Commenting on the year-end results, CEO David Sobelman stated, “This past year has been nothing short of metamorphic for GIPR. We achieved transformational milestones that have positioned us for significant growth. Through our disciplined capital allocation, we grew the portfolio to today’s gross asset value of approximately $61 million, including our property held in a tenancy in common. We enhanced our leadership team with additions to our board of directors and c-suite.” Mr. Sobelman concluded, “With our shares now trading on NASDAQ and a commitment letter with our lender in place, we believe we have broader access to capital, a sound growth strategy and a capital structure to support our trajectory.”

Portfolio

(As of December 31, 2021 unless otherwise stated)

• Approximately 80% of the annualized rent generated by the Company’s real estate portfolio was generated by tenants that have (or whose parent company has) an investment grade credit rating from a recognized credit rating agency of “BBB-” or better. The Company’s largest tenants are the General Service Administration (S&P: AA+), PRA Group (NASDAQ: PRAA, S&P: BB+) and Pratt & Whitney (S&P: A-) and contributed approximately 65% to the portfolio’s annualized base rent.
• The Company’s portfolio is 100% leased, occupied, and rent paying and remained so from our inception, even throughout the pandemic.
• Approximately 77% of the leases in the current portfolio (based on annualized rent) provide for increases in contractual base rent during future years of the current term or during the lease extension periods.
• The average annualized base rent (ABR) per square foot at the end of the quarter was $28.05 or $17.12 on a weighted average basis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

• $10.6 million in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2021 compared to $1.1 million at December 31, 2020.
• Total debt outstanding was $29.0 million as of December 31, 2021 compared to $28.4 million as of December 31, 2020.

Financial Results

• Core FFO for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021, was $(232.2) thousand and $307.2 thousand, respectively. Core AFFO for the same periods was $(263.5) thousand and $160.0 thousand, respectively.
• Revenue for the same periods was $0.9 million and $3.9 million, respectively. These results represent a year-over-year increase of 5.8% and 10.8%. for the three- and twelve-months ended, December 31, 2021. The increase in revenue was driven by the acquisition of properties during the year.
• Operating expenses including G&A for the same periods were $1.7 million and $5.5 million, respectively. These results represent a year-over-year increase of 35.5% and 14.0% for the three- and twelve months ended December 31, 2021. Changes in operating expenses were driven primarily by an increase in stock-based compensation, salary expense, professional fees, and insurance.
• G&A for the same periods were $0.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively. The change in G&A expenses was driven primarily by an increase in stock-based compensation, salary expense, and an increase in professional fees.
• Net interest expense for the same periods were $0.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

These risks and uncertainties include the risk that we may not be able to timely identify and close on acquisition opportunities, our limited operating history, potential changes in the economy in general and the real estate market in particular, the COVID-19 pandemic, and other risks and uncertainties that are identified from time to in our SEC filings, including those identified in our registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-235707), which are available at www.sec.gov.

Notice Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our reported results and net earnings per diluted share, which are financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release contains and may refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Funds from Operations ("FFO"), Core Funds From Operations ("Core FFO"), Adjusted Funds from Operations, or AFFO, Core Adjusted Funds from Operations ("Core AFFO"), or Net Debt. We believe the use of Core FFO and Core 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. You should not consider our Core FFO or Core AFFO as an alternative to net income or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure and statements of why management believes these measures are useful to investors are included below.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

The following tables reconcile net income (loss), which we believe is the most comparable GAAP measure, to FFO, Core FFO, AFFO, and Core AFFO:

Our reported results are presented in accordance with GAAP. We also disclose funds from operations (FFO) and adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) both of which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these two non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they are widely accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs.

FFO and AFFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements; accordingly, they should not be considered alternatives to net income as a performance measure or cash flows from operations as reported on our statement of cash flows 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 definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts or NAREIT. NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude extraordinary items (as defined by GAAP), net gain or loss from sales of depreciable real estate assets, impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate assets, and real estate related depreciation and amortization, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries. We then adjust FFO for amortization of deferred financing costs, non-cash stock compensation, public company consulting fees, and non-recurring litigation expenses and settlements to calculate Core Adjusted Funds From Operations, or Core AFFO. We use FFO and Core FFO as measures of our performance when we formulate corporate goals.

To derive AFFO, we modify the NAREIT computation of FFO to include other adjustments to GAAP net income related to non-cash revenues and expenses, such as amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of capitalized lease incentives, and above- and below-market lease related intangibles. We then adjust AFFO for noncash stock compensation, public company consulting fees, and non-recurring litigation expenses and settlements to calculate Core Adjusted Funds From Operations, or Core AFFO. We use AFFO and Core AFFO as measures 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 an additional useful supplemental measure for investors to consider because it will help them to better assess our operating performance without the distortions created by other non-cash revenues or expenses. FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. We believe that Core FFO and Core AFFO are useful measures for management and investors because they further remove the effect of noncash expenses and certain other expenses that are not directly related to real estate operations.

Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions that are available for distribution to stockholders and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses and interest costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income. In addition, our management team believes that FFO provides useful information to the investment community about our financial performance when compared to other REITs since FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs. However, FFO should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our operating performance since it does not reflect either depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties which are significant economic costs and could materially impact our results from operations. Nor does it reflect distributions paid to redeemable non-controlling interests (See Note 6 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for the Twelve Months ended December 31, 2021 and Note 7 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020).
