CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain statements contained in this Current Report on Form 10-Q other than historical facts may be considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and, as such, may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of ExchangeRight Income Fund (the “Company”) d/b/a the ExchangeRight Essential Income REIT (the "Company") to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. For these statements, the Company claims the protections of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe the Company’s future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “may”, “will”, “should”, “estimates”, “projects”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “expects”, “intends”, “future”, and words of similar import, or the negative thereof. Forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 10-Q include information about possible or assumed future events, including, among other things, discussion and analysis of our future financial condition, results of operations, our strategic plans and objectives, occupancy, leasing rates and trends, liquidity and ability to meet future obligations, anticipated expenditures of capital and other matters. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date this Form 10-Q is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Any such forward-looking statements are subject to unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which in some cases are beyond our control, and are based on a number of assumptions involving judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive, and market conditions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately. To the extent that our assumptions differ from actual results, our ability to meet such forward-looking statements, including our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations, provide distributions to shareholders, and maintain the value of our real estate properties, may be significantly hindered.

 

Factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to:

 

risks inherent in the real estate business, including tenant defaults, illiquidity of real estate investments, potential liability relating to environmental matters and potential damages from natural disasters;
general business and economic conditions;
the accuracy of our assessment that certain businesses are e‑commerce resistant and recession‑resilient;
the accuracy of the tools we use to determine the creditworthiness of our tenants;
concentration of our business within certain tenant categories;
ability to renew leases, lease vacant space or re‑lease space as existing leases expire;
our ability to successfully execute our acquisition strategies;
the degree and nature of our competition;
inflation and interest rate fluctuations;
failure, weakness, interruption or breach in security of our information systems;
our failure to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness;
continued volatility and uncertainty in the credit markets and broader financial markets;
our ability to maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes;
our limited operating history as a REIT, which may adversely affect our ability to make distributions to our shareholders;
current loans, or future loans, may be subject to certain unfavorable provisions or may not be able to be refinanced;
changes in, or the failure or inability to comply with, applicable laws or regulations; and
future sales or issuances of our common shares or other securities convertible into our common shares, or the perception thereof, could cause the value of our common shares to decline and could result in dilution.

 

The foregoing list is only a summary of the principal risks that may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The foregoing should be read in conjunction with the complete discussion of risk factors we face, which are set forth in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Companys Registration Statement on Form 10 that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 7, 2023.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, its subsidiaries and any single member limited liability companies or other entities which are consolidated in accordance with GAAP. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The Company consolidates variable interest entities (“VIEs”) when it is the primary beneficiary. Generally, a VIE is an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (1) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (2) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk (a) lack the power through voting or similar rights to make decisions about the entity’s activities that significantly impact the entity’s performance, (b) have no obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (c) have no right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests, and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately fewer voting rights.

A VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE has (1) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current values, performance of real estate held by these VIEs, and general market conditions.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited interim 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 unaudited interim 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. 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.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company occasionally utilizes derivative financial instruments, principally interest rate swaps, to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company has established policies and procedures for risk assessment, and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments must be effective in reducing the Company’s interest rate risk exposure in order to qualify for hedge accounting. When the terms of an underlying transaction are modified, or when the underlying hedged item ceases to exist, all changes in the fair value of the instrument are marked-to-market with changes in value included in net income for each period until the derivative financial instrument matures or is settled. Any derivative financial instrument used for risk management that does not meet the hedging criteria is marked-to-market with the changes in value included in net income. The Company has not entered into, and does not plan to enter into, derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Acquisitions

 

On March 31, 2023, the Company, through the Operating Partnership, acquired a property for cash from an unaffiliated entity not managed by the Sponsor for a total purchase price, including acquisitions costs, of $2.3 million. ExchangeRight earned a 1.0% acquisition fee on this property acquisition totaling $22,000 (see Note 10. Related and Affiliated Party Transactions, for further details regarding acquisition fees).

 

On August 31, 2023, the Company, through the Operating Partnership, acquired 15 properties for a total purchase price of $83.8 million via a merger agreement with a Delaware Statutory Trust (“DST”) that had qualified for tax-deferred exchange treatment under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) prior to the merger and was previously managed by the Sponsor on behalf of their investors. There were no acquisition fees related to this portfolio acquisition. In connection with this acquisition, the Company assumed a $43.5 million mortgage loan at a fixed-rate of 4.32% which matures on July 1, 2028 and requires monthly interest only payments.

Revenues

 

Substantially all of the Company’s tenants are subject to net-lease agreements where the tenant is generally responsible for minimum monthly rent and actual property operating expenses incurred, including property taxes, insurance and maintenance. In addition, certain of the Company’s tenants are subject to future rent increases based on fixed amounts or, in limited cases, increases in the consumer price index. In addition, certain leases provide for additional rent calculated as a percentage of the tenants’ gross sales above a specified level. The Company recorded no percentage rent revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Certain of the Company’s properties are subject to leases under which it retains responsibility for specific costs and expenses of the property. 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.

Note 4. Notes Receivable

 

RSLCA Notes Receivable From Affiliated Party

 

In order to maintain liquidity to fund the Company’s share repurchase program and other liquidity needs, the Company has invested in a short-term mezzanine loan to ExchangeRight (“ExchangeRight Mezz Loans”) for ExchangeRight’s DST programs under a Revolving Secured Line of Credit Agreement (“RSLCA”). These notes receivable most commonly have an average loan length of 60 to 120 days. The loan agreement, as amended, matures on April 4, 2027, with a maximum of $250.0 million outstanding at any time, and bears interest at a rate equal to 12.0% per annum, while outstanding.

 

The Company’s notes receivable are secured by interests in an affiliated party that indirectly owns net-leased necessity-based retail properties similar to the Company’s acquired properties, as well as a pledge agreement and subordination agreement provided by ExchangeRight. As a result, the risk profile of an investment in these notes is intended to be similar to ownership of the Company’s acquired properties while providing liquidity and an enhanced risk-adjusted return over investments with similar liquidity. The Company’s investment in the RSLCA notes receivable are held at amortized cost and totaled $19.3 million as of September 30, 2023.

 

Notes Receivable from Affiliated Parties

 

On August 25, 2022, the Company entered into a real estate note as the lender with a two-property net-leased DST managed by ExchangeRight. The secured note receivable matures on August 25, 2027, generates interest at a fixed-rate of 6.00% and requires monthly interest only payments from the borrower. The Company had a $3.6 million receivable under this real estate note as of September 30, 2023 and is included in notes receivable from affiliates in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

On November 18, 2022, the Company entered into a junior unsecured line of credit agreement as the lender with a four property net-leased DST managed by ExchangeRight. The junior unsecured line of credit agreement is for a maximum of $2.6 million, matures on November 18, 2027, generates interest at a fixed-rate of 7.25% and requires monthly interest only payments from the borrower. The Company had a $2.4 million receivable under this junior unsecured line of credit agreement as of September 30, 2023 and is included in notes receivable from affiliates in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 6. Fair Value Measurements

 

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, certain other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their fair value due to their terms and/or short-term nature.

 

The fair value of the Company’s fixed-rate mortgage loans payable and revolving credit facilities, which were determined to be Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy, were estimated using available market information and discounted cash flow analyses based on borrowing rates the Company believes it could obtain with similar terms and maturities. As of September 30, 2023, the aggregate fair value of the Company’s fixed-rate mortgage loans payable were $550.2 million. As of September 30, 2023, the aggregate carrying value of the Company’s fixed-rate mortgage loans payable were $589.0 million. The Company had no borrowings on its revolving credit facilities as of September 30, 2023.

 

Under GAAP, transactions involving related and affiliated parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's length-basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Therefore, in the opinion of management, the fair value of the RSLCA notes receivable from affiliated party and notes receivable from affiliates cannot be readily estimated, as the transactions are with related and affiliated parties. Other information about related and affiliated party transactions are provided, where applicable, elsewhere in these notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Derivative Financial Instrument

 

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Charges and/or credits relating to the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are made to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), noncontrolling interests or operations (included in interest expense), as applicable. Over time, the unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified into earnings as an increase or reduction to interest expense in the same periods in which the hedged interest payments affect earnings. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $0.3 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.

The Company, through the Operating Partnership, entered into a five-year swap agreement on February 8, 2023 to fix Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), resulting in an all-in fixed rate of 5.80% relating to the $26.9 million mortgage loan, effective as of February 9, 2023. The Company designated the pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swap with the terms described in the table below as of the acquisition date as a cash flow hedge. The swap agreement matures on February 1, 2028. The derivative instrument qualified as a cash flow hedge for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The fair value of the interest rate swap applicable to the mortgage loan payable entered into in February 2023 is included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023 (see Note 7. Debt, for further detail).

The valuation of the liability for the Company’s interest rate swap, which is measured on a recurring basis, was determined to be Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy and was based on independent values provided by a financial instrument valuation specialist. Such valuation was determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analyses on the expected cash flows of the derivative. The analysis reflects the contractual term of the swap, including the period to maturity, and user-observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves (“significant other observable inputs”). The fair value calculation also includes an amount for risk of non-performance using “significant unobservable inputs” such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default. The Company has concluded that, as of September 30, 2023, the fair value associated with the “significant unobservable inputs” relating to the Company’s risk of non-performance was insignificant to the overall fair value of the interest rate swap agreement and, as a result, the relevant inputs for purposes of calculating the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements, in their entirety, were based upon “significant other observable inputs”.

 

Note 7. Debt

 

Mortgage Loans Payable

 

Mortgage loans payable are secured by the properties on which the debt was placed and were considered nonrecourse debt with limited customary exceptions at the time of loan origination. The Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants related to its mortgage loans payable as of September 30, 2023. Fixed-rate mortgage loans payable are composed of the following as of September 30, 2023:

(c)
Mortgage bears interest at a variable-rate of 1.70% in excess of SOFR and concurrent with the closing of the mortgage, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement which effectively converted the variable-rate mortgage to a fixed-rate mortgage. Accordingly, this mortgage has been presented as a fixed-rate mortgage.

 

On February 1, 2023, the Company entered into a mortgage secured by five properties for $38.5 million. The mortgage matures on February 1, 2028, bears interest at a fixed-rate of 6.12%, and requires monthly interest only payments.

 

On February 9, 2023, the Company entered into a mortgage for $26.9 million. The mortgage matures on February 1, 2028, bears interest at a variable-rate of 1.70% in excess of SOFR, and requires monthly interest only payments. The loan is secured by four properties. Additionally, concurrent with the closing of the mortgage, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement which effectively converted the variable-rate mortgage to a fixed-rate mortgage of 5.80% through its maturity.

 

The Company repaid a $6.4 million mortgage loan payable by its contractual maturity date of February 1, 2023. Furthermore, the Company repaid a $7.7 million mortgage loan payable in September 2023 which had a contractual maturity date of October 1, 2023.

 

Revolving Lines of Credit

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company made repayments totaling $73.3 million under borrowing notes within a secured revolving line of credit. These repayments reduced the outstanding balance under this secured revolving credit facility to zero. The secured revolving line of credit matured in May 2023.

 

The unsecured revolving line of credit agreement, as amended in April 2023, now bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate currently in effect with an interest rate floor of 3.75%, while outstanding (8.50% as of September 30,

The Company is a party to certain legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Management does not expect there to be adverse consequences from these actions that would be material to the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Environmental Matters

 

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, an owner or operator of real estate may be required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances, or petroleum product releases, at its properties. The owner may be liable to governmental entities or to third parties for property damage, and for investigation and cleanup costs incurred by such parties in connection with any contamination. Generally, the Company’s tenants must comply with environmental laws and meet any remediation requirements. In addition, leases typically impose obligations on tenants to indemnify the Company from any compliance costs the Company may incur as a result of environmental conditions on the property caused by the tenant. However, if a lease does not require compliance, or if a tenant fails to or cannot comply, the Company could be forced to pay these costs. Management is unaware of any environmental matters that would have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 9. Equity and Noncontrolling Interests

 

Common Shares Detail

Common Share Repurchase Program

 

The Company has adopted a share repurchase program whereby, subject to certain limitations, shareholders may request on a quarterly basis that the Company repurchases all or any portion of their shares. Shareholders are eligible to have their shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the share repurchase program and the authorization of the Trustee. Holders of shares may request that the Company repurchase shares in an amount not to exceed five percent (5.0%) per fiscal year of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares. The Company may repurchase fewer shares than have been requested in any particular quarter to be repurchased under its share repurchase program, or none at all, at the Company’s full discretion. The Company also has no obligation to repurchase shares if the redemption would violate the applicable restrictions on distributions under Maryland law, which prohibits distributions that would cause the Company to fail to meet statutory tests of solvency. The Trustee may modify, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program if it deems such action to be in the Company’s best interest and the best interest of the Company’s shareholders. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 80,031 Class I Common Shares and 13,919 Class A Common Shares totaling $2.5 million under the share repurchase program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 228,127 Class I Common Shares and 96,846 Class A Common Shares totaling $8.4 million under the share repurchase program. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company repurchased 2,885 Class I Common Shares and 38,010 Class A Common Shares totaling $1.1 million under the share repurchase program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company repurchased 9,885 Class I Common Shares and 44,551 Class A Common Shares totaling $1.5 million under the share repurchase program. All shareholder requests to the Company for repurchases have been honored since the inception of the Company.

 

Distributions

 

The amount of distributions payable to the Company's shareholders is determined by the Trustee and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for distribution, the Company’s financial condition, capital expenditure requirements, requirements of Maryland law and annual distribution requirements needed to qualify and maintain the Company’s status as a REIT. The Trustee has authorized, and the Company has declared, distributions through September 30, 2023. The distributions are payable on or around the 15th day following each month end to shareholders of record at the close of business on the last day of the prior month.

Noncontrolling Interests

 

The Operating Partnership had 8,108,316 OP Units outstanding as of September 30, 2023. The holders of OP Units have the right to cause their OP Units to be redeemed by the Operating Partnership for cash, unless the Company, in its sole discretion, elects to purchase such OP Units in exchange for Class I Common Shares of the Company, issuable on a 1:1 basis, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The Company currently intends to elect to pay the redemption price for all OP Units tendered for redemption in the form of Class I Common Shares. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, 58,996 and 96,475 OP Units, respectively, were exchanged for the same number of Class I Common Shares. No OP Units were exchanged for Class I Common Shares during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

 

On August 31, 2023, the Company, through the Operating Partnership, acquired 15 properties for a total purchase price of $83.8 million via a merger agreement with a DST that had qualified for tax-deferred exchange treatment under Section 1031 of the Code prior to the merger and was previously managed by the Sponsor on behalf of investors. There were no acquisition fees related to this portfolio acquisition. In connection with this acquisition, the Operating Partnership (excluding ExchangeRight’s related party activity) issued 649,847 OP Units totaling $18.2 million.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company, through the Operating Partnership, acquired 164 properties via merger agreements with nine former DSTs for a total purchase price of $493.0 million that had qualified for tax-deferred exchange treatment under Section 1031 of the Code prior to the merger and that were previously managed by the Sponsor on behalf of investors. In connection with these acquisitions, the Operating Partnership (excluding ExchangeRight’s related party activity) issued 4,612,977 OP Units totaling $130.6 million.

 

Note 10. Related and Affiliated Party Transactions

ExchangeRight earned a 1% acquisition fee on this property acquisition totaling $22,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2023. This acquisition fee was included in the allocation of the purchase price for this completed acquisition.

 

Organization and Offering Costs

All of these expenses are paid by the Sponsor or its affiliates. The Sponsor earns an amount equal to 1.00% of the net transaction price of sales of Class I, A and S Common Shares, which is expected to offset the organizational and offering costs incurred described above.

 

Offering costs of $0.3 million and $1.0 million were included in total equity for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, for which the Company was obligated to pay the Sponsor.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company is obligated to pay the Sponsor for organization and offering costs in the amount of $20,000 which is included in due to affiliates in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

In addition, Class A Common Shares incur broker dealer commissions as an offering cost, a portion of which could be eligible to be earned by an affiliate of the Company. These net commissions totaled $0.2 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and $1.2 million and $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which are included in offering costs in noncontrolling interests attributable to operating partnership on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Furthermore, OP Units incur broker dealer commissions as an offering cost, a portion of which could be eligible to be earned by an affiliate of the Company. These net commissions totaled $0.5 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and $0.5 million and $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which are included in offering costs in noncontrolling interests attributable to operating partnership on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Common Share and Noncontrolling Interest Ownership Interests

In addition, ExchangeRight has made an investment into OP Units on the same terms offered to OP Unit holders. ExchangeRight owns 77,308 OP Units as a result of its investment of $2.0 million as of September 30, 2023.

 

Performance Participation

 

In addition to distributions payable on the 600,000 Class I Common Shares that ExchangeRight Income Fund GP, LLC holds, ExchangeRight Income Fund GP also holds a special limited partnership interest in our Operating Partnership, which entitles it to receive an incentive fee in accordance with the following waterfall:

(2) Second, 100% to the holders of OP Units, pro rata in accordance with their respective capital accounts, until all of the holders of OP Units have received cumulative distributions, in cash, equal to their respective capital contributions made, or deemed to have been made, to the Operating Partnership; and

 

(3) Third, (i) 80% to the holders of OP Units, pro rata in accordance with their respective capital accounts, and (ii) 20% to the special limited partner.

Note 11. (Loss) Earnings Per Share

 

Basic (loss) earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the Company’s common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period including participating securities, if applicable. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted into common shares and then shared in the earnings of the Company. OP Units are convertible to Class I Common Shares of the Company on a 1-to-1 basis and are allocated income on the same basis as common shares of the Company. Therefore, the result of an assumed conversion of the OP Units would have neither a dilutive nor anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share. Accordingly, basic (loss) EPS is the same as diluted (loss) EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the EPS calculations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively:

Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Share Purchase Plan

 

On October 19, 2023, the Trustee approved the Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Share Purchase Plan of the Company (the “DRIP”), which generally permits shareholders of the Company to elect to have some or all of their cash distributions in respect of the shareholder’s Common Shares to be automatically reinvested in additional Common Shares. Any cash dividends attributable to the class of Common Shares owned by participants in the DRIP will be reinvested in Common Shares on behalf of the participant on the business day such dividend would have been paid to such investor. In addition, holders of the Class I common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership may elect to reinvest their cash distributions from the Operating Partnership and make optional cash purchases Dur of our Class I Common Shares. Participants may elect to have their cash dividends or distributions reinvested in additional Common Shares at a 1% discount to the NAV per Common Share applicable to the class of shares being purchased on the distribution date. The Company will not pay selling commissions on shares purchased pursuant to the DRIP. In addition, ExchangeRight Real Estate, LLC, the sponsor of the Company, will not charge participants for organizational and offering costs in connection with the DRIP. Shares offered under the DRIP will have the same rights as the corresponding class of Common Shares offered to prospective investors in the Company’s Private Offering.

Company Overview

 

ExchangeRight Income Fund, doing business as ExchangeRight Essential Income REIT, a Maryland statutory trust, is a self-administered real estate company, formed on January 11, 2019, focusing on investing in single-tenant, primarily investment-grade net-leased real estate. The Company, through the Operating Partnership, owned 352 properties in 34 states as of September 30, 2023. These properties were 99.3% leased as of September 30, 2023 and are occupied by 37 different primarily national investment-grade necessity-based retail tenants and are additionally diversified by industry, geographic region and lease term.

 

The Company has elected and is qualified to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2019. The Company is the sole general partner and a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership formed on January 9, 2019. Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through the Operating Partnership. The Trust Properties are owned and controlled by the Company and are managed by the Property Manager and the Asset Manager, which are both wholly-owned subsidiaries of ExchangeRight, pursuant to executed management agreements with each respective entity.

 

Recent Developments

 

During 2023, global markets continued to experience significant volatility, driven by concerns over persistent inflation, rising interest rates, slowing economic growth and geopolitical uncertainty. Inflation persisted at multi-decade highs in many major economies around the world, prompting central banks to pursue monetary policy tightening actions that are likely to continue to create headwinds to economic growth.

Substantially all of the Company’s tenant leases contain provisions designed to partially mitigate the negative impact of inflation in the near term. Such lease provisions include clauses that require tenants to reimburse the Company for inflation-sensitive costs such as real estate taxes or insurance and many of the operating expenses it incurs. The Company has not been materially impacted in the current period by rising interest rates as all of its debt is currently effectively fixed-rate financing as of September 30, 2023. Significant inflation rate increases or heightened interest rates over a prolonged period of time may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business. It remains difficult to predict the full impact of recent events and any future changes in interest rates or inflation.

 

On October 19, 2023, the Trustee approved the Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Share Purchase Plan of the Company (the “DRIP”), which generally permits shareholders of the Company to elect to have some or all of their cash distributions in respect of the shareholder’s Common Shares to be automatically reinvested in additional Common Shares. Any cash dividends attributable to the class of Common Shares owned by participants in the DRIP will be reinvested in Common Shares on behalf of the participant on the business day such dividend would have been paid to such investor. In addition, holders of the Class I common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership may elect to reinvest their cash distributions from the Operating Partnership and make optional cash purchases of our Class I Common Shares. Participants may elect to have their cash dividends or distributions reinvested in additional Common Shares at a 1% discount to the NAV per Common Share applicable to the class of shares being purchased on the distribution date. The Company will not pay selling commissions on shares purchased pursuant to the DRIP. In addition, ExchangeRight Real Estate, LLC, the sponsor of the Company, will not charge participants for organizational and offering costs in connection with the DRIP. Shares offered under the DRIP will have the same rights as the corresponding class of Common Shares offered to prospective investors in the Company’s Private Offering. The offering of

the Common Shares under the DRIP is being conducted in reliance on the exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Regulation D, Rule 506(b), thereunder.

 

Highlights for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023

Activity for the Nine months Ended September 30, 2023

 

Property Acquisitions

 

On March 31, 2023, the Company, through the Operating Partnership, acquired a property from an unaffiliated entity not managed by ExchangeRight for a total purchase price of $2.3 million. ExchangeRight earned a 1.0% acquisition fee on this property acquisition totaling $22,000.

 

On August 31, 2023, the Company, through the Operating Partnership, acquired 15 properties for a total purchase price of $83.8 million via a merger agreement with a DST that had qualified for tax-deferred exchange treatment under Section 1031 of the Code prior to the merger and was previously managed by the Sponsor on behalf of investors. There were no acquisition fees related to this portfolio acquisition. In connection with this acquisition, the Company assumed a $43.5 million interest-only mortgage loan at a fixed-rate of 4.32% which matures on July 1, 2028. Additionally, the Operating Partnership issued 649,847 OP Units totaling $18.2 million in relation to this acquisition.

 

All 2023 acquisitions were accounted for as asset acquisitions and the related purchase price was allocated to the acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets or assumed liabilities based on their relative fair values.

 

RSLCA Notes Receivable from Related Party

 

In order to earn a return on the funds maintained for liquidity for the share repurchase program and other liquidity needs, the Company invested in ExchangeRight Mezz Loans for ExchangeRight’s DST programs under the RSLCA. These notes receivable typically provide for liquidity within 60 to 120 days. The loan agreement, as amended, matures on April 4, 2027 and bears interest at a rate equal to 12.0% per annum, while outstanding. ExchangeRight structured the RSLCA, including the 12% interest rate, as a way to provide an enhanced risk-adjusted return to the Company. Effective April 4, 2022, the capacity under the RSLCA increased to a maximum of $250.0 million outstanding at any time. ExchangeRight had net repayments of $7.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreasing the balance of the RSLCA notes receivable to $19.3 million at September 30, 2023.

 

Mortgage Loans Payable

 

On February 1, 2023, the Company entered into a mortgage secured by five properties for $38.5 million. The mortgage matures on February 1, 2028, bears interest at a fixed-rate of 6.12% and requires monthly interest only payments.

 

On February 9, 2023, the Company entered into a mortgage for $26.9 million. The mortgage matures on February 1, 2028, bears interest at a variable-rate of 1.70% in excess of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate and requires monthly interest only payments. The loan is secured by four properties. Additionally, concurrent with the closing of the mortgage, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement which effectively converted the variable-rate mortgage to a fixed-rate mortgage of 5.80% through its maturity.

 

On August 31, 2023, the Company assumed a $43.5 million interest-only mortgage loan secured by 15 properties in conjunction with the acquisition of the same 15 properties via a merger agreement with a DST previously managed by the Sponsor. The mortgage matures on July 1, 2028, bears interest at a fixed-rate of 4.32%, and requires interest only payments.

 

The Company repaid a $6.4 million mortgage loan payable by its contractual maturity date of February 1, 2023. Furthermore, the Company repaid a $7.7 million mortgage loan payable in September 2023 which had a contractual maturity date of October 1, 2023.

 

Revolving Lines of Credit

 

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company made repayments totaling $73.3 million under borrowing notes within the secured revolving line of credit. These repayments reduced the outstanding balance under its secured revolving credit facility to zero. This secured revolving line of credit matured in May 2023.

 

The unsecured revolving line of credit agreement, as amended in April 2023, now bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate currently in effect with an interest rate floor of 3.75%, while outstanding. The unsecured revolving line of

 

25

 


 

credit will require monthly interest only payments, while outstanding. The Company had no outstanding balance under this unsecured revolving line of credit as of September 30, 2023.

Interest income from the RSLCA was $1.2 million lower during the three months ended September 30, 2023 as a result of an approximate $40.7 million decrease in the average daily outstanding balance of the RSLCA during the three months ended September 30, 2023 versus the three months ended September 30, 2022. In addition, interest income from borrowings under the notes receivable from affiliated parties was $0.1 million and $0 during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Management fees to affiliates decreased $31,000, or 5% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 versus September 30, 2022. Asset management fees decreased $71,000 and property management fees increased $40,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2023 versus the three months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Asset management fees for the three months ended September 30, 2023 totaled $0.4 million, consisting of $0.5 million of earned fees per the management agreement, net of $0.1 million of fees waived by the asset manager.

 

General and administrative expenses increased $150,000, or 62% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 versus September 30, 2022. General and administrative expenses were higher mainly due to an increase in audit, tax and legal fees in connection with the Company's ongoing public filings required after its Form 10 registration statement became effective.

 

Depreciation and amortization increased $2.0 million, or 24% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 versus September 30, 2022. The increase is directly attributable to the acquisition of 38 properties from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023 in addition to a full quarter of depreciation and amortization for the 97 properties acquired from July 1, 2022 through September 30, 2022. Acquisitions from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023 resulted in $108.0 million of additional depreciable assets based on the allocation of the purchase price and acquisitions costs. Additionally, acquisitions from July 1, 2022 through September 30, 2022 resulted in $229.7 million of additional depreciable assets based on the allocation of the purchase price and acquisitions costs.

Interest expense increased during the three months ended September 30, 2023 versus 2022 as a result of (1) the assumption of $67.9 million of mortgage loans payable from the acquisition of 37 properties via merger agreements with two former 1031-exchangeable portfolios from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023, (2) the assumption of $157.6 million of mortgage loans payable from the acquisition of 97 properties via merger agreements with six former 1031-exchangeable portfolios from July 1, 2022 through September 30, 2022, and (3) an increase of $0.5 million in amortization of below market debt associated with the assumption of mortgage loans payable.

 

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

 

The variances in the Company’s results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were primarily attributable to the acquisition of 38 properties for $132.6 million from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023 in addition to a full nine months of operating results for the 164 properties acquired from January 1, 2022 through September 30, 2022 for $493.0 million.

Rental revenue and property operating expenses increases were primarily attributable to the acquisition of 38 properties totaling $132.6 million from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023 in addition to a full nine months of rental revenue and property operating expenses for the 164 properties acquired from January 1, 2022 through September 30, 2022 for $493.0 million.

Interest income on notes receivable from affiliates includes interest earned from (1) outstanding borrowings under the RSLCA which bears interest at a rate equal to 12.0% per annum, (2) a $3.6 million real estate note receivable from an affiliated party and (3) a $2.4 million note receivable from an affiliated party. Interest income from the RSLCA was $4.3 million lower during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as a result of an approximate $59.3 million decrease in the average daily outstanding balance of the RSLCA during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 versus the nine months ended September 30, 2022. In addition, interest income from borrowings under the notes receivable from affiliated parties was $0.3 million and $0 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Management fees to affiliates increased $0.3 million, or 24% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 versus September 30, 2022. Management fees to affiliates were higher in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as a result of 38 property acquisitions totaling $132.6 million from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023. Asset and property management fees increased $0.2 million and $0.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 versus the nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, for the same reason.

 

General and administrative expenses increased $0.9 million, or 133% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 versus September 30, 2022. General and administrative expenses were higher due to an increase in audit, tax and legal fees in connection with the Company's Form 10 registration statement.

 

Depreciation and amortization increased $10.2 million, or 50% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 versus September 30, 2022. The increase is directly attributable to the acquisition of 38 properties from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023 in addition to a full nine months of depreciation and amortization for the 164 properties acquired from January 1, 2022 through September 30, 2022. Acquisitions from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023 resulted in $108.0 million of additional depreciable assets based on the allocation of the purchase price and acquisitions costs. Additionally, acquisitions from January 1, 2022 through September 30, 2022 resulted in $392.0 million of additional depreciable assets based on the allocation of the purchase price and acquisitions costs.

Interest expense increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 versus 2022 as a result of (1) the assumption of $67.9 million of mortgage loans payable from the acquisition of 37 properties via merger agreements with two former 1031-exchangeable portfolios from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023, (2) the assumption of $262.1 million of mortgage loans payable from the acquisition of 164 properties via merger agreements with nine former 1031-exchangeable portfolios from January 1, 2022 through September 30, 2022, (3) the increase of 225 basis points in the prime rate from September 30, 2022 (6.25%) to September 30, 2023 (8.50%) which is directly attributable to the increase in contractual interest expense relating to the secured and unsecured revolving credit facilities while the debt instruments were outstanding and (4) an increase of $1.9 million in amortization of below market debt associated with the assumption of mortgage loans payable.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company has historically funded, and expects to continue to fund, short-term liquidity requirements, including debt service and distributions to our shareholders and distributions to holders of noncontrolling interests, from its operations. The Company funds acquisitions and certain capital expenditures primarily from the sale of shares of its Class A and Class I Common Shares, the issuance of additional OP Units, and through the assumption or incurrence of debt. The Company believes that its current liquidity position is sufficient to meet its expected acquisition activity. We expect to fund our current liquidity requirements from a combination of cash on hand and cash flow generated from operations.

 

The Company received payment of 100% of contractual based rents during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company’s strategy targets properties with net leases to insulate our shareholders from rising costs and surprise repair costs that affect other types of real estate investments. Longer lease terms primarily with investment-grade national tenants successfully operating in historically recession-resilient sectors are also intended to provide stable income that can help bridge economic cycles.

 

In order to earn a return on the funds maintained for liquidity to fund the share repurchase program and other liquidity needs, the Company has invested in a short-term mezzanine loan to ExchangeRight for ExchangeRight’s DST programs under the RSLCA. These notes receivable typically provide for liquidity within 60 to 120 days. The loan agreement, as amended, matures on April 4, 2027, with a maximum of $250.0 million outstanding at any time, and bears interest at a rate equal to 12.0% per annum, while outstanding. ExchangeRight structured the RSLCA, including the 12% interest rate, as a way to provide an enhanced risk-adjusted return to the Company as the two have a strong alignment of interest for both the REIT and DST platforms

to succeed. The Company and ExchangeRight will evaluate whether to extend the RSLCA agreement past the maturity date, although that is currently expected. The Company’s investment totaled $19.3 million as of September 30, 2023.

 

The Company’s notes receivable under the RSLCA are secured by interests in an entity that indirectly owns net-leased necessity-based retail properties similar to the Company’s acquired properties, as well as a pledge agreement and subordination agreement provided by ExchangeRight. As a result, the risk profile of an investment in this program is intended to be similar to ownership of the Company’s acquired properties while providing liquidity and an enhanced risk-adjusted return over investments with similar liquidity.

 

In order to continue qualifying as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its “REIT taxable income”, as defined in the Code. The Company paid monthly distributions relating to its common shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2022. While the Company intends to continue paying regular monthly distributions, future distribution declarations will continue to be at the discretion of the Trustee, and will depend on the cash flow and financial condition of the Company, capital requirements, annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code and such other factors as the Trustee may deem relevant.

 

In January 2021, the Company entered into an unsecured revolving line of credit with a financial institution. The unsecured revolving line of credit agreement, as amended, has a maturity date of January 15, 2024, with a maximum of $15.0 million outstanding at any time, and bears interest at a rate equal to the prime rate per annum with an interest rate floor of 3.75%, while outstanding. The unsecured revolving line of credit will require monthly interest only payments, while outstanding. The Company had no outstanding balance under this unsecured revolving line of credit as of September 30, 2023.

On February 1, 2023, the Company entered into a mortgage secured by five properties for $38.5 million. The mortgage matures on February 1, 2028, bears interest at a fixed-rate of 6.12% and requires monthly interest only payments.

 

On February 9, 2023, the Company entered into a mortgage for $26.9 million. The mortgage matures on February 1, 2028, bears interest at a variable-rate of 1.70% in excess of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate and requires monthly interest only payments. The loan is secured by four properties. Additionally, concurrent with the closing of the mortgage, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement which effectively converted the variable-rate mortgage to a fixed-rate mortgage of 5.80% through its maturity.

 

The mortgage loans payable mature at various dates from March 2024 through January 2031. The Company intends to repay the mortgage debt maturing in 2024 with either available cash, proceeds from repayments under the RSLCA, secured debt financing, unsecured debt financing, or a combination of these options. Mortgage loans payable may require the Company to deposit certain replacement and other reserves with its lenders. Such “restricted cash” is generally available only for property-level requirements for which the reserves have been established and is not available to fund other property-level or Company-level obligations. The Company had $14.3 million in restricted cash as of September 30, 2023.

Operating Activities

 

Net cash from operating activities was $30.9 million and $28.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase between the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was primarily a result of the full nine month operating results for the 202 properties acquired on various dates from January 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023 for an aggregate purchase price of $625.7 million, which was offset by (1) an increase in cash paid for interest of $7.3 million and (2) a decrease in interest income of $4.3 million from the RSLCA and notes receivable from affiliated parties.

Investing Activities

 

Net cash flows used in investing activities were primarily the result of the Company’s property acquisitions, leasehold improvements and net advances/repayments on the RLSCA and notes receivable from affiliated parties.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company acquired 16 properties for a total cash outlay of $24.6 million, incurred expenditures of $0.7 million for improvements of real estate and had $7.5 million in net repayments under the RSLCA. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company acquired properties for a total cash outlay of $100.3 million, had $3.6 million in advances for notes receivable with affiliated parties, incurred expenditures of $0.4 million for improvements of real estate, and had $42.8 million in net repayments under the RSLCA.

 

Financing Activities

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company had net repayments of $73.3 million from its revolving credit facilities, distributions of $19.6 million to the holders of Class A and Class I Common Shares, distributions of $9.8 million to the holders of OP Units, mortgage loans payable repayments of $14.3 million, redemptions of $8.4 million of Class A and Class I Common Shares and financing costs of $0.8 million relating to the two mortgage loans payable entered into in February 2023 which was offset by proceeds of $65.4 million relating to two mortgage loans payable entered into in February 2023, proceeds of $31.1 million from the issuance of Class A and Class I Common Shares and pending trade deposits of $1.2 million.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had proceeds of $83.3 million from the issuance of Class A and Class I Common Shares, proceeds of $22.5 million from its revolving credit facilities, pending trade deposits of $5.0 million, repayments of $31.1 million from its revolving credit facilities, distributions of $15.8 million to the holders of Class A and Class I Common Shares, redemptions of $8.1 million of OP Units, distributions of $4.7 million to the holders of OP Units, issuance costs of $3.4 million in relation to the offering and sale of OP Units, redemptions of $1.5 million of Class A and Class I Common Shares, mortgage loans payable repayments of $0.4 million and financing costs of $0.3 million relating to the Company's revolving credit facilities.

 

Distributions

 

The amount of distributions payable to the Company’s shareholders is determined by the Trustee and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for distribution, the Company’s financial condition, capital expenditure requirements, requirements of Maryland law and annual distribution requirements needed to qualify and maintain its status as a REIT. Our distribution policy is for our inception-to-date cash flow from operations to always exceed our distributions that have been declared or paid, rather than making distributions out of investor equity or financing, subject only to REIT qualification requirements or to avoid incurring federal income tax. The Trustee has authorized, and the Company has declared, distributions through September 30, 2023. The distributions are payable on approximately the 15th day following each month end to shareholders of record at the close of business on the last day of the prior month. Distributions in the aggregate amount of $3.4 million were declared but not yet paid as of September 30, 2023. The unpaid distributions as of September 30, 2023 were paid during October 2023.

The interest rates used in this calculation are the rates in effect for all debt obligations as of September 30, 2023.

 

On February 1, 2023, the Company entered into a mortgage secured by five properties for $38.5 million. The mortgage matures on February 1, 2028, bears interest at a fixed-rate of 6.12% and requires monthly interest only payments.

 

Furthermore, on February 9, 2023, the Company entered into a mortgage for $26.9 million. The mortgage matures on February 1, 2028, and bears interest at a variable-rate of 1.70% in excess of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate and requires monthly interest only payments. The loan is secured by four properties. Additionally, concurrent with the closing of the mortgage, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement which effectively converted the variable-rate mortgage to a fixed-rate mortgage of 5.80% through its maturity.

 

Related and Affiliated Party Transactions and Agreements

 

The Company has entered into agreements with ExchangeRight and its affiliates whereby we have paid, and may continue to pay, certain fees to, or reimburse certain expenses of, ExchangeRight or its affiliates for acquisition fees and actual incurred out-of-pocket expenses, but specifically excluding reimbursement related to employee compensation. The Company is also subject to a fee arrangement with ExchangeRight and its affiliates for organization and offering costs and asset and property management fees.

 

ExchangeRight incurs certain organization and offering costs in connection with the Company’s current private securities offering of its common shares and the organization of the Company. These costs include, but are not limited to, fees related to special purpose entity formation, legal and accounting fees, valuation fees related to any expansion of the offering,

 

34

 


 

marketing expenses and other costs and expenses directly related to the offering and organization of the Company. All of these expenses are paid by ExchangeRight or its affiliates. ExchangeRight earns a percentage of the gross proceeds from the offering which is expected to offset the organizational and offering costs incurred described above. This amount is equal to 1.00% of the net transaction price of sales of common shares. Offering costs of $0.6 million and $2.2 million were included in total equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, for which the Company was obligated to reimburse ExchangeRight. As of September 30, 2023, the Company is obligated to reimburse ExchangeRight for $20,000 of these reimbursable offering costs.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Other than the items disclosed in the Contractual Obligations section above, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2023 that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on the Company’s financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The Company’s most critical accounting policies are summarized below. Other accounting policies are summarized in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company's Form 10 Registration Statement that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 7, 2023. There have been no material changes in such critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, its subsidiaries and any single member limited liability companies or other entities which are consolidated in accordance with GAAP. The Company consolidates variable interest entities (“VIEs”) when it is the primary beneficiary. Generally, a VIE is an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (1) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (2) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk (a) lack the power through voting or similar rights to make decisions about the entity’s activities that significantly impact the entity’s performance, (b) have no obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (c) have no right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests, and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately fewer voting rights. A VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE has (1) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current values, performance of real estate held by these VIEs, and general market conditions.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited interim 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 unaudited interim 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. 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.

 

Investment in Real Estate

 

Real estate assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Assets are recognized at fair value at acquisition date.

 

The Company evaluates each acquisition transaction to determine whether the acquired asset meets the definition of a business and therefore accounted for as a business combination or if the acquisition transaction should be accounted for as an

 

35

 


 

asset acquisition. Under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business” (“ASU 2017-01”), an acquisition does not qualify as a business when substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets or the acquisition does not include a substantive process in the form of an acquired workforce or an acquired contract that cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort or delay. Transaction costs related to acquisitions that qualify as asset acquisitions are capitalized as part of the cost basis of the acquired assets, while transaction costs for acquisitions that are deemed to be acquisitions of a business are expensed as incurred.

The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired properties accounted for as asset acquisitions to tangible and identifiable intangible assets or liabilities based on their relative fair values. Tangible assets may include land, buildings, site improvements and tenant improvements. Intangible assets include the value of in-place leases and above-market leases and intangible liabilities include below-market leases. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property with an in-place operating lease is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to the tangible assets based on the relative fair value of the tangible assets. The fair value of in-place leases is determined by considering estimates of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods, current market conditions as well as costs to execute similar leases based on the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. The Company estimates the cost to execute leases with terms similar to the remaining lease terms of the in-place leases, including tenant improvements, leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.

The values of acquired above-market and below-market leases are recorded based on the present values (using discount rates which reflect the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the differences between the contractual amounts to be received and management’s estimate of market lease rates, measured over the terms of the respective leases that management deemed appropriate at the time of the acquisitions. Such valuations include consideration of the noncancelable terms of the respective leases as well as any applicable renewal periods. The fair values associated with below-market rental renewal options are determined based on the Company’s experience and the relevant facts and circumstances that existed at the time of the acquisitions. The values of the above-market and below-market leases are amortized over the term of the respective leases, including certain renewal options (as applicable), as an adjustment to rental revenue on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The value of other intangible assets (including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, etc.) is amortized to expense over the applicable terms of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration or not renewed, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be recognized in operations at that time. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, the Company utilizes a number of sources and also considers information and other factors including market conditions, the industry that the tenant operates in, characteristics of the real estate; e.g., location, size, demographics, value and comparative rental rates; tenant credit profile and the importance of the location of the real estate to the operations of the tenant’s business. Additionally, the Company considers information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the relative fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired. The Company's methodology for measuring and allocating the fair value of real estate acquisitions includes both observable market data (categorized as level 2 on the three-level valuation hierarchy of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement), and unobservable inputs that reflect the Company's own internal assumptions (categorized as level 3 under ASC Topic 820). Given the significance of the unobservable inputs the Company believes the allocations of fair value of real estate acquisitions should be categorized as level 3 under ASC Topic 820.

 

Management reviews each real estate investment for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a real estate investment may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability of real estate investments held for use is based on an estimate of the future cash flows that are expected to result from the real estate investment’s use and eventual disposition. These cash flows consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, capital expenditures, competition and other factors. If an impairment event exists due to the projected inability to recover the carrying value of a real estate investment, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value.

 

36

 


 

Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company considers the period of future benefit of each respective asset to determine its appropriate useful life. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s real estate assets by class are generally as follows:

 

Description

 

Depreciable life

Buildings

 

39 years

Building and site improvements

 

Ranging from 5 to 20 years

Tenant improvements

 

Shorter of the term of the related lease or useful life

Intangible lease assets and liabilities

 

Term of the related lease

 

Expenditures for improvements that substantially extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and betterments that do not substantially prolong the normal useful life of an asset are charged to operations as incurred.

 

Revenue Recognition and Receivables

 

Management has determined that predominantly all of the Company’s leases with its various tenants are operating leases. The Company recognizes minimum rent, including rental abatements, lease incentives and contractual fixed increases attributable to operating leases on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases when collectability is reasonably assured and records amounts expected to be received in later years as deferred rent receivable. Deferred rent receivable represents rent earned in excess of rent received as a result of straight-lining rents over the terms of the leases, in accordance with the guidance and is included in receivables on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Deferred rent liability represents rent received in excess of rent earned as a result of straight-lining rents over the terms of the leases. The Company records property operating expense reimbursements due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs in the period the related expenses are incurred.

 

A limited number of operating leases contain contingent rent provisions under which tenants are required to pay, as additional rent, a percentage of their sales in excess of a specified amount. The Company defers recognition of contingent rental income until those specified sales targets are met. Revenues also may include items such as lease termination fees, which tend to fluctuate more than rents from year to year. Termination fees are fees that the Company has agreed to accept in consideration for permitting certain tenants to terminate their lease prior to the contractual expiration. The Company recognizes lease termination income when the following conditions are met: (1) the lease termination agreement has been executed, (2) the lease termination fee is determinable, (3) all the Company’s landlord services pursuant to the terminated lease have been rendered, and (4) collectability of the lease termination fee is assured.

 

If the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or by the Company. When the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is typically not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed.

 

When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance that is funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term. Tenant improvement ownership is determined based on various factors including, but not limited to:

 

whether the lease stipulates how a tenant improvement allowance may be spent;
whether the amount of a tenant improvement allowance is in excess of market rates;
whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements at the end of the lease term;
whether the tenant improvements are unique to the tenant or general-purpose in nature; and
whether the tenant improvements are expected to have any residual value at the end of the lease.

 

Noncontrolling Interests

 

The Company presents noncontrolling interests, which represents OP Units, and classifies such interests as a component of equity, separate from the Company's shareholders' equity. Noncontrolling interests were created as part of contribution and merger agreements with former 1031-exchangeable portfolios that were previously managed by ExchangeRight on behalf of investors and recognized at fair value as of the date of the transaction. The holders of OP Units have the right to exchange their OP Units for the same number of the Company’s Class I Common Shares, subject to a one-year holding period from the date of initial investment.

 

37

 


 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company has elected and is qualified to be taxed as a REIT, as it complies with the related provisions under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, the Company generally is not and will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent of its distributions to shareholders and as long as certain asset, income and share ownership tests are met. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must annually distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its shareholders and meet certain other requirements. Under certain circumstances, federal income and excise taxes may be due on its undistributed taxable income. The Company may also be subject to certain state, local and franchise taxes. If the Company fails to meet these requirements, it will be subject to U.S. federal income tax, which could have a material adverse impact on its results of operations and amounts available for distributions to its shareholders. Application of tax laws and regulations to various types of transactions is susceptible to varying interpretations. Therefore, amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements could be changed at a later date upon examination and final determination by the taxing authorities. No such examinations by taxing authorities are presently in process.

 

The Company provides for uncertain tax positions based upon management’s assessment of whether a tax benefit is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. Management is required to determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Because assumptions are used in determining whether a tax benefit is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities, actual results may differ from the Company’s estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Inflation

 

During 2023, global markets continued to experience significant volatility, driven by concerns over persistent inflation, rising interest rates, slowing economic growth and geopolitical uncertainty. Inflation persisted at multi-decade highs in many major economies around the world, prompting central banks to pursue monetary policy tightening actions that are likely to continue to create headwinds to economic growth.

 

Substantially all of the Company’s tenant leases contain provisions designed to partially mitigate the negative impact of inflation in the near term. Such lease provisions include clauses that require tenants to reimburse the Company for inflation-sensitive costs such as real estate taxes or insurance and many of the operating expenses it incurs. The Company has not been materially impacted in the current period by rising interest rates as all of its debt is currently effectively fixed-rate financing as of September 30, 2023. Significant inflation rate increases or heightened interest rates over a prolonged period of time may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business. It remains difficult to predict the full impact of recent events and any future changes in interest rates or inflation.

 

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

FFO and Adjusted FFO

 

FFO is a widely recognized supplemental non-GAAP measure utilized to evaluate the financial performance of a REIT. The Company presents FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT generally defines FFO as net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of real estate properties, impairment write-downs on real estate properties directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and adjustments for partnerships and joint ventures to reflect FFO on the same basis. The Company considers FFO to be an appropriate measure of its financial performance because it captures features particular to real estate performance by recognizing that real estate generally appreciates over time or maintains residual value to a much greater extent than other depreciable assets.

 

The Company also considers Adjusted Funds From Operations (“Adjusted FFO”) to be an additional meaningful financial measure of financial performance as it provides supplemental information concerning our operating performance, exclusive of certain non-cash items and other costs. The Company believes Adjusted FFO further assists in comparing the Company’s performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding such items.

 

FFO and Adjusted FFO should be reviewed with net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, when trying to understand the Company’s operating performance. FFO and

 

38

 


 

Adjusted FFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders or to cash flow from operating activities. The Company’s computations of FFO and Adjusted FFO may differ from the computations utilized by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such REITs.

 

A reconciliation of net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders to FFO and Adjusted FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, is as follows:

Net Asset Value

 

The Company calculates NAV per share in accordance with the valuation guidelines that have been approved by our Trustee. Our Trustee has adopted valuation procedures, as amended from time to time, that contain a comprehensive set of methodologies to be used in connection with the calculation of our NAV. To calculate our NAV for the purpose of establishing a purchase and redemption price for our shares, our Trustee has adopted a model which adjusts the value of certain of our investments in real estate assets from historical cost to fair value. Our Trustee oversees the process of determining our estimated NAV per share, which includes considering estimated values of our commercial real estate assets and investments, including related liabilities, based upon, in certain instances, reports of the discounted cash flows generated by the underlying real estate provided by an independent valuation firm. The Trustee, upon its receipt and review of such valuation report, will determine a reasonable range for our estimated NAV per share and an estimated NAV per share. The independent valuation firm is not responsible for, and does not prepare, our NAV per share. The final determination of our NAV per share is made by our Trustee. The estimated NAV per share will represent approximately the mid-point of the range of values reflecting the effect of using different discount rates and terminal capitalization rates in the sensitivity analysis. Such NAV may be declared prior to the finalization, and ultimate issuance, of our quarterly or annual financial statements which may result in an immaterial variance in the declared NAV per share to the final reconciliation of NAV per share after the review and issuance of such financial statements is completed. If any such variance was ever determined to be material, our Trustee would declare a revised NAV per share for the quarter. Our Trustee has used the mid-point of the independent valuation firm’s real estate value range in setting the NAV per share since our formation.

 

We will cause our real property portfolio to be valued quarterly by an independent valuation firm, which will apply the fair value methodologies detailed within the Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. An independent valuation firm will review information provided by our Trustee regarding the properties we

 

39

 


 

own as of the end of the quarter including location, building size, tenancy, lease rates, lease term and various other relevant metrics. The independent valuation firm will also research and analyze market data and valuation benchmarks in connection with each quarterly valuation. The independent valuation firm will principally focus on the income approach with each quarterly valuation and may perform the following actions in connection with its quarterly valuations:

 

Hold interviews with the employees of our Trustee regarding historical valuation methodology, expertise of the portfolio, and industry expertise;
Independently research comparable portfolio transactions and individual property transactions;
Review third party market reports; and
Perform a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) approach on our portfolio.

 

In performing each quarterly valuation, our Trustee will provide the independent valuation firm with certain data, including but not limited to the following:

 

Real property listing: a master list of all leased properties including all relevant details of each such property including location, lease terms, and other relevant factors.
Leases and lease amendments: the lease files provide data such as property type, address, lease terms and rent details for the leased real property.
Estoppels and move-in notices: the documents utilized to verify commencement of leases for build-to-suit properties.
Property surveys: the documents that verify the size of each leased premise.

 

The Company’s total NAV presented in the following tables includes the NAV of our Class A, I and S Common Shares, as well as the OP Units as of September 30, 2023 and per share/unit is identical for Class A, I and S Common Shares and OP Units.

The Company’s investments in real estate are presented under historical cost in our GAAP unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. As such, any increases or decreases in the fair market value of the Company’s investments in real estate are not recorded in the Company’s GAAP results other than in the event of an impairment or upon a sale. The Company’s mortgage loans payable and revolving credit facilities are valued at GAAP carrying value in the Company’s NAV calculation for any financings that are anticipated to be held to maturity. In addition, because the Company plans to utilize interest rate hedges to stabilize interest payments (i.e. to fix all-in interest rates through interest rate swaps or to limit interest rate exposure through interest rate caps) on individual loans and intends to hold each interest rate hedge until maturity, each interest rate hedge will be valued at par and thus its market value in accordance with GAAP will be excluded from the calculation of NAV. The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement concurrent with the closing of the $26.9 million mortgage entered into in February 2023. At September 30, 2023, $0.3 million is included in other assets relating to the fair value of this interest rate swap agreement, which was not included for the calculation of NAV.

 

While the Company believes that the independent valuation firm’s assumptions and inputs are reasonable, a change in these assumptions and inputs may significantly impact the fair value of the real estate properties and the Company’s estimated NAV per share. For purposes of determining the Company’s NAV, the Company’s investments in real estate as of (1) September 30, 2023 are recorded at fair value using a weighted average discount rate of 6.60% with a range of 6.50% to 6.70% and weighted average exit capitalization rate of 5.75% with a range of 5.65% to 5.85% and (2) December 31, 2022 are recorded at fair value using a weighted average discount rate of 6.35% with a range of 6.25% to 6.45% and weighted average exit capitalization rate of 5.65% with a range of 5.55% to 5.75%. Assuming all other factors remain unchanged, the tables below present the estimated increase or decrease to the Company’s September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 NAV for the changes in the weighted average discount and exit capitalization rate.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported

 

41

 


 

within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules, forms and regulations and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management carries out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of each fiscal quarter. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2023.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

We and our Trustee may from time to time be a party to legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of our business. The Company’s management is not aware of any current or pending legal proceedings to which we or any of our subsidiaries, or the Trustee, are a party or to which any of our property is subject, the outcome of which would, in management’s judgment based on information currently available, have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition, nor is management aware of any such legal proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities.

 

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

The risk factors affecting the Company are described in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 7, 2023. There have been no material changes from these previously disclosed risk factors for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

 

ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities, Use of Proceeds, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

 

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

Private Offering of Common Shares

 

On February 28, 2019, we commenced private placement offerings of our Class I and Class A Common Shares, the terms of which have been updated from time to time (the “Private Offering”). Upon the receipt of investment proceeds from the offering of our common shares, we transfer the net investment proceeds to our Operating Partnership in exchange for OP Units to be held by the Company. The offerings had an initial aggregate offering amount of $100,000,000, which has since been increased by the Trustee to the current aggregate offering amount of $2.165 billion. The common shares are being sold only for cash. The offering does not have a defined expiration date and will be left open to investors until the Trustee determines to terminate the offering. We also have offered the common shares at various offering prices, as determined by the Trustee, effective at various intervals. From the inception of the Private Offering until July 5, 2023, we offered the common shares in the Private Offering in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Commencing on July 6, 2023, we began conducting the Private Offering under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D, and began accepting subscriptions for investments under those terms for purchases closing on or after August 1, 2023. As of that date, subscriptions will be accepted solely from “accredited investors,” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, whose accredited investor status has been verified by us. Under Rule 506(c), general solicitation and advertisement of offerings is permitted, however all purchasers in the offering must be accredited investors and the Company must take reasonable steps to verify the accredited investor status of each purchaser, among other requirements. All sales of common shares described in this section sold from July 1, 2023 through July 31, 2023 were sold in reliance on the exemptions provided by Rule 506(b) of Regulation D and all sales of common shares sold August 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023 were sold in reliance on the exemptions provided by Rule 506(c) of Regulation D.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we sold common shares in the Private Offering, as set forth in the following table:

We have engaged broker-dealers who are registered with the SEC and members of the FINRA to act as our exclusive placement agents in connection with the Private Offering. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we paid aggregate selling commissions to these placement agents in connection with the Private Offering of $279,000, allocable among the various classes of our common shares as follows: $16,000 with respect to the Class I Common Shares; and $263,000 with respect to the Class A Common Shares.

 

Issuance of Common Shares to OP Unitholders

The holders of the Operating Partnership’s Class I Common Units have the right to cause their Class I Common Units to be redeemed by the Operating Partnership for cash, unless the Company, in its sole discretion, elects to purchase such Class I Common Units in exchange for Class I Common Shares of the Company, issuable on a 1:1 basis, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The Company currently intends to elect to pay the redemption price for all Class I Common Units tendered for redemption in the form of Class I Common Shares.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, holders of 58,996 Class I Common Units elected to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem their Class I Common Units, and the Company elected to purchase those units in exchange for the issuance of 58,996 Class I Common Shares. The Company did not pay any selling commissions in connection with the issuance of those common shares during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Share Repurchases

The Company has a share repurchase program to provide eligible shareholders with limited, interim liquidity by enabling them to sell shares back to the Company, subject to restrictions and applicable law, if such repurchases do not impair the capital or operations of the Company. The Company is structured to provide partial liquidity to investors through redemptions on a quarterly basis of up to 5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares per fiscal year pursuant to the share repurchase program. Affiliates may seek to have their shares repurchased on the same terms and limitations as the common shareholders. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, ExchangeRight’s $15.0 million investment in Class I Common Shares is not eligible for redemption pursuant to the share repurchase program. All shareholder requests to the Company for repurchases have been honored since the inception of the Company.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased common shares in the following amounts:
