PRINCETON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Essential Properties Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: EPRT; “Essential Properties” or the “Company”), today announced operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
First Quarter 2019 Financial and Operating Highlights
|
• |
Completed first follow-on offering in March of 14,030,000 shares at $17.50 raising $234.6 million in net proceeds |
|
• |
Ended the first quarter at 99.9% leased with a weighted average lease term (“WALT”) of 14.5 years and a weighted average rent coverage ratio of 2.8x |
|
• |
Grew Same-Store Contractual Cash Rents by 1.8% |
|
• |
Reduced top 10 tenant concentration to 30.7%, a 240 bps sequential decline |
|
• |
Invested $118.2 million in 51 properties at a 7.5% weighted average cash cap rate |
|
• |
Net income increased to $8.7 million, or $0.13 per share on a fully diluted basis |
|
• |
Increased Funds from Operations (“FFO”) to $18.6 million, or $0.29 per share on a fully diluted basis |
|
• |
Increased Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”) to $17.9 million, or $0.27 per share on a fully diluted basis |
|
• |
Net debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDA re was 3.7x at quarter end |
Commenting on the first quarter results, Essential Properties’ President and Chief Executive Officer, Pete Mavoides, said, “The first quarter was transformative for the Company. Our first follow-on offering in March meaningfully increased our float and liquidity while further broadening of base of institutional investors. During the quarter, we continued to execute our investment strategy of sourcing relationship-driven sale-leaseback transactions with middle-market tenants, which served to further diversify our portfolio, lower our top 10 tenant concentration, and lengthen our weighted average lease term. In addition, the newer vintage nature of our portfolio helped drive both a 1.8% increase in same-store contractual cash NOI and strong occupancy with just one vacant asset at quarter-end. Lastly, with a low levered balance sheet and our recently expanded $600 million unsecured credit facility being fully available, we have ample capital capacity to execute on our growing investment pipeline into 2020.”
Total Revenue
Total revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 increased to $31.1 million, as compared to $20.2 million for the same quarter in 2018.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, Essential Properties invested $118.2 million in 51 properties in 35 separate transactions at a weighted average cash and GAAP cap rate of 7.5% and 8.4%, respectively. These properties are 100% leased with a WALT of 15.1 years.

Portfolio Highlights
As of March 31, 2019, Essential Properties’ portfolio consisted of 711 freestanding net lease properties, which included three properties that secured mortgage notes receivable, with a WALT of 14.5 years and a weighted average rent coverage ratio of 2.8x. As of the same date, the portfolio was 99.9% leased by 172 tenants operating 197 different concepts across 44 states in 16 distinct industries. At quarter end, 91.7% of the Company’s cash ABR was generated from tenants that operate service-oriented or experience-based businesses, and 61.9% of its cash ABR was derived from properties subject to a master lease.
Leasing Activity
During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company had one vacant property, which is currently being marketed for sale or lease. In addition, the Company signed one new lease without vacancy at a 108% recovery rate.
Capital Markets, Leverage and Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Capital Markets Activity
On March 18, 2019, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 14,030,000 shares of its common stock, including 1,830,000 shares of common stock purchased by the underwriters pursuant to an option to purchase additional shares, at an offering price of $17.50 per share. In total, the Company received approximately $234.6 million in net proceeds from the transaction.
Leverage
As of March 31, 2019, the Company’s ratio of net debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDA re was 3.7x.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Essential Properties had no outstanding borrowings under its $300 million unsecured revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2019. In addition, the Company had $114.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as of March 31, 2019.
On April 12, 2019, the Company amended its pre-existing credit facility to, among other things, i) increase the maximum aggregate initial original principal amount of revolving loans available to $400 million, ii) extend the term of the facility to four years from the date of amendment, iii) reduce the interest rate on the facility to LIBOR plus 1.25% to 1.85% and iv) permit the incurrence of an additional $200 million in term loans thereunder on a non-revolving basis. The amended credit facility includes an accordion feature to increase, subject to certain conditions, the maximum availability of the facility by up to $200 million.
The Company reiterates its previously issued expectation that 2019 AFFO per share on a fully diluted basis will be within a range of $1.11 to $1.15. This AFFO per share guidance equates to anticipated net income, excluding gains or losses on sales of property, of $0.50 to $0.54 per share, plus $0.63 to $0.64 per share of expected real estate depreciation and amortization, minus $0.02 to $0.03 per share related to non-cash items.

You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions of management. Forward-looking statements involve numerous
risks and uncertainties and you should not rely on them as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions, data or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise and the Company may not b e able to realize them. The Company does not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as o f the date of this press release. While forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forwa rd-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking e vents discussed in this press release might not occur as described, or at all.
Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements is contained from time to time in the company’s Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission”) filings, including, but not limited to, the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Copies of each filing may be obtained from the Company or the Commission. Such forward-looking statements should be regarded solely as reflections of the company’s current operating plans and estimates. Actual operating results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Certain Definitions
The Company’s reported results are presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company also discloses the following non-GAAP financial measures: funds from operations (“FFO”), adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”), earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), EBITDA further adjusted to exclude gains (or losses) on sales of depreciable property and real estate impairment losses (“EBITDA re ”), adjusted EBITDA re , annualized adjusted EBITDA re , net debt, net operating income (“NOI”) and cash NOI (“Cash NOI”). The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs.
FFO and AFFO
The Company computes FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude extraordinary items (as defined by GAAP), net gain or loss from sales of depreciable real estate assets, impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate assets and real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries. FFO is used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of
operating performance between periods and among the Company ’s peers primarily because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales (which are dependent on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions).
To derive AFFO, the Company modifies the NAREIT computation of FFO to include other adjustments to GAAP net income related to certain items that it believes are not indicative of the Company’s core operating performance, including straight-line rental revenue, non-cash interest expense, non-cash compensation expense, other amortization and non-cash charges, capitalized interest expense and transaction costs. Such items may cause short-term fluctuations in net income but have no impact on operating cash flows or long-term operating performance. The Company believes that AFFO is an additional useful supplemental measure for investors to consider because it will help them to better assess the Company’s operating performance without the distortions created by non-cash and certain other revenues and expenses.
FFO and AFFO do not include all items of revenue and expense included in net income, nor do they represent cash generated from operating activities, and they are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements; accordingly, they should not be considered alternatives to net income as a performance measure or cash flows from operations as a liquidity measure and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures. FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
EBITDA and EBITDAre
The Company calculates EBITDA as earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. In 2017, NAREIT issued a white paper recommending that companies that report EBITDA also report EBITDA re . The Company computes EBITDA re in accordance with the definition adopted by NAREIT. NAREIT defines EBITDA re as EBITDA (as defined above) excluding gains (or losses) from the sales of depreciable property and real estate impairment losses. The Company presents EBITDA and EBITDA re as they are measures commonly used in its industry and the Company believes that these measures are useful to investors and analysts because they provide important supplemental information concerning its operating performance, exclusive of certain non-cash items and other costs. The Company uses EBITDA and EBITDAre as measures of its operating performance and not as measures of liquidity.
EBITDA and EBITDA re are not measures of financial performance under GAAP, and the Company’s EBITDA and EBITDA re may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. You should not consider EBITDA and EBITDA re as alternatives to net income or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP.
Net Debt
The Company calculates its net debt as our gross debt (defined as total debt plus net deferred financing costs on its secured borrowings) less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash deposits held for the benefit of lenders. The Company believes excluding cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash deposits held for the benefit of lenders from gross debt, all of
w hich could be used to repay debt, provides an estimate of the net contractual amount of borrowed capital to be repaid, which it believes is a beneficial disclosure to investors and analysts.
NOI and Cash NOI
The Company calculates NOI as total revenues less property expenses. NOI excludes all other items of expense and income included in the financial statements in calculating net income or loss. Cash NOI further excludes non-cash items included in total revenues and property expenses, such as straight-line rental revenue and other amortization and non-cash charges. The Company believes NOI and Cash NOI provide useful and relevant information because they reflect only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level and present such items on an unlevered basis.
NOI and Cash NOI are not measures of financial performance under GAAP, and the Company’s NOI and Cash NOI may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. You should not consider the Company’s NOI and Cash NOI as alternatives to net income or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDAre / Adjusted NOI / Adjusted Cash NOI
The Company adjusts EBITDA re , NOI and Cash NOI based on an estimate calculated as if all acquisition and disposition activity that took place during the current quarter had occurred on the first day of the quarter. The Company then annualizes these estimates for the current quarter by multiplying them by four, which it believes provides a meaningful estimate of the Company’s current run rate for all properties owned as of the end of the current quarter. You should not unduly rely on these measures as they are based on assumptions and estimates that may prove to be inaccurate. The Company’s actual reported EBITDA re , NOI and Cash NOI for future periods may be significantly less than these estimates of current run rates for a variety of reasons.
Cash ABR
Cash ABR means annualized contractually specified cash base rent in effect as of the end of the current quarter for all of the Company’s leases (including those accounted for as direct financing leases) commenced as of that date and annualized cash interest on its mortgage loans receivable as of that date.
Cash Cap Rate
Cash Cap Rate means annualized contractually specified cash base rent for the first full month after acquisition or disposition divided by the purchase or sale price, as applicable, for the property.
GAAP Cap Rate means annualized rental income computed in accordance with GAAP for the first full month after acquisition divided by the purchase price, as applicable, for the property.
Rent Coverage Ratio
Rent coverage ratio means the ratio of tenant-reported or, when unavailable, management’s estimate based on tenant-reported financial information, annual EBITDA and cash rent attributable to the leased property (or properties, in the case of a master lease) to the annualized base rental obligation as of a specified date.

Leasing Summary Lease Escalations 242, 242, 242 Leases contributing 98% of cash ABR provided for base rent escalation, generally ranging from 1.0% to 4.0% annually, with a weighted average annual escalation rate of 1.5%, which assumes 0.0% change in annual CPI 11% of contractual rent escalations by cash ABR are CPI-based, while 87% are based on fixed percentage or scheduled increases 63% of cash ABR derived from flat leases is attributable to leases that provide for contingent rent based on a percentage of the tenant’s gross sales at the leased property Based on cash ABR as of March 31, 2019. Represents the weighted average annual escalation rate of the entire portfolio as if all escalations occur annually. For leases in which rent escalates by the greater of a stated fixed percentage or CPI, we have assumed an escalation equal to the stated fixed percentage in the lease. As any future increase in CPI is unknowable at this time, we have not included an increase in the rent pursuant to these leases in the weighted average annual escalation rate presented.

Glossary Supplemental Reporting Measures 242, 242, 242 FFO and AFFO Our reported results are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). We also disclose funds from operations (“FFO”) and adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”), both of which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs. We compute FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude extraordinary items (as defined by GAAP), net gain or loss from sales of depreciable real estate assets, impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate assets and real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries. FFO is used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers primarily because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales (which are dependent on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions). To derive AFFO, we modify the NAREIT computation of FFO to include other adjustments to GAAP net income related to certain items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance, including straight-line rental revenue, non-cash interest expense, non-cash compensation expense, other amortization and non-cash charges, capitalized interest expense and transaction costs. Such items may cause short-term fluctuations in net income but have no impact on operating cash flows or long-term operating performance. We believe that AFFO is an additional useful supplemental measure for investors to consider because it will help them to better assess our operating performance without the distortions created by non-cash and certain other revenues and expenses. FFO and AFFO do not include all items of revenue and expense included in net income, nor do they represent cash generated from operating activities, and they are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements; accordingly, they should not be considered alternatives to net income as a performance measure or cash flows from operations as a liquidity measure and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures. FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Glossary Supplemental Reporting Measures 242, 242, 242 We also present our earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization for real estate (“EBITDA”), EBITDA further adjusted to exclude gains (or losses) on sales of depreciable property and real estate impairment losses (“EBITDAre”), net debt, net operating income (“NOI”) and cash NOI (“Cash NOI”), all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs. EBITDA and EBITDAre We calculate EBITDA as earnings before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. In 2017, NAREIT issued a white paper recommending that companies that report EBITDA also report EBITDAre. We compute EBITDAre in accordance with the definition adopted by NAREIT. NAREIT defines EBITDAre as EBITDA (as defined above) excluding gains (or losses) from the sales of depreciable property and real estate impairment losses. We present EBITDA and EBITDAre as they are measures commonly used in our industry and we believe that these measures are useful to investors and analysts because they provide important supplemental information concerning our operating performance, exclusive of certain non-cash and other costs. We use EBITDA and EBITDAre as measures of our operating performance and not as measures of liquidity. EBITDA and EBITDAre are not measures of financial performance under GAAP, and our EBITDA and EBITDAre may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. You should not consider EBITDA and EBITDAre as alternatives to net income or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Net Debt We calculate our net debt as our gross debt (defined as total debt plus net deferred financing costs on our secured borrowings) less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash deposits held for the benefit of lenders. We believe excluding cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash deposits held for the benefit of lenders from gross debt, all of which could be used to repay debt, provides an estimate of the net contractual amount of borrowed capital to be repaid, which we believe is a beneficial disclosure to investors and analysts. NOI and Cash NOI We calculate NOI as total revenues less property expenses. NOI excludes all other items of expense and income included in the financial statements in calculating net income or loss. Cash NOI further excludes non-cash items included in total revenues and property expenses, such as straight-line rental revenue and other amortization and non-cash charges. We believe NOI and Cash NOI provide useful and relevant information because they reflect only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level and present such items on an unlevered basis. NOI and Cash NOI are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP, and our NOI and Cash NOI may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. You should not consider our NOI and Cash NOI as alternatives to net income or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDAre / Adjusted NOI / Adjusted Cash NOI We adjust EBITDAre, NOI and Cash NOI based on an estimate calculated as if all acquisition and disposition activity that took place during the current quarter had been made on the first day of the quarter. We then annualize these estimates for the current quarter by multiplying them by four, which we believe provides a meaningful estimate of our current run rate for all properties owned as of the end of the current quarter. You should not unduly rely on these metrics as they are based on assumptions and estimates that may prove to be inaccurate. Our actual reported EBITDAre, NOI and Cash NOI for future periods may be significantly less than these estimates of current run rates for a variety of reasons.
