Completes Successful Transition to Focused Industrial Manufacturing REIT

Closes Sale of 13 Non-Industrial Assets for $42 million

Changes Corporate Name to Modiv Industrial, Inc.

Modiv Industrial, Inc. (“Modiv Industrial” or the “Company”, formerly known as Modiv Inc.) (NYSE:MDV), an internally managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that actively acquires, owns, and manages a portfolio of single-tenant net-lease industrial manufacturing real estate properties, today announced operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

“At the beginning of the year, we outlined plans to acquire $100 million of industrial manufacturing assets, which we quickly accomplished. Just three months ago, we shared our strategy to begin the disposition of our legacy, non-core ‘Rich Uncles’ retail and office assets. Today I am pleased to announce that we have successfully delivered on our publicly stated goals,” said Aaron Halfacre, Chief Executive Officer of Modiv Industrial, Inc.

“With the August 10^th sale of 13 non-industrial assets to Generation Income Properties, Inc. for $42 million and the July purchase of two more industrial manufacturing properties, we have already accretively redeployed cash proceeds into additional industrial manufacturing assets, allowing us to achieve our goal of having a super-majority of industrial assets.”

“Now, with the majority of our repositioning behind us, we will begin increasing investor awareness of our compelling investment thesis. Nearer term, we will continue the disposition of non-industrial assets to create capital recycling opportunities. Longer term, we remain focused on achieving scale of over $1 billion in gross assets and becoming the best pure-play net lease industrial manufacturing REIT,” concluded Halfacre.

Financial Highlights for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2023:

• Revenue was $11.8 million, up 16.7% year-over-year, reflecting the acquisition of 16 industrial manufacturing properties since June 30, 2022.
• FFO was $7.9 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, compared with $4.7 million or $0.46 per diluted share in the year-ago quarter, reflecting higher revenue and lower interest expense attributable to unrealized gains on interest rate swap valuations.
• AFFO was $3.3 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared with $3.6 million or $0.35 per diluted share in the year-ago quarter, a decrease reflecting a higher straight-line rent adjustment.

Business Update

• Sold non-core portfolio of 13 legacy retail and office assets to Generation Income Properties, Inc. (NASDAQ: GIPR) on August 10, 2023 for $42 million at an exit cap rate of 7.55%. Transaction consideration includes $30 million in cash and $12 million of GIPR preferred stock, which will pay monthly dividends at an annual rate of 9.5%.

These statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our plans, strategies and prospects, both business and financial. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to those described under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on March 13, 2023.

Notice Involving Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to U.S. GAAP financial measures, this press release and the supplemental financial and operating report included in our Form 8-K dated August 14, 2023 contain and may refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, not a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered replacements for, and should be read together with, the most comparable GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and statements of why management believes these measures are useful to investors are provided below.

AFFO is a measure that is not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). See the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures later in this press release.

The Company defines “initial cap rate” for property acquisitions as the initial annual cash rent divided by the purchase price of the property. The Company defines “weighted average cap rate” for property acquisitions as the average annual cash rent including rent escalations over the lease term, divided by the purchase price of the property.

FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, and gains and losses from sales of depreciable operating property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures, preferred distributions and real estate impairments. Because FFO calculations adjust for such items as depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and gains and losses from sales of operating real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), they facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs. As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our competitors and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities. It should be noted, however, that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current Nareit definition or may interpret the current Nareit definition differently than we do, making comparisons less meaningful.

Additionally, we use AFFO as a non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate our operating performance. AFFO excludes non-routine and certain non-cash items such as revenues in excess of cash received, amortization of stock-based compensation, deferred rents, amortization of in-place lease valuation intangibles, deferred financing fees, gain or loss from the extinguishment of debt, unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, and write-offs of due diligence expenses for abandoned pursuits. We also believe that AFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the REIT industry. Further, we believe AFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies. Management believes that AFFO is a beneficial indicator of our ongoing portfolio performance and ability to sustain our current distribution level. More specifically, AFFO isolates the financial results of our operations. AFFO, however, is not considered an appropriate measure of historical earnings as it excludes certain significant costs that are otherwise included in reported earnings. Further, since the measure is based on historical financial information, AFFO for the period presented may not be indicative of future results or our future ability to pay our dividends.

By providing FFO and AFFO, we present information that assists investors in aligning their analysis with management’s analysis of long-term operating activities. For all of these reasons, we believe the non-GAAP measures of FFO and AFFO, in addition to income (loss) from operations, net income (loss) and cash flows from operating activities, as defined by GAAP, are helpful supplemental performance measures and useful to investors in evaluating the performance of our real estate portfolio. However, a material limitation associated with FFO and AFFO is that they are not indicative of our cash available to fund distributions since other uses of cash, such as capital expenditures at our properties and principal payments of debt, are not deducted when calculating FFO and AFFO. AFFO is useful in assisting management and investors in assessing our ongoing ability to generate cash flow from operations and continue as a going concern in future operating periods. Therefore, FFO and AFFO should not be viewed as a more prominent measure of performance than income (loss) from operations, net income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities and each should be reviewed in connection with GAAP measurements.

Neither the SEC, Nareit, nor any other applicable regulatory body has opined on the acceptability of the adjustments contemplated to adjust FFO in order to calculate AFFO and its use as a non-GAAP performance measure. In the future, the SEC or Nareit may decide to standardize the allowable exclusions across the REIT industry, and we may have to adjust the calculation and characterization of this non-GAAP measure.

We define Net Debt as gross debt less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. We define Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude real estate related depreciation and amortization, gains or losses from the sales of depreciable property, extraordinary items, provisions for impairment on real estate investments and goodwill, interest expense, non-cash items such as non-cash compensation expenses and write-offs of transaction costs and other one-time transactions. We believe these 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. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and our EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. You should not consider our EBITDA as an alternative to net income or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP.
