Management Commentary

“STORE achieved strong momentum in the first half of 2019, posting AFFO growth of over 25% and diluted AFFO per share growth of about 10% compared to the first half of 2018,” said Chris Volk, President and Chief Executive Officer of STORE Capital. “We continued our robust pace of acquisitions in the second quarter, averaging more than $100 million in new assets each month and originating gross investments of $364 million at an average cap rate of 7.9%. Our granular growth combined with our 456 tenants further enhanced our portfolio diversity. Our top ten tenant exposure decreased to below 18% of revenues while we maintained our high level of contract quality and portfolio occupancy of 99.7%. Our leverage remains at the low end of our target levels and we have ample financing flexibility to fund our large pipeline of investment opportunities. At the same time, we increased our dividend protection – our dividend payout ratio for the second quarter decreased to 66.0% of AFFO per share from 68.9% in the year-ago quarter. Based on our performance in the first half of 2019, we are raising the low end of our 2019 AFFO per share guidance, resulting in a new range of $1.92 to $1.96 per share.”

Financial Results

Total Revenues

Total revenues were $163.8 million for the second quarter of 2019, an increase of 24.8% from $131.2 million for the second quarter of 2018.

Total revenues for the first half of 2019 were $320.4 million, an increase of 24.7% from $257.0 million for the first half of 2018. The increase was driven primarily by the growth in the size of STORE Capital’s real estate investment portfolio, which grew from $6.7 billion in gross investment amount representing 2,084 property locations and 412 customers at June 30, 2018 to $8.3 billion in gross investment amount representing 2,389 property locations and 456 customers at June 30, 2019.

Net Income

Net income was $68.0 million, or $0.30 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2019, as compared to $62.2 million, or $0.31 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2018. Net income for the second quarter of 2019 included an aggregate net gain on dispositions of real estate of $15.0 million as compared to an aggregate net gain on dispositions of real estate of $20.0 million for the same period in 2018.

Net income includes such items as gain or loss on dispositions of real estate and provisions for impairment, which can vary from quarter to quarter and impact net income and period-to-period comparisons.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $113.5 million, or $0.50 per basic and diluted share, compared to $112.2 million, or $0.57 per basic and diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Net income for the first half of 2019 included an aggregate net gain on dispositions of real estate of $13.1 million as compared to $29.6 million for the same period in 2018.

Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)

AFFO increased 25.3% to $114.2 million, or $0.50 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2019, compared to AFFO of $91.1 million, or $0.46 per basic share and $0.45 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2018.

AFFO for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $222.0 million, or $0.99 per basic share and $0.98 per diluted share, an increase of 25.4% from $177.0 million, or $0.90 per basic share and $0.89 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The year-over-year increase in AFFO for the three- and six-month periods was primarily driven by additional rental revenues and interest income generated by the growth in the Company’s real estate investment portfolio.

Dividend Information

As previously announced, STORE Capital declared a regular quarterly cash dividend per common share of $0.33 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019. This dividend, totaling $76.0 million, was paid on July 15, 2019 to stockholders of record on June 28, 2019.

Real Estate Portfolio Highlights

Investment Activity

The Company originated $364.1 million of gross investments representing 79 property locations during the second quarter of 2019. These origination and other activities resulted in the creation of 19 new customer relationships. The investments had a weighted average initial cap rate of 7.9%. Total investment activity for the first half of 2019 was $757.3 million representing 162 property locations with a weighted average initial cap rate of 7.9%. The Company defines “initial cap rate” for property acquisitions as the initial annual cash rent divided by the purchase price of the property. STORE’s leases customarily have lease escalations, most of which are tied to the consumer price index and subject to a cap. For acquisitions made during the first six months of 2019, the weighted average annual lease escalation was 1.9%.

Disposition Activity

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company sold 26 properties and recognized an aggregate net gain on the dispositions of real estate of $13.1 million; 22 of these 26 properties were sold in the second quarter for an aggregate net gain of $15.0 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, proceeds from the dispositions of real estate aggregated $95.1 million as compared to an aggregate original investment amount of $98.4 million for the properties sold.

Portfolio

At June 30, 2019, STORE Capital’s real estate portfolio totaled $8.3 billion representing 2,389 property locations. Approximately 95% of the portfolio represents commercial real estate properties subject to long-term leases, 5% represents mortgage loans and financing receivables on commercial real estate properties and a nominal amount represents loans receivable secured by the tenants’ other assets. As of June 30, 2019, the portfolio’s annualized base rent and interest (based on rates in effect on June 30, 2019 for all lease and loan contracts) totaled $669.5 million as compared to $537.7 million a year ago. The weighted average non-cancelable remaining term of the leases at June 30, 2019 was approximately 14 years.

The Company’s portfolio of real estate investments is highly diversified across customers, brand names or business concepts, industries and geography. The following table presents a summary of the portfolio.

*

Based on annualized base rent and interest.

(1)

Represents the percentage of lease contracts that were created by STORE or contain preferred contract terms such as unit-level financial reporting, triple-net lease provisions and, when applicable, master lease provisions.

(2)

Represents the weighted average annual escalation rate of the entire portfolio as if all escalations occurred annually. For escalations based on a formula including CPI, assumes the stated fixed percentage in the contract or assumes 1.5% if no fixed percentage is in the contract. For contracts with no escalations remaining in the current lease term, assumes the escalation in the extension term. Calculation excludes contracts representing 0.2% of annualized base rent and interest where there are no further escalations remaining in the current lease term and there are no extension options.

(3)

The Company defines occupancy as a property being subject to a lease or loan contract. As of June 30, 2019, seven of the Company’s properties were vacant and not subject to a contract.

(4)

Represents the number of the Company’s investment locations that have been closed by the tenant but remain subject to a lease.

(5)

Percentage of investment portfolio in multiple properties with a single customer subject to master leases. Approximately 85% of the investment portfolio involves multiple properties with a single customer, whether or not subject to a master lease.

(6)

Represents the ratio of purchase price to replacement cost (new) at acquisition.

(7)

STORE Capital calculates a unit’s FCCR generally as the ratio of (i) the unit’s EBITDAR, less a standardized corporate overhead expense based on estimated industry standards, to (ii) the unit’s total fixed charges, which are its lease expense, interest expense and scheduled principal payments on indebtedness (if applicable). The 4‑Wall coverage ratio refers to a unit’s FCCR before taking into account standardized corporate overhead expense. The weighted average unit FCCR and 4‑Wall coverage ratios were 2.9x and 3.7x, respectively.

(8)

Represents the percentage of the Company’s contracts that have a STORE Score that is investment grade. The Company measures the credit quality of its portfolio on a contract-by-contract basis using the STORE Score, which is a proprietary risk measure reflective of both the credit risk of the Company’s tenants and the profitability of the operations at the properties. As of June 30, 2019, STORE Capital’s tenants had a median tenant credit profile of approximately ‘Ba3’ as measured by Moody’s Analytics RiskCalc rating scale. Considering the profitability of the operations at each of its properties and STORE’s assessment of the likelihood that each of the tenants will choose to continue to operate at the properties in the event of their insolvency, the credit quality of its contracts, or STORE Score, is enhanced to a median of ‘Baa3’.

Capital Transactions

The Company established a $750 million “at the market” equity distribution program, or ATM Program, in November 2018, and terminated its previous program. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company sold an aggregate of approximately 4.0 million common shares at a weighted average share price of $34.23 and raised approximately $135.7 million in net proceeds after the payment of sales agents’ commissions and offering expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company sold an aggregate of approximately 9.0 million common shares at a weighted average share price of $33.17 and raised approximately $294.0 million in net proceeds after the payment of sales agents’ commissions and offering expenses.

In February 2019, the Company completed its second public debt offering, issuing $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of unsecured, investment-grade rated 4.625% Senior Notes, due March 2029. The net proceeds from the issuance were used primarily to pay down amounts outstanding under the Company’s credit facility.

2019 Guidance

The Company is updating its 2019 AFFO per share guidance by raising the lower end of the expected range. The Company currently expects 2019 AFFO per share to be within a range of $1.92 to $1.96, up from $1.90 to $1.96 as initially presented in November 2018, based on projected 2019 annual real estate acquisition volume, net of projected property sales, of approximately $1.1 billion. This AFFO per share guidance equates to anticipated net income, excluding gains or losses on sales of property, of $0.88 to $0.91 per share, plus $0.97 to $0.98 per share of expected real estate depreciation and amortization, plus approximately $0.07 per share related to other items. The midpoint of the Company’s AFFO per share guidance is based on a weighted average initial cap rate on new acquisitions of 7.85% and target leverage in the range of 5½ to 6 times run-rate net debt to EBITDA. AFFO per share is sensitive to the timing and amount of real estate acquisitions, property dispositions and capital markets activities during the year, as well as to the spread achieved between the lease rates on new acquisitions and the interest rates on borrowings used to finance those acquisitions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

FFO and AFFO

STORE Capital’s reported results are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. The Company also discloses Funds from Operations, or FFO, and Adjusted Funds from Operations, or AFFO, both of which are non‑GAAP measures. Management believes these two non‑GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they are widely accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs. FFO and AFFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements; accordingly, they should not be considered alternatives to net income as a performance measure or to cash flows from operations as reported on a statement of cash flows as a liquidity measure and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures.

The Company computes FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income, excluding gains (or losses) from extraordinary items and sales of depreciable property, real estate impairment losses, and depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries.

To derive AFFO, the Company modifies the NAREIT computation of FFO to include other adjustments to GAAP net income related to certain revenues and expenses that have no impact on the Company’s long-term operating performance, such as straight-line rents, amortization of deferred financing costs and stock-based compensation. In addition, in deriving AFFO, the Company excludes certain other costs not related to its ongoing operations, such as the amortization of lease-related intangibles.

FFO is used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among the Company’s peers primarily because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains (or losses) on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. Management believes that AFFO provides more useful information to investors and analysts because it modifies FFO to exclude certain additional revenues and expenses such as straight-line rents, including construction period rent deferrals, and the amortization of deferred financing costs, stock-based compensation and lease-related intangibles as such items have no impact on long-term operating performance. As a result, the Company believes AFFO to be a more meaningful measurement of ongoing performance that allows for greater performance comparability. Therefore, the Company discloses both FFO and AFFO and reconciles them to the most appropriate GAAP performance metric, which is net income. STORE Capital’s FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
