Management Commentary

“We appreciate the strong support from the investment community and our new stockholders who participated in our successful IPO in November,” said Christopher H. Volk, President and Chief Executive Officer of STORE Capital.  “The proceeds we raised are being used to further expand our diversified real estate portfolio and bolster our leadership in middle market net-lease solutions for single tenant operational real estate.

“Through our origination efforts, we were able to selectively identify and acquire over $1.1 billion in profit center real estate in 2014.  This significant level of volume speaks to the important need we address in the marketplace as companies increasingly focus on managing capital more efficiently.  Our disciplined origination strategy, together with attractive lease contracts and scheduled rent increases, positions us to continue generating the strong cash flows that will fuel growth and return dividends to our stockholders.

“We have always had a flexible, conservative and efficient capital structure that translates to a low cost of capital. We are one of the few REITs to have an A+ rated borrowing capacity through our private long-term debt program, STORE Master Funding.  This, together with our new unsecured credit facility, access to the public equity markets and nearly $1 billion of unencumbered assets, dramatically expands our financing flexibility,” Volk continued.  “We also have a considerable advantage with our highly scalable operating platform and expect portfolio management expense will decline as a percentage of investment value as we grow.

“Based on our positive outlook for acquisition opportunities and our financial and operating strength, we are very excited about the year ahead and believe STORE Capital can deliver one of the best risk-adjusted return opportunities in the market today.”

Financial Results

Total Revenues

Total revenues were $55.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, an increase of 65.3% from $33.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2013.

Total revenues for 2014 were $190.4 million, an increase of 74.9% from $108.9 million for 2013.  The increase was driven primarily by the growth in the size of STORE Capital’s real estate investment portfolio, which grew from $1.7 billion in gross investment amount representing 622 property locations at December 31, 2013 to $2.8 billion in gross investment amount representing 947 property locations at December 31, 2014.

Net Income

Net income increased to $17.4 million, or $0.18 per basic and diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to $7.5 million in net income, or $0.13 per basic and diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2013.  The increase in net income was primarily due to additional rental revenues and interest income generated by the growth in the size of STORE Capital’s real estate investment portfolio. In addition, the Company reported an aggregate gain of $3.3 million on the sale of eight properties during the fourth quarter of 2014 versus a $0.2 million gain, net of tax, on the sale of one property in the same period in 2013.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $48.1 million, or $0.61 per basic and diluted share compared to $26.3 million, or $0.52 per basic and diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company reported an aggregate gain of $5.5 million on the sale of 16 properties during 2014 versus $2.2 million in gains, net of tax, on the sale of 17 properties in 2013.

Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)

AFFO increased 84.7% to $33.7 million, or $0.35 per basic and diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to AFFO of $18.3 million, or $0.33 per basic and diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2013.  The increase in AFFO per share between years was driven by the growth in the Company’s real estate investment portfolio.

AFFO for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $109.9 million, or $1.39 per basic and diluted share, compared to $61.7 million, or $1.23 per basic and diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Dividend Information

As previously announced, STORE Capital declared a pro-rated dividend per common share of $0.1139, or $1.00 per share on an annualized basis, reflecting the period since the closing of the IPO through December 31, 2014. This dividend, totaling $13.1 million, was paid on January 15, 2015 to stockholders of record on December 31, 2014. Also in the fourth quarter, we declared and paid a dividend of approximately $8.7 million to stockholders of record prior to our IPO.

Real Estate Portfolio Highlights

Investment Activity

The Company originated $289.5 million of gross investments representing 105 property locations during the fourth quarter of 2014. These investments had an initial weighted average cap rate of 8.0%.  Total investment activity for the year was $1.1 billion representing 341 property locations and an initial weighted average cap rate of 8.3%.  The Company defines “initial cap rate” for property acquisitions as the initial annual cash rent divided by the purchase price of the property.

During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company sold eight properties and recognized an aggregate gain of $3.3 million. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company sold 16 properties, representing approximately 2% of the investment portfolio at the beginning of 2014, and recognized an aggregate gain of $5.5 million. The average sale cap rate for properties sold in the fourth quarter and full year 2014 was 6.9% and 7.2%, respectively.

Portfolio

At December 31, 2014, STORE Capital’s real estate portfolio totaled $2.8 billion representing 947 property locations, substantially all of which are profit centers for the Company’s customers. Approximately 96% of the portfolio represents commercial real estate properties subject to long-term leases, 4% represents mortgage loan and direct financing receivables primarily on commercial real estate buildings (located on land the Company owns and leases to its customers) and a nominal amount represents loans receivable secured by the tenants’ other assets. As of December 31, 2014, the portfolio’s annualized base rent and interest (based on rates in effect on December 31, 2014 for all lease and loan contracts) totaled $237.8 million. The weighted average non-cancellable remaining term of the leases at December 31, 2014 was 15 years.

The Company’s customers operate their businesses across more than 200 brand names, or concepts, and none of these concepts represented more than 4% of the Company’s total investment portfolio revenues as of December 31, 2014.

(1)         Represents the weighted average annual escalation rate of the entire portfolio as if the escalations in all leases were expressed on an annual basis and assumes the contracts that increase based on changes in CPI increase at the minimum of the stated fixed percentage in the contract.

(2)         The Company defines occupancy as a property being subject to a lease or loan contract.

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

(4)         Percentage of investments in multiple properties with a single customer (which represents 876 of STORE Capital’s 947 properties).

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

(6)         STORE Capital calculates a unit’s FCCR generally as the ratio of (i) the unit’s EBITDAR, less a standardized corporate overhead expense based on estimated industry standards, to (ii) the unit’s total fixed charges, which are its lease expense, interest expense and scheduled principal payments on indebtedness.

(7)         The Company measures the credit quality of its portfolio on a contract-by-contract basis using the STORE Score, which is a risk measure reflective of both the credit risk of its tenants and the profitability of the operations at the properties.  As of December 31, 2014, STORE Capital’s tenants had a weighted average tenant credit profile of approximately ‘Ba3’ as measured by the Moody’s Analytics RiskCalc rating scale. However, considering the profitability of the operations at its properties and an assessment of the likelihood the tenants choose to continue to operate at the properties in the event of their insolvency, the credit quality of its contracts, or STORE Score, is enhanced to a weighted average rating of approximately ‘Baa3’.

Capital Transactions

In September 2014, STORE Capital replaced its two existing secured credit facilities with a new $300 million unsecured revolving credit facility provided by a group of lenders. This new facility, which includes an accordion feature that allows the size of the facility to be increased up to $500 million, is for an initial term of three years and includes a one-year extension option subject to certain conditions.

On November 18, 2014, STORE Capital’s common shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange, and on November 21, 2014, the Company completed its IPO of 31.6 million shares of its common stock, which included 4.1 million shares issued as a result of the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, at a price to the public of $18.50 per share. The offering generated net proceeds of $546 million.  The net proceeds from the offering were used to repay $223 million of borrowings outstanding under the credit facility, to redeem all outstanding shares of STORE Capital Series A Preferred Stock ($125,000) and to fund approximately $243 million of property acquisitions from the closing date through December 31, 2014.

2015 AFFO Guidance

STORE Capital currently expects 2015 AFFO per share of $1.33 to $1.39, based on projected annual real estate acquisition volume of approximately $850 million. AFFO per share is sensitive to the timing, amount and lease rates of real estate acquisitions during the year, as well as to the spread achieved between the lease rates on new acquisitions and the interest rates on borrowings used to finance those acquisitions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

FFO and AFFO

STORE Capital’s reported results are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. The Company also discloses Funds from Operations, or FFO, and Adjusted Funds from Operations, or AFFO, both of which are non-GAAP measures. Management believes these two non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they are widely accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs. FFO and AFFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements; accordingly, they should not be considered alternatives to net income as a performance measure and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures.

The Company computes FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income, excluding gains (or losses) from extraordinary items and sales of depreciable property, real estate impairment losses, and depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries. To derive AFFO, the Company modifies the NAREIT computation of FFO to include other adjustments to GAAP net income related to non-cash revenues and expenses such as straight-line rents, amortization of deferred financing costs and stock-based compensation. Such items may cause short-term fluctuations in net income but have no impact on operating cash flows or long-term operating performance. Additionally, in deriving AFFO, transaction costs associated with acquiring real estate subject to existing leases are excluded because the costs are not the primary drivers of the decision making process. Management uses AFFO as one measure of Company performance when formulating corporate goals.

FFO is used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among the Company’s peers primarily because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based

on existing market conditions. Management believes that AFFO is an additional useful supplemental measure for investors to consider because it will help them to better assess the Company’s operating performance without the distortions created by other non-cash revenues or expenses. STORE Capital’s FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
