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

Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business

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

The Company elected to be treated and to qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with its short taxable year ended December 31, 2019. Additionally, the Operating Partnership formed NETSTREIT Management TRS, LLC ("NETSTREIT TRS"), which together with the Company jointly elected to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary under Section 856(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code") for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The Company is structured as an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust (commonly referred to as an "UPREIT") and is an internally managed real estate company that acquires, owns, invests in and manages a diversified portfolio of single-tenant, retail commercial real estate leased on a long-term basis to high credit quality tenants across the United States. As of March 31, 2024, the Company owned or had investments in 628 properties, located in 45 states, excluding 16 property developments where rent has yet to commence.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

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

Interim Unaudited Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto on the Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, which provide a more complete understanding of the Company's accounting policies, financial position, operating results, business properties, and other matters. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company's most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the useful lives of real estate assets, lease accounting, real estate impairment assessments, and allocation of fair value of purchase consideration. These estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions which management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis and makes revisions to these estimates and related disclosures as experience develops or new information becomes known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Table of Contents
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 discount rates, 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 March 31,
2024 2023
Total provision for impairment $ 3,662 $ -
Number of properties: (1)
Classified as held for sale 4 -
Disposed within the period 2 -
(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 period. Of the total provision for impairment during the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded $0.3 million of additional impairment expense on two properties that were classified as held for sale in prior periods, and $2.2 million of impairment expense on four properties held for investment.

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 $0.7 million restricted cash as of March 31, 2024, and $11.5 million of restricted cash as of December 31, 2023.

The Company's bank balances as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 included certain amounts over the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits.

Fair Value Measurement

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

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

- Level 2 and Level 3 inputs for its debt and derivative financial instrument fair value disclosures. See "Note 6 - Debt" and "Note 7 - Derivative Financial Instruments," respectively; and

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

Table of Contents
Additionally, companies are required to disclose the estimated fair values of all financial instruments, even if they are not carried at their fair value. The fair values of financial instruments are estimates based on market conditions and perceived risks as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. These estimates require management's judgment and may not be indicative of the future fair values of the assets and liabilities.

The fair value of the Company's cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash (including money market accounts), other assets and accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their carrying value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Additionally, the Company believes the following financial instruments have carrying values that approximate their fair values as of March 31, 2024:

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.

Provisions for impairment recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024 partially related to assets held for sale where impairment was determined based on the estimated or negotiated selling price, less costs of disposal, compared to the carrying value of the property. Of the total provision for impairment during the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company also recorded $2.2 million of impairment expense on four properties held for investment. These properties were accounted for at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using a cash flow model (Level 3 inputs) with adjusted carrying values ranging from $0.6 million to $1.6 million. The Company estimated the fair value using capitalization rates ranging from 9.0% to 12.1% which it believes is reasonable based on current market rates. As of December 31, 2023, there were two real estate assets held for investment accounted for at fair value. Of these properties, one was accounted for at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using a cash flow model (Level 3 inputs) with an adjusted carrying value of $1.5 million.

The following table discloses estimated fair value information for the Company's 2027 Term Loan, 2028 Term Loan, and 2029 Term Loan (each as defined in "Note 6 - Debt") which is derived based primarily on unobservable market inputs such as interest rates and discounted cash flow analysis using estimates of the amount and timing of future cash flows, market rates and credit spreads (in thousands):

March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023
Carrying Value (1)
Estimated Fair Value
Carrying Value (1)
Estimated Fair Value
2027 Term Loan $ 174,155 $ 172,770 $ 174,037 $ 175,641
2028 Term Loan 199,066 198,101 199,006 201,396
2029 Term Loan 248,279 247,002 148,869 150,666
(1) The carrying value of the debt instruments are net of unamortized debt issuance and discount costs.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company is exposed to credit risk with respect to cash held at various financial institutions, access to its credit facilities, amounts due under mortgage loans receivable, and amounts due or payable under derivative contracts. The credit risk exposure with regard to the Company's cash, credit facilities, and derivative instruments is spread among a diversified group of investment grade financial institutions.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, one tenant, Dollar General, accounted for 10.43% of total revenues. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were no tenants or borrowers with rental revenue or interest income on loans receivable 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 onereportable segment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). ASU 2023-07 is intended to improve reportable segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis such as, annual and interim disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker, interim disclosure of a reportable segment's profit or loss and assets, and the requirement that a public entity that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by ASU 2023-07 and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 do not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The disclosures are applied retrospectively to all periods presented and early adoption is permitted. The Company has one reportable segment and continues to evaluate additional disclosures that may be required for entities with a single reportable segment.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 requires annual disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold within the rate reconciliation. In addition, the amendments require annual disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state and foreign jurisdictions as well as individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid is equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis, however early adoption and retrospective application is permitted. The Company continues to evaluate the potential impact of the guidance and potential additional disclosures required.

Note 3 - Leases

Tenant Leases

The Company acquires, owns and manages commercial single-tenant lease properties, with the majority being long-term triple-net leases where the tenant is generally responsible for all improvements and contractually obligated to pay all operating costs (such as real estate taxes, utilities and repairs and maintenance costs). As of March 31, 2024, exclusive of mortgage loans receivable, the Company's weighted average remaining lease term was 9.2 years.

The Company's property leases have been classified as operating leases and some have scheduled rent increases throughout the lease term. The Company's leases typically provide the tenant one or more multi-year renewal options to extend their leases, subject to generally the same terms and conditions, including rent increases, consistent with the initial lease term.

All lease-related income is reported as a single line item, rental revenue (including reimbursable), in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and is presented net of any reserves, write-offs, or recoveries for uncollectible amounts.

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.

(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 (loss).

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, term loans had a weighted average interest rate, exclusive of amortization of deferred financing costs and the effects of interest rate hedges, of 6.69% and 5.77%, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, 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 6.54% and 5.86%, 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 March 31, 2024 and expects to be in compliance for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2024.

Note 7 - Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses interest rate derivative contracts to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates on its variable rate debt. These derivatives are considered cash flow hedges and are recorded on a gross basis at fair value. Assessments of hedge effectiveness are performed quarterly using either a qualitative or quantitative approach. The Company recognizes the entire change in the fair value in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI") and the change is reflected as cash flow hedge changes in fair value in the supplemental disclosures of non-cash investing and financing activities in the 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 3.74% compared to the variable 2029 Term Loan daily SOFR rate as of March 31, 2024 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.

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 March 31, 2024 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.

Table of Contents
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 the 2027 Term Loan. 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. The interest rate on the variable 2027 Term Loan includes a daily SOFR rate as of March 31, 2024 of 5.31%, plus a SOFR adjustment of 0.10% and applicable margin of 1.15%.

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

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

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

The Company did not exclude any amounts from the assessment of hedge effectiveness for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $14.5 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense.

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

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

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of March 31, 2024, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The table below presents the Company's derivative assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall (in thousands):

ATM Program

On September 1, 2021, the Company entered into a $250.0 million at-the-market equity program (the "2021 ATM Program"). In March 2023, the Company issued 146,745 shares of common stock under the 2021 ATM Program at a weighted average price of $20.22 per share for net proceeds of approximately $2.9 million, net of sales commissions and offering costs of less than $0.1 million. The Company contributed the net proceeds to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 146,745 Class A OP Units.

On October 25, 2023, the Company entered into a $300.0 million at-the-market equity program (the "2023 ATM Program") through which, from time to time, it may sell shares of its common stock in registered transactions. Effective October 24, 2023, in connection with the establishment of the new at-the-market offering program, the 2021 ATM Program was terminated.

On March 28, 2024, the Company entered into a forward confirmation with respect to 107,500 shares of its common stock under the 2023 ATM Program, at a public offering price of $18.29 per share. 107,500 shares remain unsettled under the forward confirmation as of March 31, 2024. The Company may physically settle this forward confirmation (by the delivery of shares of common stock) and receive proceeds from the sale of those shares on one or more forward settlement dates, which shall occur no later than April 12, 2025.

The following table presents information about the 2023 ATM Program and the 2021 ATM Program (in thousands):

(2) 107,500 shares remain unsettled under the forward confirmation as of March 31, 2024 at the available net settlement price of $18.12.

January 2024 Follow-On Offering

In January 2024, the Company completed a registered public offering of 11,040,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $18.00 per share. In connection with the offering, the Company entered into forward sale agreements for 11,040,000 shares of its common stock. The Company did not initially receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock by the forward purchasers. The Company expects to physically settle the forward sale agreements (by delivery of shares of common stock) and receive proceeds from the sale of those shares upon one or more forward settlement dates, which shall occur no later than January 9, 2025. The Company may also elect to cash settle or net share settle all or a portion of its obligations under a forward sale agreement if it concludes it is in its best interest to do so. If the Company elects to cash settle a forward sale agreement, it may not receive any proceeds and it may owe cash to the relevant forward counterparty in certain circumstances. As of March 31, 2024, 11,040,000 shares remain unsettled under the January 2024 forward sale agreements.

Surrendered Shares on Vested Stock Unit Awards

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, portions of restricted stock unit awards ("RSUs") granted to certain of the Company's officers, directors, and employees vested. The vesting of these awards, granted pursuant to the NETSTREIT Corp. 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Omnibus Incentive Plan"), resulted in federal and state income tax liabilities for the recipients. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, as permitted by the terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan and the award grants, certain executive officers and employees elected to surrender an approximate total of 62 thousand and 18 thousand RSUs, respectively, valued at approximately $1.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, solely to pay the associated statutory tax withholding. The surrendered RSUs are included in the row entitled "repurchase of common stock for tax withholding obligations" in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests represent noncontrolling holders of OP Units in the Operating Partnership. OP Units are convertible into common stock as the OP Units may be redeemed for cash or, at the Company's election, exchanged for shares of the Company's common stock on a one-for-one basis. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, noncontrolling interests represented 0.6% and 0.7%, respectively, of OP Units. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, OP Unit holders redeemed 7,119 and 5,694 and OP units, respectively, into shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis.

Note 10 - Stock-Based Compensation

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

As of March 31, 2024, 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 (loss) was $1.8 million and $1.0 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. All awards of unvested restricted stock units are expected to fully vest over the next oneto 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 resale 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 are expected to fully vest during the current year.

Table of Contents
The following table summarizes performance-based RSU activity for the period ended March 31, 2024:

Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share
Unvested RSU grants outstanding as of December 31, 2023 30,379 $ 19.75
Granted during the period - -
Forfeited during the period - -
Vested during the period - -
Unvested RSU grants outstanding as of March 31, 2024 30,379 $ 19.75

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized less than $0.1 million in stock-based compensation expense associated with performance-based RSUs. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the remaining unamortized stock-based compensation expense totaled $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and as of March 31, 2024, these awards are expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 0.7 years. These units are subject to graded vesting and stock-based compensation expense is recognized ratably over the requisite service period for each vesting tranche in the award.

The grant date fair value of unvested RSUs is calculated as the per share price in the private offering that closed on December 23, 2019.

Service-Based RSUs

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

The following table summarizes service-based RSU activity for the period ended March 31, 2024:

Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share
Unvested RSU grants outstanding as of December 31, 2023 298,108 $ 19.79
Granted during the period 200,140 17.33

Unvested RSU grants outstanding as of March 31, 2024 368,028 $ 18.50

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized $1.0 million in stock-based compensation expense associated with service-based RSUs. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the remaining unamortized stock-based compensation expense totaled $5.4 million and $3.4 million, respectively, and as of March 31, 2024, these awards are expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 2.2 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.

Table of Contents
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 February 28, 2025, February 28, 2026, and December 31, 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 24.9% and expected volatility of the Company's peers, ranging from 19.9% to 49.4%, with an average volatility of 27.1% and a risk-free interest rate of 4.41%. The fair value per share on the grant date specific to the target TSR relative to the Company's peers was $18.03 and the target absolute TSR was $14.56 for a weighted average grant date fair value of $15.77 per share. Stock-based compensation expense associated with unvested market-based share awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum required service period, which is three years.

The following table summarizes market-based RSU activity for the period ended March 31, 2024:

Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share
Unvested RSU grants outstanding as of December 31, 2023 258,558 $ 20.38
Granted during the period 169,002 16.05
Forfeited during the period (69,959) 16.92
Vested during the period
(45,977) 20.29
Unvested RSU grants outstanding as of March 31, 2024 311,624 $ 18.82

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized $0.6 million in stock-based compensation expense associated with market-based RSUs. As of March 31, 2024, the remaining unamortized stock-based compensation expense totaled $4.0 million and as of March 31, 2024, these awards are expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 2.4 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 RSUs in the first quarter of the following year, that vests from oneto fouryears based on the terms of the grant agreement. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the total requisite service period for the entire award, which begins in the period 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 2024 under the Program was approximately $1.7 million. The award will be remeasured to fair value each reporting period until the unvested RSUs are granted. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, 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.

Revolver Activity

In April 2024, the Company paid $12.0 million, net of borrowings, on the 2026 Revolver.

2023 ATM Program

In April 2024, the Company entered into forward sale agreements with respect to an aggregate 1,635,600 shares of its common stock under the 2023 ATM Program at a weighted average price of $17.63 per share. The Company did not initially receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock by the forward purchaser. The Company expects to physically settle the forward sale agreements (by delivery of shares of common stock) and receive proceeds from the sale of those shares upon one or more forward settlement dates, which shall occur no later than April 12, 2025. The Company may also elect to cash settle or net share settle all or a portion of its obligations under a forward sale agreement if it concludes it is in its best interest to do so. If the Company elects to cash settle a forward sale agreement, it may not receive any proceeds and it may owe cash to the relevant forward counterparty in certain circumstances. No physical settlement has occurred through the date on which these consolidated financial statements were issued.

Business Overview

We are an internally managed real estate company that acquires, owns, invests in 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. As of March 31, 2024, we owned or had investments in 628 single-tenant retail net leased properties that were diversified by tenant, industry and geography, including 88 different tenants, across 26 retail sectors in 45 states. This excludes 16 property developments where rent has yet to commence. We focus on tenants in industries where a physical location is critical to the generation of sales and profits, with a focus on necessity goods and essential services in the retail sector, including home improvement, auto parts, drug stores and pharmacies, general retail, grocers, convenience stores, discount stores, and quick-service restaurants, all of which we refer to as defensive retail industries. As of March 31, 2024, our investments generated ABR1of $140.3 million. Approximately 71% of our ABR is from investment grade2credit rated tenants and an additional 13% 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 9.2 years, which we believe provides us with a strong stable source of recurring cash flow from our portfolio.

January Follow-On Offering

In January 2024, we completed a registered public offering of 11,040,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $18.00 per share. In connection with the offering, we entered into forward sale agreements for 11,040,000 shares of our common stock. We did not initially receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock by the forward purchasers. We expect to physically settle the forward sale agreements (by delivery of shares of common stock) and receive proceeds from the sale of those shares upon one or more forward settlement dates, which shall occur no later than January 9, 2025. We may also elect to cash settle or net share settle all or a portion of our obligations under a forward sale agreement if we conclude it is in our best interest to do so. If we elect to cash settle a forward sale agreement, we may not receive any proceeds and we may owe cash to the relevant counterparty in certain circumstances. No physical settlement has occurred under the January 2024 forward sale agreements through March 31, 2024.

2023 ATM Program

On October 25, 2023, we entered into a $300.0 million at-the-market equity program (the "2023 ATM Program") through which, from time to time, we may sell shares of our common stock in registered transactions. On March 28, 2024, we entered into a forward sale agreement for 107,500 shares of our common stock under the 2023 ATM Program at a public offering price of $18.29 per share. As of March 31, 2024, we had $222.7 million in remaining gross proceeds available for future issuances of shares of our common stock under the 2023 ATM Program, inclusive of unsettled shares under forward confirmation.

2029 Term Loan

On July 3, 2023, we 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 our request. We drew an additional $100.0 million under the 2029 Term Loan on March 1, 2024.

We have 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" in "Item 1 - Financial Statements (unaudited)."


(1) Annualized base rent ("ABR") is annualized base rent as of March 31, 2024, 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.

Results of Operations

Overall

We continued to grow our assets during the first quarter of 2024 through the acquisition of properties, property developments, and investment in mortgage loans receivable. This growth was financed through a $100.0 million draw on our 2029 Term Loan, the usage of existing cash balances as a result of borrowings on our Revolver, the usage of existing restricted cash balances as a result of tax-free exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and cash flows from operations during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Acquisitions

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we acquired 28 properties for a total purchase price of $95.2 million, inclusive of $1.2 million of capitalized acquisition costs. The acquisitions were all accounted for as asset acquisitions. These properties are located in 16 states with a WALT of approximately 10.6 years. The underwritten weighted-average capitalization rate on our year to date acquisitions was approximately 7.3%.

Development

As of March 31, 2024, we had 13 property developments under construction. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we invested $11.0 million in property developments, including the land acquisition of two new developments with a combined initial purchase price of $0.8 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we completed development on seven projects and reclassified approximately $18.4 million from property under development to land, buildings and improvements, and other assets (leasing commissions) in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Rent commenced for four of the seven completed developments in the first quarter of 2024, while rent is expected to commence for the other three completed developments in the second quarter of 2024. The remaining 13 developments are expected to be substantially completed with rent commencing at various points throughout 2024. The purchase price, including acquisition costs, and subsequent development are included in property under development in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024.

Dispositions

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we sold 12 properties for a total sales price, net of disposal costs, of $20.5 million, recognizing a net loss of $1.0 million.

Investment in Mortgage Loans Receivable

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we invested an additional $10.2 million in fully collateralized mortgage loans receivable with stated interest rates of 10.25%. The mortgage loans receivable are collateralized by real estate, primarily leased by investment grade credit rated tenants. The funds provided under the loans, in addition to loan origination costs, net of loan origination fees of less than $0.1 million, are included in mortgage loans receivable, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024. See "Note 4 - Real Estate Investments" in "Item 1 - Financial Statements (unaudited)" for further discussion on our mortgage loans receivable portfolio.

Economic and Financial Environment

The average inflation rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 3.5% as compared to 5.0% for the prior year period. While the Federal Reserve had been raising interest rates in an effort to lower inflation throughout 2022 and the first half of 2023, there continues to be uncertainty entering into 2024 as to whether rates will be maintained or potentially cut, and the timing of potential cuts, leading to uncertainties in the financing market and a volatile economy.

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

Revenue.Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased by $8.2 million to $37.7 million from $29.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 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 $6.9 million, combined with net increases of property expense reimbursements of $0.1 million, an increase of $1.5 million related to interest income on mortgage loans receivable, and an increase in straight-line rental revenue of $0.2 million. The increase in revenue is offset by a $0.2 million decrease in above/below market lease adjustments and a $0.3 million decrease related to prior year recoveries.

Total Operating Expenses.Total expenses increased by $7.2 million to $31.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $23.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. 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 and severance costs. Total operating expenses include the following:

Property Expenses. Property expenses increased $0.2 million to $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase is primarily attributed to the increase in the number of operating properties, including combined net increases of reimbursable property expenses, including $0.3 million of reimbursable property taxes, offset by a decrease of $0.3 million of reimbursable common area maintenance costs. Additionally, non-reimbursable expenses increased by $0.1 million, primarily consisting of roof repairs.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $0.8 million to $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase is primarily due to an increase in employee severance of $0.8 million, including cash severance of $0.5 million and the expense associated with the accelerated vesting of stock-based compensation of $0.3 million, an increase of $0.4 million of stock-based compensation, offset by a decrease of $0.2 million of payroll expenses, and other combined net decreases of $0.2 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.

Table of Contents
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.6 million to $17.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $14.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. 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 $1.7 million, building improvements depreciation expense of $0.5 million, in-place lease amortization expense of $0.2 million, and leasing commissions amortization expense of $0.2 million.

Provisions for impairment.For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded provisions for impairment of $3.7 million on 12 properties, the majority of which were either previously classified as held-for-sale, newly classified as held-for-sale or disposed of during three months ended March 31, 2024. Four of the properties are held for investment as of the three months ended March 31, 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded no provisions for impairment. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, 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.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $2.3 million to $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase is primarily attributed to an increase of $2.3 million of interest incurred under the 2029 Term Loan executed on July 3, 2023, an increase of $0.8 million of interest incurred under the 2027 Term Loan (amendment and restatement of the 2024 Term Loan on June 15, 2023), offset by a net decrease of less than $0.1 million under the Revolver as a result of a decrease in average borrowings outstanding which was offset by higher interest rates. An additional increase of $0.3 million was attributable to increased loan fee amortization. This is offset by $1.0 million in amortization of deferred gains on interest rate swaps and $0.2 million of increased capitalized interest on our property developments.

Gain (loss) on sales of real estate, net. Net gain on sales of real estate increased by $1.3 million to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from a $0.3 million net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The table below summarizes the properties sold for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Three Months Ended

2024 2023
Number of properties sold 12 8
Sales price, net of disposal costs $ 20,466 $ 15,463
Gain (loss) on sales of real estate, net $ 997 $ (319)

Other (expense) income, net.Other (expense) income, net decreased by $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to a $0.4 million loss recorded on one property as a result of foundation issues in 2024.

Net income.Net income decreased $0.4 million to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Net income decreased primarily due to increases in provisions for impairment, interest expense, and depreciation and amortization expense, offset by increases in gains on sales of real estate and additional rental revenues primarily due to the growth in the size of our real estate investment portfolio, including interest income associated with our mortgage loans receivable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary capital requirements are to fund property acquisitions and developments, fund investments in mortgage loans receivable and required interest payments, and fund 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 March 31, 2024, we had $175.0 million outstanding principal amount under the senior unsecured term loan (the "2027 Term Loan"), $200.0 million outstanding principal amount under the senior unsecured term loan (the "2028 Term Loan"), $250.0 million outstanding principal amount under the 2029 Term Loan, and $75.0 million of borrowings outstanding under our $400.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Revolver"). Additionally, as of March 31, 2024, we had $98.5 million and $1.9 million of unsettled forward equity under the 2021 ATM Program and 2023 ATM Program, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, $222.7 million of remaining gross proceeds were available for future issuances of shares of our common stock under the 2023 ATM Program, inclusive of unsettled shares under forward confirmation. Lastly, we had $190.5 million of unsettled forward equity under the January 2024 forward sale agreements as of March 31, 2024.

Table of Contents

We believe the availability of proceeds from the settlement of unsettled outstanding forward confirmations, future issuances of shares of our common stock under the 2023 ATM Program or subsequent at-the-market sale programs, as well as our cash flows from operations and available borrowing capacity under the Revolver, will be adequate to support our ongoing operations and to fund our debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. We anticipate funding our long-term capital needs through cash provided from operations, borrowings under our Revolver, and issuances of common stock.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

As of March 31, 2024, 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 three months ended March 31, 2024, we borrowed $82.0 million at a weighted average interest rate of 6.54% and also repaid $87.0 million on our revolving credit facilities.

The following table provides information with respect to our commitments as of March 31, 2024 (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 reset effective November 27, 2023 to 1.87% and will reset 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 rate of 1.87% through December 23, 2024, and 2.40% thereafter, compared to the variable 2027 Term Loan daily SOFR rate as of March 31, 2024 of 5.31%, 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 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 March 31, 2024 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.
(3) 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 3.74% compared to the variable 2029 Term Loan daily SOFR rate as of March 31, 2024 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.
(4) We are subject to a facility fee of 0.15% on our Revolver.

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 8.3 years that expires on July 31, 2032 and is renewable at our option for two additional periods of five years. Annual rent expense, excluding operating expenses, is approximately $0.5 million during the initial term.

Table of Contents

Additionally, in the normal course of business, we enter into various types of commitments to purchase real estate properties, fund development projects, or extend funds under mortgage notes receivable. 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 to purchase or extend funding. As of March 31, 2024, we had commitments to fund properties under development and extend funds under mortgage notes receivable totaling $25.0 million and $12.4 million, respectively, all of which is expected to be funded throughout 2024.

2024 2023
(In thousands) (Unaudited)
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities $ 11,651 $ 14,806
Investing activities (97,202) (102,412)
Financing activities 77,956 23,659

Cash Flows Provided By Operating Activities.Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was largely attributed to the timing of corporate and property related vendor payments and changes to other working capital accounts, including the payment of our annual insurance policies, payments of employee severance and bonus, and increased interest payments along with other net increases in operating and general and administrative expenses associated with our larger portfolio. This was offset by an increase in rental receipts of $6.9 million and an increase in mortgage loan receivable interest of $1.5 million.

Cash Flows Used In Investing Activities.Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in cash spent on investments in mortgage loans receivable of $35.7 million and $1.8 million less in earnest money deposits made, offset by increases in cash spent on acquisitions of real estate and real estate developments and improvements of $27.5 million and $9.8 million, respectively. The remaining decrease is primarily related to proceeds from the sale of real estate, which increased $5.0 million compared to the prior period.

Cash Flows Provided By Financing Activities.Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $54.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily attributed to a $100.0 million draw on our 2029 Term Loan during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and an increase in net borrowings of $12.0 million under our Revolver. The increase was offset by a decrease of $52.9 million from the issuance of our common stock, further offset by an increase in payments of common stock dividends of $3.3 million and increases in the repurchase of common stock for tax withholding obligations of $0.7 million.

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 2024 to receive a full dividends paid deduction.

Table of Contents
We maintain a taxable REIT subsidiary ("TRS") which may be subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes on its taxable income. In general, our TRS may perform services for tenants of the Company, hold assets that the Company cannot hold directly and may engage in any real estate or non-real estate-related business.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

A discussion of recent accounting pronouncements and their possible effects on our condensed consolidated financial statements is included in "Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in "Item 1 - Financial Statements (unaudited)."

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, 2023, 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, Adjusted 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.

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, other loss (gain), net, 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.

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

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 EBITDArein accordance with the definition adopted by NAREIT. NAREIT defines EBITDAreas EBITDA (as defined above) excluding gains (or losses) from the sales of depreciable property and impairment charges on depreciable real property.

Adjusted EBITDAreis a non-GAAP financial measure defined as EBITDArefurther 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, other loss (gain), net, other non-recurring expenses (income), lease termination fees, adjustment for construction in process, and adjustment for intraquarter activities. Annualized Adjusted EBITDAreis Adjusted EBITDAremultiplied by four.

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

EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAreand Annualized Adjusted EBITDAredo 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 EBITDAreand Annualized Adjusted EBITDAremay 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.

Net Debt and Adjusted Net Debt

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 net value of unsettled forward equity as of period end to derive Adjusted Net Debt. We believe excluding cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash available for future investment from our principal amount in addition to excluding the net value of unsettled 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.

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 expense (income), net. 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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our future income, cash flows and fair value relevant to our financial instruments depend upon prevailing market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Based upon the nature of our operations, the principal market risk to which we are exposed is the risk related to interest rate fluctuations. As of March 31, 2024, we had total indebtedness of approximately $175.0 million under the 2027 Term Loan, $200.0 million under the 2028 Term Loan, $250.0 million under the 2029 Term Loan, and $75.0 million of borrowings under the Revolver, all of which are floating rate debt with a variable interest rate. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we had average daily outstanding borrowings on our Revolver of $59.6 million.
Effective through the maturity dates of January 15, 2027, February 11, 2028, and January 3, 2029, 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 2024, which assumes a 1% adverse change in the interest rate as of March 31, 2024, the estimated market risk exposure was approximately $0.6 million.
