1. Business Description

Broadstone Net Lease, Inc. (the “Corporation”) is a Maryland corporation formed on October 18, 2007, that elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2008. The Corporation focuses on investing in income-producing, net leased commercial properties. The Corporation leases properties to retail, healthcare, industrial, office, and other commercial businesses under long-term net lease agreements. As of SeptemberAt June 30, 2018,2019, the Corporation owned a diversified portfolio of 583646 individual net leased commercial properties located in 42 states throughout the continental United States.

Broadstone Net Lease, LLC (the “Operating Company”), is the entity through which the Corporation conducts its business and owns (either directly or through subsidiaries) all of the Corporation’s properties. The Corporation is the sole managing member and primary owner of the economic interest of the Operating Company. The remaining interests in the Operating Company, which are referred to as non-controlling interests, are held by members who acquired their interest by contributing property to the Operating Company in exchange for membership units of the Operating Company. As the Corporation conducts substantially all of its operations through the Operating Company, it is structured as what is referred to as an Umbrella Partnership Real Estate Investment Trustumbrella partnership real estate investment trust (“UPREIT”). The following table summarizes the economic ownership interest in the Operating Company as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:Company:

The Corporation operates under the direction of its board of directors (the “Board of Directors”), which is responsible for the management and control of the Company’s (as defined below) affairs. The Corporation is externally managed and its boardBoard of directorsDirectors has retained the Corporation’s sponsor, Broadstone Real Estate, LLC (the “Manager”) and Broadstone Asset Management, LLC (the “Asset Manager”) to manage the Corporation’s day-to-day affairs, to implement the Corporation’s investment strategy, and to provide certain property management services for the Corporation’s properties, subject to the Board of Directors’ direction, oversight, and approval. The Asset Manager is a wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiary of the Manager and all of the Corporation’s officers are employees of the Manager. Accordingly, both the Manager and the Asset Manager are related parties of the Company. Refer to Note 3 for further discussion overconcerning related parties and related party transactions.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Interim Information

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information (Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 270, Interim Reporting) and Article 10 of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the Corporation has omitted certain footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained within the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018, included in the Company’s 20172018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 15, 2018.14, 2019. Therefore, the readers of this quarterly report should refer to those audited consolidated financial statements, specifically Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for further discussion of significant accounting policies and estimates. The Corporation believes all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in these interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (which include only normal recurring adjustments).

Principles of Consolidation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts and operations of the Corporation, the Operating Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned by the Operating Company (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


To the extent the Corporation has a variable interest in entities that are not evaluated under the variable interest entity (“VIE”) model, the Corporation evaluates its interests using the voting interest entity model. The Corporation holds a 92.4%93.2% interest in the Operating Company at SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, and is the sole managing member of the Operating Company, which gives the Corporation exclusive and complete responsibility for the day-to-day management, authority to make decisions, and control of the Operating Company. Based on consolidation guidance, the Corporation has concluded that the Operating Company is a VIE as the members in the Operating Company do not possess kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. Accordingly, the Corporation consolidates its interest in the Operating Company. However, as the Corporation holds the majority voting interest in the Operating Company, it qualifies for the exemption from providing certain disclosure requirements associated with investments in VIEs.

The portion of the Operating Company not owned by the Corporation is presented as non-controlling interests as of and during the periods presented.

Basis of Accounting

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, the allocation of purchase price between investment in rental property and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the value of long-lived assets, the provision for impairment, the depreciable lives of rental property, the amortizable lives of intangible assets and liabilities, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the fair value of assumed debt and notes payable, the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements, and the determination of any uncertain tax positions. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes escrow funds the Company maintains pursuant to the terms of certain mortgage and notes payable and lease agreements, and undistributed proceeds from the sale of properties under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Long-lived Asset Impairment

The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held and used for possible impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If, and when, such events or changes in circumstances are present, an impairment exists to the extent the carrying value of the asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset or asset group and its eventual disposition.  Such cash flows include expected future operating income, as adjusted for trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition, and other factors. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset or asset group. A significant judgment is made as to if and when impairment should be taken. If ourthe Company’s strategy, or one or more of the assumptions described above were to change in the future, an impairment may need to be recognized.

Inputs used in establishing fair value for real estate assets generally fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, which are characterized as requiring significant judgment as little or no current market activity may be available for validation. The main indicator used to establish the classification of the inputs is current market condition,conditions, as derived through ourthe use of published commercial real estate market information. The Company determines the valuation of impaired assets using generally accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis, income capitalization, analysis of recent comparable sales transactions, actual sales negotiations, and bona fide purchase offers received from third parties. Management may consider a single valuation technique or multiple valuation techniques, as appropriate, when estimating the fair value of its real estate.

During the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018 and 2017 we2019, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2,0611,017 and $2,608, respectively, which resultedon one property. Impairment indicators were identified from non-payment of rental amounts, concerns over the respective tenant’s future viability and changes to the overall investment strategy for certainthe real estate assets. The amount of the impairment charge was based on ourmanagement’s consideration of the factors detailed above. In determining the fair value of the impaired assets at September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the timemeasurement date, the Company utilized a capitalization rate of measurement, we utilized capitalization rates ranging from 7.50% to 10.00%14.58%, and a weighted average discount rate of 8.00%. In determiningThere were no impairment charges recorded for the fair value of the impaired assets at Septemberthree and six months ended June 30, 2017, the time of measurement, we utilized capitalization rates ranging from 7.25% to 12.00%, and a weighted average discount rate of 8.00%.2018.


The Company has reduced the carrying valuevalues of the impaired real estate assets to thetheir estimated fair valuevalues at the measurement date as detailed below:

Revenue Recognition

The Company commences revenue recognition on its leases based on a number of factors, including the initial determination that the contract is or contains a lease. Generally, all of the Company’s contracts are or contain leases, and therefore revenue is recognized when the lessee takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased assets. In most instances this occurs on the lease commencement date. At the time of lease assumption or at the inception of a new lease, arrangement, including new leases that arise from amendments, the Company assesses the terms and conditions of the lease to determine the proper lease classification.

Certain of the Company’s leases require tenants to pay rent based upon a percentage of the property’s net sales (“percentage rent”) or contain rent escalators indexed to future changes in the Consumer Price Index. Lease income associated with such provisions is considered variable lease income and therefore is not included in the initial measurement of the lease receivable, or in the calculation of straight-line rent revenue. Such amounts are recognized as income when the amounts are determinable.

As described in Recently Adopted Accounting Standards elsewhere in Note 2, the Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and related ASUs subsequently issued (collectively, “ASC 842”) as of January 1, 2019.

Leases Executed on or After Adoption of ASC 842

A lease arrangement is classified as an operating lease if none of the following criteria are met: (i) ownership transfers to the lessee at the end of the lease term, (ii) the lessee has a purchase option that is reasonably expected to be exercised, (iii) the lease term is for a major part of the economic life of the leased property, (iv) the present value of the future lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee that is not already reflected in the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the leased property, and (v) the leased property is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no future alternative use to the Company at the end of the lease term. If one or more of these criteria are met, the lease will generally be classified as a sales-type lease, unless the lease contains a residual value guarantee from a third party other than the lessee, in which case it would be classified as a direct financing lease under certain circumstances in accordance with ASC 842.

ASC 842 requires the Company to account for the right to use land as a separate lease component, unless the accounting effect of doing so would be insignificant. Determination of significance requires management judgment. In determining whether the accounting effect of separately reporting the land component from other components for its real estate leases is significant, the Company assesses: (i) whether separating the land component impacts the classification of any lease component, (ii) the value of the land component in the context of the overall contract, and (iii) whether the right to use the land is coterminous with the rights to use the other assets.

Leases Executed Prior to Adoption of ASC 842

A lease arrangement was classified as an operating lease if none of the following criteria were met: (i) ownership transferred to the lessee prior to or shortly after the end of the lease term, (ii) the lessee hashad a bargain purchase option during or at the end of the lease term, (iii) the lease term iswas greater than or equal to 75% of the underlying property’s estimated useful life, or (iv) the present value of the future minimum lease payments (excluding executory costs) iswas greater than or equal to 90% of the fair value of the leased property. If one or more of these criteria arewere met, and the minimum lease payments arewere determined to be reasonably predictable and collectible, the lease arrangement iswas generally accounted for as a direct financing lease. Consistent with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 840, Leases, if the fair value of the land component iswas 25% or more of the total fair value of the leased property, the land iswas considered separately from the building for purposes of applying the lease term and minimum lease payments criterion in (iii) and (iv) above.


Revenue recognition methods for operating leases, and direct financing leases, and sales-type leases are described below:

Rental property accounted for under operating leases – Revenue is recognized as rents are earned on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable terms of the related leases. In most cases, revenue recognition under operating leases begins when the lessee takes possession of, or controls, the physical use of the leased asset. Generally, this occurs on the lease commencement date. For leases that have fixed and measurable rent escalations, the difference between such rental income earned and the cash rent due under the provisions of the lease is recorded as Accrued rental income on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Rental property accounted for under direct financing leases – The Company utilizes the direct finance method of accounting to record direct financing lease income. For a lease accounted for as a direct financing lease, theThe net investment in the direct financing lease represents receivables for the sum of future minimum lease payments to be received and the estimated residual value of the leased property, less the unamortized unearned income.income (which represents the difference between undiscounted cash flows and discounted cash flows). Unearned income is deferred and amortized into income over the lease terms so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the Company’s net investment in the leases.

AdoptionRental property accounted for under sales-type leases – For leases accounted for as sales-type leases, the Company records selling profit arising from the lease at inception, along with the net investment in the lease. The Company leases assets through the assumption of ASU 2014-09, described furtherexisting leases or through sale-leaseback transactions, and records such assets at their fair value at the time of acquisition, which in Recently Adopted Accounting Standards elsewheremost cases coincides with lease inception. As a result, the Company does not generally recognize selling profit on sales-type leases. The net investment in Note 2, did not have an impactthe sales-type lease represents receivables for the sum of future lease payments and the estimated unguaranteed residual value of the leased property, each measured at net present value. Interest income is recorded over the lease terms so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the nature, amount or timingCompany’s net investment in the leases.

Certain of revenue recognizedthe Company’s contracts contain nonlease components (e.g., charges for management fees, common area maintenance, and reimbursement of third-party maintenance expenses) in addition to lease components (i.e., monthly rental charges). Services related to nonlease components are provided over the same period of time as, and billed in the same manner as, monthly rental charges. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient available under ASC 842, for all classes of assets, not to segregate the lease components from the nonlease components when accounting for operating leases. Since the lease component is the predominant component under each of these leases, combined revenues from both the lease and direct financing leasesnonlease components are reported as revenue from these sources is derived from lease contracts and therefore falls outside the scope of this guidance.  

Sales of Real Estate

As described further in Recently Adopted Accounting Standards elsewhere in Note 2, the Company adopted ASU 2017-05, effective January 1, 2018. Under ASU 2017-05, the Company’s sales of real estate are generally considered to be sales to non-customers, requiring the Company to identify each distinct non-financial asset promised to the buyer. The Company determines whether the buyer obtains control of the non-financial assets, achieved through the transfer of the risks and rewards of ownership of the non-financial assets. If control is transferred to the buyer, the Company derecognizes the asset.

If the Company determines that it did not transfer control of the non-financial assets to the buyer, the Company will analyze the contract for separate performance obligations and allocate a portion of the sales price to each performance obligation. As performance obligations are satisfied, the Company will recognize the respective incomeLease revenues in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income.

The Company accounts for discontinued operations if disposals of properties represent a strategic shift in operations. Those strategic shifts would need to have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results in order to meet the definition.


Rent Received in Advance

Derivative Instruments

The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to manage risks related to interest rate movements. The interest rate swap agreements, designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges, are reported at fair value. The gain or lossadministrative expenses on the qualifying hedges is initially included as a component of other comprehensive income or loss and is subsequently reclassified into earnings when interest payments (the forecasted transactions) on the related debt are incurred and as the swap net settlements occur. When an existing cash flow hedge is terminated, the Company determines the accounting treatment for the accumulated gain or loss recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income based on the probability of the hedged forecasted transaction occurring within the period the cash flow hedge was anticipated to affect earnings. If the Company determines that the hedged forecasted transaction is probable of occurring during the original period, the accumulated gain or loss is reclassified into earnings over the remaining life of the cash flow hedge using a straight-line method, which approximates an effective interest method. If the Company determines that the hedged forecasted transaction is not probable of occurring during the original period, the entire amount of accumulated gain or loss is reclassified into earnings in the period the cash flow hedge is terminated. The Company documents its risk management strategy and hedge effectiveness at the inception of and during the term of each hedge. The Company’s interest rate risk management strategy is intended to stabilize cash flow requirements by maintaining interest rate swap agreements to convert certain variable-rate debt to a fixed rate.

Non-controlling Interests

Non-controlling interests represents the membership interests held in the Operating Company of 7.6% at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, by third parties which are accounted for as a separate component of equity.

The Company periodically adjusts the carrying value of non-controlling interests to reflect their share of the book value of the Operating Company. Such adjustments are recorded to Additional paid-in capital as a reallocation of Non-controlling interests in theaccompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Subsequent to the adoption of ASC 842, provisions for doubtful accounts are recorded prospectively as an offset to Lease revenues on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income.  


Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.  


The balances of financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are as follows (see Note 10):

The Company has estimated that the carrying amount reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for Cash and cash equivalents, Restricted cash,Prepaid expenses and other assets, Tenant and other receivables, net, Notes receivable, and Accounts payable and other liabilities, approximates their fair values due to their short-term nature.

The following table summarizes the carrying amount reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the Mortgage and notes payable, net, Unsecured term notes, net, and Unsecured revolver at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

The fair value of the Company’s debt was estimated using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs based on recent financing transactions, estimates of the fair value of the property that serves as collateral for such debt, historical risk premiums for loans of comparable quality, current LIBOR, USLondon Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), U.S. treasury obligation interest rates, and on the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made on such debt. The discount rates estimated reflect the Company’s judgment as to the approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and assumes that the debt is outstanding through maturity. Market information, as available, or present value techniques were utilized to estimate the amounts required to be disclosed. Since such amounts are estimates that are based on limited available market information for similar transactions and do not acknowledge transfer or other repayment restrictions that may exist on specific loans, it is unlikely that the estimated fair value of any such debt could be realized by immediate settlement of the obligation.

Right-of-Use Assets and Lease Liabilities

In accordance with ASC 842, the Company records right-of-use assets and lease liabilities associated with leases of land where it is the lessee under non-cancelable operating leases (“ground leases”). The lease liability is equal to the net present value of the future payments to be made under the lease, discounted using estimates based on observable market factors. The right-of-use asset is generally equal to the lease liability plus initial direct costs associated with the leases. The Company includes in the recognition of the right-of-use asset and lease liability those renewal periods that are reasonably certain to be exercised, based on the facts and circumstances that exist at lease inception. Amounts associated with percentage rent provisions are considered variable lease costs and are not included in the initial measurement of the right-of-use asset or lease liability. As allowed under ASC 842, the Company has made an accounting policy election, applicable to all asset types, to not segregate lease from nonlease components when allocating contract consideration related to ground leases.

Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities associated with ground leases were included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:

Taxes Collected From Tenants and Remitted to Governmental Authorities

In most situations,A majority of the Company’s properties are leased on a triple-net basis, which provides that the tenants are responsible for the payment of all property operating expenses, including, but not limited to, property taxes, maintenance, insurance, repairs, and capital costs, during the lease term. The Company records such expenses on a net basis.

The following table summarizes the approximate property tax payments made directly to the taxing authorities by the Company’s tenants, pursuant to their lease obligations, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017:

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In August 2017,February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic ASC 842), which superseded the existing guidance for lease accounting, ASC 840. ASC 842 is effective January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The guidance requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability, initially measured at the present value of lease payments, for both operating and financing leases. Under the new pronouncement, lessor accounting is largely unchanged from prior GAAP, however disclosures were expanded. The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis and elected the following practical expedients:

The “Package of Three,” which allows an entity to not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases, (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (iii) initial direct costs for existing leases.

The optional transition method to initially apply the guidance of ASC 842 at the adoption date and to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. As a result of electing this practical expedient, the Company’s reporting for the comparative periods presented will continue to be in accordance with ASC 840, including the required disclosures.

The ability to make an accounting policy election, by class of underlying asset, to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease component and to account for those components as a single component if certain conditions are met.

ASC 842 requires all income from leases to be presented as a single line item, rather than the prior presentation where rental income from leases was shown separately from amounts billed and collected as reimbursements from tenants on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. In addition, bad debt expense is required to be presented as an adjustment to Lease revenues, rather than the prior presentation within Operating expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income.

The Company is primarily a lessor and therefore adoption of ASC 842 did not have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Upon adoption of ASC 842, it was not necessary for the Company to record a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings, however the Company recognized a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability as of January 1, 2019, of $1,687 and $1,261, respectively, related to operating leases where it is the lessee (see Note 16). The right-of-use asset was recorded net of a previously recorded straight-line rent liability of $7 and ground lease intangible asset, net of $432 as of the date of adoption.


In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)Purposes. Previously under Topic 815, the eligible benchmark interest rates in the United States were the interest rates on direct Treasury obligations of the U.S. government (UST), the LIBOR swap rate, the OIS Rate based on the Fed Funds Effective Rate, and the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) Municipal Swap Rate, which was introduced in ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities(“ASU 2017-12”). The amendments in ASU 2018-16 permit the use of the OIS rate based on SOFR as a benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815. The amendments in this update were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years for public business entities that already adopted the amendments in ASU 2017-12 amends(which the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging transactions and the presentation of hedge results in an entity’s financial statements. The new guidance removes the concept of separately measuring and reporting hedge ineffectiveness and requires a company to present the earnings effect of the hedging instrument in the same income statement line item in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is reported. Disclosure requirements have been modified to include a tabular disclosure related to the effect of hedging instruments on the income statement and eliminate the requirement to disclose the ineffective portion of the change in fair value of such instruments. The new guidance isCompany adopted effective January 1, 2018). The Company adopted ASU 2018-16 as of January 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted, and provides companies withon a modified retrospective transition methodprospective basis for each cash flow and net investment hedge relationship existingqualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after the date of adoption. This adoption method requires a company to recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year that an entity adopts the update. The Company adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2018. The Company did not recognize a cumulative effect adjustment upon adoption as the Company had not recognized ineffectiveness on any of the hedging instruments existing as of the date of adoption.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows—Restricted Cash. ASU 2016-18 requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and end of period total amounts on the statement of cash flows. Previously, there had been no specific guidance to address how to classify or present these changes. ASU 2016-18 became effective, on a retrospective basis, for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-18 as of January 1, 2018. In line with the retrospective adoptionAdoption of this standard, the Company removed the change in restricted cash from cash flows used in investing activities of $543 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. See Reclassifications elsewhere in Note 2.


In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 provides classification guidance for eight specific topics, including but not limited to, debt extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, and distributions received from equity method investees. ASU 2016-15 became effective,had no impact on a retrospective basis, for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 as of January 1, 2018. The classification of debt extinguishment costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows addressed by ASU 2016-15 is applicable to the Company. However, adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, as the Company historically classified these cash flows as required by the guidance.  Financial Statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09, including all updates, is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In adopting ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. Additionally, this guidance requires improved disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 as of January 1, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis. The adoption had no effect on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as the Company’s revenues are lease related, which are not subject to the provisions of ASU 2014-09.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets. This new guidance was required to be adopted concurrently with the amendments in ASU 2014-09. The new pronouncement adds guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets, including real estate. In adopting ASU 2017-05, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. The Company previously recognized revenue on sales of real estate at the time the asset was transferred (i.e., at the time of closing). Upon adoption of ASU 2014-09, as discussed above, and therefore ASU 2017-05, the Company now evaluates any separate contract or performance obligation to determine proper timing of revenue recognition, as well as sales price allocation when a performance obligation is identified. Adoption of this pronouncement had no effect on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2018 or in any periods.

Other Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In FebruaryJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,2016-13, Leases (Topic 842)Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, which supersedes the existing guidancechanges how entities measure credit losses for lease accounting, Leases (Topic 840). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability, initiallymost financial assets. Financial assets that are measured at the present value of lease payments, for both operating and financing leases. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, lesseesamortized cost will be permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset to not recognize lease liabilities and lease assets. Under the new pronouncement, lessor accounting will be largely unchanged from existing GAAP, however disclosures will be expanded.  The standard also eliminates current real estate-specific provisions and changes the guidance on sale-leaseback transactions, initial direct costs and lease executory costs for all entities. The provisions of ASU 2016-02 that are relevant to the Company’s accounting as lessor include those relating to 1) identification of non-lease components of leases, 2) lease classification tests and 3) requirements to expense, on an as-incurred basis, certain initial direct costs that are not incremental in negotiating a lease. Under existing standards, certain of these costs are capitalizable and, therefore, adoption of this new standard may result in these costs being expensed as incurred. The Company is primarily a lessor and does not have any material leases where it is the lessee. Adoption of ASU 2016-02 is therefore not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Financial Statements as it relates to leases where the Company is the lessee. Upon adoption of ASC 842, the Company may be required to record certain expenses paid directly by tenants that protectbe presented at the Company’s interest as lessor in those properties, such as real estate taxes, on a gross basis, where revenue and the corresponding expense will be recorded and presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.  The Company currently records and presents certain of these items on a net basis (see Taxes Collected From Tenants and Remitted to Governmental Authorities elsewhere in Note 2). Although there is notamount expected to be any impactcollected with an allowance for credit losses deducted from the amortized cost basis. The guidance requires an entity to net income or cash flows as a result of a gross presentation of these payments, such presentation would haveutilize broader information in estimating the impact of increasing both reported revenues and property expenses. The FASB recently decided to add additional guidance to ASC 842 to address the accounting treatment for these types of payments, and on October 31, 2018, tentatively concluded that lessors should exclude costs paid directly by the lessees from their financial statements; the Company will evaluate final guidance as it becomes available and continue to assess the impact of this potential change in presentation. The new standard provides a number of practical expedients that both lessors and lessees may elect as part of transitional reporting. These include 1) an election not to reassess upon transition whether any expired or existing contracts are leases or contain leases, the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and initial direct costs for existing leases, and 2) an election to use hindsight when evaluating the lease term of existing contracts, and impairment of right of use assets. The Company currently anticipates it will only elect the first of these practical expedients.


As originally published, when adopting ASC 842, companies were required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach.expected credit loss, including forecasted information. In JulyNovember 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11,2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses which clarified that operating lease receivables recorded by lessors are explicitly excluded from the scope of this guidance. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, LeasesFinancial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 842)326): Targeted Improvements. Transition ReliefASU 2018-11, which provides entities with an additional (and optional) transition methodoption to initially applyirrevocably elect the new leases standard at thefair value option for eligible instruments upon adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Consequently, an entity’s reporting for the comparative periods presented in the financial statements in which it adopts the new leases standard will continue to be in accordance with current GAAP (Topic 840, Leases). An entity that elects this additional transition method must provide the required ASC 840 disclosures for all periods that continue to be in accordance with ASC 840. The amendments do not change the existing disclosure requirements in ASC 840. The Company plans to adopt this optional transition method.Topic 326. ASU 2018-11 also provides lessors with a practical expedient, by class of underlying asset, to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease component and, instead, to account for those components as a single component if the nonlease components otherwise would be accounted for under the new revenue guidance (ASC 606) and certain conditions are met. If the nonlease component or components associated with the lease component are the predominant component of the combined component, an entity would account for the combined component in accordance with ASC 606. Otherwise, the entity would account for the combined component in accordance with ASC 842. The Company plans to elect this additional practical expedient, and based on its assessment of the current leases in its portfolio, anticipates that the combined components will be accounted for in accordance with ASC 842.

The amendments are2016-13 is effective January 1, 2019,2020, with early adoption permitted.permitted beginning on January 1, 2019, under a modified retrospective application. The Company has completed its initial inventory of leases and has identified changes needed to its processes and systems impacted by the new standard. The Company is continuingcontinues to evaluate the impact that adoption of this guidancenew standard will have on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and footnote disclosures.including the transition relief provisions, but does not expect such impact will be material based upon the composition of its current lease portfolio.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework—Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments under ASU 2018-13 remove, add, and modify certain disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in ASC 820. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019.2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the new standard will have on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.Statements and expects to adopt the new disclosures on a prospective basis on January 1, 2020.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments which served to clarify a variety of Topics in the Codification and applies to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. The Company will assess the impact of the changes to Topic 326 in connection with its adoption of ASU 2018-13 discussed above. The provisions of ASU 2019-04 relating to Topics 815 and 825 are effective on January 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2019-04, but does not anticipate that it will have a material impact on its financial statements.

3. Related-Party Transactions

Property Management Agreement

The Corporation and the Operating Company are a party to a property management agreement (as amended, the “Property Management Agreement”) with the Manager, a related party in which certain directors of the Corporation have either a direct or indirect ownership interest. Under the terms of the Property Management Agreement, the Manager manages and coordinates certain aspects of the leasing of the Corporation’s rental property.

In exchange for services provided under the Property Management Agreement, the Manager receives certain fees and other compensation as follows:

 

(a)(i)

3% of gross rentals collected each month from the rental property for property management services (other than one property, which has a separate agreementcalls for 5% of gross rentals)rentals under the Property Management Agreement); and

 

(b)(ii)

Re-leasing fees for existing rental property equal to one month’s rent for a new lease with an existing tenant and two months’ rent for a new lease with a new tenant.


Effective January 1, 2018, the Property Management Agreement was amended to, among other things, extend the recurring term of the agreement from one year to three years, clarify termination provisions, include a Termination Event concept and a Key Person Event concept, each as defined in the Property Management Agreement, and remove fee provisions relating to short-term financing or guarantees provided by the Manager to the Operating Company.

The Property Management Agreement will automatically renewrenewed on January 1, 2019 for three years ending December 31, 2021, subject to earlier termination pursuant to the terms of the Property Management Agreement. The Property Management Agreement provides for terminationtermination: (i) immediately by the Corporation’s Independent Directors Committee (“IDC”) for Cause, as defined in the Property Management Agreement, (ii) by the IDC, upon 30 days’ written notice to the Manager, in connection with a change ofin control of the Manager, as defined in the Property Management Agreement, (iii) by the IDC, by providing the Manager with written notice of termination not less than one year prior to the last calendar day of any renewal term, (iv) by the Manager upon written notice to the Company not less than one year prior to the last calendar day of any renewal period, (v) automatically in the event of a Termination Event, as defined in the Property Management Agreement, and (vi) by the IDC upon a Key Person Event.Event, as defined in the Property Management Agreement.

If the Corporation terminates the agreement prior to any renewal term or in any manner described above, other than termination by the Corporation for Cause, the Corporation will be subject to a termination fee equal to three times the Management Fees, as defined in the Property Management Agreement, to which the Manager was entitled during the 12-month period immediately preceding the date of such termination. Although not terminable as of Septemberat June 30, 2018,2019, if the Property Management Agreement had been terminated at SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, subject to the conditions noted above, the termination fee would have been $18,435.$21,711.

Asset Management Agreement

The Corporation and the Operating Company are party to an asset management agreement (as amended, the “Asset Management Agreement”) with the Asset Manager, a single member limited liability company with the Manager as the single member, and therefore a related party in which certain directors of the Corporation have an indirect ownership interest. Under the terms of the Asset Management Agreement, the Asset Manager is responsible for, among other things, the Corporation’s acquisition, initial leasing, and disposition strategies, financing activities, and providing support to the Corporation’s IDC for its valuation functions and other duties. The Asset Manager also designatesnominates two individuals to serve on the Board of Directors of the Corporation.


Effective January 1, 2018, the Asset Management Agreement was amended to, among other things, extend the recurring term of the agreement from one year to three years, provide for additional disposition fee provisions, and include a Disposition Event concept and Key Person Event concept, each as defined in the amended Asset Management Agreement. The Asset Management Agreement defines a Disposition Event in the same manner as a Termination Event is defined in the Property Management Agreement discussed above.

Under the terms of the Asset Management Agreement, the Asset Manager is compensated as follows:

 

(a)(i)

a quarterly asset management fee equal to 0.25% of the aggregate value of common stock, based on the per share value as determined by the IDC each quarter, on a fully diluted basis as if all interests in the Operating Company had been converted into shares of the Corporation’s common stock;

 

(b)(ii)

0.5% of the proceeds from future equity closings as reimbursement for offering, marketing, and brokerage expenses;

 

(c)(iii)

1% of the gross purchase price paid for each rental property acquired (other than acquisitions described in (d)(iv) below), including any property contributed in exchange for membership interests in the Operating Company;

 

(d)(iv)

2% of the gross purchase price paid for each rental property acquired in the event that the acquisition of a rental property requires a new lease (as opposed to the assumption of an existing lease), such as a sale-leaseback transaction;

 

(e)(v)

1% of the gross sale price received for each rental property disposition; and

 

(f)(vi)

6. Investment in Rental Property and Lease Arrangements

The Company generally leases its investment rental property to established tenants.tenants in the retail, healthcare, manufacturing, office and other industries. At SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, the Company had 567627 real estate properties which were leased under leases that have been classified as operating leases and 16 that have been classified as direct financing leases. Of the 16 leases classified as direct financing leases, four include land portions which are accounted for as operating leases (see Revenue Recognition within Note 2). Substantially all leases have initial terms of 10 to 20 years and provide for minimum rentals as defined in ASC 840, Leases. In addition, theyears. The Company’s leases generally provide for limited increases in rent as a result of fixed increases, increases in the Consumer Price Index, or increases in the tenant’s sales volume. Generally, the tenant istenants are also required to pay all property taxes and assessments, substantially maintain the interior and exterior of the building, and maintain property and liability insurance coverage. The leases also typically provide for one or more multiple year renewal options subject to generally the same terms and conditions as the initial lease. None of the Company’s leases contain purchase options.

The Company’s leases do not include residual value guarantees. To protect the residual value of its assets under lease, the Company requires tenants to maintain certain levels of property insurance, and in some cases will purchase supplemental policies directly. Management physically inspects each property on a regular basis, to ensure the tenant is maintaining the property so that it will be in a condition at the end of the lease term that is suitable for the Company to lease to a new tenant without the need for significant additional investment. For assets other than land, at lease inception the Company estimates the residual value taking into consideration the original fair value of the asset, less anticipated depreciation over the lease term. In general, at lease inception the Company assumes the value ascribed to land will be fully recoverable at the end of the lease term.

For each separate debt instrument, on a lender by lender basis, in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishment, the Company performed an assessment of whether the transaction was deemed to be new debt, a modification of existing debt, or an extinguishment of existing debt. Debt issuance costs are either deferred and amortized over the term of the associated debt or expensed as incurred.  Based on this assessment, $5,443$5,229 of the debt issuance costs were deemed to be related to the issuance of new debt, or the modification of existing debt, and therefore have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of the associated debt. The remaining $2,901 of debt issuance costs were associated with lenders whose commitments under the new agreements have been determined to be an extinguishment and such debt issuance costs were expensed as a component of the Cost of debt extinguishment in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Additionally, $654$215 of unamortized debt issuance costs were expensed and included in Cost of debt extinguishment in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019.

10. Interest Rate Swaps

Interest rate swaps were entered into with certain financial institutions in order to mitigate the impact of interest rate variability over the term of the related debt agreements. The interest rate swaps are considered cash flow hedges. In order to reduce counterparty concentration risk, the Company has a diversification policy for institutions that serve as swap counterparties. Under these agreements, the Company receives monthly payments from the counterparties on these interest rate swaps equal to the related variable interest rates multiplied by the outstanding notional amounts. Certain interest rate swaps amortize on a monthly basis. In turn, the Company pays the counterparties each month an amount equal to a fixed rate multiplied by the related outstanding notional amounts. The intended net impact of these transactions is that the Company pays a fixed interest rate on its variable-rate borrowings.

These leases contain provisions for work completed underfixed monthly payments, subject to rent escalations. One lease requires the tenant improvement allowances wereCompany to make annual rent payments calculated based upon sales generated at the property (“percentage rent”). None of the leases are subject to any sublease agreement.

Overview

We are an externally managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”), formed as a Maryland corporation in 2007 to acquire and hold single-tenant, commercial real estate properties throughout the United States, substantially all of which are leased to the properties’ operators under long-term net leases. Under a “net lease,” the tenant occupying the leased property (usually as a single tenant) does so in much the same manner as if the tenant were the owner of the property. There are various forms of net leases, most typically classified as triple-net or double-net. Triple-net leases typically require that the tenant pay all expenses associated with the property (e.g., real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance, repairs, and capital costs). Double-net leases typically require that the tenant pay all operating expenses associated with the property (e.g., real estate taxes, insurance, and maintenance), but exclude some or all major repairs (e.g., roof, structure, and parking lot). Accordingly, the owner receives the rent “net” of these expenses, rendering the cash flow associated with the lease predictable for the term of the lease. Under a net lease, the tenant generally agrees to lease the property for a significant term and agrees that it will either have no ability, or only limited ability, to terminate the lease or abate rent prior to the expiration of the term of the lease as a result of real estate driven events such as casualty, condemnation, or failure by the landlord to fulfill its obligations under the lease. Substantially all of the properties in our portfolio are subject to net leases.

We focus on real estate that is operated by a single tenant where the real estate is an integral part of the tenant’s business. Our diversified portfolio of real estate includes retail properties (such as quick service and casual dining restaurants), healthcare facilities, industrial manufacturing facilities, warehouse and distribution centers, and corporate offices, among others. We target properties with credit-worthycreditworthy tenants that look to engage in a long-term lease relationship. Through long-term leases, our tenants are able to retain operational control of their mission critical locations, while conserving their debt and equity capital to fund their fundamental business operations.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, we owned a diversified portfolio of 583646 individual net leased commercial properties located in 42 states, and comprising approximately 18.020.3 million rentable square feet of operational space. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, all but three of our properties were 100% leased,subject to leases and 99.4%were 99.6% occupied by 142166 different commercial tenants, with no single tenant accounting for more than 4%3.3% of our annualcontractual rental stream.revenue over the next 12 months (“NTM Rent”).


We operate under the direction of our board of directors, which is responsible for the management and control of our affairs. Our board of directors has retained our sponsor, Broadstone Real Estate, LLC (the “Manager”), to provide certain property management services for our properties, and Broadstone Asset Management, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Manager (the “Asset Manager”), to manage our day-to-day affairs and implement our investment strategy, subject to our board of director’sdirectors’ direction, oversight, and approval.

We conduct substantially all of our activities through, and all of our properties are held directly or indirectly by, the Operating Company. We are the sole managing member of the Operating Company and as of September 30, 2018, we owned approximately 92.4% of its issued and outstanding membership units, with the remaining 7.6% held by persons who were issued membership units in exchange for their interests in properties acquired by the Operating Company.

As we conduct substantially all of our operations through the Operating Company, we are structured as what is referred to as an Umbrella Partnership Real Estate Investment Trustumbrella partnership real estate investment trust (“UPREIT”). The UPREIT structure allows a property owner to contribute their property to the Operating Company in exchange for membership units in the Operating Company and generally defer taxation of a resulting gain until the contributor later disposes of the membership units or the property is sold in a taxable transaction. The membership units of the Operating Company held by members of the Operating Company other than us are referred to herein and in our condensed consolidated financial statements as “non-controlling interests,” “non-controlling membership units,” or “membership units,” and are convertible into shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain restrictions. We allocate consolidated earnings to holders of our common stock and holders of non-controlling membership units based on the weighted average number of shares of our common stock and non-controlling membership units outstanding during the year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the weighted average number of non-controlling membership units outstanding was 1.45 million.

We commenced our ongoing private offering of shares of our common stock (our “private offering”) in 2007. The first closing of our private offering occurred on December 31, 2007, and we have conducted additional closings at least once every calendar quarter since then. Currently, wecurrently close sales of additional shares of our common stock monthly. In November 2017, we institutedon a monthly basis, subject to an equity cap and queue program for new and additional investments in our common stock.investments. The cap does not apply to investments made pursuant to our Distribution Reinvestment Plan (“DRIP”) or equity capital received in connection with UPREIT transactions. For the months of February 20182019 through June 2018,2019, new and additional investments were capped at $15.0$20 million per month. Based on anticipated acquisition activity,On July 3, 2019, we increasedannounced that we were removing the equity cap to $20.0 million for the monthsmonth of July August, September,2019 based on our current leverage profile and October 2018, and to $30.0 million forpipeline of potential acquisitions. We anticipate reinstating the monthsequity cap once we are comfortably within the leverage range of November 2018 through January 2019.the Company’s investment grade credit rating.

Shares of our common stock are currently being offered in our ongoing private offering at thea price equal to a Determined Share Value (as defined below) of $86.00$85 per share. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, we sold 1,771,1612.27 million shares of our common stock in our private offering, including 0.47 million367,604 shares of common stock issued pursuant to our DRIP. Cash received for newly issued shares totaled $120.0 million and shares with a value of $30.8 million were issued pursuant to DRIP for gross offering proceeds of approximately $186.3 million. In addition, we issued 194,035 membership units valued at $15.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.transactions. We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds from our ongoing private offering, supplemented with additional borrowings, to continue to invest in additional net leased properties and for general corporate purposes.

Subsequent to quarter end, on July 23, 2019, we entered into an agreement to acquire a portfolio of 23 fully leased industrial (warehouse, distribution, manufacturing and cold storage) and office/flex assets, for $735.7 million, excluding capitalized acquisition costs (the “Anticipated Transaction”). The portfolio comprises 6.9 million rentable square feet of operational space and is well diversified with 19 different tenants, and properties located in 14 states and British Columbia, Canada. The acquisition is expected to be funded through a combination of proceeds from our ongoing private offering of shares of our common stock, drawing the remaining $150 million commitment available under our 2026 Unsecured Term Loan (as described below), $300 million from the 2020 Unsecured Term Loan, and the balance funded from proceeds from our senior unsecured revolving credit facility.

For additional discussion of the Anticipated Transaction, see Note 17, “Subsequent Events” within the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements within Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Form 10-Q.

FFO and AFFO are performance measures that are not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We present these non-GAAP measures as we believe certain investors and other users of our financial information use them as part of evaluatingtheir evaluation of our historical operating performance. Please see ourSee discussion below under the heading Net Income and Non-GAAP Measures (FFO and AFFO), which includes discussion of the definition, purpose, and use of these non-GAAP measures as well as a reconciliation of each to the most comparable GAAP measure.



Our Properties and Investment Objectives

We target acquisitions of fee simple interests in individual properties priced between $5 million and $75 million. Property portfolios that we acquirePortfolios may be significantly larger, depending on our balance sheet capacity and whether the portfolio is diversified or concentrated by tenant, geography, or brand. Our investment policy (“Investment Policy”) has three primary objectives:

preserve, protect, and return capital to investors,

realize increased cash available for distributions and long-term capital appreciation from growth in the rental income and value of our properties, and

maximize the level of sustainable cash distributions to our investors.

We primarily acquire freestanding, single-tenant commercial properties located in the United States either directly from our credit-worthycreditworthy tenants in sale-leaseback transactions, where they sell us their properties and simultaneously lease them back through long-term, net leases, or through the purchase of properties already under a net lease (i.e.(i.e., a lease assumption). Under either scenario, our properties are generally under lease and fully occupied at the time of acquisition. We focus on properties in growth markets with at least ten years of lease term remaining that are expected to achieve financial returns on equity of greater than 9.5%, net of fees, calculated based on the average return recognized across all acquisitions during a calendar year, provided that, with certain exceptions provided for in our Investment Policy, all acquisitions must have a minimum remaining lease term of seven years and a minimum return on equity of 8.5%, net of fees, unless otherwise approved by the Independent Directors Committee. Our criteria for selecting properties are based on the following underwriting principles:

fundamental value and characteristics of the underlying real estate,

credit-worthinesscreditworthiness of the tenant, and

transaction structure and pricing.

We believe we can achieve an appropriate risk-adjusted return through these underwriting principles and conservatively project a property’s potential to generate targeted returns from current and future cash flows. We believe targeted returns are achieved through a combination of in-place income at the time of acquisition, rent growth, and a property’s potential for appreciation.


To achieve an appropriate risk-adjusted return, we maintain a diversified portfolio of real estate spread across multiple tenants, industries, and geographic locations. The following charts summarize our portfolio diversification by property type, tenant industry, and geographic location as of SeptemberJune 30, 2018.2019. The percentages below are calculated based on our contractual rental revenue over the next twelve months (“NTM Rent”)Rent as of SeptemberJune 30, 2018, on a per property type basis2019, divided by total NTM Rent. Late payments, non-payments, or other unscheduled payments are not considered in the calculation. NTM Rent includes the impact of contractual rent escalations.

Geographic Diversification, by % of NTM Rent

 


At SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, 99.8% of our portfolio’s rentable square footage, representing all but three of our properties, areis subject to leases,a lease, substantially all of which are net leases. We do not currently engage in the development of real estate, which could cause a delay in timing between the funds used to invest in properties and the corresponding cash inflows from rental receipts. Our cash flows from operations are primarily generated through our real estate investment portfolio and the monthly lease payments under our long-term leases with our tenants.To increase value to our stockholders, we strive to implement periodic rent escalations within our leases.

Due to the fact that substantially all of our properties are leased to single tenants under long-term leases, we are not currently required to perform significant ongoing leasing activities on our properties. The leases for only eightsix of our properties, representing less than 1% of our annual rental streams (calculated based on NTM Rent), will expire before 2021. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, the weighted average remaining term of our leases (calculated based on NTM Rent) was approximately 12.811.9 years, excluding renewal options, which are exercisable at the option of our tenants upon expiration of their base lease term. Less than 5%Approximately 4% of the properties in our portfolio are subject to leases without at least one renewal option. Furthermore, the weighted average remaining lease term on the $365.3$200.5 million in properties acquired during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, was 14.015.1 years at the time of acquisition. More than 56%57% of our rental revenue is derived from leases that expire during 2030 and thereafter. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018, not2019, no more than 9%9.4% of our rental revenue is derived from leases that expire in any single year in the decade between 2020 and 2030.next ten years. The following chart sets forth our lease expirations based upon the terms of our leases in place as of SeptemberJune 30, 2018.2019.

Lease Maturity Schedule, by % of NTM Rent

 


The following table presents the lease expirations by year, including the number of tenants and properties with leases expiring, the square footage covered by the leases expiring, the NTM Rent, and the percentage of NTM Rent for the leases expiring. Late payments, non-payments, or other unscheduled payments are not considered in the NTM Rent amounts. NTM Rent includes the impact of contractual rent escalations. Amounts are in thousands, except the number of tenants and properties.

We did not have any significant lease renewals during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Leverage Policy

Moody’s Investor ServicesInvestors Service (“Moody’s”) has assigned the Operating Company an investment grade credit rating of Baa3 with a stable outlook, which allows us to take advantage of preferential borrowing margins and provides more attractive access to the debt markets.markets, including the debt private placement market. The Operating Company’s credit rating is based on a number of factors, including an assessment of our financial strength, portfolio size and diversification, credit and operating metrics, corporate governance policies, and sustainability of cash flowsflow and earnings. We are strongly committed to maintaining modest leverage, commensurate with our investment grade rating. While Moody’s utilizes other factors outside of our leverage ratio in assigning ratings, we are strongly committed to maintaining a modest leverage profile commensurate with our investment grade rating. Our leverage policy (“Leverage Policy”) is to maintain a leverage ratio in the 35% to 45% range based on the approximate market value of our assets, recognizing that the actual leverage ratio willmay vary over time and there may be opportunistic reasons to exceed a 45% leverage ratio; provided, however, that we cannot exceed a 50% leverage ratio without the approval of the Independent Directors Committee.

The Independent Directors Committee reviews our Leverage Policy at least annually; however, depending on market conditions and other factors, they may change our Leverage Policy from time to time.


To reduce itsour exposure to variable-rate debt, the Operating Company enterswe enter into interest rate swap agreements to fix the rate of interest as a hedge against interest rate fluctuations.fluctuations on floating-rate debt. These interest rate hedges have staggered maturities to reduce the exposure to interest rate fluctuations in any one year, and generally extend up to 10 years. The interest rate swaps are applied against a pool of variable-rate debt, which offers flexibility in maintaining our hedge designation concurrent with our ongoing capital markets activity. We attempt to limit our total exposure to floating-rate debt to no more than 5% of the approximate market value of totalour assets, measured at quarter end.

We strategically use the fixed-rate, debt private placement market to help mitigate interest rate risk, lengthen our maturity profile, and diversify our sources of debt capital. At September 30, 2018, we had $475.0 million of unsecured senior notes outstanding.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, our total outstanding indebtedness was $1,310.3$1,475.1 million, and the ratio of our total indebtedness to the approximate market value of our assets was 40.3%40.2%.

Determined Share Value

OurWe sell shares of our common stock are sold by us in our ongoing private offering at a price equal to a determined share value (the “Determined Share Value”), which is established at least quarterly by the Independent Directors Committee based on the net asset value (“NAV”) of our portfolio, input from management and third-party consultants, and such other factors as the Independent Directors Committee may determine. Shares of our common stock are also sold pursuant to our DRIP, and repurchased by us pursuant to our share redemption program, at a price based upon the Determined Share Value. For additional information regarding our valuation policy and procedures, please see the section titled Determined Share Value in Part II, Item 5. “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities” of our Form 10-K.

The adjustments to NAV per diluted share in arriving at the Determined Share Value for the periods presented above account for the inherent imprecision in the valuation estimates. In FebruaryNovember 2019, the Independent Directors Committee will review the NAV per diluted share calculations as of December 31, 2018,September 30, 2019, and will assess whether adjustments to the current Determined Share Value of $86.00 are appropriate.

While we believe our assumptions are reasonable, a change in these assumptions would impact the calculation of the value of our real estate investments. For example, assuming all other factors remain unchanged, an increase in the weighted average implied market capitalization rate used as of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, of 0.25%, would result in a decrease in the fair value of our investment in rental property of 3.6%, and our NAV per diluted share would have been $80.64.$79.47. Conversely, a decrease in the weighted average implied market capitalization rate used as of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, of 0.25% would result in an increase in the fair value of our investment in rental property of 3.8%3.9%, and our NAV per diluted share would have been $91.06.$90.29.

For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, we paid distributions from our cash flow from operating activities. Refer to Net Income and Non-GAAP Measures (FFO and AFFO) below for further discussion of our FFO.

We intend to fund future distributions from cash generated by operations; however, we may fund distributions from the sale of assets, borrowings, or proceeds from the sale of our securities.


Liquidity and CapitalCapital Resources

General

We acquire real estate withusing a combination of debt and equity capital and with cash from operations that is not otherwise distributed to our stockholders. Our focus is on maximizing the risk-adjusted return to our stockholders through an appropriate balance of debt and equity in our capital structure. Therefore, we attempt to maintain a conservative debt level on our balance sheet with appropriate interest and fixed charge coverage ratios. We target a leverage ratioprofile, with total debt equal to 35% to 45% of the approximate market value of our assets. We believe our current leverage model has allowed us to take advantage of the lower cost of debt while simultaneously strengthening our balance sheet, as evidenced by the Operating Company’sour investment grade credit rating. Our actual leverage ratio will vary over time but may not exceed 50% without the approval of the Independent Directors Committee. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, the leverage ratio was 40.3%40.2% of the approximate market value of our assets. From a management perspectiveManagement and in communications with theour credit rating agencies we also consider our leverage position as a multiple of Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), a non-GAAP financial measure. EBITDA is a toolmetric we use to measure leverage in the context of our cash flow expectations and projections. However, givenGiven the significance of our recent growth, however, adding $365.3$200.5 million in investments during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019, $606.8 million in investments during 2018, and $683.6 million in investments during 2017, and $518.8 million in investments during 2016, coupled with our continued strategic growth initiatives, historical EBITDA may not provide investors with an adequate picture of the contractual cash in-flowsinflows associated with these investments. Our investments are typically made throughout the year (with a significant portion typically occurring in the second halffourth quarter of the year), and therefore the full year,full-year, or “normalized,” cash flows will not be realized until subsequent years. Accordingly, we look at contractual, “normalized,” cash flows and EBITDA as an appropriate toolmetric to manage our leverage profile. We utilize this analysis inclusive of our focus on debt-to-market value metrics. We anticipate that our leverage ratio will increase as a result of the incremental borrowings associated with funding the Anticipated Transaction discussed above. We intend to begin working to reduce our leverage profile in the near term, to a range within the leverage profile consistent with our investment grade credit rating, using a combination of proceeds from our ongoing private offering of shares of our common stock and increasing disposition activity. As a result of our announcement of the Anticipated Transaction, Moody’s affirmed our investment grade credit rating and stable outlook.

Liquidity

Our primary cash expenditures areinclude the monthly interest payments we make on the debt we use to finance our real estate investment portfolio, asset management and property management fees forof servicing the portfolio, acquisition expensescosts related to the growth of our portfolio, and the general and administrative expenses of operating our business. Since substantially all of our leases are net leases, our tenants are generally responsible for the maintenance, insurance, and property taxes and capital costs associated with the properties they lease from us. In certain circumstances, the terms of the lease require us to pay these expenses, however,although, in most cases we are reimbursed by the tenants. Accordingly, we do not currently anticipate making significant capital expenditures or incurring other significant property costs on an aggregate basis during the term of athe property lease, unless we incur substantial vacancies.leases in our current portfolio. To the extent that we have vacant properties, we will incur certain costs to operate and maintain the properties, however, we do not currently expect these costs to be material.

As shown in the table below, net cash provided by operating activities increased by approximately $21.1$6.0 million, to $93.5$64.7 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, from $72.4$58.7 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017. The increase in cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to the increase in the size of our real estate investment portfolio. Our real estate investing activities have grown in volume as we continue to identify favorable investment opportunities.2018. We funded real estate investment activity with a combination of cash from operations, proceeds from the issuance ofour unsecured debt obligationsrevolving credit agreements, and proceeds from the issuance of common stock. We paid cash dividends to our stockholders and holders of non-controlling membership units net of reinvestments through our DRIP, totaling $45.0$34.2 million and $38.2$30.0 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively. Cash used to fund the increase inThe increased dividends between periods relatedwere primarily to the increase infunded by cash provided by our operations. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $28.0$12.7 million and $14.6$20.8 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019 and 2017,2018, respectively.

As of September 30, 2018, the historical cost basis of our real estate investment portfolio totaled $2.49 billion, consisting of investments in 583 properties with rent and interest due from our tenants aggregating $18.5 million per month on a straight-line basis and $16.4 million per month in monthly cash inflows for the first nine months of the year. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we closed 15 real estate acquisitions totaling $365.3 million, excluding capitalized acquisition expenses, adding 70 new properties to our portfolio. The new properties will provide approximately $2.4 million in monthly rent on a straight-line basis and $2.1 million in monthly cash rents.

Substantially all of our cash from operations is generated by our real estate portfolio. As of June 30, 2019, the historical cost basis of our real estate investment portfolio totaled $2,804.1 million, consisting of investments in 646 properties. During the first six months of  2019, our portfolio generated monthly straight-line rent revenues of approximately $21.4 million, and monthly contractual cash revenues of approximately $19.7 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we closed 10 real estate acquisitions totaling $200.5 million, excluding capitalized acquisition costs, adding 34 new properties to our portfolio. We currently expect the new properties will generate approximately $1.4 million in monthly straight-line rent revenues and approximately $1.3 million in monthly contractual cash revenues over the next twelve months.


Capital Resources

We intend to continue to grow through additional real estate investments. To accomplish this objective, we must continue to identify acquisitions that are consistent with our underwriting guidelinesinvestment policy and raise additional debt and equity capital. We have financed our acquisition of properties using a combination of debt and equity investments, unsecured term loans, revolving debt, senior unsecured notes, and mortgage loans.capital. We seek to maintain an appropriate balance of debt and equity capital in our overall leverage policy, while maintaining a focus on increasing core value for existing stockholders, (achieved viawhich we seek to achieve through earnings growth and share price appreciation).

appreciation. The mix of our financing sources may change over time based on market conditions and our liquidity needs.

Equity Capital Resources

Equity capital for our real estate acquisition activity is provided by the proceeds of our ongoing private offering, including distributions reinvested through our DRIP. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we raised $150.8 million in equity capital to be used in our acquisition activities, of which $120.0 million was received through new cash investments and $30.8 million was raised through our DRIP.

Debt Capital Resources

Debt capital is provided through unsecured term notes, revolving debt facilities, and senior unsecured notes. We also, from time to time, obtain or assume non-recourse mortgage financing from banks and insurance companies secured by mortgages on the corresponding specific property. Mortgages, however, are not currently a strategic focus of the active management of our leverage profile. Rather, we enter into mortgages and notes payable as ancillary business transactions on an as-needed basis, most often as the result of lease assumption transactions.

The availability of debt to finance commercial real estate can be impacted by economic and other factors that are beyond our control. We seek to reduce the risk that long-term debt capital may be unavailable to us by strengthening our balance sheet through our investmentsby investing in real estate with credit-worthycreditworthy tenants and lease guarantors, and by maintaining an appropriate mix of debt and equity capitalization. Specifically, we recognized a 99+%rent collection rate on rentalsof greater than 99% during 2017 and for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018. Moody’s assignment2019 and reaffirmations of an investment grade credit rating of Baa3 to the Operating Company is further evidence of our active management of a conservative capital structure.2018. As we grow our real estate portfolio, we also intend to manage our debt maturities to reduce the risk that a significant amount of our debt will come duemature in any single year.year in the future. For example, during the thirdfirst quarter of 2018,2019, we repaid a portion of our Revolver and 2015used proceeds from the longer-term 2026 Unsecured Term Loan Agreement (each as defined below), replacing those borrowings with a portion of our longer maturity Series B Notes and Series C Notes (as defined below) to repay a shorter-term unsecured term loan that had been due in 2019 (the “2019 Unsecured Term Loan”). Refer to Contractual Obligations below for further details regardingof the maturities on our contractual obligations, including long-term debt maturities.

The Operating CompanyWe achieved itsour investment grade credit rating of Baa3 based on our conservative leverage profile, diversified real estate investment portfolio, and earnings stability based onprovided by the credit-worthinesscreditworthiness of our tenants, which we intend to maintain concurrent with our growth objectives. Factors that could negatively impact our credit rating include, but are not limited to: a significant increase in our leverage on a sustained basis, a significant increase in the proportion of secured debt levels, a significant decline in our unencumbered asset base, weakening of our corporate governance structure, and a significant decline in our real estate portfolio diversification. We have aligned our strategic growth priorities with these factors, as we believe the favorable debt pricing and access to additionalmultiple sources of debt capital resulting from the investment grade credit rating, provideprovides us with an advantageous cost of capital and risk-adjusted return on investment for our stockholders.

2026 Unsecured Term Loan

On February 27, 2019, we entered into a $450 million seven-year unsecured term loan agreement (the “2026 Unsecured Term Loan”). At closing, we borrowed $300 million and used the proceeds to fully repay our 2019 Unsecured Term Loan. The 2026 Unsecured Term Loan includes an accordion feature that can increase the facility size up to a total of $550 million of available capacity. Borrowings under the 2026 Unsecured Term Loan are payable interest only during the term, with the principal amount due on February 27, 2026. The rate of interest payable on borrowings under the 2026 Unsecured Term Loan, at our option, is equal to LIBOR plus a margin. Based on our investment grade credit rating, the applicable margin is currently 1.85%.

The Revolver contains one extension option that would extend the maturity date by five months, to June 21, 2022, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Credit Facility, including payment of an extension fee equal to 0.0625% of the revolving commitments.


Senior Notes

At September 30, 2018, we had $225.0 million of unsecured, fixed-rate, interest-only Series B Notes and $100.0 million of unsecured, fixed-rated, interest only Series C Notes outstanding. In addition, we had $150.0 million of unsecured, fixed-rate, interest-only senior promissory notes issued in April 2017 (the “Series A Notes”) outstanding. The Series A Notes bear interest at LIBOR plus a fixed rate of 4.84% per annum,spread ranging between 0.85% and mature in April 2027.

20151.65%. Based on our current investment grade credit rating, the spread for initial borrowings under the 2020 Unsecured Term Loan Agreementis 1.25%.

At September 30, 2018 we had outstanding a $300.0 million unsecured term note (“2015 Unsecured Term Loan Agreement”). The 2015 Unsecured Term Loan Agreement matures on February 6, 2019, and provides for two one-year extension options, at our option, subject to compliance with all covenants and the payment of a 0.10% fee. The 2015 Unsecured Term Loan Agreement contains an accordion feature that can increase the note size by up to $275 million.

Debt Covenants

We are subject to various covenants and financial reporting requirements pursuant to the loan agreements we have entered into. The table below summarizes the applicable financial covenants, which are substantially the same across each of our loan agreements. As of September 30, 2018, we were in compliance with all of our covenants. In the event of default, either through default on payments or breach of covenants, we may be prohibited from paying dividends on our common stock above the annual 90% REIT taxable income distribution requirement. For each of the previous three years, we paid dividends out of our cash flows from operations in excess of the required distribution amounts.

(1)

The leverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of total indebtedness to total market value. Total market value is computed as the net operating income for the most recently completed fiscal quarter on properties owned for four consecutive quarters at a capitalization rate of 7.50%, multiplied by four, plus the acquisition price of properties in the last four quarters, plus tangible assets comprised of current assets on a GAAP basis and notes receivable.

(2)

The secured indebtedness ratio is the ratio of secured indebtedness to total market value. The secured indebtedness represents outstanding mortgage borrowings.

(3)

The unencumbered coverage ratio is the ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined within the respective loan agreement) to interest expense for the most recent fiscal quarter. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization, interest, taxes, gain/loss on sale of properties, dividend income, gain/loss on debt extinguishment, straight-line rent adjustments, transaction costs expensed, amortization of intangibles, and interest rate swap ineffectiveness, if applicable.

(4)

The fixed charge coverage ratio is the ratio of adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges for the most recent fiscal quarter. Fixed charges are calculated as interest expense plus any principal payments on debt, excluding balloon payments, if applicable.  

(5)

The total unsecured indebtedness to total unencumbered eligible property value ratio is calculated as the ratio of total unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered property value. Unsecured indebtedness represents the outstanding balances on the revolver, term notes and Senior Notes. Unencumbered eligible property value includes all real estate properties that are not secured by mortgages.

Capital Strategy

We believe our leverage policy and capital structure providesprovide us with several advantages, including the ability to:

create a growing and diversified real estate portfolio with a flexible capital structure that allows for independent investing and financing decisions;

capitalize on competitive debt pricing;

add value to our investorsstockholders through earnings growth onvia a growing pool of assets; and

issue unsecured debt having relatively limited negative financial covenants and maintain the distributions necessary to retain our tax-sheltered REIT status in the event of contractual default, which we believe increases our corporate flexibility.


We intend to exercise the extension provisions of our debt instruments, refinance, or replace the existing borrowings as they become due, including viathrough additional private debt placements, all with the goal of limiting future debt service to interest payments only. As a result, we do not intend to make principal payments on ourthese debt obligations forin the foreseeable future. Additionally, we may be required to increase our borrowing capacity to partially fund future acquisitions.acquisitions, including the Anticipated Transaction. We assess market conditions and the availability and pricing of debt on an ongoing basis, which are critical inputs in our strategic planning and decision-making process. While we believe the current market conditions provide our stockholders with an advantageous capitalization structure and risk-adjusted return, we believe our conservative capital structure is appropriate to absorb temporary market fluctuations. Significant adverse market conditions could impact the availability of debt to fund future acquisitions, our ability to recognize growth in earnings and return on investment for stockholders, and our ability to recast the debt facilities at cost-advantageous pricing points. In the event of such conditions, we would plan to revise our capitalization structure and strategic initiatives to maximize return on investment for our investors. To the extent that we are unable to recast our debt facilities, our cash


flows from operations will not be adequate to pay the principal amount of debt, and we may be forced to liquidate properties to satisfy our obligations.

We believe that the cash generated by our operations and our ongoing private offering, our cash and cash equivalents at SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, our current borrowing capacity under our unsecured credit facility,Credit Facility and accordion feature of the 2026 Unsecured Term Loan, and our access to long-term debt capital, including through the debt private placement market, will be sufficient to fund our operations for the foreseeable future and allow us to acquire the real estate necessary to achievemeet our strategic objectives.

Impact of Inflation

OurThe leases with tenants ofin our propertiesportfolio are long-term in nature, with a current weighted average remaining lease term of 12.811.9 years as of SeptemberJune 30, 2018.2019. To mitigate the impact of inflation on our fixed revenue streams, we have implemented limited rent escalation clauses in our leases. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018, nearly2019, substantially all of our leases had contractual lease escalations, with aan annual weighted average of 2.0%. A substantial majority of our leases have fixed annual rent increases and the remainder have annual lease escalations based on increases in the consumer price index (“CPI”), or periodic escalations over the term of the lease (e.g., a 10% increase every five years)., and the remaining portion has annual lease escalations based on increases in the CPI. These lease escalations mitigate the risk of earnings erosion on ourfixed revenue streams in the case of an inflationary economic environment, and provide increased return in otherwise stable market conditions. As a majority of our portfolio has fixed lease escalations, there is a risk that inflation could be greater than the contractual rent increases.

Our focus on single-tenant, triple-netnet leases also shelters us from inflationary fluctuations in the cost of services and maintenance as a result of inflation.maintenance. For a portion of our portfolio, we have leases that are not fully triple-net, and, therefore, we bear certain responsibilities for the maintenance and structural component replacements (e.g., roof, structure, or parking lot) that may be required in the future, although the tenants are still required to pay all operating expenses associated with the property (e.g., real estate taxes, insurance, and maintenance). Inflation and increased costs may have an adverse impact toon our tenants and their credit-worthinesscreditworthiness if the increase in costs areis greater than their increase in revenue. In the limited circumstances whereWhere we cannot implement a triple-net lease, we attempt to limit our exposure to inflation through the use of warranties and other remedies that reduce the likelihood of a significant capital outlay.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, or December 31, 2017.2018.

As part of acquiring rental properties, we may enter into tenant improvement allowances. As of September 30, 2018, tenant improvement allowances totaled $2.9 million. We expect to pay the tenant improvement allowances out of cash flows from operations or from additional borrowings.

At SeptemberJune 30, 2018, investment2019, investment in rental property of $140.6$195.5 million is pledged as collateral against our mortgages and notes payable.


Additionally, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, we are a party to three separate Tax Protection Agreements (the “Agreements”) with the contributing members (the “Protected Members”) of three distinct UPREIT transactions conducted in November 2015, February 2016, and October 2017.transactions. The Agreements require us to pay monetary damages in the event of a sale, exchange, transfer, or other disposal of the contributed property in a taxable transaction that would cause a Protected Member to recognize a Protected Gain, as defined in the Agreements, subject to certain exceptions. AsBased on values as of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, taxable sales of the maximum aggregate amount we may be liable forapplicable properties would trigger liability under the Agreements isof approximately $12.3 million. Based on information available, we do not believe that the events resulting in damages as detailed above have occurred or are likely to occur in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, we have excluded these commitments from the contractual commitments table above. SeeFor a more detailed discussion of the Tax Protection Agreements, insee Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Contractual Obligations”, in our Form 10-K.

Results of Operations

Overview

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, our real estate investment portfolio had grown to a net book value of $2.49 billion,$2,804.1 million, consisting of investments in 583 property646 commercial real estate properties with locations in 42 states and leased to tenants in various industries. All but three of our real estate investment portfolio represents commercial real estate properties subject to long-term leases, all of our owned properties were subject to a lease as of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, and substantially all of our leasing activity related to our real estate acquisitions. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, a tenant renewed one lease that had been set to expire in 2018. The lease renewal was immaterial to our portfolio of real estate and results of operations.

Total lease revenues increased to $61.8$69.1 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, compared to $46.2$57.0 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. The increase in revenue period-over-periodperiod-over-period is primarily attributable to the growth in our real estate portfolio.portfolio, which was achieved through rent escalations associated with our same property portfolio, coupled with rental revenue generated during the first six months of 2019 from accretive property acquisitions completed since the second quarter of 2018, and continued strong portfolio operating performance. We acquired $683.6$606.8 million in real estate throughout 2017,in 2018, excluding capitalized acquisition expenses.costs. These properties provide annual straight-line rental incomerevenue of $56.1approximately $47.4 million, or $14.0$11.8 million per quarter. In addition, during the first and second quartersquarter of 2018,2019, we acquired $254.8$73.1 million of real estate, excluding capitalized acquisition expenses,costs, which provided $4.8$1.5 million of straight-line rental incomerevenue in the thirdsecond quarter. These incremental revenues were offset mainly by the effect of revenues associated with properties we have disposed of subsequent to the second quarter of 2018. The acquisitions occurringclosed during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019, did not materially impact reported rental income, due to their timing. However, they are expected to provide approximately $2.7 million of straight-line rental revenue in the timing of acquisitions. These incremental revenues were somewhat offset by the elimination of revenues associated with properties that we have recently sold.third quarter. The rental rates we receive on sale-leaseback transactions and lease assumptions on the various types of properties we target across the United States vary from transaction to transaction based on many factors, such as the terms of the lease, each property’s real estate fundamentals, and the market rents in the area. The initial cash capitalization rate on acquisitions madeclosed during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, was 7.48%7.4%.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased to $21.9$25.3 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, compared to $15.6$20.2 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. The increase is primarily due to the growth in our real estate portfolio, as discussed above.

Asset management fees

Asset management fees increased to $4.7$5.3 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, compared to $3.8$4.3 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. We pay the Asset Manager a quarterly fee equal to 0.25% of the aggregate value of our equity on a fully diluted basis, based on the Determined Share Value. The increase in asset management fees during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, compared to the comparable period in 2017,2018, is the result of an increase in our total outstanding equity on a fully diluted basis, combined with an increase in the Determined Share Value.


The $85.00$86.00 Determined Share Value in effect as of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, reflected an increase of 6.3%3.6% from the $80.00$83.00 Determined Share Value in effect as ofSeptember June 30, 2017.2018. Additionally, the number of shares of our common stock and non-controlling membership units outstanding increased as the result of continued equity capital investments. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, there were 22.8125.5 million shares of our common stock and non-controlling membership units outstanding, compared to 20.4622.0 million as of December 31, 2017 and 19.79 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. The increase in equity capital was used to partially fund the continued growth in our real estate portfolio.

Property and operating expense

Property and operating expense increased to $2.8$3.3 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, compared to $2.0$2.5 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. The increase is mainly attributable to the number of properties we own for which we are responsible for engaging a third-party property manager to manage ongoing property maintenance, along with insurance and real estate taxes associated with those properties. TheseA majority of these expenses are paid by us and reimbursed by the tenant under the terms of the respective leases. There was a corresponding increase in operating expenses billed to tenants and included within Lease revenues.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased to $16.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $12.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increased interest expense resulted from a $185.8 million increase in overall borrowings used to partially fund new acquisitions, as well as an increase in our weighted average interest rate. We continue to strengthen our balance sheet by more closely aligning debt maturities and lease terms, accomplished through the refinancing of shorter-term borrowings with longer duration fixed-rate debt. Immediately following the second quarter of 2018, we refinanced our outstanding Revolver borrowings with our fixed rate Series B and Series C Notes, providing for an additional six and eight years of duration, respectively, beyond the Revolver maturity. Extending our debt maturity profile increased our weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings from 3.84% at June 30, 2018 to 4.26% at June 30, 2019, inclusive of our interest rate swaps.

Gain on sale of real estate

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized gains of $2.8 million on the sale of five properties, compared to gains of $4.3 million on the sale of six properties during the three months ended June 30, 2018. Our recognition of a gain or loss on the sale of real estate varies from transaction to transaction based on fluctuations in asset prices and demand in the real estate market.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased to $49.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $39.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase is primarily due to the growth in our real estate portfolio, as described in the discussion related to the three months ended June 30, 2019, above.

Asset management fees

Asset management fees increased to $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $8.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. As described in the discussion above related to the three months ended June 30, 2019, the increase in asset management fees during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the comparable period in 2018, is a result of an increase in our outstanding equity on a fully diluted basis, combined with the increase in the Determined Share Value.

Property and operating expense

Property and operating expense increased to $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase is attributable to the number of properties we own for which we are responsible for engaging a third-party property manager to manage ongoing property maintenance, along with insurance and real estate taxes associated with those properties. A majority of these expenses are paid by us and reimbursed by the tenant under the terms of the respective leases. There was a corresponding increase in the operating expenses reimbursed bybilled to tenants balance included in totalwithin Lease revenues.

Provision for impairment of investment in rental properties

During the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, we recognized $2.1$1.0 million of impairment on our investments in rental properties. We review long-lived assets to be held and used for possible impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If and when such events or changes in circumstances are present, an impairment exists to the extent the carrying value of the asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset or asset group and its eventual disposition. The impairment recognized during the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, related to five propertiesa single property whose carrying amountsamount we determined werewas not recoverable. In determining the fair value of the assets at the time of measurement, we utilized a capitalization rates ranging from 7.50% to 10%rate of 14.6%, and a weighted average discount rate of 8%. DuringWe did not recognize any impairment during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased to $14.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $9.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, due primarily to an increase in unsecured long-term borrowings in each of the periods. Total outstanding debt on our unsecured credit facilities and unsecured Senior Notes, excluding capitalized debt issuance costs, increased from $851.5 million at September 30, 2017, to $1,230.0 million at September 30, 2018, reflecting net increased borrowings under our Credit Facility, as well as to the issuance of the Series B Notes and Series C Notes.

Cost of debt extinguishment

Cost of debt extinguishment decreased to $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The cost of debt extinguishment represents the difference between the price paid to extinguish the debt compared to the carrying value of the debt, plus any unamortized debt acquisition costs at the time of extinguishment. To the extent that the price paid to extinguish the debt is greater than the carrying value of debt, we would recognize a loss (cost) on extinguishment. The loss would be increased by the amount of previously capitalized debt acquisition costs that remain unamortized at the time of extinguishment. These amounts fluctuate period-over-period based on the variability in the interest rate environment, changes in financial institutions’ credit standards, and our activity in capital markets to manage our leverage position.


Gain on sale of real estate

During the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, we recognized gains of $2.0$4.2 million on the sale of real estate,nine properties, compared to gains of $4.1$7.6 million on the sale of 11 properties during the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017. We sold four properties in both periods.2018. Our recognition of a gain or loss on the sale of real estate varies from transaction to transaction based on fluctuations in asset prices and demand in the real estate market.

Gain on sale of investment in related party

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we sold our investment of 100 non-voting convertible preferred units of our Manager, a related party. The preferred units were sold to another related party of the Manager. The preferred units were sold for an aggregate sales price of $18.5 million and had a carrying value of $10.0 million at the time of sale, resulting in a gain of $8.5 million. Prior to the sale, we received preferred distribution income on the preferred units.

Depreciation and amortization increased to $61.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $45.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase is primarily due to the growth in our real estate portfolio, as discussed in Results of OperationsFor the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 — Revenues above.


Asset management fees

Asset management fees increased to $13.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $10.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in asset management fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the comparable period in 2017, is a result of an increase in our outstanding equity on a fully diluted basis, combined with the increase in the Determined Share Value.

The $85.00 per share Determined Share Value in effect as of September 30, 2018, reflected an increase of 6.3% from the $80.00 per share Determined Share Value in effect as of September 30, 2017. Additionally, the number of shares of our common stock and non-controlling membership units outstanding increased as the result of continued equity capital investments. As of September 30, 2018, there were 22.81 million shares of our common stock and non-controlling membership units outstanding, compared to 20.46 million as of December 31, 2017 and 19.79 million as of September 30, 2017. The increase in equity capital was used to partially fund the continued growth in our real estate portfolio.

Property and operating expense

Property and operating expense increased to $7.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase is attributable to the number of properties we own for which we are responsible for engaging a third-party property manager to manage ongoing property maintenance, along with insurance and real estate taxes associated with those properties.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased to $38.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $25.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, due primarily to an increase in long-term borrowings used to partially fund the acquisition of properties for our growing real estate investment portfolio. This primarily reflected the issuance of the Series A Notes in April 2017 and the Series B Notes and Series C Notes in 2018, along with increased borrowings under our Credit Facility, which was renegotiated on June 23, 2017. In addition, interest expense reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was reduced by a $1.2 million gain related to the termination of an interest rate swap that occurred concurrent with the paydown of a mortgage.

Cost of debt extinguishment

Cost of debt extinguishment decreased to $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The fluctuation is a direct result of our closing the $880 million Credit Facility on June 23, 2017, concurrent with the extinguishment of prior existing debt. There was no similar transaction during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Net Income and Non-GAAP Measures (FFO and AFFO)

Our reported results and net earnings per diluted share are presented in accordance with GAAP. We also disclose FFO and AFFO, each of which are non-GAAP measures. We believe the presentation of FFO and AFFO 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 should not be considered alternatives to net income as a performance measure or to cash flows from operations, as reported on our statement of cash flows, or as a liquidity measure, and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures.

We compute FFO in accordance with the standards established by the 2002 White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of Nareit, the worldwide representative voice for REITs and publicly traded real estate companies with an interest in the U.S. real estate and capital markets..markets. Nareit defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude net gains (losses) from sales of certain depreciated real estate assets, depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control, and impairment charges related to certain previously depreciated real estate assets. To derive AFFO, we modify the Nareit computation of FFO to include other adjustments to GAAP net income related to certain non-cash revenues and expenses, including straight-line rents, cost of debt extinguishments, acquisition expenses, amortization of lease intangibles, amortization of debt issuance costs, amortization of net mortgage premiums, (gain) loss on interest rate swaps and other non-cash interest expense, extraordinary items, and other specified non-cash items. We believe that such items are not a result of normal operations and thus we believe excluding such items assists management and investors in distinguishing whether changes in our operations are due to growth or decline of operations at our properties or from other factors.


Our leases include cash rents that increase over the term of the lease to compensate us for anticipated increases in market rentals over time. Our leases do not include significant front-loading or back-loading of payments, or significant rent-free periods. Therefore, we find it useful to evaluateevaluate rent on a contractual basis as it allows for comparison of existing rental rates to market rental rates. We further exclude costs or gains recorded on the extinguishment of debt, non-cash interest expense and gains, and the amortization of debt issuance costs, net mortgage premiums, and lease intangibles, as these items are not indicative of ongoing operational results. We use AFFO as a measure of our performance when we formulate corporate goals.

FFO is used by management, investors, and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers, primarily because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are 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. We believe that AFFO is a useful supplemental measure for investors to consider because it will help them to better assess our operating performance without the distortions created by non-cash revenues or expenses. FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other REITs, and comparisons of our FFO and AFFO with the same or similar measures disclosed by other REITs may not be meaningful.


Neither the SEC nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO and AFFO. In the future, the SEC, Nareit or another regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the REIT industry and in response to such standardization we may have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO and AFFO accordingly.

Net Income, FFO, and AFFO for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and 20172018

The following table presents our net income and our non-GAAP FFO and AFFO for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and 2017.2018. Our measures of FFO and AFFO are computed on the basis of amounts attributable to both us and non-controlling interests. As the non-controlling interests share in our net income on a one-for-one basis, the basic and diluted per share amounts are the same.

Net income

Net income increasedAs compared to $23.1 million forthe same period in 2018, revenue growth during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018, compared to $13.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Net earnings per diluted share increased $0.35 per share during the same period, to $1.03 per share. The increase in net income is mainly attributable to increased operating income, reflecting the net growth in the number of investments in real estate properties in our portfolio, as discussed in Results of OperationsFor the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 — Revenues above. This portfolio growth generated increased revenues which were2019, was partially offset by increasedan increase in depreciation and amortization, asset management and property management expenses. Additional contributing factors to net income growth were an $8.5 million gain on saleexpenses, and property and operating expenses, all of an investment inwhich are associated with a related party in 2018, for which there was no comparable transaction in 2017, and decreased impairment chargeslarger real estate portfolio, as compared to the prior-year period. These factors were partially offset bywell as increased interest expense and decreased gains on the sale of real estate.

The increased interest expense resulted from a $185.8 million increase in overall borrowings used to partially fund new acquisitions, as well as an increase in our weighted average interest rate. We continue to strengthen our balance sheet by more closely aligning debt maturities and lease terms, accomplished through the refinancing of shorter-term borrowings with longer duration fixed-rate debt. Immediately following the second quarter of 2018, we refinanced our outstanding Revolver borrowings with our fixed rate Series B and Series C Notes, providing for an additional six and eight years of duration, respectively, beyond the Revolver maturity. Extending our debt maturity profile increased our weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings from 3.84% at June 30, 2018, to 4.26% at June 30, 2019, inclusive of our interest rate swaps.

GAAP net income includes items such as gain or loss on sale of real estate in 2018, as comparedand provisions for impairment, among others, which can vary from quarter to 2017. See further discussion in Resultsquarter and impact period-to-period comparisons. The gain on sale of OperationsForreal estate decreased $1.5 million during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019, as compared to the same period in 2018.

Our per share results were negatively impacted by funding a larger portion of our acquisitions with equity and 2017— Other income (expenses), above.

The per-share impactrecycling proceeds from property dispositions. We actively manage our leverage profile and overall liquidity position, and use a monthly equity cap to balance the mix of increased net incomeequity and debt capital used to fund acquisitions. We maintained a $20 million cap on new equity investments during the six months ended June 30, 2019, and removed the cap for new investments beginning in the numeratormonth of July 2019, based on our pipeline of potential acquisitions, including the Anticipated Transaction for $735.7 million. Based on the timing difference between equity inflows managed through the cap and expected deployment into accretive acquisitions, our leverage ratio decreased to 40.2% as of June 30, 2019, compared to 41.4% as of June 30, 2018. Upon closing the Anticipated Transaction, we expect a short-term increase in leverage, and a corresponding positive impact to our results of operations based on the accretive nature of the earnings per share calculation was somewhat offset byinvestment and the effectrelative cost of debt to equity. Consistent with our growth priorities and commitment to maintaining an increase in the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the denominator. The increase in the diluted weighted average number of shares reflected shares issued as part ofinvestment grade balance sheet, we are committed to continuing to actively manage our ongoing equity raises. We use proceeds from the sale of stock to partially fund acquisitions of real estate, which contributed to the increased revenues discussed above.leverage profile and overall liquidity position.


FFO and AFFO

The 15.9% increase in FFO increased to $45.0 million forand the 14.8% increase in AFFO during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, as compared to $27.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. FFO per diluted share increased to $2.02 per diluted share, compared to $1.42 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increasesame period in FFO is2018, was primarily due to the factors associated withdriven by revenue growth in our real estate portfolio,investment portfolio. As discussed above, which were factors accounting for anthis resulted from rent escalations associated with our same property portfolio, accretive acquisitions made since the second quarter of 2018, and strong portfolio operating performance. The increase in net income. Growth in FFOrevenues was greater than growth in net income, as there was a smaller deduction from net income in the three months ended September 30, 2018, related to gains on the sale of real estate as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017. These factors were partially offset by increased interest expense, as discussed above, a result of extending our debt maturity profile. Consistent with the decrease in asset impairment charges in the three months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017, which are added back when computing FFO. The impact of the increase in FFO in the numerator of theearnings per share, FFO per share computation was partially mitigated by the increase in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the denominator.

AFFO

AFFO increased to $31.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $24.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. AFFO per diluted share increased to $1.40 per diluted share in the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $1.30 per diluted share in the three months ended September 30, 2017. As compared to the increase in FFO, the lower year-over-year growth in AFFOremained constant with, and AFFO per diluted share was mainly due todecreased from, the comparable period in 2018 as a $8.5 million gain on saleresult of our investmentchange in a related party in the 2018 period, which is subtracted from FFO to compute AFFO; combined with a $1.4 million decrease in the addback adjustment for cost of debt extinguishment as compared to the 2017 period.

Net Income, FFO, and AFFO for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and 20172018

The following table presents our net income and our non-GAAP FFO and AFFO for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and 2017.2018. Our measures of FFO and AFFO are computed on the basis of amounts attributable to both us and non-controlling interests. As the non-controlling interests share in our net income on a one-for-one basis, the basic and diluted per share amounts are the same.

Net earnings per diluted share increased to $2.81 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $2.36 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase is mainly attributable to increased operating income, which2019, was primarily due to the net growth in the number of investments in real estate properties in our portfolio, as discussed in Results of OperationsFor the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 — Revenues above.

FFO and AFFO

The 13.8% increase in both FFO and AFFO during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, as compared to the prior-yearsame period discussed in Results of OperationsFor the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and 2017— Other income (expenses), above. These factors were partially offsetwas primarily driven by increased interest expense.

The per-share impact of increased in net income used in the numerator of the earnings per share calculation was partially offset by the impact of increased diluted weighted average number of shares of our common stock outstanding used in the denominator, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in the diluted weighted average number of shares reflected shares issued as part of our ongoing equity raises. We use proceeds from the sale of stock to partially fund acquisitions of real estate, which contributes to the increased revenues discussed above.


FFO

FFO increased to $114.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $80.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. FFO per diluted share increased to $5.31 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $4.43 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in FFO is primarily due to the factors associated with growth in our real estate portfolio, discussed above, which were factors accounting for an increase in net income. The impact of the increase in FFO in the numerator of the FFO per share calculation was partially mitigated by the increase in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the denominator.

AFFO

AFFO increased to $91.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $72.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. AFFO per diluted share increased to $4.26 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $4.04 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. As compared to the increase in FFO, the lower year-over-year growth in AFFO and AFFO per diluted share was mainly due to a $8.5 million gain on sale of our investment in a related party in the 2018 period, which is subtracted from FFO to compute AFFO; combined with a $4.9 million decrease in the addback adjustment for cost of debt extinguishment as compared to the 2017 period, which reflected the renegotiation of our Credit Facility in June 2017. In addition, the deduction for straight-line rent adjustments used to compute AFFO increased by $3.1 million, reflecting therevenue growth in our real estate investment portfolio. These factors were somewhatAs discussed above, this resulted from rent escalations associated with our same property portfolio, accretive acquisitions made since the second quarter of 2018, and strong portfolio operating performance. The increase in revenues was partially offset by increased interest expense, as discussed above, a $1.3 millionresult of extending our debt maturity profile. Consistent with the decrease in earnings per share, FFO per share and AFFO per share decreased from the deduction related to gains on interest rate swaps, mainly reflecting the terminationcomparable period in 2018 as a result of an interest rate swap that occurred concurrent with the paydown of a mortgageour change in the prior year.funding mix.

Critical AccountingAccounting Policies

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of theseour Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believedwe believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe there have been no significant changes

As discussed in Note 2 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018first quarter of 2019, we adopted the provisions of ASC 842, which resulted in a change to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates underpolicy with respect to revenue recognition that had been disclosed in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our 2018 Form 10-K. We believe there have been no other significant changes during the six months ended June 30, 2019, to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies in our 2018 Form 10-K.

Our interest rate risk management strategy is intended to stabilize cash flow requirements by maintaining interest rate swap agreementsswaps to convert certain variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt.a fixed rate. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, we had 2833 interest rate swap agreementsswaps outstanding, within an aggregate notional amount of $760.1$885.0 million. Under these agreements, we receive monthly payments from the counterparties equal to the related variable interest rates multiplied by the outstanding notional amounts. In turn, we pay the counterparties each month an amount equal to a fixed interest rate multiplied by the related outstanding notional amounts. The intended net impact of these transactions is that we pay a fixed interest rate on our variable-rate borrowings. The interest rate swaps have been designated by us as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes and are reported at fair value. We assess, both at inception and on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of our qualifying cash flow hedges. We have not entered, and do not intend to enter, into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.

The table below summarizes the terms of the current swap agreements relating to our unsecured credit facilities. Several of the interest rate swap agreements set forth in the table below were entered into in conjunction with previous secured and unsecured borrowings that were retired, and the swaps have since been reapplied in support of the current unsecured credit facilities.at June 30, 2019.

Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Sales of Common Stock and Issuance of Membership Units

We commenced our ongoing private offering of shares of our common stock in 2007. The first closing of our private offering occurred on December 31, 2007, and we have conducted additional closings at least once every calendar quarter since then. Currently, we close sales of additional shares of our common stock monthly. In November 2017, we instituted a monthlyan equity cap and queue program for new and additional investments in our common stock. The cap does not apply to investments made pursuant to our DRIP, or to equity capital received in connection with UPREIT transactions. For the months of February 20182019 through June 2018,2019, new and additional investments were capped at $15.0$20 million per month. Based on anticipated acquisition activity,On July 3, 2019, we increasedannounced that we were removing the equity cap to $20.0 million for the monthsmonth of July through October 2018,2019 based on our current leverage profile and to $30.0 million forpipeline of potential acquisitions. We anticipate reinstating the monthsequity cap once we are comfortably within the leverage range of November 2018 through January 2019.our investment grade credit rating.

If the total subscriptions for shares of our common stock exceed the cap for a month, subscriptions will generally be accepted at that month’s closing in the order in which they were submitted. In our or the Asset Manager’s discretion, however, certain subscriptions may be given priority over other subscriptions based on factors other than the order of submission, including the size of the subscription, the size of a stockholder’s existing investment, whether the subscription was sourced through an existing or new intermediary relationship, and such other factors we or the Asset Manager may consider. Any subscription for shares that we do not accept at any closing may be held for two subsequent closings and, if so held, shall be treated as a continuing subscription to purchase any remaining shares at the two subsequent closings (and, if applicable, any additional subsequent closings resulting from the subscriber’s exercise of the renewal option discussed below) at the offering price established at the initially subscribed for closing.then in effect. If we do not accept and request payment for all of the shares subscribed for at one of the first three closings after receipt of a subscription, the subscriber will have the option to renew its subscription for three additional closings and maintain its position in any equity subscription queue by providing written notice of the subscriber’s election to exercise such option. The same option will be available to the subscriber for each subsequent three-closing period.

For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, we sold 2.31.8 million shares of our common stock in our private offering, including 0.50.4 million shares of common stock issued pursuant to our DRIP, for gross offering proceeds of approximately $186.3$150.8 million. We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds from our private offering, supplemented with additional borrowings, to continue to invest in additional net leased properties, to reduce our outstanding indebtedness, and for general corporate purposes.

Item 4.

Not applicable.

Item 5.

Other Information.

Not applicable.The other information presented below is being filed as a result of the Company’s adoption of the new accounting guidance for lease accounting (“ASC 842”) on January 1, 2019. As part of that adoption, the Company elected the available practical expedient, for all classes of assets, not to separate lease components in contracts from the nonlease components in those contracts, when recording revenues associated with operating leases where it is the lessor. Since the lease component is the predominant component under the Company’s leases, combined revenues from both the lease and nonlease components are accounted for in accordance with ASC 842 and will be reported in all periods subsequent to the adoption of the new accounting guidance in a single caption, “Lease revenues,” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. The presentation and disclosure of Lease revenues have been adjusted to reflect these changes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. Refer to Note 2 of Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements,” for further details on these updates to significant accounting policies.  

This information is intended to assist investors in making comparisons of the Company’s historical financial information with future financial information. The reported financial information below has been revised to conform to the current presentation.
