   STORE is Single Tenant Operational Real Estate  About STORE CapitalSTORE Capital Corporation is an internally managed net-lease real estate investment trust, or REIT, that is the leader in the acquisition, investment and management of Single Tenant Operational Real Estate, or STORE Properties, which is our target market and the inspiration for our name. STORE continues the investment activities of our senior leadership team, which has been investing in single-tenant operational, or profit-center, real estate for over three decades. We are one of the largest and fastest growing net-lease REITs and own a large, well-diversified portfolio that consists of investments in 1,770 property locations aggregating $5.5 billion in gross investment dollars at June 30, 2017. Our customers operate across a wide variety of industries within the service, retail and manufacturing sectors of the U.S. economy, with restaurants, early childhood education centers, furniture stores, movie theaters and health clubs representing the top industries in our portfolio. We estimate the market for STORE Properties to be among the nation’s largest real estate sectors, exceeding $2.6 trillion in market value and including more than 1.6 million properties. For more information about STORE Capital, please visit our website at www.storecapital.com.   What We DoWe were formed to fill the needs of thousands of middle market and larger companies for efficient long-term capital for their profit-center real estate.

   STORE is a Growth REIT addressing a Large Market  TOTAL TARGET MARKET SIZE ($2.6 TRILLION)  KEY GROWTH DRIVERS  We Create DemandWe create stockholder value through more than real estate aggregation. We originate approximately 80% of our real estate investments through direct customer relationships, which offer both our customers and investors superior value. Further, 92% of our contracts were created by us or contain our preferred contract terms.We are Scalable in our OperationsAs 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 StructureOur financial flexibility starts with balanced access to multiple debt markets. We use senior unsecured investment-grade debt as an ideal complement to the A+ rated long-term mortgage notes in a program we call STORE Master Funding. These long-term debt strategies, along with our short-term unsecured borrowing capacity and over $2.5 billion in unencumbered assets, provide us with access to long-term, low-cost capital.   MARKET OVERVIEW  The market for STORE Properties exceeds $2.6 trillion in market value and includes more than 1.6 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.          3

   Portfolio Contract Quality  Expected default frequency & STORE score equivalent Ratings  We measure the credit quality of our portfolio on a contract-by-contract basis using the STORE Score, which is a proprietary risk measure reflective of both the credit risk of our tenants and the profitability of the operations at our properties.  The STORE Score is a quantitative measurement of contract risk computed by multiplying tenant default probabilities (using Moody’s RiskCalc) and estimated store closure probabilities (using a simple algorithm we developed that has closure probabilities ranging from 100% to 10%, depending on unit-level profitability).  Qualitative features can also impact investment risk, such as low property investment amounts, favorable tenant debt capital stacks, the presence of third party guarantors, or other factors.  Such qualitative factors may serve to further mitigate investment risk.  We have maintained lease contract quality, averaging approximately 75% investment grade.  10  Data as of June 30, 2017.

   Definitions and Footnotes  18  See Page 91 Represents the percentage of our lease contracts that were created by S|T|O|R|E or contain preferred contract terms such as unit-level financial reporting, triple-net lease provisions and, when applicable, master lease provisions.2 Weighted average annual lease escalation represents the weighted average annual escalation rate of the entire portfolio as if all escalations occurred annually. For escalations based on a formula including CPI, assumes the stated fixed percentage in the contract orassumes 1.5% if no fixed percentage is in the contract. For contracts with no escalations remaining in the current lease term, assumes the escalation in the extension term. Calculation excludes contracts representing less than 0.2% of annualized base rent and interest where there are no further escalations remaining in the current lease term and there are no extension options.3 S|T|O|R|E defines occupancy as a property being subject to a lease or loan contract. 4 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.  5 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, 83% of the investment portfolio involves multiple properties with a single customer, whether or not subject to a master lease.6 The average investment amount/replacement cost (new) represents the ratio of purchase price to replacement cost (new) at acquisition.7 S|T|O|R|E 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.8 The proportion of investment contracts rated investment grade represents the percentage of our contracts that have a STORE Score that is investment grade. 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.   
 

   Supplemental Reporting Measures  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 a 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 certain non‑cash revenues and expenses that have no impact on our long-term operating performance, such as straight‑line rents, amortization of deferred financing costs and stock‑based compensation. In addition, in deriving AFFO, we exclude certain other costs not related to ongoing operations, such as the amortization of lease-related intangibles and, historically, 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 certain 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 long-term operating performance. Additionally, in deriving AFFO, we exclude certain other costs, such as the amortization of lease-related intangibles and, historically, transaction costs associated with acquiring real estate subject to existing leases. We believe that these 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. Similarly, in 2016 we excluded the offering expenses incurred on behalf of our selling stockholder, STORE Holding, when it exited all of its holdings of STORE Capital common stock, as those costs are not related to our ongoing operations. 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.   19 
 

   Supplemental Reporting 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 have limitations as they do not include all items of income and expense that affect operations. 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. Our presentation of such non-GAAP measures 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.  EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Annualized Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted DebtEBITDA 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, gains/losses on dispositions of real estate and certain other expenses not related to our ongoing operations.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 June 30, 2017 had been in place as of April 1, 2017; 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 obligations excluding unamortized deferred financing costs and net debt premium, further reduced for cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash deposits held for the benefit of lenders. We believe excluding unamortized deferred financing costs and 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. Because our portfolio growth level is significant to the overall size of the Company, we believe that presenting this leverage metric on a run rate basis is more meaningful than presenting the metric for the historical quarterly period, and we refer to this metric as Adjusted Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDA—Current Estimated Run Rate. Leverage should be considered as a supplemental measure of the level of risk to which stockholder value may be exposed. Our computation of leverage may differ from the methodology employed by other companies and, therefore, may not be comparable to other measures.   20
