Financial Results

COVID-19 Update

Since early 2020, the world has been impacted by the pandemic. At various times, COVID-19 and measures to prevent its spread have affected the Company by impacting its tenants’ businesses and their ability to pay rent. As restrictions have lifted, the Company’s tenants have increased their business activity and their ability to make rent payments. Essentially all of the Company’s properties are open for business and the Company’s collections of monthly rent and interest have returned to pre-pandemic levels. The Company continues to closely watch for unpredictable factors that could impact its business going forward, including governmental, business and individual actions in response to the pandemic, including the vaccination process (and related government mandates), the impact of COVID-19 variants, and the overall impact on broad economic activity.

Total Revenues

Total revenues were $199.1 million for the third quarter of 2021, an increase of 13.6% from $175.2 million for the third quarter of 2020.

Total revenues for the first nine months of 2021 were $573.4 million, an increase of 10.0% from $521.4 million for the first nine months of 2020. The increase was driven primarily by the growth in the size of STORE Capital’s real estate investment portfolio, which grew from $9.3 billion in gross investment amount representing 2,587 property locations and 511 customers at September 30, 2020 to $10.3 billion in gross investment amount representing 2,788 property locations and 538 customers at September 30, 2021.

Net Income

Net income was $75.9 million, or $0.28 per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2021, as compared to $54.6 million, or $0.21 per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2020. Net income for the third quarter of 2021 included an aggregate net gain on dispositions of real estate of $10.7 million, as compared to an aggregate net gain on dispositions of real estate of $3.5 million for the same period in 2020.

Net income includes such items as gain or loss on dispositions of real estate and provisions for impairment, which can vary from quarter to quarter and impact net income and period-to-period comparisons.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $193.3 million, or $0.72 per basic and diluted share, as compared to $157.9 million, or $0.63 per basic and diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Net income for the first nine months of 2021 included an aggregate net gain on dispositions of real estate of $32.3 million, as compared to an aggregate net gain on dispositions of real estate of $6.8 million for the same period in 2020.

Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)

AFFO increased to $140.3 million, or $0.52 per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2021, as compared to AFFO of $119.1 million, or $0.47 per basic and $0.46 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2020. AFFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $401.2 million, or $1.49 per basic and

diluted share, an increase from $347.8 million, or $1.39 per basic and diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

AFFO for the three- and nine-month periods in 2021 rose primarily as a result of net additional rental revenues and interest income generated by growth in the Company’s real estate investment portfolio.

Dividend Information

As previously announced, STORE Capital declared a regular quarterly cash dividend per common share of $0.385 for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021, representing a 6.9% increase over the quarterly cash dividend per common share declared for the prior quarter. This dividend, totaling $104.8 million, was paid on October 15, 2021 to stockholders of record on September 30, 2021.

Real Estate Portfolio Highlights

Investment Activity

The Company originated $411.7 million of gross investments representing 75 property locations during the third quarter of 2021. These origination and other activities resulted in the creation of 16 new customer relationships. The investments had a weighted average initial cap rate of 7.4%. Total investment activity for the first nine months of 2021 was $1.0 billion representing 236 property locations with a weighted average initial cap rate of 7.7%. The Company defines “initial cap rate” for property acquisitions as the initial annual cash rent divided by the purchase price of the property. STORE’s leases customarily have lease escalations, most of which are tied to the consumer price index and subject to a cap. For acquisitions made during the first nine months of 2021, the weighted average stated lease escalation cap was 1.9%.

Disposition Activity

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company sold 82 properties and recognized an aggregate net gain on the disposition of real estate of $32.3 million; 25 of these 82 properties were sold in the third quarter for an aggregate net gain of $10.7 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net proceeds from the disposition of real estate aggregated $270.9 million as compared to an aggregate original investment amount of $279.6 million. The Company also collected $1.8 million in lease termination fees in connection with property sales in the third quarter of 2021.

Portfolio

At September 30, 2021, STORE Capital’s real estate portfolio totaled $10.3 billion. Approximately 94% of the portfolio represents commercial real estate properties subject to long-term leases, 6% represents mortgage loans and financing receivables on commercial real estate properties and a nominal amount represents loans receivable secured by the tenants’ other assets. The weighted average non-cancelable remaining term of the leases at September 30, 2021 was approximately 13.5 years with leases representing approximately 3.5% of the portfolio scheduled to expire in the next five years.

The Company’s portfolio of real estate investments is highly diversified across customers, brand names or business concepts, industries and geography. The following table presents a summary of the portfolio.

Portfolio At A Glance - As of September 30, 2021
Investment property locations	2,788
States	49
Customers	538
Industries in which customers operate	119
Proportion of portfolio from direct origination	~80	%
Contracts on STORE's form*(1)	96	%
Investment portfolio subject to Master Leases*(2)	94	%
Average investment amount/replacement cost (new)(3)	80	%
Weighted average annual lease escalation(4)	1.8	%
Weighted average remaining lease contract term	~13.5 years
Occupancy(5)	99.4	%
Properties not operating but subject to a lease(6)	1.4	%
Investment locations subject to a ground lease(7)	0.9	%
Locations subject to unit-level financial reporting	98	%
Median unit fixed charge coverage ratio (FCCR)/4‑Wall coverage ratio(8)	2.4x/3.0x
Contracts rated investment grade(9)	~72	%

* Based on base rent and interest.

(1) Represents the percentage of lease contracts that were created by STORE or contain preferred contract terms such as unit-level financial reporting, triple-net lease provisions and, when applicable, master lease provisions.

(2) Percentage of investment portfolio in multiple properties with a single customer subject to master leases. Approximately 87% of the investment portfolio involves multiple properties with a single customer, whether or not subject to a master lease.

(3) Represents the ratio of purchase price to replacement cost (new) at acquisition.

(4) 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 0.1% of base rent and interest where there are no further escalations remaining in the current lease term and there are no extension options.

(5) The Company defines occupancy as a property being subject to a lease or loan contract. As of September 30, 2021, 16 of the Company’s properties were vacant and not subject to a contract.

(6) Represents the percentage (based on the number of locations) of the Company’s investment locations that have been closed by the tenant but remain subject to a lease.

(7) Represents the percentage (based on the number of locations) of the Company’s investment locations that are subject to a ground lease.

(8) 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 (if applicable). The 4-Wall coverage ratio refers to a unit’s FCCR before taking into account standardized corporate overhead expense. The weighted average unit FCCR and 4-Wall coverage ratios were 3.4x and 4.4x, respectively.

(9) Represents the percentage of the Company’s contracts that have a STORE Score that is investment grade; amount disclosed represents the average since the inception of the Company. The Company measures the credit quality of its portfolio on a contract-by-contract basis using the STORE Score, which is a proprietary risk measure reflective of both the credit risk of the Company’s tenants and the profitability of the operations at the properties. As of September 30, 2021, 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 ‘Baa2’.

Capital Transactions

In October 2021, S&P Global Ratings raised its outlook to positive from stable and affirmed its ‘BBB’ issuer credit rating on the Company.

The Company established a $900 million “at the market” equity distribution program, or ATM Program, in November 2020 and terminated its previous program. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company sold an aggregate of approximately 0.5 million common shares at a weighted average share price of $35.98 and raised approximately $18.9 million in net proceeds after the payment of sales agents’ commissions and offering expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company sold an aggregate of approximately 5.7 million common shares at a weighted average share price of $33.82 and raised approximately $188.4 million in net proceeds after the payment of sales agents’ commissions and offering expenses.

In June 2021, the Company amended its unsecured revolving credit facility with its group of banks. The amended facility provides the Company immediate access to a $600 million unsecured, revolving credit facility and expanded the accordion feature from $800 million to $1.0 billion for a total maximum borrowing capacity of $1.6 billion; the amendment also reduced the interest rate on LIBOR-based borrowings by 15 basis points to LIBOR plus 85 basis points. The amended credit facility matures in June 2025 and includes two six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions.

In late June 2021, certain of the Company’s consolidated special purpose entities issued the tenth series, Series 2021-1, of seven- and twelve-year, net-lease mortgage notes under the Company’s STORE Master Funding debt program, separated into four classes as summarized below.

Note Class	Rating	Amount (in millions)		Coupon Rate		Term	Maturity Date
Class A-1	AAA	$	168.5	2.12	%	7 years	June 2028
Class A-2	AAA		168.5	2.96	%	12 years	June 2033
Class A-3	A+		89.0	2.86	%	7 years	June 2028
Class A-4	A+		89.0	3.70	%	12 years	June 2033
Total/Weighted Average Coupon		$	515.0	2.80	%

As part of this issuance, the Company prepaid, without penalty, $86.7 million of STORE Master Funding Series 2013-1 Class A-2 notes in May 2021 and $83.3 million of STORE Master Funding Series 2013-2 Class A-2 notes in July 2021; the two prepaid note classes bore a weighted average interest rate of 4.98%. A portion of the net proceeds from the issuance was also used to pay down balances on the Company’s revolving credit facility with the remainder of the proceeds representing new incremental term borrowings.

2021 Guidance

The Company is raising its 2021 AFFO per share guidance from a range of $1.94 to $1.97 to a range of $1.98 to $2.00 and is maintaining its expected 2021 annual real estate acquisition volume guidance, net of projected property sales, at $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion. This AFFO per share guidance equates to anticipated net income, excluding gains or losses on sales of property, of $0.88 to $0.90 per share, plus $0.97 per share of expected real estate depreciation and amortization, plus approximately $0.13 per share related to noncash items. The AFFO per share guidance is based on a weighted average initial cap rate for 2021 acquisitions of 7.5%.

STORE Capital Corporation

2022 Guidance

The Company currently expects 2022 AFFO per share to be within a range of $2.15 to $2.20, based on the Company’s current projections for net real estate acquisitions for the remainder of 2021 plus projected 2022 annual real estate acquisition volume, net of projected property sales, of $1.1 billion to $1.3 billion. This AFFO per share guidance equates to anticipated net income, excluding gains or losses on sales of property, of $1.01 to $1.05 per share, plus $1.03 to $1.04 per share of expected real estate depreciation and amortization, plus approximately $0.11 per share related to noncash items. AFFO per share is sensitive to the timing and amount of real estate acquisitions, property dispositions 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 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 revenues and expenses that have no impact on the Company’s long-term operating performance, such as straight-line rents, amortization of deferred financing costs and stock-based compensation. In addition, in deriving AFFO, the Company excludes certain other costs not related to its ongoing operations, such as the amortization of lease-related intangibles.

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 (or losses) 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 revenues and expenses such as straight-line rents, including construction period rent deferrals, and the amortization of deferred financing costs, stock-based compensation and lease-related intangibles as such items have no impact on long-term operating performance. 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.
