(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 September 30, 2023, the Company owned or had investments in 547 properties, located in 45 states, excluding 32 property developments where rent has yet to commence.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 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.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Fair value measurement of an asset group occurs when events or changes in circumstances related to an asset indicate that the carrying amount of the asset is no longer recoverable. An example of an event or changed circumstance is a reduction in the expected holding period of a property. 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 asset group is recoverable. When a carrying amount is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset group 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 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820.

The following table summarizes the provision for impairment during the periods indicated below (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Total provision for impairment	$	1,538	$	—	$	4,374	$	1,114
Number of properties: (1)
Classified as held for sale	—		—		6		—
Disposed within the period	2		—		2		1

(1) Includes the number of properties that were either (i) impaired during the period on the held for sale classification date and remained as held for sale as of period-end or (ii) impaired and disposed of during the respective period. Excludes properties that did not have impairment recorded during the year. Of the total provision for impairment during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded $0.7 million of additional impairment expense on properties that were classified as held for sale in prior periods.

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 less than $0.1 million of restricted cash as of September 30, 2023, and $4.7 million of restricted cash as of December 31, 2022.

The Company’s bank balances as of September 30, 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 the Company’s financial instruments are estimates based on market conditions and perceived risks as of September 30, 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 September 30, 2023:

•Borrowings under the Company’s 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 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.

(2) On June 15, 2023, the Company amended and restated its 2024 Term Loan, providing for a $175.0 million senior unsecured term loan (the “2027 Term Loan”).

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no tenants or borrowers with rental revenue or interest income on loans receivable, respectively, that exceeded 10% of total rental revenue.

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 September 30, 2023, the Company’s weighted average remaining lease term was 9.3 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 and is presented net of any reserves for uncollectible amounts. There were no material reserves for uncollectible amounts during the three and nine months ended September 30, 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.

Future minimum rentals exclude amounts that may be received from tenants for reimbursements of operating costs and property taxes. In addition, the future minimum rents do not include any contingent rents based on a percentage of the lessees' gross sales or lease escalations based on future changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) or other stipulated reference rate.

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 8.8 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

On July 3, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement (the “2029 Term Loan Agreement”) related to a $250.0 million sustainability-linked senior unsecured term loan (the “2029 Term Loan”) which may, subject to the terms of the 2029 Term Loan Agreement, be increased to an amount of up to $400.0 million at the Company’s request. The 2029 Term Loan contains a 12-month delayed draw feature and $150.0 million was drawn on July 3, 2023. The 2029 Term Loan is prepayable at the Company’s option in whole or in part without premium or penalty. The 2029 Term Loan matures on July 3, 2026, subject to extension options at the Company’s election on two occasions, by one year and, on one occasion, by six months (subject to certain conditions).

The interest rate applicable to the 2029 Term Loan is determined by the Company’s Investment Grade Rating (as defined in the 2029 Term Loan Agreement). Prior to the date the Company obtains an Investment Grade Rating, interest shall accrue at either (i) SOFR, plus a margin ranging from 1.15% to 1.60% or (ii) Base Rate (as defined in the 2029 Term Loan Agreement), plus a margin ranging from 0.15% to 0.60%, in each case based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio. After the date the Company obtains an Investment Grade Rating, interest shall accrue at either (i) SOFR, plus a margin ranging from 0.80% to

1.60% or (ii) Base Rate, plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.60%, in each case based on the Company’s Investment Grade Rating.

The Company has hedged the entire $250.0 million of the 2029 Term Loan at an all-in fixed interest rate of 4.99%, through January 2029, which consists of the fixed rate SOFR swap of 3.74%, plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% and, at current leverage levels, a borrowing spread of 1.15%. Interest is payable monthly or at the end of the applicable interest period in arrears on any outstanding borrowings.

The 2029 Term Loan also contains 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 based rent attributable to tenants with commitments or quantifiable targets for reduced GHG emission is accordance with the standards of the Science Based Targets initiative (“SBTi”).

In connection with the 2029 Term Loan, the Company incurred $1.4 million of deferred financing costs. Additionally, the Company incurred $0.9 million of loan commitment fees which has been capitalized to other assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The deferred financing costs and capitalized loan commitment fees are both amortized over the term of the loan and are included in interest expense, net on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

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 “Revolver”, and together with the 2028 Term Loan, the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility may be increased by $400.0 million in the aggregate for total availability of up to $800.0 million.

The 2028 Term Loan matures on February 11, 2028. The Revolver matures on August 11, 2026, subject to a one year extension option at the Company’s election (subject to certain conditions) to August 11, 2027. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are repayable at the Company’s option in whole or in part without premium or penalty. Borrowings under the 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 (as defined in the credit agreement governing the Credit Facility (the “Credit Agreement”)), 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), 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 SBTi.

(2) Includes the effects of interest rate hedges in place as of such date.

Deferred financing, discount, and debt issuance costs are amortized over the remaining terms of each respective borrowing and are included in interest expense, net in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the term loans had a weighted average interest rate, exclusive of amortization of deferred financing costs and the effects of interest rate hedges, of 6.53% and 3.53%, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, term loans had a weighted average interest rate, exclusive of amortization of deferred financing costs and the effects of interest rate hedges, of 5.09% and 2.49%, respectively.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred interest expense on revolving credit facilities with a weighted average interest rate, exclusive of amortization of deferred financing costs and facility fees, of 7.05% and 3.28%, respectively.

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 September 30, 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 statements of cash flows.

Effective July 3, 2023, such derivatives were initiated to hedge the variable cash flows associated with the 2029 Term Loan. The interest rate for the variable rate 2029 Term Loan is based on the hedged fixed rate of 3.64% compared to the variable 2029 Term Loan daily SOFR rate as of September 30, 2023 of 5.32%, plus a SOFR adjustment of 0.10% and applicable margin of 1.15%. The maturity dates of the interest rate swaps coincide with the fully extended maturity date of the 2029 Term Loan.

Table of Contents

Effective September 1, 2022, such derivatives were initiated to hedge the variable cash flows associated with the 2028 Term Loan. 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 September 30, 2023 of 5.33%, plus a SOFR adjustment of 0.10% and applicable margin of 1.15%. The maturity dates of the interest rate swaps coincide with the maturity date of the 2028 Term Loan.

Effective January 27, 2023, the Company 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% and on June 15, 2023, the Company amended and restated its 2024 Term Loan, providing for a $175.0 million senior unsecured term loan (the “2027 Term Loan”). The interest rate on the variable 2027 Term Loan includes a daily SOFR rate as of September 30, 2023 of 5.30%, plus a SOFR adjustment of 0.10% and applicable margin of 1.15%. In anticipation of the amendment and restatement of the 2024 Term Loan, additional derivatives, effective November 27, 2023 and December 23, 2024 at hedged fixed rates of 1.87% and 2.40%, respectively, were initiated to hedge the variable cash flows associated with the 2027 Term Loan through the fully extended maturity date.

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):

Table of Contents

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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall (in thousands):

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 September 30, 2023, the only stock-based compensation granted by the Company were RSUs. 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 was $1.3 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Stock-based compensation expense was $3.6 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. All awards of unvested restricted stock units are expected to fully vest over the next one to five 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 September 30, 2023:


	Shares	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share
Unvested RSU grants outstanding as of December 31, 2022	61,391	$	19.75
Vested during the period	(632)	19.75
Unvested RSU grants outstanding as of September 30, 2023	60,759	$	19.75

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in stock-based compensation expense associated with performance-based RSUs. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the remaining unamortized stock-based compensation expense totaled $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and as of September 30, 2023, these awards are expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 1.0 year. 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 three years.

The following table summarizes service-based RSU activity for the period ended September 30, 2023:


	Shares	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share
Unvested RSU grants outstanding as of December 31, 2022	247,079	$	19.86
Granted during the period	161,757	19.79
Forfeited during the period	(1,627)	20.17
Vested during the period	(108,300)	19.93
Unvested RSU grants outstanding as of September 30, 2023	298,909	$	19.79

Table of Contents

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized $0.7 million and $2.0 million, respectively, in stock-based compensation expense associated with service-based RSUs. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the remaining unamortized stock-based compensation expense totaled $4.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively, and as of September 30, 2023, these awards are expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 2.0 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 September 30, 2023:


	Shares	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share
Unvested RSU grants outstanding as of December 31, 2022	177,350	$	19.83
Granted during the period	81,751	21.57
Forfeited during the period	(543)	19.36
Unvested RSU grants outstanding as of September 30, 2023	258,558	$	20.38

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized $0.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, in stock-based compensation expense associated with market-based RSUs. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the remaining unamortized stock-based compensation expense totaled $2.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively, and as of September 30, 2023, these awards are expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 1.9 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 $0.5 million. The award will be remeasured to fair value each reporting period until the unvested RSUs are granted. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

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 properties. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had tenant improvement allowance commitments totaling approximately $4.1 million, all of which is expected to be funded over the next two years.

The Company began operating out of the new office in February 2022. The lease has a remaining noncancellable term of 8.8 years that expires on July 31, 2032 and is renewable at the Company’s 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.

As of September 30, 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.

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 September 30, 2023, we owned or had investments in 547 single-tenant retail net leased properties that were diversified by tenant, industry and geography, including 85 different tenants, across 26 retail sectors in 45 states. This excludes 32 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 September 30, 2023, our investments generated ABR1 of $124.3 million. Approximately 69% 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 9.3 years, which we believe provides us with a strong stable source of recurring cash flow from our portfolio.

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. We have issued or committed to issue shares of common stock in connection with the ATM Program for the periods presented as follows:

•On September 14, 2023, we entered into a forward confirmation with respect to 7,500,000 shares of our common stock under the ATM Program. On September 28, 2023, we partially physically settled 1,516,289 shares of common stock at a price of $16.49 per share under such forward confirmation for net proceeds of approximately $24.8 million, net of sales commissions and offering costs of $0.2 million. We contributed the net proceeds to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 1,516,289 Class A OP Units. 5,983,711 shares remain unsettled under the forward confirmation as of September 30, 2023.

•In September 2023, we issued 46,228 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $17.09 per share for net proceeds of approximately $0.8 million, net of sales commissions and offering costs of less than $0.1 million.

•In August 2023, we issued 109,725 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $17.18 per share for net proceeds of approximately $1.8 million, net of sales commissions and offering costs of $0.1 million.

As of September 30, 2023, we have $99.6 million remaining gross proceeds available for future issuances of shares of common stock under the ATM Program, inclusive of 5,983,711 shares remaining unsettled under the outstanding forward confirmation. .

2029 Term Loan

On July 3, 2023, we entered into an agreement (“2029 Term Loan Agreement”) related to a $250.0 million sustainability-linked senior unsecured term loan (the “2029 Term Loan”) which may, subject to the terms of the 2029 Term Loan Agreement, be increased to an amount of up to $400.0 million at our request. The 2029 Term Loan contains a 12-month delayed draw feature and $150.0 million was drawn on July 3, 2023. The 2029 Term Loan is prepayable at our option in whole or in part without premium or penalty. The 2029 Term Loan matures on July 3, 2026, subject to extension options at our election on two occasions, by one year and, on one occasion, by six months (subject to certain conditions).

1 Annualized base rent (“ABR”) is annualized base rent as of September 30, 2023, for all leases that commenced, 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.

Table of Contents

We hedged the entire $250.0 million of the 2029 Term Loan at an all-in fixed interest rate of 4.99%, through January 2029, which consists of the fixed rate SOFR swap of 3.74%, plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% and, at current leverage levels, a borrowing spread of 1.15%. Interest is payable monthly or at the end of the applicable interest period in arrears on any outstanding borrowings. See further discussion of our debt, interest rate, and interest rate hedges included in “Note 6 - Debt.”

Results of Operations

Overall

We continued to grow our assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 through the acquisition of properties, property developments, 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 $141.1 million, the issuance of common stock under the ATM Program in an amount of $53.7 million, the execution of the 2029 Term Loan Agreement and receipt of proceeds of $150.0 million under the 2029 Term Loan, net borrowings on our $400.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), and cash flows from operations during nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Acquisitions

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we acquired 21 properties for a total purchase price of $95.3 million, inclusive of $0.8 million of capitalized acquisition costs. The acquisitions were all accounted for as asset acquisitions. These properties are located in 10 states with a WALT of approximately 10.0 years. The underwritten weighted-average capitalization rate on our third quarter acquisitions was approximately 7.0%.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we acquired 69 properties for a total purchase price of $259.2 million, inclusive of $2.4 million of capitalized acquisition costs. The acquisitions were all accounted for as asset acquisitions. These properties are located in 21 states with a WALT of approximately 10.4 years. The underwritten weighted-average capitalization rate on our year to date acquisitions was approximately 6.9%.

Development

As of September 30, 2023, we had 27 property developments under construction. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we invested $33.2 million in property developments, including the land acquisition of 14 new developments with a combined initial purchase price of $9.6 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we invested $55.5 million in property developments, including the land acquisition of 34 new developments with a combined initial purchase price of $21.6 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we completed development on 12 projects and reclassified approximately $38.8 million from property under development to land, building, and improvements in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Rent commenced for seven of the 12 completed developments during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, while rent is expected to commence for the other five completed developments in the fourth quarter of 2023. The remaining 27 developments in progress are expected to be substantially completed with rent commencing at various points throughout the next twelve months. The purchase price, including acquisition costs, and subsequent development are included in property under development in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2023.

Dispositions

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we sold four properties for a total sales price, net of disposal costs of $7.2 million, recognizing a gain of $0.4 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we sold fourteen properties for a total sales price, net of disposal costs of $26.5 million, recognizing a gain of $0.7 million.

Investment in Mortgage Loans Receivable

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we invested $7.2 million in fully collateralized mortgage loans receivable with stated interest rates ranging from 7.00% to 8.50%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we invested $68.8 million in fully collateralized mortgage loans receivable with stated interest rates ranging from 6.89% to 9.55%. The mortgage loans receivable are collateralized by real estate. The funds provided under the loans, in addition to discount and loan origination costs of $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, are included in mortgage loans receivable, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2023. See “Note 4 - Real Estate Investments” for further discussion on our mortgage loans receivable portfolio.

Economic and Financial Environment

The average inflation rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was 4.4%. While the Federal Reserve has been raising 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 September 30, 2023 increased by $9.0 million to $34.0 million from $25.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, which is attributed to an increase in the number of our operating leases and properties securing our mortgage loans. The increase includes additional cash rental receipts of $6.1 million, combined with net increases of property expense reimbursements of $1.1 million, an increase of $1.6 million related to interest income on mortgage loans receivable, and an increase of $0.6 million in other revenue related to the receipt of legal settlement proceeds associated with a lease termination. The increase in revenue is offset by a $0.1 million decrease in straight-line rental revenue, a $0.1 million increase in reserves for uncollectible amounts, and a $0.1 million decrease in amortization of above- and below-market lease related intangible assets.

Total Operating Expenses. Total expenses increased by $6.0 million to $26.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $20.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase is primarily attributed to an increase in the number of operating properties, with the most significant increases being depreciation and amortization expense, provisions for impairment, property-specific reimbursable expenses, and payroll costs. Total operating expenses include the following:

Table of Contents

•Property Expenses. Property expenses increased $1.4 million to $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase is primarily attributed to an increase in the number of operating properties, including combined net increases of reimbursable property expenses of $1.3 million, of which $0.7 million, $0.5 million, and $0.1 million were related to reimbursable property taxes, reimbursable common area maintenance costs, and reimbursable insurance costs, respectively.

•General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $0.5 million to $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase is primarily due to an increase in bonus expenses of $0.4 million and an increase in payroll expenses of $0.1 million. 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 $2.4 million to $15.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $13.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 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 $1.5 million, building improvements depreciation expense of $0.5 million, and in-place lease amortization expense of $0.4 million.

•Provisions for Impairment. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded provisions for impairment of $1.5 million on seven properties, which were either previously classified as held-for-sale, newly classified as held-for-sale or disposed of during the three months ended September 30, 2023. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded no provisions for impairment. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we sold two properties that were impaired. These disposals relate to management’s continuous assessment of the Company’s portfolio in an effort to improve returns and manage risk exposure.

•Transaction costs. Transaction costs increased by less than $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from less than $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, which primarily relates to an increase in costs incurred for abandoned acquisitions.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $0.9 million to $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase is primarily attributed to an increase of $0.7 million of interest incurred under our $200.0 million senior unsecured term loan (the “2028 Term Loan”), an increase of $2.2 million of interest incurred under the 2029 Term Loan, and an increase of $0.3 million in loan fee amortization. This is offset by $1.1 million in amortization of deferred gains on interest rate swaps, $0.3 million of increased capitalized interest on our property developments, and a net decrease of $0.9 million under the Revolver primarily due to a decrease in average borrowings outstanding during the respective periods.

Gain on sales of real estate, net. Net gain on sales of real estate increased by $0.3 million to a net gain of $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from a net gain of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The table below summarizes the properties sold for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):


	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022
Number of properties sold	4		1
Sales price, net of disposal costs	$	7,224	$	1,660
Gain on sales of real estate, net	$	373	$	143

Other income, net. Other income increased by $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase relates to $0.4 million of interest income earned on our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balances as presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Income tax (expense) benefit. Income tax expense decreased by $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease relates to lower provisions for federal and state income taxes on the financial results of our taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”).

Table of Contents

Net income. Net income increased $2.8 million to $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Net income increased primarily due to increases in rental revenues due to the growth in the size of our real estate investment portfolio, including interest income associated with our mortgage loans receivable. This is offset by increases in depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, reimbursable property expenses, and provisions for impairment as set forth above.

Revenue. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased by $26.0 million to $95.0 million from $69.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which is attributed to an increase in the number of our operating leases and properties securing our mortgage loans. The increase includes additional cash rental receipts of $20.5 million, combined with net increases of property expense reimbursements of $2.8 million, an increase of $3.5 million related to interest income on mortgage loans receivable, and an increase of $0.6 million in other revenue related to the receipt of legal settlement proceeds associated with a lease termination. The increase in revenue is offset by a $0.8 million decrease in straight-line rental revenue and a $0.4 million increase in reserves for uncollectible amounts.

Total Operating Expenses. Total expenses increased by $18.2 million to $77.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $59.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase is primarily attributed to an increase in the number of operating properties, with the most significant increases being depreciation and amortization expense, provisions for impairment, property-specific reimbursable expenses, and payroll costs. Total operating expenses include the following:

•Property Expenses. Property expenses increased $3.2 million to $11.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $8.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase is primarily attributed to an increase in the number of operating properties, including combined net increases of reimbursable property expenses of $3.1 million, of which $1.3 million, $1.2 million, and $0.6 million were related to reimbursable property taxes, reimbursable common area maintenance costs, and reimbursable insurance costs, respectively.

Table of Contents

•General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $1.7 million to $15.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $13.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase is primarily due to increased payroll expenses of $0.8 million, bonus expenses of $0.7 million, franchise taxes of $0.2 million, corporate office lease expenses of $0.2 million, and executive severance and transition costs of $0.2 million. This is offset by decreased corporate insurance of $0.3 million and accounting service and consulting fees of $0.3 million. 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 $10.5 million to $46.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $36.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 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 $5.8 million, in-place lease amortization expense of $2.6 million, building improvements depreciation expense of $2.0 million, and leasehold improvements depreciation expense of $0.2 million. This is offset by a decrease in assembled workforce amortization expense of $0.2 million.

•Provision for Impairment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded provisions for impairment of $4.4 million on 10 properties, which were either previously classified as held-for-sale, newly classified as held-for-sale or disposed of during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded provisions for impairment of $1.1 million on one property. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we sold two properties that were impaired. These disposals relate to management’s continuous assessment of the Company’s portfolio in an effort to improve returns and manage risk exposure.

•Transaction costs. Transaction costs decreased by $0.4 million to $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which primarily relates to a decrease in costs incurred for abandoned acquisitions.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $7.7 million to $13.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase is primarily attributed to an increase of $4.7 million of interest incurred under the 2028 Term Loan, an increase of $2.2 million of interest incurred under the 2029 Term Loan, and a net increase of $1.3 million under the Revolver as a result of higher interest rates driving an increase of $2.2 million offset by a decrease in average borrowings outstanding during the respective periods. Additional increases of $0.4 million and $0.6 million are attributed to increased facility fees and increased loan fee amortization, respectively. This is offset by $1.1 million in amortization of deferred gains on interest rate swaps, $0.5 million of increased capitalized interest on our property developments.

Gain on sales of real estate, net. Net gain on sales of real estate decreased by $1.5 million to a net gain of $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from a net gain of $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The table below summarizes the properties sold for the periods indicated (in thousands):


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022
Number of properties sold	14		4
Sales price, net of disposal costs	$	26,523	$	13,837
Gain on sales of real estate, net	$	669	$	2,162

Other income, net. Other income increased by $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase relates to $0.6 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 (expense) benefit. Income tax expense decreased by $0.5 million to an income tax benefit of $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from an income tax expense of $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease relates to lower provisions for federal and state income taxes on the financial results of our TRS.

Net income. Net income decreased $0.5 million to $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from a net income of $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Net income decreased primarily due to increases in interest expense, depreciation and amortization expenses, provisions for impairment, payroll expense, as well as a decrease in net gains on sales of real estate, as set forth above. This is offset primarily by increases in rental revenues 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 development and investments in mortgage loans receivable 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 available borrowing facilities. As of September 30, 2023, we had $175.0 million outstanding principal amount of the senior unsecured term loan (the “2027 Term Loan”), $200.0 million outstanding principal amount of the 2028 Term Loan, $150.0 million outstanding principal amount of the 2029 Term Loan, and $42.0 million of borrowings outstanding under our Revolver. Additionally, as of September 30, 2023, we had $99.6 million remaining gross proceeds available for future issuances of shares of our common stock under the ATM Program, inclusive of 5,983,711 shares remaining unsettled under the outstanding forward confirmation.

We believe that the availability of proceeds from future issuances of shares of our common stock under the current ATM Program or subsequent at-the-market sale programs, coupled with our cash flows from operations and available borrowing capacity under the Revolver and 2029 Term Loan, 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 Revolver, 2029 Term Loan and issuances of common stock.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

As of September 30, 2023, our contractual debt obligations primarily include the maturity of our 2027 Term Loan with the scheduled principal payment due on January 15, 2026, the maturity of our 2028 Term Loan with the scheduled principal payment due on February 11, 2028, the maturity of our 2029 Term Loan with the scheduled principal payment due on July 3, 2026, and repayment of borrowings on our Revolver with a maturity of August 11, 2026. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we borrowed $288.0 million at a weighted average interest rate of 5.98% and also repaid $359.0 million on our revolving credit facilities.

The following table provides information with respect to our commitments as of September 30, 2023 (in thousands):

(1) We entered into five interest rate hedges to fix the base interest rate (daily SOFR) on our 2027 Term Loan. The hedged fixed rate will reset effective November 27, 2023 to 1.87% and December 23, 2024 to 2.40%. Accordingly, the projected interest rate obligations for the variable rate 2027 Term Loan are based on the hedged fixed rates of 0.12% through November 27, 2023, 1.87% through December 23, 2024, and 2.40% thereafter, compared to the variable 2027 Term Loan daily SOFR rate as of September 30, 2023 of 5.30%, plus a SOFR adjustment of 0.10% and applicable margin of 1.15% based on the $175.0 million 2027 Term Loan outstanding through the contractual maturity date of January 15, 2026.

(2) We are subject to a facility fee of 0.15% on our Revolver.

Table of Contents

(3) 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 September 30, 2023 of 5.33%, 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.

(4) We entered into four interest rate hedges to fix the base interest rate (daily SOFR) on our 2029 Term Loan. Accordingly, the projected interest rate obligations for the variable rate 2029 Term Loan are based on the hedged fixed rate of 3.64% compared to the variable 2029 Term Loan daily SOFR rate as of September 30, 2023 of 5.32%, plus a SOFR adjustment of 0.10% and applicable margin of 1.15% based on the $150.0 million of the 2029 Term Loan outstanding through the contractual maturity date of July 3, 2026.

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 8.8 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 we are obligated or receive an option to purchase the properties. As of September 30, 2023, we had commitments to fund properties under development totaling $37.9 million, all of which is expected to be funded over the next two years.

of our condensed consolidated financial statements, included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

As of September 30, 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

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022
(In thousands)	(Unaudited)
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	51,512	$	38,706
Investing activities	(345,731)		(381,188)
Financing activities	231,610		351,069

Cash Flows Provided By Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $12.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 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 $20.5 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 $35.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in cash spent on acquisitions of real estate of $74.3 million, offset by increases in cash spent on investments in mortgage loans receivable of $19.0 million and cash spent on real estate development and improvements of $32.2 million. The remaining decrease is primarily related to proceeds from the sale of real estate, which increased $10.9 million compared to the prior period.

Table of Contents

Cash Flows Provided By Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $119.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily attributed to a reduction in net borrowings of $37.0 million under our revolving credit facilities, a reduction in term loan proceeds of $50.0 million, a decrease of proceeds from issuances of common stock in connection with our ATM Program of $24.1 million, an increase in payments of common stock dividends of $9.1 million, and a decrease in proceeds under property development incentives of $0.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was offset by decreases in deferred offering costs and deferred financing costs of $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 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 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.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, 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 income.

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 further adjusted to exclude gains (or losses) from the sales of depreciable property and real estate impairment losses (“EBITDAre”), Adjusted EBITDAre, Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre, Net Debt, property-level net operating income (“Property-Level NOI”), property-level cash net operating income (“Property-Level Cash NOI”), property-level cash net operating income estimated run rate (“Property-Level Cash NOI Estimated Run Rate”), and total property-level cash net operating income estimated run rate (“Total Property-Level Cash NOI Estimated Run Rate”), all of which are detailed below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs.

Table of Contents

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 executive transition costs, severance and related charges, gain on insurance proceeds, and loss on debt extinguishments and other related costs.

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 and earned development interest, non-cash 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, Adjusted EBITDAre and Annualized 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 executive transition costs, severance and related charges, loss on debt extinguishment and other related costs, gain on insurance proceeds, other non-recurring expenses (income), lease termination fees, adjustment for construction in process, and adjustment for intraquarter activities. Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre is Adjusted EBITDAre multiplied by four.

We present EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Annualized 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, Adjusted EBITDAre and Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre as measures of our operating performance and not as measures of liquidity.

EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre and Annualized 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, Adjusted EBITDAre and Annualized 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.

Adjusted EBITDAre	$	27,681	$	20,061

Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre (3)	$	110,724
Net Debt Adjusted for Outstanding Forward Equity / Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre	4.2

(1) Adjustment reflects the estimated cash yield on developments in process balances as of period end.

(2) Adjustment assumes all re-leasing activity, investments in and dispositions of real estate, including developments and interest earning loan activity completed during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 had occurred on July 1, 2023 and July 1, 2022, respectively.

(3) We calculate Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre by multiplying Adjusted EBITDAre by four.

Net Debt and Net Debt Adjusted for Outstanding Forward Equity

We calculate our Net Debt as our principal amount of total debt outstanding excluding deferred financing costs, net discounts and debt issuance costs less cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash available for future investment. We further adjust Net Debt by the value of outstanding forward equity as of period end to derive Net Debt Adjusted for Outstanding Forward Equity. We believe excluding cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash available for future investment from our principal amount in addition to excluding the value of outstanding forward equity, all of which could be used to repay debt, provides an estimate of the net contractual amount of borrowed capital to be repaid. We believe these adjustments are additional beneficial disclosures to investors and analysts.

The following table reconciles the principal amount of total debt to Net Debt Adjusted for Outstanding Forward Equity:


	As of September 30, 2023
Principal amount of total debt	$	575,399
Less: Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	(7,934)
Net Debt	567,465
Value of outstanding forward equity (1)	(98,671)
Net Debt Adjusted for Outstanding Forward Equity	$	468,794

(1) There were 5,983,711 unsettled shares under forward equity contracts under the ATM Program as of September 30, 2023 at the available net settlement price of $16.49.

Property-Level NOI, Property-Level Cash NOI, Property-Level Cash NOI - Estimated Run Rate, and Total Cash NOI - Estimated Run Rate

Property-Level NOI, Property-Level Cash NOI, Property-Level Cash NOI - Estimated Run Rate, and Total Cash NOI - Estimated Run Rate are non-GAAP financial measures which we use to assess our operating results. We compute Property-Level 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, loss on debt extinguishment, lease termination fees and other income (or expense). We further adjust Property-Level NOI for non-cash revenue components of straight-line rent and amortization of lease-intangibles to derive Property-Level Cash NOI. We further adjust Property-Level Cash NOI for intraquarter acquisitions, dispositions and completed development to derive Property-Level Cash NOI - Estimated Run Rate. We further adjust Property-Level Cash NOI - Estimated Run Rate for interest income on mortgage loans receivable and intraquarter mortgage loan activity to derive Total Cash NOI - Estimated Run Rate. We believe Property-Level NOI, Property-Level Cash NOI, Property-Level Cash NOI - Estimated Run Rate, and Total Cash NOI - Estimated Run Rate 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.

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

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Property-Level NOI, Property-Level Cash NOI, Property-Level Cash NOI - Estimated Run Rate, and Total Cash NOI - Estimated Run Rate for the periods presented (in thousands):

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 September 30, 2023, we had total indebtedness of approximately $175.0 million under the 2027 Term Loan, $200.0 million under the 2028 Term Loan, $150.0 million under the 2029 Term Loan, and $42.0 million of borrowings under the Revolver, all of which are floating rate debt with a variable interest rate. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had average daily outstanding borrowings on our Revolver of $12.8 million and $81.4 million, respectively.

Effective through the maturity dates of January 15, 2027, February 11, 2028, and January 3, 2029, respectively, we entered into interest rate derivative contracts in order to hedge our market interest risk associated with the 2027 Term Loan, 2028 Term Loan, and 2029 Term Loan, respectively. 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 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 Revolver during 2023, which assumes a 1% adverse change in the interest rate as of September 30, 2023, the estimated market risk exposure was approximately $0.8 million.
