CAPITAL MARKETS AND BALANCE SHEET

The following tables summarize the Company's balance sheet, liquidity, ATM issuances, and settlement of our forward equity offerings (dollars in thousands, except per share data) as of and for December 31, 2023.

2023 GUIDANCE

The Company is reaffirming its full year 2023 AFFO per share guidance range of $1.21 to $1.23.

2024 GUIDANCE

The Company is providing its initial full year 2024 AFFO per share guidance in the range of $1.24 to $1.28 per share. The Company also expects cash G&A to be in the range of $13.5 million to $14.5 million (exclusive of transaction costs).

AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of such forward-looking non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP because to do so would be potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting event driven transactional and other non-core operating items in any future period. The magnitude of these items, however, may be significant.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release contains guidance about our 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 funds from operations (“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, 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.

We further consider AFFO to be useful in determining funds available for payment of distributions. AFFO does not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP. You should not consider AFFO to be an alternative to net income as a reliable measure of our operating performance nor should you consider AFFO to be an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities (as defined by GAAP) as measures of liquidity.

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