27 © 20 23 AGREE REALTY CORPORATION . ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. CONFIDENTIAL. Non - GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes a non - GAAP financial measure, Net Debt to Recurring EBITDA, which is presented on an actual and profo rma basis. A reconciliation of this non - GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the follo wing pages. The components of this ratio and their use and utility to management are described further in the section below. Components of Net Debt to Recurring EBITDA EBITDAre is defined by Nareit to mean net income computed in accordance with GAAP, plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, any gains (or losses) from sales of real estate assets and/or changes in control, any impairme nt charges on depreciable real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company conside rs the non - GAAP measure of EBITDAre to be a key supplemental measure of the Company's performance and should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income or loss as a measure of the Company's operating performance. The Company considers EBITDAre a key supplemental measure of the Company's operating performance because it provides an additional supplemental measure of the Company's performance and operating cash flow that is widely known by industry analysts, lenders and investors. The Company’s calculation of EBITDAre may not be comparable to EBITDAre reported by other REITs that interpret the Nareit definition differently than the Company. Recurring EBITDA The Company defines Recurring EBITDA as EBITDAre with the addback of noncash amortization of above - and below - market lease intangibles, and after adjustments for the run - rate impact of the Company's investment and disposition activity for the period presented, as well as adjustments for non - recurring benefits or expenses. The Company considers the non - GAAP measure of Recurrin g EBITDA to be a key supplemental measure of the Company's performance and should be considered along with, but not as an alter nat ive to, net income or loss as a measure of the Company's operating performance. The Company considers Recurring EBITDA a key supplemental measure of the Company's operating performance because it represents the Company's earnings run rate for the per iod presented and because it is widely followed by industry analysts, lenders and investors. Our Recurring EBITDA may not be com par able to Recurring EBITDA reported by other companies that have a different interpretation of the definition of Recurring EBITDA. Our rat io of net debt to Recurring EBITDA is used by management as a measure of leverage and may be useful to investors in understanding the Company’s ability to service its debt, as well as assess the borrowing capacity of the Company. Our ratio of net debt to Rec urr ing EBITDA is calculated by taking annualized Recurring EBITDA and dividing it by our net debt per the consolidated balance sheet. Net Debt The Company defines Net Debt as total debt less cash, cash equivalents and cash held in escrows. The Company considers the non - GAAP measure of Net Debt to be a key supplemental measure of the Company's overall liquidity, capital structure and leverage . The Company considers Net Debt a key supplemental measure because it provides industry analysts, lenders and investors useful inf orm ation in understanding our financial condition. The Company’s calculation of Net Debt may not be comparable to Net Debt reported by ot her REITs that interpret the definition differently than the Company. The Company presents Net Debt on both an actual and proforma basis, assuming the Anticipated Net Proceeds from Outstanding Forwards are used to pay down debt. The Company believes the proforma measure may be useful to investors in understanding the potential effect of the Anticipated Net Proceeds from Outstanding For war ds on the Company’s capital structure, its future borrowing capacity, and its ability to service its debt. Anticipated Net Proceeds from Outstanding Forwards Since the first quarter of 2018, the Company has utilized forward sale agreements to sell shares of common stock. Selling common stock through forward sale agreements enables the Company to set the price of suc h s hares upon pricing the offering (subject to certain adjustments) while delaying the issuance of such shares and the receipt of the net proceeds by the Company. Given the Company’s frequent use of forward sale agreements, the Company considers the non - GAAP measure of Anticipated Net Proceeds from Outstanding Forwards to be a key supplemental measure of the Company's overall liquidity, capit al structure and leverage. The Company defines Anticipated Net Proceeds from Outstanding Forwards as the number of shares outsta ndi ng under forward sale agreements at the end of each quarter, multiplied by the applicable forward sale price for each agreement, respectively.

 

 

28 © 20 23 AGREE REALTY CORPORATION . ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. CONFIDENTIAL. Non - GAAP Financial Measures This presentation also includes the non - GAAP measures of Annualized Base Rent (“ABR”), Funds From Operations (“FFO” or “ Nareit FFO”), Core Funds From Operations (“Core FFO”) and Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”). ABR represents the annualized amount of contractual minimum rent required by tenant lease agreements, computed on a straight - line basis. ABR is not, and is not intended to be, a presentation in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes annualized contractual minimum rent is useful to management, inves tor s, and other interested parties in analyzing concentrations and leasing activity. FFO, Core FFO and AFFO are reconciled to the m ost directly comparable GAAP measure in the following pages and are described in further detail below. Components of Funds from Operations, Core Funds from Operations, and Adjusted Funds from Operations Funds from Operations (“FFO” or “ Nareit FFO”) is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“ Nareit ”) to mean net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate assets and/or changes in control, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and any impairment charges on depreciable real estate assets, an d after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordan ce with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead ha ve historically risen or fallen with market conditions, most real estate industry investors consider FFO to be helpful in evaluating a real e sta te company’s operations. FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income as the primary indicator of the Company’s operating per for mance, or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Further, while the Company adheres to the Nareit definition of FFO, its presentation of FFO is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs due to the fact that all REITs may not use the same definition. Core Funds from Operations (“Core FFO”) The Company defines Core FFO as Nareit FFO with the addback of ( i ) noncash amortization of acquisition purchase price related to above - and below - market lease intangibles and discount on assumed debt and (ii) certain infrequently occurring items that reduce or increase net income in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that its measure of Core FFO facilitates useful comparison of performance to its peers who predominantly transact in sale - leaseback transactions and are thereby not required by GAAP to allocate purchase price to lease intangibles. Unlike many of its peers, the Company has acqu ire d the substantial majority of its net - leased properties through acquisitions of properties from third parties or in connection with th e acquisitions of ground leases from third parties. Core FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income as the primary indicator of the Company’s operating performance, or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Further, the Company’s presenta tio n of Core FFO is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs due to the fact that all REITs may not use th e same definition. Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”) is a non - GAAP financial measure of operating performance used by many companies in the REIT industry. AFFO further adjusts FFO and Core FFO for certain non - cash items that reduce or increase net income computed in accord ance with GAAP. Management considers AFFO a useful supplemental measure of the Company’s performance, however, AFFO should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of its performance, or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity or abi lit y to make distributions. The Company’s computation of AFFO may differ from the methodology for calculating AFFO used by other equity RE ITs , and therefore may not be comparable to such other REITs.
