Key Takeaways • Our portfolio of grocery-anchored shopping centers continues to produce positive operating and financial results as illustrated by our second quarter results • The merger with PECO is an important step toward a full-cycle liquidity event, with many benefits for both PECO and REIT II shareholders • Management will be the combined company’s largest shareholder – owning approximately 7.3%, or $262 million – aligning management and shareholder interests • Our management and board of directors are continually evaluating our liquidity options. We believe that a patient approach is prudent in order to successfully complete a full-cycle liquidity event at an attractive price www.grocerycenterREIT2.com/investors 14

Appendix


 
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financials We present Same-Center Net Operating Income (“Same-Center NOI”) as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Net Operating Income (“NOI”) as total operating revenues less property operating expenses, real estate taxes, and non-cash revenue items. Same-Center NOI represents the NOI for the 74 properties that were operational for the entire portion of both comparable reporting periods and that were not acquired during or subsequent to the comparable reporting periods. We believe that NOI and Same-Center NOI provide useful information to our investors about our financial and operating performance because each provides a performance measure of the revenues and expenses directly involved in owning and operating real estate assets and provides a perspective not immediately apparent from net income. Because Same-Center NOI excludes the change in NOI from properties acquired after December 31, 2016, it highlights operating trends such as occupancy levels, rental rates, and operating costs on properties that were operational for both comparable periods. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Same-Center NOI, and accordingly, our Same-Center NOI may not be comparable to other REITs. Same-Center NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance since it does not reflect the operations of our entire portfolio, nor does it reflect the impact of general and administrative expenses, acquisition expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, other income, or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties that could materially impact our results from operations. The table below is a comparison of Same-Center NOI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, and 2017: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (in 000s) 2018 2017 $ Change % Change 2018 2017 $ Change % Change Revenues: Rental income(1) $ 27,202 $ 26,657 $ 545 $ 54,262 $ 52,981 $ 1,281 Tenant recovery income 9,751 9,727 24 20,313 19,799 514 Other property income 163 237 (74) 404 328 76 37,116 36,621 495 1.4% 74,979 73,108 1,871 2.6% Operating expenses: Property operating expenses 6,145 5,802 343 12,680 12,198 482 Real estate taxes 6,109 6,233 (124) 12,210 12,250 (40) 12,254 12,035 219 1.8% 24,890 24,448 442 1.8% Total Same-Center NOI $ 24,862 $ 24,586 $ 276 1.1% $ 50,089 $ 48,660 $ 1,429 2.9% (1) Excludes straight-line rental income, the net amortization of above- and below-market leases, and lease buyout income www.grocerycenterREIT2.com/investors 18

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financials Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations Funds from operations (“FFO”) is a non-GAAP performance financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance. We use FFO as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) to be net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. Modified funds from operations (“MFFO”) is an additional performance financial measure used by us as FFO includes certain non-comparable items that affect our performance over time. MFFO excludes the following items: • acquisition and transaction expenses; • straight-line rent amounts, both income and expense; • amortization of above- or below-market intangible lease assets and liabilities; • amortization of discounts and premiums on debt investments; • gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt; • gains or losses on the extinguishment of derivatives, except where the trading of such instruments is a fundamental attribute of our operations; • gains or losses related to fair-value adjustments for derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting; • gains or losses related to consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting; and • adjustments related to the above items for unconsolidated entities in the application of equity accounting. We believe that MFFO is helpful in assisting management and investors with the assessment of the sustainability of operating performance in future periods. Neither FFO nor MFFO should be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations under GAAP, nor as an indication of our liquidity, nor is either of these measures indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to fund distributions. MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate our business plan in the manner currently contemplated. Accordingly, FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements. FFO and MFFO should not be viewed as more prominent measures of performance than our net income or cash flows from operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our FFO and MFFO as presented may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other REITs. The following section presents our calculation of FFO and MFFO and provides additional information related to our operations. As a result of the timing of the commencement of our initial public offering and our active real estate acquisitions, FFO and MFFO are not relevant to a discussion comparing operations for the periods presented. We expect revenues and expenses to increase in future periods as we acquire additional investments. www.grocerycenterREIT2.com/investors 20
