Exhibit 99.1

JERNIGAN CAPITAL ANNOUNCES $0.29 EARNINGS PER SHARE AND

$0.35 ADJUSTED EARNINGS PER SHARE FOR THIRD QUARTER 2017

MEMPHIS, Tennessee, November 1, 2017 / Business Wire / Jernigan Capital, Inc. (NYSE: JCAP), a leading capital partner for self-storage entrepreneurs nationwide, today announced results for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, and provided fourth quarter and updated full-year 2017 guidance along with preliminary expectations for 2018.

Highlights for the quarter include:

▪ Reported earnings per share and adjusted earnings per share of $0.29 and $0.35, respectively;

▪ Closed $70.5 million of new on-balance sheet development investments through quarter end ($330.3 million year-to-date through November 1, 2017);

▪ Acquired 100% of developer’s interests in self-storage facility in Orlando MSA;

▪ Achieved certificates of occupancy for five new self-storage facilities and stabilized physical occupancy at greater than 85% at two facilities; and

▪ Obtained $100 million revolving credit facility with an accordion feature permitting expansion up to $200 million.

“We are very pleased with our third quarter and our performance through the first nine months of the year,” Dean Jernigan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Jernigan Capital, Inc. stated. “Our developers continue to find compelling self-storage sites notwithstanding fears of new supply, and our projects that have opened for business continue to track at or above our underwritten performance. In addition, we experienced several milestones this quarter: two self-storage facilities reached underwritten stabilized occupancy levels more than eighteen months ahead of schedule; we purchased our developer partner’s interests in the Ocoee, Florida facility, resulting in our outright ownership of a developed self-storage facility for the first time; four of the 11 facilities in our Heitman joint venture opened for business and have shown strong leasing trends since opening; and we completed an exhaustive study in conjunction with independent third party experts on new supply that we believe provides compelling facts that dispel the supply misperceptions that have pervaded our sector for several quarters. These milestones and strong quarterly results are the direct result of the hard work and dedication of the JCAP team and our development partners, and we are very excited about the growth of the business as we close out 2017 and look ahead to 2018.”

John Good, President and Chief Operating Officer of Jernigan Capital added, “We delivered exceptional growth this quarter, with total revenues and operating income increasing nearly 98% and 486%, respectively, over the third quarter of 2016. These results highlight the effectiveness of our business model and the scalability of our platform. We expect to exceed our initial investment closings guidance of $375 million for 2017.We are currently rolling out a new bridge loan product that we believe will drive significant incremental growth and profitability for the Company and provide us with a pipeline of additional off-market opportunities to acquire well-located latest generation self-storage facilities. This new product will leverage our expertise gained through reviewing more than $8 billion of opportunities over the past three years, our reputation as a leading capital provider to the self-storage sector and our long-standing network of contacts within the sector.  From a capital perspective we now have several attractive capital sources that provide us with the flexibility we need to fund the business. As we look forward, we expect 2018 to produce continued strong asset revenue growth, modest expense growth and substantial fair value gains as 2016 and 2017 development projects are completed and enter lease-up, resulting in additional significant returns to shareholders.”

Financial Highlights

Net income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $4.1 million, or $0.29 per share, and adjusted earnings were $5.0 million, or $0.35 per share. Net income attributable to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $10.4 million, or $0.94 per share, and adjusted earnings were $12.4 million, or $1.12 per share.

Total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $3.4 million and $8.3 million, respectively, representing increases of $1.7 million, or 97.9%, and $3.9 million, or 88.9%, over revenues for the comparable periods in 2016. General and administrative expenses decreased 5.3% for the three months and increased 5.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to general and administrative expenses in the same periods in 2016.

General and administrative expenses and stock-based compensation expense (“SBE”), for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Three months ended September 30,
	2017		2016		% inc (dec)
General and administrative expenses, excluding SBE	$	1,090	$	1,122	(2.9)	%
Plus: SBE		296		341	(13.2)	%
General and administrative expenses	$	1,386	$	1,463	(5.3)	%

	Nine months ended September 30,
	2017		2016		% inc (dec)
General and administrative expenses, excluding SBE	$	3,313	$	3,274	1.2	%
Plus: SBE		1,023		828	23.6	%
General and administrative expenses	$	4,336	$	4,102	5.7	%

The increase in SBE for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily due to additional restricted stock grants to certain officers and employees of the Company’s external manager during the second quarter of 2017.  

Net income attributable to common stockholders and adjusted earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 also include increases in fair value of investments of $3.4 million and $9.1 million, respectively, compared to increases of $4.9 million and $14.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Results reflect the impact of the limited number of on-balance sheet closings in 2016 resulting in modest fair value adjustments in 2017 on the 2016 investments.

Capital Markets Activities

On July 25, 2017, the Company entered into a $100 million senior secured revolving credit facility, which has an accordion feature permitting expansion up to $200 million, subject to syndication. The current borrowing capacity under the credit facility is $33.3 million; however, the Company’s development property investments are eligible to be added to the borrowing base once they receive certificates of occupancy. Based on the Company’s estimate of certificates of occupancy expected to be received between now and the end of 2018, the Company anticipates a borrowing base sufficient to secure the full $200 million by December 31, 2018.

On October 26, 2017, the Company issued $10.0 million of its Series A Preferred Stock.

Dividends

On August 1, 2017, the Company declared cash and stock dividends on its Series A Preferred Stock. The cash dividend of $0.2 million was paid on October 13, 2017. A stock dividend of 6,703 shares of common stock was issued on October 13, 2017 for an aggregate value of $0.1 million pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement.

Additionally, on August 1, 2017, the Company declared a dividend of $0.35 per common share. The dividend was paid on October 13, 2017 to common shareholders of record on October 2, 2017.

Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2017 Guidance

As the Company previously announced, one of its development investments, a self-storage facility under construction in Jacksonville, sustained wind damage from Hurricane Irma. In addition, its planned development facility in Houston experienced a significant delay in permitting and the beginning of construction due to Hurricane Harvey. As a result, a significant portion of the Company’s anticipated increase in fair value during the fourth quarter of 2017 is now expected to shift to the first and second quarters of 2018. This shift in timing has the effect of reducing the Company’s prior full-year

2

guidance for change in fair value of investments by approximately $5.8 million on the low side and approximately $8.0 million on the high side, with a corresponding decrease in net income and adjusted earnings. The amount of the fourth quarter decrease in estimated change in fair value is captured as corresponding increases in estimated change in fair value in the 2018 guidance presented below.

The following tables reflect earnings per share and adjusted earnings per share guidance for the three months ending December 31, 2017 and updated guidance, reflecting the effect of the timing change caused by the hurricanes discussed above, for the full-year 2017 as compared to the full-year 2017 guidance previously provided. Such guidance is based on management's current expectations of Company investment activity (including fair value appreciation), the self-storage market, and overall economic conditions. Adjusted earnings is a performance measure that is not specifically defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and is defined as net income attributable to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) plus stock dividends payable to preferred stockholders, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization on real estate assets, and loss on modification of debt.

(1)	Includes $3.5 million (low and high) and $3.7 million (low) / $3.6 million (high) of management fees for updated guidance and previous guidance for the year ending December 31, 2017, respectively.
(2)	Adjusted guidance to consider our purchase of 100% of developer’s interests in self-storage facility in Orlando MSA.
(3)	Excludes $1.3 million (low and high) and $1.4 million (low) / $1.6 million (high) of unrealized appreciation in fair value of investments from the real estate venture which is included in JV income for updated guidance and previous guidance for the year ending December 31, 2017, respectively.
(4)	Represents both cash dividends and stock dividends estimated with respect to outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

The guidance above is based on the following key assumptions regarding the Company’s business activities in the fourth quarter of 2017:

▪ projected closings on $90 million to $100 million of new development property investments with a profits interest for the fourth quarter of 2017 ($395 million to $405 million for the full-year);

▪ fundings of approximately $35 million to $40 million on the Company’s investment commitments during the fourth quarter ($155 million to $160 million for the full-year);

4

▪ anticipated proceeds of $30 million from the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock during the fourth quarter of 2017, which includes the issuance of $10 million of Series A Preferred Stock on October 26, 2017; and

▪ no change in the key assumptions used to value the Company’s investments.

Over 75% of the development property investment commitments closed by the Company in 2016 were made through the Heitman joint venture (“JV”). The Company resumed closing on-balance sheet investments in late 2016. The 2017 guidance reflects the impact of the limited number of on-balance sheet closings in 2016 resulting in modest fair value adjustments in 2017 on the 2016 investments. The Company expects that the substantial increase in on-balance sheet investment activity in 2017 will result in significant increases in interest income and fair value appreciation in 2018.

Preliminary Full-Year 2018 Guidance

The following table reflects preliminary guidance for revenues, JV income, G&A expenses, and fair value appreciation for the full-year 2018. Such guidance is based on management's current expectations of Company investment activity (including fair value appreciation), the operational and new supply dynamics of the self-storage markets in which the Company has invested, and overall economic conditions.

(1) Excludes $0.8 million (low) and $1.2 million (high) of unrealized appreciation in fair value of investments from the real estate venture which is included in JV income.

The guidance above is based on the following key assumptions regarding the Company’s business activities in the year ending December 31, 2018:

▪ projected closings on $200 million to $230 million of new development property investments with a profits interest in 2018;

▪ estimated fundings of approximately $260 million to $300 million on the Company’s closed and projected investment commitments in 2018(1);

▪ increases in general and administrative expenses largely due to anticipated increases in the Company’s management fees as equity capitalization increases;

▪ no  significant change in the Company’s business model; and

▪ no  additional purchases of developers’ interests.

(1) At the time of Certificate of Occupancy of each development project financed by the Company, the amount of the Company’s commitment that is actually funded generally ranges from 88% to 90% of the Company’s total commitment, with the balance of such commitment held to fund interest payments and operating reserves during the initial 18 to 24 months lease-up of the project. The amount of estimated fundings reflect this investment methodology.

The ultimate occurrence of events and results referenced in these forward-looking statements is subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. These forward-looking statements are based upon the Company's present intentions and expectations, but the events and results referenced in these statements are not guaranteed to occur.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Earnings is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as net income attributable to common stockholders plus stock dividends payable to preferred stockholders, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization on real estate assets, loss on modification of debt, transaction and other expenses, restructuring costs, and deferred termination fee to manager. Management uses Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings per share as key performance indicators in evaluating the operations of the Company's business. The Company is a capital provider to self-storage developers and believes that these measures are useful to management and investors as a starting point in measuring its operational performance because they exclude various equity-based payments (including stock dividends) and other items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of its present and future operating performance, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. The Company’s computation of Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings per share may not be comparable to other key performance indicators reported by other REITs or real estate companies. Reconciliations of Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings per share to Net income attributable to common stockholders and Earnings per share, respectively, are provided in the attached table entitled “Calculation of Adjusted Earnings.”
