(For the 3 months ended March 31, 2022)

Commenting on the quarter, CEO David Sobelman stated, “With market dynamics top of mind, we remain committed to strengthening our balance sheet, demonstrated through our recent long term fixed-rate debt refinance, as well as prudent capital allocation. We are hyper-focused on identifying the most accretive opportunities with investment-grade tenants consistent with our current portfolio of tenants that we believe continues to prove its resiliency during economic headwinds.”

Core FFO and Core AFFO are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures used in the real estate industry to measure and compare the operating performance of real estate companies. A complete reconciliation containing adjustments from GAAP net income to Core FFO and Core AFFO are included at the end of this release.

Portfolio (as of March 31, 2022, unless otherwise stated)

• Approximately 85% of our portfolio’s annualized base rent as of March 31, 2022, was derived from tenants that have (or whose parent company has) an investment-grade credit rating from a recognized credit rating agency of “BBB-” or better. Our largest tenants are the General Service Administration, Kohl’s, and PRA Group, all who have, or the parent entity has, a ‘BB+’ credit rating or better from S&P Global Ratings and contributed approximately 52% of our portfolio’s annualized base rent

• The Company’s portfolio is 100% leased and occupied and rent paying and has been since our inception.

• Approximately 92% of our portfolio’s annualized base rent in our current portfolio provide for increases in contractual base rent during future years of the current term or during the lease extension periods.

• The average annualized base rent (ABR) per square foot at the end of the quarter was $15.45.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

• $4.6 million in total cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022.

• Total debt, net was $35.0 million as of March 31, 2022.

Financial Results

• Total revenue from operations was $1.2 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $937 thousand for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021. This represents a year-over-year increase of 26% driven primarily by the acquisition of properties.

• Operating expenses, including G&A, for the same periods were $1.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively. These changes in operating expenses were driven primarily by an increase in legal expenses, audit fees and insurance, partially offset by a decrease in other professional fees.

• During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we incurred interest expense and the amortization of debt issuance costs of $330 thousand and $355 thousand, respectively.

Notice Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our reported results and net earnings per diluted share, which are financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release contains and may refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Funds from Operations ("FFO"), Core Funds From Operations ("Core FFO"), Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”), Core Adjusted Funds from Operations ("Core AFFO"), or Net Operating Income (“NOI”). We believe the use of Core FFO and Core AFFO are useful to investors because they are widely accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs. FFO and related measures including NOI should not be considered alternatives to net income as a performance measure or to cash flows from operations, as reported on our statement of cash flows, or as a liquidity measure, and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures. You should not consider our Core FFO or Core AFFO as an alternative to net income or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Our conciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure and statements of why management believes these measures are useful to investors are included below.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

The following tables reconcile net income (net loss), which we believe is the most comparable GAAP measure, to FFO, Core FFO, AFFO, and Core AFFO:

Our reported results are presented in accordance with GAAP. We also disclose funds from operations (FFO), adjusted funds from operations (AFFO), core funds from operations (Core FFO) and core adjusted funds of operations (Core AFFO) all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they are widely accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs.

FFO and related measures do not represent cash generated from operating activities and 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 reported on our statement of cash flows as a liquidity measure and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures.

We compute FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts or NAREIT. NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude extraordinary items (as defined by GAAP), net gain or loss from sales of depreciable real estate assets, impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate assets, and real estate related depreciation and amortization, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries. We then adjust FFO for non-cash revenues and expenses such as amortization of deferred financing costs, above and below market lease intangible amortization, straight line rent, non-cash stock compensation, public company consulting fees, and non-recurring litigation expenses and settlements to calculate Core AFFO.

FFO is used by management, investors, and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers primarily because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. We believe that AFFO is an additional useful supplemental measure for investors to consider because it will help them to better assess our operating performance without the distortions created by other non-cash revenues or expenses. FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. We believe that Core FFO and Core AFFO are useful measures for management and investors because they further remove the effect of non-cash expenses and certain other expenses that are not directly related to real estate operations. We use each as measures of our performance when we formulate corporate goals.

Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions that are available for distribution to stockholders and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses and interest costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income. In addition, our management team believes that FFO provides useful information to the investment community about our financial performance when compared to other REITs since FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs. However, FFO should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our operating performance since it does not reflect either depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties which could be significant economic costs and could materially impact our results from operations. Additionally, FFO does it reflect distributions paid to redeemable non-controlling interests.
