STORE is Positioned for Growth The market for STORE Properties exceeds $2 trillion in market value and includes more than 1.5 million properties. Despite the market's size, the financing marketplace for STORE Properties is highly fragmented, with few participants addressing the long-term capital needs of middle market and larger nonrated companies. TOTAL TARGET MARKET SIZE ($2.3 TRILLION) KEY GROWTH DRIVERS We Create Demand We create stockholder value through more than real estate aggregation. We originate approximately 75% of our real estate investments through direct tenant relationships which offer both our tenants and investors superior value. We are Scalable in our Operations As we grow, we expect the cost to manage our portfolio to decline as a percentage of investment value. We built STORE with highly efficient systems to enable this operating leverage. We Have an Efficient Capital Structure Our A+ rated long-term debt conduit, STORE Master Funding, short-term unsecured borrowing capacity and approximately $1 billion in unencumbered assets provide us with access to long-term, low-cost capital.

Portfolio Contract Quality Expected default frequency & STORE score equivalent Ratings Data as of March 31, 2015. We measure the credit quality of our portfolio on a contract-by-contract basis using the STORE Score which is a risk measure reflective of both the credit risk of our tenants and the profitability of the operations at our properties. As of March 31, 2015, STORE Capital’s tenants have a weighted average tenant credit profile of approximately ‘Ba3’ as measured by Moody's RiskCalc. However, considering the profitability of the operations at our properties and the likelihood the tenants will choose to continue to operate at our properties in the event of their insolvency, the credit quality of our contracts, or STORE Score, is enhanced to a weighted average of ‘Ba1’. The STORE Score is a quantitative measurement of contract risk computed by stringing together tenant credit quality and estimated store closure probabilities. However, qualitative features can also impact investment risk, such as low property investment amounts, the presence of third party guarantors or other factors. Such qualitative factors may serve to further mitigate investment risk. 100 200 300 400 500 600 NR Caa B3 B2 B1 Ba3 Ba2 Ba1 Baa3 Baa2 Baa1 A3 A2 A1 Aa3 Aa2 Aa1 Aaa Investment ($MM) STORE Score Moody's Riskcalc Rating Portfolio Weighted Average Expected Default Frequency (EDF) (Tenant Risk): 1.68% (Ba3) Portfolio Weighted Average STORE Score (Contract Risk ): 0.67% (Ba1) Approximately 76 % of investments have STORE Score ?

Definitions and Footnotes 1 Weighted average annual lease escalation 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 We define occupancy as a property being subject to a lease or loan contract. 3 The number of properties not currently operating but subject to a lease represents the number of our investment locations that have been closed by the tenant but remain subject to a lease. 4 The percentage of investment portfolio subject to master leases represents the percentage of the investment portfolio in multiple properties with a single customer subject to master leases (based on annualized base rent and interest, 86% of the investment portfolio involves multiple properties with a single customer). 5 The average investment amount/replacement cost (new) represents the ratio of purchase price to replacement cost (new) at acquisition. 6 STORE Capital calculates unit fixed charge coverage ratio 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. The 4-Wall coverage ratio refers to a unit’s FCCR before taking into account standardized corporate overhead expense. 7 The proportion of investment contracts rated investment grade represents the percentage of our contracts that have a STORE Score that is investment grade or higher. We measure the credit quality of our portfolio on a contract-by-contract basis using the STORE Score, which is a risk measure reflective of both the credit risk of our tenants and the profitability of the operations at the properties. As of March 31, 2015, 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 our properties and STORE’s assessment of the likelihood the tenants choose to continue to operate at the properties in the event of their insolvency, the credit quality of our contracts, or STORE Score, is enhanced to a weighted average rating of approximately ‘Ba1’.

Supplemental Reporting Measures and Forward-Looking Statements Funds from Operations, or FFO, and Adjusted Funds from Operations, or AFFO Our reported results are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. We also disclose Funds from Operations, or FFO, and Adjusted Funds from Operations, or AFFO, both of which are non-GAAP 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 to 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, 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, we modify 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. In addition, in deriving AFFO, we exclude transaction costs associated with acquiring real estate subject to existing leases. 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. Management believes that AFFO provides more useful information to investors and analysts because it modifies FFO to exclude additional non-cash revenues and expenses such as straight-line rents, amortization of deferred financing costs and stock-based compensation as 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, we exclude transaction costs associated with acquiring real estate subject to existing leases. We view transaction costs to be a part of our investment in the real estate we acquire, similar to the treatment of acquisition and closing costs on our sale-leaseback transactions, which are capitalized as a part of the investment in the asset. We believe that transaction costs are not an ongoing cost of the portfolio in place at the end of each reporting period and, for these reasons, we add back the portion expensed when computing AFFO. As a result, we believe AFFO to be a more meaningful measurement of ongoing performance that allows for greater performance comparability. Therefore, we disclose both FFO and AFFO and reconcile them to the most appropriate GAAP performance metric, which is net income. STORE Capital’s FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Supplemental Reporting Measures and Forward-Looking Statements EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Annualized Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Debt EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA modified to include other adjustments to GAAP net income for transaction costs, non-cash impairment charges and gains on dispositions of real estate. Annualized Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by multiplying Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter by four. Annualized Adjusted EBITDA – Current Estimated Run Rate is calculated based on an estimated Adjusted EBITDA as if all leases and loans in place as of March 31, 2015 had been in place as of January 1, 2015; then annualizing the Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter by multiplying it by four. You should not unduly rely on this metric as it is based on several assumptions and estimates that may prove to be inaccurate. Our actual reported Adjusted EBITDA for future periods may be significantly less than that implied by our reported Annualized Adjusted EBITDA – Current Estimated Run Rate for a variety of reasons. Adjusted Debt represents our outstanding debt (including the unsecured credit facility and non-recourse debt obligations of consolidated special purpose entities) excluding unamortized net debt premium, further reduced for cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash deposits held for the benefit of lenders. We believe excluding unamortized net debt premium, cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash deposits held for the benefit of lenders provides an estimate of the net contractual amount of borrowed capital to be repaid which we believe is a beneficial disclosure to investors and analysts. Adjusted Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDA, or leverage, is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure we use to evaluate the level of borrowed capital being used to increase the potential return of our real estate investments. We calculate leverage by dividing Adjusted Debt by Annualized Adjusted EBITDA. Leverage should be considered as a supplemental measure of the level of risk to which stockholder value may be exposed. STORE Capital’s computation of leverage may differ from the methodology employed by other companies, and, therefore, may not be comparable to other measures. We believe that presenting supplemental reporting measures, or non-GAAP measures, such as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and analysts because it provides important information concerning our operating performance exclusive of certain non-cash and other costs. These non-GAAP measures 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. Our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. The following is a summary of the primary inputs into our presentation of these measures.
