“We are pleased with our 2021 results and the progress we have made on our operating strategy since the beginning of 2022,” said Aaron Halfacre, Chief Executive Officer. “Throughout 2021, beyond managing the portfolio during the pandemic, we were focused on our strategic repositioning. We ramped up investment activity in late 2021 and have since completed over $90 million of accretive acquisitions while at the same time increasing our weighted average lease term (“WALT”), reducing our office exposure, renewing leases, and maintaining our strong credit quality. Following our public offering and NYSE listing in February 2022, we are even better positioned to continue to execute on our portfolio growth strategy while creating long-term shareholder value.”

Business update for the first quarter ending March 31, 2022:

In January 2022, the Company invested $77.3 million in two properties at attractive weighted average cap rates as set forth in the above table. The acquisition of a KIA auto dealership property included the issuance of equity at $25.00 per share for approximately 47% of the purchase price and the refinancing of a $36 million mortgage on the property. On January 18, 2022, the Company obtained a $250 million credit facility from a syndicate of seven banks arranged by KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., BMO Capital Markets, The Huntington National Bank and Truist Securities, Inc.

In February 2022, the Company announced the pricing of an underwritten public offering of 40,000 shares of its Class C Common Stock at a price to the public of $25.00 per share. The shares of Class C Common Stock began trading on February 11, 2022, on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “MDV” and the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock trades on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “MDV.PA”. Additionally, on February 18, 2022, the Company announced the authorization of up to $20 million in repurchases of the Company’s outstanding common shares through December 31, 2022. During February 2022, the Company sold three office properties and one industrial property for aggregate net proceeds of $16.9 million.

As of March 23, 2022, Modiv’s 36-property real estate investment portfolio is comprised of approximately 40% industrial, 21% retail and 39% office (expressed as a percentage of annual base rent for the next twelve months). Office has been reduced 11% in the last three months and the Company believes it will be less than 20% of the portfolio within the next 12 months.

Financial review for the fourth quarter and full year ended 2021

Total Revenues

Total revenues were $7.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, a decrease of 11.7% from $8.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, reflecting the disposition of five properties during 2020 and five properties during 2021.

Total revenues for 2021 were $36.2 million, a decrease of 6.3% from $38.6 million for 2020, reflecting the dispositions described above, which were partially offset by the two acquisitions completed in the second half of 2021.

Operating Results

Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $3.1 million, or $0.41 per basic and diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2021, as compared to net income of $3.0 million, or $0.37 per basic share and $0.32 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2020.

Operating results include 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. The fourth quarter of 2021 included a $3.8 million intangible assets impairment charge due to termination of the crowdfunding program for raising capital and a net gain of $3.3 million on dispositions of real estate. The fourth quarter of 2020 included a $2.4 million net gain on dispositions of real estate.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $1.5 million, or $0.20 per basic and diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $49.1 million, or $6.14 per basic and diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2020. Net loss for 2021 included an aggregate net gain on dispositions of real estate of $7.8 million and an intangible assets impairment charge of $3.8 million, as compared to an aggregate net gain on dispositions of real estate of $4.1 million and $34.6 million of impairment charges for goodwill and intangibles, and $10.3 million of real estate impairment charges for the same period in 2020.

Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)

AFFO increased 41% to $2.4 million, or $0.32 per basic share and $0.27 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2021, from AFFO of $1.7 million, or $0.22 per basic share and $0.19 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2020. AFFO for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased 20% to $11.4 million, or $1.51 per basic share and $1.30 per diluted share, from AFFO of $9.5 million, or $1.19 per basic share and $1.03 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2020.

AFFO for the year ended December 31, 2021 rose primarily as a result of a decrease in interest expense, partially offset by the decrease in revenue during 2021 compared with 2020.

AFFO is a measure that is not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). See the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures later in this press release.

Dividend Information

As previously announced, Modiv declared a monthly cash dividend per common share of $0.09583 payable to common stockholders of record as of February 28, 2022, March 31, 2022, April 29, 2022, May 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022 which will be paid on or about March 25, 2022, April 25, 2022, May 25, 2022, June 27, 2022 and July 25, 2022, respectively. The current monthly dividend amount of $0.09583 per share represents an annualized dividend rate of $1.15 per share of common stock.

Real Estate Portfolio Highlights

Investment Activity

The Company spent the majority of 2020 and early 2021 focused on repositioning its portfolio and monitoring the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. In mid-2021, with portfolio stability achieved, Modiv began to deliberately ramp up its acquisition pipeline. During the second half of 2021, the Company originated $15.1 million of gross investments in two property acquisitions and in January 2022, the Company originated $77.3 million of gross investments in two property acquisitions. From July 1, 2021 through March 23, 2022, the Company originated $92.4 million of gross investments through four property acquisitions. The investments included two retail properties and two industrial properties at attractive weighted average cap rates as set forth in the above table.

The Company defines “initial cap rate” for property acquisitions as the initial annual cash rent divided by the purchase price of the property. The Company defines “weighted average cap rate” for property acquisitions as the average annual cash rent including rent escalations over the lease term, divided by the purchase price of the property. The vast majority of Modiv’s real estate leases have annual rent escalations, which generally range from 2-3%. For acquisitions made during the second half of 2021 through March 2022, the weighted average annual lease escalation was 2.1%.

Disposition Activity

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company sold five properties and recognized an aggregate net gain on the disposition of real estate of $7.8 million; one of these properties was sold in the fourth quarter for an aggregate net gain of $3.3 million. During February 2022, the Company sold three office properties and one industrial property for aggregate net proceeds of $16.9 million, which it plans to redeploy in future acquisitions.

Portfolio

As of December 31, the Company’s portfolio consisted of 38 properties, all of which are 100% owned, except one tenant-in-common real estate investment in which we own approximately 72.7%. The portfolio had approximately 2.4 million square feet of aggregate leasable space 100% leased to 31 different commercial tenants doing business in 14 separate industries in 14 states.

As of March 23, 2022, the Company’s portfolio consisted of 36 properties, all of which are 100% owned, except the tenant-in-common real estate investment discussed above. The portfolio has approximately 2.3 million square feet of aggregate leasable space 100% leased to 29 different commercial tenants doing business in 16 separate industries in 14 states.

Pro forma annualized base rent (based on rates in effect on December 31, 2021 for all lease contracts), after reflecting the impact of the two acquisitions in January 2022 and four dispositions in February 2022, totaled $30.4 million. Approximately 56% of the Company's tenants are investment grade, and the pro forma portfolio’s weighted average lease term was 9.2 years as of December 31, 2021.

Capital Transactions, Balance Sheet and Liquidity

On February 10, 2022, the Company announced the pricing of an underwritten public offering of 40,000 shares of its Class C Common Stock at a price to the public of $25.00 per share. The shares of Class C Common Stock began trading on February 11, 2022, on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “MDV,” and the offering closed on February 15, 2022. The purpose of this offering was to facilitate the listing of Modiv’s Class C Common Stock previously raised via crowdfunding technology and provide liquidity for the Company’s existing stockholders.

On February 18, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized up to $20 million in repurchases of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock through December 31, 2022. Purchases made pursuant to the program will be made from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or in any other manner as permitted by federal securities laws and other legal requirements. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined by the Company in its discretion and will be subject to economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Total cash and cash equivalents were $56 million as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $183 million of outstanding indebtedness consisting of $175 million of mortgages and $8 million outstanding on the Company’s credit facility. On January 18, 2022, $108 million of mortgages and the $8 million balance on the credit facility were refinanced upon the closing of the new $250 million credit facility described above. The Company also borrowed $36 million under the new credit facility to refinance the mortgage on one of the properties acquired in January 2022 and an additional $22 million of mortgages were repaid in connection with the February asset sales described above. After taking into account the new credit facility, the two acquisitions in January 2022 and four dispositions in February 2022, the Company’s pro forma leverage (defined as debt as a percentage of the aggregate fair value of the Company's real estate properties plus the Company’s cash and cash equivalents) as of December 31, 2021 was 39%.

After making a $35 million prepayment on the credit facility in early March, the Company has $45 million of mortgages and $121 million outstanding under its credit facility as of March 23, 2022, with available borrowing capacity of approximately $80 million.

Until the Company achieves scale with total assets of at least $1.0 billion, it is targeting a leverage ratio of 40% with a long-term goal of reducing leverage upon reaching scale.

FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, and gains and losses from sales of depreciable operating property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures, preferred distributions and real estate impairments. Because FFO calculations adjust for such items as depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and gains and losses from sales of operating real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), they facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs. As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our competitors and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities. It should be noted, however, that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current Nareit definition or may interpret the current Nareit definition differently than we do, making comparisons less meaningful.

Additionally, we use AFFO as a non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate our operating performance. AFFO excludes non-routine and certain non-cash items such as revenues in excess of cash received, amortization of stock-based compensation, deferred rent, amortization of in-place lease valuation intangibles, acquisition-related costs, deferred financing fees, gain or loss from the extinguishment of debt, unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, write-offs of transaction costs and other one-time transactions. We also believe that AFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the REIT industry. Further, we believe AFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies. Management believes that AFFO is a beneficial indicator of our ongoing portfolio performance and ability to sustain our current distribution level. More specifically, AFFO isolates the financial results of our operations. AFFO, however, is not considered an appropriate measure of historical earnings as it excludes certain significant costs that are otherwise included in reported earnings. Further, since the measure is based on historical financial information, AFFO for the period presented may not be indicative of future results or our future ability to pay our dividends.

By providing FFO and AFFO, we present information that assists investors in aligning their analysis with management’s analysis of long-term operating activities. For all of these reasons, we believe the non-GAAP measures of FFO and AFFO, in addition to income (loss) from operations, net income (loss) and cash flows from operating activities, as defined by GAAP, are helpful supplemental performance measures and useful to investors in evaluating the performance of our real estate portfolio. However, a material limitation associated with FFO and AFFO is that they are not indicative of our cash available to fund distributions since other uses of cash, such as capital expenditures at our properties and principal payments of debt, are not deducted when calculating FFO and AFFO. AFFO is useful in assisting management and investors in assessing our ongoing ability to generate cash flow from operations and continue as a going concern in future operating periods. However, FFO and AFFO are not useful measures in evaluating NAV because impairments are taken into account in determining NAV but not in determining FFO and AFFO. Therefore, FFO and AFFO should not be viewed as a more prominent measure of performance than income (loss) from operations, net income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities and each should be reviewed in connection with GAAP measurements.

Neither the SEC, Nareit, nor any other applicable regulatory body has opined on the acceptability of the adjustments contemplated to adjust FFO in order to calculate AFFO and its use as a non-GAAP performance measure. In the future, the SEC or Nareit may decide to standardize the allowable exclusions across the REIT industry, and we may have to adjust the calculation and characterization of this non-GAAP measure.

We define Net Debt as gross debt less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. We define Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude real estate related depreciation and amortization, gains or losses from the sales of depreciable property, extraordinary items, provisions for impairment on investment in real estate and cash interest expense and non-cash items such as non-cash compensation expenses. We believe these 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. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and our EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. You should not consider our EBITDA as an alternative to net income or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP.
