Prior to the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company operated through two business segments, the real estate investment segment and the investment management segment, Cole Capital.

• Achieved $0.74 AFFO per diluted share, including $0.70 from continuing operations

• Completed $745.6 million of acquisitions and $574.9 million of dispositions

• Decreased Debt from $6.4 billion to $6.1 billion; Net Debt remained at $6.1 billion, or 39.0% Net Debt to Gross Real Estate Investments

The summary below of financial results reflects continuing operations only.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2017 Financial Results

Revenue

Revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 decreased $10.7 million to $316.6 million as compared to revenue of $327.3 million for the same quarter in 2016, primarily due to 2016 and 2017 dispositions, net of acquisitions.

Revenue for 2017 decreased $0.1 billion to $1.25 billion as compared to revenue of $1.34 billion for 2016, mostly due to 2016 and 2017 dispositions, net of acquisitions.

Net Income (Loss) and Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Stockholders per Diluted Share

Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 decreased $13.2 million to a net loss of $(2.5) million as compared to net income of $10.7 million for the same quarter in 2016, and net loss per diluted share increased $0.01 to a net loss per diluted share of $(0.02) for the quarter ended December 31, 2017, as compared to net loss per diluted share of $(0.01) for the same quarter in 2016. The differences were primarily due to lower revenue and higher G&A, impairments and net litigation expenses partially offset by lower property operating, interest, and depreciation and amortization expenses along with a gain on the disposition of real estate in 2017 versus a loss during the same quarter in 2016.

1

Net income for 2017 increased $128.4 million to $51.5 million as compared to a net loss of $(76.9) million in 2016. Net loss per diluted share decreased $0.14 to $(0.02) for 2017, as compared to a net loss per diluted share of $(0.16) for 2016. The differences were primarily due to a larger gain on the disposition of real estate and extinguishment of debt along with the following lower expense items: depreciation and amortization, impairments and interest expense offset by lower revenue and higher net litigation expenses.

Normalized EBITDA

Normalized EBITDA for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 decreased $10.1 million to $258.6 million as compared to Normalized EBITDA of $268.7 million for the same quarter in 2016, primarily due to 2016 and 2017 dispositions, net of acquisitions and higher G&A offset by lower net property operating expenses.

Normalized EBITDA for 2017 decreased $0.1 billion to $1.0 billion as compared to $1.1 billion in 2016, primarily due to 2016 and 2017 dispositions, net of acquisitions and higher G&A offset by lower net property operating expenses.

Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Limited Partners (“FFO”) and FFO per Diluted Share

FFO for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 decreased $18.0 million to $164.5 million, as compared to $182.5 million for the same quarter in 2016, and FFO per diluted share decreased $0.01 to $0.17 for the quarter ended December 31, 2017, as compared to $0.18 for the same quarter in 2016.

Management Commentary

Glenn J. Rufrano, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We continue to execute on the targets and business objectives we have established for the Company. Over the past three years our portfolio has been built through diversification mandates, our investment-grade balance sheet remains strong and liquid with a well-staggered maturity schedule, and with the sale of Cole, our business simplified. Our management team has operating and capital allocation experience through various market cycles and we will continue to focus on our business model and objectives.”

Common Stock Dividend Information

On February 21, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.1375 per share for the first quarter of 2018, representing an annual distribution rate of $0.55 per share. The dividend will be paid on April 16, 2018 to common stockholders of record as of March 30, 2018.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

In August 2017, the Company issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.95% 10-year senior notes at an issue price of 99.33% of par value. Proceeds from this offering were used to repay its $500.0 million term loan with the balance utilized to pay down secured debt.

During the fourth quarter, the Company had net draws on its revolving line of credit of $185.0 million, leaving $2.1 billion of capacity available as of December 31, 2017 on the Company’s $2.3 billion revolving line of credit. In the fourth quarter, secured debt was reduced by $31.6 million, bringing the total reduction amount for the year to $579.9 million.

Consolidated Financial Statistics

Financial Statistics as of the quarter ended December 31, 2017 are as follows: Net Debt to Normalized EBITDA of 5.7x, Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 3.1x, Unencumbered Gross Real Estate Investments to Total Gross Real Estate Investments ratio of 72.8%, Net Debt to Gross Real Estate Investments of 39.0% and Weighted Average Debt Term of 4.3 years.

Real Estate Portfolio

As of December 31, 2017, the Company’s portfolio consisted of 4,091 properties with total portfolio occupancy of 98.8%, investment grade tenancy of 39.6% and a weighted-average remaining lease term of 9.5 years. During 2017, same-store rents (3,982 properties) were flat as compared to 2016. Excluding the effects of certain early office lease renewal efforts, same store rents would have been 0.3%.

Property Acquisitions

During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company acquired 23 properties for approximately $293.5 million at an average cash cap rate of 6.8%.

During 2017, the Company acquired 91 properties for approximately $745.6 million at an average cash cap rate of 6.9%, which includes the fee interest in three properties in which we held the leasehold interest.

Property Dispositions

During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, the Company disposed of 25 properties and a land parcel owned by an unconsolidated joint venture for an aggregate sales price of $85.6 million at an average cash cap rate of 7.6%, including $24.9 million in net sales of Red Lobster restaurants.

During 2017, the Company disposed of 137 properties and a land parcel owned by an unconsolidated joint venture for an aggregate sales price of $574.9 million at an average cash cap rate of 7.1%.

2018 Guidance

The Company expects its 2018 AFFO per diluted share to be in a range between $0.70 and $0.72. This guidance assumes dispositions totaling $300 million to $500 million at an average cash cap rate of 6.5% to 7.5% and acquisitions of $200 million to $300 million in excess of dispositions within the same cap rate range. Acquisitions will be funded through a combination of internal equity, debt capacity within our Net Debt to Normalized EBITDA target and proceeds from the sale of Cole Capital. Guidance also assumes real estate operations with average occupancy above 98.0% and same-store rental growth in a range of 0.3% to 1.0%. The Company also expects to target balance sheet Net Debt to Normalized EBITDA at approximately 6.0x.

Definitions

Descriptions of FFO and AFFO, EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA, Debt Outstanding and Adjusted Debt Outstanding, Net Debt, Interest Expense, Excluding Non-Cash Amortization, Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Net Debt to Normalized EBITDA Annualized Ratio, Net Debt Leverage Ratio, and Unencumbered Asset Ratio are provided below. Refer to pages 8 through 19 for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure and the calculations of these financial ratios.

Effective January 1, 2017, we determined that adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”), a non-GAAP measure, and our real estate portfolio and economic metrics should exclude the impact of properties owned by the Company for the month beginning with the date that (i) the related mortgage loan is in default, and (ii) management decides to transfer the properties to the lender in connection with settling the mortgage note obligation ("Excluded Properties") and ending with the disposition date, to better reflect our ongoing operations. At December 31, 2017, the Excluded Property was one vacant industrial property, comprising 307,275 square feet with Debt Outstanding of $16.2 million. The Company did not update data presented for prior periods as the impact on prior period non-GAAP measures, including AFFO and Normalized EBITDA, and operating metrics was immaterial.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”)

Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. ("NAREIT"), an industry trade group, has promulgated a supplemental performance measure known as funds from operations (“FFO”), which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. FFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under U.S. GAAP.

NAREIT defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding gains or losses from disposition of property, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and impairment write-downs on depreciable real estate including the pro rata share of adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We calculated FFO in accordance with NAREIT's definition described above.

In addition to FFO, we use adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) as a non-GAAP supplemental financial performance measure to evaluate the operating performance of the Company. AFFO, as defined by the Company, excludes from FFO non-routine items such as acquisition-related expenses, litigation, merger and other non-routine costs, net of insurance recoveries, held for sale loss on discontinued operations, gains or losses on sale of investment securities or mortgage notes receivable and legal settlements and insurance recoveries not in the ordinary course of business. We also exclude certain non-cash items such as impairments of goodwill and intangible assets, straight-line rent, net of bad debt expense related to straight-line rent, net direct financing lease adjustments, gains or losses on derivatives, reserves for loan loss, gains or losses on the extinguishment or forgiveness of debt, non-current portion of the tax benefit or expense, equity-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets, deferred financing costs, premiums and discounts on debt and investments, above-market lease assets and below-market lease liabilities. Effective January 1, 2017, we determined to omit the impact of the Excluded Properties and related non-recourse mortgage notes from FFO to calculate AFFO. We did not adjust AFFO during the years prior to January 1, 2017 as the impact was immaterial. Management believes that excluding these costs from FFO provides investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with the performance models and analysis used by management, and provides investors a view of the performance of our portfolio over time. AFFO allows for a comparison of the performance of our operations with other publicly-traded REITs, as AFFO, or an equivalent measure, is routinely reported by publicly-traded REITs, and we believe often used by analysts and investors for comparison purposes.

For all of these reasons, we believe FFO and AFFO, in addition to net income (loss), as defined by U.S. GAAP, are helpful supplemental performance measures and useful in understanding the various ways in which our management evaluates the performance of the Company over time. However, not all REITs calculate FFO and AFFO the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. FFO and AFFO should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) and are not intended to be used as a liquidity measure indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs. Neither the SEC, NAREIT, nor any other regulatory body has evaluated the acceptability of the exclusions used to adjust FFO in order to calculate AFFO and its use as a non-GAAP financial performance measure.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) and Normalized EBITDA

Normalized EBITDA, as disclosed, represents EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, modified to exclude non-routine items such as acquisition-related expenses, litigation, merger and other non-routine transactions costs, net of insurance recoveries, gains or losses on disposition of real estate, held for sale loss on discontinued operations, gains or losses on sale of investment securities or mortgage notes receivable and legal settlements and insurance recoveries not in the ordinary course of business. We also exclude certain non-cash items such as impairments of goodwill and real estate and intangible assets, straight-line rental revenue, gains or losses on derivatives, gains or losses on the extinguishment or forgiveness of debt, write-off of program development costs, and amortization of intangibles, above-market lease assets and below-market lease liabilities. Beginning in 2017, Normalized EBITDA omits the Normalized EBITDA impact of Excluded Properties. Management believes that excluding these costs from EBITDA provides investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with the performance models and analysis used by management, and provides investors a view of the performance of our portfolio over time. Therefore, Normalized EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as computed in accordance with GAAP, or as an indicator of the Company's financial performance. The Company uses Normalized EBITDA as one measure of its operating performance when formulating corporate goals and evaluating the effectiveness of the Company's strategies. Normalized EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Debt Outstanding and Adjusted Debt Outstanding

Debt Outstanding and Adjusted Debt Outstanding are non-GAAP measures that represent the Company's outstanding principal debt balance, excluding certain GAAP adjustments, such as premiums and discounts, financing and issuance costs, and related accumulated amortization. Beginning in 2017, Adjusted Debt Outstanding omits the outstanding principal balance of mortgage notes secured by Excluded Properties. We believe that the presentation of Debt Outstanding and Adjusted Debt Outstanding, which show our contractual debt obligations, provides useful information to investors to assess our overall liquidity, financial flexibility, capital structure and leverage. Debt Outstanding and Adjusted Debt Outstanding should not be considered as alternatives to the Company's consolidated debt balance as determined in accordance with GAAP or any other GAAP financial measures and should only be considered together with, and as a supplement to, the Company's financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Net Debt

Net Debt is a non-GAAP measure used to show the Company's Adjusted Debt Outstanding, less all cash and cash equivalents, including those related to discontinued operations. We believe that the presentation of Net Debt provides useful information to investors because our management reviews Net Debt as part of its management of our overall liquidity, financial flexibility, capital structure and leverage.

Interest Expense, Excluding Non-Cash Amortization

Interest Expense, excluding non-cash amortization is a non-GAAP measure that represents interest expense incurred on the outstanding principal balance of our debt. This measure excludes (i) the amortization of deferred financing costs, premiums and discounts, which is included in interest expense in accordance with GAAP, and (ii)the impact of Excluded Properties and related non-recourse mortgage notes. We believe that the presentation of Interest Expense, excluding non-cash amortization, which shows the interest expense on our contractual debt obligations, provides useful information to investors to assess our overall solvency and financial flexibility. Interest Expense, excluding non-cash amortization should not be considered as an alternative to the Company's interest expense as determined in accordance with GAAP or any other GAAP financial measures and should only be considered together with and as a supplement to the Company's financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio

Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is the sum of (i) Interest Expense, excluding non-cash amortization, (ii) secured debt principal amortization on Adjusted Debt Outstanding and (iii) dividends attributable to preferred shares divided by Normalized EBITDA. Management believes that Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is a useful supplemental measure of our ability to satisfy fixed financing obligations.

Net Debt to Normalized EBITDA Annualized Ratio

Net Debt to Normalized EBITDA Annualized equals Net Debt divided by the current quarter Normalized EBITDA multiplied by four. We believe that the presentation of Net Debt to Normalized EBITDA Annualized provides useful information to investors because our management reviews Net Debt to Normalized EBITDA Annualized as part of its management of our overall liquidity, financial flexibility, capital structure and leverage.

6

Net Debt Leverage Ratio

Net Debt Leverage Ratio equals Net Debt divided by Gross Real Estate Investments. We believe that the presentation of Net Debt Leverage Ratio provides useful information to investors because our management reviews Net Debt Leverage Ratio as part of its management of our overall liquidity, financial flexibility, capital structure and leverage.

Gross Real Estate Investments

Gross Real Estate Investments represent total gross real estate and related assets of Operating Properties, including net investments in unconsolidated entities, investment in direct financing leases, investment securities backed by real estate and loans held for investment, net of gross intangible lease liabilities.

Unencumbered Asset Ratio

Unencumbered Asset Ratio equals unencumbered Gross Real Estate Investments divided by Gross Real Estate Investments. Management believes that Unencumbered Asset Ratio is a useful supplemental measure of our overall liquidity and leverage.

CONSOLIDATED ADJUSTED FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS PER DILUTED SHARE - 2018 GUIDANCE

(Unaudited)

The Company expects its 2018 AFFO per diluted share to be in a range between $0.70 and $0.72. This guidance assumes dispositions totaling $300 million to $500 million at an average cash cap rate of 6.5% to 7.5% and acquisitions of $200 million to $300 million in excess of dispositions within the same cap rate range. Acquisitions will be funded through a combination of internal equity, debt capacity within our Net Debt to Normalized EBITDA target, and proceeds from the sale of Cole Capital. Guidance also assumes real estate operations with average occupancy above 98.0% and same-store rental growth in a range of 0.3% to 1.0%. The Company also expects to target balance sheet Net Debt to Normalized EBITDA at approximately 6.0x. The estimated net income per diluted share is not a projection and is provided solely to satisfy the disclosure requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

	Q4 2017 SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

About the Data

This data and other information described herein are as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2017, unless otherwise indicated. Future performance may not be consistent with past performance and is subject to change and inherent risks and uncertainties. This information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations sections contained in VEREIT, Inc.'s (the "Company," "VEREIT," "us," "our" and "we") Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended September 30, 2017, June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017.

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company determined certain non-GAAP measures and operating metrics, which include portfolio metrics, should exclude the impact of properties owned by the Company for the month beginning with the date that (i) the properties' related mortgage loan is in default and (ii) management decides to transfer the properties to the lender in connection with settling the mortgage note obligation, and ending with the disposition date, to better reflect the ongoing operations of the Company. The Company did not update data presented for periods prior to March 31, 2017, and the three months then ended, as the impact on non-GAAP measures, including AFFO and Normalized EBITDA, and operating metrics was immaterial. See the definitions section for a description of the Excluded Properties.

Prior to the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company operated through two business segments, the real estate investment segment and the investment management segment, Cole Capital.

(1) The Company's ownership interest reflects its legal ownership interest. Legal ownership may, at times, not equal the Company's economic interest in the listed properties because of various provisions in certain joint venture agreements regarding distributions of cash flow based on capital account balances, allocations of profits and losses and payments of preferred returns. As a result, the Company's actual economic interest (as distinct from its legal ownership interest) in certain of the properties could fluctuate from time to time and may not wholly align with its legal ownership interests.

(2) Represents information for the total unconsolidated joint venture.

(3) Represents a secured loan with a fixed interest rate of 5.20% and a maturity date of July 2021.

(4) Represents the Company's pro rata share of initial purchase price. During the three months ended December 31, 2017, the joint venture sold an outparcel at the property. The Company's pro rata share of the gross sales price of $2.5 million was $2.2 million.

Definitions

Annualized Rental Income is rental revenue under our leases on Operating Properties on a straight-line basis, which includes the effect of rent escalations and any tenant concessions, such as free rent, and excludes any bad debt allowances and any contingent rent, such as percentage rent. Management uses Annualized Rental Income as a basis for tenant, industry and geographic concentrations and other metrics within the portfolio. Annualized Rental Income is not indicative of future performance.

Cash Cap Rate equals the estimated future 12-month Cash NOI, excluding any rent concessions or abatements, at acquisition or disposition divided by the purchase or sale price. For properties acquired or disposed of as a portfolio, the amount presented represents the portfolio cash cap rate. For development projects, Cash Cap Rate equals the estimated future 12-month NOI from the date rent commences divided by the total estimated investment. For certain properties, the Cash Cap Rate is equal to future 12-month Contract Rental Revenue, excluding any rent concessions or abatements, divided by the purchase price or sale price, as the majority of the Company's properties are subject to Triple Net Leases.

Contract Rental Revenue includes minimum rent, percentage rent and other contingent consideration, and rental revenue from parking and storage space and excludes GAAP adjustments, such as straight-line rent and amortization of above-market lease assets and below-market lease liabilities. Contract Rental Revenue includes such revenues from properties subject to a direct financing lease, and beginning in 2017, omits the Contract Rental Revenue related to Excluded Properties. The Company believes that Contract Rental Revenue is a useful non-GAAP supplemental measure to investors and analysts for assessing performance. Therefore, Contract Rental Revenue should not be considered as an alternative to revenue, as computed in accordance with GAAP, or as an indicator of the Company's financial performance. Contract Rental Revenue may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following table shows the calculation of Contract Rental Revenue for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 (dollar amounts in thousands):

	Year Ended December 31,						Three Months Ended December 31,

CPI is a lease in which base rent is adjusted based on changes in a consumer price index.

Debt Outstanding and Adjusted Debt Outstanding are non-GAAP measures that represent the Company's outstanding principal debt balance, excluding certain GAAP adjustments, such as premiums and discounts, financing and issuance costs, and related accumulated amortization. Beginning in 2017, Adjusted Debt Outstanding omits the outstanding principal balance of mortgage notes secured by Excluded Properties. We believe that the presentation of Debt Outstanding and Adjusted Debt Outstanding, which show our contractual debt obligations, provides useful information to investors to assess our overall liquidity, financial flexibility, capital structure and leverage. Debt Outstanding and Adjusted Debt Outstanding should not be considered as alternatives to the Company's consolidated debt balance as determined in accordance with GAAP or any other GAAP financial measures and should only be considered together with, and as a supplement to, the Company's financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The following table shows a reconciliation of Debt Outstanding and Adjusted Debt Outstanding to the amounts presented in accordance with GAAP on the balance sheet for the periods presented (dollar amounts in thousands):

Direct Financing Lease is a lease that requires specific treatment due to the significance of the lease payments from the inception of the lease compared to the fair value of the property, term of the lease, a transfer of ownership, or a bargain purchase option. These leases are recorded as a net asset on the balance sheet. The amount booked is calculated as the fair value of the remaining lease payments on the leases and the estimated fair value of any expected residual property value at the end of the lease term.

Double Net Lease ("NN") is a lease under which the tenant agrees to pay all operating expenses associated with the property (e.g., real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance), but excludes some or all major repairs (e.g. roof, structure, parking lot).

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") and Normalized EBITDA

Normalized EBITDA, as disclosed, represents EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, modified to exclude non-routine items such as acquisition-related expenses, litigation, merger and other non-routine transactions costs, net of insurance recoveries, gains or losses on disposition of real estate, held for sale loss on discontinued operations, gains or losses on sale of investment securities or mortgage notes receivable and legal settlements and insurance recoveries not in the ordinary course of business. We also exclude certain non-cash items such as impairments of goodwill and real estate and intangible assets, straight-line rental revenue, gains or losses on derivatives, gains or losses on the extinguishment or forgiveness of debt, write-off of program development costs, and amortization of intangibles, above-market lease assets and below-market lease liabilities. Beginning in 2017, Normalized EBITDA omits the Normalized EBITDA impact of Excluded Properties. Management believes that excluding these costs from EBITDA provides investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with the performance models and analysis used by management, and provides investors a view of the performance of our portfolio over time. Therefore, Normalized EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as computed in accordance with GAAP, or as an indicator of the Company's financial performance. The Company uses Normalized EBITDA as one measure of its operating performance when formulating corporate goals and evaluating the effectiveness of the Company's strategies. Normalized EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Economic Occupancy Rate equals the sum of square feet leased (including month-to-month agreements) divided by Rentable Square Feet.

Enterprise Value equals the sum of the Implied Equity Market Capitalization, preferred stock and Net Debt.

Excluded Properties are properties for which (i) the related mortgage loan is in default, and (ii) management decides to transfer the properties to the lender in connection with settling the mortgage note obligation.

Excluded Properties during the three months ended and at March 31, 2017, were one vacant office property and one vacant industrial property, comprising an aggregate of 578,000 square feet with aggregate Debt Outstanding of $41.8 million. Excluded Properties during the three months ended June 30, 2017, were two vacant office properties and five industrial properties, two of which were vacant. Excluded Properties at June 30, 2017, and during the three months ended September 30, 2017, were two vacant office properties and one vacant industrial property, comprising an aggregate 991,000 square feet with aggregate Debt Outstanding of $83.9 million. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2017, the Excluded Property was one vacant industrial property, comprising 307,275 square feet with Debt Outstanding of $16.2 million.

Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is the sum of (i) Interest Expense, excluding non-cash amortization, (ii) secured debt principal amortization on Adjusted Debt Outstanding and (iii) dividends attributable to preferred shares divided by Normalized EBITDA. Management believes that Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is a useful supplemental measure of our ability to satisfy fixed financing obligations.

Definitions (cont.)

Flat Lease is a lease that requires equal rent payments, with no increases, throughout the initial term of the lease agreement. A Flat Lease may include a period of free rent at the beginning or end of the lease.

Funds from Operations ("FFO") and Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO")

Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. ("NAREIT"), an industry trade group, has promulgated a supplemental performance measure known as FFO, which we believe to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. FFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP.

NAREIT defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from disposition of property, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and impairment write-downs on depreciable real estate including the pro rata share of adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We calculated FFO in accordance with NAREIT's definition described above.

In addition to FFO, we use AFFO as a non-GAAP supplemental financial performance measure to evaluate the operating performance of the Company. AFFO, as defined by the Company, excludes from FFO non-routine items such as acquisition-related expenses, litigation, merger and other non-routine costs, net of insurance recoveries, held for sale loss on discontinued operations, gains or losses on sale of investment securities or mortgage notes receivable and legal settlements and insurance recoveries not in the ordinary course of business. We also exclude certain non-cash items such as impairments of goodwill and intangible assets, straight-line rent, net of bad debt expense related to straight line rent, net direct financing lease adjustments, gains or losses on derivatives, reserves for loan loss, gains or losses on the extinguishment or forgiveness of debt, non-current portion of the tax benefit or expense, equity-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets, deferred financing costs, premiums and discounts on debt and investments, above-market lease assets and below-market lease liabilities. Effective January 1, 2017, we determined to omit the impact of the Excluded Properties and related non-recourse mortgage notes from FFO to calculate AFFO. We did not adjust AFFO during the years prior to January 1, 2017 as the impact was immaterial. Management believes that excluding these costs from FFO provides investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with the performance models and analysis used by management, and provides investors a view of the performance of our portfolio over time. AFFO allows for a comparison of the performance of our operations with other publicly-traded REITs, as AFFO, or an equivalent measure, is routinely reported by publicly-traded REITs, and we believe often used by analysts and investors for comparison purposes.

For all of these reasons, we believe FFO and AFFO, in addition to net income (loss), as defined by GAAP, are helpful supplemental performance measures and useful in understanding the various ways in which our management evaluates the performance of the Company over time. However, not all REITs calculate FFO and AFFO the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. FFO and AFFO should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) and are not intended to be used as a liquidity measure indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs. Neither the SEC, NAREIT, nor any other regulatory body has evaluated the acceptability of the exclusions used to adjust FFO in order to calculate AFFO and its use as a non-GAAP financial performance measure.

GAAP is an abbreviation for generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Gross Leaseis a lease under which the landlord is responsible for all expenses associated with the property (e.g., real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance and repairs).

Gross Real Estate Investments represent total gross real estate and related assets of Operating Properties, including net investments in unconsolidated entities, investment in direct financing leases, investment securities backed by real estate and loans held for investment, net of gross intangible lease liabilities.

Implied Equity Market Capitalization equals shares of common stock outstanding, including restricted stock awards, multiplied by the closing sale price of the Company's stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange.

Industry is derived from the North American Industry Classification System, NAICS, which is a system used by Federal statistical agencies to classify business establishments, for the purpose of collecting, analyzing, and publishing statistical data related to the U.S. business economy.

Interest Coverage Ratio equals Normalized EBITDA divided by Interest Expense, excluding non-cash amortization. Management believes that Interest Coverage Ratio is a useful supplemental measure of our ability to service our debt obligations.

Interest Expense, excluding non-cash amortization is a non-GAAP measure that represents interest expense incurred on the outstanding principal balance of our debt. This measure excludes (i) the amortization of deferred financing costs, premiums and discounts, which is included in interest expense in accordance with GAAP, and (ii)the impact of Excluded Properties and related non-recourse mortgage notes. We believe that the presentation of Interest Expense, excluding non-cash amortization, which shows the interest expense on our contractual debt obligations, provides useful information to investors to assess our overall solvency and financial flexibility. Interest Expense, excluding non-cash amortization should not be considered as an alternative to the Company's interest expense as determined in accordance with GAAP or any other GAAP financial measures and should only be considered together with and as a supplement to the Company's financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Investment-Grade Tenants are those with a Standard & Poor’s credit rating of BBB- or higher or a Moody’s credit rating of Baa3 or higher.  The ratings may reflect those assigned by Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s to the lease guarantor or the parent company, as applicable.

Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) is a large metropolitan area represented by a large group of zip codes, as defined by Real Capital Analytics.

Modified Gross Lease is a lease under which the landlord is responsible for most expenses associated with the property (e.g., real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance and repairs), but passes through some operating expenses to the tenant.

Net Debt is a non-GAAP measure used to show the Company's Adjusted Debt Outstanding, less all cash and cash equivalents, including those related to discontinued operations. We believe that the presentation of Net Debt provides useful information to investors because our management reviews Net Debt as part of its management of our overall liquidity, financial flexibility, capital structure and leverage.

Net Debt Leverage Ratio equals Net Debt divided by Gross Real Estate Investments. We believe that the presentation of Net Debt Leverage Ratio provides useful information to investors because our management reviews Net Debt Leverage Ratio as part of its management of our overall liquidity, financial flexibility, capital structure and leverage.

Net Debt to Normalized EBITDA Annualized equals Net Debt divided by the current quarter Normalized EBITDA multiplied by four. We believe that the presentation of Net Debt to Normalized EBITDA Annualized provides useful information to investors because our management reviews Net Debt to Normalized EBITDA Annualized as part of its management of our overall liquidity, financial flexibility, capital structure and leverage.

Net Operating Income ("NOI") and Cash NOI

NOI is a non-GAAP performance measure used to evaluate the operating performance of a real estate company. NOI represents rental and other property income and tenant reimbursement income less property operating expenses. NOI excludes depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, acquisition-related expenses and litigation and other non-routine costs. Cash NOI excludes the impact of certain GAAP adjustments to rental revenue, such as straight-line rent adjustments and amortization of above-market intangible lease assets and below-market lease intangible liabilities. Beginning in 2017, Cash NOI omits the Cash NOI impact of Excluded Properties. It is management's view that NOI and Cash NOI provide investors relevant and useful information because it reflects only income and operating expense items that are incurred at the property level and presents them on an unleveraged basis. NOI and Cash NOI should not be considered as an alternative to operating income. Further, NOI and Cash NOI may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Normalized Cash NOI equals our Cash NOI for our most recently reported quarter and eliminates the Cash NOI for properties acquired or developments completed during the most recently reported quarter and replaces Cash NOI for the partial period with an amount estimated to be equivalent to Cash NOI for the full period. Additionally, Normalized Cash NOI eliminates the Cash NOI contributed by properties disposed of during the most recently reported period. It is management's view that Normalized Cash NOI provides investors relevant and useful information because it reflects only the Cash NOI of properties owned as of the most recent reporting period. Normalized Cash NOI should not be considered as an alternative to operating income.

Normalized EBITDAAnnualized equals Normalized EBITDA, for the respective quarter, multiplied by four.
