(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us” refers to Ares Real Estate Income Trust Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company isWe are externally managed by itsour advisor. On July 1, 2021, Ares Management Corporation (“Ares”) closed on the acquisition of the U.S. real estate investment advisory and distribution business of Black Creek Group, including the Company’s former advisor, Black Creek Diversified Property Advisors LLC (the “Former Advisor”). As a result of the closing of this transaction, Ares Commercial Real Estate Management LLC became the Company’s new advisor (the “New Advisor”). Ares did not acquire the Company’s former sponsor, Black Creek Diversified Property Advisors Group LLC (the “Former Sponsor”), and the Company now considers the Ares real estate group (“AREG”) to be its Sponsor. References to the “Advisor” throughout this report mean Black Creek Diversified Property Advisors LLC for periods prior to July 1, 2021 and Ares Commercial Real Estate Management LLC for periods thereafter.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain disclosures normally included in the annual audited financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) have been omitted. As such, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, filed with the SEC on March 14, 20, 2023 (“2022 (“2021 Form 10-K”).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Global macroeconomic conditions, including heightened inflation, changes to fiscal and monetary policy, higher interest rates and challenges in the supply chain, coupled with the war in Ukraine and the ongoing effects of the novel coronavirus pandemic, have the potential to negatively impact us. These current macroeconomic conditions may continue or aggravate and could cause the United States to experience an economic slowdown or recession. We anticipate our business and operations could be materially adversely affected by a prolonged recession in the United States.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with GAAP.

As used herein, the term “commercial” refers to our office, retail and industrial properties or customers, as applicable.

Reclassifications

Certain items in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated statements of equity and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 have been reclassified to conform to the 20222023 presentation.

Real Estate Property Impairment

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded non-cash impairment charges of $0.8 million related to a retail property located in the Greater Boston market, which was disposed of in March 2021. Prior to the disposition, we reevaluated the fair value of the property and determined that the net book value of the property exceeded the respective contract sales price less costs to sell the property, resulting in the impairment.

3. ASSETS HELD FOR SALEINVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURE PARTNERSHIPS

(1)The difference between the carrying amount and the outstanding principal amount of the debt-related investments consists of unamortized purchase discount, deferred financing costs, loan origination costs, and any recorded credit loss reserves, if applicable.
(2)As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, carrying amounts include $39.5 million and $42.0 million, respectively, related to one senior loan debt-related investment that was in default and on non-accrual status. Outstanding principal includes $43.8 million related to this senior loan as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. We recorded an impairment loss of $2.5 million related to this senior loan during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and included the impairment loss in impairment loss on debt-related investment held for sale on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. This senior loan is held-for-sale and therefore the carrying amount has been reduced to its fair value as of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Weighted-average interest rate and weighted-average remaining life excludes this senior loan from its calculations.

Current Expected Credit Losses

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, requires us to reflect current expected credit losses (“CECL”) on both the outstanding balances and unfunded commitments on loans held for investment and requires consideration of a broad range of historical experience adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecast information to inform credit loss estimates (the “CECL Reserve”). ASU No. 2016-13 was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that reporting period. ASU No. 2016-13 was adopted by us as of January 1, 2020. Increases and decreases to expected credit losses impact earnings and are recorded within the provision for current expected credit losses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The CECL Reserve related to outstanding balances on loans held for investment required under ASU No. 2016-13 is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of our loans held for investment in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The CECL Reserve related to unfunded commitments on loans held for investment is recorded within other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We estimate our CECL Reserve primarily using a probability-weighted model that considers the likelihood of default and expected loss given default for each individual loan. Calculation of the CECL Reserve requires loan specific data, which includes capital senior to us when we are the subordinate lender, changes in net operating income, debt service coverage ratio, loan-to-value, occupancy, property type and geographic location. Estimating the CECL Reserve also requires significant judgment with respect to various factors, including (i) the appropriate historical loan loss reference data, (ii) the expected timing of loan repayments, (iii) calibration of the likelihood of default to reflect the risk characteristics of our floating rate loan portfolio and (iv) our current and future view of the macroeconomic environment. We may consider loan-specific qualitative factors on certain loans to estimate our CECL Reserve. In order to estimate the future expected loan losses relevant to our portfolio, we utilize historical market loan loss data licensed from a third-party data service. For periods beyond the reasonable and supportable forecast period, we revert back to historical loss data.

Loan balances that are deemed to be uncollectible are written off as a realized loss and are deducted from our CECL Reserve. The write-offs are recorded in the period in which the loan balance is deemed uncollectible based on management’s judgment.

4. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURE PARTNERSHIPSAs of March 31, 2023, our CECL Reserve for our debt-related investment portfolio is $5.6 million or 1.6% of our debt- related investment commitment balance of $358.3 million recognized as an increase in provision for loan loss during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The debt-related investment commitment balance is comprised of $220.4 million of funded commitments and $137.9 million of unfunded commitments with associated CECL Reserves of $3.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively. The CECL Reserve for unfunded commitments is based on the unfunded portion of the loan commitment over the full contractual period over which we are exposed to credit risk through a current obligation to extend credit and is recorded as an other liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The calculation of the CECL Reserve excludes one debt-related investment that is currently held for sale. There have been no write-offs or recoveries related to any of our existing debt-related investments. CECL Reserves were immaterial in prior periods.

Available-for-Sale Debt Securities

We acquire debt securities that are primarily collateralized by mortgages on commercial real estate properties primarily for cash management and investment purposes. On November 30, 2021,the acquisition date, we acquired interests in 2 joint venture partnerships, Pathfinder Core AREIT JV NNN Holdings, LLC (“Net Lease JV I”) and Pathfinder Core AREIT Net Lease Aggregator LLC (“Net Lease JV II”), for purposes of investing in properties across the U.S. with triple net lease agreements. On December 21, 2021, we also acquired interests in another joint venture partnership, AREIT-McDowell Vue Parent LLC (“Vue 1400 JV”), with third party investors for purposes of acquiring a 316 unit residential property in West Palm Beach, Florida. We record ourdesignate investments in these joint venture partnerships undercommercial real estate debt securities as available-for-sale. Investments in debt securities that are classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value. These assets are valued on a recurring basis and any unrealized holding gains and losses other than those associated with a credit loss are recorded each period in other comprehensive income. There were no credit losses associated with our available-for-sale debt securities as of and for the equity methodperiod ended March 31 2023.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had one debt security investment designated as available-for-sale debt securities. The weighted-average remaining term of our available-for-sale debt security, which is based on our consolidated balance sheets as we have the ability to exercise significant influence in each partnership but do not have controlestimated fully extended maturity dates of the entities.underlying loans of the debt security, was approximately 3.8 years as of March 31, 2023.

(1)The term of the line of credit may be extended pursuant to 2two six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions.

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) that regulates LIBOR announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York organized the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”), which identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred alternative rate for LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. Any changes adopted by the FCA or other governing bodies in the method used for determining LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR. If that were to occur, our interest payments could change. In addition, uncertainty about the extent and manner of future changes may result in interest rates and/or payments that are higher or lower than if LIBOR were to remain available in its current form.

LIBOR is expected to be phased out or modified by June 2023. As of June 30, 2022, our line of credit, term loans andMarch 31, 2023, certain of our mortgage notes have initial or extended maturity dates beyond 2023 with exposure to LIBOR. The agreements governing these loans provide procedures for determining a replacement or alternative base rate in the event that LIBOR is discontinued. However, there can be no assurances as to whether such replacement or alternative base rate will be more or less favorable than LIBOR. We intend to monitor the developments with respect to the phasing out of LIBOR after June 2023 and work with our lenders to seek to ensure any transition away from LIBOR will have minimal impact on our financial condition, but can provide no assurances regarding the impact of the discontinuation of LIBOR. In July 2022, we amended our credit facility and changed the calculation of our effective interest rate to replace LIBOR with SOFR.

Debt Covenants

Our line of credit, term loans and mortgage note agreements contain various property-level covenants, including customary affirmative and negative covenants. In addition, the line of credit and term loan agreements contain certain corporate-level financial covenants, including leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio and tangible net worth thresholds. We were in compliance with our debt covenants as of June 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

Derivative Instruments

To manage interest rate risk for certain of our variable-rate debt, we use interest rate derivative instruments as part of our risk management strategy. These derivatives are designed to mitigate the risk of future interest rate increases by either providing a fixed interest rate or capping the variable interest rate for a limited, pre-determined period of time. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments over the life of the interest rate swap agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest rate caps involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty at the end of each period in which the interest rate exceeds the agreed fixed price. Interest rate caps are not designated as hedges. Certain of our variable-rate borrowings are not hedged, and therefore, to an extent, we have ongoing exposure to interest rate movements.

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and is reclassified into earnings as interest expense for the same period that the hedged transaction affects earnings, which is when the interest expense is recognized on the related debt. During the next 12 months, we estimate that approximately $2.9$13.2 million will be reclassified as ana decrease to interest expense related to active effective hedges of existing floating-rate debt.

As of March 31, 2023, we have two interest rate cap derivative instruments that are not designated as cash flow hedges and therefore, changes in fair value must beare recognized through income. As a result, in periods with high interest rate volatility, we may experience significant fluctuations in our net income (loss).

6. DST PROGRAM

We have a program to raise capital through private placement offerings by selling beneficial interests (the “DST(“DST Interests”) in specific Delaware statutory trusts holding real properties (the “DST Program”). Under the DST Program, each private placement offers interests in one or more real properties placed into one or more Delaware statutory trusts by the Operating Partnership or its affiliates (“DST Properties”).

In order to facilitate additional capital raise through the DST Program, we have made and may continue to offer loans (“DST Program Loans”) to finance a portion of the sale of DST Interests in the trusts holding DST Properties to potential investors. As of June 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, there were approximately $86.7$95.9 million and $62.1$81.9 million, respectively, of outstanding DST Program Loans that we have made to partially finance the sale of DST Interests. We include our investments in DST Program Loans separately on our condensed consolidated balance sheets in the DST Program Loans line item and we include income earned from DST Program Loans in other income on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Additionally, during the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2022, and 2021, 4.8 million partnership units (“OP Units”) in our operating partnership, AREIT Operating Partnership LP (the “Operating Partnership”) and 3.4 million OP Units, respectively were issued in exchange for DST Interests, for a net investment of $39.4 million and $25.9 million, respectively, in accordance with our Umbrella Partnership Real Estate Investment Trust (“UPREIT”) structure. There have been no OP Units issued in accordance with our UPREIT structure during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

7. FAIR VALUE

We estimate the fair value of our financial instruments using available market information and valuation methodologies we believe to be appropriate for these purposes. Considerable judgment and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these estimates and, accordingly, they are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that we would realize upon disposition.disposition of our financial instruments.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Derivative Instruments. The derivative instruments are interest rate swaps and interest rate caps whose fair value is estimated using market-standard valuation models. Such models involve using market-based observable inputs, including interest rate curves. We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our nonperformance risk and respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements, which we have concluded are not material to the valuation. Due to these derivative instruments being unique and not actively traded, the fair value is classified as Level 2. See Item 3 below“Note 5” above for further discussion of our derivative instruments.

1516

Table of Contentscontents

Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. The available-for-sale debt securities are debt securities primarily collateralized by mortgages on commercial real estate properties whose fair value is estimated using third-party broker quotes, which provide valuation estimates based upon contractual cash flows, observable inputs comprising credit spreads and market liquidity. We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements, which we have concluded are not material to the valuation. Due to the available-for-sale debt securities being unique and not actively traded, the fair value is classified as Level 2.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

As of June 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, tenant receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses and distributions payable approximate their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The table below includes fair values for certain of our financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The carrying values and fair values of these financial instruments were as follows:

8. EQUITY

Public Offerings

We intend to conduct a continuous public offering that will not have a predetermined duration, subject to continued compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and applicable state laws. On May 3, 2022, the SEC declared our registration statement on Form S-11 with respect to our fourth public offering of up to $10.0 billion of shares of its common stock effective, and the fourth public offering commenced the same day. We ceased selling shares of our common stock under our third public offering of up to $3.0 billion of shares immediately upon the effectiveness of the registration statement for the fourth public offering. Under the fourth public offering, we are offering up to $8.5 billion of shares of our common stock in the primary offering and up to $1.5 billion of shares of our common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, in any combination of Class T shares, Class D shares, Class S shares and Class I shares. We may reallocate amounts between the primary offering and distribution reinvestment plan.

Pursuant to our public offerings, we offered and continue to offer shares of our common stock at the “transaction price,” plus applicable upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees. The “transaction price” generally is equal to the net asset value (“NAV”) per share of our common stock most recently disclosed. Our NAV per share is calculated as of the last calendar day of each month for each of our outstanding classes of stock, and will be available generally within 15 calendar days after the end of the applicable month. Shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan are offered at the transaction price, as indicated above, in effect on the distribution date. We may update a previously disclosed transaction price in cases where we believe there has been a material change (positive or negative) to our NAV per share relative to the most recently disclosed monthly NAV per share.

During the sixthree months ended June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we raised gross proceeds of approximately $244.5$47.7 million from the sale of approximately 28.85.4 million shares of our common stock in our ongoing public offerings, including proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan of approximately $13.9$8.0 million.

The Operating Partnership’s net income and loss will generally be allocated to the general partner and the limited partners in accordance with the respective percentage interest in the OP Units issued by the Operating Partnership.

Table of Contents

The Operating Partnership issued OP Units to the Advisor and Former Sponsor as payment of the performance participation allocation (also referred to as the performance component of the advisory fee) pursuant to the amended and restated advisory agreement, by and among the Company, the Operating Partnership and our Advisor.agreement. The Advisor and Former Sponsor subsequently transferred these OP Units to its members or their affiliates or redeemed for cash. We have classified these OP Units as redeemable noncontrolling interests in mezzanine equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets due to the fact that, as provided in the agreement of limited partnership of the Operating Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”), the limited partners who hold these OP Units have the ability to tender the OP Units at any time irrespective of the period that they have held such OP Units, and the Operating Partnership is required to satisfy such redemption for cash unless such cash redemption would be prohibited by applicable law or the Partnership Agreement, in which case such OP Units will be redeemed for shares of the Company’s common stock of the class corresponding to the class of such OP Units.sheets. The redeemable noncontrolling interests are recorded at the greater of the carrying amount, adjusted for its share of the allocation of income or loss and dividends, or the redemption value, which is equivalent to fair value, of such OP Units at the end of each measurement period. As of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had 2.0 million redeemable OP Units outstanding.

The following table summarizes the redeemable noncontrolling interests activity for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and 2021:2022:

(1)There were no OP Units issued related to the 2022 performance participation allocation, as the $23.7 million payable as of December 31, 2022 was, at the election of the Advisor, settled in cash in January 2023. The 2021 performance participation allocation in the amount of $15.3 million became payable on December 31, 2021, and was issued as 1.9 million Class I OP Units in January 2022. At the direction of the Advisor and in light of our Former Sponsor having been the holder of a separate series of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership with special distribution rights (the “Special Units”) for the first six months of 2021, the holder of the Special Units designated 465,000 of these Class I OP Units to an entity owned indirectly by our Chairman at the time, Mr. Mulvihill, and 465,000 of these Class I OP Units to an entity owned indirectly by a member of our Former Sponsor. The holder of the Special Units transferred 945,000 Class I OP Units to the Advisor thereafter. The 2020 performance participation allocation in the amount of $4.6 million became payable to the Former Sponsor, as the former holder of the Special Units, on December 31, 2020. At the Former Advisor’s election, it was paid in the form of Class I OP Units valued at $4.6 million (based on the NAV per unit as of December 31, 2020), which were issued to the Former Sponsor in January 2021 and subsequently transferred to its members or their affiliates.
(2)At the request of the Advisor, the Operating Partnership redeemed all Class I OP Units issued to the Advisor in January 2022 for $7.7 million.

Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, the holders of OP Units may redeem all or a portion of their OP Units for either: shares of the equivalent class of common stock, cash or a combination of both. If we elect to redeem OP Units for shares of our common stock, we will generally deliver one share of our common stock for each such OP Unit redeemed (subject to any redemption fees withheld), and such shares may, subsequently, only be redeemed for cash in accordance with the terms of our share redemption program. If we elect to redeem OP Units for cash, the cash delivered per unit will equal the then-current NAV per unit of the applicable class of OP Units (subject to any redemption fees withheld), which will equal the then-current NAV per share of our corresponding class of shares. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the aggregate amount of OP Units redeemed was $10.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The estimated maximum redemption value (unaudited) as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $468.4 million and $488.3 million, respectively.

Table of contents

(4)Other expense reimbursements include certain expenses incurred for organization and offering, acquisition and general administrative services provided to us under the advisory agreement, including, but not limited to, certain expenses described below after this footnote 6, allocated rent paid to both third parties and affiliates of our Advisor, equipment, utilities, insurance, travel and entertainment.
(4)(5)Includes costs reimbursed to the Advisor related to the DST Program.
(5)(6)The cost of the property management fee, including the property accounting fee, is generally borne by the tenant or tenants at each real property, either via a direct reimbursement to us or, in the case of tenants subject to a gross lease, as part of the lease cost. In certain circumstances, we may pay for a portion of the property management fee, including the property accounting fee, without reimbursement from the tenant or tenants at a real property.

Certain of the expense reimbursements described in the table above include a portion of the compensation expenses of officers and employees of the Advisor or its affiliates related to activities for which the Advisor did not otherwise receive a separate fee. Amounts incurred related to these compensation expenses for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2023, and 2022 and 2021 were approximately $2.9$2.8 million and $2.2$2.4 million, respectively. Amounts incurred related to these compensation expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021 were approximately $5.4 million and $4.7 million, respectively No reimbursement is made for compensation of our named executive officers unless the named executive officer is providing stockholder services, as outlined in the advisory agreement.

Property-Level Accounting Services. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement (2022) effective as of May 1, 2022, we have agreed to pay the Advisor a property accounting fee in connection with providing services related to accounting for real property operations, including the maintenance of the real property’s books and records in accordance with GAAP and our policies, procedures, and internal controls, in a timely manner, and the processing of real property-related cash receipts and disbursements. The property accounting fee is equal to the difference between: (i) the property management fee charged with respect to each real property, which reflects the market rate for all real property management services, including property-level accounting services, based on rates charged for similar properties within the region or market in which the real property is located, and (ii) the amount paid to third-party property management firms for property management services, which fee is based on an arm’s length negotiation with a third party property management service provider (the difference between (i) and (ii), the “property accounting fee”).

Performance Participation Allocation

As used below, “Fund Interests” means our outstanding shares of common stock, along with OP Units, which may be or were held directly or indirectly by the Advisor, the Former Sponsor, members or affiliates of the Former Sponsor, and third parties.

20

Table of Contents

The performance participation allocation is a performance-based amount that will be paid to the Advisor. This amount is calculated on the basis of the overall investment return provided to holders of Fund Interests (i.e., our outstanding shares and OP Units held by third-party investors) in any calendar year such that the Advisor will receive the lesser of (1) 12.5% of (a) the annual total return amount less (b) any loss carryforward, and (2) the amount equal to (x) the annual total return amount, less (y) any loss carryforward, less (z) the amount needed to achieve an annual total return amount equal to 5% of the NAV per Fund Interest at the beginning of such year (the “Hurdle Amount”). The foregoing calculations are calculated on a per Fund Interest basis and multiplied by the weighted-average Fund Interests outstanding during the year. In no event will the performance participation allocation be less than zero. Accordingly, if the annual total return amount exceeds the Hurdle Amount plus the amount of any loss carryforward, then the Advisor will earn a performance participation allocation equal to 100% of such excess, but limited to 12.5% of the annual total return amount that is in excess of the loss carryforward. Additionally, the Advisor will provide us with a waiver of a portion of its fees generally equal to the amount of the performance component that would have been payable with respect to the Class E shares and the Series 1 Class E OP Units held by third parties until the NAV of such shares or units exceeds $10.00 a share or unit, the benefit of which will be shared among all holders of Fund Interests.

The allocation of the performance participation interest is ultimately determined at the end of each calendar year and will be paid in Class I OP units or cash, at the election of the Advisor. The performance hurdle was not achieved as of March 31, 2023, therefore no performance participation allocation expense was recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023. As the performance hurdle was achieved as of both June 30,March 31, 2022, and 2021, we recognized approximately $6.2$12.2 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $18.4 million and $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, of performance participation allocation expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

13.14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

We and the Operating Partnership are not presently involved in any material litigation nor, to our knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against us or our investments.

Environmental Matters

A majority of the properties we acquire arehave been or will be subject to environmental reviews either by us or the previous owners. In addition, we may incur environmental remediation costs associated with certain land parcels we may acquire in connection with the development of the land. We have acquired or may in the future acquire certain properties in urban and industrial areas that may have been leased to or previously owned by commercial and industrial companies that discharged hazardous materials. We may purchase various environmental insurance policies to mitigate our exposure to environmental liabilities. We are not aware of any environmental liabilities that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations as of June 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

14.15. SEGMENT FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Our 4four reportable segments are office, retail, residential and industrial. Factors used to determine our reportable segments include the physical and economic characteristics of our properties and the related operating activities. Our chief operating decision makers rely on net operating income, among other factors, to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing segment performance. Net operating income is the key performance metric that captures the unique operating characteristics of each segment. Net investment in real estate properties, restricted cash, tenant receivables, straight-line rent receivables and other assets directly assignable to a property are allocated to the segment groupings. Corporate items that are not directly assignable to a property, such as investmentinvestments in unconsolidated joint venture partnerships, investments in real estate-related securities, debt-related investments and DST Program Loans, are not allocated to segment groupings, but are reflected as reconciling items.

The following table reflects our total consolidated assets by business segment as of June 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021:2022:

We consider net operating income to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure and believe net operating income provides useful information to our investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because net operating income reflects the operating performance of our properties and excludes certain items that are not considered to be controllable in connection with the management of the properties, such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, advisory fees, impairment charges, interest expense, gains on sale of properties, other income and expense, gains and losses on the extinguishment of debt and noncontrolling interests. However, net operating income should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance since it excludes such items, which could materially impact our results of operations. Further, our net operating income may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating net operating income. Therefore, we believe net income, as defined by GAAP, to be the most appropriate measure to evaluate our overall financial performance.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

References to the terms “we,” “our” or “us” refer to Ares Real Estate Income Trust Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The following discussion and analysis should be read together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes certain statements that may be deemed to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the “Securities Act,” and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the “Exchange Act.” Such forward-looking statements relate to, without limitation, our future capital expenditures, distributions, acquisitions and dispositions (including the amount and nature thereof), other developments and trends of the real estate industry, business strategies and the expansion and growth of our operations. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by the use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” “project,” “continue,” or the negative of these words, or other similar words or terms. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

the impact of macroeconomic trends, such as the unemployment rate, availability of credit, impact of inflation, rising interest rates, the conflict in Ukraine and the COVID-19 pandemic, which may have a negative effect on the following, among other things:
the fundamentals of our business, including overall market occupancy, space utilization for our tenants, who we refer to as customers from time-to-time herein, and rental rates;
the financial condition of our customers, some of which are retail, financial, legal and other professional firms, our lenders, and institutions that hold our cash balances and short-term investments, which may expose us to increased risks of breach or default by these parties;
customers’ ability to pay rent on their leases or our ability to re-lease space that is or becomes vacant; and
the value of our real estate assets, which may limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices or obtain or maintain debt financing secured by our properties or on an unsecured basis;
general risks affecting the real estate industry (including, without limitation, the inability to enter into or renew leases, dependence on customers’ financial condition and competition from other developers, owners and operators of real estate);
our ability to effectively raise and deploy proceeds from our ongoing public offerings;
risks associated with the demand for liquidity under our share redemption program and our ability to meet such demand;
risks associated with the availability and terms of debt and equity financing and the use of debt to fund acquisitions and developments, including the risk associated with interest rates impacting the cost and/or availability of financing;
the business opportunities that may be presented to and pursued by us, changes in laws or regulations (including changes to laws governing the taxation of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”));
the failure to successfully integrate Black Creek Group into the business, operations and corporate culture of Ares, and to retain Black Creek Group personnel following Ares’ acquisition of Black Creek Group’s U.S. real estate investment advisory and distribution business in July 2021;
conflicts of interest arising out of our relationships with the Sponsor, the Advisor and their affiliates;
changes in accounting principles, policies and guidelines applicable to REITs;
environmental, regulatory and/or safety requirements; and
the availability and cost of comprehensive insurance, including coverage for terrorist acts.

For further discussion of these and other factors, see Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our 2021 Form 10-K. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of future events, new information or otherwise.

OVERVIEW

General

Ares Real Estate Income Trust Inc. is a NAV-based perpetual life REIT that was formed on April 11, 2005, as a Maryland corporation. We are primarily focused on investing in and operating a diverse portfolio of real property. As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, our consolidated real property portfolio consisted of 9091 properties, totaling approximately 18.518.6 million square feet located in 33 markets throughout the U.S. We also owned 115159 properties through our unconsolidated joint venture partnerships as of June 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. Unless otherwise noted, these unconsolidated properties are excluded from the presentation of our portfolio data herein.

We have operated and elected to be treated as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2006, and we intend to continue to operate in accordance with the requirements for qualification as a REIT. We utilize an UPREIT organizational structure to hold all or substantially all of our assets through the Operating Partnership.

As a NAV-based perpetual life REIT, we intend to conduct ongoing public primary offerings of our common stock on a perpetual basis. We also intend to conduct an ongoing distribution reinvestment plan offering for our stockholders to reinvest distributions in our shares. From time to time, we intend to file new registration statements on Form S-11 with the SEC to register additional shares of common stock so that we may continuously offer shares of common stock pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. During the sixthree months ended June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we raised $230.6 million of gross proceeds of approximately $47.7 million from the sale of approximately 5.4 million shares of our common stock in our ongoing public primary offerings, and $13.9 millionincluding proceeds from the sale of common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan.plan of approximately $8.0 million. See “Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for more information about our public offerings.

Additionally, we have a program to raise capital through private placement offerings by selling DST Interests. These private placement offerings are exempt from registration requirements pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. We anticipate that these interests may serve as replacement properties for investors seeking to complete like-kind exchange transactions under Section 1031 of the Code. Similar to our prior private placement offerings, we expect that the DST Program will give us the opportunity to expand and diversify our capital raise strategies by offering what we believe to be an attractive and unique investment product for investors that may be seeking replacement properties to complete like-kind exchange transactions under Section 1031 of the Code. We also offer DST Program Loans to finance a portionno more than 50% of the salepurchase price of the DST Interests to certain purchasers of the interests in the Delaware statutory trusts to finance no more than 50% of the purchase price payable upon their acquisition of such interests.trusts. During the sixthree months ended June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we sold $442.7$101.8 million of gross interests related to the DST Program, $28.0$14.0 million of which were financed by DST Program Loans. See “Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional detail regarding the DST Program.

We currently operate in four reportable segments: office, retail, residential and industrial. The following table summarizes our real property portfolio by segment as of June 30, 2022:March 31, 2023:

We currently focus our investment activities primarily across the major U.S. property sectors (industrial, residential (which includes and/or may include multi-family and other types of rental housing such as manufactured, student and single familysingle-family rental housing), office (which includes and/or may include medical office and life science laboratories) and retail). To a lesser extent, we strategically

invest in and/or intend to invest in geographies outside of the U.S., which may include Canada, the United Kingdom, Europe and other foreign jurisdictions, and in other sectors such as triple net lease, real estate debt (which may include mortgages and subordinated interests) and, real estate-related securities, properties in sectors adjacent to our primary investment sectors and/or infrastructure, to create a diversified blend of current income and long-term value appreciation. Our near-term investment strategy is likely to prioritize new investments in the industrial and residential sectors due to relatively attractive fundamental conditions. We also intend to continue to hold an allocation of properties in the office and retail sectors, the latter of which is largely grocery-anchored.

Net Asset Value

Our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, 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. With the approval of our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, we have engaged Altus Group U.S. Inc., a third-party valuation firm, to serve as our independent valuation advisor (“Altus Group” or the “Independent Valuation Advisor”) with respect to helping us administer the valuation and review process for the real properties in our portfolio, providing monthly real property appraisals, reviewing annual third-party real property appraisals, providing monthly valuations of our debt-related assets (excluding DST Program Loans), reviewing the internal valuations of DST Program Loans and debt-related liabilities performed by our Advisor, providing quarterly valuations of our properties subject to master lease obligations associated with the DST Program, and assisting in the development and review of our valuation procedures. As part of this process, our Advisor reviews the estimates of the values of our real property portfolio, real estate-related assets, and other assets and liabilities within our portfolio for consistency with our valuation guidelines and the overall reasonableness of the valuation conclusions, and informs our board of directors of its conclusions. Although third-party appraisal firms, the Independent Valuation Advisor, or other pricing sources may consider any comments received from us or our Advisor or other valuation sources for their individual valuations, the final estimated fair values of our real properties are determined by the Independent Valuation Advisor and the final estimates of fair values of our real estate-related assets, our other assets, and our liabilities are determined by the applicable pricing source (which may, in certain instances be our Advisor or an affiliate of Ares), subject to the oversight of our board of directors. With respect to the valuation of our real properties, the Independent Valuation Advisor provides our board of directors with periodic valuation reports and is available to meet with our board of directors to review valuation information, as well as our valuation guidelines and the operation and results of the valuation and review process generally. Excluding real properties that are bought or sold during a given calendar year, unconsolidated real properties held through joint ventures or partnerships are valued by a third-party appraiser at least once per calendar year. For valuations during interim periods, either our Advisor will determine the estimated fair value of the real properties owned by unconsolidated affiliates or we will utilize interim valuations determined pursuant to valuation policies and procedures for such joint ventures or partnerships. All parties engaged by us in connection with our valuation procedures, including the Independent Valuation Advisor, ALPS Fund Services Inc. (“ALPS”), and our Advisor, are subject to the oversight of our board of directors. Our board of directors has the right to engage additional valuation firms and pricing sources to review the valuation process or valuations, if deemed appropriate. At least once each calendar year our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, reviews the appropriateness of our valuation procedures with input from the Independent Valuation Advisor. From time to time our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, may adopt changes to the valuation procedures if it: (1) determines that such changes are likely to result in a more accurate reflection of NAV or a more efficient or less costly procedure for the determination of NAV without having a material adverse effect on the accuracy of such determination; or (2) otherwise reasonably believes a change is appropriate for the determination of NAV. We will publicly announce material changes to our valuation procedures. See Exhibit 4.4 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a more detailed description of our valuation procedures,, including important disclosure regarding real property valuations provided by the Independent Valuation Advisor.

Our valuation procedures, which address specifically each category of our assets and liabilities and are applied separately from the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, involve adjustments from historical cost. There are certain factors which cause NAV to be different from total equity or stockholders’ equity on a GAAP basis. Most significantly, the valuation of our real assets, which is the largest component of our NAV calculation, is provided to us by the Independent Valuation Advisor. For GAAP purposes, these assets are generally recorded at depreciated or amortized cost. Another example that will cause our NAV to differ from our GAAP total equity or stockholders’ equity is the straight-lining of rent, which results in a receivable for GAAP purposes that is not included in the determination of our NAV. The fair values of our assets and certain liabilities are determined using widely accepted methodologies and, as appropriate, the GAAP principles within the FASB Accounting Standards Codification under

Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and are used by ALPS in calculating our NAV per share. However, our valuation procedures and our NAV are not subject to GAAP and will not be subject to independent audit. We did not develop our valuation procedures with the intention of complying with fair value concepts under GAAP and, therefore, there could be differences between our fair values and the fair values derived from the principal market or most advantageous market concepts of establishing fair value under GAAP. The aggregate real property valuation of $4.61$4.57 billion compares to a GAAP basis of real properties (net of intangible lease liabilities and before accumulated amortization and depreciation) of $4.09$4.11 billion, representing a difference of approximately $518.2$459.3 million, or 12.7%11.2%.

Under GAAP, we record liabilities for ongoing distribution fees that (i) we currently owe the Dealer Manager under the terms of our dealer manager agreement and (ii) we estimate we may pay to the Dealer Manager in future periods for our Fund Interests. As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we estimated approximately $46.0$59.1 million of ongoing distribution fees were potentially payable to the Dealer Manager. We do not deduct the liability for estimated future distribution fees in our calculation of NAV since we intend for our NAV

Table of contents

to reflect our estimated value on the date that we determine our NAV. Accordingly, our estimated NAV at any given time does not include consideration of any estimated future distribution fees that may become payable after such date.

Financing obligations associated with our DST Program, as reflected in our NAV table above, represent outstanding proceeds raised from our private placements under the DST Program due to the fact that we have an option (which may or may not be exercised) to purchase the interests in the Delaware statutory trusts and thereby acquire the real property owned by the trusts. We may acquire these properties using OP Units, cash, or a combination of both. See “Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional details regarding our DST Program. We may use proceeds raised from our DST Program for the repayment of debt, acquisition of properties and other investments, distributions to our stockholders, payments under our debt obligations and master lease agreements related to properties in our DST Program, redemption payments, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. We pay our Advisor an annual, fixed component of our advisory fee of 1.10% of the consideration received for selling interests in DST Properties to third-party investors, net of upfront fees and expense reimbursements payable out of gross proceeds from the sale of such interests and DST Interests financed through DST Program Loans.

We include no discounts to our NAV for the illiquid nature of our shares, including the limitations on our stockholders’ ability to redeem shares under our share redemption program and our ability to modify or suspend our share redemption program at any time. Our NAV generally does not considerreflect the potential impact of exit costs (e.g. selling costs and commissions related to the sale of a property) that would likely be incurred if our assets and liabilities were liquidated or sold today. While we may use market pricing concepts to value individual components of our NAV, our per share NAV is not derived from the market pricing information of open-end real estate funds listed on stock exchanges.

Our NAV is not a representation, warranty or guarantee that: (i) we would fully realize our NAV upon a sale of our assets; (ii) shares of our common stock would trade at our per share NAV on a national securities exchange; and (iii) a stockholder would be able to realize the per share NAV if such stockholder attempted to sell his or her shares to a third party.

From September 30, 2017 through November 30, 2019, we valued our debt-related investments and real estate-related liabilities generally in accordance with fair value standards under GAAP. Beginning with our valuation for December 31, 2019, our property-level mortgages and corporate-level credit facilities that are intended to be held to maturity (which for fixed rate debt not subject to interest rate hedges may be the date near maturity at which time the debt will be eligible for prepayment at par for purposes herein), including those subject to interest rate hedges, were valued at par (i.e. at their respective outstanding balances). In addition, because we 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, each loan and associated interest rate hedge is treated as one

30

Table of contents

financial instrument which is valued at par if intended to be held to maturity. This policy of valuing at par applies regardless of whether any given interest rate hedge is considered as an asset or liability for GAAP purposes. Notwithstanding, if we acquire an investment and assume associated in-place debt from the seller that is above-or below-market, then consistent with how we recognize assumed debt for GAAP purposes when acquiring an asset with pre-existing debt in place, the liabilities used in the determination of our NAV will include the market value of such debt based on market value as of the closing date. The associated premium or discount on such debt as of closing that is reflected in our liabilities will then be amortized through loan maturity. Per our valuation policy, the corresponding investment is valued on an unlevered basis for purposes of determining NAV. Accordingly, all else equal, we would not recognize an immediate gain or loss to our NAV upon acquisition of an investment whereby we assume associated pre-existing debt that is above- or below-market. As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we classified all of our debt as intended to be held to maturity, and our liabilities included mark-to-market adjustments for pre-existing debt that we assumed upon acquisition. We currently estimate the fair value of our debt (inclusive of associated interest rate hedges) that was intended to be held to maturity as of June 30, 2022March 31, 2023 was $52.4$61.5 million lower than the carrying value used for purposes of calculating our NAV (as described above) for such debt in aggregate; meaning that if we used the fair value of our debt rather than the carrying value used for purposes of calculating our NAV (and treated the associated hedge as part of the same financial instrument), our NAV would have been higher by approximately $52.4$61.5 million, or $0.23$0.24 per share, not taking into account all of the other items that impact our monthly NAV, as of June 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

Under GAAP, we accrued the full cost of the distribution fee payable over the life of each share (assuming such share remains outstanding the length of time required to pay the maximum distribution fee) as an offering cost at the time we sold the Class T, Class S, and Class D shares. Similarly, we accrued a liability for future distribution fees we expect will be paid for our estimate of how long Class T, Class S, and Class D OP Units will be outstanding, also as an offering cost. For purposes of calculating the NAV, we recognize the distribution fee as a reduction of NAV on a monthly basis when such fee is paid and do not deduct the liability for estimated future distribution fees that may become payable after the date as of which our NAV is calculated.

The increasedecrease in NAV was primarily driven by performanceexpansion in the capital market assumptions that are a major factor used in the valuation of our real estate portfolio, including the dispositions of one office property, five retail properties, and a retail land parcel for net proceeds of approximately $251.8 million, which resulted in an increase to NAV, as well as the acquisitions of 21 industrial properties, seven residential properties, and one life science property for an aggregate contractual purchase price of $1.2 billion, which have been accretive to portfolio returns.

Effective December 31, 2019, our board of directors approved amendments to our valuation procedures which revised the way we value property-level mortgages, corporate-level credit facilities and associated interest rate hedges when loans, including associated interest rate hedges, are intended to be held to maturity, effectively eliminating all mark-to-market adjustments for such loans and hedges from the calculation of our NAV.

(1)Performance is measured by total return, which includes income and appreciation (i.e., distributions and changes in NAV) and is a compound rate of return that assumes reinvestment of all distributions for the respective time period, and excludes upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees paid by investors, except for returns noted “with upfront selling commissions and dealer

manager fees” (“Total Return”). Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.
(2)NAV inception was September 30, 2012, which is when we first sold shares of our common stock after converting to an NAV-based REIT on July 12, 2012. Investors in our fixed price offerings prior to NAV inception on September 30, 2012 are likely to have a lower return.

Table of Contents

(3)The Total Returns presented are based on actual NAVs at which stockholders transacted, calculated pursuant to our valuation procedures. From NAV inception to November 30, 2019, these NAVs reflected mark-to-market adjustments on our borrowing-related interest rate hedge positions; and from September 1, 2017 to November 30, 2019, these NAVs also reflected mark-to-market adjustments on our borrowing-related debt instruments. Prior to September 1, 2017, our valuation policies dictated marking borrowing-related debt instruments to par except in certain circumstances; therefore, we did not formally track mark-to-market adjustments on our borrowing-related debt instruments during such time.
(4)The Adjusted Total Returns presented are based on adjusted NAVs calculated as if we had continued to mark our hedge and debt instruments to market following a policy change to largely exclude borrowing-related interest rate hedge and debt marks to market from our NAV calculations (except in certain circumstances pursuant to our valuation procedures), beginning with our NAV calculated as of December 31, 2019 NAV. Therefore, the NAVs used in the calculation are identical to those presented per Note (3) above from NAV inception through November 30, 2019. The adjusted NAVs include the incremental impacts to advisory fees and performance fees; however, the adjusted NAVs are not assumed to have impacted any share purchase or redemption. For calculation purposes, transactions were assumed to occur at the adjusted NAVs.

Inflation and Rising Interest RatesTrends Affecting Our Business

In the United States, inflation is atOur results of operations are affected by a 40-year high, and its impact onvariety of factors, including conditions in both the U.S. economyand global financial markets and the impact of any measures that mayeconomic and political environments.

The commercial real estate markets continued to be takenimpacted by government officials to curbthe challenging macroeconomic environment, including continued high inflation remain uncertain. Beginning in March of 2022, the United States Federal Reserve began raising the federal funds rate in an effort to curb inflation. As a result,and interest rates and costsgeopolitical uncertainty. In addition, during the first quarter of borrowing have risen dramatically. The Federal Reserve’s action, coupled with other macroeconomic factors, may trigger a recession2023, several financial institutions in the United States, globally, or both. In addition, periodsU.S. and abroad sustained liquidity problems resulting in further volatility in the financial markets and concerns with respect to liquidity, in particular across regional banks. Given the current macroeconomic environment, property valuations adjusted downwards, with capitalization rate compressions waning and yields widening. Periods of excessive or prolonged inflation and rising interest rates may negatively impact our customers’ businesses, resulting in increased vacancy, concessions or bad debt expense, which may adversely and materially affect our net operating income and NAV. These factors

We believe some of these market trends may also impactbe offset by the continued strong fundamentals of real estate. We believe our customers’ ability to pay contractualportfolio is well-positioned for this market environment. Real estate market fundamentals remain favorable, supported by strong rent or where applicable expense reimbursements, requiring us to absorb a larger share of operating expenses. In combination with a potential U.S. and/or global recession, we may also experience a slowdowngrowth, low vacancy rates and demand generally outpacing supply in certain sectors like multifamily and industrial. However, there is no guarantee that our outlook will remain positive for the long-term, especially if leasing fundamentals weaken in the rate of increase in rental rates or a decrease in rental rates over time, which may adversely and materially affect our net operating income and NAV. In addition, rising interest rates may have other detrimental effects on our business. For example, rising interest rates could restrict our liquidity based on certain financial covenant requirements as well as our inability to refinance maturing debt in part or in full as it comes due depending on rates at such time. A rise in interest rates could also increase capitalization rates and make alternative interest bearing and other investments more attractive and, therefore, potentially lower the relative value of our existing real estate investments and our NAV. Finally, the combined impact of increased interest rates and a potential recession could cause prospective investors to become reluctant to purchase our shares or existing investors to redeem their shares, thus curtailing our ability to purchase new accretive, real estate investments that satisfy our investment criteria. We continue to monitor the uncertainty surrounding inflation and rising interest rates and the impact that these factors may have on the U.S. economy and on our business.future.

Conflict in Ukraine

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has increased the disruption, instability and volatility in global markets and industries. We do not have any investments in Russia, Belarus or Ukraine. Therefore, to date, we have not been materially impacted by the actions of the Russian government. Market disruptions in a single country could cause a worsening of conditions on a regional and even global level, as economic problems in a single country can significantly impact other markets and economies. While the direct impact on us of Russia's invasion of Ukraine is limited, we are being affected by increases in the price of oil as a result of sanctions on Russia, which contributes to overall inflation and increased costs. The ongoing conflict could cause increased volatility in the economies and financial markets of countries throughout the region, or even globally. We continue to monitor the uncertainty surrounding the extent and duration of this ongoing conflict and the impact that it may have on the global economy and on our business.

Impacts of COVID-19

With respect to COVID-19, we are continuing to assess impacts to our portfolio and commercial real estate more broadly. Our properties have not experienced the same level of stress and valuation declines seen within harder hit sectors in which we are not invested such as hospitality, gaming, senior housing or shopping malls, nor do we have any investments in real estate securities which have experienced significant volatility. As of June 30, 2022, contractual rent collections are consistent with average annual collections prior to the pandemic. In addition, we are pleased to report that our retail portfolio as a whole has remained stable, and many of our customers are successfully supplementing their in-store sales with e-commerce and curbside pick-up.

We remain an active buyer of institutional quality, income-producing and defensive real estate, particularly within the industrial and residential sectors which we believe should provide increased appreciation potential for the fund over time and complement our retail and office investment allocations that provide for higher income potential. Accordingly, during the six months ended June 30, 2022,

we directly acquired 21 industrial properties, seven residential properties, and one office property, specifically a life science property, in 2022 for an aggregate contractual purchase price of $1.2 billion.

Rental Revenues. Rental revenues are comprised of rental income, straight-line rent, and amortization of above- and below-market lease assets and liabilities. Total rental revenues increased by $1.7 million and $15.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively, primarily due to the increase in non-same store revenues resulting from significant growth in our portfolio and increased recovery revenue at certain properties during the first quarter of 2023. See “Same Store Portfolio Results of Operations” below for further details of the same store revenues.

Rental Expenses. Rental expenses include certain property operating expenses typically reimbursed by our customers, such as real estate taxes, property insurance, property management fees, repair and maintenance and include certain non-recoverable expenses, such as consulting services and roof repairs. Total rental expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased by $1.3 million as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022 primarily due to (i) decreased repairs and maintenance expense across our portfolio, in aggregate; and (ii) decreased bad debt expense at certain properties. Total rental expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by $7.0 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily due to (i) an increase in non-same store rental expenses as a result of our acquisition activity since January 1, 2022, which was partially offset by our disposition activity since January 1, 2022; and six(ii) increased real estate tax expense across our portfolio, in aggregate. See “Same Store Portfolio Results of Operations” below for further details of the same store expenses.

All Remaining Income and Expenses. In aggregate, the remaining income and expenses decreased by $32.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, as compared to the sixthree months ended June 30, 2021. December 31, 2022, primarily due to the following:

an increase in gain on sale of real estate property of $36.9 million related to the sale of one partial retail property in 2023.

Partially offset by:

an increase in provision for current expected credit loss of $5.6 million related to our debt-related investments.

In aggregate, the remaining income and expenses increased $35.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to the following:

a decrease in gain on sale of real estate property of $17.0 million driven by fewer disposition activity in 2023;
an increase in interest expense of $13.1 million driven primarily by higher interest expense on financing obligations associated with an increase in the sale of interests related to our DST Program and higher interest expense on certain variable interest rate debt;
an increase in real estate-related depreciation and amortization of $5.7 million driven by our net acquisition activity; and
an increase in provision for current expected credit loss of $5.6 million related to our debt-related investments.

Partially offset by:

a decrease in performance participation allocation of $12.2 million as the requisite performance hurdle was met in 2022 and performance participation allocation expense was then recognized, while the performance hurdle was not met in 2023 and no performance participation allocation expense was recognized; and
an increase in debt-related income of $2.3 million related to our additional debt-related investments.

Same Store Portfolio Results of Operations

Net operating income (“NOI”) is a supplemental non-GAAP measure of our property operating results. We define NOI as operating revenues less operating expenses. While we believe our net income (loss), as defined by GAAP, to be the most appropriate measure to evaluate our overall performance, we consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure. We believe NOI provides useful information to our investors regarding our results of operations because NOI reflects the operating performance of our properties and excludes certain items that are not considered to be controllable in connection with the management of properties, such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, advisory fees, impairment charges, interest expense, gains on sale of properties, other income and expense, gains and losses on the extinguishment of debt and noncontrolling interests. However, NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance since it excludes such items, which could materially impact our results of operations. Further, our NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, therefore, our investors should consider net income (loss) as the primary indicator our overall financial performance.

We evaluate the performance of consolidated operating properties we own and manage using a same store analysis because the population of properties in this analysis is consistent from period to period, thereby eliminating the effects of any material changes in the composition of the aggregate portfolio on performance measures. We have defined the same store portfolio to include consolidated operating properties owned for the entirety of both the current and prior reporting periods for which the operations had been stabilized. Unconsolidated properties are excluded from the same store portfolio because we account for our interest in our joint venture partnership using the equity method of accounting; therefore, our proportionate share of income and loss is recognized in income (loss) of our unconsolidated joint venture partnership on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Other operating properties not meeting the same store criteria are reflected in the non-same store portfolio. Our same store analysis may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies and should not be considered to be more relevant or accurate in evaluating our operating performance than current GAAP methodology.

The same store operating portfolio for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022 presented below includes 89 properties totaling 18.4 million square feet owned as of October 1, 2022, which represented 98.7% of total rentable square feet as of March 31, 2023. The same store operating portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022 presented below includes 6260 properties totaling 12.8approximately 12.6 million square feet owned as of January 1, 2022, which represented 69.2%67.9% of total rentable square feet as of June 30, 2022. The same store operating portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 presented below includes 46 properties totaling approximately 9.6 million square feet owned as of January 1, 2021, which represented 51.9% of total rentable square feet as of June 30, 2022.

Other Income and Expenses. The net amount of other expenses increased by $38.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily as a result of (i) a decrease in gain from disposition of $24.2 million (ii) an increase in real estate-related depreciation and amortization of $9.5 million driven by our net acquisition activity; and (iii) an increase in interest expense of $9.4 million driven by higher interest expense on financing obligations associated with an increase in the sale of interests related to our DST Program.

The net amount of other expenses increased $16.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, primarily as a result of (i) an increase in performance participation allocation of $14.4 million driven by the increased performance of our portfolio; (ii) an increase in real estate-related depreciation and amortization of $30.4 million driven by our net acquisition activity and lease termination amortization; and (iii) an increase in interest expense of $24.6 million driven by higher interest expense on financing obligations associated with an increase in the sale of interests related to our DST Program. The increase in these expenses was partially offset by an increase in gain from dispositions of $56.2 million.

ADDITIONAL MEASURES OF PERFORMANCE

Net Income and NOI

We define NOI as GAAP rental revenues less GAAP rental expenses. We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure and believe NOI provides useful information to our investors regarding our results of operations because NOI reflects the operating performance of our properties and excludes certain items that are not considered to be controllable in connection with the management of the properties, such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, advisory fees, impairment charges, interest expense, gains on sale of properties, other income and expense, gains and losses on the extinguishment of debt and noncontrolling interests. However, NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance since it excludes such items, which could materially impact our results of operations. Further, our NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating NOI. Therefore, we believe net income (loss), as defined by GAAP, to be the most appropriate measure to evaluate our overall financial performance. Refer to “Results of Operations—Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Prior Periods” above for a reconciliation of our GAAP net income (loss) to NOI for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021.

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

We believe that FFO and AFFO, in addition to net income (loss) and cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP, are useful supplemental performance measures that our management uses to evaluate our consolidated operating performance. However, thisthese supplemental, non-GAAP measuremeasures should not be considered as an alternativealternatives to net income (loss) or to cash flows from operating activities as an indicationindications of our performance and isare not intended to be used as a liquidity measuremeasures indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. No single measure can provide users of financial information with sufficient information and only our disclosures read as a whole can be relied upon to adequately portray our financial position, liquidity and results of operations. In addition, other REITs may define FFO, AFFO and similar measures differently and choose to treat certain accounting line items in a manner different from us due to specific differences in investment and operating strategy or for other reasons.

FFO. As defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), FFO is a non-GAAP measure that excludes certain items such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization. We believe FFO is a meaningful supplemental measure of our operating performance that is useful to investors because depreciation and amortization in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. By excluding gains or losses on the sale of assets, we believe FFO provides a helpful additional measure of our consolidated operating performance on a comparative basis. We use FFO as an indication of our consolidated operating performance and as a guide to making decisions about future investments.

AFFO. AFFO further adjusts FFO to reflect the performance of our portfolio by adjusting for items we believe are not directly attributable to our operations. Our adjustments to FFO to arrive at AFFO include removing the impact of (i) our performance participation allocation, (ii) unrealized (gain) loss from changes in fair value of financial instruments and (iii) financing obligation liability appreciation (depreciation).

Although some REITs may present certain performance measures differently, we believe FFO and AFFO generally facilitate a comparison to other REITs that have similar operating characteristics to us. We believe investors are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analyses and evaluation with the same performance metrics used by management in planning and executing our business strategy. Neither the SEC, NAREIT, nor any regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments used to calculate AFFO. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT, or a regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the non-traded REIT industry at which point we may adjust our calculations and characterizations of AFFO.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

Our primary sources of capital for meeting our cash requirements include debt financings, cash generated from operating activities, net proceeds from our public and private offerings and asset sales. Our principal uses of funds are distributions to our stockholders, payments under our debt obligations and payments pursuant to the master lease agreements related to properties in our DST Program, redemption payments, acquisition of properties and other investments and capital expenditures. Over time, we intend to fund a majority of our cash needs, including the repayment of debt and capital expenditures, from operating cash flows and refinancings. As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had approximately $0.9$1.8 million of borrowings, including scheduled amortization payments, and $56.0 million of future minimum lease payments related to the properties in our DST Program coming due in the next 12 months, including scheduled amortization payments.months. We expect to be able to repay our principal and interest obligations over the next 12 months and beyond through operating cash flows, refinancings, borrowings under our line of credit, proceeds from capital raise and/or disposition proceeds. Additionally, given the increase in market volatility, increased interest rates, high inflation and the potential recessionary environment, we may experience a decreased pace of net proceeds raised from our public offering, reducing our ability to purchase assets, which may similarly delay the returns generated from our investments and affect our NAV.

Our Advisor, subject to the oversight of our board of directors and, under certain circumstances, the investment committee or other committees established by our board of directors, will evaluate potential acquisitions or dispositions and will engage in negotiations with buyers, sellers and lenders on our behalf. Pending investment in property, debt, or other investments, we may decide to temporarily invest any unused proceeds from our public offerings in certain investments that are expected to yield lower returns than those earned on real estate assets. These lower returns may affect our NAV and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. Potential future sources of capital include proceeds from secured or unsecured financings from banks or other lenders, proceeds from our public and private offerings, proceeds from the sale of assets and undistributed funds from operations.

As of June 30, 2022, contractual rent collections are consistent with average annual collections prior to the pandemic. We are pleased with these collections given the pandemic’s significant impacts on the broader economy, thus reflecting the relatively defensive nature of our assets.

As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, our financial position was strong with 36.2%31.2% leverage, calculated as outstanding principal balance of our borrowings less cash and cash equivalents divided by the fair value of our real property, net investmentinvestments in our unconsolidated joint venture partnerships, investments in real estate-related securities and debt-related investments not associated with the DST Program (determined

Net cash provided by operating activities increaseddecreased by approximately $27.8$40.2 million for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2021,2022, primarily due to growthchanges in our property operationsoperating assets and liabilities of $34.8 million as a resultcompared to the prior period due to the $23.7 million settlement of our acquisition activity over the last year.2022 performance participation allocation in cash in January 2023.

Net cash used in investing activities increaseddecreased by approximately $866.2$260.3 million for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2021,2022, primarily due to (i) an increasea decrease in real estate property acquisition activity of $1.0 billion; and (ii) investment activity related to our investment in unconsolidated joint venture partnerships for $47.9 million that we entered into in the fourth quarter of 2021. These drivers were$353.5 million. This driver was partially offset by an increasea decrease in netproceeds from disposition proceeds of $202.9real estate property of $115.7 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities increaseddecreased by approximately $847.9$208.9 million for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2021,2022, primarily due to an increasea decrease in net offering activity from our DST Program and public offering of $427.2$240.0 million and an increase in redemption activity of $29.5 million. These drivers were partially offset by an increase in net borrowing activity of $425.465.5 million.

Capital Resources and Uses of Liquidity

In addition to our cash and cash equivalents balances available, our capital resources and uses of liquidity are as follows:

Line of Credit and Term Loans. As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had an aggregate of $1.5$1.7 billion of commitments under our unsecured credit agreement, including $700.0$900.0 million under our line of credit and $800.0 million under our two term loans. As of that date, we had: (i) $383.0$277.0 million outstanding under our line of credit; and (ii) $800.0 million outstanding under our term loans. The weighted-average effective interest rate across all of our unsecured borrowings is 3.09%4.40%, which includes the effect of the interest rate swap and cap agreements related to $300.0$800.0 million in borrowings under our term loans.

As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the unused and available portions under our line of credit were $317.0$623.0 million and $316.8$565.6 million, respectively. Our $700.0$900.0 million line of credit matures in November 2025, and may be extended pursuant to two six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions, including the payment of extension fees. One $400.0 million term loan matures in November 2026, with no extension option available. Our other $400.0 million term loan matures in January 2027, with no extension option available. Our line of credit borrowings are available for general corporate purposes, including but not limited to the refinancing of other debt, payment of redemptions, acquisition and operation of permitted investments. Refer to “Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding our line of credit and term loans.

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) that regulates LIBOR announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York organized the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”), which identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its

43

Table of contents

preferred alternative rate for LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. Any changes adopted by the FCA or other governing bodies in the method used for determining LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR. If that were to occur, our interest payments could change. In addition, uncertainty about the extent and manner of future changes may result in interest rates and/or payments that are higher or lower than if LIBOR were to remain available in its current form.

LIBOR is expected to be phased out or modified by June 2023. As of June 30, 2022, our line of credit, term loans andMarch 31, 2023, certain of our mortgage notes have an initial or extended maturity dates beyond 2023 with exposure to LIBOR. The agreements governing these loans provide procedures for determining a replacement or alternative base rate in the event that LIBOR is discontinued. However, there can be no assurances as to whether such replacement or alternative base rate will be more or less favorable than LIBOR. We

39

Table of Contents

intend to monitor the developments with respect to the phasing out of LIBOR after June 2023 and work with our lenders to seek to ensure any transition away from LIBOR will have minimal impact on our financial condition, but can provide no assurances regarding the impact of the discontinuation of LIBOR.

Mortgage Notes. As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had property-level borrowings of approximately $588.4$517.7 million outstanding with a weighted-average remaining term of approximately 4.84.2 years. These borrowings are secured by mortgages or deeds of trust and related assignments and security interests in the collateralized properties, and had a weighted-average interest rate of 3.63%3.85%. Refer to “Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding the mortgage notes.

Debt Covenants. Our line of credit, term loan and mortgage note agreements contain various property-level covenants, including customary affirmative and negative covenants. In addition, our line of credit and term loan agreements contain certain corporate level financial covenants, including leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio and tangible net worth thresholds. These covenants may limit our ability to incur additional debt, or to pay distributions. We were in compliance with our debt covenants as of June 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

Leverage. We use financial leverage to provide additional funds to support our investment activities. We may finance a portion of the purchase price of any real estate asset that we acquire with borrowings on short or long-term basis from banks, life insurance companies and other lenders. We calculate our leverage for reporting purposes as the outstanding principal balance of our borrowings less cash and cash equivalents divided by the fair value of our real property, net investment in our unconsolidated joint venture partnerships and debt-related investments not associated with the DST Program (determined in accordance with our valuation procedures). We had leverage of 36.2%31.2% as of June 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. Our current leverage target is between 40-60%. Although we will generally work to maintain our targeted leverage ratio, there are no assurances that we will maintain the targeted range disclosed above or achieve any other leverage ratio that we may target in the future. Due to the increase in interest rates in 2022, increased market volatility and the potential of a global recession in the near-term, the cost of financing or refinancing our purchase of assets may affect returns generated by our investments. Additionally, these factors may cause our borrowing capacity to be reduced, which could similarly delay or reduce benefits to our stockholders.

Future Minimum Lease Payments Related to the DST Program. As of March 31, 2023, we had $1.1 billion of future minimum lease payments related to the DST Program. The underlying interests of each property that is sold to investors pursuant to the DST Program are leased back by an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership on a long-term basis of up to 29 years.

Offering Proceeds. For the sixthree months ended June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the amount of aggregate gross proceeds raised from our public offerings (including shares issued pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan) was $244.5$47.7 million ($228.845.5 million net of direct selling costs).

Distributions. To obtain the favorable tax treatment accorded to REITs, we normally will be required each year to distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our real estate investment trust taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for distributions paid and by excluding net capital gains. The payment of distributions is determined by our board of directors and may be adjusted at its discretion at any time. Distribution levels are set by our board of directors at a level it believes to be appropriate and sustainable based upon a review of a variety of factors including the current and anticipated market conditions, current and anticipated future performance and make-up of our investments, our overall financial projections and expected future cash needs. We intend to continue to make distributions on a monthly basis.

For the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, our FFO was $0.7$(3.2) million, or 3.3%(13.1)% of our total distributions, and $7.6$0.4 million, or 48.5% of our total distributions, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, our FFO was a $0.9 million loss, or 2.3% of our total distributions and $17.2 million, or 55.7%2.0% of our total distributions, respectively. FFO is a non-GAAP operating metric and should not be used as a liquidity measure. However, management believes the relationship between FFO and distributions may be meaningful for investors to better understand the sustainability of our operating performance compared to distributions made. Refer to “Additional Measures of Performance” above for the definition of FFO, as well as a detailed reconciliation of our GAAP net income (loss) to FFO.

Redemptions. Below is a summary of redemptions and repurchases pursuant to our share redemption program for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and 2021.2022. Our board of directors may modify or suspend our current share redemption programs if it deems such action to be in the best interest of our stockholders. Refer to Part II, Item 2. “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds—Share Redemption Program” for detail regarding our share redemption program.

For the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, we received and redeemed in full100% of eligible redemption requests for an aggregate amount of approximately $28.5$35.5 million and $35.4$14.6 million, respectively, which we redeemed using cash flows from operating activities in excess of our distributions paid in cash, cash on hand, proceeds from our public offerings, proceeds from the disposition of properties, and borrowings under our revolving line of credit. We generally repay funds borrowed from our revolving line of credit from a variety of sources including: cash flows from operating activities in excess of our distributions; proceeds from our public offerings; proceeds from the disposition of properties;properties and other longer-term borrowings.

We experienced aggregate positive net inflows during the first quarter ended March 31, 2023, from the proceeds of our capital raising efforts, including the sale of DST Interests in the DST Program. When measuring capital inflows for these purposes (and aggregating them for quarter-to-date purposes), proceeds from new subscriptions in a month are included on the first day of the next month because that is the first day on which such stockholders have rights in the Company. New subscriptions for DST Interests in our DST Program are included in the month in which they close. We record DST Interests as financing obligation liabilities for accounting purposes. If and when we exercise our option to reacquire a DST Property by issuing OP Units in exchange for DST Interests, we extinguish the financing obligation liability and record the issuance of the OP Units as an issuance of equity. When measuring monthly capital outflows for these purposes (and aggregating them for quarter-to-date purposes), both share and OP unit redemption requests received in a month are included on the last day of such month because that is the last day the shareholders or

unitholders, respectively, have rights in the Company. We record these redemptions in our financial statements as having occurred on the first day of the next month following receipt of the redemption request because shares redeemed in a given month are considered outstanding through the last day of the month. Although our quarterly aggregate net flows may be positive, any given month or component may be negative.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. For a detailed description of our critical accounting estimates, see Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 20212022 Form 10-K. As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, our critical accounting estimates have not changed from those described in our 20212022 Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

We have been and may continue to be exposed to the impact of interest rate changes. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows, and optimize overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we often plan to borrow on a fixed interest rate basis for longer-term debt and utilize interest rate swap and cap agreements on certain variable interest rate debt in order to limit the effects of changes in interest rates on our results of operations. As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, our debt instrumentsoutstanding consisted of borrowings under our line of credit, term loans and mortgage notes.

Fixed Interest Rate Debt. As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, our fixed interest rate debt consisted of $380.8$310.1 million under our mortgage notes and $300.0$650.0 million of borrowings under our term loans that were effectively fixed through the use of interest rate swaps. In total, our fixed interest rate debt represented 38.4%60.2% of our total consolidated debt as of June 30, 2022. When taking into account the five interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount of $350.0 million, which we entered into in June 2022 and have effective dates in July 2022, an additional $350.0 million of our borrowings under our terms loans become effectively fixed, which would bring our total fixed interest rate debt to 58.2% of our total consolidated borrowings as of June 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect our future earnings or cash flows on our fixed interest rate debt unless such instruments mature or are otherwise terminated. However, interest rate changes could affect the fair value of our fixed interest rate debt. As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the fair value and the carrying value of our consolidated fixed interest rate debt, excluding the values of any associated hedges, was $652.2$960.1 million and $680.8$930.4 million, respectively. The fair value estimate of this debt was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis utilizing rates we would expect to pay for debt of a similar type and remaining maturity if the loans were originated on June 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. Given we generally expect to hold our fixed interest rate debt instruments to maturity or when they otherwise open up for prepayment at par, and the amounts due under such debt instruments should be limited to the outstanding principal balance and any accrued and unpaid interest at such time, we do not expect that the resulting change in fair value of our fixed interest rate debt instruments due to market fluctuations in interest rates, would have a significant impact on our operating cash flows.

Variable Interest Rate Debt. As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, our consolidated variable interest rate debt consisted of $383.0$277.0 million of borrowings under our line of credit, $500.0$150.0 million of borrowings under our term loans and $207.6 million under our mortgage notes, which represented 61.6%39.8% of our total consolidated debt. When taking into account the five interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount of $350.0 million, which we entered into in June 2022 and have effective dates in July 2022, an additional $350.0 million of our borrowings under our terms loans become effectively fixed, which would lower our total variable interest rate debt to 41.8% of our total consolidated borrowings as of June 30, 2022. Interest rate changes on the variable portion of our consolidated variable-rate debt could impact our future earnings and cash flows, but would not necessarily affect the fair value of such debt. As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we were exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on $1.1 billion634.6 million of consolidated borrowings; however, $207.6$357.6 million of these borrowings isare capped through the use of twothree interest rate cap agreements and an additional $350.0 million will be effectively fixed in July 2022 through the interest rate swaps referenced above.agreements. A hypothetical 25 basis points increase in the all-in rate on the outstanding balance of our consolidated variable interest rate debt as of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $2.7$0.7 million, not taking into accountincluding the changes toeffects of our interest rate expense related to the interest rate swaps referenced above with effective dates in July 2022.cap agreements.

Derivative Instruments. As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had 1415 outstanding and effective derivative instruments, with a total notional amount of $507.6 million. In addition, we had five derivative instruments with effective dates in July 2022 and a notional amount of $350.0 million.$1.0 billion. These derivative instruments were comprised of interest rate swaps and interest rate caps that were designed to mitigate the risk of future interest rate increases by either providing a fixed interest rate or capping the variable interest rate for a limited, pre-determined period of time. See “Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for further detail on our derivative instruments. We are exposed to credit risk of the counterparty to our interest rate cap and swap agreements in the event of non-performance under the terms of the agreements. If we were not able to replace these caps or swaps in the event of non-performance by the counterparty, we would be subject to variability of the interest rate on the amount outstanding under our debt that is fixed or capped through the use of the swaps or caps, respectively.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the direction of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our 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 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes 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) during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2022March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal control over financial reporting to date as a result of many of the employees of our Advisor and its affiliates working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 pandemic on our internal controls to minimize the impact to their design and operating effectiveness.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our 20212022 Form 10-K, as supplemented by our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and/or future results. The risks described in our 20212022 Form 10-K, as supplemented by our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

With the exception of the risk factors set forth below, which updates and supplements the risk factors disclosed in our 2021 Form 10-K, thereThere have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our 20212022 Form 10-K.

Our bylaws designate the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.

Table of Contents

Our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland shall be the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders with respect to our company, our directors, our officers or our employees (we note we currently have no employees). This choice of forum provision does not apply to claims under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction or any action or proceeding against us arising out of, or in connection with, the sale of securities or out of violation of state securities laws. This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that the stockholder believes is favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees, which may discourage meritorious claims from being asserted against us and our directors, officers and employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find this provision of our bylaws inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. We adopted this provision because we believe it makes it less likely that we will be forced to incur the expense of defending duplicative actions in multiple forums and less likely that plaintiffs’ attorneys will be able to employ such litigation to coerce us into otherwise unjustified settlements, and we believe the risk of a court declining to enforce this provision is remote, as the General Assembly of Maryland has specifically amended the Maryland General Corporation Law to authorize the adoption of such provisions.

Inflation, increased interest rates or deflation may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Although neither inflation nor deflation has materially impacted our operations in the recent past, inflation is at a 40-year high and beginning in March of 2022, the Federal Reserve began raising the federal funds rate in an effort to curb inflation. The Federal Reserve’s action, coupled with other macroeconomic factors, may trigger a recession in the United States, globally, or both. Increased inflation and interest rates could have an adverse impact on our floating rate mortgages, our ability to borrow money, and general and administrative expenses, as these costs could increase at a rate higher than our rental and other revenue. Increases in the costs of owning and operating our properties due to inflation could reduce our net operating income and our NAV to the extent such increases are not reimbursed or paid by our customers. If we are materially impacted by increasing inflation because, for example, inflationary increases in costs are not sufficiently offset by the contractual rent increases and operating expense reimbursement provisions or escalations in the leases with our customers, we may implement measures to conserve cash or preserve liquidity. Such measures could include deferring investments, reducing or suspending the number of shares redeemed under our share redemption program and reducing or suspending distributions we make to our stockholders, which may adversely and materially affect our net operating income and NAV. Because our residential portfolio assets typically have lease terms of one year or less and do not have pass through expenses, these adverse impacts may be heightened for our residential properties if we are unable to increase rent and/or maintain occupancy. In addition, due to rising interest rates, we may experience restrictions in our liquidity based on certain financial covenant requirements as well as our inability to refinance maturing debt in part or in full as it comes due depending on rates at such time and experience higher debt service costs and reduced yields relative to cost of debt. If we are unable to find alternative credit arrangements or other funding in a high interest environment, our business needs may not be adequately met.

In addition, customers and potential customers of our properties may be adversely impacted by inflation and rising interest rates, which could negatively impact our customers’ ability to pay rent and demand for our properties. Such adverse impacts on our customers may cause increased vacancies, which may add pressure to lower rents and increase our expenditures for re-leasing. Inflation could also have an adverse effect on consumer spending which could impact our customers’ operations and, in turn, demand for our properties. Conversely, deflation could lead to downward pressure on rents and other sources of income.

We are dependent on our customers for revenue, and our inability to lease our properties or to collect rent from our customers will adversely affect our results of operations, NAV and returns to our stockholders.

Our revenues from our property investments are dependent on our ability to lease our properties and the creditworthiness of our customers and would be adversely affected by the loss of or default by one or more significant lessees. Furthermore, certain of our assets may utilize leases with payments directly related to customer sales, where some or all of the amount of rent that we charge a customer is calculated as a percentage of such customer’s revenues over a fixed period of time, and a reduction in sales can reduce the amount of the lease payments required to be made to us by customers leasing space in such assets. Much of our

customer base is comprised of non-rated and non-investment grade customers. The success of our properties depends on the financial stability of such customers. The financial results of our customers can depend on several factors, including but not limited to the general business environment, interest rates, inflation, the availability of credit, taxation and overall consumer confidence.

In addition, our ability to increase our revenues and operating income partially depends on steady growth of demand for the products and services offered by the customers located in the assets that we own and manage. A drop in demand, as a result of a slowdown in the U.S. and global economy or otherwise, could result in a reduction in performance of our customers and consequently, adversely affect our results of operations, NAV and returns to our stockholders.

Table of Contents

If indicators of impairment exist in any of our properties, for example, we experience negative operating trends such as prolonged vacancies or operating losses, we may not recover some or all of our investment.

Lease payment defaults by customers could impact operating results, causing us to lower our NAV, reduce the amount of distributions to our stockholders, or could force us to find an alternative source of funding to pay any mortgage loan interest or principal, taxes, or other obligations relating to the property. In the event of a customer default, we may also experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment and re-leasing our property. If a lease is terminated, the value of the property may be immediately and negatively affected and we may be unable to lease the property for the rent previously received or at all or sell the property without incurring a loss.

Some of our properties may be leased to a single or significant customer and, accordingly, may be suited to the particular or unique needs of such customer. We may have difficulty replacing such a customer if the floor plan of the vacant space limits the types of businesses that can use the space without major renovation. In addition, the resale value of the property could be diminished because the market value of a particular property will depend principally upon the value of the leases of such property.

As of June 30, 2022, our top five customers represented 11.4% of our total annualized base rent of our portfolio, our top ten customers represented 16.7% of our total annualized base rent of our portfolio and there were no customers that individually represented more than 5.0% of our total annualized base rent of our portfolio. Our results of operations are currently substantially dependent on our top customers, and any downturn in their business could have a material adverse effect on operations. In addition, certain of our properties are occupied by a single customer, and as a result, the success of those properties depends on the financial stability of that customer. Adverse impacts to such customers, businesses or operators, including as a result of changes in market or economic conditions, natural disasters, outbreaks of an infectious disease, pandemic or any other serious public health concern, political events or other factors that may impact the operation of these properties, may have negative effects on our business and financial results. As a result, some of our customers have been, and may in the future be, required to suspend operations at our properties for what could be an extended period of time. Further, if such customers default under their leases, we may not be able to promptly enter into a new lease or operating arrangement for such properties, rental rates or other terms under any new leases or operating arrangement may be less favorable than the terms of the current lease or operating arrangement or we may be required to make capital improvements to such properties for a new customer, any of which could adversely impact our operating results.

Changes in global, national, regional or local economic, demographic, political, real estate or capital market conditions, including periods of generally deteriorating real estate industry fundamentals, may adversely affect our results of operations and returns to our stockholders.

We are subject to risks generally incident to the ownership of property, including changes in global, national, regional or local economic, demographic, political, real estate, or capital market conditions and other factors particular to the locations of the respective property investments. We are unable to predict future changes in these market conditions. For example, an economic downturn or a rise in interest rates could make it more difficult for us to lease properties or dispose of them and cause rental rates or future contractual rate increases to fall, which may adversely and materially affect our net operating income and NAV. In addition, rising interest rates could also increase capitalization rates and make alternative interest bearing and other investments more attractive and, therefore, potentially lower the relative value of our existing real estate investments and our NAV. These macroeconomic factors may cause investors to become reluctant to purchase our shares or existing investors to redeem their shares, curtailing our ability to purchase new accretive real estate investments that satisfy our investment criteria.

In addition, we believe the risks associated with our business and the value of our properties are more severe during periods of economic slowdown or recession if these periods are accompanied by deteriorating fundamentals and declining values in the real estate industry. Because all of our debt-related investments outstanding as of June 30, 2022 and debt-related investments we may make in the future might consist of mortgages secured by property, these same conditions could also adversely affect the underlying borrowers and collateral of assets that we own. Declining real estate values and deteriorating real estate fundamentals would also likely reduce the level of new mortgage loan originations, since borrowers often use increases in the value of their existing properties to support the purchase of, or investment in, additional properties. Furthermore, borrowers may not be able to pay principal and interest on such loans. Declining real estate values would also significantly increase the likelihood that we would incur losses on our debt investments in the event of a default because the value of our collateral may be insufficient to cover some or all of our basis in the investment.

Table of Contents

In the future, we may record impairments of properties, significant other-than-temporary impairment charges related to our real estate-related securities holdings, and provisions for losses on our debt-related investments, if any. To the extent that there is a general economic slowdown or real estate fundamentals deteriorate, such factors could have a significant and adverse impact on our revenues, results from operations, value of our properties, financial condition, liquidity, overall business prospects and ultimately our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Share Redemption Program

While stockholders may request on a monthly basis that we redeem all or any portion of their shares pursuant to our share redemption program, we are not obligated to redeem any shares and may choose to redeem only some, or even none, of the shares that have been requested to be redeemed in any particular month, in our discretion. In addition, our ability to fulfill redemption requests is subject to a number of limitations. As a result, share redemptions may not be available each month. Under our share redemption program, to the extent we choose to redeem shares in any particular month, we will only redeem shares as of the last calendar day of that month (each such date, a “Redemption Date”). Shares redeemed on the Redemption Date remain outstanding on the Redemption Date and are no longer outstanding on the day following the Redemption Date. Redemptions will be made at the transaction price in effect on the Redemption Date, except that shares that have not been outstanding for at least one year will be redeemed at 95% of the transaction price (an “Early Redemption Deduction”). The Early Redemption Deduction may be waived in certain circumstances including: (i) in the case of redemption requests arising from the death or qualified disability of the holder; (ii) in the event that a stockholder’s shares are redeemed because the stockholder has failed to maintain the $2,000 minimum account balance or (iii) with respect to shares purchased through our distribution reinvestment plan. To have his or her shares redeemed, a stockholder’s redemption request and required documentation must be received in good order by 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the second to last business day of the applicable month. Settlements of share redemptions will be made within three business days of the Redemption Date. An investor may

47

Table of contents

withdraw its redemption request by notifying the transfer agent before 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the last business day of the applicable month.

The total amount of aggregate redemptions of Class T, Class S, Class D, Class I and Class E shares (based on the price at which the shares are redeemed) will be limited during each calendar month to 2% of the aggregate NAV of all classes as of the last calendar day of the previous quarter and in each calendar quarter will be limited to 5% of the aggregate NAV of all classes of shares as of the last calendar day of the previous calendar quarter; provided, however, that every month and quarter each class of our common stock will be allocated capacity within such aggregate limit to allow stockholders in such class to either (a) redeem shares (based on the price at which the shares are redeemed) equal to at least 2% of the aggregate NAV of such share class as of the last calendar day of the previous quarter, or, if more limiting, (b) redeem shares (based on the price at which the shares are redeemed) over the course of a given quarter equal to at least 5% of the aggregate NAV of such share class as of the last calendar day of the previous quarter (collectively referred to herein as the “2% and 5% limits”), which in the second and third months of a quarter could be less than 2% of the NAV of such share class. In the event that we determine to redeem some but not all of the shares submitted for redemption during any month, shares redeemed at the end of the month will be redeemed on a pro rata basis. Even if the class-specific allocations are exceeded for a class, the program may offer such class additional capacity under the aggregate program limits. Redemptions and pro rata treatment, if necessary, will first be applied within the class-specific allocated capacity and then applied on an aggregate basis to the extent there is remaining capacity. All unsatisfied redemption requests must be resubmitted after the start of the next month or quarter, or upon the recommencement of the share redemption program, as applicable.

For both the aggregate and class-specific allocations described above, (i) provided that the share redemption program has been operating and not suspended for the first month of a given quarter and that all properly submitted redemption requests were satisfied, any unused capacity for that month will carry over to the second month and (ii) provided that the share redemption program has been operating and not suspended for the first two months of a given quarter and that all properly submitted redemption requests were satisfied, any unused capacity for those two months will carry over to the third month. In no event will such carry-over capacity permit the redemption of shares with aggregate value (based on the redemption price per share for the month the redemption is effected) in excess of 5% of the combined NAV of all classes of shares as of the last calendar day of the previous calendar quarter (provided that for these purposes redemptions may be measured on a net basis as described in the paragraph below).

We currently measure the foregoing redemption allocations and limitations based on net redemptions during a month or quarter, as applicable. The term “net redemptions” means, during the applicable period, the excess of our share redemptions (capital outflows) over the proceeds from the sale of our shares (capital inflows). For purposes of measuring our redemption capacity pursuant to our share redemption program, proceeds from new subscriptions in a month are included in capital inflows on the first day of the next month because that is the first day on which such shareholders have rights in the Company. Also for purposes of measuring our redemption capacity pursuant to our share redemption program, redemption requests received in a month are included in capital outflows on the last day of such month because that is the last day shareholders have rights in the Company. We record these redemptions in our financial statements as having occurred on the first day of the next month following receipt of the redemption request because shares redeemed in a given month are outstanding through the last day of the month. Net redemptions for the class-specific allocations will be based only on the capital inflows and outflows of that class, while net redemptions for the overall program limits would be based on capital inflows and outflows of all classes. Thus, for any given calendar quarter, the maximum amount of redemptions during that quarter will be equal to (i) 5% of the combined NAV of all classes of shares as of the last calendar day of the previous calendar quarter, plus

46

Table of Contents

(ii) proceeds from sales of new shares in this offering (including purchases pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan) and the Class E distribution reinvestment plan offering since the beginning of the current calendar quarter. The same would apply for a given month, except that redemptions in a month would be subject to the 2% limit described above (subject to potential carry-over capacity), and netting would be measured on a monthly basis. With respect to future periods, our board of directors may choose whether the allocations and limitations will be applied to “gross redemptions,” i.e., without netting against capital inflows, rather than to net redemptions. If redemptions for a given month or quarter are measured on a gross basis rather than on a net basis, the redemption limitations could limit the amount of shares redeemed in a given month or quarter despite our receiving a net capital inflow for that month or quarter. In order for our board of directors to change the application of the allocations and limitations from net redemptions to gross redemptions or vice versa, we will provide notice to stockholders in a prospectus supplement or special or periodic report filed by us, as well as in a press release or on our website, at least 10 days before the first business day of the quarter for which the new test will apply. The determination to measure redemptions on a gross basis, or vice versa, will only be made for an entire quarter, and not particular months within a quarter.

48

Table of contents

Although the vast majority of our assets consist of properties that cannot generally be readily liquidated on short notice without impacting our ability to realize full value upon their disposition, we intend to maintain a number of sources of liquidity including (i) cash equivalents (e.g. money market funds), other short-term investments, U.S. government securities, agency securities and liquid real estate-related securities and (ii) one or more borrowing facilities. We may fund redemptions from any available source of funds, including operating cash flows, borrowings, proceeds from this offering and/or sales of our assets.

Should redemption requests, in our judgment, place an undue burden on our liquidity, adversely affect our operations or risk having an adverse impact on the company as a whole, or should we otherwise determine that investing our liquid assets in real properties or other illiquid investments rather than redeeming our shares is in the best interests of the company as a whole, then we may choose to redeem fewer shares than have been requested to be redeemed, or none at all. Further, our board of directors may modify or suspend our share redemption program if it deems such action to be in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders. If the transaction price for the applicable month is not made available by the tenth business day prior to the last business day of the month (or is changed after such date), then no redemption requests will be accepted for such month and stockholders who wish to have their shares redeemed the following month must resubmit their redemption requests. The above description of the share redemption program is a summary of certain of the terms of the share redemption program. Please see the full text of the share redemption program, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 4.2 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for all the terms and conditions.

(3)Redemption requests accepted in June 2022March 2023 are considered redeemed on JulyApril 1, 20222023 for accounting purposes and, as a result, are not included in the table above. This differs from how we treat capital outflows for purposes of the limitations of our share redemption program. For purposes of measuring our redemption capacity pursuant to our share redemption program, redemption requests received in a month are included in capital outflows on the last day of such month because that is the last day shareholders have rights in the Company and we redeemed $44.5 million of shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
