STORE Overview STORE is Single Tenant Operational Real Estate The leader in middle market net-lease solutions: S T O R E is the nation’s only REIT dedicated to profit center real estate investment, with a focus on middle market and larger companies. A $2.5 trillion market for single-tenant “profit center” real estate: We have a $7.7 billion pipeline1 of potential targeted investments. One of the fastest growing net-lease REITs in the US: We have invested more than $4.8 billion since our organization in 2011 with current annualized base rent and interest of over $395 million. High quality portfolio subject to long-term leases: S T O R E believes that, on average, approximately 75% of contracts are equivalent to investment grade (internal S T O R E rating of Baa3 or above). Efficient capital structure: We are one of very few REITs to have both an A+ rated debt conduit and corporate investment-grade credit ratings.

Portfolio Contract Quality Expected default frequency & STORE score equivalent Ratings Data as of September 30, 2016. We measure the credit quality of our portfolio on a contract-by-contract basis using the STORE Score, which is a risk measure reflective of both the credit risk of our tenants and the profitability of the operations at our properties. The STORE Score is a quantitative measurement of contract risk computed by multiplying tenant default probabilities (using Moody’s RiskCalc) and estimated store closure probabilities (using a simple algorithm we developed that has closure probabilities ranging from 100% to 10%, depending on unit-level profitability). Qualitative features can also impact investment risk, such as low property investment amounts, favorable tenant debt capital stacks, the presence of third party guarantors, or other factors. Such qualitative factors may serve to further mitigate investment risk. We have maintained lease contract quality, averaging approximately 75% investment-grade.

The past performance of these investment vehicles is not an indicator of S T O R E’s future performance, and S T O R E’s performance may be significantly less favorable than the past performance data included in this presentation. Moreover, some of the past performance data covers periods with economic characteristics and cycles and interest rate environments that are significantly different from those S T O R E faces today and may face in the future.
Appendix
Definitions and Footnotes 1 Weighted average annual lease escalation represents the weighted average annual escalation rate of the entire portfolio as if all escalations occurred annually. For escalations based on a formula including CPI, assumes the stated fixed percentage in the contract or assumes 1.5% if no fixed percentage is in the contract. For contracts with no escalations remaining in the current lease term, assumes the escalation in the extension term. Calculation excludes contracts representing less than 0.3% of annualized base rent and interest where there are no further escalations remaining in the current lease term and there are no extension options. 2 S T O R E defines occupancy as a property being subject to a lease or loan contract. 3 The number of properties not currently operating but subject to a lease represents the number of our investment locations that have been closed by the tenant but remain subject to a lease. 4 The percentage of investment portfolio subject to master leases represents the percentage of the investment portfolio in multiple properties with a single customer subject to master leases. Based on annualized base rent and interest, 81% of the investment portfolio involves multiple properties with a single customer, whether or not subject to a master lease. 5 The average investment amount/replacement cost (new) represents the ratio of purchase price to replacement cost (new) at acquisition. 6 S T O R E calculates unit fixed charge coverage ratio generally as the ratio of (i) the unit’s EBITDAR, less a standardized corporate overhead expense based on estimated industry standards, to (ii) the unit’s total fixed charges, which are its lease expense, interest expense and scheduled principal payments on indebtedness. The 4-Wall coverage ratio refers to a unit’s FCCR before taking into account standardized corporate overhead expense. 7 The proportion of investment contracts rated investment grade represents the percentage of our contracts that have a STORE Score that is investment grade. We measure the credit quality of our portfolio on a contract-by-contract basis using the STORE Score, which is a risk measure reflective of both the credit risk of our tenants and the profitability of the operations at the properties. See Slide 10
Supplemental Reporting Measures Funds from Operations, or FFO, and Adjusted Funds from Operations, or AFFO Our reported results are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. We also disclose Funds from Operations, or FFO, and Adjusted Funds from Operations, or AFFO, both of which are non-GAAP measures. We believe these two 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 AFFO 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 to cash flows from operations as reported on a 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, excluding gains (or losses) from extraordinary items and sales of depreciable property, real estate impairment losses and depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries. To derive AFFO, we modify the NAREIT computation of FFO to include other adjustments to GAAP net income related to certain non-cash revenues and expenses such as straight-line rents, amortization of deferred financing costs and stock-based compensation. In addition, in deriving AFFO, we exclude transaction costs associated with acquiring real estate subject to existing leases and certain other expenses not related to our ongoing operations. 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. Management believes that AFFO provides more useful information to investors and analysts because it modifies FFO to exclude certain additional non-cash revenues and expenses such as straight-line rents, amortization of deferred financing costs and stock-based compensation as such items may cause short-term fluctuations in net income but have no impact on operating cash flows or long-term operating performance. Additionally, in deriving AFFO, we exclude transaction costs associated with acquiring real estate subject to existing leases. We view transaction costs to be a part of our investment in the real estate we acquire, similar to the treatment of acquisition and closing costs on our sale-leaseback transactions, which are capitalized as a part of the investment in the asset. We believe that transaction costs are not an ongoing cost of the portfolio in place at the end of each reporting period and, for these reasons, we add back the portion expensed when computing AFFO. Similarly, in 2016 we excluded the offering expenses incurred on behalf of our selling stockholder, STORE Holding, when it exited all of its holdings of STORE Capital common stock, as those costs are not related to our ongoing operations. As a result, we believe AFFO to be a more meaningful measurement of ongoing performance that allows for greater performance comparability. Therefore, we disclose both FFO and AFFO and reconcile them to the most appropriate GAAP performance metric, which is net income. STORE Capital’s FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
Supplemental Reporting Measures (Continued) EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Annualized Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Debt EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA modified to include other adjustments to GAAP net income for transaction costs, non-cash impairment charges and gains/losses on dispositions of real estate and certain other expenses not related to ongoing operations. Annualized Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by multiplying Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter by four. Annualized Adjusted EBITDA – Current Estimated Run Rate is calculated based on an estimated Adjusted EBITDA as if all leases and loans in place as of September 30, 2016 had been in place as of July 1, 2016; then annualizing the Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter by multiplying it by four. You should not unduly rely on this metric as it is based on several assumptions and estimates that may prove to be inaccurate. Our actual reported Adjusted EBITDA for future periods may be significantly less than that implied by our reported Annualized Adjusted EBITDA – Current Estimated Run Rate for a variety of reasons. Adjusted Debt represents our outstanding debt obligations excluding unamortized deferred financing costs and net debt premium, further reduced for cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash deposits held for the benefit of lenders. We believe excluding unamortized deferred financing costs and net debt premium, cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash deposits held for the benefit of lenders provides an estimate of the net contractual amount of borrowed capital to be repaid which we believe is a beneficial disclosure to investors and analysts. Adjusted Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDA, or leverage, is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure we use to evaluate the level of borrowed capital being used to increase the potential return of our real estate investments. We calculate leverage by dividing Adjusted Debt by Annualized Adjusted EBITDA. Because our portfolio growth level is significant to the overall size of the Company, we believe that presenting this leverage metric on a run rate basis is more meaningful than presenting the metric for the historical quarterly period, and we refer to this metric as Adjusted Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDA—Current Estimated Run Rate. Leverage should be considered as a supplemental measure of the level of risk to which stockholder value may be exposed.
