The Company's real estate portfolio was 91.6% occupied as of December 31, 2021, a 450 basis point increase from 87.1% at December 31, 2020.
The Company invested $6.1 million in capital expenditures into the properties during the year ended December 31, 2021.
Quarter-To-Date Leasing Activity
Executed 36 lease renewals totaling 199,093 square feet at a weighted-average increase of $0.67 per square foot, representing an increase of 6.13% over in-place rental rates.

The Company’s gross leasable area ("GLA"), which is subject to leases that expire over the next twelve months and includes month-to-month leases, decreased to approximately 6.16% at December 31, 2021, compared to 6.97% at December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2021, 51.18% of this expiring GLA is subject to renewal options (a lease expiration schedule can be found on page 19 and provides additional details on the Company's leases).
As of December 31, 2021, the Company signed leases representing $829 thousand of annualized base rent ("ABR"). Rent will commence on these leases over the next ten months.
OPERATIONS
Total revenue increased by 1.88% or $288 thousand primarily due to changes described below in the same store section, partially offset by the decrease from sold properties of $259 thousand.
Total operating expenses increased by 12.58% or $1.2 million primarily a result of an increase in corporate general and administrative ("CG&A") expense, impairment expense, higher property operating expenses, partially offset by a decrease in depreciation and amortization. The increase in CG&A expense is primarily due to $703 thousand increase in professional fees associated with property and corporate legal fees along with costs associated with a Special Meeting of Common Stockholders and $151 thousand increase in corporate administration primarily related to office rent expense for the Company's corporate headquarters that had a sale leaseback in December 2020.

Funds from operations ("FFO") of ($3.4) million, or ($0.34) per share of the Company's Common Stock and common unit ("Common Unit") in our operating partnership, Wheeler REIT, L.P., as compared to FFO of $2.6 million, or $0.26 per share.
Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO") of $0.19 per share of the Company's Common Stock and Common Unit in our operating partnership, Wheeler REIT, L.P., as compared to $0.24 per share.

Same store results were impacted by a 3.70% increase in revenue due to higher occupancy including three new anchor spaces. Additionally, same store property expenses increased by 7.67% primarily driven by increases in management fee allocation, grounds and landscaping and real estate taxes.

2021 YEAR-TO-DATE HIGHLIGHTS
LEASING
Year-To-Date Leasing Activity
Executed 138 lease renewals totaling 619,160 square feet at a weighted-average increase of $0.32 per square foot, representing an increase of 3.05% over in-place rental rates.
Signed 76 new leases totaling 436,170 square feet with a weighted-average rental rate of $8.30 per square foot, including 6 anchors representing 209,560 square feet.
OPERATIONS
Total revenue increased by 0.50% or $307 thousand.
Total operating expenses increased by 2.93% or $1.2 million primarily a result of increases in impairment on assets held for sale and CG&A expense, partially offset by a decrease in depreciation and amortization.
FINANCIAL
Net loss attributable to WHLR's Common Stock stockholders of $13.2 million, or ($1.36) per share.
FFO of ($2.5) million, or $(0.25) per share of the Company's Common Stock and Common Unit in our operating partnership, Wheeler REIT, L.P., as compared to FFO of $8.7 million, or $0.87 per share.

SAME STORE
Same store NOI remained relatively consistent and increased by 1.05% on a cash basis. Same store results were impacted by a 1.58% increase in revenue due to a decrease in provision for credit losses a result of the Company's proactive tenant outreach during the pandemic and collection initiatives returning collections to pre-pandemic levels and increase in rental revenue a result of increased occupancy. These positive impacts were partially offset by a decrease in above (below) market lease amortization related to leases becoming fully amortized. Additionally, same store property expenses increased by 5.18% primarily driven by increases in management fee allocation, grounds and landscaping, real estate taxes and utilities, partially offset by a decrease in insurance expense.
CAPITAL MARKETS

Definitions
Funds from Operations (FFO): an alternative measure of a REIT's operating performance, specifically as it relates to results of operations and liquidity. FFO is a measurement that is not in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Wheeler computes FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999 and December 2018). As defined by NAREIT, FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of loan origination costs), plus impairment of real estate related long-lived assets and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Most industry analysts and equity REITs, including Wheeler, consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance because, by excluding gains or losses on dispositions and excluding depreciation, FFO is a helpful tool that can assist in the comparison of the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods, or as compared to different companies. Management uses FFO as a supplemental measure to conduct and evaluate the business because there are certain limitations associated with using GAAP net income alone as the primary measure of our operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, while historically real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions.
Adjusted FFO (AFFO): Management believes that the computation of FFO in accordance with NAREIT’s definition includes certain items that are not indicative of the operating performance of the Company’s real estate assets. These items include, but are not limited to, non-recurring expenses, legal settlements, acquisition costs and capital raise costs. Management uses AFFO, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to exclude such items. Management believes that reporting AFFO in addition to FFO is a useful supplemental measure for the investment community to use when evaluating the operating performance of the Company on a comparative basis. The Company also presents Pro Forma AFFO which shows the impact of certain activities assuming they occurred at the beginning of the year.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA): another widely-recognized non-GAAP financial measure that the Company believes, when considered with financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, is useful to investors and lenders in understanding financial performance and providing a relevant basis for comparison among other companies, including REITs. While EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for net income attributable to the Company’s common stockholders, net operating income, cash flow from operating activities, or other income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company believes that EBITDA may provide additional information with respect to the Company’s performance or ability to meet its future debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. The Company computes EBITDA by excluding interest expense, net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests, depreciation and amortization and impairment of long-lived assets and notes receivable, from income from continuing operations. The Company also presents Adjusted EBITDA which excludes affecting the comparability of the periods presented, including but not limited to, costs associated with acquisitions and capital related activities.

Net Operating Income (NOI): The Company believes that NOI is a useful measure of the Company's property operating performance. The Company defines NOI as property revenues (rental and other revenues) less property and related expenses (property operation and maintenance and real estate taxes). Because NOI excludes general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes, gain or loss on sale or capital expenditures and leasing costs, it provides a performance measure, that when compared year over year, reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating commercial real estate properties and the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. The Company uses NOI to evaluate its operating performance since NOI allows the Company to evaluate the impact of factors, such as occupancy levels, lease structure, lease rates and tenant base, have on the Company's results, margins and returns. NOI should not be viewed as a measure of the Company's overall financial performance since it does not reflect general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, impairment of impairment of long-lived assets, involuntary conversion, interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes, gain or loss on sale or disposition of assets, and the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of the Company's properties. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, the Company's NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs.
