Explanatory Note

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 of Spirit Realty Capital, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and Spirit Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company” refer to Spirit Realty Capital, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including Spirit Realty, L.P. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references to the “Operating Partnership” refer to Spirit Realty, L.P. together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

Spirit General OP Holdings, LLC ("OP Holdings") is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Company is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") and the sole member of OP Holdings, as well as the special limited partner of the Operating Partnership. As sole member of the general partner of our Operating Partnership, our Company has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for our Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management and control.

We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of our Company and Operating Partnership into a single report results in the following benefits:

• enhancing investors’ understanding of our Company and Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole, reflective of how management views and operates the business;

• eliminating duplicative disclosure and providing a streamlined presentation as a substantial portion of the disclosures apply to both our Company and Operating Partnership; and

• creating time and cost efficiencies by preparing one combined report in lieu of two separate reports.

There are a few differences between our Company and Operating Partnership, which are reflected in the disclosures in this report. We believe it is important to understand these differences in the context of how we operate as an interrelated, consolidated company. Our Company is a REIT, the only material assets of which are the partnership interests in our Operating Partnership. As a result, our Company does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole member of the general partner of our Operating Partnership, issuing equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debt of our Operating Partnership. Our Operating Partnership holds substantially all the assets of our Company. Our Company issued convertible notes and guarantees some of the debt of our Operating Partnership. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements included herein for further discussion. Our Operating Partnership conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes and equity issuances by our Company, which are generally contributed to our Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units of our Operating Partnership, our Operating Partnership generates the capital required by our Company’s business through our Operating Partnership’s operations or our Operating Partnership’s incurrence of indebtedness.

The presentation of stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of our Company and those of our Operating Partnership. The partnership units in our Operating Partnership are accounted for as partners’ capital in our Operating Partnership’s consolidated financial statements. There are no non-controlling interests in the Company or the Operating Partnership.

To help investors understand the significant differences between our Company and our Operating Partnership, this report presents the consolidated financial statements separately for our Company and our Operating Partnership. All other sections of this report, including “Selected Financial Data,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” are presented together for our Company and our Operating Partnership.

In order to establish that the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of each entity have made the requisite certifications and that our Company and Operating Partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, and 18 U.S.C. §1350, this report also includes separate “Item 4. Controls and Procedures” sections and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for each of our Company and our Operating Partnership.

Note 1. Organization

Organization and Operations

Spirit Realty Capital, Inc. (the "Corporation" or "Spirit" or, with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company") operates as a self-administered and self-managed REIT that seeks to generate and deliver sustainable and attractive returns for stockholders by primarily investing in and managing a portfolio of single-tenant, operationally essential real estate throughout the U.S. that is generally leased on a long-term, triple-net basis to tenants operating within retail, office, industrial and data center property types. Single tenant, operationally essential real estate generally refers to free-standing, commercial real estate facilities where tenants conduct activities that are essential to the generation of their sales and profits. The Company began operations through a predecessor legal entity in 2003.

The Company’s operations are generally carried out through Spirit Realty, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") and its subsidiaries. Spirit General OP Holdings, LLC ("OP Holdings"), one of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, is the sole general partner and owns approximately 1% of the Operating Partnership. The Corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary ("Spirit Notes Partner, LLC") are the only limited partners and together own the remaining 99% of the Operating Partnership.

On May 31, 2018 (the "Distribution Date"), the Company completed the spin-off (the "Spin-Off") of the assets that collateralized Master Trust 2014, properties leased to Shopko, and certain other assets into an independent, publicly traded REIT, Spirit MTA REIT ("SMTA"). For periods prior to the Spin-Off, the historical financial results of SMTA are reflected in our consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Operating Partnership have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements include the normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the information required to be set forth therein. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. Certain information and note disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to SEC rules and regulations and, accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as filed with the SEC in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership include the accounts of the Operating Partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company also consolidates a variable interest entity ("VIE") when the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary. Determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE is based on whether an entity has (1) the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company's determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE considers all relationships between the Company and the VIE, including management agreements and other contractual arrangements. The Company evaluated SMTA under ASC 810 Consolidation at time of Spin-Off and continues to evaluate quarterly thereafter. As a result of this analysis, the Company concluded that while it has variable interests in SMTA, SMTA is not a VIE. Control of SMTA is therefore evaluated under the voting interest model and does not require consolidation by the Company.

All expenses incurred by the Company have been allocated to the Operating Partnership in accordance with the Operating Partnership's first amended and restated agreement of limited partnership, which management determined to be a reasonable method of allocation. Therefore, expenses incurred would not be materially different if the Operating Partnership had operated as an unaffiliated entity.

These consolidated financial statements include certain special purpose entities that were formed to acquire and hold real estate encumbered by indebtedness (see Note 4). Each special purpose entity is a separate legal entity and is the sole owner of its assets and responsible for its liabilities. The assets of these special purpose entities are not available to pay, or otherwise satisfy obligations to, the creditors of any affiliate or owner of another entity unless the special purpose entities have expressly agreed and are permitted to do so under their governing documents. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, net assets totaling $0.48 billion and $0.90 billion, respectively, were held, and net liabilities totaling $0.30 billion and $0.48 billion, respectively, were owed by these encumbered special purpose entities and are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Discontinued Operations

A discontinued operation represents: (i) a component of an entity or group of components that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale in a single transaction and represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results or (ii) an acquired business that is classified as held for sale on the date of acquisition. Examples of a strategic shift include disposing of: (i) a separate major line of business, (ii) a separate major geographic area of operations, or (iii) other major parts of the Company. The Company determined that the Spin-Off represented a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company's results and, therefore, SMTA 's operations qualify as discontinued operations. See Note 12 for further discussion on discontinued operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management believes its estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment Reporting

The Company views its operations as one segment, which consists of net leasing operations. The Company has no other reportable segments.

Revenue Recognition

Rental Income: Cash and Straight-line Rent

The Company primarily leases real estate to its tenants under long-term, triple-net leases that are classified as operating leases. To evaluate lease classification, the Company assesses the terms and conditions of the lease to determine the appropriate lease term. For the majority of our operating leases at June 30, 2019, the lease includes one or more options to extend, typically for a period of five to ten years per renewal option. Excluding Walgreen Co., less than 1% of the Company's operating leases at June 30, 2019 include an option to terminate. Walgreen Co. leases are generally for fifty years or more with several five-year termination periods after an initial non-cancelable term. For less than 6% of operating leases at June 30, 2019, the lease includes an option to purchase, where the purchase option is generally determined based on fair market value of the underlying property. The Company does not include any of these options in its evaluation for lease classification purposes or for recognizing rental income unless the Company is reasonably certain the tenant will exercise the option. 

Another component of lease classification which requires significant assumptions and judgment is the amount expected to be derived from the property at the end of the lease term. Generally, the Company assumes a value that is equal to net book value of the property at the date of the assessment, as the Company generally expects fair value to be equal to or greater than net book value. The Company seeks to protect residual value through its underwriting of acquisitions, incorporating the proprietary Spirit Property Ranking Model which is real estate centric. Once a property is acquired, the lessee is responsible for maintenance of the property, including insurance protecting any damage to the property. To further protect residual value, the Company supplements the tenant insurance policy with a master policy covering all properties owned by the Company. As an active manager, the Company will occasionally invest in capital improvements on properties, re-lease properties to new tenants or extend lease terms to protect residual value.

Some of the Company’s leases provide for contingent rent based on a percentage of the tenant’s gross sales. For contingent rentals that are based on a percentage of the tenant’s gross sales, the Company recognizes contingent rental revenue when the change in the factor on which the contingent lease payment is based actually occurs.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (continued)

June 30, 2019

(Unaudited)

The Company’s leases generally provide for rent escalations throughout the lease terms. For leases that have contingent rent escalators indexed to future changes in the CPI, they may adjust over a one-year period or over multiple-year periods. Typically, these CPI-based escalators increase rent at a multiple of any increase in the CPI over a specified period. Because of the volatility and uncertainty with respect to future changes in the CPI and the Company’s inability to determine the extent to which any specific future change in the CPI is probable at each rent adjustment date during the entire term of these leases, increases in rental revenue from leases with this type of escalator are recognized when the changes in the rental rates have occurred.

For leases that provide for fixed contractual escalations, rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis to produce a constant periodic rent over the term of the lease. Accordingly, accrued rental revenue, calculated as the aggregate difference between the rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis and scheduled rents, represents unbilled rent receivables that the Company will receive only if the tenants make all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the leases.

Rental income is subject to an evaluation for collectability, which includes management’s estimates of amounts that will not be realized based on an assessment of the risks inherent in the portfolio, considering historical experience, as well as the tenant's payment history and financial condition. The Company records a provision for losses against rental income for amounts that are not probable of collection.

Rental Income: Tenant Reimbursement Revenue

Under a triple-net lease, the tenant is typically responsible for all improvements and is contractually obligated to pay all property operating expenses, such as real estate taxes, insurance premiums and repair and maintenance costs. Certain leases contain additional amounts recoverable from tenants for common area maintenance expenses and certain other recoverable expenses, which are non-lease components. The Company has elected to combine all its nonlease components, which were determined to have the same pattern of transfer as the related operating lease component, into a single combined lease component. Tenant reimbursement revenue is variable and is recognized as revenue in the period in which the related expenses are incurred, with the related expense included in property costs (including reimbursable). Tenant reimbursements are recorded on a gross basis in instances when our tenants reimburse us for property costs which we incur. Tenant receivables are carried net of any allowances for amounts that are not probable of collection.

Rental Income: Intangible Amortization

Initial direct costs associated with the origination of a lease are deferred and amortized over the related lease term as an adjustment to rental revenue. In-place lease intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining initial term of the related lease and included in depreciation and amortization expense. Above-market lease intangibles are amortized over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases as a decrease in rental revenue. Below-market lease intangibles are amortized as an increase to rental revenue over the remaining initial term of the respective leases, but may be amortized over the renewal periods if the Company believes it is reasonably certain the tenant will exercise the renewal option. If the Company believes it is reasonably certain a lease will terminate early, the unamortized portion of any related lease intangible is immediately recognized in impairments in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company reviews its rent and other tenant receivables for collectability on a regular basis, taking into consideration changes in factors such as the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates, and economic conditions in the area in which the tenant operates. If the collectability of a receivable with respect to any tenant is in doubt, a provision for uncollectible amounts will be established or a direct write-off of the specific receivable will be made. The Company provided for reserves for uncollectible amounts totaling $2.9 million and $4.9 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, against accounts receivable balances of $9.7 million and $12.4 million, respectively. Receivables are recorded within deferred costs and other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Receivables are written off against the reserves for uncollectible amounts when all possible means of collection have been exhausted.

For receivable balances related to the straight-line method of reporting rental revenue, the collectability is assessed in conjunction with the evaluation of rental income as described above. The Company has a reserve for losses of $0.7 million and $1.1 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, against straight-line receivables of $74.9 million and $69.4 million, respectively. These receivables are recorded within deferred costs and other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investment securities with maturities at acquisition of three months or less. The Company invests cash primarily in money market funds of major financial institutions with fund investments consisting of highly-rated money market instruments and other short-term investments. Restricted cash is classified within deferred costs and other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash consisted of the following (in thousands):

	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018		June 30, 2018
Cash and cash equivalents	$	9,984	$	14,493	$	9,289
Restricted cash:

Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	20,989	$	77,421	$	27,658

⁽¹⁾ Funds held in lender-controlled accounts generally used to meet future debt service or certain property operating expenses.

⁽²⁾ Deposits held as additional collateral support by lenders to fund improvements, repairs and leasing commissions incurred to secure a new tenant.

⁽³⁾ Proceeds from the sale of assets pledged as collateral under the Master Trust 2013 notes, which are held on deposit until a qualifying substitution is made or the funds are applied as prepayment of principal. The Master Trust 2013 notes were extinguished in June 2019. See Note 4 for additional detail.

⁽⁴⁾ Funds held in lender-controlled accounts released after scheduled debt service requirements are met.

Goodwill

Goodwill arises from business combinations and represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the net fair value amounts that were assigned to the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value. No impairment was recorded for the periods presented.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax provided it continues to satisfy certain tests concerning the Company’s sources of income, the nature of its assets, the amounts distributed to its stockholders and the ownership of Company stock. Management believes the Company has qualified and will continue to qualify as a REIT and therefore, no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to state and local income and franchise taxes, and to federal income tax and excise tax on its undistributed income. Taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through any of the Company's taxable REIT subsidiaries is subject to federal, state, and local taxes, which are not material.

The Operating Partnership is a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Partnerships are pass-through entities and are not subject to U.S. federal income taxes, therefore no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying financial statements. Although most states and cities where the Operating Partnership operates follow the U.S. federal income tax treatment, there are certain jurisdictions such as Texas, Tennessee and Ohio that impose income or franchise taxes on a partnership.

Franchise taxes are included in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes the existing guidance for lease accounting Leases (Topic 840). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize leases on their balance sheets, and leaves lessor accounting largely unchanged. Leases pursuant to which the Company is the lessee consist of its corporate office, ground leases and equipment leases. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years, and as such, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019. ASU 2016-02 requires a modified retrospective approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to elect to use certain transition relief as follows:

• The Company elected to use the package of practical expedients, which permits the Company to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) any initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the effective date.

• The Company elected to use the comparative period expedient, which permits the Company to recognize any cumulative adjustments as of the date of initial application and not record adjustments to prior reported periods. As a result of this election, bad debt expense is being presented in "rental income" on a prospective basis, compared to "property costs (including reimbursable)" for periods prior to January 1, 2019. Bad debt (recovery) expense was $(0.6) million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The adoption of the lease standard did not result in a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening equity.

• The Company elected to use the land easements expedient, which permits the Company to not reassess land easements for potential lease classification.

• The Company elected to use the components expedient, which permits the Company to not separate nonlease components from lease components if timing and pattern of transfer is the same. The Company elected this expedient for all lessee and lessor operating leases, where certain leases contain nonlease components related to tenant reimbursement, and concluded that the leasing component is the predominant component.

• The Company elected not to use the hindsight expedient, which would require the re-evaluation of the lease term on all leases using current facts and circumstances.

As a lessee, the Company recognized the right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities for our operating leases of $6.4 million and $8.6 million, respectively, on January 1, 2019, which are included in deferred costs and other assets, net and accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. As a lessor, our recognition of rental income remained materially consistent with previous guidance, apart from expanded disclosure requirements. As such, the Company concludes that the overall impact of the ASU had no material impact on the Company's reported revenues, results of operations or financial position.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires more timely recognition of credit losses associated with financial assets. ASU 2016-13 requires financial assets (or a group of financial assets) measured at an amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Per the subsequently issued ASU 2018-19, receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of ASU 2016-13. As such, the Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements, but does not expect its impact to be material.

Note 3. Investments

As of June 30, 2019, the Company's gross investment in real estate properties and loans totaled approximately $5.4 billion, representing investments in 1,606 properties, including 43 properties securing mortgage loans. The gross investment is comprised of land, buildings, lease intangible assets and lease intangible liabilities, as adjusted for any impairment, and the carrying amount of loans receivable, real estate assets held under direct financing leases and real estate assets held for sale. The portfolio is geographically dispersed throughout 48 states with Texas, at 11.9%, as the only state with a Real Estate Investment Value greater than 10% of the Real Estate Investment Value of the Company's entire portfolio.

the 2019 Credit Facility bore interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 1.10% per annum and the aggregate revolving commitments incurred a facility fee of 0.25% per annum.

In connection with entering into the 2019 Credit Facility, the Company incurred costs of $4.8 million. These deferred financing costs are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining initial term of the 2019 Credit Facility. The unamortized deferred financing costs relating to the 2019 Credit Facility were $4.3 million as of June 30, 2019, compared to $0.4 million relating to the 2015 Credit Facility as of December 31, 2018, and are recorded in deferred costs and other assets, net on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

As of June 30, 2019, the full $800.0 million of borrowing capacity was available under the 2019 Credit Facility. No outstanding letters of credit existed under the agreement as of June 30, 2019. The Operating Partnership's ability to borrow under the 2019 Credit Facility is subject to ongoing compliance with a number of customary financial covenants and other customary affirmative and negative covenants.

The Operating Partnership had an unsecured term loan facility, the 2015 Term Loan, which had a facility size of $420.0 million at December 31, 2018.

The A-2 Term Loans include an accordion feature providing for an additional $200.0 million of term loans, subject to satisfying certain requirements and obtaining additional lender commitments. The Company drew on the A-2 Term Loans to retire the 2.875% Convertible Notes upon their maturity in May 2019.

As of June 30, 2019, the A-1 Term Loans and A-2 Term Loans bore interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 1.00% per annum based on the Operating Partnership's credit rating.

In connection with entering into the A-1 Term Loans and A-2 Term Loans, the Company incurred origination costs of $6.5 million. These deferred financing costs are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining initial term of the term loans. The unamortized deferred financing costs relating to the A-1 Term Loans and A-2 Term Loans were $5.7 million as of June 30, 2019, compared to $0.4 million related to the 2015 Term Loan as of December 31, 2018, and are recorded net against the principal balance of mortgages and notes payable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

As of June 30, 2019, the A-1 Term Loans had a $420.0 million outstanding balance and the A-2 Term Loans had a $400.0 million outstanding balance, with no available borrowing capacity. The Operating Partnership's ability to borrow under the term loans is subject to ongoing compliance with a number of customary financial covenants and other customary affirmative and negative covenants.

As of June 30, 2019, the Corporation and the Operating Partnership were in compliance with these financial covenants.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the Senior Unsecured Notes are redeemed three months or less prior to their respective maturity dates, the redemption price will not include a make-whole premium.  

In connection with the 2016 offering, the Operating Partnership incurred $3.4 million in deferred financing costs and an offering discount of $1.9 million. In connection with the 2019 offering, the Operating Partnership incurred $3.8 million in deferred financing costs and an offering discount of $0.3 million. These amounts are being amortized to interest expense over the lives of the respective Senior Unsecured Notes.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company and the Operating Partnership were in compliance with these financial covenants.

Master Trust Notes

Master Trust 2013 is an asset-backed securitization platform through which the Company has raised capital through the issuance of non-recourse net-lease mortgage notes collateralized by commercial real estate, net-leases and mortgage loans. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company elected to retire the Master Trust 2013 notes, which had one series of notes outstanding, Series 2013-2 Class A, with a stated interest rate of 5.27%. These notes were issued by a single indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company which is a bankruptcy-remote, special purpose entity, and were secured by 267 owned and financed properties at time of repayment. As a result of the early repayment, the properties securing the notes became unencumbered and the Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $14.7 million.

CMBS

As of June 30, 2019, indirect wholly-owned special purpose entity subsidiaries of the Company were borrowers under six fixed-rate non-recourse loans, which have been securitized into CMBS and are secured by the borrowers' respective leased properties and related assets. The stated interest rates of the loans as of June 30, 2019 ranged from 4.67% to 6.00%, with a weighted average stated interest rate of 5.35%. As of June 30, 2019, the loans were secured by 100 properties. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the unamortized deferred financing costs associated with these fixed-rate loans were $2.9 million and $3.2 million, respectively, and the unamortized net offering premium was $0.1 million as of both periods. Both the deferred financing costs and offering premium were recorded net against the principal balance of the mortgages and notes payable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the respective loans.

Related Party Mortgage Loans Payable

Wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company are the borrower on four mortgage loans payable held by SMTA and secured by six single-tenant commercial properties. In total, these mortgage notes had outstanding principal of $26.4 million and $27.9 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which is included in mortgages and notes payable, net on the consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2019, these mortgage notes had a weighted average stated interest rate of 1.00%, a weighted average term of 8.7 years and were eligible for early repayment without penalty. In conjunction with SMTA’s announced sale of Master Trust 2014, the Company has agreed to sell three of the underlying properties for gross proceeds of $55 million, which will result in the extinguishment of the mortgage loan which they collateralize. See Note 11 for additional detail.

Convertible Notes

In May 2014, the Company issued $402.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2.875% convertible notes due in 2019 and $345.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% convertible notes due in 2021. Proceeds from the issuance were contributed to the Operating Partnership and are recorded as a note payable to Spirit Realty Capital, Inc. on the consolidated balance sheets of the Operating Partnership. The 2019 Notes matured on May 15, 2019 and were settled in

cash. The 2021 Notes will mature on May 15, 2021 and interest is payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year.

The 2021 Notes are convertible only during certain periods and, subject to certain circumstances, into cash, shares of the Company's common stock, or a combination thereof. The initial conversion rate was 15.2727 per $1,000 principal note (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $65.48 per share of common stock, representing a 22.5% premium above the public offering price of the common stock offered concurrently at the time the 2021 Notes were issued). The conversion rate is subject to adjustment for certain anti-dilution events, including special distributions and regular quarterly cash dividends exceeding a current threshold of $0.73026 per share. As of June 30, 2019, the conversion rate was 17.4458 per $1,000 principal note, which reflects the adjustment from the SMTA dividend distribution related to the Spin-Off, in addition to the other regular dividends declared during the life of the Convertible Notes. Earlier conversion may be triggered if shares of the Company's common stock trade higher than the established thresholds, if the 2021 Notes trade below established thresholds, or certain corporate events occur.

In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company recorded a discount of $56.7 million, which represents the estimated value of the embedded conversion feature for each of the Convertible Notes. The discount is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of each of the 2019 Notes and 2021 Notes. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the unamortized discount was $8.8 million and $13.3 million, respectively. The discount is shown net against the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Convertible Notes on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The equity component of the conversion feature is recorded in capital in excess of par value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, net of financing transaction costs.

In connection with the offering, the Company also incurred $19.6 million in deferred financing costs. This amount has been allocated on a pro-rata basis to each of the Convertible Notes and is being amortized to interest expense over the term of each note. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the unamortized deferred financing costs relating to the Convertible Notes were $2.8 million and $4.3 million, respectively, and recorded net against the Convertible Notes principal balance on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Debt Extinguishment

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company retired the Master Trust 2013 notes, as discussed above, resulting in a loss on debt extinguishment of $14.7 million. The Company also extinguished $10.4 million principal amount of CMBS indebtedness on one defaulted loan, which was secured by one property and had a default interest rate of 9.85%, resulting in a gain on debt extinguishment of $9.5 million. Finally, as a result of the termination of the 2015 Credit Agreement and 2015 Term Loan Agreement, the Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $0.7 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company extinguished a total of $179.3 million aggregate principal amount of indebtedness, including the retirement of $123.1 million of Master Trust 2013 Series 2013-1 Class A notes and $56.2 million of CMBS debt. The debt extinguished had a weighted average contractual interest rate of 5.69%. As a result of these transactions, the Company recognized a net gain on debt extinguishment of approximately $26.7 million.

Note 5. Stockholders’ Equity and Partners' Capital

Common Stock

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, portions of restricted common stock awards granted to certain of the Company's officers and other employees vested. The vesting of these awards, granted pursuant to the Amended Incentive Award Plan, resulted in federal and state income tax liabilities for the recipients. As permitted by the terms of the Amended Incentive Award Plan and the award grants, certain executive officers and employees elected to surrender approximately 34 thousand shares of common stock valued at $1.4 million, solely to pay the associated statutory tax withholdings during the six months ended June 30, 2019. In May 2019, the Company entered into forward sale agreements with certain financial institutions acting as forward purchasers in connection with an offering of 11.5 million shares of common stock at an initial gross offering price of $41.00 per share, before underwriting discounts and offering expenses. The forward purchasers borrowed and sold an aggregate of 11.5 million shares of common stock in the offering. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of its shares of common stock by the forward purchasers at the time of the offering. The forward sale price that the Company will receive upon physical settlement of the agreements, which was initially $39.36 per share, will be subject to adjustment for (i) a floating interest rate factor equal to a specified daily rate less a spread, (ii) the forward purchasers' stock borrowing costs and (iii) scheduled dividends during the term of the forward sale agreements. As of June 30, 2019, 1.9 million of these shares had been settled, generating gross proceeds of $76.0 million.

Preferred Stock

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had 6.9 million shares of 6.00% Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. The Series A Preferred Stock pays cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 6.00% per annum on the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share (equivalent to $0.375 per share on a quarterly basis and $1.50 per share on an annual basis). For both the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company paid $5.2 million in Series A Preferred Stock dividends.

ATM Program

In November 2016, the Company's Board of Directors approved a new ATM Program and the Company terminated its existing program. The agreement provides for the offer and sale of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.05 par value per share (the “common stock”), having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $500.0 million through the agents, as its sales agents or, if applicable, as forward sellers for forward purchasers (as defined below), or directly to the agents acting as principals.

As of June 30, 2019, 2.4 million shares of the Company's common stock have been sold under the new ATM Program, of which 2.3 million were sold during the six months ended June 30, 2019 at a weighted average price per share of $39.19,

generating $91.4 million in gross proceeds. 1.8 million of these sales were through forward sales agreements, which were physically settled in shares. Aggregate gross proceeds capacity of $404.9 million remained available under the program as of June 30, 2019.

Stock Repurchase Programs

In May 2018, the Company's Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program, which authorizes the Company to repurchase up to $250.0 million of its common stock. These purchases can be made in the open market or through private transactions from time to time over the 18-month time period following authorization, depending on prevailing market conditions and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. Purchase activity will be dependent on various factors, including the Company's capital position, operating results, funds generated by asset sales, dividends that may be required by those sales, and investment options that may be available, including acquiring new properties or retiring debt. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be suspended at any time at the Company's discretion. As of June 30, 2019, no shares of the Company's common stock had been repurchased under the new program and the full $250.0 million in gross repurchase capacity remained available.

Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is periodically subject to claims or litigation in the ordinary course of business, including claims generated from business conducted by tenants on real estate owned by the Company. In these instances, the Company is typically indemnified by the tenant against any losses that might be suffered, and the Company and/or the tenant are typically insured against such claims. The Company is contingently liable for $5.7 million of debt owed by one of its former tenants until the maturity of the debt on March 15, 2022 and is indemnified by that former tenant for any payments the Company may be required to make on such debt. The Company has accrued the full $5.7 million liability in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets as of both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The Company estimates future costs for known environmental remediation requirements when it is probable that the Company has incurred a liability and the related costs can be reasonably estimated. The Company considers various factors when estimating its environmental liabilities, and adjustments are made when additional information becomes available that affects the estimated costs to study or remediate any environmental issues. When only a wide range of estimated amounts can be reasonably established and no other amount within the range is better than another, the low end of the range is recorded in the consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2019, no accruals have been made.

As of June 30, 2019, there were no outstanding claims against the Company that are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Purchase and Capital Improvement Commitments

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had commitments totaling $71.4 million, of which $38.7 million relates to future acquisitions, with the remainder to fund improvements on properties the Company currently owns. Commitments related to

(Unaudited)

acquisitions contain standard cancellation clauses contingent on the results of due diligence. $50.7 million of these commitments are expected to be funded during fiscal year 2019, with the remainder to be funded by 2021.

Lessee Contracts

The Company leases its corporate office space and certain office equipment, which are classified as operating leases. The Company's lease of its corporate office space has an initial term that expires on January 31, 2027 and is renewable at the Company's option for two additional periods of five years each after the initial term. The lease can be early terminated by the Company on July 31, 2023 for a fee based on rent at time of termination. The corporate office lease contains a variable lease cost related to the lease of parking spaces and a nonlease component related to the reimbursement of certain common area maintenance expenses, both of which are recognized as incurred.

The Company is also a lessee under four long-term, non-cancelable ground leases under which it is obligated to pay monthly rent as of June 30, 2019. For all four of the ground leases, rental expenses are reimbursed by unrelated third parties, and the corresponding rental revenue is recorded in rental income on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. All leases are classified as operating leases and have a weighted average remaining lease term of 8.1 years.

The following table summarizes total rental expenses recognized on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Office and Equipment Base Rental Expense	$	201	$	194	$	402	$	388
Office Variable Rental Expense		182		173		454		335
Total Office and Equipment Rental Expense	$	383	$	367	$	856	$	723
Total Ground Lease Rental Expense	$	62	$	305	$	178	$	694

The Company’s recorded lease liabilities under all of these operating leases as of June 30, 2019, based on minimum rental commitments less imputed intrest, are as follows (in thousands):

	Ground Leases			Office and Equipment Leases			Total
Remainder of 2019	$	124		$	1,045		$	1,169
2020		247			2,090			2,337
2021		244			2,092			2,336
2022		163			2,099			2,262
2023		142			2,113			2,255
Thereafter		675			6,610			7,285
Total		1,595			16,049			17,644
Less: imputed interest		(263	)		(9,403	)		(9,666	)
Total operating lease liabilities	$	1,332		$	6,646		$	7,978

Imputed interest was calculated using a weighted-average discount rate of 4.26%. The discount rate is based on our estimated incremental borrowing rate, calculated as the treasury rate for the same period as the underlying lease term, plus a spread determined using factors including the Company's credit rating and REIT industry performance. The evaluation of the Company's right-of-use lease asset associated with the corporate office included the unamortized portion of a $1.7 million cash lease incentive paid at inception of the lease. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had a right-of-use lease asset balance of $5.9 million for these lessee contracts.

Note 7. Derivative and Hedging Activities

The Company uses interest rate derivative contracts to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates on its variable rate debt. These derivatives are considered cash flow hedges and are recorded on a gross basis at fair value. Assessments of hedge effectiveness are performed quarterly using either a qualitative or quantitative approach. The Company recognizes the entire change in the fair value in AOCL and the change is reflected as derivative changes in fair value in the

supplemental disclosures of non-cash activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Amounts will subsequently be reclassified to income or expense when the hedged item affects earnings. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative or trading purposes. The Company does not have netting arrangements related to its derivatives.

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by its derivative counterparties. The Company evaluates counterparty credit risk through monitoring the creditworthiness of counterparties, which includes review of debt ratings and financial performance. To mitigate credit risk, the Company enters into agreements with counterparties it considers credit-worthy, such as large financial institutions with favorable credit ratings.

In December 2018, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements. The following table summarizes the notional amount and fair value of these instruments (dollars in thousands), which are recorded in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets (dollars in thousands):

								Fair Value of Liability
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments	Notional Amount		Fixed Interest Rate			Effective Date	Maturity Date	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Interest Rate Swap	$	200,000		2.8140	%	02/01/19	02/01/24	$	10,449	$	3,559
Interest Rate Swap	$	100,000		2.8174	%	02/01/19	02/01/24	$	5,242	$	1,801

The following table provides information about the amounts recorded in AOCL, as well as the loss recorded in operations, when reclassified out of AOCL, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2019		June 30, 2019
Gross Amount of Loss Recognized in AOCL on Derivatives	$	9,097	$	14,326
Amount of Loss Reclassified from AOCL to Interest (1)	$	343	$	551

⁽¹⁾ Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $25.2 million and $51.8 million, respectively.

During the next 12 months, we estimate that approximately $3.9 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense related to active hedges of existing floating-rate debt.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are summarized below. The following table sets forth the Company’s financial liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

			Fair Value Hierarchy Level
Description	Fair Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
June 30, 2019
Derivatives:
Interest rate swaps financial liabilities	$	20,934	$	—	$	20,934	$	—
December 31, 2018
Derivatives:
Interest rate swaps financial liabilities	$	7,159	$	—	$	7,159	$	—

The interest rate swaps are measured using a market approach, using prices obtained from a nationally recognized pricing service and pricing models with market observable inputs such as interest rates and volatilities. These measurements are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurement of an asset on a nonrecurring basis occurs when events or changes in circumstances related to an asset indicate that the carrying amount of the asset is no longer recoverable. The following table sets forth the Company’s

35

Long-lived assets held for sale	$	7,695	$	—	$	—	$	7,695

Real estate assets and their related intangible assets are evaluated for impairment based on certain indicators including, but not limited to: the asset being held for sale, vacant or non-operating, tenant bankruptcy or delinquency, and leases expiring in 60 days or less. The fair values of impaired real estate and intangible assets were determined by using the following information, depending on availability, in order of preference: signed purchase and sale agreements or letters of intent; recently quoted bid or ask prices, or market prices for comparable properties; estimates of cash flow, which consider, among other things, contractual and forecasted rental revenues, leasing assumptions, and expenses based upon market conditions; and expectations for the use of the real estate. Based on these inputs, the Company determined that its valuation of the impaired real estate and intangible assets falls within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, seven and eight long-lived assets held and used, respectively, were accounted for at fair value. For three of the held and used properties accounted for at fair value as of December 31, 2018, the buildings were fully impaired due to our non-payment on the related ground leases.

For four of the held and used property accounted for at fair value as of June 30, 2019, the Company estimated property fair value using price per square foot of comparable properties. The following tables provides information about the price per square foot of comparable properties input used:

	June 30, 2019					December 31, 2018

Long-lived assets held and used by asset type
Retail	$32.85 - $740.74	$	276.84		103,784	$	—	$	—		—

For the remaining three held and used property accounted for at fair value as of June 30, 2019 and the remaining five held and used properties accounted for at fair value as of December 31, 2018, the Company estimated property fair value using price per square foot based on a listing price or a broker opinion of value. The following table provides information about the price per square foot based on a listing price and broker opinion of value used as inputs (price per square foot in dollars):

Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial assets and liabilities for which the carrying values approximate their fair values include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and escrow deposits, and accounts receivable and payable. Generally, these assets and liabilities are short-term in duration and are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value, on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

In addition to the disclosures for assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value at the balance sheet date, companies are required to disclose the estimated fair values of all financial instruments, even if they are not carried at their fair values. The fair values of financial instruments are estimates based upon market conditions and perceived risks at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. These estimates require management’s judgment and may not be indicative of the future fair values of the assets and liabilities.

The estimated fair values of these financial instruments have been derived based on market quotes for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or discounted cash flow analyses using estimates of the amount and timing of future cash flows, market rates and credit spreads. These measurements are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The following table discloses fair value information for these financial instruments (in thousands):  

	June 30, 2019				December 31, 2018
	Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value

Note 9. Incentive Award Plan

Restricted Shares of Common Stock

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company granted 173 thousand restricted shares under the Amended Incentive Award Plan to certain executive officers, Board of Directors and employees. The Company recorded $6.6 million in deferred compensation associated with these grants, which will be recognized in expense over the service period of the awards. As of June 30, 2019, there were approximately 399 thousand unvested restricted shares outstanding.

Market-Based Awards

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Board of Directors, or committee thereof, approved target grants of 97 thousand market-based awards to executive officers of the Company. The performance period of these grants runs primarily through December 31, 2021. Potential shares of the Company's common stock that each participant is eligible to receive is based on the initial target number of shares granted, multiplied by a percentage range between 0% and 250%. Grant date fair value was calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation model, which incorporated stock price correlation, projected dividend yields and other variables over the time horizons matching the performance periods. Significant inputs for the calculation were expected volatility of the Company of 25.4% and expected volatility of the Company's peers, ranging from 15.3% to 30.8%. Stock-based compensation expense associated with unvested market-based awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum required service period, which is generally three years.

Approximately $2.3 million and $1.7 million in dividend rights have been accrued for non-vested market-based awards outstanding as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. For outstanding non-vested awards at June 30, 2019, 0.5 million shares would have been released based on the Company's TSR relative to the specified peer groups through that date.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $3.9 million and $4.7 million, respectively, in stock-based compensation expense, and for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $7.5 million and $9.1 million, respectively. These amounts are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

As of June 30, 2019, the remaining unamortized stock-based compensation expense totaled $19.5 million, including $10.3 million related to restricted stock awards and $9.2 million related to market-based awards. As of December 31, 2018, the remaining unamortized stock-based compensation expense totaled $15.5 million, including $8.1 million related to restricted stock awards and $7.4 million related to market-based awards. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period of each applicable award.

Note 10. Income Per Share and Partnership Unit

Income per share and unit has been computed using the two-class method, which is computed by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common stockholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. In applying the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to both shares of common stock and participating securities based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Classification of the Company's unvested restricted stock, which contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends, are deemed participating securities under the two-class method. Under the two-class method, earnings attributable to unvested restricted shares are deducted from income from continuing operations in the computation of net income attributable to common stockholders.

⁽¹⁾ Assumes the most dilutive issuance of potentially issuable shares between the two-class and treasury stock method unless the result would be anti-dilutive.

The Company intends to satisfy its exchange obligation for the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to the note holders entirely in cash; therefore, the "if-converted" method does not apply and the treasury stock method is being used. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company's average stock price was below the conversion price, resulting in zero potentially dilutive shares related to the conversion spread for all periods.

Note 11. Related Party Transactions and Arrangements

Cost Sharing Arrangements

In conjunction with the Spin-Off, the Company and SMTA entered into certain agreements, including the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement and Insurance Sharing Agreement. These agreements provide a framework for the relationship between the Company and SMTA after the Spin-Off, by which Spirit may incur certain expenses on behalf of SMTA that must be reimbursed in a timely manner. In connection with these arrangements, the Company had $0.1 million accrued receivable balances as of both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Additionally, the Company had accrued payable balances of $20 thousand and $1.8 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, in connection with these arrangements.

Asset Management Agreement

In conjunction with the Spin-Off, the Company entered into the Asset Management Agreement pursuant to which the Operating Partnership will provide various services subject to the supervision of SMTA's Board of Trustees, including, but not limited to: (i) performing all of SMTA's day-to-day functions, (ii) sourcing, analyzing and executing on investments and dispositions, (iii) determining investment criteria, (iv) performing investment and liability management duties, including financing and hedging, and (v) performing financial and accounting management. For its services, the Company is entitled to an annual management fee of $20.0 million per annum, payable monthly in arrears. Additionally, the Company may be entitled to, under certain circumstances, a promoted interest fee based on the total shareholder return of SMTA's common shares during the relevant period, as well as a termination fee. No revenue for the promoted interest fee or termination fee has been recognized as they do not meet the criteria for recognition under ASC 606-10 as of June 30, 2019. Asset management fees of $5.0 million and $10.0 million were earned during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $1.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, and are included in related party fee income in the consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, under the terms of this agreement, the Company recognized related party fee income of $0.4 million, which was fully offset by $0.4 million of general and expense, for other compensation awarded by SMTA to an employee of Spirit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. As of both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had accrued receivable balances of $1.7 million related to the Asset Management Agreement.

Property Management and Servicing Agreement

The Operating Partnership provides property management services and special services for Master Trust 2014. The property management fees accrue daily at 0.25% per annum of the collateral value of the Master Trust 2014 collateral pool less any specially serviced assets, and the special servicing fees accrue daily at 0.75% per annum of the collateral value of any assets deemed to be specially serviced per the terms of the Property Management and Servicing Agreement dated May 20, 2014. Property management fees of $1.4 million and $3.0 million were earned during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to $0.5 million earned during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. Special servicing fees of $0.4 million and $0.8 million were earned during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $52 thousand during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. These fees are included in related party fee income in the consolidated statements of operations. As of both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had accrued receivable balances of $0.5 million related to the Property Management and Servicing Agreement.

Related Party Loans Payable

Wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company are the borrower on four mortgage loans payable to SMTA and secured by six single-tenant commercial properties owned by the Company. In total, these mortgage notes had an outstanding principal balance of $26.4 million and $27.9 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which is included in mortgages and notes payable, net on the consolidated balance sheet. The notes incurred interest expense of $67 thousand and $0.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to $25 thousand for both the both the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, which is included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2019, these mortgage notes have a weighted-average stated interest rate of 1.00%, a weighted-average term of 8.7 years and are eligible for early repayment without penalty.

Related Party Notes Receivable

In conjunction with the Master Trust 2014 Series 2017-1 notes issuance completed in December 2017, the Operating Partnership, as sponsor of the issuance, retained a 5.0% economic interest in the Master Trust 2014 Series 2017-1 notes as required by the risk retention rules issued under 17 CFR Part 246. The principal amount receivable under the notes was

(Unaudited)

$33.5 million as of both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which is reflected as Investment in Master Trust 2014 on the consolidated balance sheet. The notes generated interest income of $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to $128 thousand for the both the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, which is included in interest income on loans receivable in the consolidated statements of operations. The notes have a weighted-average stated interest rate of 4.6% with a remaining term of 3.4 years to maturity as of June 30, 2019. The notes are classified as held-to-maturity and, as of June 30, 2019, the amortized cost basis is equal to carrying value.

Investments in SMTA

In conjunction with the Spin-Off, SMTA issued to the Operating Partnership and one of its affiliates, both wholly-owned subsidiaries of Spirit, a total of 6.0 million shares of Series A preferred stock with an aggregate liquidation preference of $150.0 million (the "SMTA Preferred Stock"). The SMTA Preferred Stock pays cash dividends at the rate of 10.0% per annum on the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share (equivalent to $0.625 per share on a quarterly basis and $2.50 per share on an annual basis). Spirit recognized $3.8 million and $7.5 million in dividend income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to $1.3 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, which is reflected as preferred dividend income from SMTA in the consolidated statements of operations. Preferred dividend income is recognized when dividends are declared. As of both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had accrued receivable balances of $3.8 million related to the preferred dividends. The carrying value of the SMTA Preferred Stock is $150.0 million as of both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, which is reflected in the consolidated balance sheets and will be accounted for at cost, less impairments, if any.

Recent Developments

In June 2019, SMTA announced it reached a definitive agreement to sell the assets held in Master Trust 2014, subject to certain conditions including SMTA shareholder approval. In conjunction with this announcement, the Company has agreed to the following, subject to the completion of the sale:

• Terminate the existing Asset Management Agreement (SMTA will not be required to deliver notice 180 days in advance of termination or enter into an eight month transition services period);

• Sell the fee interest in three of the Company’s properties to a subsidiary of SMTA for $55.0 million in gross proceeds, subject to customary prorations, and extinguish the related party mortgage loans payable (with an outstanding principal balance of $26.4 million as of June 30, 2019);

• Waive the Company’s rights to receive any potential promoted interest fee; and

• Enter into an interim asset management agreement with SMTA whereby the Company’s will receive $1 million during the initial one-year term and $4 million for any renewal one-year term, plus certain cost reimbursements, to manage and liquidate the remaining SMTA assets; such agreement is terminable at any time by SMTA and by Spirit after the initial one-year term, in each case without a termination fee.

Assuming a closing of the sale of the Master Trust 2014 assets at the end of the third quarter of 2019, the Company expects to:

• Receive a termination fee for the Asset Management Agreement of approximately $48 million ($35 million net of estimated tax);

• Receive $150 million for the repurchase of our preferred equity investment in SMTA;  

• Redeem the Investment in Master Trust 2014 notes (with an outstanding principal balance of $33.5 million as of June 30, 2019); and

• Terminate the Property Management and Servicing Agreement for Master Trust 2014 in connection with the redemption of the Master Trust 2014 notes.

Note 12. Discontinued Operations

On May 31, 2018, the Company completed the Spin-Off of SMTA by means of a pro rata distribution of one share of SMTA common stock for every ten shares of Spirit common stock held by each of Spirit's stockholders of record as of May 18, 2018. The Company determined that the Spin-Off represented a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company's results and, therefore, SMTA 's operations qualify as discontinued operations. Accordingly, for periods prior to the Spin-Off, the historical financial results of SMTA are reflected in our consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The discontinued operations have been classified as loss from discontinued operations on the

Overview

Spirit Realty Capital, Inc. is a New York Stock Exchange listed company under the ticker symbol "SRC." We are a self-administered and self-managed REIT with in-house capabilities including acquisition, portfolio management, asset management, credit research, real estate research, legal, finance and accounting and capital markets. We primarily invest in single-tenant, operationally essential real estate assets throughout the U.S., which are generally acquired through strategic sale-leaseback transactions and subsequently leased on a long-term, triple-net basis to high quality tenants with business operations within retail, office, industrial and other property types. Single tenant, operationally essential real estate consists of properties that are generally free-standing, commercial real estate facilities where our tenants conduct activities that are essential to the generation of their sales and profits. In support of our primary business of owning and leasing real estate, we have also strategically originated or acquired long-term, commercial mortgages and other loans to provide a range of financing solutions to our tenants.

As of June 30, 2019, our owned real estate represented investments in 1,563 properties. Our properties are leased to 255 tenants across 48 states and 32 industries. As of June 30, 2019, our owned properties were approximately 99.6% occupied (based on the number of economically yielding properties). In addition, our investment in real estate includes commercial mortgage and other loans receivable primarily secured by 43 real estate properties or other related assets.

Our operations are carried out through the Operating Partnership. OP Holdings, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, is the sole general partner and owns approximately 1% of the Operating Partnership. We and one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries are the only limited partners, and together own the remaining 99% of the Operating Partnership. Although the Operating Partnership is wholly-owned by us, in the future, we may issue partnership interests in the Operating Partnership to third parties in exchange for property owned by such third parties. In general, any partnership interests in the Operating Partnership issued to third parties would be exchangeable for cash or, at our election, shares of our common stock at specified ratios set when such partnership interests in the Operating Partnership are issued.

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and believe we have been organized and have operated in a manner that allows us to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

On May 31, 2018, we completed a Spin-Off of all of our interests in the assets that collateralize Master Trust 2014, our properties leased to Shopko, and certain other assets into an independent, publicly traded REIT, SMTA. Upon completion of the Spin-Off, our stockholders received a distribution of common shares of beneficial interest in SMTA, which was treated as a taxable distribution to them. For periods prior to the Spin-Off, the historical financial results of SMTA are reflected in our consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations. See Note 12 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

In June 2019, SMTA announced it reached a definitive agreement to sell the assets held in Master Trust 2014, subject to certain conditions including SMTA shareholder approval. In conjunction with this announcement, we have agreed to the following, subject to the completion of the sale:

• Terminate the existing Asset Management Agreement (SMTA will not be required to deliver notice 180 days in advance of termination or enter into an eight month transition services period);

• Sell the fee interest in three of our properties to a subsidiary of SMTA for $55.0 million in gross proceeds, subject to customary prorations, and extinguish the related party mortgage loans payable (with an outstanding principal balance of $26.4 million as of June 30, 2019);

• Waive our rights to receive any potential promoted interest fee; and

• Enter into an interim asset management agreement with SMTA whereby we will receive $1 million during the initial one-year term and $4 million for any renewal one-year term, plus certain cost reimbursements, to manage and liquidate the remaining SMTA assets; such agreement is terminable at any time by SMTA and by Spirit after the initial one-year term, in each case without a termination fee.

Assuming a closing of the sale of the Master Trust 2014 assets at the end of the third quarter of 2019, we expect to:

• Receive a termination fee for the Asset Management Agreement of approximately $48 million ($35 million net of estimated tax);

• Receive $150 million for the repurchase of our preferred equity investment in SMTA;

• Redeem the Investment in Master Trust 2014 notes (with an outstanding principal balance of $33.5 million as of June 30, 2019); and

• Terminate the Property Management and Servicing Agreement for Master Trust 2014 in connection with the redemption of the Master Trust 2014 notes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. We base estimates on the best information available to us at the time, our experience and various other assumptions deemed reasonable under the circumstances. From time to time, we re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. We have not made any material changes to these policies during the periods covered by this quarterly report.

REVENUES

Rental income

We were a net acquirer of income producing real estate over the trailing twelve-month period, resulting in an increase in our contractual cash rents between periods of 8.6%. Included in continuing operations for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2019 were acquisitions of 142 properties, with a Real Estate Investment Value of $695.3 million, and dispositions of 37 properties, with a Real Estate Investment Value of $192.4 million.

Also included in rental income are tenant reimbursements, where our tenants are obligated under the lease agreement to reimburse us for certain property costs we incur, and non-cash rental income. Tenant reimbursement income was $2.8 million and $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and is driven by the tenant reimbursable property costs described below. These amounts represent approximately 2.6% and 2.8% of rental income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

45

Finally, non-cash rental income primarily consists of straight-line rental revenue and amortization of above- and below-market lease intangibles. Additionally, as a result of adopting ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, bad debt expense is included in rental income on a prospective basis. Non-cash rental income, net of bad debt, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $5.1 million, compared to non-cash rental income of $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. These amounts represent approximately 4.8% and 4.9% of total rental revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Interest income on loans receivable

In conjunction with the Master Trust 2014 Series 2017-1 notes issuance completed in December 2017, the Operating Partnership, as sponsor of the issuance, retained a 5.0% economic interest in the Master Trust 2014 Series 2017-1 notes. Subsequent to the Spin-Off, this holding is reflected as Investment in Master Trust 2014 on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, and the related interest income resulted in an increase in interest income period-over-period of $0.2 million. These notes are expected to be redeemed in the third quarter of 2019 in conjunction with SMTA’s announced sale of Master Trust 2014. Additionally, there was a period-over-period decrease to amortization of $0.7 million, primarily as a result of the pay-off of one mortgage loan collateralized by 26 properties in April 2018.

These increases were partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in interest income as a result of the pay-off of the mortgage loan collateralized by 26 properties, one loan originally secured by 14 properties and two unsecured loans. Finally, there was a decrease in interest income on the remaining loans receivable of $0.1 million period-over-period as a result of scheduled amortization of the loans.

Related party fee income

In conjunction with the Spin-Off, we entered into the Asset Management Agreement with SMTA pursuant to which we provide a management team that is responsible for implementing SMTA ’s business strategy and performing certain services for SMTA. Under this agreement, we recognized $5.0 million of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $1.7 million in the comparative period. Additionally, under the terms of this agreement, we recognized $0.4 million of stock compensation awarded by SMTA to an employee of Spirit for the three months ended June 30, 2019, which was fully offset by $0.4 million in general and administrative expenses recognized for other compensation. This agreement is expected to be terminated in conjunction with SMTA’s announced sale of Master Trust 2014 and an interim agreement for an initial annual fee of $1.0 million would be executed.  

Additionally, we provide property management services and special services for Master Trust 2014, which was contributed to SMTA as part of the Spin-Off. As a result, for the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized $1.9 million in revenue under the terms of the Property Management and Servicing Agreement, compared to $0.6 million in the comparative period. This agreement is expected to be terminated and the Master Trust 2014 notes redeemed in the third quarter of 2019 in conjunction with SMTA’s announced sale of Master Trust 2014.

EXPENSES

General and administrative

Period-over-period general and administrative expenses remained relatively flat, with the slight increase primarily due to an increase in legal and audit fees period-over-period of $0.4 million.

Property costs (including reimbursable)

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, property costs were $4.4 million (including $3.5 million of tenant reimbursable expenses) compared to $4.8 million (including $3.6 million of tenant reimbursable expenses) for the same period in 2018. As such, reimbursable property costs remained relatively flat period-over-period. The decrease in non-reimbursable costs of $0.3 million was driven primarily by a decrease in non-reimbursable property taxes.

Interest

The increase in interest expense is primarily related to the 2015 Term Loan being undrawn during the three months ended June 30, 2018, whereas the A-1 Term Loans were fully drawn during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and the A-2 Term Loans were fully drawn in May 2019. This increase was partially offset by the following:

• the maturity and repayment of the $402.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2.875% Convertible 2019 Notes on May 15, 2019,

• the early repayment of the Master Trust 2013 notes on June 20, 2019,

46

• the extinguishment of $10.4 million aggregate principal amount of CMBS indebtedness on one defaulted loan in the first quarter of 2019, which had a default interest rate of 9.85%,

• lower average borrowings outstanding under the 2019 Credit Facility in 2019 compared to the 2015 Credit Facility in the comparative period, and

• the reduction in the interest expense rate on the 2019 Credit Facility and A-1 Term Loans as a result of our ratings upgrade from S&P in May 2019.  

The following table summarizes our interest expense on related borrowings:

	Three Months Ended June 30,
(In Thousands)	2019		2018
Interest expense – Revolving credit facilities (1)	$	1,798	$	2,849
Interest expense – Term loans		5,691		—
Interest expense – Senior Unsecured Notes		3,515		3,337
Interest expense – mortgages and notes payable		5,829		6,627
Interest expense – Convertible Notes		4,649		6,128
Non-cash interest expense:
Amortization of deferred financing costs		1,774		2,005
Amortization of debt discount, net		1,920		2,602
Total interest expense	$	25,176	$	23,548

⁽¹⁾ Includes facility fees of approximately $0.5 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization

While we were a net acquirer during the trailing twelve-month period of $502.9 million of Real Estate Investment Value, depreciation and amortization increased minimally period-over-period as a result of timing of the acquisition/disposition activity, specifically with the majority of both the acquisitions and dispositions closing in the first half of 2019. The following table summarizes our depreciation and amortization expense:

	Three Months Ended June 30,
(In Thousands)	2019		2018
Depreciation of real estate assets	$	34,737	$	32,857
Other depreciation		142		142
Amortization of lease intangibles		6,463		6,943
Total depreciation and amortization	$	41,342	$	39,942

Impairments

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded impairment losses of $3.6 million. $0.1 million of the impairment was recorded on one Vacant property held for use. $3.2 million of impairment was recorded on underperforming properties, comprised of $2.5 million recorded on five underperforming properties held for use and $0.7 million recorded on one underperforming property held for sale. The remaining impairment charges of $0.3 million were recorded on lease intangible assets.

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded impairment losses of $1.5 million. All of the impairment was recorded on seven underperforming properties classified as held for use.

(Loss) gain on debt extinguishment

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we retired the remaining Master Trust 2013 notes, which had $158.5 million of aggregate principal outstanding and a stated interest rate of 5.27%. This resulted in a loss on debt of extinguishment of $14.7 million, primarily as a result of early repayment penalties.

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company extinguished a total of $22.2 million of mortgage debt related to two defaulted loans on two underperforming properties, resulting in a gain on debt extinguishment of $6.7 million. This was partially offset by the extinguishment of $137.1 million of Master Trust 2013 debt, which resulted in approximately $1.2 million in losses on debt extinguishment.

47

Gain (loss) on disposition of assets

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we disposed of 18 properties and recorded net gains totaling $29.8 million. There were $28.6 million in net gains on the sale of eight active properties and $1.2 million in net gains on the sale of ten Vacant properties.

For the same period in 2018, we disposed of eight properties and recorded net losses totaling $0.9 million. There were $1.1 million in net losses on the sale of two Vacant properties and $0.1 million in other net losses, partially offset by $0.4 million in net gains on the sale of four active properties. These losses were partially offset by $0.3 million in gains on the sale of two properties. Two properties were returned to the lenders in conjunction with CMBS debt extinguishment, which did not result in a gain/loss on disposition.

Preferred dividend income from SMTA

As part of the Spin-Off of SMTA, SMTA issued to us 10% Series A preferred shares with an aggregate liquidation preference of $150.0 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized preferred dividend income of $3.8 million from these shares.

LOSS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Discontinued operations represent the activity related to the assets that were included in the Spin-Off. As such, there is no activity related to discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

June 30, 2019 were acquisitions of 142 properties, with a Real Estate Investment Value of $695.3 million, and dispositions of 37 properties, with a Real Estate Investment Value of $192.4 million.

Also included in rental income are tenant reimbursements, where our tenants are obligated under the lease agreement to reimburse us for certain property costs we incur, and non-cash rental income. Tenant reimbursement income was $6.3 million and $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and is driven by the tenant reimbursable property costs described below. These amounts represent approximately 3.0% and 3.3% of rental income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Finally, non-cash rental income primarily consists of straight-line rental revenue and amortization of above- and below-market lease intangibles. Additionally, as a result of adopting ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, bad debt expense is included in rental income on a prospective basis. Non-cash rental income, net of bad debt, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $8.8 million, compared to non-cash rental income of $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. These amounts represent approximately 4.2% and 5.1% of total rental revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Interest income on loans receivable

In conjunction with the Master Trust 2014 Series 2017-1 notes issuance completed in December 2017, the Operating Partnership, as sponsor of the issuance, retained a 5.0% economic interest in the Master Trust 2014 Series 2017-1 notes. Subsequent to the Spin-Off, this holding is reflected as Investment in Master Trust 2014 on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, and the related interest income resulted in an increase in interest income period-over-period of $0.6 million. These notes are expected to be redeemed in the third quarter of 2019 in conjunction with SMTA’s announced sale of Master Trust 2014. Additionally, there was a period-over-period decrease to amortization of $0.8 million, primarily as a result of the pay-off of one mortgage loan collateralized by 26 properties in April 2018.

These increases were partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in interest income as a result of the pay-off of the mortgage loan collateralized by 26 properties, one loan originally secured by 14 properties and two unsecured loans. Finally, there was a decrease in interest income on the remaining loans receivable of $0.2 million period-over-period as a result of scheduled amortization of the loans.

Related party fee income

In conjunction with the Spin-Off, we entered into the Asset Management Agreement with SMTA pursuant to which we provide a management team that is responsible for implementing SMTA ’s business strategy and performing certain services for SMTA. Under this agreement, we recognized $10.0 million of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $1.7 million in the comparative period. Additionally, under the terms of this agreement, we recognized $0.4 million of stock compensation awarded by SMTA to an employee of Spirit for the six months ended June 30, 2019, which was fully offset by $0.4 million in general and administrative expenses recognized for other compensation. This agreement is expected to be terminated in conjunction with SMTA’s announced sale of Master Trust 2014 and an interim agreement for an initial annual fee of $1.0 million would be executed.  

Additionally, we provide property management services and special services for Master Trust 2014, which was contributed to SMTA as part of the Spin-Off. As a result, for the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized $3.8 million in revenue under the terms of the Property Management and Servicing Agreement, compared to $0.6 million in the comparative period. This agreement is expected to be terminated and the Master Trust 2014 notes redeemed in the third quarter of 2019 in conjunction with SMTA’s announced sale of Master Trust 2014.

EXPENSES

General and administrative

The period-over-period decrease in general and administrative expenses was driven by a $2.2 million decrease in compensation and benefits expenses, primarily due to severance costs following the departure of two executive officers recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2018, and no comparable expense in the six months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in legal and audit fees period-over-period of $0.4 million.

Property costs (including reimbursable)

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, property costs were $9.6 million (including $7.6 million of tenant reimbursable expenses) compared to $10.4 million (including $8.0 million of tenant reimbursable expenses) for the same period in 2018. The decrease in non-reimbursable property costs of $0.4 million was primarily a result of reduced insurance expenses. The decrease in reimbursable costs of $0.4 million was driven by a decrease in reimbursable property taxes.

49

Interest

The increase in interest expense is primarily related to the 2015 Term Loan being undrawn during the six months ended June 30, 2018, whereas the A-1 Term Loans were fully drawn during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and the A-2 Term Loans were fully drawn in May 2019. This increase was partially offset by the following:

• the maturity and repayment of the $402.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2.875% convertible 2019 Notes on May 15, 2019,

• the early repayment of the Master Trust 2013 notes on June 20, 2019, and

• the extinguishment of $10.4 million aggregate principal amount of CMBS indebtedness on one defaulted loan in the first quarter of 2019, which had a default interest rate of 9.85%.

The following table summarizes our interest expense on related borrowings:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
(In Thousands)	2019		2018
Interest expense – Revolving credit facilities (1)	$	3,976	$	4,200
Interest expense – Term loans		9,669		—

Amortization of debt discount, net		4,626		5,165
Total interest expense	$	51,787	$	46,601

⁽¹⁾ Includes facility fees of approximately $1.2 million and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization

While we were a net acquirer during the trailing twelve-month period of $502.9 million of Real Estate Investment Value, depreciation and amortization increased minimally period-over-period as a result of timing of the acquisition/disposition activity, specifically with the majority of both the acquisitions and dispositions closing in the first half of 2019. The following table summarizes our depreciation and amortization expense:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
(In Thousands)	2019		2018
Depreciation of real estate assets	$	69,206	$	66,176
Other depreciation		284		283
Amortization of lease intangibles		13,201		14,177
Total depreciation and amortization	$	82,691	$	80,636

Impairments

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded impairment losses of $7.3 million. $1.2 million of the impairment was recorded on Vacant properties, comprised of $0.2 million recorded on two Vacant held for use properties and $1.0 million recorded on one Vacant held for sale property. $6.3 million of impairment was recorded on underperforming properties, comprised of $2.5 million recorded on five underperforming properties held for use and $3.8 million recorded on nine underperforming properties held for sale. These impairment charges were partially offset by $0.2 million of net impairment on lease intangible liabilities.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded impairment losses of $5.0 million. $1.3 million of the impairment was recorded on Vacant properties, all of which were held for use. The remaining $3.7 million of impairment was recorded on underperforming properties, comprised of $3.3 million of impairment recorded on 11 underperforming properties held for use and $0.4 million of impairment recorded on two underperforming properties held for sale.

(Loss) gain on debt extinguishment

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we retired the remaining Master Trust 2013 notes, which had $158.5 million of aggregate principal outstanding and a stated interest rate of 5.27%. This resulted in a loss on debt of extinguishment of $14.7 million, primarily as a result of early repayment penalties. Additionally, we incurred a loss on debt extinguishment of

50

$0.7 million as a result of the termination of the 2015 Credit Agreement and 2015 Term Loan Agreement in conjunction with entering into the 2019 Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement. These losses were partially offset by a gain on debt extinguishment of $9.5 million as a result of extinguishing $10.4 million aggregate principal amount of CMBS indebtedness on one defaulted loan, which was secured by one property.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company extinguished a total of $56.2 million of mortgage debt related to six defaulted loans on six underperforming properties, resulting in a gain on debt extinguishment of $27.9 million and sold our retained notes in Master Trust 2014 Series 2014-2 for a gain of $0.5 million. These gains were partially offset by the extinguishment of $139.7 million of Master Trust 2013 debt, which resulted in approximately $1.3 million in losses on debt extinguishment.

Gain on disposition of assets

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we disposed of 25 properties and recorded net gains totaling $38.5 million. There were $37.3 million in net gains on the sale of 12 active properties and $1.2 million in net gains on the sale of ten Vacant properties. One property was returned to the lender in conjunction with CMBS debt extinguishment and two properties were leasehold interests that were surrendered to the lessors, which did not result in a gain/loss on disposition.

For the same period in 2018, we disposed of 17 properties and recorded net gains totaling $0.4 million. These gains were primarily driven by $1.7 million in net gains on the sale of nine active properties, partially offset by $1.1 million in net losses on the sale of two Vacant properties and $0.2 million in other net losses. Six properties were returned to the lenders in conjunction with CMBS debt extinguishment, which did not result in a gain/loss on disposition.

Preferred dividend income from SMTA

As part of the Spin-Off of SMTA, SMTA issued to us 10% Series A preferred shares with an aggregate liquidation preference of $150.0 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized preferred dividend income of $7.5 million from these shares.

LOSS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Discontinued operations represent the activity related to the assets that were included in the Spin-Off. As such, there is no activity related to discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

FORWARD EQUITY ISSUANCE

In May 2019, we entered into forward sale agreements with certain financial institutions acting as forward purchasers in connection with an offering of 11.5 million shares of common stock at an initial gross offering price of $41.00 per share, before underwriting discounts and offering expenses. The forward purchasers borrowed and sold an aggregate of 11.5 million shares of common stock in the offering. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of its shares of common stock by the forward purchasers at the time of the offering. We intend (subject to our right to elect cash or net share settlement subject to certain conditions) to deliver, upon physical settlement of the forward sale agreements on one or more dates specified by us occurring no later than November 2, 2020, an aggregate of 11.5 million shares of our common stock to the forward purchasers in exchange for cash proceeds per share equal to the applicable forward sale price. The forward sale price that the Company will receive upon physical settlement of the agreements, which was initially $39.36 per share, will be subject to adjustment for (i) a floating interest rate factor equal to a specified daily rate less a spread, (ii) the forward purchasers' stock borrowing costs and (iii) scheduled dividends during the term of the forward sale agreements. As of June 30, 2019, we have settled 1.9 million of these shares for gross proceeds of $76.0 million.

ATM PROGRAM

In November 2016, the Board of Directors approved a $500.0 million ATM Program. In February 2019, we updated the ATM Program, pursuant to which we may from time to time offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $500.0 million through the agents, as our sales agents or, if applicable, as forward sellers, or directly to the agents acting as principals. Sales of shares of our common stock under the ATM Program may be made in sales deemed to be “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act.

The ATM Program contemplates that, in addition to the issuance and sale by us of shares of our common stock to or through the agents, we may enter into separate forward sale agreements with one of the agents or one of their respective affiliates (in such capacity, each, a “forward purchaser” and, collectively, the “forward purchasers”). When we enter into a forward sale agreement with any forward purchaser, we expect that such forward purchaser will attempt to borrow from third parties and sell, through the relevant agent, acting as sales agent for such forward purchaser, shares of our common stock to hedge such forward purchaser's exposure under such forward sale agreement. We will not initially receive any proceeds from any sale of shares of our common stock borrowed by a forward purchaser and sold through a forward seller.

We currently expect to fully physically settle any forward sale agreement with the relevant forward purchaser on one or more dates specified by us on or prior to the maturity date of such forward sale agreement, in which case we expect to receive aggregate net cash proceeds at settlement equal to the number of shares specified in such forward sale agreement multiplied by the relevant forward price per share. However, subject to certain exceptions, we may also elect, in our sole

55

discretion, to cash settle or net share settle all or any portion of our obligations under any forward sale agreement, in which case we may not receive any proceeds (in the case of cash settlement) or will not receive any proceeds (in the case of net share settlement), and we may owe cash (in the case of cash settlement) or shares of our common stock (in the case of net share settlement) to the relevant forward purchaser.

As of June 30, 2019, 2.4 million shares of our common stock have been sold under the ATM Program. 2.3 million of this activity occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2019 for gross proceeds of $91.4 million. 1.8 million of the sales were sold by forward purchasers through agents under the ATM Program and pursuant to forward sales agreements for gross proceeds of $70.4 million based on the initial forward price. There were no open forward contracts under the ATM Program as of June 30, 2019 and capacity of $404.9 million remained available under the program.

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

In May 2018, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program, which authorizes the repurchase of up to $250.0 million of our common stock. These purchases can be made in the open market or through private transactions from time to time over the 18-month time period following authorization. Purchase activity will be dependent on various factors, including our capital position, operating results, funds generated by asset sales, dividends that may be required by those sales, and investment options that may be available, including acquiring new properties or retiring debt. The stock repurchase program does not obligate us to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be suspended at any time at our discretion. We intend to fund any repurchases with new proceeds from asset sales, cash flows from operations, existing cash on the balance sheet and other sources, including debt. As of June 30, 2019, no shares have been repurchased under this new program.

SHORT-TERM LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On a short-term basis, our principal demands for funds will be for operating expenses, acquisitions, distributions to stockholders and payment of interest and principal on current and any future debt financings. We expect to fund these demands primarily through cash provided by operating activities, borrowings under the 2019 Credit Facility, and, when market conditions warrant, issuances of equity securities, including shares of our common stock under our ATM program. As of June 30, 2019, available liquidity was comprised of $800.0 million of borrowing capacity under the 2019 Credit Facility, $11.0 million in restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents and $10.0 million in cash and cash equivalents. We also had capacity of $404.9 million available under our ATM Program and expected net proceeds of $374.6 million from open forward contracts from our May 2019 forward equity issuance as of June 30, 2019.

LONG-TERM LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURSES

We plan to meet our long-term capital needs, including long-term financing of property acquisitions, by issuing registered debt or equity securities, by obtaining asset level financing and by issuing fixed-rate secured or unsecured notes and bonds. In the future, some of our property acquisitions could be made by issuing partnership interests of our Operating Partnership in exchange for property owned by third parties. These partnership interests would be exchangeable for cash or, at our election, shares of our common stock.

We continually evaluate financing alternatives and believe that we can obtain financing on reasonable terms. However, we cannot be sure that we will have access to the capital markets at times and on terms that are acceptable to us. We expect that our primary uses of capital will be for property and other asset acquisitions, the payment of tenant improvements, operating expenses, debt service payments and distributions to our stockholders.

DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN DEBT

The following descriptions of debt should be read in conjunction with Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements herein.

2019 Credit Facility

As of June 30, 2019, the aggregate gross commitment under the 2019 Credit Facility was $800.0 million, which may be increased up to $1.2 billion by exercising an accordion feature, subject to satisfying certain requirements and obtaining additional lender commitments. The 2019 Credit Facility has a maturity of March 31, 2023 and includes two six-month extensions that can be exercised at our option.

We may voluntarily prepay the 2019 Credit Facility, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty. Payment of the 2019 Credit Facility is unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and material subsidiaries that meet certain conditions (as defined in the 2019 Facilities Agreements). As of June 30, 2019, there were no subsidiaries that met this requirement.

56

As of June 30, 2019, the 2019 Credit Facility bore interest at 1-Month LIBOR plus 0.90%, with no borrowings outstanding, and a ratings-based facility fee in the amount of 0.20% per annum. As of June 30, 2019, there were no letters of credit outstanding.

A-1 Term Loans and A-2 Term Loans

As of June 30, 2019, the full borrowing capacity of $420.0 million under the A-1 Term Loans and the full borrowing capacity of $400.0 million under the A-2 Term Loans were fully drawn. The borrowing capacity of both the A-1 Term Loans and A-2 Term Loans may be increased by exercising an accordion feature, up to $620.0 million and $600.0 million, respectively, both subject to obtaining additional lender commitments. The A-1 Term Loans have a maturity of March 31, 2024 and the A-2 Term Loans have a maturity of March 31, 2022.

Borrowings may be repaid without premium or penalty and may be re-borrowed within 30 days up to the then available loan commitment and subject to occurrence limitations within any twelve-month period.

As of June 30, 2019, the A-1 Term Loans and A-2 Term Loans bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.00% based on our credit rating. In addition, a ticking fee accrued on the unused portion of the commitments for the A-2 Term Loans at a rate of 0.20% until May 15, 2019 (date they were fully drawn).

Senior Unsecured Notes

The 2026 Senior Unsecured Notes of the Operating Partnership have an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million and are guaranteed by the Company. The 2026 Senior Unsecured Notes accrue interest at a rate of 4.45% per year, payable on March 15 and September 15 with a final maturity date of September 15, 2026.

In June 2019, the Operating Partnership issued $400 million aggregate principal of notes, which are guaranteed by the Company, resulting in net proceeds of $395.9 million. The 2029 Senior Unsecured Notes accrue interest at a rate of 4.00% per year, payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year, with a final maturity date of July 15, 2029.

The Senior Unsecured Notes are redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the Operating Partnership’s option, at a redemption price equal to the sum of: an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the respective Senior Unsecured Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, up to, but not including, the redemption date; and a make-whole premium calculated in accordance with the respective indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the Senior Unsecured Notes are redeemed three months or less prior to their respective maturity dates, the redemption price will not include a make-whole premium.

Master Trust 2013

Master Trust 2013 was an asset-backed securitization platform through which we raised capital by issuing non-recourse net lease mortgage notes collateralized by commercial real estate, net leases and mortgage loans. The commercial real estate was managed by the Company in our capacity as property manager. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company elected to retire the Master Trust 2013 notes, which had one series of notes outstanding, Series 2013-2 Class A, with a stated interest rate of 5.27%. These notes were issued by a single indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company which is a bankruptcy-remote, special purpose entity, and were secured by 267 owned and financed properties at time of repayment.

CMBS

As of June 30, 2019, we had six fixed-rate CMBS loans with $262.7 million of aggregate outstanding principal, a weighted-average contractual interest rate of 5.35% and a weighted-average maturity of 4.2 years. Approximately 73% of this debt is partially amortizing and requires a balloon payment at maturity. The following table shows the scheduled principal repayments, including amortization, of the CMBS fixed-rate loans as of June 30, 2019 (dollars in thousands):

Related Party Mortgage Loans Payable

Wholly-owned subsidiaries of Spirit are the borrower on four mortgage loans payable held by SMTA and secured by six single-tenant properties. In total, these mortgage notes had outstanding principal of $26.4 million at June 30, 2019, which is included in mortgages and notes payable, net on the consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2019, these mortgage notes had a weighted average stated interest rate of 1.00%, a weighted average remaining term of 8.7 years and were eligible for early repayment without penalty. In conjunction with SMTA’s announced sale of Master Trust 2014, we have agreed to sell three of the underlying properties for gross proceeds of $55 million, which will result in the extinguishment of the mortgage loan which they collateralize.

Convertible Notes

The Convertible Notes were comprised of two series of notes: (i) $402.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2.875% convertible notes which matured on May 15, 2019 and (ii) $345.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% convertible notes maturing on May 15, 2021. We retired the 2019 Notes in cash by drawing on the A-2 Term Loans. Interest on the 2021 Notes is payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. As of June 30, 2019, the carrying amount of the 2021 Notes was $333.4 million, net of discounts (primarily consisting of the value of the embedded conversion feature) and unamortized deferred financing costs.

Holders may convert the 2021 Notes prior to November 15, 2020 only under specific circumstances: (1) if the closing price of our common stock for each of at last 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the last 30 consecutive trading days in the quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price for the Convertible Notes; (2) during the five business day period after any 10 consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last closing price of our common stock and the conversion rate for the Convertible Notes; (3) if we call any or all of the Convertible Notes for redemption prior to the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as described in the Convertible Notes prospectus supplement. On or after November 15, 2020, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the 2021 Notes, holders may convert the 2021 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, we will pay or deliver cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at our election.

The conversion rate is subject to adjustment for some events, including dividends paid in excess of threshold amounts stipulated in the agreement, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. As of June 30, 2019, the conversion rate was 17.4458 per $1,000 principal note. If we undergo a fundamental change (as defined in the 2021 Notes’ supplemental indenture), holders may require us to repurchase all or any portion of their notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

As discussed above, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, we drew on the A-2 Term Loans to pay the 2019 Notes in cash at their maturity in May 2019. Additionally, we elected to extinguish the Master Trust 2013 notes prior to their maturity in June 2019. Finally, in June 2019, we issued the 2029 Senior Unsecured Notes. There were no other material changes outside the ordinary course of business to the information regarding specified contractual obligations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the SEC.

We may enter into commitments to purchase goods and services in connection with the operations of our properties. Those commitments generally have terms of one-year or less and reflect expenditure levels comparable to our historical expenditures.

DISTRIBUTION POLICY

Distributions from our current or accumulated earnings are generally classified as ordinary income, whereas distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings, to the extent of a stockholder’s federal income tax basis in our common stock, are generally characterized as a return of capital. Under the 2017 Tax Legislation, U.S. stockholders that are individuals, trusts and estates generally may deduct up to 20% of the ordinary dividends (e.g., dividends not designated as capital gain dividends or qualified dividend income) received from a REIT for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2018 and before January 1, 2026. Distributions in excess of a stockholder’s federal income tax basis in our common stock are generally characterized as capital gain.

We are required to distribute 90% of our taxable income (subject to certain adjustments and excluding net capital gains) on an annual basis to maintain qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and are required to pay federal income tax at regular corporate rates to the extent we distribute less than 100% of our taxable income (including capital gains).

We intend to make distributions that will enable us to meet the distribution requirements applicable to REITs and to eliminate or minimize our obligation to pay corporate-level federal income and excise taxes.

Any distributions will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors, and their form, timing and amount, if any, will depend upon a number of factors, including our actual and projected results of operations, FFO, liquidity, cash flows and financial condition, the revenue we actually receive from our properties, our operating expenses, our debt service requirements, our capital expenditures, prohibitions and other limitations under our financing arrangements, our REIT taxable income, the annual REIT distribution requirements, applicable laws and such other factors as our Board of Directors deems relevant.

Cash Flows

The following table presents a summary of our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2019			2018			Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	144,275		$	160,411		$	(16,136	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(301,934	)		(14,346	)		(287,588	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities		101,227			(233,114	)		334,341
Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(56,432	)	$	(87,049	)	$	30,617

As of June 30, 2019, we had $21.0 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as compared to $77.4 million as of December 31, 2018 and $27.7 million as of June 30, 2018.

Operating Activities

Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily dependent upon the occupancy level of our portfolio, the rental rates specified in our leases, the collectability of rent and the level of our operating expenses and other general and administrative costs.

Cash flows generated by operations include the results of discontinued operations for the prior period. The direct reduction of portfolio size from the Spin-off was the primary driver in the decrease of net cash provided by operations. These Spin-Off related drivers include:

• a net decrease in cash rental revenue and interest on loans receivable of $87.8 million, comprised of $100.1 million reduction resulting from the Spin-Off, partially offset by $12.3 million increase due primarily to acquisitions;

• a decrease in other income of $1.6 million, primarily resulting from the pay-off of a loan receivable of $1.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018;

This decrease was offset by:

• a decrease in cash interest expense of $33.7 million,

• a decrease in transaction costs of $20.0 million,

• a decrease in property costs of $4.5 million,

• a decrease in general and administrative costs of $2.1 million, driven primarily by a reduction in severance costs period-over-period and

• an increase in related party fee income of $11.6 million, which excludes $0.4 million in non-cash income related to stock compensation awarded by SMTA to an employee of Spirit.

59

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities is generally used to fund property acquisitions, for investments in loans receivable and for capital expenditures. Cash provided by investing activities generally relates to the disposition of real estate and other assets.

Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 included $447.5 million for the acquisition of 126 properties and $25.7 million of capitalized real estate expenditures. These outflows were partially offset by $163.2 million in net proceeds from the disposition of 25 properties and $8.1 million in collections of principal on loans receivable.

During the same period in 2018, net cash used in investing activities consisted of $18.1 million for the acquisition of five properties, and $21.1 million of capitalized real estate expenditures, and $35.5 million for investments in loans receivable. These outflows were partially offset by $37.6 million in proceeds from the disposition of 40 properties and $22.8 million in collections of principal on loans receivable.

Financing Activities

Generally, our net cash provided by or used in financing activities is impacted by our borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and term loans, issuances of net-lease mortgage notes, common stock and debt offerings and repurchases and dividend payments on our common and preferred stock.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to net borrowings of $400 million under term loans, borrowings of $399.7 million under senior unsecured notes and net proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $162.3 million. These amounts were partially offset by the payment of dividends to equity owners of $113 million, repayment of $171.3 million on mortgages and notes payable, net repayments of $146.3 million on our revolving credit facilities, repayment of $402.5 million on convertible notes, deferred financing costs of $13.9 million, debt extinguishment costs of $12.3 million and common stock share repurchases for employee tax withholdings totaling $1.4 million.

During the same period in 2018, net cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to common stock share repurchases totaling $169.8 million, payment of dividends to equity owners of $164.7 million, the transfer of $73.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash to SMTA in conjunction with the Spin-Off and the net repayment of $60.6 million on mortgages and notes payable. These amounts were partially offset by net borrowings of $234.5 million under our Revolving Credit Facility.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2019, we did not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements.

New Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements herein.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT). FFO represents net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding real estate-related depreciation and amortization, impairment charges and net (gains) losses from property dispositions. FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. We use FFO as a supplemental performance measure because we believe that FFO is beneficial to investors as a starting point in measuring our operational performance. Specifically, in excluding real estate-related depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions and impairment charges, which do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of equity REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other equity REITs. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and does not capture the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. In addition, other equity REITs may not calculate FFO as we do, and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other equity REITs’ FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our performance.

60

AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure of operating performance used by many companies in the REIT industry. We adjust FFO to eliminate the impact of certain items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance, including restructuring and divestiture costs, other general and administrative costs associated with relocation of the Company's headquarters, transactions costs associated with our Spin-Off, default interest and fees on non-recourse mortgage indebtedness, debt extinguishment gains (losses), transaction costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of real estate investments subject to existing leases, costs associated with performing on a guarantee of a former tenant's debt, and certain non-cash items. These certain non-cash items include non-cash revenues (comprised of straight-line rents, amortization of above- and below-market rent on our leases, amortization of lease incentives, amortization of net premium (discount) on loans receivable, bad debt expense and amortization of capitalized lease transaction costs), non-cash interest expense (comprised of amortization of deferred financing costs and amortization of net debt discount/premium) and non-cash compensation expense (stock-based compensation expense). In addition, other equity REITs may not calculate AFFO as we do, and, accordingly, our AFFO may not be comparable to such other equity REITs’ AFFO. AFFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should only be considered a supplement, and not an alternative, to net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) as a performance measure.

Adjusted Debt

Adjusted Debt represents interest bearing debt (reported in accordance with GAAP) adjusted to exclude unamortized debt discount/premium, deferred financing costs, and reduced by cash and cash equivalents and cash reserves on deposit with lenders as additional security. By excluding these amounts, the result provides an estimate of the contractual amount of borrowed capital to be repaid, net of cash available to repay it. We believe this calculation constitutes a beneficial supplemental non-GAAP financial disclosure to investors in understanding our financial condition.

EBITDAre

EBITDAre is a non-GAAP financial measure and is computed in accordance with standards established by NAREIT. EBITDAre is defined as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), plus interest expense, plus income tax expense (if any), plus depreciation and amortization, plus (minus) losses and gains on the disposition of depreciated property, plus impairment write-downs of depreciated property and investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures, plus adjustments to reflect the Company's share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated real estate ventures.

Adjusted EBITDAre

Adjusted EBITDAre represents EBITDAre as adjusted for transaction costs, revenue producing acquisitions and dispositions for the quarter as if such acquisitions and dispositions had occurred as of the beginning of the quarter, severance charges, deal pursuit costs, and debt extinguishment gains (losses). We focus our business plans to enable us to sustain increasing shareholder value. Accordingly, we believe that excluding these items, which are not key drivers of our investment decisions and may cause short-term fluctuations in net income, provides a useful supplemental measure to investors and analysts in assessing the net earnings contribution of our real estate portfolio. Because these measures do not represent net income (loss) that is computed in accordance with GAAP, they should only be considered a supplement, and not an alternative, to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as a performance measure.

Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre

Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre is calculated as Adjusted EBITDAre for the quarter, adjusted for items where annualization would not be appropriate, multiplied by four. Our computation of Adjusted EBITDAre and Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre may differ from the methodology used by other equity REITs to calculate these measures and, therefore, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

Adjusted Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre

Adjusted Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure we use to evaluate the level of borrowed capital being used to increase the potential return of our real estate investments, and a proxy for a measure we believe is used by many lenders and ratings agencies to evaluate our ability to repay and service our debt obligations over time. We believe the ratio is a beneficial disclosure to investors as a supplemental means of evaluating our ability to meet obligations senior to those of our equity holders. Our computation of this ratio may differ from the methodology used by other equity REITs, and, therefore, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to financial market risks, especially interest rate risk. Interest rates and other factors, such as occupancy, rental rates and the financial condition of our tenants, influence our performance more so than does inflation. Changes in interest rates do not necessarily correlate with inflation rates or changes in inflation rates. As described in Item 2, we generally offer leases that provide for payments of base rent with scheduled increases and, to a lesser extent, contingent rent based on a percentage of the tenant’s gross sales to help mitigate the effect of inflation. Because the properties in our portfolio are generally leased to tenants under triple-net leases, our exposure to rising property operating costs due to inflation is mitigated.

Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary policies and domestic and global economic and political conditions, which are beyond our control. Our operating results depend heavily on the difference between the revenue from our assets and the interest expense incurred on our borrowings. We may incur additional variable rate debt in the future, including amounts that we may borrow under our 2019 Facilities Agreement. In addition, decreases in interest rates may lead to additional competition for the acquisition of real estate due to a reduction in desirable alternative income-producing investments, which may lead to a decrease in the yields on real estate we have targeted for acquisition. In such circumstances, if we are not able to offset the decrease in yields by obtaining lower interest costs on our borrowings, our results of operations will be adversely affected. Significant increases in interest rates may also have an adverse impact on our earnings if we are unable to acquire real estate with rental rates high enough to offset the increase in interest rates on our borrowings.

In the event interest rates rise significantly or there is an economic downturn, defaults may increase and result in credit losses, which may adversely affect our liquidity and operating results. In a decreasing interest rate environment, borrowers are generally more likely to prepay their loans in order to obtain financing at lower interest rates. However, the vast majority of our mortgage notes payable have prepayment clauses that make refinancing during a decreasing interest rate environment uneconomical. Investments in our mortgage loans receivable also have significant prepayment protection in the form of yield maintenance provisions, which provide us with substantial yield protection in a decreasing interest rate environment with respect to this portion of our investment portfolio.

The objective of our interest rate risk management policy is to match fund fixed-rate assets with fixed-rate liabilities. As of June 30, 2019, our assets were primarily long-term, fixed-rate leases (though most have scheduled rental increases during the terms of the leases). As of June 30, 2019, $1.3 billion of our indebtedness was fixed-rate, consisting of our Senior Unsecured Notes, mortgages and notes payable and Convertible Notes, with a weighted average stated interest rate of 4.24%, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts/premiums. As of June 30, 2019, $820.0 million of our indebtedness was variable-rate, consisting of our 2019 Credit Facility, A-1 Term Loans and A-2 Term Loans, with a weighted average stated interest rate of 3.50%. If one-month LIBOR as of June 30, 2019 increased by 12.5 basis points, or 0.125%, the resulting increase in annual interest expense with respect to the $820.0 million outstanding under the 2019 Credit Facility, A-1 Term Loans and A-2 Term Loans would impact our future earnings and cash flows by $1.0 million.

We intend to continue our practice of employing interest rate derivative contracts, such as interest rate swaps, to reduce our exposure, on specific transactions or on a portfolio basis, to changes in cash flows as a result of interest rate changes. We do not intend to enter into derivative contracts for speculative or trading purposes. We generally intend to utilize derivative instruments to hedge interest rate risk on our liabilities and not use derivatives for other purposes, such as hedging asset-related risks. Hedging transactions, however, may generate income which is not qualified income for purposes of maintaining our REIT status. We intend to structure any hedging transactions in a manner that does not jeopardize our status as a REIT.

Even with hedging strategies in place, there can be no assurance that our results of operations will remain unaffected as a result of changes in interest rates. In addition, hedging transactions using derivative instruments involve additional risks such as counterparty credit risk and basis risk. Basis risk in a hedging contract occurs when the index upon which the contract is based is more or less variable than the index upon which the hedged asset or liability is based, thereby making the hedge less effective. We address basis risk by matching, to a reasonable extent, the contract index to the index upon which the hedged asset or liability is based. Our interest rate risk management policy addresses counterparty credit risk (the risk of nonperformance by counterparties) by requiring that we deal only with major financial institutions that we deem credit worthy.

64

The estimated fair values of our debt instruments have been derived based on market quotes for comparable instruments or discounted cash flow analysis using estimates of the amount and timing of future cash flows, market rates and credit spreads. The debt instrument balances as of June 30, 2019 are as follows (in thousands):

	Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value
2019 Credit Facility	$	—	$	—
Term loans, net (1)		814,336		850,985
Senior Unsecured Notes, net (1)		691,940		715,497
Mortgages and notes payable, net (1)		286,312		305,845
Convertible Notes, net (1)		333,427		352,286

⁽¹⁾ The carrying value of the debt instruments are net of unamortized deferred financing costs and certain debt discounts/premiums.

Organization and Operations

Spirit Realty Capital, Inc. (the "Corporation" or "Spirit" or, with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company") operates as a self-administered and self-managed REIT that seeks to generate and deliver sustainable and attractive returns for stockholders by primarily investing in and managing a portfolio of single-tenant, operationally essential real estate throughout the U.S. that is generally leased on a long-term, triple-net basis to tenants operating within retail, office, industrial and data center property types. Single tenant, operationally essential real estate generally refers to free-standing, commercial real estate facilities where tenants conduct activities that are essential to the generation of their sales and profits. The Company began operations through a predecessor legal entity in 2003.

The Company’s operations are generally carried out through Spirit Realty, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") and its subsidiaries. Spirit General OP Holdings, LLC ("OP Holdings"), one of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, is the sole general partner and owns approximately 1% of the Operating Partnership. The Corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary ("Spirit Notes Partner, LLC") are the only limited partners and together own the remaining 99% of the Operating Partnership.

On May 31, 2018 (the "Distribution Date"), the Company completed the spin-off (the "Spin-Off") of the assets that collateralized Master Trust 2014, properties leased to Shopko, and certain other assets into an independent, publicly traded REIT, Spirit MTA REIT ("SMTA"). For periods prior to the Spin-Off, the historical financial results of SMTA are reflected in our consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Operating Partnership have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements include the normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the information required to be set forth therein. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. Certain information and note disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to SEC rules and regulations and, accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as filed with the SEC in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership include the accounts of the Operating Partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company also consolidates a variable interest entity ("VIE") when the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary. Determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE is based on whether an entity has (1) the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company's determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE considers all relationships between the Company and the VIE, including management agreements and other contractual arrangements. The Company evaluated SMTA under ASC 810 Consolidation at time of Spin-Off and continues to evaluate quarterly thereafter. As a result of this analysis, the Company concluded that while it has variable interests in SMTA, SMTA is not a VIE. Control of SMTA is therefore evaluated under the voting interest model and does not require consolidation by the Company.

All expenses incurred by the Company have been allocated to the Operating Partnership in accordance with the Operating Partnership's first amended and restated agreement of limited partnership, which management determined to be a reasonable method of allocation. Therefore, expenses incurred would not be materially different if the Operating Partnership had operated as an unaffiliated entity.

These consolidated financial statements include certain special purpose entities that were formed to acquire and hold real estate encumbered by indebtedness (see Note 4). Each special purpose entity is a separate legal entity and is the sole owner of its assets and responsible for its liabilities. The assets of these special purpose entities are not available to pay, or otherwise satisfy obligations to, the creditors of any affiliate or owner of another entity unless the special purpose entities have expressly agreed and are permitted to do so under their governing documents. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, net assets totaling $0.48 billion and $0.90 billion, respectively, were held, and net liabilities totaling $0.30 billion and $0.48 billion, respectively, were owed by these encumbered special purpose entities and are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Discontinued Operations

A discontinued operation represents: (i) a component of an entity or group of components that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale in a single transaction and represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results or (ii) an acquired business that is classified as held for sale on the date of acquisition. Examples of a strategic shift include disposing of: (i) a separate major line of business, (ii) a separate major geographic area of operations, or (iii) other major parts of the Company. The Company determined that the Spin-Off represented a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company's results and, therefore, SMTA 's operations qualify as discontinued operations. See Note 12 for further discussion on discontinued operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management believes its estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment Reporting

The Company views its operations as one segment, which consists of net leasing operations. The Company has no other reportable segments.

Revenue Recognition

Rental Income: Cash and Straight-line Rent

The Company primarily leases real estate to its tenants under long-term, triple-net leases that are classified as operating leases. To evaluate lease classification, the Company assesses the terms and conditions of the lease to determine the appropriate lease term. For the majority of our operating leases at June 30, 2019, the lease includes one or more options to extend, typically for a period of five to ten years per renewal option. Excluding Walgreen Co., less than 1% of the Company's operating leases at June 30, 2019 include an option to terminate. Walgreen Co. leases are generally for fifty years or more with several five-year termination periods after an initial non-cancelable term. For less than 6% of operating leases at June 30, 2019, the lease includes an option to purchase, where the purchase option is generally determined based on fair market value of the underlying property. The Company does not include any of these options in its evaluation for lease classification purposes or for recognizing rental income unless the Company is reasonably certain the tenant will exercise the option. 

Another component of lease classification which requires significant assumptions and judgment is the amount expected to be derived from the property at the end of the lease term. Generally, the Company assumes a value that is equal to net book value of the property at the date of the assessment, as the Company generally expects fair value to be equal to or greater than net book value. The Company seeks to protect residual value through its underwriting of acquisitions, incorporating the proprietary Spirit Property Ranking Model which is real estate centric. Once a property is acquired, the lessee is responsible for maintenance of the property, including insurance protecting any damage to the property. To further protect residual value, the Company supplements the tenant insurance policy with a master policy covering all properties owned by the Company. As an active manager, the Company will occasionally invest in capital improvements on properties, re-lease properties to new tenants or extend lease terms to protect residual value.

Some of the Company’s leases provide for contingent rent based on a percentage of the tenant’s gross sales. For contingent rentals that are based on a percentage of the tenant’s gross sales, the Company recognizes contingent rental revenue when the change in the factor on which the contingent lease payment is based actually occurs.

The Company’s leases generally provide for rent escalations throughout the lease terms. For leases that have contingent rent escalators indexed to future changes in the CPI, they may adjust over a one-year period or over multiple-year periods. Typically, these CPI-based escalators increase rent at a multiple of any increase in the CPI over a specified period. Because of the volatility and uncertainty with respect to future changes in the CPI and the Company’s inability to determine the extent to which any specific future change in the CPI is probable at each rent adjustment date during the entire term of these leases, increases in rental revenue from leases with this type of escalator are recognized when the changes in the rental rates have occurred.

For leases that provide for fixed contractual escalations, rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis to produce a constant periodic rent over the term of the lease. Accordingly, accrued rental revenue, calculated as the aggregate difference between the rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis and scheduled rents, represents unbilled rent receivables that the Company will receive only if the tenants make all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the leases.

Rental income is subject to an evaluation for collectability, which includes management’s estimates of amounts that will not be realized based on an assessment of the risks inherent in the portfolio, considering historical experience, as well as the tenant's payment history and financial condition. The Company records a provision for losses against rental income for amounts that are not probable of collection.

Rental Income: Tenant Reimbursement Revenue

Under a triple-net lease, the tenant is typically responsible for all improvements and is contractually obligated to pay all property operating expenses, such as real estate taxes, insurance premiums and repair and maintenance costs. Certain leases contain additional amounts recoverable from tenants for common area maintenance expenses and certain other recoverable expenses, which are non-lease components. The Company has elected to combine all its nonlease components, which were determined to have the same pattern of transfer as the related operating lease component, into a single combined lease component. Tenant reimbursement revenue is variable and is recognized as revenue in the period in which the related expenses are incurred, with the related expense included in property costs (including reimbursable). Tenant reimbursements are recorded on a gross basis in instances when our tenants reimburse us for property costs which we incur. Tenant receivables are carried net of any allowances for amounts that are not probable of collection.

Rental Income: Intangible Amortization

Initial direct costs associated with the origination of a lease are deferred and amortized over the related lease term as an adjustment to rental revenue. In-place lease intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining initial term of the related lease and included in depreciation and amortization expense. Above-market lease intangibles are amortized over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases as a decrease in rental revenue. Below-market lease intangibles are amortized as an increase to rental revenue over the remaining initial term of the respective leases, but may be amortized over the renewal periods if the Company believes it is reasonably certain the tenant will exercise the renewal option. If the Company believes it is reasonably certain a lease will terminate early, the unamortized portion of any related lease intangible is immediately recognized in impairments in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company reviews its rent and other tenant receivables for collectability on a regular basis, taking into consideration changes in factors such as the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates, and economic conditions in the area in which the tenant operates. If the collectability of a receivable with respect to any tenant is in doubt, a provision for uncollectible amounts will be established or a direct write-off of the specific receivable will be made. The Company provided for reserves for uncollectible amounts totaling $2.9 million and $4.9 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, against accounts receivable balances of $9.7 million and $12.4 million, respectively. Receivables are recorded within deferred costs and other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Receivables are written off against the reserves for uncollectible amounts when all possible means of collection have been exhausted.

For receivable balances related to the straight-line method of reporting rental revenue, the collectability is assessed in conjunction with the evaluation of rental income as described above. The Company has a reserve for losses of $0.7 million and $1.1 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, against straight-line receivables of $74.9 million and $69.4 million, respectively. These receivables are recorded within deferred costs and other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investment securities with maturities at acquisition of three months or less. The Company invests cash primarily in money market funds of major financial institutions with fund investments consisting of highly-rated money market instruments and other short-term investments. Restricted cash is classified within deferred costs and other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash consisted of the following (in thousands):

	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018		June 30, 2018
Cash and cash equivalents	$	9,984	$	14,493	$	9,289

⁽¹⁾ Funds held in lender-controlled accounts generally used to meet future debt service or certain property operating expenses.

^{(2) Deposits held as additional collateral support by lenders to fund improvements, repairs and leasing commissions incurred to secure a new tenant.}

⁽³⁾ Proceeds from the sale of assets pledged as collateral under the Master Trust 2013 notes, which are held on deposit until a qualifying substitution is made or the funds are applied as prepayment of principal. The Master Trust 2013 notes were extinguished in June 2019. See Note 4 for additional detail.

⁽⁴⁾ Funds held in lender-controlled accounts released after scheduled debt service requirements are met.

Goodwill

Goodwill arises from business combinations and represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the net fair value amounts that were assigned to the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value. No impairment was recorded for the periods presented.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax provided it continues to satisfy certain tests concerning the Company’s sources of income, the nature of its assets, the amounts distributed to its stockholders and the ownership of Company stock. Management believes the Company has qualified and will continue to qualify as a REIT and therefore, no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to state and local income and franchise taxes, and to federal income tax and excise tax on its undistributed income. Taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through any of the Company's taxable REIT subsidiaries is subject to federal, state, and local taxes, which are not material.

The Operating Partnership is a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Partnerships are pass-through entities and are not subject to U.S. federal income taxes, therefore no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying financial statements. Although most states and cities where the Operating Partnership operates follow the U.S. federal income tax treatment, there are certain jurisdictions such as Texas, Tennessee and Ohio that impose income or franchise taxes on a partnership.

Franchise taxes are included in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes the existing guidance for lease accounting Leases (Topic 840). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize leases on their balance sheets, and leaves lessor accounting largely unchanged. Leases pursuant to which the Company is the lessee consist of its corporate office, ground leases and equipment leases. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years, and as such, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019. ASU 2016-02 requires a modified retrospective approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to elect to use certain transition relief as follows:

• The Company elected to use the package of practical expedients, which permits the Company to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) any initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the effective date.

• The Company elected to use the comparative period expedient, which permits the Company to recognize any cumulative adjustments as of the date of initial application and not record adjustments to prior reported periods. As a result of this election, bad debt expense is being presented in "rental income" on a prospective basis, compared to "property costs (including reimbursable)" for periods prior to January 1, 2019. Bad debt (recovery) expense was $(0.6) million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The adoption of the lease standard did not result in a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening equity.

• The Company elected to use the land easements expedient, which permits the Company to not reassess land easements for potential lease classification.

• The Company elected to use the components expedient, which permits the Company to not separate nonlease components from lease components if timing and pattern of transfer is the same. The Company elected this expedient for all lessee and lessor operating leases, where certain leases contain nonlease components related to tenant reimbursement, and concluded that the leasing component is the predominant component.

• The Company elected not to use the hindsight expedient, which would require the re-evaluation of the lease term on all leases using current facts and circumstances.

As a lessee, the Company recognized the right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities for our operating leases of $6.4 million and $8.6 million, respectively, on January 1, 2019, which are included in deferred costs and other assets, net and accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. As a lessor, our recognition of rental income remained materially consistent with previous guidance, apart from expanded disclosure requirements. As such, the Company concludes that the overall impact of the ASU had no material impact on the Company's reported revenues, results of operations or financial position.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires more timely recognition of credit losses associated with financial assets. ASU 2016-13 requires financial assets (or a group of financial assets) measured at an amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Per the subsequently issued ASU 2018-19, receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of ASU 2016-13. As such, the Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements, but does not expect its impact to be material.

Revolving Credit Facilities

The Operating Partnership had access to an unsecured credit facility, the 2015 Credit Facility, which had a borrowing capacity of $800.0 million at December 31, 2018. On January 14, 2019, the Operating Partnership entered into a new 2019 Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and various lenders, comprised of the 2019 Credit Facility and the A-1 Term Loans. The 2019 Facilities Agreements replaced the existing 2015 Credit Agreement and 2015 Term Loan Agreement. The 2019 Credit Facility is comprised of $800.0 million of aggregate revolving commitments with a maturity date of March 31, 2023 and includes two six-month extensions that can be exercised at the Company’s option. The 2019 Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement includes an accordion feature providing for an additional $400.0 million of revolving borrowing capacity, subject to satisfying of certain requirements and obtaining additional lender commitments.

As of June 30, 2019, the outstanding loans under the 2019 Credit Facility bore interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 0.90% per annum and the aggregate revolving commitments incurred a facility fee of 0.20% per annum, in each case, based on the Operating Partnership's credit rating, which was upgraded to BBB by S&P in May 2019. Prior to the upgrade,

the 2019 Credit Facility bore interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 1.10% per annum and the aggregate revolving commitments incurred a facility fee of 0.25% per annum.

In connection with entering into the 2019 Credit Facility, the Company incurred costs of $4.8 million. These deferred financing costs are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining initial term of the 2019 Credit Facility. The unamortized deferred financing costs relating to the 2019 Credit Facility were $4.3 million as of June 30, 2019, compared to $0.4 million relating to the 2015 Credit Facility as of December 31, 2018, and are recorded in deferred costs and other assets, net on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

As of June 30, 2019, the full $800.0 million of borrowing capacity was available under the 2019 Credit Facility. No outstanding letters of credit existed under the agreement as of June 30, 2019. The Operating Partnership's ability to borrow under the 2019 Credit Facility is subject to ongoing compliance with a number of customary financial covenants and other customary affirmative and negative covenants. As of June 30, 2019, the Company and the Operating Partnership were in compliance with these financial covenants.

Term Loans

The Operating Partnership had an unsecured term loan facility, the 2015 Term Loan, which had a facility size of $420.0 million at December 31, 2018. As discussed above, on January 14, 2019, the Operating Partnership entered into a new 2019 Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement, comprised of the 2019 Credit Facility and the A-1 Term Loans, which replaced the existing 2015 Credit Agreement and 2015 Term Loan Agreement. The A-1 Term Loans have an aggregate borrowing amount of $420.0 million with a maturity date of March 31, 2024. The Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement includes an accordion feature providing for an additional $200.0 million of term loans, subject to satisfying certain requirements and obtaining additional lender commitments.

In addition, on January 14, 2019, the Operating Partnership entered into new A-2 Term Loans with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and various lenders, comprised of $400.0 million of delayed draw term loans with a maturity date of March 31, 2022. The A-2 Term Loans include an accordion feature providing for an additional $200.0 million of term loans, subject to satisfying certain requirements and obtaining additional lender commitments. The Company drew on the A-2 Term Loans to retire the 2.875% Convertible Notes upon their maturity in May 2019.

As of June 30, 2019, the A-1 Term Loans and A-2 Term Loans bore interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 1.00% per annum based on the Operating Partnership's credit rating. Prior to the credit rating upgrade in May 2019, they bore interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 1.25%. In addition, a ticking fee accrues on the unused portion of the commitments for the A-2 Term Loans at a rate of 0.20% until the earlier of July 12, 2019 and the termination of the commitments.

In connection with entering into the A-1 Term Loans and A-2 Term Loans, the Company incurred origination costs of $6.5 million. These deferred financing costs are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining initial term of the term loans. The unamortized deferred financing costs relating to the A-1 Term Loans and A-2 Term Loans were $5.7 million as of June 30, 2019, compared to $0.4 million related to the 2015 Term Loan as of December 31, 2018, and are recorded net against the principal balance of mortgages and notes payable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

As of June 30, 2019, the A-1 Term Loans had a $420.0 million outstanding balance and the A-2 Term Loans had a $400.0 million outstanding balance, with no available borrowing capacity. The Operating Partnership's ability to borrow under the term loans is subject to ongoing compliance with a number of customary financial covenants and other customary affirmative and negative covenants. The Corporation has unconditionally guaranteed all obligations of the Operating Partnership under the 2019 Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement. As of June 30, 2019, the Corporation and the Operating Partnership were in compliance with these financial covenants.

Senior Unsecured Notes

On August 18, 2016, the Operating Partnership issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes, which are guaranteed by the Company. The 2026 Senior Unsecured Notes were issued at 99.378% of their principal face amount, resulting in net proceeds of $296.2 million, after deducting transaction fees and expenses. The 2026 Senior Unsecured Notes accrue interest at a rate of 4.45% per annum, payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year, and mature on September 15, 2026.

On June 27, 2019, the Operating Partnership issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes, which are guaranteed by the Company. The 2029 Senior Unsecured Notes were issued at 99.274% of their principal face amount, resulting in net proceeds of $395.9 million, after deducting the debt discount and transaction fees and expenses. The 2029

Senior Unsecured Notes accrue interest at a rate of 4.00% per annum, payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year, and mature on July 15, 2029.

The Senior Unsecured Notes are redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the Operating Partnership’s option, at a redemption price equal to the sum of: an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the respective Senior Unsecured Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, up to, but not including, the redemption date; and a make-whole premium calculated in accordance with the respective indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the Senior Unsecured Notes are redeemed three months or less prior to their respective maturity dates, the redemption price will not include a make-whole premium.  

In connection with the 2016 offering, the Operating Partnership incurred $3.4 million in deferred financing costs and an offering discount of $1.9 million. In connection with the 2019 offering, the Operating Partnership incurred $3.8 million in deferred financing costs and an offering discount of $0.3 million. These amounts are being amortized to interest expense over the lives of the respective Senior Unsecured Notes. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the unamortized deferred financing costs were $6.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively, and the unamortized discount was $1.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Both the deferred financing costs and offering discount are recorded net against the Senior Unsecured Notes principal balance on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

In connection with the issuance of the Senior Unsecured Notes, the Company and Operating Partnership are subject to ongoing compliance with a number of customary financial covenants and other customary affirmative and negative covenants. As of June 30, 2019, the Company and the Operating Partnership were in compliance with these financial covenants.

Master Trust Notes

Master Trust 2013 is an asset-backed securitization platform through which the Company has raised capital through the issuance of non-recourse net-lease mortgage notes collateralized by commercial real estate, net-leases and mortgage loans. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company elected to retire the Master Trust 2013 notes, which had one series of notes outstanding, Series 2013-2 Class A, with a stated interest rate of 5.27%. These notes were issued by a single indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company which is a bankruptcy-remote, special purpose entity, and were secured by 267 owned and financed properties at time of repayment. As a result of the early repayment, the properties securing the notes became unencumbered and the Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $14.7 million.

CMBS

As of June 30, 2019, indirect wholly-owned special purpose entity subsidiaries of the Company were borrowers under six fixed-rate non-recourse loans, which have been securitized into CMBS and are secured by the borrowers' respective leased properties and related assets. The stated interest rates of the loans as of June 30, 2019 ranged from 4.67% to 6.00%, with a weighted average stated interest rate of 5.35%. As of June 30, 2019, the loans were secured by 100 properties. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the unamortized deferred financing costs associated with these fixed-rate loans were $2.9 million and $3.2 million, respectively, and the unamortized net offering premium was $0.1 million as of both periods. Both the deferred financing costs and offering premium were recorded net against the principal balance of the mortgages and notes payable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the respective loans.

Related Party Mortgage Loans Payable

Wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company are the borrower on four mortgage loans payable held by SMTA and secured by six single-tenant commercial properties. In total, these mortgage notes had outstanding principal of $26.4 million and $27.9 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which is included in mortgages and notes payable, net on the consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2019, these mortgage notes had a weighted average stated interest rate of 1.00%, a weighted average term of 8.7 years and were eligible for early repayment without penalty. In conjunction with SMTA’s announced sale of Master Trust 2014, the Company has agreed to sell three of the underlying properties for gross proceeds of $55 million, which will result in the extinguishment of the mortgage loan which they collateralize. See Note 11 for additional detail.

Convertible Notes

In May 2014, the Company issued $402.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2.875% convertible notes due in 2019 and $345.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% convertible notes due in 2021. Proceeds from the issuance were contributed to the Operating Partnership and are recorded as a note payable to Spirit Realty Capital, Inc. on the consolidated balance sheets of the Operating Partnership. The 2019 Notes matured on May 15, 2019 and were settled in

cash. The 2021 Notes will mature on May 15, 2021 and interest is payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year.

The 2021 Notes are convertible only during certain periods and, subject to certain circumstances, into cash, shares of the Company's common stock, or a combination thereof. The initial conversion rate was 15.2727 per $1,000 principal note (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $65.48 per share of common stock, representing a 22.5% premium above the public offering price of the common stock offered concurrently at the time the 2021 Notes were issued). The conversion rate is subject to adjustment for certain anti-dilution events, including special distributions and regular quarterly cash dividends exceeding a current threshold of $0.73026 per share. As of June 30, 2019, the conversion rate was 17.4458 per $1,000 principal note, which reflects the adjustment from the SMTA dividend distribution related to the Spin-Off, in addition to the other regular dividends declared during the life of the Convertible Notes. Earlier conversion may be triggered if shares of the Company's common stock trade higher than the established thresholds, if the 2021 Notes trade below established thresholds, or certain corporate events occur.

In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company recorded a discount of $56.7 million, which represents the estimated value of the embedded conversion feature for each of the Convertible Notes. The discount is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of each of the 2019 Notes and 2021 Notes. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the unamortized discount was $8.8 million and $13.3 million, respectively. The discount is shown net against the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Convertible Notes on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The equity component of the conversion feature is recorded in capital in excess of par value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, net of financing transaction costs.

In connection with the offering, the Company also incurred $19.6 million in deferred financing costs. This amount has been allocated on a pro-rata basis to each of the Convertible Notes and is being amortized to interest expense over the term of each note. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the unamortized deferred financing costs relating to the Convertible Notes were $2.8 million and $4.3 million, respectively, and recorded net against the Convertible Notes principal balance on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Debt Extinguishment

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company retired the Master Trust 2013 notes, as discussed above, resulting in a loss on debt extinguishment of $14.7 million. The Company also extinguished $10.4 million principal amount of CMBS indebtedness on one defaulted loan, which was secured by one property and had a default interest rate of 9.85%, resulting in a gain on debt extinguishment of $9.5 million. Finally, as a result of the termination of the 2015 Credit Agreement and 2015 Term Loan Agreement, the Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $0.7 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company extinguished a total of $179.3 million aggregate principal amount of indebtedness, including the retirement of $123.1 million of Master Trust 2013 Series 2013-1 Class A notes and $56.2 million of CMBS debt. The debt extinguished had a weighted average contractual interest rate of 5.69%. As a result of these transactions, the Company recognized a net gain on debt extinguishment of approximately $26.7 million.

Stockholders' Equity and Partners' Capital

Note 5. Stockholders’ Equity and Partners' Capital

Common Stock

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, portions of restricted common stock awards granted to certain of the Company's officers and other employees vested. The vesting of these awards, granted pursuant to the Amended Incentive Award Plan, resulted in federal and state income tax liabilities for the recipients. As permitted by the terms of the Amended Incentive Award Plan and the award grants, certain executive officers and employees elected to surrender approximately 34 thousand shares of common stock valued at $1.4 million, solely to pay the associated statutory tax withholdings during the six months ended June 30, 2019. In May 2019, the Company entered into forward sale agreements with certain financial institutions acting as forward purchasers in connection with an offering of 11.5 million shares of common stock at an initial gross offering price of $41.00 per share, before underwriting discounts and offering expenses. The forward purchasers borrowed and sold an aggregate of 11.5 million shares of common stock in the offering. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of its shares of common stock by the forward purchasers at the time of the offering. The forward sale price that the Company will receive upon physical settlement of the agreements, which was initially $39.36 per share, will be subject to adjustment for (i) a floating interest rate factor equal to a specified daily rate less a spread, (ii) the forward purchasers' stock borrowing costs and (iii) scheduled dividends during the term of the forward sale agreements. As of June 30, 2019, 1.9 million of these shares had been settled, generating gross proceeds of $76.0 million.

Preferred Stock

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had 6.9 million shares of 6.00% Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. The Series A Preferred Stock pays cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 6.00% per annum on the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share (equivalent to $0.375 per share on a quarterly basis and $1.50 per share on an annual basis). For both the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company paid $5.2 million in Series A Preferred Stock dividends.

ATM Program

In November 2016, the Company's Board of Directors approved a new ATM Program and the Company terminated its existing program. The agreement provides for the offer and sale of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.05 par value per share (the “common stock”), having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $500.0 million through the agents, as its sales agents or, if applicable, as forward sellers for forward purchasers (as defined below), or directly to the agents acting as principals.

As of June 30, 2019, 2.4 million shares of the Company's common stock have been sold under the new ATM Program, of which 2.3 million were sold during the six months ended June 30, 2019 at a weighted average price per share of $39.19,

generating $91.4 million in gross proceeds. 1.8 million of these sales were through forward sales agreements, which were physically settled in shares. Aggregate gross proceeds capacity of $404.9 million remained available under the program as of June 30, 2019.

Stock Repurchase Programs

In May 2018, the Company's Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program, which authorizes the Company to repurchase up to $250.0 million of its common stock. These purchases can be made in the open market or through private transactions from time to time over the 18-month time period following authorization, depending on prevailing market conditions and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. Purchase activity will be dependent on various factors, including the Company's capital position, operating results, funds generated by asset sales, dividends that may be required by those sales, and investment options that may be available, including acquiring new properties or retiring debt. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be suspended at any time at the Company's discretion. As of June 30, 2019, no shares of the Company's common stock had been repurchased under the new program and the full $250.0 million in gross repurchase capacity remained available.

Dividends Declared

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company's Board of Directors declared the following preferred and common stock dividends:

Declaration Date	Dividend Per Share		Record Date	Total Amount (in thousands)		Payment Date

Commitments and Contingencies

Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is periodically subject to claims or litigation in the ordinary course of business, including claims generated from business conducted by tenants on real estate owned by the Company. In these instances, the Company is typically indemnified by the tenant against any losses that might be suffered, and the Company and/or the tenant are typically insured against such claims. The Company is contingently liable for $5.7 million of debt owed by one of its former tenants until the maturity of the debt on March 15, 2022 and is indemnified by that former tenant for any payments the Company may be required to make on such debt. The Company has accrued the full $5.7 million liability in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets as of both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The Company estimates future costs for known environmental remediation requirements when it is probable that the Company has incurred a liability and the related costs can be reasonably estimated. The Company considers various factors when estimating its environmental liabilities, and adjustments are made when additional information becomes available that affects the estimated costs to study or remediate any environmental issues. When only a wide range of estimated amounts can be reasonably established and no other amount within the range is better than another, the low end of the range is recorded in the consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2019, no accruals have been made.

As of June 30, 2019, there were no outstanding claims against the Company that are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Purchase and Capital Improvement Commitments

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had commitments totaling $71.4 million, of which $38.7 million relates to future acquisitions, with the remainder to fund improvements on properties the Company currently owns. Commitments related to

acquisitions contain standard cancellation clauses contingent on the results of due diligence. $50.7 million of these commitments are expected to be funded during fiscal year 2019, with the remainder to be funded by 2021.

Lessee Contracts

The Company leases its corporate office space and certain office equipment, which are classified as operating leases. The Company's lease of its corporate office space has an initial term that expires on January 31, 2027 and is renewable at the Company's option for two additional periods of five years each after the initial term. The lease can be early terminated by the Company on July 31, 2023 for a fee based on rent at time of termination. The corporate office lease contains a variable lease cost related to the lease of parking spaces and a nonlease component related to the reimbursement of certain common area maintenance expenses, both of which are recognized as incurred.

The Company is also a lessee under four long-term, non-cancelable ground leases under which it is obligated to pay monthly rent as of June 30, 2019. For all four of the ground leases, rental expenses are reimbursed by unrelated third parties, and the corresponding rental revenue is recorded in rental income on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. All leases are classified as operating leases and have a weighted average remaining lease term of 8.1 years.

The following table summarizes total rental expenses recognized on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

Total operating lease liabilities	$	1,332		$	6,646		$	7,978

Imputed interest was calculated using a weighted-average discount rate of 4.26%. The discount rate is based on our estimated incremental borrowing rate, calculated as the treasury rate for the same period as the underlying lease term, plus a spread determined using factors including the Company's credit rating and REIT industry performance. The evaluation of the Company's right-of-use lease asset associated with the corporate office included the unamortized portion of a $1.7 million cash lease incentive paid at inception of the lease. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had a right-of-use lease asset balance of $5.9 million for these lessee contracts.

Derivative and Hedging Activities

Note 7. Derivative and Hedging Activities

The Company uses interest rate derivative contracts to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates on its variable rate debt. These derivatives are considered cash flow hedges and are recorded on a gross basis at fair value. Assessments of hedge effectiveness are performed quarterly using either a qualitative or quantitative approach. The Company recognizes the entire change in the fair value in AOCL and the change is reflected as derivative changes in fair value in the

supplemental disclosures of non-cash activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Amounts will subsequently be reclassified to income or expense when the hedged item affects earnings. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative or trading purposes. The Company does not have netting arrangements related to its derivatives.

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by its derivative counterparties. The Company evaluates counterparty credit risk through monitoring the creditworthiness of counterparties, which includes review of debt ratings and financial performance. To mitigate credit risk, the Company enters into agreements with counterparties it considers credit-worthy, such as large financial institutions with favorable credit ratings.

In December 2018, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements. The following table summarizes the notional amount and fair value of these instruments (dollars in thousands), which are recorded in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets (dollars in thousands):

								Fair Value of Liability
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments	Notional Amount		Fixed Interest Rate			Effective Date	Maturity Date	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are summarized below. The following table sets forth the Company’s financial liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

			Fair Value Hierarchy Level
Description	Fair Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

December 31, 2018
Derivatives:
Interest rate swaps financial liabilities	$	7,159	$	—	$	7,159	$	—

The interest rate swaps are measured using a market approach, using prices obtained from a nationally recognized pricing service and pricing models with market observable inputs such as interest rates and volatilities. These measurements are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurement of an asset on a nonrecurring basis occurs when events or changes in circumstances related to an asset indicate that the carrying amount of the asset is no longer recoverable. The following table sets forth the Company’s

assets that were accounted for at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands):

			Fair Value Hierarchy Level
Description	Fair Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Long-lived assets held for sale	$	7,695	$	—	$	—	$	7,695

Real estate assets and their related intangible assets are evaluated for impairment based on certain indicators including, but not limited to: the asset being held for sale, vacant or non-operating, tenant bankruptcy or delinquency, and leases expiring in 60 days or less. The fair values of impaired real estate and intangible assets were determined by using the following information, depending on availability, in order of preference: signed purchase and sale agreements or letters of intent; recently quoted bid or ask prices, or market prices for comparable properties; estimates of cash flow, which consider, among other things, contractual and forecasted rental revenues, leasing assumptions, and expenses based upon market conditions; and expectations for the use of the real estate. Based on these inputs, the Company determined that its valuation of the impaired real estate and intangible assets falls within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, seven and eight long-lived assets held and used, respectively, were accounted for at fair value. For three of the held and used properties accounted for at fair value as of December 31, 2018, the buildings were fully impaired due to our non-payment on the related ground leases.

For four of the held and used property accounted for at fair value as of June 30, 2019, the Company estimated property fair value using price per square foot of comparable properties. The following tables provides information about the price per square foot of comparable properties input used:

	June 30, 2019					December 31, 2018

For the remaining three held and used property accounted for at fair value as of June 30, 2019 and the remaining five held and used properties accounted for at fair value as of December 31, 2018, the Company estimated property fair value using price per square foot based on a listing price or a broker opinion of value. The following table provides information about the price per square foot based on a listing price and broker opinion of value used as inputs (price per square foot in dollars):

Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial assets and liabilities for which the carrying values approximate their fair values include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and escrow deposits, and accounts receivable and payable. Generally, these assets and liabilities are short-term in duration and are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value, on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

In addition to the disclosures for assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value at the balance sheet date, companies are required to disclose the estimated fair values of all financial instruments, even if they are not carried at their fair values. The fair values of financial instruments are estimates based upon market conditions and perceived risks at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. These estimates require management’s judgment and may not be indicative of the future fair values of the assets and liabilities.

The estimated fair values of these financial instruments have been derived based on market quotes for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or discounted cash flow analyses using estimates of the amount and timing of future cash flows, market rates and credit spreads. These measurements are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The following table discloses fair value information for these financial instruments (in thousands):

Compensation Cost Items [Abstract]

Incentive Award Plan

Note 9. Incentive Award Plan

Restricted Shares of Common Stock

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company granted 173 thousand restricted shares under the Amended Incentive Award Plan to certain executive officers, Board of Directors and employees. The Company recorded $6.6 million in deferred compensation associated with these grants, which will be recognized in expense over the service period of the awards. As of June 30, 2019, there were approximately 399 thousand unvested restricted shares outstanding.

Market-Based Awards

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Board of Directors, or committee thereof, approved target grants of 97 thousand market-based awards to executive officers of the Company. The performance period of these grants runs primarily through December 31, 2021. Potential shares of the Company's common stock that each participant is eligible to receive is based on the initial target number of shares granted, multiplied by a percentage range between 0% and 250%. Grant date fair value was calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation model, which incorporated stock price correlation, projected dividend yields and other variables over the time horizons matching the performance periods. Significant inputs for the calculation were expected volatility of the Company of 25.4% and expected volatility of the Company's peers, ranging from 15.3% to 30.8%. Stock-based compensation expense associated with unvested market-based awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum required service period, which is generally three years.

Approximately $2.3 million and $1.7 million in dividend rights have been accrued for non-vested market-based awards outstanding as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. For outstanding non-vested awards at June 30, 2019, 0.5 million shares would have been released based on the Company's TSR relative to the specified peer groups through that date.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $3.9 million and $4.7 million, respectively, in stock-based compensation expense, and for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $7.5 million and $9.1 million, respectively. These amounts are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

As of June 30, 2019, the remaining unamortized stock-based compensation expense totaled $19.5 million, including $10.3 million related to restricted stock awards and $9.2 million related to market-based awards. As of December 31, 2018, the remaining unamortized stock-based compensation expense totaled $15.5 million, including $8.1 million related to restricted stock awards and $7.4 million related to market-based awards. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period of each applicable award.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Income Per Share and Partnership Unit

Note 10. Income Per Share and Partnership Unit

Income per share and unit has been computed using the two-class method, which is computed by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common stockholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. In applying the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to both shares of common stock and participating securities based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Classification of the Company's unvested restricted stock, which contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends, are deemed participating securities under the two-class method. Under the two-class method, earnings attributable to unvested restricted shares are deducted from income from continuing operations in the computation of net income attributable to common stockholders.

The table below is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the computation of basic and diluted net income per share and unit computed using the two-class method (dollars in thousands):

The Company intends to satisfy its exchange obligation for the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to the note holders entirely in cash; therefore, the "if-converted" method does not apply and the treasury stock method is being used. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company's average stock price was below the conversion price, resulting in zero potentially dilutive shares related to the conversion spread for all periods.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]

Related Party Transactions and Arrangements

Note 11. Related Party Transactions and Arrangements

Cost Sharing Arrangements

In conjunction with the Spin-Off, the Company and SMTA entered into certain agreements, including the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement and Insurance Sharing Agreement. These agreements provide a framework for the relationship between the Company and SMTA after the Spin-Off, by which Spirit may incur certain expenses on behalf of SMTA that must be reimbursed in a timely manner. In connection with these arrangements, the Company had $0.1 million accrued receivable balances as of both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Additionally, the Company had accrued payable balances of $20 thousand and $1.8 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, in connection with these arrangements.

Asset Management Agreement

In conjunction with the Spin-Off, the Company entered into the Asset Management Agreement pursuant to which the Operating Partnership will provide various services subject to the supervision of SMTA's Board of Trustees, including, but not limited to: (i) performing all of SMTA's day-to-day functions, (ii) sourcing, analyzing and executing on investments and dispositions, (iii) determining investment criteria, (iv) performing investment and liability management duties, including financing and hedging, and (v) performing financial and accounting management. For its services, the Company is entitled to an annual management fee of $20.0 million per annum, payable monthly in arrears. Additionally, the Company may be entitled to, under certain circumstances, a promoted interest fee based on the total shareholder return of SMTA's common shares during the relevant period, as well as a termination fee. No revenue for the promoted interest fee or termination fee has been recognized as they do not meet the criteria for recognition under ASC 606-10 as of June 30, 2019. Asset management fees of $5.0 million and $10.0 million were earned during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $1.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, and are included in related party fee income in the consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, under the terms of this agreement, the Company recognized related party fee income of $0.4 million, which was fully offset by $0.4 million of general and expense, for other compensation awarded by SMTA to an employee of Spirit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. As of both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had accrued receivable balances of $1.7 million related to the Asset Management Agreement.

Property Management and Servicing Agreement

The Operating Partnership provides property management services and special services for Master Trust 2014. The property management fees accrue daily at 0.25% per annum of the collateral value of the Master Trust 2014 collateral pool less any specially serviced assets, and the special servicing fees accrue daily at 0.75% per annum of the collateral value of any assets deemed to be specially serviced per the terms of the Property Management and Servicing Agreement dated May 20, 2014. Property management fees of $1.4 million and $3.0 million were earned during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to $0.5 million earned during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. Special servicing fees of $0.4 million and $0.8 million were earned during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $52 thousand during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. These fees are included in related party fee income in the consolidated statements of operations. As of both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had accrued receivable balances of $0.5 million related to the Property Management and Servicing Agreement.

Related Party Loans Payable

Wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company are the borrower on four mortgage loans payable to SMTA and secured by six single-tenant commercial properties owned by the Company. In total, these mortgage notes had an outstanding principal balance of $26.4 million and $27.9 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which is included in mortgages and notes payable, net on the consolidated balance sheet. The notes incurred interest expense of $67 thousand and $0.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to $25 thousand for both the both the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, which is included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2019, these mortgage notes have a weighted-average stated interest rate of 1.00%, a weighted-average term of 8.7 years and are eligible for early repayment without penalty.

Related Party Notes Receivable

In conjunction with the Master Trust 2014 Series 2017-1 notes issuance completed in December 2017, the Operating Partnership, as sponsor of the issuance, retained a 5.0% economic interest in the Master Trust 2014 Series 2017-1 notes as required by the risk retention rules issued under 17 CFR Part 246. The principal amount receivable under the notes was

$33.5 million as of both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which is reflected as Investment in Master Trust 2014 on the consolidated balance sheet. The notes generated interest income of $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to $128 thousand for the both the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, which is included in interest income on loans receivable in the consolidated statements of operations. The notes have a weighted-average stated interest rate of 4.6% with a remaining term of 3.4 years to maturity as of June 30, 2019. The notes are classified as held-to-maturity and, as of June 30, 2019, the amortized cost basis is equal to carrying value.

Investments in SMTA

In conjunction with the Spin-Off, SMTA issued to the Operating Partnership and one of its affiliates, both wholly-owned subsidiaries of Spirit, a total of 6.0 million shares of Series A preferred stock with an aggregate liquidation preference of $150.0 million (the "SMTA Preferred Stock"). The SMTA Preferred Stock pays cash dividends at the rate of 10.0% per annum on the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share (equivalent to $0.625 per share on a quarterly basis and $2.50 per share on an annual basis). Spirit recognized $3.8 million and $7.5 million in dividend income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to $1.3 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, which is reflected as preferred dividend income from SMTA in the consolidated statements of operations. Preferred dividend income is recognized when dividends are declared. As of both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had accrued receivable balances of $3.8 million related to the preferred dividends. The carrying value of the SMTA Preferred Stock is $150.0 million as of both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, which is reflected in the consolidated balance sheets and will be accounted for at cost, less impairments, if any.

Recent Developments

In June 2019, SMTA announced it reached a definitive agreement to sell the assets held in Master Trust 2014, subject to certain conditions including SMTA shareholder approval. In conjunction with this announcement, the Company has agreed to the following, subject to the completion of the sale:

• Terminate the existing Asset Management Agreement (SMTA will not be required to deliver notice 180 days in advance of termination or enter into an eight month transition services period);

• Sell the fee interest in three of the Company’s properties to a subsidiary of SMTA for $55.0 million in gross proceeds, subject to customary prorations, and extinguish the related party mortgage loans payable (with an outstanding principal balance of $26.4 million as of June 30, 2019);

• Waive the Company’s rights to receive any potential promoted interest fee; and

• Enter into an interim asset management agreement with SMTA whereby the Company’s will receive $1 million during the initial one-year term and $4 million for any renewal one-year term, plus certain cost reimbursements, to manage and liquidate the remaining SMTA assets; such agreement is terminable at any time by SMTA and by Spirit after the initial one-year term, in each case without a termination fee.

Assuming a closing of the sale of the Master Trust 2014 assets at the end of the third quarter of 2019, the Company expects to:

• Receive a termination fee for the Asset Management Agreement of approximately $48 million ($35 million net of estimated tax);

• Receive $150 million for the repurchase of our preferred equity investment in SMTA;  

• Redeem the Investment in Master Trust 2014 notes (with an outstanding principal balance of $33.5 million as of June 30, 2019); and

• Terminate the Property Management and Servicing Agreement for Master Trust 2014 in connection with the redemption of the Master Trust 2014 notes.

Discontinued Operations

Note 12. Discontinued Operations

On May 31, 2018, the Company completed the Spin-Off of SMTA by means of a pro rata distribution of one share of SMTA common stock for every ten shares of Spirit common stock held by each of Spirit's stockholders of record as of May 18, 2018. The Company determined that the Spin-Off represented a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company's results and, therefore, SMTA 's operations qualify as discontinued operations. Accordingly, for periods prior to the Spin-Off, the historical financial results of SMTA are reflected in our consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The discontinued operations have been classified as loss from discontinued operations on the

consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. The consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and all other notes herein include the results of both continuing operations and discontinued operations.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2019

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Operating Partnership have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements include the normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the information required to be set forth therein. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. Certain information and note disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to SEC rules and regulations and, accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as filed with the SEC in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership include the accounts of the Operating Partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company also consolidates a variable interest entity ("VIE") when the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary. Determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE is based on whether an entity has (1) the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company's determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE considers all relationships between the Company and the VIE, including management agreements and other contractual arrangements. The Company evaluated SMTA under ASC 810 Consolidation at time of Spin-Off and continues to evaluate quarterly thereafter. As a result of this analysis, the Company concluded that while it has variable interests in SMTA, SMTA is not a VIE. Control of SMTA is therefore evaluated under the voting interest model and does not require consolidation by the Company.

All expenses incurred by the Company have been allocated to the Operating Partnership in accordance with the Operating Partnership's first amended and restated agreement of limited partnership, which management determined to be a reasonable method of allocation. Therefore, expenses incurred would not be materially different if the Operating Partnership had operated as an unaffiliated entity.

Discontinued Operations

A discontinued operation represents: (i) a component of an entity or group of components that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale in a single transaction and represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results or (ii) an acquired business that is classified as held for sale on the date of acquisition. Examples of a strategic shift include disposing of: (i) a separate major line of business, (ii) a separate major geographic area of operations, or (iii) other major parts of the Company. The Company determined that the Spin-Off represented a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company's results and, therefore, SMTA 's operations qualify as discontinued operations. See Note 12 for further discussion on discontinued operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management believes its estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment Reporting

The Company views its operations as one segment, which consists of net leasing operations. The Company has no other reportable segments.

Revenue Recognition

Rental Income: Cash and Straight-line Rent

The Company primarily leases real estate to its tenants under long-term, triple-net leases that are classified as operating leases. To evaluate lease classification, the Company assesses the terms and conditions of the lease to determine the appropriate lease term. For the majority of our operating leases at June 30, 2019, the lease includes one or more options to extend, typically for a period of five to ten years per renewal option. Excluding Walgreen Co., less than 1% of the Company's operating leases at June 30, 2019 include an option to terminate. Walgreen Co. leases are generally for fifty years or more with several five-year termination periods after an initial non-cancelable term. For less than 6% of operating leases at June 30, 2019, the lease includes an option to purchase, where the purchase option is generally determined based on fair market value of the underlying property. The Company does not include any of these options in its evaluation for lease classification purposes or for recognizing rental income unless the Company is reasonably certain the tenant will exercise the option. 

Another component of lease classification which requires significant assumptions and judgment is the amount expected to be derived from the property at the end of the lease term. Generally, the Company assumes a value that is equal to net book value of the property at the date of the assessment, as the Company generally expects fair value to be equal to or greater than net book value. The Company seeks to protect residual value through its underwriting of acquisitions, incorporating the proprietary Spirit Property Ranking Model which is real estate centric. Once a property is acquired, the lessee is responsible for maintenance of the property, including insurance protecting any damage to the property. To further protect residual value, the Company supplements the tenant insurance policy with a master policy covering all properties owned by the Company. As an active manager, the Company will occasionally invest in capital improvements on properties, re-lease properties to new tenants or extend lease terms to protect residual value.

Some of the Company’s leases provide for contingent rent based on a percentage of the tenant’s gross sales. For contingent rentals that are based on a percentage of the tenant’s gross sales, the Company recognizes contingent rental revenue when the change in the factor on which the contingent lease payment is based actually occurs.

The Company’s leases generally provide for rent escalations throughout the lease terms. For leases that have contingent rent escalators indexed to future changes in the CPI, they may adjust over a one-year period or over multiple-year periods. Typically, these CPI-based escalators increase rent at a multiple of any increase in the CPI over a specified period. Because of the volatility and uncertainty with respect to future changes in the CPI and the Company’s inability to determine the extent to which any specific future change in the CPI is probable at each rent adjustment date during the entire term of these leases, increases in rental revenue from leases with this type of escalator are recognized when the changes in the rental rates have occurred.

For leases that provide for fixed contractual escalations, rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis to produce a constant periodic rent over the term of the lease. Accordingly, accrued rental revenue, calculated as the aggregate difference between the rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis and scheduled rents, represents unbilled rent receivables that the Company will receive only if the tenants make all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the leases.

Rental income is subject to an evaluation for collectability, which includes management’s estimates of amounts that will not be realized based on an assessment of the risks inherent in the portfolio, considering historical experience, as well as the tenant's payment history and financial condition. The Company records a provision for losses against rental income for amounts that are not probable of collection.

Rental Income: Tenant Reimbursement Revenue

Under a triple-net lease, the tenant is typically responsible for all improvements and is contractually obligated to pay all property operating expenses, such as real estate taxes, insurance premiums and repair and maintenance costs. Certain leases contain additional amounts recoverable from tenants for common area maintenance expenses and certain other recoverable expenses, which are non-lease components. The Company has elected to combine all its nonlease components, which were determined to have the same pattern of transfer as the related operating lease component, into a single combined lease component. Tenant reimbursement revenue is variable and is recognized as revenue in the period in which the related expenses are incurred, with the related expense included in property costs (including reimbursable). Tenant reimbursements are recorded on a gross basis in instances when our tenants reimburse us for property costs which we incur. Tenant receivables are carried net of any allowances for amounts that are not probable of collection.

Rental Income: Intangible Amortization

Initial direct costs associated with the origination of a lease are deferred and amortized over the related lease term as an adjustment to rental revenue. In-place lease intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining initial term of the related lease and included in depreciation and amortization expense. Above-market lease intangibles are amortized over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases as a decrease in rental revenue. Below-market lease intangibles are amortized as an increase to rental revenue over the remaining initial term of the respective leases, but may be amortized over the renewal periods if the Company believes it is reasonably certain the tenant will exercise the renewal option. If the Company believes it is reasonably certain a lease will terminate early, the unamortized portion of any related lease intangible is immediately recognized in impairments in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company reviews its rent and other tenant receivables for collectability on a regular basis, taking into consideration changes in factors such as the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates, and economic conditions in the area in which the tenant operates. If the collectability of a receivable with respect to any tenant is in doubt, a provision for uncollectible amounts will be established or a direct write-off of the specific receivable will be made. The Company provided for reserves for uncollectible amounts totaling $2.9 million and $4.9 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, against accounts receivable balances of $9.7 million and $12.4 million, respectively. Receivables are recorded within deferred costs and other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Receivables are written off against the reserves for uncollectible amounts when all possible means of collection have been exhausted.

For receivable balances related to the straight-line method of reporting rental revenue, the collectability is assessed in conjunction with the evaluation of rental income as described above. The Company has a reserve for losses of $0.7 million and $1.1 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, against straight-line receivables of $74.9 million and $69.4 million, respectively. These receivables are recorded within deferred costs and other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investment securities with maturities at acquisition of three months or less. The Company invests cash primarily in money market funds of major financial institutions with fund investments consisting of highly-rated money market instruments and other short-term investments. Restricted cash is classified within deferred costs and other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Goodwill

Goodwill arises from business combinations and represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the net fair value amounts that were assigned to the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax provided it continues to satisfy certain tests concerning the Company’s sources of income, the nature of its assets, the amounts distributed to its stockholders and the ownership of Company stock. Management believes the Company has qualified and will continue to qualify as a REIT and therefore, no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to state and local income and franchise taxes, and to federal income tax and excise tax on its undistributed income. Taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through any of the Company's taxable REIT subsidiaries is subject to federal, state, and local taxes, which are not material.

The Operating Partnership is a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Partnerships are pass-through entities and are not subject to U.S. federal income taxes, therefore no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying financial statements. Although most states and cities where the Operating Partnership operates follow the U.S. federal income tax treatment, there are certain jurisdictions such as Texas, Tennessee and Ohio that impose income or franchise taxes on a partnership.

Franchise taxes are included in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes the existing guidance for lease accounting Leases (Topic 840). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize leases on their balance sheets, and leaves lessor accounting largely unchanged. Leases pursuant to which the Company is the lessee consist of its corporate office, ground leases and equipment leases. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years, and as such, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019. ASU 2016-02 requires a modified retrospective approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to elect to use certain transition relief as follows:

• The Company elected to use the package of practical expedients, which permits the Company to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) any initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the effective date.

• The Company elected to use the comparative period expedient, which permits the Company to recognize any cumulative adjustments as of the date of initial application and not record adjustments to prior reported periods. As a result of this election, bad debt expense is being presented in "rental income" on a prospective basis, compared to "property costs (including reimbursable)" for periods prior to January 1, 2019. Bad debt (recovery) expense was $(0.6) million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The adoption of the lease standard did not result in a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening equity.

• The Company elected to use the land easements expedient, which permits the Company to not reassess land easements for potential lease classification.

• The Company elected to use the components expedient, which permits the Company to not separate nonlease components from lease components if timing and pattern of transfer is the same. The Company elected this expedient for all lessee and lessor operating leases, where certain leases contain nonlease components related to tenant reimbursement, and concluded that the leasing component is the predominant component.

• The Company elected not to use the hindsight expedient, which would require the re-evaluation of the lease term on all leases using current facts and circumstances.

As a lessee, the Company recognized the right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities for our operating leases of $6.4 million and $8.6 million, respectively, on January 1, 2019, which are included in deferred costs and other assets, net and accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. As a lessor, our recognition of rental income remained materially consistent with previous guidance, apart from expanded disclosure requirements. As such, the Company concludes that the overall impact of the ASU had no material impact on the Company's reported revenues, results of operations or financial position.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires more timely recognition of credit losses associated with financial assets. ASU 2016-13 requires financial assets (or a group of financial assets) measured at an amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Per the subsequently issued ASU 2018-19, receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of ASU 2016-13. As such, the Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements, but does not expect its impact to be material.
