November 2016 Investor Presentation

 

 

The GNL Advantage 2 • Properties with long duration leases to largely investment grade tenants • Mission critical assets that are strategically important to tenants’ core operating businesses Best in Class Portfolio • Focus on mature markets in U.S . and Western Europe defined by high sovereign debt ratings, stable economies and low unemployment • Ability to play market cycles in the U.S. & Europe; currently taking advantage of dislocation of real estate and financial markets in Europe to create outsized spreads between cap rates and cost of debt • Focus on high quality markets (current European portfolio includes assets in UK, Germany, The Netherlands & Finland) differentiates GNL from closest U.S. peers that invest in broader array of non - U.S. markets Differentiated Strategy • Broader pool of high quality assets • Lower level of competition in Europe creates opportunity to enhance returns • High percentage of GNL debt in GBP and Euro (77%) reduces GNL’s exposure to interest rate movements of the Fed Advantages of GNL U.S & Europe Market Strategy

Risk Factors 13 ; The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward - looking statements. See the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10 - K filed with the SEC on February 29, 2016 and the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on form 10 - Q filed with the SEC on May 6, 2016, August 8, 2016 and November 9, 2016 for a discussion of the risks which should be considered in connection with your investment. ; All of our executive officers are also officers, managers and/or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in our Adv isor and other entities affiliated with AR Global Investments, LLC. As a result, our executive officers, our Advisor and its affil iat es face conflicts of interest, including significant conflicts created by our Advisor's compensation arrangements with us and ot her investment programs advised by AR Global Investments, LLC’s affiliates and conflicts in allocating time among these investment programs and us. These conflicts could result in unanticipated actions. ; Because investment opportunities that are suitable for us may also be suitable for other AR Global Investments, LLC advised investment programs, our Advisor and its affiliates face conflicts of interest relating to the purchase of properties and oth er investments and such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor, which could reduce the investment return to our stockholders. ; We may not be able to consummate the Mergers pursuant to the Merger Agreement in the timeframe contemplated or at all. ; The anticipated benefits from the Merger may not be realized or may take longer to realize than expected. ; Unexpected costs or unexpected liabilities may arise from the Merger or other transactions, whether or not consummated. ; We may be unable to pay or maintain cash dividends or increase dividends over time. ; We are obligated to pay fees which may be substantial to our Advisor and its affiliates. ; We depend on tenants for our rental revenue and, accordingly, our rental revenue is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our tenants. ; Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and limit our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders. ; We may be unable to raise additional debt or equity financing on attractive terms or at all.

 

 

Risk Factors (Continued) 14 ; Adverse changes in exchange rates may reduce the value of our properties located outside of the United States. ; We may not generate cash flows sufficient to pay dividends to our stockholders, as such, we may be forced to borrow at unfavorable rates or depend on our Advisor to waive reimbursement of certain expense and fees to fund our operations. There is no assurance that our Advisor will waive reimbursement of expenses or fees. ; Any of these dividends may reduce the amount of capital we ultimately invest in properties and other permitted investments and negatively impact the value of our common stock. ; We are subject to risks associated with our international investments, including risks associated with compliance with and changes in foreign laws, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and inflation. ; We are subject to risks associated with any dislocations or liquidity disruptions that may exist or occur in the credit marke ts of the United States of America and Europe from time to time. ; We may fail to continue to qualify, as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which would resul t in higher taxes, may adversely affect operations, adversely affect our ability to pay dividends and reduce the market price o f our common stock. ; We may be deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act. ; We may be exposed to risks due to a lack of tenant diversity, investment types and geographic diversity. ; The revenue derived from, and the market value of, properties located in the United Kingdom and continental Europe may decline as a result of the non binding referendum on June 23, 2016 in which a majority of voters voted to exit the European Union (the “Brexit” vote). ; Our ability to refinance or sell properties located in the United Kingdom and continental Europe may be impacted by the economic and political uncertainty following the Brexit vote. ; We may be exposed to changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including the possibility of intensified international hostilities, acts of terrorism, and changes in conditions of United States of America or international lending, capital and financing markets, including as a result of the Brexit vote .

 

 

Projections 15 ; This presentation includes estimated projections of future operating results. These projections were not prepared in accordance with published guidelines of the SEC or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of financial projections. This information is not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results; the projections were prepared in good faith by management and are based on numerous assumptions that may prove to be wrong. Important factors that may affect actual results and cause the projections to not be achieved include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties relating to the company and other fac tor s described in the “Risk Factors” section of GNL's Annual Report on Form 10 - K filed with the SEC on February 29, 2016, GNL's Quarterly Reports on Form 10 - Q filed for the quarters ended March 31, 2016, June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2016 filed on May 6, 2016, August 8, 2016 and November 9, 2016, respectively, in the “Risk Factors” section of Global II's Annual Report on Form 10 - K filed with the SEC on March 22, 2016, Global II's Quarterly Reports on Form 10 - Q filed for the quarters ended March 31, 2016, June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2016 filed on May 16, 2016, August 15, 2016 and November 14, 2016, respectively, in GNL's and Global II's future filings with the SEC. The projections also reflect assumptions as to cert ain business decisions that are subject to change. As a result, actual results may differ materially from those contained in the estimates. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the estimates will be realized . ; This presentation also contains estimates and information concerning our industry, including market position, market size, and growth rates of the markets in which we participate, that are based on industry publications and reports. This informatio n involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to these estimates. We have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of the data contained in these industry publications and reports. The industry in which we operate is subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to variety of factors, incl udi ng those described in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10 - K filed with the SEC on February 29, 2016, the Quarterly Reports on Form 10 - Q filed for the quarters ended March 31, 2016, June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2016 filed on May 6, 2016, August 8, 2016 and November 9, 2016, respectively, and in future filings with the SEC. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in these publications and reports.

 

 

Definitions 16 ; Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Es tat e Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), an industry trade group, has promulgated a measure known as funds from operations ("FFO"), whic h w e believe to be an appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. The use of FFO is recommend ed by the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. FFO is not equivalent to net income or loss as determined under acco unt ing principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). ; We define FFO, a non - GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as revised in February 2004 (the "White Paper"). The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss compu ted in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property but including asset impairment writedowns, plus dep rec iation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated pa rtn erships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT's definition. ; The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight - line depreciation of buildings and improvemen ts, and straight - line amortization of intangibles, which implies that the value of a real estate asset diminishes predictably over time, especially if not adequately maintained or repaired and renovated as required by relevant circumstances or as requested or required by less ees for operational purposes in order to maintain the value disclosed. We believe that, because real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation and certain other items may be less informative. Hi sto rical accounting for real estate involves the use of GAAP. Any other method of accounting for real estate such as the fair value me tho d cannot be construed to be any more accurate or relevant than the comparable methodologies of real estate valuation found in GAAP. Nevertheless, we believe that the use of FFO, which excludes the impact of real estate related depreciation and amortization, am ong other things, provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management, and when compared yea r over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and a dmi nistrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income. However, FFO and adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”), as described below, should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP method olo gy in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating our operating performance. The method utilized to evaluate th e v alue and performance of real estate under GAAP should be construed as a more relevant measure of operational performance and considere d more prominently than the non - GAAP FFO and AFFO measures and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO and AFFO. Other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition (as we do) or may interpret the current NAREIT defi nit ion differently than we do and/or AFFO differently than we do. Consequently, our presentation of FFO and AFFO may not be comparab le to other similarly titled measures presented by other REITs . ; We consider FFO and AFFO useful indicators of our performance. Because FFO calculations exclude such factors as depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and gains or losses from sales of operating real estate assets (which can vary among owner s o f identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful - life estimates), FFO facilitates compariso ns of operating performance between periods and between other REITs in our peer group.

 

 

Definitions (Continued) 17 ; Changes in the accounting and reporting promulgations under GAAP (for acquisition fees and expenses from a capitalization/depreciatio n model to an expensed - as - incurred model) that were put into effect in 2009 and other changes to GAAP accounting for real estate s ubsequent to the establishment of NAREIT's definition of FFO have prompted an increase in cash - settled expenses, specifically acquisition fees and expenses for all industries as items that are expensed under GAAP, that are typically accounted for as operating expenses . ; We exclude certain income or expense items from AFFO that we consider more reflective of investing activities, other non - cash incom e and expense items and the income and expense effects of other activities that are not a fundamental attribute of our business pla n. These items include early extinguishment of debt and unrealized gains and losses, which may not ultimately be realized, such as gains or los ses on derivative instruments, gains and losses on foreign currency transactions, and gains and losses on investments. In addition, by excluding non - cash income and expense items such as amortization of above - market and below - market leases intangibles, amortization of defe rred financing costs, straight - line rent and equity - based compensation from AFFO, we believe we provide useful information regarding income and expense items which have a direct impact on our ongoing operating performance. We also include the realized gains or losses o n f oreign currency exchange contracts for AFFO as such items are part of our ongoing operations and affect the current operating perfor man ce of the Company. By providing AFFO, we believe we are presenting useful information that assists investors and analysts to better ass ess the sustainability of our ongoing operating performance without the impacts of transactions that are not related to the ongoing p rof itability of our portfolio of properties. We also believe that AFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the REIT i ndu stry. Further, we believe AFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance with the sustainability of th e o perating performance of other real estate companies. However, AFFO is not indicative of cash available to fund ongoing cash needs, inc lud ing the ability to make cash distributions. Investors are cautioned that AFFO should only be used to assess the sustainability of our op erating performance excluding these activities, as it excludes certain costs that have a negative effect on our operating performance du ring the periods in which these costs are incurred . ; As a result, we believe that the use of AFFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete underst and ing of our performance relative to our peers and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, f ina ncing, and investing activities . ; In calculating AFFO, we exclude certain expenses, which under GAAP are characterized as operating expenses in determining ope rat ing net income. All paid and accrued merger, acquisition and transaction related fees and certain other expenses negatively impact ou r o perating performance during the period in which expenses are incurred or properties are acquired will also have negative effects on re tur ns to investors, but are not reflective of our on - going performance. AFFO that excludes such costs and expenses would only be comparab le to companies that did not have such activities. Further, under GAAP, certain contemplated non - cash fair value and other non - cash ad justments are considered operating non - cash adjustments to net income. In addition, as discussed above, we view gains and losses from fair value adjustments as items which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized and not reflective of ongoing operations and are th erefore typically adjusted for when assessing operating performance. Excluding income and expense items detailed above from our calcu lat ion of AFFO provides information consistent with management's analysis of the operating performance of the Company. Additionally, fa ir value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market condit ion s, but can also result from operational factors such as rental and occupancy rates, may not be directly related or attributable to our c urr ent operating performance. By excluding such changes that may reflect anticipated and unrealized gains or losses, we believe AFFO provides use ful supplemental information.

 

 

Definitions (Continued) 18 ; We believe that earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization adjusted for acquisition and transaction - related exp enses, other non - cash items and including our pro - rata share from unconsolidated joint ventures ("Adjusted EBITDA") is an appropriate measure of our ability to incur and service debt. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, a s a measure of our liquidity or as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating activities. Other REITs may calculate Adjusted EBI TDA differently and our calculation should not be compared to that of other REITs. ; Net operating income ("NOI") is a non - GAAP financial measure equal to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP finan cial measure, less discontinued operations, interest, other income and income from preferred equity investments and investment securities, plu s corporate general and administrative expense, acquisition and transaction - related expenses, depreciation and amortization, other non - cash expenses and interest expense. NOI is adjusted to include our pro rata share of NOI from unconsolidated joint ventures. We use NOI interna lly as a performance measure and believe NOI provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations bec ause it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level. Therefore, we believe NOI is a useful measure fo r e valuating the operating performance of our real estate assets and to make decisions about resource allocations. Further, we believe NOI is use ful to investors as a performance measure because, when compared across periods, NOI reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupanc y r ates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition activity on an unlevered basis, providing perspective not immediately apparent from ne t i ncome. NOI excludes certain components from net income in order to provide results that are more closely related to a property's results of operations. For example, interest expense is not necessarily linked to the operating performance of a real estate asset and is often incurred at the corporate level as opposed to the property level. In addition, depreciation and amortization, because of historical cost accounting and usefu l l ife estimates, may distort operating performance at the property level. NOI presented by us may not be comparable to NOI reported by other REITs th at define NOI differently. We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our operating results, NOI should be examined in co njunction with net income (loss) as presented in our consolidated financial statements. NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net in com e (loss) as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of our liquidity . ; Cash net operating income, or Cash NOI, is a non - GAAP financial measure that is intended to reflect the performance of our prope rties. We define Cash NOI as net operating income (which is separately defined herein) excluding amortization of above/below market lease inta ngi bles and straight - line adjustments that are included in GAAP lease revenues. We believe that Cash NOI is a helpful measure that both inve stors and management can use to evaluate the current financial performance of our properties and it allows for comparison of our operat ing performance between periods and to other REITs. Cash NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as an indication of ou r f inancial performance, or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity or our ability to fund all needs. The method by which we calculate an d p resent Cash NOI may not be directly comparable to the way other REITs present Cash NOI.

There were no merger related costs for the three months ended S eptember 30, 2015. 2 Effective January 1, 2016, we eliminate unrealized losses (gains) on foreign currency transactions in deriving AFFO. As a res ult of this change, we revised the prior period amounts in our reconciliation of AFFO. AFFO for three months ended September 30, 2015 was previously reported as $ 31,163, when not adjusting for the unrealized gains on foreign currency transactions of $(2,255). For the three months ended September 30th, 2016, gains on foreign currency transactions were $0.4 million, which were compromised of unrealized losses of $1.6 million offset by realized gains of $2.0 million. For AFFO purposes, we add back unrealized losses (gains).
