CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this Current Report on Form 10-Q other than historical facts may be considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and, as such, may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of ExchangeRight Income Fund (the “Company”) d/b/a the ExchangeRight Essential Income REIT (the "Company") to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. For these statements, the Company claims the protections of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe the Company’s future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “may”, “will”, “should”, “estimates”, “projects”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “expects”, “intends”, “future”, and words of similar import, or the negative thereof. Forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 10-Q include information about possible or assumed future events, including, among other things, discussion and analysis of our future financial condition, results of operations, our strategic plans and objectives, occupancy, leasing rates and trends, liquidity and ability to meet future obligations, anticipated expenditures of capital and other matters. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date this Form 10-Q is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Any such forward-looking statements are subject to unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which in some cases are beyond our control, and are based on a number of assumptions involving judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive, and market conditions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately. To the extent that our assumptions differ from actual results, our ability to meet such forward-looking statements, including our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations, provide distributions to shareholders, and maintain the value of our real estate properties, may be significantly hindered.
Factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to:
The foregoing list is only a summary of the principal risks that may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The foregoing should be read in conjunction with the complete discussion of risk factors we face, which are set forth in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 11, 2024.

Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, its subsidiaries and any single member limited liability companies or other entities which are consolidated in accordance with GAAP. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
The Company consolidates variable interest entities (“VIEs”) when it is the primary beneficiary. Generally, a VIE is an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (1) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (2) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk (a) lack the power through voting or similar rights to make decisions about the entity’s activities that significantly impact the entity’s performance, (b) have no obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (c) have no right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests, and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately fewer voting rights.
A VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE has (1) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current values, performance of real estate held by these VIEs, and general market conditions.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the useful lives of real estate assets, real estate impairment assessments and allocation of fair value of purchase consideration. These estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions which management believes are reasonable. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis and makes revisions to these estimates and related disclosures as experience develops or new information becomes known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks and short-term investments with original maturities when purchased of less than ninety days. The Company did

Revenues
Substantially all of the Company’s tenants are subject to net-lease agreements where the tenant is generally responsible for minimum monthly rent and actual property operating expenses incurred, including property taxes, insurance and maintenance. In addition, certain of the Company’s tenants are subject to future rent increases based on fixed amounts or, in limited cases, increases in the consumer price index. In addition, certain leases provide for additional rent calculated as a percentage of the tenants’ gross sales above a specified level. The Company recorded no percentage rent revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Certain of the Company’s properties are subject to leases under which it retains responsibility for specific costs and expenses of the property. The Company’s leases typically provide the tenant one or more multi-year renewal options to extend their leases, subject to generally the same terms and conditions, including rent increases.
All lease-related income is reported as a single line item, rental revenue, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Note 6. Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, certain other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their fair value due to their terms and/or short-term nature.
The fair value of the Company’s fixed-rate mortgage loans payable and revolving credit facilities, which were determined to be Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy, were estimated using available market information and discounted cash flow analyses based on borrowing rates the Company believes it could obtain with similar terms and maturities. As of March 31, 2024, the aggregate fair value of the Company’s fixed-rate mortgage loans payable were $
Under GAAP, transactions involving related and affiliated parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's length-basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Therefore, in the opinion of management, the fair value of the RSLCA notes receivable from affiliated party and notes receivable from affiliates cannot be readily estimated, as the transactions are with related and affiliated parties. Other information about related and affiliated party transactions are provided, where applicable, elsewhere in these notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Derivative Financial Instrument
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Charges and/or credits relating to the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are made to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), noncontrolling interests or operations (included in interest expense), as applicable. Over time, the unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified into earnings as an increase or reduction to interest expense in the same periods in which the hedged interest payments affect earnings. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $

The valuation of the liability for the Company’s interest rate swap, which is measured on a recurring basis, was determined to be Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy and was based on independent values provided by a financial instrument valuation specialist. Such valuation was determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analyses on the expected cash flows of the derivative. The analysis reflects the contractual term of the swap, including the period to maturity, and user-observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves (“significant other observable inputs”). The fair value calculation also includes an amount for risk of non-performance using “significant unobservable inputs” such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default. The Company has concluded that, as of March 31, 2024, the fair value associated with the “significant unobservable inputs” relating to the Company’s risk of non-performance was insignificant to the overall fair value of the interest rate swap agreement and, as a result, the relevant inputs for purposes of calculating the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements, in their entirety, were based upon “significant other observable inputs”.
Note 7. Debt
Mortgage Loans Payable
Mortgage loans payable are secured by the properties on which the debt was placed and were considered nonrecourse debt with limited customary exceptions at the time of loan origination. The Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants related to its mortgage loans payable as of March 31, 2024.

by such parties in connection with any contamination. Generally, the Company’s tenants must comply with environmental laws and meet any remediation requirements. In addition, leases typically impose obligations on tenants to indemnify the Company from any compliance costs the Company may incur as a result of environmental conditions on the property caused by the tenant. However, if a lease does not require compliance, or if a tenant fails to or cannot comply, the Company could be forced to pay these costs. Management is unaware of any environmental matters that would have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Distributions
The amount of distributions payable to the Company’s shareholders is determined by the Trustee and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for distribution, the Company’s financial condition, capital expenditure requirements, requirements of Maryland law and annual distribution requirements needed to qualify and maintain the Company’s status as a REIT. The Trustee has authorized, and the Company has declared, distributions through March 31, 2024. The distributions are payable on or around the 15th day following each month end to shareholders of record at the close of business on the last day of the prior month.

You should read “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Form 10-K that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 11, 2024 and the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” section of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Company Overview
ExchangeRight Income Fund, doing business as ExchangeRight Essential Income REIT, a Maryland statutory trust, is a self-administered real estate company, formed on January 11, 2019, focusing on investing in single-tenant, primarily investment-grade net-leased real estate. The Company, through the Operating Partnership, owned 352 properties in 34 states as of March 31, 2024. These properties were 98.6% leased as of March 31, 2024 and are occupied by 36 different primarily national investment-grade necessity-based retail tenants and are additionally diversified by industry, geographic region and lease term.
The Company has elected and is qualified to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2019. The Company is the sole general partner and a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership formed on January 9, 2019. Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through the Operating Partnership. The Trust Properties are owned and controlled by the Company and are managed by the Property Manager and the Asset Manager, which are both wholly-owned subsidiaries of ExchangeRight, pursuant to executed management agreements with each respective entity.
Recent Developments
During the first quarter of 2024, global markets continued to experience volatility, driven by concerns over geopolitical conflicts in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, persistent inflation, elevated interest rate levels, and uneven economic growth. Inflation persisted at elevated levels compared to historical norms in many major economies around the world, prompting uncertainty over whether and to what extent central banks will ease monetary policy over the next several quarters of 2024, if at all.
Substantially all of the Company’s tenant leases contain provisions designed to partially mitigate the negative impact of inflation in the near term. Such lease provisions include clauses that require tenants to reimburse the Company for inflation-sensitive costs such as real estate taxes or insurance and many of the operating expenses it incurs. The Company has not been materially impacted in the current period by elevated interest rate levels as all of its mortgage debt is currently effectively fixed-rate financing as of March 31, 2024. Further inflation rate increases or elevated interest rates over a prolonged period of time may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business. It remains difficult to predict the full impact of recent events and any future changes in interest rates or inflation.
Highlights for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
Operating Results
The March 2024 distribution marked the 60th consecutive month of providing stable distributions to our investors. We have increased the distribution we pay five times since our inception. The Company declared distributions totaling $10.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s cumulative inception-to-date cash flows from operating activities has funded 100% of our cumulative inception-to-date distributions. The Company’s current distributions represent a 6.41% annualized return, based on the $0.1449 per share distribution rate and $27.14 NAV per share as of March 31, 2024, respectively. The following table details the annualized distribution rate based on the $0.1449 per share distribution rate in effect as of March 31, 2024 and current offering price of the Company’s common shares:

(1) The annualized distribution rate is calculated by the March 31, 2024 distribution rate in effect of $0.1449 per share divided by the offering price per share in connection with the Company’s March 31, 2024 NAV declaration. The Company believes the annualized distribution rate is a useful measure of our overall investment performance.
(2) Total return is calculated as the change in NAV per share at the end of the respective period versus the respective share class offering price per share at the beginning of the respective period plus any distributions per share declared during the period. The Company believes total return is a useful measure of the overall investment performance of our shares.
The Company remained 100% collected on its rents across all of its tenants in the portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and through the inception of the Company to date.
Leasing
The Company executed two lease renewals during the three months ended March 31, 2024 with average lease extensions of 60 months and average new rents over rents prior to the renewal of 10.0% for the period. The Company’s portfolio is 98.6% leased and its weighted average lease term as of March 31, 2024 is 6.4 years.
Capital
The Company has experienced minimal immediate term impact from the current elevated interest rate environment as substantially all of its outstanding debt is effectively fixed as of March 31, 2024. The Company has experienced regular net inflows of shareholder capital. All redemption requests, representing approximately 3.8% of inception-to-date total equity raised through March 31, 2024, have been fully satisfied.

Rental revenues consist of base rents, tenant reimbursables, straight-line rent adjustments, above and below market lease amortization, net and lease termination income. Rental revenues increased $0.9 million, or 4.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to the acquisition of 15 properties on August 31, 2023. The rental revenues associated with these properties were $1.3 million and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This increase was offset by a decrease in lease termination income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Interest income on notes receivable from affiliates includes interest earned from (1) outstanding advances under the RSLCA which bears interest at a rate equal to 12.0% per annum, (2) a $3.6 million real estate note receivable from an affiliated party and (3) a $2.4 million note receivable from an affiliated party. Interest income from the RSLCA was $0.2 million lower during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as a result of an approximate $8.2 million decrease in the average daily outstanding balance of the RSLCA during the three months ended March 31, 2024 versus the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Property operating expenses remained consistent during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The small increase in property operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily due to the expenses associated with the properties acquired on August 31, 2023, offset by decreases in general repairs and maintenance and snow removal costs.
Management fees to affiliates decreased $297,000, or 47.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Asset management fees decreased $307,000 and property management fees increased $11,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, respectively. Asset management fees for the three months ended March 31, 2024 consisted of $0.5 million of earned fees per the management agreement, net of $0.3 million of fees waived by the asset manager.
General and administrative expenses decreased $0.1 million, or 21.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a decrease in audit, tax and legal fees. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company incurred additional audit and legal fees in connection with its Form 10 registration statement.
Depreciation and amortization increased $0.2 million, or 2.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase is mainly attributable to the acquisition of 15 properties on August 31, 2023. The depreciation and amortization associated with these properties totaled $0.7 million and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This increase was offset by a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense as a result of certain intangible assets being fully depreciated.
24
Provision for impairment during the three months ended March 31, 2024 related to the impairment of one property. The estimation and evaluation of this impairment charge relies on judgments and assumptions made by management in determining the impairment charge to record. It is possible that such judgments and/or estimates will change; if this occurs, we may recognize additional impairment charges for this property or other properties owned by the Company.
Interest expense increased during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 as a result of (1) the assumption of a $43.5 million mortgage loan payable from the acquisition of 15 properties via merger agreements with one former 1031-exchangeable portfolios on August 31, 2023, (2) an increase in interest expense of $0.3 million as the Company borrowed $15.0 million on its unsecured revolving line of credit and (3) an increase of $0.2 million in amortization of below market debt associated with the assumption of mortgage loans payable.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has historically funded, and expects to continue to fund, short-term liquidity requirements, including debt service and distributions to our shareholders and distributions to holders of noncontrolling interests, from its operations. The Company funds acquisitions and certain capital expenditures primarily from the sale of shares of its Class A and Class I Common Shares, the issuance of additional OP Units, and through the assumption or incurrence of debt. The Company believes that its current liquidity position is sufficient to meet its expected acquisition activity. We expect to fund our current liquidity requirements from a combination of cash on hand, cash flow generated from operations, secured financings or an unsecured line of credit.
The Company received payment of 100% of contractual base rents during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company’s strategy targets properties with net leases to insulate our shareholders from rising costs and surprise repair costs that affect other types of real estate investments. Longer lease terms primarily with investment-grade national tenants successfully operating in historically recession-resilient sectors are also intended to provide stable income that can help bridge economic cycles.
The Company has invested in the ExchangeRight Mezz Loans for the DST programs under the RSLCA. The loan agreement, as amended, matures on April 4, 2027 and bears interest at a rate equal to 12.0% per annum, while outstanding. ExchangeRight structured the RSLCA, including the 12% interest rate, as a way to provide an enhanced risk-adjusted return to the Company. The current capacity under the RSLCA is a maximum of $250.0 million outstanding at any time. ExchangeRight had net borrowings of $6.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 increasing the balance of the RSLCA notes receivable to $29.0 million at March 31, 2024.
The Company’s notes receivable under the RSLCA are secured by interests in an entity that indirectly owns net-leased necessity-based retail properties similar to the Company’s acquired properties, as well as a pledge agreement and subordination agreement provided by ExchangeRight. As a result, the risk profile of an investment in this program is intended to be similar to ownership of the Company’s acquired properties while providing liquidity and an enhanced risk-adjusted return over investments with similar liquidity.
In order to continue qualifying as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its “REIT taxable income”, as defined in the Code. The Company paid monthly distributions relating to its common shares during the three months ended March 31, 2024. While the Company intends to continue paying regular monthly distributions, future distribution declarations will continue to be at the discretion of the Trustee, and will depend on the cash flow and financial condition of the Company, capital requirements, annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code and such other factors as the Trustee may deem relevant.
In January 2021, the Company entered into an unsecured revolving line of credit. The unsecured revolving line of credit agreement, as amended in December 2023, has a maturity date of January 15, 2025, and now bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate currently in effect with an interest rate floor of 6.00%, while outstanding (8.50% as of March 31, 2024). The unsecured revolving line of credit requires monthly interest only payments, while outstanding. On January 16, 2024, the Company borrowed $15.0 million on its unsecured revolving line of credit, which remained outstanding as of March 31, 2024.
On May 19, 2021, ExchangeRight entered into a secured revolving line of credit in which the Company has access to utilize available capacity under this secured revolving line of credit. The Company is legally responsible for the specific borrowings related to the Company, whereas ExchangeRight is the guarantor on all outstanding borrowings in relation to this secured revolving line of credit. The secured revolving line of credit agreement, as amended in December 2023, now has a maturity date of December 22, 2026, with a maximum aggregate amount being borrowed by the Company and ExchangeRight
25
totaling $80.0 million outstanding at any time and requires monthly payments. As of March 31, 2024, ExchangeRight borrowed $27.0 million under this secured revolving line of credit resulting in $53.0 million available for borrowing by the Company and ExchangeRight as of March 31, 2024. The Company had no outstanding borrowings under this revolving line of credit as of March 31, 2024.
Repayment terms for each borrowing note within the secured line of credit were as follows:

The mortgage loans payable mature at various dates from June 2024 through January 2031. The Company intends to repay the mortgage debt maturing in 2024 with either available cash, proceeds from repayments under the RSLCA, secured debt financing, unsecured debt financing, or a combination of these options. Mortgage loans payable may require the Company to deposit certain replacement and other reserves with its lenders. Such “restricted cash” is generally available only for property-level requirements for which the reserves have been established and is not available to fund other property-level or Company-level obligations. The Company had $11.3 million in restricted cash as of March 31, 2024.
Cash Flows
The sources and uses of cash reflected in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 are summarized below:

Operating Activities
Net cash from operating activities was $9.8 million and $9.8 million for the months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Cash flows from operations remained consistent during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due the results for the 15 properties acquired on August 31, 2023, which was offset by an increase in cash paid for interest of $0.4 million and a decrease in interest income of $0.2 million from the RSLCA and notes receivable from affiliated parties.
Investing Activities
Net cash flows used in investing activities were primarily the result of the net advances/repayments on the RLSCA, a property acquisition, and leasehold improvements. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company had $6.7 million in net advances under the RSLCA and incurred expenditures of $0.4 million for improvements of real estate. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company acquired a property for a total cash outlay of $2.3 million, had $10.7 million in net advances under the RSLCA and incurred expenditures of $0.2 million for improvements of real estate.
Financing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company had a balloon mortgage loan payable repayment of $10.8 million, redemptions of $8.1 million of Class A and Class I Common Shares, distributions of $6.0 million to the holders of Class A and Class I Common Shares, distributions of $3.4 million to the holders of OP Units, which was offset by borrowings of $15.0 million from its revolving credit facility, net proceeds of $6.6 million from the issuance of Class A and Class I Common Shares and pending trade deposits of $2.0 million.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had net repayments of $73.3 million from its revolving credit facilities, mortgage loans payable repayments of $6.5 million, distributions of $6.3 million to the holders of Class A and Class I Common Shares, redemptions of $3.5 million of Class A and Class I Common Shares, distributions of $3.3 million to the
27
holders of OP Units and financing costs of $0.8 million relating to the two mortgage loans payable entered into in February 2023 offset by proceeds of $65.4 million relating to two mortgage loans payable entered into in February 2023, proceeds of $13.2 million from the issuance of Class A and Class I Common Shares and pending trade deposits of $3.4 million.
Distributions
The amount of distributions payable to the Company’s shareholders is determined by the Trustee and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for distribution, the Company’s financial condition, capital expenditure requirements, requirements of Maryland law and annual distribution requirements needed to qualify and maintain its status as a REIT. Our distribution policy is for our inception-to-date cash flow from operations to always exceed our distributions that have been declared or paid, rather than making distributions out of investor equity or financing, subject only to REIT qualification requirements or to avoid incurring federal income tax. The Trustee has authorized, and the Company has declared, distributions through March 31, 2024. The distributions are payable on approximately the 15th day following each month end to shareholders of record at the close of business on the last day of the prior month. Distributions in the aggregate amount of $3.5 million were declared but not yet paid as of March 31, 2024. The unpaid distributions as of March 31,2024 were paid in cash or settled in common shares under the Company's Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Share Purchase Plan (“DRIP”) during April 2024.
The following table provides a summary of the monthly distributions declared and paid per Class A Common Share and Class I Common Share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively:

Related and Affiliated Party Transactions and Agreements
The Company has entered into agreements with ExchangeRight and its affiliates whereby we have paid, and may continue to pay, certain fees to, or reimburse certain expenses of, ExchangeRight or its affiliates for acquisition fees and actual incurred out-of-pocket expenses, but specifically excluding reimbursement related to employee compensation. The Company is also subject to a fee arrangement with ExchangeRight and its affiliates for organization and offering costs and asset and property management fees.
ExchangeRight incurs certain organization and offering costs in connection with the Company’s current private securities offering of its common shares and the organization of the Company. These costs include, but are not limited to, fees related to special purpose entity formation, legal and accounting fees, valuation fees related to any expansion of the offering, marketing expenses and other costs and expenses directly related to the offering and organization of the Company. All of these expenses are paid by ExchangeRight or its affiliates. ExchangeRight earns a percentage of the gross proceeds from the offering which is expected to offset the organizational and offering costs incurred described above. This amount is equal to 1.00% of the net transaction price of sales of common shares. Offering costs of $0.1 million were included in total equity for the three months ended March 31, 2024, for which the Company was obligated to reimburse ExchangeRight.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Other than the items disclosed in the Contractual Obligations section above, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2024 that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on the Company’s financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s most critical accounting policies are summarized below. Other accounting policies are summarized in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 11, 2024. There have been no material changes in such critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Principles of Consolidation
29
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, its subsidiaries and any single member limited liability companies or other entities which are consolidated in accordance with GAAP. The Company consolidates variable interest entities (“VIEs”) when it is the primary beneficiary. Generally, a VIE is an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (1) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (2) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk (a) lack the power through voting or similar rights to make decisions about the entity’s activities that significantly impact the entity’s performance, (b) have no obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (c) have no right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests, and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately fewer voting rights. A VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE has (1) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current values, performance of real estate held by these VIEs, and general market conditions.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the useful lives of real estate assets, lease accounting, real estate impairment assessments and allocation of fair value of purchase consideration. These estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions which management believes are reasonable. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis and makes revisions to these estimates and related disclosures as experience develops or new information becomes known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment in Real Estate
Real estate assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Assets are recognized at fair value at acquisition date.
The Company evaluates each acquisition transaction to determine whether the acquired asset meets the definition of a business and therefore accounted for as a business combination or if the acquisition transaction should be accounted for as an asset acquisition. Under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business” (“ASU 2017-01”), an acquisition does not qualify as a business when substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets or the acquisition does not include a substantive process in the form of an acquired workforce or an acquired contract that cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort or delay. Transaction costs related to acquisitions that qualify as asset acquisitions are capitalized as part of the cost basis of the acquired assets, while transaction costs for acquisitions that are deemed to be acquisitions of a business are expensed as incurred.
The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired properties accounted for as asset acquisitions to tangible and identifiable intangible assets or liabilities based on their relative fair values. Tangible assets may include land, buildings, site improvements and tenant improvements. Intangible assets include the value of in-place leases and above-market leases and intangible liabilities include below-market leases. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property with an in-place operating lease is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to the tangible assets based on the relative fair value of the tangible assets. The fair value of in-place leases is determined by considering estimates of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods, current market conditions as well as costs to execute similar leases based on the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. The Company estimates the cost to execute leases with terms similar to the remaining lease terms of the in-place leases, including tenant improvements, leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.
The values of acquired above-market and below-market leases are recorded based on the present values (using discount rates which reflect the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the differences between the contractual amounts to be received and management’s estimate of market lease rates, measured over the terms of the respective leases that management deemed appropriate at the time of the acquisitions. Such valuations include consideration of the noncancelable terms of the respective leases as well as any applicable renewal periods. The fair values associated with below-market rental renewal options are determined based on the Company’s experience and the relevant facts and circumstances that existed at the time of the
30
acquisitions. The values of the above-market and below-market leases are amortized over the term of the respective leases, including certain renewal options (as applicable), as an adjustment to rental revenue on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The value of other intangible assets (including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, etc.) is amortized to expense over the applicable terms of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration or not renewed, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be recognized in operations at that time. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, the Company utilizes a number of sources and also considers information and other factors including market conditions, the industry that the tenant operates in, characteristics of the real estate; e.g., location, size, demographics, value and comparative rental rates; tenant credit profile and the importance of the location of the real estate to the operations of the tenant’s business. Additionally, the Company considers information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the relative fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired. The Company’s methodology for measuring and allocating the fair value of real estate acquisitions includes both observable market data (categorized as level 2 on the three-level valuation hierarchy of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement), and unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own internal assumptions (categorized as level 3 under ASC Topic 820). Given the significance of the unobservable inputs the Company believes the allocations of fair value of real estate acquisitions should be categorized as level 3 under ASC Topic 820.
Management reviews each real estate investment for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a real estate investment may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability of real estate investments held for use is based on an estimate of the future cash flows that are expected to result from the real estate investment’s use and eventual disposition. These cash flows consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, capital expenditures, competition and other factors. If an impairment event exists due to the projected inability to recover the carrying value of a real estate investment, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value.
Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company considers the period of future benefit of each respective asset to determine its appropriate useful life. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s real estate assets by class are generally as follows:
Description |
|
Depreciable life |
Buildings |
|
39 years |
Building and site improvements |
|
Ranging from 5 to 20 years |
Tenant improvements |
|
Shorter of the term of the related lease or useful life |
Intangible lease assets and liabilities |
|
Term of the related lease |
Expenditures for improvements that substantially extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and betterments that do not substantially prolong the normal useful life of an asset are expensed as incurred.
Revenue Recognition and Receivables
Management has determined that predominantly all of the Company’s leases with its various tenants are operating leases. The Company recognizes minimum rent, including rental abatements, lease incentives and contractual fixed increases attributable to operating leases on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases when collectability is reasonably assured and records amounts expected to be received in later years as deferred rent receivable. Deferred rent receivable represents rent earned in excess of rent received as a result of straight-lining rents over the terms of the leases, in accordance with the guidance and is included in receivables on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Deferred rent liability represents rent received in excess of rent earned as a result of straight-lining rents over the terms of the leases. The Company records property operating expense reimbursements due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs in the period the related expenses are incurred.
A limited number of operating leases contain contingent rent provisions under which tenants are required to pay, as additional rent, a percentage of their sales in excess of a specified amount. The Company defers recognition of contingent rental income until those specified sales targets are met. Revenues also may include items such as lease termination fees, which tend to fluctuate more than rents from year to year. Termination fees are fees that the Company has agreed to accept in consideration for permitting certain tenants to terminate their lease prior to the contractual expiration. The Company recognizes lease termination income when the following conditions are met: (1) the lease termination agreement has been executed, (2) the lease termination
31
fee is determinable, (3) all the Company’s landlord services pursuant to the terminated lease have been rendered, and (4) collectability of the lease termination fee is assured.
If the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or by the Company. When the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is typically not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed.
When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance that is funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term. Tenant improvement ownership is determined based on various factors including, but not limited to:
Noncontrolling Interests
The Company presents noncontrolling interests, which represents OP Units, and classifies such interests as a component of equity, separate from the Company’s shareholders’ equity. Noncontrolling interests were created as part of contribution and merger agreements with former 1031-exchangeable portfolios that were previously managed by ExchangeRight on behalf of investors and recognized at fair value as of the date of the transaction. The holders of OP Units have the right to exchange their OP Units for the same number of the Company’s Class I Common Shares.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected and is qualified to be taxed as a REIT, as it complies with the related provisions under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, the Company generally is not and will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent of its distributions to shareholders and as long as certain asset, income and share ownership tests are met. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must annually distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its shareholders and meet certain other requirements. Under certain circumstances, federal income and excise taxes may be due on its undistributed taxable income. The Company may also be subject to certain state, local and franchise taxes. If the Company fails to meet these requirements, it will be subject to U.S. federal income tax, which could have a material adverse impact on its results of operations and amounts available for distributions to its shareholders. Application of tax laws and regulations to various types of transactions is susceptible to varying interpretations. Therefore, amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements could be changed at a later date upon examination and final determination by the taxing authorities. No such examinations by taxing authorities are presently in process.
The Company provides for uncertain tax positions based upon management’s assessment of whether a tax benefit is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. Management is required to determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Because assumptions are used in determining whether a tax benefit is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities, actual results may differ from the Company’s estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Inflation
During the first quarter of 2023, global markets continued to experience volatility, driven by concerns over geopolitical conflicts in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, persistent inflation, elevated interest rate levels, and uneven economic growth. Inflation persisted at elevated levels compared to historical norms in many major economies around the world, prompting uncertainty over whether and to what extent central banks will ease monetary policy over the next several quarters of 2024, if at all.
Substantially all of the Company’s tenant leases contain provisions designed to partially mitigate the negative impact of inflation in the near term. Such lease provisions include clauses that require tenants to reimburse the Company for inflation-sensitive costs such as real estate taxes or insurance and many of the operating expenses it incurs. The Company has not been
32
materially impacted in the current period by elevated interest rate levels as all of its mortgage debt is currently effectively fixed-rate financing as of March 31, 2024. Further inflation rate increases or elevated interest rates over a prolonged period of time may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business. It remains difficult to predict the full impact of recent events and any future changes in interest rates or inflation.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
FFO and Adjusted FFO
FFO is a widely recognized supplemental non-GAAP measure utilized to evaluate the financial performance of a REIT. The Company presents FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT generally defines FFO as net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of real estate properties, impairment write-downs on real estate properties directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and adjustments for partnerships and joint ventures to reflect FFO on the same basis. The Company considers FFO to be an appropriate measure of its financial performance because it captures features particular to real estate performance by recognizing that real estate generally appreciates over time or maintains residual value to a much greater extent than other depreciable assets.
The Company also considers Adjusted Funds From Operations (“Adjusted FFO”) to be an additional meaningful financial measure of financial performance as it provides supplemental information concerning our operating performance, exclusive of certain non-cash items and other costs. The Company believes Adjusted FFO further assists in comparing the Company’s performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding such items.
FFO and Adjusted FFO should be reviewed with net (loss) attributable to common shareholders, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, when trying to understand the Company’s operating performance. FFO and Adjusted FFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders or to cash flow from operating activities. The Company’s computations of FFO and Adjusted FFO may differ from the computations utilized by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such REITs.
A reconciliation of net (loss) attributable to common shareholders to FFO and Adjusted FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, is as follows:

Net Asset Value
The Company calculates NAV per share in accordance with the valuation guidelines that have been approved by our Trustee. Our Trustee has adopted valuation procedures, as amended from time to time, that contain a comprehensive set of methodologies to be used in connection with the calculation of our NAV. To calculate our NAV for the purpose of establishing a purchase and redemption price for our shares, our Trustee has adopted a model which adjusts the value of certain of our investments in real estate assets from historical cost to fair value. Our Trustee oversees the process of determining our estimated NAV per share, which includes considering estimated values of our commercial real estate assets and investments, including related liabilities, based upon, in certain instances, reports of the discounted cash flows generated by the underlying real estate provided by an independent valuation firm. The Trustee, upon its receipt and review of such valuation report, will determine a reasonable range for our estimated NAV per share and an estimated NAV per share. The independent valuation firm is not responsible for, and does not prepare, our NAV per share. The final determination of our NAV per share is made by our Trustee. The estimated NAV per share will represent approximately the mid-point of the range of values reflecting the effect of using different discount rates and terminal capitalization rates in the sensitivity analysis. Such NAV may be declared prior to the finalization, and ultimate issuance, of our quarterly or annual financial statements which may result in an immaterial variance in the declared NAV per share to the final reconciliation of NAV per share after the review and issuance of such financial statements is completed. If any such variance was ever determined to be material, our Trustee would declare a revised NAV per share for the quarter. Our Trustee has used the mid-point of the independent valuation firm’s real estate value range in setting the NAV per share since our formation.
We will cause our real property portfolio to be valued quarterly by an independent valuation firm, which will apply the fair value methodologies detailed within the Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. An independent valuation firm will review information provided by our Trustee regarding the properties we own as of the end of the quarter including location, building size, tenancy, lease rates, lease term and various other relevant metrics. The independent valuation firm will also research and analyze market data and valuation benchmarks in connection with each quarterly valuation. The independent valuation firm will principally focus on the income approach with each quarterly valuation and may perform the following actions in connection with its quarterly valuations:
In performing each quarterly valuation, our Trustee will provide the independent valuation firm with certain data, including but not limited to the following:
The Company’s total NAV presented in the following tables includes the NAV of our Class A, I and S Common Shares, as well as the OP Units as of March 31, 2024 and per share/unit is identical for Class A, I and S Common Shares and OP Units.

The Company’s investments in real estate are presented under historical cost in our consolidated financial statements. As such, any increases or decreases in the fair market value of the Company’s investments in real estate are not recorded in the Company’s GAAP results other than in the event of an impairment or upon a sale. The Company’s mortgage loans payable and revolving credit facilities are valued at GAAP carrying value in the Company’s NAV calculation for any financings that are anticipated to be held to maturity. In addition, because the Company plans to utilize interest rate hedges to stabilize interest payments (i.e. to fix all-in interest rates through interest rate swaps or to limit interest rate exposure through interest rate caps) on individual loans and intends to hold each interest rate hedge until maturity, each interest rate hedge will be valued at par and thus its market value in accordance with GAAP will be excluded from the calculation of NAV. The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement concurrent with the closing of the $26.9 million mortgage entered into in February 2023. At March 31, 2024, $47,000 is included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities relating to the fair value of this interest rate swap agreement, which was not included for the calculation of NAV.
While the Company believes that the independent valuation firm’s assumptions and inputs are reasonable, a change in these assumptions and inputs may significantly impact the fair value of the real estate properties and the Company’s estimated NAV per share. For purposes of determining the Company’s NAV, the Company’s investments in real estate as of (1) March 31, 2024 are recorded at fair value using a weighted average discount rate of 6.60% with a range of 6.50% to 6.70% and weighted average exit capitalization rate of 5.75% with a range of 5.65% to 5.85% and (2) December 31, 2023 are recorded at fair value using a weighted average discount rate of 6.60% with a range of 6.50% to 6.70% and weighted average exit capitalization rate of 5.75% with a range of 5.65% to 5.85%. Assuming all other factors remain unchanged, the tables below present the estimated

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules, forms and regulations and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management carries out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of each fiscal quarter. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
We and our Trustee may from time to time be a party to legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of our business. The Company’s management is not aware of any current or pending legal proceedings to which we or any of our subsidiaries, or the Trustee, are a party or to which any of our property is subject, the outcome of which would, in management’s judgment based on information currently available, have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition, nor is management aware of any such legal proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities.

Private Offering of Common Shares
On February 28, 2019, we commenced private placement offerings of our Class I and Class A Common Shares, the terms of which have been updated from time to time (the “Private Offering”). Upon the receipt of investment proceeds from the offering of our common shares, we transfer the net investment proceeds to our Operating Partnership in exchange for OP Units to be held by the Company. The offerings had an initial aggregate offering amount of $100,000,000, which has since been increased by the Trustee to the current aggregate offering amount of $2.165 billion. The common shares are being sold only for cash. The offering does not have a defined expiration date and will be left open to investors until the Trustee determines to terminate the offering. We also have offered the common shares at various offering prices, as determined by the Trustee, effective at various intervals. From the inception of the Private Offering until July 5, 2023, we offered the common shares in the Private Offering in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Commencing on July 6, 2023, we began conducting the Private Offering under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D, and began accepting subscriptions for investments under those terms for purchases closing on or after August 1, 2023. As of that date, subscriptions will be accepted solely from “accredited investors,” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, whose accredited investor status has been verified by us. Under Rule 506(c), general solicitation and advertisement of offerings is permitted, however all purchasers in the offering must be accredited investors and the Company must take reasonable steps to verify the accredited investor status of each purchaser, among other requirements.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we sold common shares in the Private Offering, as set forth in the following table:

We have engaged broker-dealers who are registered with the SEC and members of the FINRA to act as our exclusive placement agents in connection with the Private Offering. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we paid aggregate selling commissions to these placement agents in connection with the Private Offering of $371,000, allocable among the various classes of our common shares as follows: $4,000 with respect to the Class I Common Shares; and $367,000 with respect to the Class A Common Shares.
Issuance of Common Shares to OP Unitholders
The holders of the Operating Partnership’s Class I Common Units have the right to cause their Class I Common Units to be redeemed by the Operating Partnership for cash, unless the Company, in its sole discretion, elects to purchase such Class I Common Units in exchange for Class I Common Shares of the Company, issuable on a 1:1 basis, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The Company currently intends to elect to pay the redemption price for all Class I Common Units tendered for redemption in the form of Class I Common Shares.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, holders of 24,449 Class I Common Units elected to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem their Class I Common Units, and the Company elected to purchase those units in exchange for the issuance of 24,449 Class I Common Shares. The Company did not pay any selling commissions in connection with the issuance of those common shares during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Share Repurchases
The Company has a share repurchase program to provide eligible shareholders with limited, interim liquidity by enabling them to sell shares back to the Company, subject to restrictions and applicable law, if such repurchases do not impair the capital or operations of the Company. The Company is structured to provide partial liquidity to investors through redemptions on a quarterly basis of up to 5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares per fiscal year pursuant to the share repurchase program. Affiliates may seek to have their shares repurchased on the same terms and limitations as the common shareholders. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, ExchangeRight’s $15.0 million investment in Class I Common Shares is not eligible for redemption pursuant to the share repurchase program. All shareholder requests to the Company for repurchases have been honored since the inception of the Company.
