NETSTREIT CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business

NETSTREIT Corp. (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. 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. The Company also invests in property developments and mortgage loans secured by real estate. As of March 31, 2023, the Company owned or had investments in 488 properties, located in 45 states, excluding four property developments where rent has yet to commence.

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 is reduced by the portion of net income 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 SEC. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by 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, 2022, 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 months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Table of Contents
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. Restricted cash is included in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company had no restricted cash as of March 31, 2023, and $4.7 million of restricted cash as of December 31, 2022.

The Company’s bank balances as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 included certain amounts over the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits.

Fair Value Measurement

Companies are required to disclose the estimated fair values of all financial instruments, even if they are not carried at their fair value. The fair values of financial instruments are estimates based on market conditions and perceived risks as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. These estimates require management’s judgement and may not be indicative of the future fair values of the assets and liabilities.

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. Additionally, the Company believes the following financial instruments have carrying values that approximate their fair values as of March 31, 2023:

Borrowings under the Company’s New Revolver (as defined in “Note 6 - Debt”) approximate fair value based on their nature, terms and variable interest rates.
Carrying values of the Company’s fixed rate mortgage loans receivable approximate fair values based on a number of factors, including either their short-term nature, the availability of market quotes for comparable instruments, and a discounted cash flow analysis using estimates of the amount and timing of future cash flows, market rates, and credit spreads.
Carrying value of the Company’s mortgage note payable approximates fair value based on a discounted cash flow analysis using estimates of the amount and timing of future cash flows, market rates, and credit spreads.

The following table discloses fair value information for the Company’s 2024 Term Loan and 2028 Term Loan (each as defined in “Note 6 - Debt”) (in thousands):

March 31, 2023December 31, 2022
Carrying ValueEstimated Fair ValueCarrying ValueEstimated Fair Value

2028 Term Loan (1)
198,824 201,324 198,764 201,108 
(1) The carrying value of the debt instruments are net of unamortized debt issuance and discount costs.

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 facilities, amounts due under mortgage loans receivable, 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 March 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no tenants or borrowers with rental revenue or interest income on loans receivable, respectively, that exceeded 10% of total revenues.

Table of Contents
Segment Reporting

ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for the manner in which companies report information about operating segments. Substantially all of the Company’s investments, at acquisition, are comprised of real estate owned that is leased to tenants on a long-term basis or real estate that secures the Company's investment in mortgage loans receivable. The Company allocates resources and assesses operating performance based on individual investment and property needs. Therefore, the Company aggregates these investments for reporting purposes and operates in one reportable segment.

Note 3 – Leases

Tenant 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 March 31, 2023, the Company’s weighted average remaining lease term was 9.4 years.

The Company’s property leases have been classified as operating leases and some have scheduled rent increases throughout the lease term. The Company’s leases typically provide the tenant one or more multi-year renewal options to extend their leases, subject to generally the same terms and conditions, including rent increases, consistent with the initial 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 income (loss) and is presented net of any reserves for uncollectible amounts. There were no material reserves for uncollectible amounts during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Fixed lease income includes stated amounts per the lease contract, which include base rent, fixed common area maintenance charges, and straight-line lease adjustments.

Variable lease income primarily includes recoveries from tenants, which represent amounts that tenants are contractually obligated to reimburse the Company for specific to their portion of actual recoverable costs incurred. Variable lease income also includes percentage rent, which represents amounts billable to tenants based on their actual sales volume in excess of levels specified in the lease contract.

The following table provides a disaggregation of lease income recognized under ASC 842 (in thousands):

(1) Fixed lease income includes contractual rents under lease agreements with tenants recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(2) Variable lease income primarily includes tenant reimbursements for real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, and lease termination fees, and the write-off of uncollectible amounts. There were immaterial write-offs of uncollectible amounts during the three months ended March 31, 2023 with no write-offs during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Corporate Office Lease

In August 2021, the Company entered into a lease agreement on a new corporate office space, which commenced in October 2021 and is classified as an operating lease. The lease has a remaining noncancellable lease term of 9.3 years that expires on July 31, 2032, with a one-time option to terminate in 2029 exercisable by the Company.

The following table presents the lease expense components for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

As of March 31, 2023, the right-of-use asset and operating lease liability was $4.1 million and $5.4 million, respectively. The right-of-use asset is included in other assets, net and the operating lease liability is included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(4) The Company records deferred financing costs for the New Revolver in other assets, net on its condensed consolidated balance sheets.

New Credit Facility

On August 11, 2022, the Company entered into a sustainability-linked senior unsecured credit facility consisting of (i) a $200.0 million senior unsecured term loan (the “2028 Term Loan”) and (ii) a $400.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “New Revolver”, and together with the 2028 Term Loan, the “New Credit Facility”). The New Credit Facility may be increased by $400.0 million in the aggregate.

The New Revolver refinanced and increased the available borrowing capacity under the Company’s $250.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Prior Revolver”) pursuant to the credit agreement, dated as of December 23, 2019, governing such facility (the “Prior Credit Agreement”).

The Company used the proceeds from the borrowings made on the closing date to repay the Prior Revolver. Remaining and future borrowings under the New Revolver will be used by the Company for general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries, including acquisitions. The Company’s $175.0 million senior unsecured term loan (“2024 Term Loan”) under the Prior Credit Agreement, which matures in December 2024, remained outstanding upon the closing of the New Credit Facility.

The 2028 Term Loan matures on February 11, 2028 and the New Revolver matures on August 11, 2026, subject to extension of up to one year. Borrowings under the New Credit Facility are repayable at the Company’s option in whole or in part without premium or penalty. Borrowings under the New Revolver may be repaid and reborrowed from time to time prior to the maturity date.

Prior to the date the Company obtains an investment grade rating, interest rates are based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio, and are determined by (A) in the case of the 2028 Term Loan either (i) SOFR, plus a SOFR adjustment of 0.10%, 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 agreement governing the New Credit Facility (the “New Credit Agreement”)), 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 the New Revolver either (i) SOFR, plus a SOFR adjustment of 0.10%, plus a margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.45%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio, or (ii) a Base Rate (as defined in the New Credit Agreement), plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.45%, based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio.

After the date the Company obtains an investment grade rating, interest rates are based on the Company’s investment grade rating, and are determined by (A) in the case of the 2028 Term Loan either (i) SOFR, plus a SOFR adjustment of 0.10%, plus a margin ranging from 0.80% to 1.60%, based on the Company’s investment grade rating, or (ii) a Base Rate (as defined in the New Credit Agreement), plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.60%, based on the Company’s investment grade rating and (B) in the case of the New Revolver either (i) SOFR, plus a SOFR adjustment of 0.10%, plus a margin ranging from 0.725% to 1.40%, based on the Company’s investment grade rating, or (ii) a Base Rate (as defined in the New Credit Agreement), plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.40%, based on the Company’s investment grade rating.

Additionally, the Company will incur a facility fee based on the total commitment amount of $400.0 million under the New Revolver. Prior to the date the Company obtains an investment grade rating, the applicable facility fee will range from 0.15% to 0.30% based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio. After the date the Company obtains an investment grade rating, the applicable facility fee will range from 0.125% to 0.30% based on the Company’s investment grade rating.

The New Credit Facility also contains a sustainability-linked pricing component pursuant to which the Company will receive interest rate reductions up to 0.025% based on its performance against a sustainability performance target focused on the portion of the Company’s annualized base rent attributable to tenants with commitments or quantifiable targets for reduced greenhouse gas emission in accordance with the standards of the Science Based Targets initiative (“SBTi”).

The Company has fully hedged the 2028 Term Loan with an all-in interest rate of 3.88%. Interest is payable monthly or at the end of the applicable interest period in arrears on any outstanding borrowings. The interest rate hedge is further described in “Note 7 – Derivative Financial Instruments.”

In connection with the New Credit Facility, the Company incurred $3.8 million of deferred financing costs which were allocated between the New Revolver and 2028 Term Loan in the amounts of $2.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Additionally, $0.5 million of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the Prior Revolver were reclassed to the New Revolver. Deferred financing costs are amortized over the remaining terms of each respective borrowing and are included in interest expense, net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Prior Credit Facility

In December 2019, the Company entered into the Prior Credit Agreement for a senior credit facility consisting of the Prior Revolver and the 2024 Term Loan (collectively, the “Prior Credit Facility”).

Effective September 28, 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate derivative contract to fix the base interest rate (one-month LIBOR) on the 2024 Term Loan. The total interest rate includes the fixed base interest rate of 0.21% plus a leverage-based margin of 1.15%. The interest rate hedge is further described in “Note 7 - Derivative Financial Instruments.”

On January 27, 2023, the Company executed an amendment to the Prior Credit Agreement that replaced the interest rate benchmark from LIBOR to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Additionally, on January 30, 2023 and effective through the maturity date of December 31, 2024, the Company converted its four existing LIBOR swap agreements associated with 2024 Term Loan into four new SOFR swaps that convert the SOFR variable rate to a fixed rate of 0.12%. The Company has fully hedged the 2024 Term Loan with an all-in interest rate of 1.37%. The interest rate hedge is further described in “Note 7 - Derivative Financial Instruments.”

The estimated fair values of the Company’s term loans have 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. Refer to “Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for additional detail on fair value measurements.

The Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants as of March 31, 2023 and expects to be in compliance for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2023.

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 condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

Effective September 28, 2020 and September 1, 2022, such derivatives were initiated to hedge the variable cash flows associated with the 2024 Term Loan and 2028 Term Loan, respectively. Additionally, the Company converted its existing LIBOR swap agreements associated with the 2024 Term Loan into new SOFR swaps effective January 30, 2023. The interest rate for the variable rate 2024 Term Loan is based on the hedged fixed rate of 0.12% compared to the variable 2024 Term Loan SOFR rate as of March 31, 2023 of 4.80%, plus a SOFR adjustment of 0.10% and applicable margin of 1.15%. The interest rate for the variable rate 2028 Term Loan is based on the hedged fixed rate of 2.63% compared to the variable 2028 Term Loan one-month SOFR rate as of March 31, 2023 of 4.67%, plus a SOFR adjustment of 0.10% and applicable margin of 1.15%. The maturity dates of the interest rate swaps coincide with the respective maturity dates of the 2024 and 2028 Term Loans.

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 had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk (in thousands, except number of instruments):

The following table presents the effect of the Company's interest rate swaps on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

Interest Rate Products$(3,141)$6,188 Interest expense, net$2,837 $(23)

The Company did not exclude any amounts from the assessment of hedge effectiveness for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $11.7 million will be reclassified as a decrease 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 March 31, 2023, 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. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The table below presents the Company’s derivative assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall (in thousands):

The Company contributed the net proceeds to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 3,440,962 Class A OP Units. As of December 31, 2022, the Company fully physically settled the forward sale agreements (by the delivery of shares of common stock).

Surrendered Shares on Vested Stock Unit Awards

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, portions of restricted stock unit awards (“RSUs”) granted to certain of the Company’s officers, directors, and employees vested. The vesting of these awards, granted pursuant to the NETSTREIT Corp. 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”), resulted in federal and state income tax liabilities for the recipients. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, as permitted by the terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan and the award grants, certain executive officers and employees elected to surrender a total of 18 thousand and 17 thousand RSUs, respectively both valued at approximately $0.4 million, solely to pay the associated statutory tax withholding. The surrendered RSUs are included in the row entitled “repurchase of shares of common stock” on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Dividends

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company declared and paid the following common stock dividends (in thousands, except per share data):

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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, noncontrolling interests represented 0.8% and 0.9%, respectively, of OP Units. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, OP Unit holders redeemed 5,694 and 25,629 OP units, respectively, into shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis.

Note 10 – Stock-Based Compensation

Under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, 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, RSUs, 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.

As of March 31, 2023, 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 income (loss) was $1.0 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. All awards of unvested restricted stock units are expected to fully vest over the next one to four years.

Performance-Based RSUs (effectiveness of Initial Public Offering)

Pursuant to the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Company made performance-based RSUs 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 RSUs 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 two years.

The following table summarizes performance-based RSU activity for the period ended March 31, 2023:

Unvested RSU grants outstanding as of March 31, 202361,391 $19.75 

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized $0.1 million in stock-based compensation expense associated with performance-based RSUs. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the remaining unamortized stock-based compensation expense totaled $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and as of March 31, 2023, these awards are expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 1.4 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 RSUs is calculated as the per share price in the private offering that closed on December 23, 2019.

Service-Based RSUs

Pursuant to the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Company has made service-based RSU 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 four years.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized $0.6 million in stock-based compensation expense associated with service-based RSUs. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the remaining unamortized stock-based compensation expense totaled $4.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively, and as of March 31, 2023, these awards are expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 2.3 years. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the total requisite service period for the entire award.

The grant date fair value of service-based unvested RSUs 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 years subsequent to 2020.
Performance-Based RSUs (total shareholder return)

Pursuant to the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Company has made market-based RSU 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 identified 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, February 28, 2025, and February 28, 2026. 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 current period calculation were expected volatility of the Company of 29.0% and expected volatility of the Company's peers, ranging from 32.2% to 102.8%, with an average volatility of 46.7% and a risk-free interest rate of 4.46%. The fair value per share on the grant date specific to the target TSR relative to the Company’s peers was $24.13 and the target absolute TSR was $20.15 for a weighted average grant date fair value of $21.57 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.

The following table summarizes market-based RSU activity for the period ended March 31, 2023:

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized $0.3 million in stock-based compensation expense associated with market-based RSUs. As of March 31, 2023, the remaining unamortized stock-based compensation expense totaled $3.4 million and as of March 31, 2023, these awards are expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 2.3 years.

Alignment of Interest Program

During March 2021, the Company adopted the Alignment of Interest Program (the “Program”), which allows employees to elect to receive a portion of their annual bonus in unvested RSUs in the first quarter of the following year that would then vest over a four-year service period beginning in the period that the bonus relates. The Program is deemed to be a liability-classified award (accounted for as an equity-classified award as the service date precedes the grant date and the award would otherwise be classified as equity on grant date), which will be fair-valued and accrued over the applicable service period. The total estimated fair value of the elections made for 2023 under the Program was approximately $0.4 million. The award will be remeasured to fair value each reporting period until the unvested RSUs are granted. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized approximately $0.1 million in stock-based compensation expense associated with these awards. Previous awards under the Program that have been granted are included within service based RSUs above.

Note 11 – Earnings Per Share

Net income 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 income 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 RSUs and unsettled shares under open forward equity contracts and using the if-converted method to determine the potential dilutive effect of the 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 months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

The lease has an remaining noncancellable term of 9.3 years that expires on July 31, 2032 and is renewable at the Company’s option for two additional periods of 5 years. Future minimum base rental payments under the lease are outlined in “Note - 3 - Leases.” Annual rent expense, excluding operating expenses, is approximately $0.5 million during the initial term.

As of March 31, 2023, 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.

Note 13 – Subsequent Events

Business 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. We also invest in property developments and mortgage loans secured by real estate. As of March 31, 2023, we owned or had investments in 488 single-tenant retail net leased properties that were diversified by tenant, industry and geography, including 83 different tenants, across 25 retail sectors in 45 states. This excludes four property developments where rent has yet to commence. We focus on tenants 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, all of which we refer to as defensive retail industries. As of March 31, 2023, our investments generated ABR1 of $108.9 million. Approximately 67% of our ABR is from investment grade2 credit rated tenants and an additional 15% of our ABR is derived from tenants with an investment grade profile3. Exclusive of mortgage loans receivable, our portfolio was 100% occupied with a weighted average remaining lease term (“WALT”) of 9.4 years, which we believe provides us with a strong stable source of recurring cash flow from our portfolio.


(1) Annualized base rent (“ABR”) is annualized contractual base rent in place as of the most recent quarter end for all leases that commenced as of that date, and annualized cash interest on mortgage loans receivable in place as of that date.
(2) We define “investment grade” tenants as tenants, or tenants that are subsidiaries of a parent entity, with a credit rating of BBB- (S&P/Fitch), Baa3 (Moody's) or NAIC2 (National Association of Insurance Commissioners) or higher.
(3) We define “investment grade profile” tenants as tenants with metrics of more than $1.0 billion in annual sales and a debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of less than 2.0x but do not carry a published rating from S&P, Moody’s or NAIC.

August 2022 Follow-On Offering

On August 8, 2022, we completed a registered public offering of 9,000,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $20.20 per share, which excluded an over-allotment option to the underwriters to purchase up to an additional 1,350,000 shares, which was exercised in full on August 10, 2022. In connection with the offering, we entered into forward sale agreements for 10,350,000 shares of its common stock. We did not initially receive any proceeds from the sales of shares of common stock by the forward purchasers upon registration of the offering. We may physically settle the forward sale agreements (by the delivery of shares of common stock) and receive proceeds from the sale of those shares upon one or more forward settlement dates, which shall occur no later than August 3, 2023. We may, at our election, cash settle or net share settle all or a portion of our obligations under a forward sale agreement if we concludes it is in its best interest to do so over the prescribed offering period. If we elect to cash settle a forward sale agreement, we may not receive any proceeds and may owe cash to the relevant forward counterparty in certain circumstances.

On March 30, 2023, we partially physically settled 2,612,736 shares of common stock at a price of $20.20 per share in accordance with the forward sale agreements. We received net proceeds from the settlement of $50.0 million, net of underwriting discounts and offering costs of $2.8 million. As of March 31, 2023, 4,763,320 shares remained unsettled under the August 8, 2022 forward sale agreements.

ATM Program

On September 1, 2021, we entered into a $250.0 million at-the-market equity program (the “ATM Program”) through which, from time to time, we may sell shares of our common stock in registered transactions. In March 2023, we issued 146,745 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $20.22 per share for net proceeds of approximately $2.9 million, net of sales commissions and offering costs of less than $0.1 million. We have $151.2 million remaining gross proceeds available for future issuances of shares of our common stock under the ATM Program.

Results of Operations

Overall

We continued to grow our assets during the first quarter of 2023 through the acquisition of properties and investment in mortgage loans receivable. This growth was financed through the settlement of shares of common stock through our forward sale agreements in an amount of $50.0 million, the issuance of common stock under the ATM Program in an amount of $2.9 million, the usage of existing cash balances as a result of borrowings on our Revolver, and cash flows from operations during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Acquisitions

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we acquired 20 properties for a total purchase price of $67.7 million, inclusive of $0.7 million of capitalized acquisition costs.

The acquisitions were all accounted for as asset acquisitions. These properties are located in 12 states with a WALT of approximately 9.4 years. The underwritten weighted-average capitalization rate on our year to date acquisitions was approximately 6.9%.

Development

As of March 31, 2023, we had three property developments under construction and one completed development where rent has yet to commence. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we invested $4.5 million in property developments. During this period, we completed development on two projects and reclassified approximately $14.8 million from property under development to land, building, and improvements in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Rent commenced for the completed developments in the first quarter of 2023. The remaining three developments in progress are expected to be substantially completed with rent commencing in the third and fourth quarters of 2023 for two of the developments and the second quarter of 2024 for the remaining development. The purchase price, including acquisition costs, and subsequent development are included in property under development in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2023.

Dispositions

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we sold eight properties for a total sales price, net of disposal costs of $15.5 million, recognizing a net loss of $0.3 million.

Investment in Mortgage Loans Receivable

On March 3, 2023, we executed a fully collateralized $41.9 million loan receivable with a stated interest rate of 9.55% and scheduled maturity date of March 10, 2026. The loan receivable is collateralized by 46 properties leased by one investment grade tenant. The funds provided under the loan are included in mortgage loans receivable, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2023.

On March 24, 2023, we executed a fully collateralized $4.1 million loan receivable with a stated interest rate of 6.89% and scheduled maturity date of April 10, 2026. The loan receivable is collateralized by three properties leased by one investment grade tenant. The funds provided under the loan are included in mortgage loans receivable, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2023.

Economic and Financial Environment

The average inflation rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was 5.0%. While the Federal Reserve has been continuing to raise interest rates in an effort to lower inflation, the pace at which it may continue to do so is unclear leading to uncertainties in the financing market and a volatile economy.

In the commercial real estate market, property prices generally continue to fluctuate which may impact our investment capitalization rates and operating costs. Likewise, during certain periods, including the current market, the credit markets have experienced significant price volatility, dislocations, and liquidity disruptions, which may impact our access to and cost of capital. We continually monitor the commercial real estate and credit markets carefully and, if required, will make decisions to adjust our business strategy accordingly.

Revenue. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by $8.2 million to $29.5 million from $21.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 which is attributed to an increase in the number of our operating leases and properties securing our mortgage loans. The increase includes an increase in cash rental receipts of $6.9 million, combined with net increases of property expense reimbursements of $0.9 million, and an increase of $0.6 million related to interest income on mortgage loans receivable offset by a decrease in straight-line rental revenue.

Total Operating Expenses. Total expenses increased by $5.6 million to $23.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $18.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in operating expenses is primarily attributed to the increase in the number of operating properties, with the most significant increases being depreciation and amortization expense, property-specific reimbursable expenses, and payroll costs. Total operating expenses include the following:

Property Expenses. Property expenses increased $1.0 million to $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase is primarily attributed to the increase in the number of operating properties, including combined net increases of reimbursable property expenses of $1.0 million, of which $0.4 million, $0.3 million, and $0.3 million was related to reimbursable common area maintenance costs, reimbursable insurance costs, and reimbursable property taxes, respectively.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $0.7 million to $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase is primarily due to an increase in payroll expenses $0.4 million in addition to smaller net increases in corporate office rent and franchise tax expense. While our general and administrative expenses will continue to rise in some measure as our portfolio grows, we expect that such expenses as a percentage of our portfolio will decrease over time due to efficiencies and economies of scale.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $3.9 million to $14.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $11.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. 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 $2.1 million, in-place lease amortization expense of $1.1 million, and building improvements depreciation expense of $0.8 million.

Table of Contents
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $2.7 million to $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase is primarily attributed to an increase of $1.9 million of interest incurred under our $200.0 million senior unsecured term loan (the “2028 Term Loan”), a net increase of $0.6 million under our $400.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “New Revolver”) as a result of higher interest rates driving an increase of $0.8 million offset by a decrease in average borrowings outstanding during the respective periods. Additional increases of $0.1 million and $0.1 million are attributed to increased facility fees and interest incurred under the mortgage note payable, respectively. This is offset by $0.1 million of increased capitalized interest on our property developments.

Gain (loss) on sales of real estate, net. Net loss on sales of real estate increased by $0.5 million to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from a $0.2 million net gain for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The table below summarizes the properties sold for the periods indicated (in thousands):

20232022
Number of properties sold81
Sales price, net of disposal costs$15,463 $2,294 
Gain (loss) on sales of real estate, net$(319)$161 

Other income. The change in other income is primarily related to $0.1 million of interest income earned on the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balances as presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Income tax benefit (expense). Income tax expense decreased by $0.1 million for three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease relates to income tax benefits regarding current period losses on disposals offset by provisions for federal and state income taxes on the financial results of NETSTREIT Management TRS, LLC.

Net income. Net income decreased $0.5 million to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Net income decreased primarily due to increases in interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and payroll expense offset by increases in additional rental revenues primarily due to the growth in the size of our real estate investment portfolio, including interest income associated with our mortgage loans receivable.

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 and borrowings under the $175.0 million senior unsecured term loan (the “2024 Term Loan”), 2028 Term Loan and New Revolver. As of March 31, 2023, we had $175.0 million outstanding principal amount of the 2024 Term Loan, $200.0 million outstanding principal amount of the 2028 Term Loan, and $96.0 million of borrowings outstanding under our New Revolver. Additionally, as of March 31, 2023, we had 4,763,320 shares that were unsettled under open forward equity contracts. We believe that the availability of proceeds from future issuances of shares of our common stock under the ATM Program and the physical settlement of forward sales of our common stock, coupled with our cash flows from operations and available borrowing capacity under the New Revolver, will be adequate to support our ongoing operations and to fund our debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. We anticipate funding our long-term capital needs through cash provided from operations, borrowings under our New Revolver and issuances of common stock, including settlement of existing forward sales agreements.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

As of March 31, 2023, our contractual debt obligations primarily include the maturity of our 2024 Term Loan with the scheduled principal payment due on December 23, 2024, the maturity of our 2028 Term Loan with the scheduled principal payment due on February 11, 2028, and repayment of borrowings on our New Revolver with a maturity of August 11, 2026. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we borrowed $99.0 million at a weighted average interest rate of 5.86% and also repaid $116.0 million on our revolving credit facilities.

(1) Effective September 28, 2020, we entered into four interest rate hedges to fix the base interest rate (one-month LIBOR) on our 2024 Term Loan which were converted to daily SOFR effective January 30, 2023. Accordingly, the projected interest rate obligations for the variable rate 2024 Term Loan are based on the hedged fixed rate of 0.12% compared to the variable 2024 Term Loan daily SOFR rate as of March 31, 2023 of 4.80%, plus a SOFR adjustment 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 facility fee of 0.15% on our New Revolver.
(3) Effective August 11, 2022, we entered into three interest rate hedges to fix the base interest rate (one-month SOFR) on our 2028 Term Loan. Accordingly, the projected interest rate obligations for the variable rate 2028 Term Loan are based on the hedged fixed rate of 2.63% compared to the variable 2028 Term Loan one-month SOFR rate as of December 31, 2022 of 4.67%, plus a SOFR adjustment of 0.10% and applicable margin of 1.15% based on the $200.0 million 2028 Term Loan outstanding through the maturity date of February 11, 2028.

In August 2021, we entered into a lease agreement on a new corporate office space, which is classified as an operating lease. We began operating out of the new office in February 2022. The lease has a remaining noncancellable term of 9.3 years that expires on July 31, 2032 and is renewable at our option for two additional periods of five years. Future minimum base rental payments under the lease are outlined in “Note - 3 - Leases.” Annual rent expense, excluding operating expenses, is approximately $0.5 million during the initial term.

Additionally, in the normal course of business, we enter into various types of commitments to purchase real estate properties or fund development projects. These commitments are generally subject to our 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 March 31, 2023, we had commitments to fund properties under development totaling $6.0 million, all of which is expected to be funded over the next two years.

Credit Facilities

On January 27, 2023, we executed an amendment to the Prior Credit Agreement that replaced the interest rate benchmark from LIBOR to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Additionally, on January 30, 2023 and effective through the maturity date of December 31, 2024, we converted its four existing LIBOR swap agreements associated with the 2024 Term Loan into four new SOFR swaps that convert the SOFR variable rate to a fixed rate of 0.12%. We have fully hedged the 2024 Term Loan with an all-in interest rate of 1.37%. The interest rate hedge is further described in “Note 7 - Derivative Financial Instruments.”

Further discussion of our debt is included in “Note 6 - Debt” of our condensed consolidated financial statements, included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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.

Historical Cash Flow Information

Three Months Ended

Operating activities$14,806 $8,954 
Investing activities(102,412)(133,708)
Financing activities23,659 121,838 

Cash Flows Provided By Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. 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 $6.9 million, offset primarily by increases in operating and general and administrative expenses paid associated with our larger portfolio.

Cash Flows Used In Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $31.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in cash spent on acquisitions of real estate of $22.3 million and cash spent on real estate development and improvements of $1.9 million, offset by an increase in our investment in mortgage loans receivable of $5.5 million. Additionally, an increase of $13.2 million of proceeds were received in connection with the sale of real estate.

Cash Flows Provided By Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $98.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily attributed to a reduction in net borrowings of $73.0 million under our revolving credit facilities. Further, issuances of common stock in connection with our ATM Program and physical settlement of our common stock under the forward sale agreements provided $22.6 million fewer proceeds. Additionally, we paid $2.8 million more in common stock dividends during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

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. 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 stockholders 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 2023 to receive a full dividends paid deduction.

We maintain a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) which may be subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes on its taxable income. In general, our 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.

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, 2022, 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 expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), EBITDA adjusted to exclude gains (or losses) from the sales of depreciable property and real estate impairment losses (“EBITDAre”), EBITDAre further adjusted to exclude straight-line rent, non-cash compensation expense, non-recurring severance and related charges, and other non-recurring expenses (or income) (“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

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), an industry trade group, has promulgated a widely accepted non-GAAP financial measure of operating performance known as FFO. Our FFO is net income in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) resulting from dispositions of properties, plus depreciation and amortization and impairment charges on depreciable real property.

Core FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as FFO adjusted to remove the effect of unusual and non-recurring items that are not expected to impact our operating performance or operations on an ongoing basis. These include non-recurring severance and related charges and gain on insurance proceeds.

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 lease-related intangibles, capitalized interest expense, non-cash compensation expense, amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of above/below-market assumed debt, and amortization of loan origination 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 FFO, 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 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.

EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre

We compute EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income tax expense, 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 impairment charges on depreciable real property.

Adjusted EBITDAre is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as EBITDAre further adjusted to exclude straight-line rent, non-cash compensation expense, non-recurring severance and related charges, and gain on insurance proceeds.

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.

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

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 (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding general and administrative expenses, interest expense (or income), income tax expense, transaction costs, depreciation and amortization, gains (or losses) on sales of depreciable property, real estate impairment losses, interest income on mortgage loans receivable, and other income (or expense). We further adjust NOI for non-cash revenue components of straight-line rent and amortization of lease-related intangibles 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 depend 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 March 31, 2023, we had total indebtedness of approximately $175.0 million under the 2024 Term Loan, $200.0 million under the 2028 Term Loan, and $96.0 million of borrowings under the New Revolver, all of which are floating rate debt with a variable interest rate. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had average daily outstanding borrowings on our New Revolver of $69.2 million.
On September 28, 2020 and September 1, 2022, and effective through the maturity dates of December 23, 2024 and February 11, 2028, respectively, we entered into interest rate derivative contracts in order to hedge our market interest risk associated with the 2024 Term Loan and the 2028 Term Loan, respectively. On January 27, 2023, we executed an amendment to the Prior Credit Agreement that replaced the interest rate benchmark from LIBOR to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Additionally, on January 30, 2023 and effective through the maturity date of December 31, 2024, we converted our four existing LIBOR swap agreements associated with the 2024 Term Loan into four new SOFR swaps that convert the SOFR variable rate to a fixed rate of 0.12%. The interest rate derivative contracts convert the variable rate debt on the term loans to a fixed interest rate (as further described in “Note 6 - Debt” in our condensed consolidated financial statements).

Additionally, we will occasionally fund acquisitions through the use of our New Revolver which bears an interest rate determined by either (i) SOFR, plus a SOFR adjustment of 0.10%, plus a margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.45%, based on our consolidated total leverage ratio, or (ii) a Base Rate (as defined in the New Credit Facility), plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.45%, based on our 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 New Revolver during 2023, which assumes a 1% adverse change in the interest rate as of March 31, 2023, the estimated market risk exposure was approximately $0.7 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
