Management Commentary
“STORE delivered another quarter of strong portfolio performance, origination activity and financial results, which has enabled us over this year to narrow our 2016 performance guidance to the top end of the range we set for ourselves,” said Christopher H. Volk, President and Chief Executive Officer of STORE Capital. “Our
investment activity remains robust as a result of our dedication to deal flow ownership. At the same time, with our recently implemented ATM program, the BBB- corporate unsecured credit rating we received during the quarter from Standard and Poor’s and the innovative use of our A+ rated Master Funding conduit in October, our capital flexibility has never been better. Add this to a sector leading 7.4% dividend increase, with an increasingly well-protected dividend and we are well on our way to accomplishing the goals we set at the beginning of this year. Now, as we close out a productive and prosperous 2016, we are excited to introduce outlook for continued strong growth in 2017, with an initial AFFO per share guidance range of $1.74 to $1.76.”
Financial Results
Total Revenues
Total revenues were $97.0 million for the third quarter of 2016, an increase of 29.7% from $74.8 million for the third quarter of 2015.
Total revenues for the first nine months of 2016 were $274.2 million, an increase of 33.7% from $205.2 million for the first nine months of 2015. The increase in both the three- and nine-month periods was driven primarily by the growth in the size of STORE Capital’s real estate investment portfolio, which grew from $3.7 billion in gross investment amount representing 1,246 property locations at September 30, 2015 to $4.8 billion in gross investment amount representing 1,576 property locations at September 30, 2016.
Net Income
Net income increased to $36.3 million, or $0.24 per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $23.0 million in net income, or $0.18 per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2015. Net income for the third quarter of 2016 includes $6.7 million of net gains on the sale of properties as compared to $0.7 million of net gains in the third quarter of 2015.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $91.4 million, or $0.62 per basic and diluted share compared to $59.7 million, or $0.50 per basic and diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The Company reported net gains of $9.5 million on the sale of properties during the first nine months of 2016 versus $1.9 million of net gains during the same period in 2015.
Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)
AFFO increased 31.3% to $63.8 million, or $0.42 per basic share and $0.41 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2016, compared to AFFO of $48.6 million, or $0.38 per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2015.
AFFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $178.7 million, or $1.22 per basic share and $1.21 per diluted share, compared to $130.9 million, or $1.09 per basic and diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in AFFO for the three- and nine-month periods between years was primarily driven by additional rental revenues and interest income generated by the growth in the Company’s real estate investment portfolio.

Real Estate Portfolio Highlights
Investment Activity
The Company originated $257.3 million of gross investments representing 85 property locations during the third quarter of 2016. These investments had an initial weighted average cap rate of 8.2%. Total investment activity for the first nine months of 2016 was $898.0 million representing 273 property locations with an initial weighted average cap rate of 8.0%. The Company defines “initial cap rate” for property acquisitions as the initial annual cash rent divided by the purchase price of the property.
Disposition Activity
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company sold 21 properties and recognized an aggregate gain, net of tax, of $9.5 million; 16 of these 21 properties were sold in the third quarter at an aggregate gain, net of tax, of $6.7 million. The 21 properties sold represented approximately 1.4% of the investment portfolio at the beginning of 2016.
Portfolio
At September 30, 2016, STORE Capital’s real estate portfolio totaled $4.8 billion representing 1,576 property locations, substantially all of which are profit centers for the Company’s customers. Approximately 95% of the portfolio represents commercial real estate properties subject to long-term leases, 5% represents mortgage loans and direct financing receivables primarily on commercial real estate buildings (located on land the Company owns and leases to its customers) and a nominal amount represents other loans receivable secured by the tenants’ other assets. As of September 30, 2016, the portfolio’s annualized base rent and interest (based on rates in effect on September 30, 2016 for all lease and loan contracts) totaled $395.4 million. The weighted average non-cancelable remaining term of the leases at September 30, 2016 was approximately 14 years.

The Company’s customers operate their businesses across more than 380 brand names, or concepts, and the largest single concept represented approximately 2.8% of the Company’s annualized base rent and interest as of September 30, 2016.

* Based on annualized base rent and interest.
(1) Represents the weighted average annual escalation rate of the entire portfolio as if all escalations occurred annually. For escalations based on a formula including CPI, assumes the stated fixed percentage in the contract or assumes 1.5% if no fixed percentage is in the contract. For contracts with no escalations remaining in the current lease term, assumes the escalation in the extension term. Calculation excludes contracts representing less than 0.3% of annualized base rent and interest where there are no further escalations remaining in the current lease term and there are no extension options.
(2) The Company defines occupancy as a property being subject to a lease or loan contract. As of September 30, 2016, twelve of the Company’s properties were vacant and not subject to a contract.
(3) Represents the number of the Company’s investment locations that have been closed by the tenant but remain subject to a lease.
(4) Percentage of investment portfolio in multiple properties with a single customer subject to master leases. Based on annualized base rent and interest, 81% of the investment portfolio involves multiple properties with a single customer, whether or not subject to a master lease.
(5) Represents the ratio of purchase price to replacement cost (new) at acquisition.
(6) STORE Capital calculates a unit’s FCCR generally as the ratio of (i) the unit’s EBITDAR, less a standardized corporate overhead expense based on estimated industry standards, to (ii) the unit’s total fixed charges, which are its lease expense, interest expense and scheduled principal payments on indebtedness. The 4-Wall coverage ratio refers to a unit’s FCCR before taking into account standardized corporate overhead expense.
(7) Represents the percentage of the Company’s contracts that have a STORE Score that is investment grade. The Company measures the credit quality of its portfolio on a contract-by-contract basis using the STORE Score, which is a risk measure reflective of both the credit risk of its tenants and the profitability of the operations at the properties. As of September 30, 2016, STORE Capital’s tenants had a median tenant credit profile of approximately ‘Ba2’ as measured by Moody’s Analytics RiskCalc rating scale. Considering the profitability of the operations at each of its properties and STORE’s assessment of the likelihood that each of the tenants will choose to continue to operate at the properties in the event of their insolvency, the credit quality of its contracts, or STORE Score, is enhanced to a median of ‘Baa1’.

Capital Transactions
In August 2016, STORE Capital received an investment-grade corporate issuer rating from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services of BBB-, Positive Outlook.
In September 2016, the Company established an “at the market” equity distribution program, or ATM program, pursuant to which it can, from time to time, offer and sell registered shares of common stock up to a maximum amount of $400 million through a group of banks acting as its sales agents. During September 2016, the Company sold approximately 2.5 million shares at a weighted average share price of $29.21 and raised approximately $71.6 million in net proceeds under the ATM program.
On October 18, 2016, the Company’s consolidated special purpose entities issued an additional series of STORE Master Funding net-lease mortgage notes consisting of $200.0 million of Class A-1 notes, $135.0 million of Class A-2 notes and $20.0 million of Class B notes. The Class A-1 notes are ten-year notes with an interest rate of 3.96%. The Class A-2 notes are ten-and-a-half-year notes and were retained by the Company for sale at a future date. The Class B notes were also retained by the Company.
2016 AFFO Guidance
The Company is raising its expected 2016 annual real estate acquisition volume, net of projected property sales, from $1.0 billion to approximately $1.1 billion and expects that 2016 AFFO per share will be in the range of $1.62 to $1.63. AFFO per share guidance equates to anticipated net income, excluding gains or losses on sales of property, of $0.73 to $0.74 per share, plus $0.79 per share of expected real estate depreciation and amortization, plus approximately $0.10 per share related to noncash items and real estate transaction costs.
2017 AFFO Guidance
The Company currently expects 2017 AFFO per share of $1.74 to $1.76, based on projected 2017 annual real estate acquisition volume, net of projected property sales, of approximately $900 million. This AFFO per share guidance equates to anticipated net income, excluding gains or losses on sales of property, of $0.78 to $0.79 per share, plus $0.87 to $0.88 per share of expected real estate depreciation and amortization, plus approximately $0.09 per share related to noncash items and real estate transaction costs. AFFO per share is sensitive to the timing and amount of real estate acquisitions and capital markets activities during the year, as well as to the spread achieved between the lease rates on new acquisitions and the interest rates on borrowings used to finance those acquisitions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
FFO and AFFO
STORE Capital’s reported results are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. The Company also discloses Funds from Operations, or FFO, and Adjusted Funds from Operations, or AFFO, both of which are non-GAAP measures. Management believes these two non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they are widely accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs. FFO and AFFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements; accordingly, they should not be considered alternatives to net income as a performance measure or to cash flows from operations as reported on a statement of cash flows as a liquidity measure and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures.
The Company computes FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income, excluding gains (or losses) from extraordinary items and sales of depreciable property, real estate
6
impairment losses, and depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries.
To derive AFFO, the Company modifies the NAREIT computation of FFO to include other adjustments to GAAP net income related to certain non-cash revenues and expenses such as straight-line rents, amortization of deferred financing costs and stock-based compensation. In addition, in deriving AFFO, the Company excludes transaction costs associated with acquiring real estate subject to existing leases and certain other expenses not related to its ongoing operations.
FFO is used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among the Company’s peers primarily because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. Management believes that AFFO provides more useful information to investors and analysts because it modifies FFO to exclude certain additional non-cash revenues and expenses such as straight-line rents, amortization of deferred financing costs and stock-based compensation as such items may cause short-term fluctuations in net income but have no impact on operating cash flows or long-term operating performance. Additionally, in deriving AFFO, the Company excludes transaction costs associated with acquiring real estate subject to existing leases. The Company views transaction costs to be a part of the investment in the real estate it acquires, similar to the treatment of acquisition and closing costs on sale-leaseback transactions, which are capitalized as a part of the investment in the asset. The Company believes that transaction costs are not an ongoing cost of the portfolio in place at the end of each reporting period and, for these reasons, the portion expensed is added back when computing AFFO. Similarly, in 2016 the Company excluded the offering expenses incurred on behalf of its selling stockholder, STORE Holding, when it exited all of its holdings in STORE Capital common stock, as those costs are not related to the Company’s ongoing operations. As a result, the Company believes AFFO to be a more meaningful measurement of ongoing performance that allows for greater performance comparability. Therefore, the Company discloses both FFO and AFFO and reconciles them to the most appropriate GAAP performance metric, which is net income. STORE Capital’s FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
