 1, 2020, the Company has elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of 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 determined these elections have not materially impacted the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

Note 3 – Leases

The Company acquires, owns and manages commercial single-tenant lease properties, with the majority being long-term triple-net leases where the tenant is generally responsible for all improvements and contractually obligated to pay all operating costs (such as real estate taxes, utilities and repairs and maintenance costs). As of June 30, 2021, the Company owned 266 single-tenant retail net leased properties spanning 39 states, with tenants representing 59 different brands or concepts across 23 retail sectors. As of June 30, 2021, the remaining terms of leases range from 2-33 years.

The Company’s property leases have been classified as operating leases and some have scheduled rent increases throughout the lease term.

All lease-related income is reported as a single line item, rental revenue (including reimbursable), in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income and is presented net of provision for doubtful accounts. There were no provisions for doubtful accounts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Credit Facility

In December 2019, the Company entered into a senior credit facility consisting of (i) a $175.0 million senior secured term loan (“Term Loan”) and (ii) a $250.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (“Revolver”, and collectively with the Term Loan, the “Credit Facility”). Wells Fargo Securities, LLC is lead arranger and bookrunner and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is administrative agent under the Credit Facility (the “Administrative Agent”).

The Term Loan matures on December 23, 2024 and the Revolver matures on December 23, 2023, subject to extension up to one year. The Credit Facility is unsecured as the Administrative Agent released the collateral in connection with the Company’s satisfaction of the collateral release requirements in the fourth quarter of 2020. Therefore interest rates under the Credit Facility are based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio, and are determined by (A) in the case of Term Loan either (i) LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 1.15% to 1.60%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio, or (ii) a Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility), plus a margin ranging from 0.15% to 0.60%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio and (B) in the case of Revolving Loans either (i) LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 1.20% to 1.80%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio, or (ii) a Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility), plus a margin ranging from 0.20% to 0.80%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio. Interest is payable monthly or at the end of the applicable interest period in arrears on any outstanding borrowings. The stated interest rate as of June 30, 2021 was 1.25%.

The Company is required to pay a Revolver facility fee at an annual rate of 0.15% of the unused capacity if usage exceeds 50% of the total available facility, or 0.25% of the unused facility if usage does not exceed 50%. Loans from the Revolver are generally restricted if, among other things, the proposed usage of the proceeds from the loan do not meet certain criteria as outlined in the Credit Facility Agreement, if an event of default exists, or if the requested loan will create an event of default. Loans from the Revolver may not exceed the total revolving commitments.

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility to amend and redefine its debt covenant calculations. The Company incurred and capitalized less than $0.1 million of financing costs relating to this amendment, which has been pro-rated to the Term Loan and Revolver based on their respective borrowing capacities.

Effective September 28, 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate derivative contract to fix the interest rate on the Term Loan. The interest rate is effectively fixed to 1.36% which includes the fixed rate (one-month LIBOR) of 0.21% plus a margin of 1.15%. The interest rate hedge is further described in “Note 7 - Derivative Financial Instruments.”

Deferred financing costs are being amortized over the remaining terms of each respective loan. Term Loan deferred financing costs of $1.1 million, of which $0.8 million and $0.9 million is unamortized at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020,

respectively, is included within Term Loan, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Revolver deferred financing costs of $1.6 million, of which $1.0 million and $1.2 million is unamortized at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, is included within other assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Total deferred financing costs amortized on the Term Loan and Revolver for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively and $0.3 and $0.3 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This is included in interest expense, net on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Term Loan had a weighted average interest rate, exclusive of amortization of deferred financing costs and the effects of the interest rate hedge, of 1.30% and 1.87%, respectively and 1.28% and 2.55% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Company incurred interest expense in connection with the Term Loan for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 of $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively and $1.2 million and $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s Term Loan has been derived based on market observable inputs such as interest rates and discounted cash flow analysis using estimates of the amount and timing of future cash flows. These measurements are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The Company determined that the carrying value materially approximated the estimated fair value of the Term Loan as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

The Company incurred interest expense, exclusive of facility fees for unused capacity, on borrowings under the Revolver of less than $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 with a weighted average interest rate of 0.33%. No interest was incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, interest expense was less than $0.1 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 1.24%. No interest was incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no borrowings under the Revolver. The Company also incurred interest expense in connection with unused capacity for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 of $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively and $0.3 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company capitalized less than $0.1 million of interest expense associated with properties under development. No interest expense was capitalized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

The Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants as of June 30, 2021 and expects to be in compliance for the following twelve-month period.

Debt Maturity

Payments on the Term Loan are interest only through maturity. All outstanding amounts on the Term Loan are due on December 23, 2024.

Note 7 – Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses interest rate derivative contracts to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates on its variable rate debt. These derivatives are considered cash flow hedges and are recorded on a gross basis at fair value. Assessments of hedge effectiveness are performed quarterly using either a qualitative or quantitative approach. The Company recognizes the entire change in the fair value in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) and the change is reflected as cash flow hedge changes in fair value in the supplemental disclosures of non-cash investing and financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Effective September 28, 2020, such derivatives were initiated to hedge the variable cash flows associated with Term Loan. Accordingly, the interest rate for the variable rate Term Loan is based on the hedged fixed rate (one-month) of 0.21% compared to the variable Term Loan one-month LIBOR rate as of June 30, 2021 of 0.10%, plus a margin of 1.15%. The maturity date of the interest rate swaps coincide with the maturity date of the Term Loan.

Amounts will subsequently be reclassified to earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative or trading purposes and does not have derivative netting arrangements.

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by its derivative counterparties. The Company evaluates counterparty credit risk through monitoring the creditworthiness of counterparties, which includes review of debt ratings and financial performance. To mitigate credit risk, the Company enters into agreements with counterparties it considers credit-worthy, such as large financial institutions with favorable credit ratings.

The Company did not exclude any amounts from the assessment of hedge effectiveness for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $0.1 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.

The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves.

To comply with the provisions of ASC 820, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of June 30, 2021, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives.

Note 9 – Shareholders’ Equity, Partners’ Capital and Preferred Equity

Common Stock

On April 12, 2021, the Company completed a public offering of 10,915,688 shares of common stock, which included the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 1,423,785 shares of common stock. Upon closing of the offering, the Company issued 10,915,688 shares of common stock and received net proceeds of $194.2 million after deducting the underwriting discount and transaction costs of $9.4 million. The Company contributed the net proceeds of the offering and related underwriters’ option to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 10,915,688 Class A OP Units.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, portions of restricted stock unit awards granted to certain of the Company’s officers and directors vested. The vesting of these awards, granted pursuant to the Omnibus Incentive Plan (as defined in “Note 10 - Stock-Based Compensation”), resulted in federal and state income tax liabilities for the recipients. As permitted by the terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan and the award grants, certain executive officers elected to surrender approximately five thousand shares of common stock valued at approximately $0.1 million, solely to pay the associated statutory tax withholding during the
22

Table of Contents
year ended December 31, 2021. The surrendered shares are included in repurchase of shares of common stock on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

On January 30, 2020, the initial purchaser in the Private Offering exercised its over-allotment option to purchase 2,936,885 shares of the Company’s common stock, which were delivered on February 6, 2020. Net proceeds to the Company from the over-allotment option exercise were $54.6 million which was net of initial purchaser’s discount and placement fees of $3.4 million. The over-allotment option exercise resulted in the issuance of 2,936,885 shares of common stock. The Company contributed the net proceeds to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 2,936,885 Class A OP Units.

Preferred Equity

To maintain the Company’s status as a REIT, on January 27, 2020, the Company issued and sold 125 shares of 12.0% Series A Cumulative Non-Voting Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, for $1,000 per share to accredited investors pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed solely at the Company’s option for consideration equal to $1,000 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to and including the date fixed for redemption, plus a redemption premium as follows (i) until December 31, 2021, $100 and (ii) thereafter, no redemption premium.

In May 2020, the Company declared a preferred dividend of $51.33 per share of Series A Preferred Stock to holders of record as of June 15, 2020. The preferred dividend was settled in cash on June 30, 2020. The Company redeemed all 125 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock upon the completion of the initial public offering.

Dividends

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company declared and paid the following common stock dividends (in thousands, except per share data):

$0.40 $13,577 

The holders of OP Units are entitled to an equal distribution per Class A and B OP Unit held as of each record date. Accordingly, during the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Operating Partnership paid distributions of $0.6 million to holders of OP Units. There were no dividends or distributions declared or paid for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests represent noncontrolling holders of OP Units in the Operating Partnership. OP Units are convertible into common stock as the OP Units may be redeemed for cash or, at the Company’s election, exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, noncontrolling interests represented 3.3% and 5.9%, respectively of OP Units. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, OP Unit holders redeemed 143,173 OP units into shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, OP Unit holders redeemed 396,517 OP units into shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis. There were no redemptions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

Note 10 – Stock-Based Compensation

Under the NETSTREIT Corp. 2019 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”), which became effective on December 23, 2019, 2,094,976 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance. The Omnibus Incentive Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, long-term incentive plan units, dividend equivalent rights, and other share-based, share-related or cash-based awards, including performance-based awards, to employees, directors and consultants, with each grant evidenced by an award agreement providing the terms of the award. The Omnibus Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

Table of Contents
As of June 30, 2021, the only stock-based compensation granted by the Company were restricted stock units. The total amount of stock-based compensation costs recognized in general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income was $1.0 million and $1.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. No stock-based compensation expense was recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. All awards of unvested restricted stock units are expected to fully vest over the next one to five years.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units

Pursuant to the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Company made performance-based restricted stock unit grants to certain employees and non-employee directors. The performance condition required the Company to effectively file a shelf registration statement. Up until the point of filing the registration statement, performance was not deemed probable and accordingly, no restricted stock units had the capability of vesting and no stock-based compensation expense was recorded. As a result of the Company's initial public offering in August 2020, the performance condition was satisfied and the Company recorded a stock-based compensation expense catch-up adjustment of $1.4 million. The vesting terms of these grants are specific to the individual grant and vest in equal annual installments over the next three to five years.

The following table summarizes performance-based restricted stock unit activity for the period ended June 30, 2021:

Unvested restricted stock grants outstanding as of June 30, 2021192,613 $19.75 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in stock-based compensation expense associated with performance-based restricted stock units. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the remaining unamortized stock-based compensation expense totaled $1.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively and as of June 30, 2021, these awards are expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 2.3 years. These units are subject to graded vesting and stock-based compensation expense is recognized ratably over the requisite service period for each vesting tranche in the award.

The grant date fair value of unvested restricted units is calculated as the per share price determined in the Private Offering.

Service-Based Restricted Stock Units

Pursuant to the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Company has made service-based restricted stock unit grants to certain employees and non-employee directors. The vesting terms of these grants are specific to the individual grant and vest in equal annual installments over the next one to five years.

The following table summarizes service-based restricted stock unit activity for the period ended June 30, 2021:

Table of Contents
The grant date fair value of service based unvested restricted units is calculated as the per share price determined in the initial public offering for awards granted in 2020 and as the per share price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant for those granted in 2021.

Market-Based Restricted Stock Units

Pursuant to the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Company has made market-based restricted stock unit grants to certain employees. These grants are subject to the participant’s continued service over a three year period with 40% of the award based on the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) as compared to the TSR of 33 peer companies and 60% of the award based on total absolute TSR over the cumulative three year period. The performance period of these grants runs through March 8, 2024. Grant date fair value of the market-based share awards was calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation model, which incorporated stock price volatility of the Company and each of the Company’s peers and other variables over the performance period. Significant inputs for the calculation were expected volatility of the Company of 42.8% and expected volatility of the Company's peers, ranging from 28.7% to 90.7%, with an average volatility of 46.3% and a risk-free interest rate of 0.34%. The fair value per share on the grant date specific to the target TSR relative to the Company’s peers was $20.18 and the target absolute TSR was $16.46 for a weighted average grant date fair value of $17.77 per share. Stock-based compensation expense associated with unvested market-based share awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum required service period, which is three years.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized $0.2 million in stock-based compensation expense associated market-based restricted stock units. As of June 30, 2021, the remaining unamortized stock-based compensation expense totaled $2.2 million and as of June 30, 2021, these awards are expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 2.7 years.

Note 11 – Earnings Per Share

Net loss per common share has been computed pursuant to the guidance in the FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is similarly calculated except that the denominator is increased by using the treasury stock method to determine the potential dilutive effect of the Company’s outstanding unvested restricted stock units and using the if-converted method to determine the potential dilutive effect of the Company’s OP Units. The Company has noncontrolling interests in the form of OP Units which are convertible into common stock and represent potentially dilutive securities, as the OP Units may be redeemed for cash or, at the Company’s election, exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis. The following table is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

For the periods presented, diluted net loss per common share does not assume the conversion of OP Units or unvested RSUs as such conversion would be antidilutive.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021 diluted net loss per common share does not assume the conversion of 1,438,969 OP Units or 332,781 unvested RSUs and for the three months ended June 30, 2020 does not assume the conversion of 4,449,019 OP Units.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021 diluted net loss per common share does not assume the conversion of 1,527,160 OP Units or 210,370 unvested RSUs and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 does not assume the conversion of 4,449,019 OP Units.

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were 1,355,365 and 1,751,882 of OP Units outstanding, respectively.

Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation and Regulatory Matters

In the ordinary course of business, from time to time, the Company may be subject to litigation, claims and regulatory matters, none of which are currently outstanding, which the Company believes could have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations, liquidity or cash flows.

Environmental Matters

The Company is subject to environmental regulations related to the ownership of real estate. The cost of complying with the environmental regulations was not material to the Company’s results of operations for any of the periods presented. The Company is not aware of any environmental condition on any of its properties that is likely to have a material adverse effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements when the fair value of such liability can be reasonably estimated and is required to be recognized.

Commitments

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various types of commitments to purchase real estate properties or fund development projects. These commitments are generally subject to the Company’s customary due diligence process and, accordingly, a number of specific conditions must be met before the Company is obligated or receives an option to purchase the
26

Table of Contents
properties. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had commitments to fund properties under development totaling $10.4 million, of which $5.3 million has been funded to date and the remaining is expected to be funded over the next eight months.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company did not have any other material commitments for re-leasing costs, recurring capital expenditures, non-recurring building improvements, or similar types of costs.

During March 2021, the Company executed the Alignment of Interest Program (the “Program”) which allows employees to elect to receive a portion of their 2021 bonus in unvested restricted stock units in the first quarter of 2022 and would vest over a four-year service period beginning April 1, 2021. The Program is deemed to be a liability-classified award which will be fair valued and accrued over the applicable service period beginning April 1, 2021. The total estimated fair value of the Program as of June 30, 2021 is approximately $1.0 million. The award will be remeasured to fair value each reporting period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized less than $0.1 million in stock-based compensation expense associated with liability-classified awards.

Note 13 – Related-Party Transactions

Effective with the Private Offering and commencement of the Company’s operations on December 23, 2019, the Company executed a facilities agreement with a subsidiary of EB Arrow Holdings, LLC (“EB Arrow”), which was subsequently amended in April 2021. Under the facilities agreement, the Company shares in office rent by paying a fixed monthly rate and office related expenses based on employee headcount. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred less than $0.1 million in related expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred approximately $0.1 million in related expenses.

Note 14 – Subsequent Events
 
The Company has evaluated all events that occurred subsequent to June 30, 2021 through the date on which these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued to determine whether any of these events required disclosure in the financial statements.

Common Stock Dividend

On July 27, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.20 per share for the third quarter of 2021 which will be paid on September 15, 2021 to shareholders of record on September 1, 2021.

Overview

We are an internally-managed real estate company that acquires, owns and manages a diversified portfolio of single-tenant, retail commercial real estate subject to long-term net leases with high credit quality tenants across the United States. Our diversified operating portfolio consists of 264 single-tenant retail net leased properties spanning 39 states, with tenants representing 59 different brands or concepts across 23 retail sectors. Our portfolio generates annualized base rent (“ABR”)(1) of $55.3 million and is 100% occupied, with a weighted average lease term (“WALT”) of 9.9 years and consisting of approximately 70% and 14% of investment grade tenants and investment grade profile tenants, respectively, by ABR, which we believe provides us with a strong, stable source of recurring cash flow. Our tenants operate in industries where a physical location is critical to the generation of sales and profits, with a focus on necessity goods and essential services in the retail sector, including home improvement, auto parts, drug stores and pharmacies, general retail, grocers, convenience stores, discount stores, and quick-service restaurants, which we refer to as defensive retail industries. We believe these characteristics make our tenants’ businesses e-commerce resistant and resilient through all economic cycles. We completed our initial public offering on August 17, 2020 and our common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “NTST.”

(1)    ABR is calculated by multiplying (i) cash rental payments (a) for the month ended June 30, 2021 (or, if applicable, the next full month's cash rent contractually due in the case of rent abatements, rent deferrals, recently acquired properties and properties with contractual rent increases, other than properties under development) for leases in place as of June 30, 2021, plus (b) for properties under development, the first full month's permanent cash rent contractually due after the development period by (ii) 12.

COVID-19
We continue to monitor the global outbreak of COVID-19 and to take steps to mitigate the potential risks to us posed by the pandemic, including the identification and spread of variants. In addition, we continue to stay in close contact with our tenants and monitor the timeliness of rental payments and any significant changes in our tenants' businesses. See “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein. The Company’s operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were not materially impacted by COVID-19.

Recent Developments

We seek to maximize long-term earnings growth and shareholder value primarily through the acquisition of strategically positioned assets throughout the United States, specifically focusing on properties with tenants which are considered essential businesses. We had deployed all $227.3 million of the proceeds from the Company's initial public offering to fund acquisitions through March 31, 2021 and repaid $50 million of outstanding borrowings under our Revolver (as defined in “Note 6 - Debt” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein) in August 2020. On April 12, 2021, the Company completed a public offering of 10,915,688 shares of common stock, which included the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 1,423,785 shares of common stock. Upon closing, the Company issued 10,915,688 shares of common stock and received net proceeds of $194.2 million after deducting the underwriting discount and transaction costs of $9.4 million. We used the net proceeds to repay the $13.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Revolver and intend to use the remainder of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of properties in our pipeline.

Results of Operations

Overall

The Company continued to grow its assets held for investment by increasing its asset base from 203 properties as of December 31, 2020 to 267 properties as of the end of June 30, 2021, inclusive of real estate development projects. The Company has committed to three real estate development projects with total projected capital spend of $10.4 million of which $5.3 million has been funded as of June 30, 2021. This growth has been facilitated by successfully raising $640.5 million of net equity capital as a result of private and public offerings since December 23, 2019.

Acquisitions

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company acquired 35 retail net lease properties for a total purchase price, inclusive of capitalized acquisition costs, of $116.8 million. The acquisitions were all accounted for as asset acquisitions. These properties are located in 15 states with a WALT of approximately 9.7 years. The underwritten weighted-average capitalization rate on the Company’s second quarter acquisitions was approximately 6.5%.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company acquired 66 retail net lease properties for a total purchase price, inclusive of capitalized acquisition costs, of $205.2 million. These properties are located in 27 states with a WALT of approximately 9.3 years. The underwritten weighted-average capitalization rate on the Company’s year-to-date acquisitions was approximately 6.6%.

Development

The Company commenced development of a real-estate project in Yuma, Arizona in the first quarter of 2021. The Company has a non-binding purchase option to acquire the property upon completion with the sole tenant commencing lease payments in 2022. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company invested $0.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively, in the project.

The Company also acquired two properties in Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin in the second quarter of 2021. Upon acquisition, the Company commenced development of two build-to-suit projects, which are expected to be completed in September 2021. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company invested a total of $3.4 million in the projects.

Revenue. Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $6.7 million to $13.8 million from $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. This is primarily due to an increase in the real estate portfolio from 94 properties as of January 1, 2020 to 264 properties as of June 30, 2021. The increase includes an increase in cash rental receipts of $6.4 million, a decrease in straight-line rental revenue of $0.7 million, and $1.0 million of combined net increases in property expense reimbursement and amortization of above- and below-market lease related intangible assets.

Total Operating Expenses. Total expenses increased by $8.6 million to $16.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in operating expenses is primarily attributed to increases in the number of operating properties, provisions for impairment, and stock-based compensation, offset by prior period expenses associated with the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering in August 2020. Total operating expenses include the following:

Property Expenses. Property expenses increased $0.9 million to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase is primarily attributed to the increase in the real estate portfolio from 94 to 266 properties. The largest increases resulted from reimbursable property taxes of $0.4 million and reimbursable maintenance expense of $0.2 million.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $2.2 million to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase is primarily due to payroll expense associated with increased management and staff to support the Company as a newly public company of $0.3 million, an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $1.0 million, an increase in insurance related expenses of $0.3 million, increases to professional and administrative expenses of $0.3 million, and a combined net increase of $0.3 million in other general expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $4.0 million to $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in depreciation and amortization is proportionate to the increase in the size of the portfolio over the comparable period with associated increases

in building depreciation expense of $1.6 million, in-place lease amortization expense of $1.2 million, and building improvements depreciation expense of $0.9 million.

Provision for Impairment. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded a provision for impairment of $3.5 million on two properties which were classified as held-for-sale as of June 30, 2021. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded a provision for impairment of $1.4 million on two properties which were classified as held-for-sale as of June 30, 2020 and subsequently sold. These impairments and subsequent disposals relate to our plan of strategically identifying properties that can be re-leased or disposed of in an effort to improve returns and manage risk exposure.

Transaction costs. Transaction costs decreased by $0.4 million to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in transaction costs primarily relates to a decrease of $0.6 million of expenses incurred in 2020 to facilitate our initial public offering, offset by net increases to costs incurred for abandoned acquisitions and expenses associated with property acquisitions.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased by $0.2 million to $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease is primarily due to the decrease in the effective interest rate of the Term Loan (as defined in “Note 6 - Debt” to our condensed consolidated financial statements included herein).

Gain on sales of real estate, net. Net gain on sales of real estate decreased by $0.5 million to $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The table below summarizes the properties sold for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

Net loss. Net loss increased $2.2 million to $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from a net loss of $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Net loss increased primarily due to an increase in provisions for impairment, offset by the growth in the size of our real estate investment portfolio, which generated additional rental revenues, offset partially by increases in depreciation and amortization expenses, and to increases in general and administrative expenses related to both our growth and the result of becoming a public company, as set forth above.

Revenue. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $13.1 million to $25.7 million from $12.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This is primarily due to an increase in the real estate portfolio from 94 properties as of January 1, 2020 to 264 properties as of June 30, 2021. The increase includes an increase in cash rental receipts of $12.0 million, combined net increases of property expense reimbursements of $1.4 million, of which $0.7 million was related to tax reimbursements, an increase in amortization of above- and below-market lease related intangible assets of $0.3 million, offset by a decrease in straight-line rental revenue of $0.6 million.

Total Operating Expenses. Total expenses increased by $13.2 million to $26.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $13.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in operating expenses is primarily attributed to increases in the number of operating properties, provisions for impairment, and stock-based compensation, offset by prior period expenses associated with the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering in August 2020. Total operating expenses include the following:

Property Expenses. Property expenses increased $1.6 million to $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase is primarily attributed to the increase in the real estate portfolio from 94 to 264 properties. The largest increases are from reimbursable property taxes of $0.7 million and reimbursable maintenance expense of $0.6 million.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $3.4 million to $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase is primarily due to payroll expense associated with increased management and staff to support the Company as a newly public company of $0.7 million, an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $1.6 million, an increase in insurance related expenses of $0.5 million, and net increases to professional and administrative expenses of $0.3 million.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $7.5 million to $13.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in depreciation and amortization is proportionate to the increase in the size of the portfolio over the comparable period with associated increases in building depreciation expense of $3.3 million, in-place lease amortization expense of $2.4 million, and building improvements depreciation expense of $1.7 million.

Provision for Impairment. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded a provision for impairment of $3.5 million on three properties, one of which was classified as held-for-sale as of December 31, 2020 and sold during the period and two of which were classified as held-for-sale during the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded a provision
32

for impairment of $1.4 million on two properties, which were classified as held-for-sale as of June 30, 2020 and subsequently sold. These impairments and subsequent disposals relate to our plan of strategically identifying properties that can be re-leased or disposed of in an effort to improve returns and manage risk exposure.

Transaction costs. Transaction costs decreased by $1.4 million to $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in transaction costs includes a decrease of $1.3 million of expenses incurred in 2020 to facilitate our initial public offering and a decrease of $0.1 million of expenses incurred for abandoned acquisitions and expenses associated with property acquisitions.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased by $1.0 million to $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease is primarily due to the decrease in the effective interest rate of the Term Loan.

Gain on sales of real estate, net. Net gain on sales of real estate decreased by $0.5 million to $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The table below summarizes the properties sold for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Net loss. Net loss decreased $0.1 million to $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from a net loss of $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Net loss decreased primarily due to growth in the size of our real estate investment portfolio, which generated additional rental revenues, offset partially by an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses, decreases in interest expense and transaction costs, an increase in provisions for impairment, and increases in general and administrative expenses related to both our growth and the result of becoming a public company, as set forth above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary capital requirements are to fund property acquisitions and required interest payments, as well as working capital needs, operating expenses, and capital expenditures. Our capital resources primarily consist of cash from operations, sales of equity securities (including private and public offerings) and borrowings under our Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2021, we had a $175.0 million Term Loan and no borrowings outstanding under our $250.0 million Revolver. We believe that the net proceeds of $194.2 million from our April 2021 public offering of common stock, coupled with our cash flows from operations and available borrowing capacity, will be adequate to support our ongoing operations and to fund our debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital for at least the next 12 months.

Contractual Obligations

As of June 30, 2021, our contractual obligations include the maturity of our $175.0 million Term Loan with the scheduled principal payment due on December 23, 2024.

During 2021, the Company borrowed and repaid $13.0 million on our $250.0 million Revolver at a weighted average interest rate, exclusive of deferred financing costs, of 1.24% to fund specifically identified property acquisitions.

(1)     Effective September 28, 2020, we entered into an interest rate hedge to fix the interest rate on our Term Loan. Accordingly, the projected interest rate obligations for the variable rate Term Loan is based on the hedged fixed rate (one-month) of 0.21% compared to the variable Term Loan one-month LIBOR rate as of June 30, 2021 of 0.10%, plus a margin of 1.15% based on the $175.0 million Term Loan outstanding through the maturity date of December 23, 2024.
(2)     We are subject to a variable unutilized borrowing fee on our $250.0 million Revolver. This reflects our projected unutilized borrowing fee at 0.25% assuming no additional borrowing through the maturity date of December 23, 2023.

Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Company enters into various types of commitments to purchase real estate properties or fund development projects. These commitments are generally subject to the Company’s customary due diligence process and, accordingly, a number of specific conditions must be met before the Company is obligated or receives an option to purchase the properties. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had commitments to fund properties under development totaling $10.4 million, of which $5.3 million has been funded to date and the remaining is expected to be funded over the next eight months.

Credit Facility

In December 2019, we entered into a Credit Facility consisting of (i) a $175.0 million senior secured Term Loan and (ii) a $250.0 million senior secured Revolver. Wells Fargo Securities, LLC is lead arranger and bookrunner and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is the Administrative Agent.

The Term Loan matures on December 23, 2024 and the Revolver matures on December 23, 2023, subject to extension up to one year. The Credit Facility is unsecured as the Administrative Agent released the collateral in connection with the Company’s satisfaction of the collateral release requirements in the fourth quarter of 2020. Therefore, interest rates under the Credit Facility are based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio, and are determined by (A) in the case of Term Loan either (i) LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 1.15% to 1.60%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio, or (ii) a Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility), plus a margin ranging from 0.15% to 0.60%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio and (B) in the case of Revolving Loans either (i) LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 1.20% to 1.80%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio, or (ii) a Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility), plus a margin ranging from 0.20% to 0.80%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio. Interest is payable monthly or at the end of the applicable interest period in arrears on any outstanding borrowings. The stated interest rate as of June 30, 2021 was 1.25%.

The Company uses interest rate derivative contracts to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates on its variable rate debt. These derivatives are considered cash flow hedges and are recorded on a gross basis at fair value. Effective September 28, 2020, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with the Term Loan.

Cash Flows Provided By Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $12.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was largely attributed to the increase in the size of the Company’s real estate investment portfolio with an increase in rental receipts of $12.0 million, offset primarily by increases in operating and general and administrative expenses associated with our larger portfolio.

Cash Flows Used In Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $18.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease is primarily due to acquisition, development, and disposal activity. The Company spent $19.5 million less on the acquisition of real estate and received $2.4 million more as a result of disposals, offset by $5.0 million more spent on the development of real estate.

Cash Flows Provided By Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $126.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase is primarily attributed to $141.1 million of additional net proceeds received from the April 2021 public offering as compared to the exercise of the over-allotment option in the Private Offering in February 2020, including deferred offering costs. Additionally, the Company paid $14.2 million of dividends and distributions during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and none in the prior period. The Company also borrowed $13.0 million in the first quarter of 2021 which was repaid in the second quarter of 2021.

Income Taxes

The Company elected to be treated and qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with its short taxable year ended December 31, 2019 upon the filing of its U.S. federal income tax return for such taxable year. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational, income, asset and distribution tests. Accordingly, the Company will generally not be subject to corporate U.S. federal or state income tax to the extent that it makes qualifying distributions of all of its taxable income to its shareholders and provided it satisfies on a continuing basis, through actual investment and operating results, the REIT requirements, including certain asset, income, distribution and share ownership tests. The Company intends to make sufficient distributions during 2021 to receive a full dividends paid deduction.

The Company made a joint election with NETSTREIT TRS for it to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary which may be subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes on its taxable income. In general, NETSTREIT TRS may perform services for tenants of the Company, hold assets that the Company cannot hold directly and may engage in any real estate or non-real estate-related business.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized franchise and other state and local tax expenses which are included in general and administrative and recognized state and federal income tax expense which is included in income tax expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

A discussion of new accounting standards and the possible effects of these standards on our condensed consolidated financial statements is included in “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our condensed consolidated financial statements, included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Table of Contents

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our accounting policies have been established to conform with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Management believes that we have made these estimates and assumptions in an appropriate manner and in a way that accurately reflects our financial condition. We continually test and evaluate these estimates and assumptions using our historical knowledge of the business, as well as other factors, to ensure that they are reasonable for reporting purposes. However, actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to the various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, thus resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which is accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. There have been no material changes to these policies during the periods covered by this quarterly report.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our reported results are presented in accordance with GAAP. We also disclose the following non-GAAP financial measures: Funds from operations (“FFO”), Core FFO, Adjusted FFO (“AFFO”), earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), EBITDA adjusted to exclude gains (or losses) on sales of depreciable property and real estate impairment losses (“EBITDAre”), EBITDAre further adjusted to exclude straight-line rent, gains from forfeited earnest money deposits, non-recurring public company costs, representing consulting fees that we have incurred in preparing to become a public company, and non-cash compensation expense (“Adjusted EBITDAre”), net operating income (“NOI”) and cash net operating income (“Cash NOI”). We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs.

FFO, Core FFO and AFFO

FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by NAREIT as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding real estate-related expenses including, but not limited to, gains (losses) from sales, impairment adjustments, and depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our calculation of FFO is consistent with FFO as defined by NAREIT.

Core FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as FFO adjusted for gains from forfeited earnest money deposits and non-recurring public company costs. We believe the presentation of Core FFO provides investors with a metric to assist in their evaluation of our operating performance across multiple periods because it removes the effect of unusual and non-recurring items that are not expected to impact our operating performance on an ongoing basis.

AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as Core FFO adjusted for GAAP net income related to non-cash revenues and expenses, such as straight-line rent, amortization of above- and below-market lease-related intangibles, amortization of lease incentives, capitalized interest expense, non-cash compensation expense, and amortization of deferred financing costs.

Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. In fact, real estate values historically have risen or fallen with market conditions. FFO is intended to be a standard supplemental measure of operating performance that excludes historical cost depreciation and valuation adjustments from net income. We consider FFO to be useful in evaluating potential property acquisitions and measuring operating performance. We further consider Core FFO and AFFO to be useful in determining funds available for payment of distributions. FFO, Core FFO and AFFO do not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP. You should not consider FFO, Core FFO and AFFO to be alternatives to net income as a reliable measure of our operating performance; nor should you consider FFO, Core FFO and AFFO to be alternatives to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities (as defined by GAAP) as measures of liquidity.

FFO, Core FFO and AFFO do not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of our cash needs, including principal amortization, capital improvements and distributions to stockholders. FFO, Core FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP. Further, FFO, Core FFO and AFFO as disclosed by other REITs might not be comparable to our calculations of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO for the periods presented to net income (loss) before allocation to noncontrolling interests, as computed in accordance with GAAP (in thousands):

EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre

We compute EBITDA as earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. In 2017, NAREIT issued a white paper recommending that companies that report EBITDA also report EBITDAre. We compute EBITDAre in accordance with the definition adopted by NAREIT. NAREIT defines EBITDAre as EBITDA (as defined above) excluding gains (or losses) from the sales of depreciable property and real estate impairment losses.

Adjusted EBITDAre is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as EBITDAre further adjusted to exclude straight-line rent, gains from forfeited earnest money deposits, non-recurring public company costs, representing consulting fees that we have incurred in preparing to become a public company and non-cash compensation expense.

We present EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre as they are measures commonly used in our industry. We believe that these measures are useful to investors and analysts because they provide supplemental information concerning our operating performance, exclusive of certain non-cash items and other costs. We use EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre as measures of our operating performance and not as measures of liquidity.

EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre do not include all items of revenue and expense included in net income, they do not represent cash generated from operating activities and they are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements; accordingly, they should not be considered alternatives to net income as a performance measure or cash flows from operations as a liquidity measure and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures. Additionally, our computation of EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre may differ from the methodology for

calculating these metrics used by other equity REITs and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other equity REITs.

NOI and Cash NOI

NOI and Cash NOI are non-GAAP financial measures which we use to assess our operating results. We compute NOI as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding general and administrative expenses, interest expense (or income), income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, gains (or losses) on sales of depreciable property, gain from forfeited earnest money deposits and real estate impairment losses. We further adjust NOI for non-cash revenue components of straight-line rent and amortization of lease intangibles and lease incentives to derive Cash NOI. We believe NOI and Cash NOI provide useful and relevant information because they reflect only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level and present such items on an unlevered basis.

NOI and Cash NOI are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP, and our NOI and Cash NOI may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. You should not consider our NOI and Cash NOI as alternatives to net income or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our future income, cash flows and fair value relevant to our financial instruments depends upon prevailing market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Based upon the nature of our operations, the principal market risk to which we are exposed is the risk related to interest rate fluctuations. As of June 30, 2021, we had total indebtedness of approximately $175.0 million under the Term Loan and no borrowings under the Revolver, both of which are floating rate debt with a variable interest rate. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we had average daily outstanding borrowings on our Revolver of $1.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
On September 28, 2020 and effective through the maturity date of December 23, 2024, the Company entered into an interest rate derivative in order to hedge its market interest risk associated with the Term Loan. The interest rate derivative converts the variable rate debt on the Term Loan to a fixed interest rate of 0.21%, plus a margin of 1.15% as of June 30, 2021. Additionally, we occasionally fund acquisitions through the use of our Revolver which bears an interest rate determined by either (i) LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 1.20% to 1.80%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio, or (ii) a Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility), plus a margin ranging from 0.20% to 0.80%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio. Many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, and other factors that are beyond our control contribute to our interest rate risk. Based on the results of our sensitivity analysis and daily outstanding borrowings on the Revolver during 2021, which assumes a 1% adverse change in the interest rate as of June 30, 2021, the estimated market risk exposure for the Revolver was less than $0.1 million.

On March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) announced that USD LIBOR will no longer be published after June 30, 2023. This announcement has several implications, including setting the spread that may be used to automatically convert contracts from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). Additionally, banking regulators are encouraging banks to discontinue new LIBOR debt issuances by December 31, 2021.

The Company anticipates that LIBOR will continue to be available at least until June 30, 2023. Any changes adopted by the FCA or other governing bodies in the method used for determining LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR. If that were to occur, our interest payments could change. In addition, uncertainty about the extent and manner of future changes may result in interest rates and/or payments that are higher or lower than if LIBOR were to remain available in its current form.

The Company’s Term Loan and Revolver, which mature on December 23, 2024 and December 23, 2023, respectively, are indexed to LIBOR. The Company continues to monitor and evaluate the related risks, including future negotiations with lenders

and other counterparties. These risks arise in connection with transitioning contracts to an alternative rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur, and are likely to vary by contract. The value of loans, securities, or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR, as well as interest rates on our current or future indebtedness, may also be impacted if LIBOR is limited or discontinued. For some instruments the method of transitioning to an alternative reference rate may be challenging, especially if we cannot agree with the respective counterparty about how to make the transition.

While we expect LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until at least the end of June 30, 2023, it is possible that LIBOR will become unavailable prior to that point. This could result, for example, if sufficient banks decline to make submissions to the LIBOR administrator. In that case, the risks associated with the transition to an alternative reference rate will be accelerated and magnified.

Alternative rates and other market changes related to the replacement of LIBOR, including the introduction of financial products and changes in market practices, may lead to risk modeling and valuation challenges, such as adjusting interest rate accrual calculations and building a term structure for an alternative rate.

The introduction of an alternative rate also may create additional basis risk and increased volatility as alternative rates are phased in and utilized in parallel with LIBOR.

Adjustments to systems and mathematical models to properly process and account for alternative rates will be required, which may strain the model risk management and information technology functions and result in substantial incremental costs for the company.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have had or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital resources or capital expenditures.
