Estimated Value per Share • Duff & Phelps, an independent third-party valuation firm, produced an estimated value per share in the range of $10.35 to $11.75 as of March 31, 2018 • On May 9, 2018, the company’s board of directors established the estimated value per share of its common stock and operating partnership units at $11.05, which is the midpoint of the range Represents a 10.5% increase from original offering price of $10.00 per share Illustrates the successful integration of Phillips Edison Limited Partnership's ⦁ (PELP) assets and investment management business and the continued ⦁ growth of our owned centers Please note that the estimated value per share is not intended to represent an enterprise or liquidation value of our company. It is important to remember that the estimated value per share may not reflect the amount you would obtain if you were to sell your shares or if we liquidated our assets. Further, the estimated value per share is as of a moment in time, and the value of our shares and assets may change over time as a result of several factors including, but not limited to, future acquisitions or dispositions, other developments related to individual assets, and changes in the real estate and capital markets, and we do not undertake to update the estimated value per share to account for any such events. You should not rely on the estimated value per share as being an accurate measure of the then-current value of your shares in making a decision to buy or sell your shares, including whether to participate in our dividend reinvestment plan or our share repurchase program. For a description of the methodology and assumptions used to determine the estimated value per share, see our recent 10-Q filing made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. www.phillipsedison.com/investors 7
Shopping Center Real Estate Market Update • Publicly traded peers continue to trade at a discount to NAV As of April 30, our publicly traded peers were trading at an average discount to NAV of approximately 29%* ⦁ We believe this is a disconnect between the public and private valuations of retail real estate ⦁ • However, retail real estate fundamentals remain strong at the property level Driven by solid Q1 2018 earnings, share prices were up approximately 5% during the first week of earnings ⦁ • Shopping centers in leading markets continue to sell at relatively expensive valuations • We believe this gap between public and private valuations will close over time * SNL Financial.

Share Repurchase Program • Repurchased $37.4M in April 2018 Our Share Repurchase Program (SRP) states that the cash available for repurchases on any particular date will generally be limited to the proceeds from the DRIP during the preceding four fiscal quarters, less any cash already used for repurchases since the beginning of the same period. However, in accordance with the SRP, shares will still be repurchased due to a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability,” or “determination of incompetence.” Repurchases are made at the most recent estimated value per share. www.phillipsedison.com/investors 12
Liquidity • The acquisition of PELP was a positive step towards a potential liquidity event • Management is now the Company’s largest stockholder currently owning over 9% of the combined company, with a long term view of increasing shareholder value • Earn-out structure incentivizes future performance - motivation to effect a liquidity event for PECO and achieve certain fundraising targets for REIT III • Our management and board of directors are continually evaluating our liquidity options. We believe that a patient approach is prudent in order to successfully complete a full cycle liquidity event at an attractive price www.phillipsedison.com/investors 13

Appendix
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financials Same-center NOI represents the NOI for the properties that were owned and operational for the entire portion of both comparable reporting periods, except for the properties we currently classify as redevelopment. For purposes of evaluating Same-center NOI on a comparative basis, and in light of the PELP transaction, we are presenting Pro Forma Same-center NOI, which assumes the PELP properties were acquired on January 1, 2017. This perspective allows us to evaluate Same-center NOI growth over a comparable period. Pro Forma Same-center NOI is not necessarily indicative of what actual Same-center NOI and growth would have been if the PELP transaction had occurred on January 1, 2017, nor does it purport to represent Same-center NOI and growth for future periods. Pro Forma Same-center NOI highlights operating trends such as occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs on properties that were operational for both comparable periods. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Same-center NOI, and accordingly, our Pro Forma Same-center NOI may not be comparable to other REITs. Pro Forma Same-center NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance since it does not reflect the operations of our entire portfolio, nor does it reflect the impact of general and administrative expenses, acquisition expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, other income, or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties that could materially impact our results from operations. www.phillipsedison.com/investors 17

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financials NOI from the PELP properties acquired prior to the PELP transaction was obtained from the accounting records of PELP without adjustment. The accounting records were subject to internal review by the company. The table below provides Same-Center NOI detail for the non-ownership period of PELP, which was the three months ended March 31, 2017. 2017 Revenues: Rental income(1) $ 14,766 Tenant recovery income 4,244 Other property income 248 Total revenues 19,258 Operating expenses: Property operating expenses 3,533 Real estate taxes 2,518 Total operating expenses 6,051 Total Same-Center NOI $ 13,207 (1) Excludes straight-line rental income, net amortization of above- and below-market leases, and lease buyout income. www.phillipsedison.com/investors 19
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financials Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations FFO is a non-GAAP performance financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for impairment losses on depreciable real estate and impairments of in-substance real estate investments in investees that are driven by measurable decreases in the fair value of the depreciable real estate held by the unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. We calculate FFO Attributable to Stockholders and Convertible Noncontrolling Interests in a manner consistent with the NAREIT definition, with an additional adjustment made for noncontrolling interests that are not convertible into common stock. MFFO is an additional performance financial measure used by us as FFO includes certain non-comparable items that affect our performance over time. MFFO excludes the following items: • acquisition and transaction expenses; • straight-line rent amounts, both income and expense; • amortization of above- or below-market intangible lease assets and liabilities; • amortization of discounts and premiums on debt investments; • gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt; • gains or losses on the extinguishment of derivatives, except where the trading of such instruments is a fundamental attribute of our operations; • gains or losses related to fair value adjustments for derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting; and • adjustments related to the above items for joint ventures and noncontrolling interests and unconsolidated entities in the application of equity accounting. We believe that MFFO is helpful in assisting management and investors with the assessment of the sustainability of operating performance in future periods. We believe it is more reflective of our core operating performance and provides an additional measure to compare our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that may cause short-term fluctuations in net income (loss) but have no impact on cash flows. FFO, FFO Attributable to Stockholders and Convertible Noncontrolling Interests, and MFFO should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations under GAAP, as an indication of our liquidity, nor as an indication of funds available to cover our cash needs, including our ability to fund distributions. MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate our business plan in the manner currently contemplated. Accordingly, FFO, FFO Attributable to Stockholders and Convertible Noncontrolling Interests, and MFFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements, and should not be viewed as more prominent measures of performance than net income (loss) or cash flows from operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our FFO, FFO Attributable to Stockholders and Convertible Noncontrolling Interests, and MFFO, as presented, may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other REITs. www.phillipsedison.com/investors 20
