Management Commentary
“The second quarter of 2020 was the most challenging quarter our company has faced since the global financial crisis in 2008,” said Jeff Edison, chairman and chief executive officer of PECO. “Our talented associates rose to the occasion and demonstrated how they could successfully execute during this unprecedented time. In a matter of days, our team was deployed remotely and began implementing a revised strategy required by the difficult COVID-19 operating environment.”
“As 37% of our neighbors faced government mandates requiring them to close their doors, our team’s relentless commitment to communication and service resulted in strong collections during the quarter, which improved each month since April. Further, we deftly implemented cost cutting measures, which contributed to a 28% decrease in general and administrative expenses compared to Q2 2019.
“Because of the adaptability of our organization, and the necessity-based and essential nature of many of our neighbors, we are pleased with our results considering the environment. We believe that with a conservative, yet opportunistic, approach, we will emerge from this pandemic in a position of strength, although our near-term expectations remain tempered.
“When considering the reestablishment of our monthly distributions, we must have a higher level of confidence that our future cash flows will remain uninterrupted. The recent increase in COVID-19 cases and potential impact



Exhibit 99.1

on the economy may again negatively affect our neighbors. We believe protecting the principal value of our stockholders’ investment is paramount, and we remain committed to positioning the company for long-term growth.”

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Financial Results
Net Income (Loss)
For the second quarter of 2020, net loss totaled $6.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $42.2 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2019.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net income totaled $4.8 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $48.0 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2019.
The improvement in both periods was driven by a decrease in non-cash impairments of real estate and other assets, lower interest expense from lower interest rates, and reductions in general and administrative expenses resulting from a reduction in headcount, temporary executive salary and director compensation reductions, and estimated lower performance-based compensation. The decreases were partially offset by lower rental revenues from an increase in collectability reserves as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

FFO as Defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”)
For the second quarter ended June 30, 2020, FFO attributable to stockholders and convertible noncontrolling interests increased 15.8% to $50.0 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, from $43.1 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, during the second quarter of 2019.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, FFO attributable to stockholders and convertible noncontrolling interests increased 13.5% to $118.2 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, from $104.1 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, during the six months ended June 30, 2019.
The improvements in both periods were driven by lower non-cash impairments and other non-recurring charges as compared to 2019, along with items previously discussed for net income (loss).

Core FFO
For the second quarter of 2020, Core FFO decreased 6.1% to $51.7 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to $55.1 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, during the same year-ago period.
This decrease was primarily attributable to the decline in NOI due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including lower rent and recovery collections and an increase in rent and recovery billings that are estimated to be uncollectible. This decline was partially offset by expense reduction initiatives to lessen the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and lower interest expense as compared to the second quarter of 2019.



Exhibit 99.1

For the first six months of 2020, Core FFO increased 1.2% to $111.9 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared to $110.7 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, during the same year-ago period.
This improvement was driven by the aforementioned expense reduction initiatives and lower interest expense, partially offset by the decline in NOI due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Same-Center NOI
For the second quarter of 2020, same-center NOI decreased 5.2% to $80.3 million compared to $84.7 million during the second quarter of 2019.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, same-center NOI decreased 1.3% to $167.0 million compared to $169.2 million during the same period in 2019.
The decline in both periods was largely due to the aforementioned impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Portfolio Overview
Portfolio Statistics
At quarter-end, PECO’s wholly-owned portfolio consisted of 284 properties, totaling approximately 31.8 million square feet located in 31 states. This compares to 298 properties, totaling approximately 33.5 million square feet located in 32 states as of June 30, 2019.
Leased portfolio occupancy was 95.6%, an improvement from 94.6% at June 30, 2019. Anchor occupancy increased to 98.3% from 98.0% at June 30, 2019, while in-line occupancy increased to 90.3% from 87.9% at June 30, 2019. These strong results were driven by demand for retail space in well-located grocery-anchored neighborhood shopping centers. Leased portfolio occupancy accounts for all neighbors under an active lease; it does not consider temporarily closed neighbors.

Leasing Activity
During the second quarter of 2020, 169 leases (new, renewal and options) were executed totaling approximately 1.2 million square feet. This compared to 259 leases executed totaling approximately 1.1 million square feet during the second quarter of 2019.
Comparable rent spreads during the quarter, which compare the percentage increase (or decrease) of new or renewal leases to the expiring lease of a unit that was occupied within the past 12 months, were 15.5% for new leases, 7.1% for renewal leases (excluding options), and 8.5% combined (new and renewal leases).
During the first six months of 2020, 383 leases (new, renewal and options) were executed totaling approximately 2.3 million square feet. This compared to 529 leases executed totaling approximately 2.1 million square feet during the same year-ago period.
Comparable rent spreads during the first six months of 2020 were 10.8% for new leases, 9.2% for renewal leases (excluding options), and 9.5% combined (new and renewal leases).

Disposition & Acquisition Activity
During the quarter, the Company sold one property, generating $8.3 million in proceeds. In the near term, disposition proceeds are expected to be used to fund tax-efficient acquisitions and to help preserve liquidity during the current economic uncertainty. There were no acquisitions during the quarter.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company sold four properties, generating $25.8 million in proceeds.
During the first six months of 2020, PECO acquired land that was previously subject to a ground lease, as well as an outparcel adjacent to one of its shopping centers.
The Company may sell certain assets during the coming quarters as its capital recycling program winds down; however, the pace of dispositions and acquisitions will be impacted by the current economic uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.




Exhibit 99.1

Balance Sheet Highlights at June 30, 2020
At quarter-end, PECO had approximately $490 million of borrowing capacity available on its $500 million revolving credit facility, net of outstanding letters of credit. On April 1, 2020, the Company drew $200 million on its revolving credit facility, which was fully repaid during the quarter.

Net debt to total enterprise value (“TEV”) was 44.4% at June 30, 2020, compared to 39.5% at December 31, 2019. This increase was solely driven by the change in the estimated value per share of our common stock, as net debt decreased by $73.5 million from December 31, 2019.
Net debt to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization for real estate (“EBITDAre”) annualized was 7.1x at June 30, 2020, compared to 7.2x at December 31, 2019.
At June 30, 2020, the Company's outstanding debt had a weighted-average interest rate of 3.1%, a weighted-average maturity of 4.5 years, and 75.2% of its total debt was fixed-rate debt. This compared to a weighted-average interest rate of 3.4%, a weighted-average maturity of 5.0 years, and 89.4% fixed-rate debt at December 31, 2019.

Distributions
For the second quarter ended June 30, 2020, total distributions of $18.6 million were paid to common stockholders and operating partnership unit (“OP unit”) holders. All distributions were paid in cash as the distribution reinvestment plan is currently suspended.
For the first six months of 2020, total distributions of $74.4 million were paid to common stockholders and OP unit holders, including $15.9 million reinvested through the distribution reinvestment plan prior to its suspension, for net cash distributions of $58.5 million.
The Company made its March 2020 distribution of $0.05583344 per share ($0.67 annualized) to stockholders and OP unit holders of record as of March 16, 2020 on April 1, 2020. Following this distribution, monthly distributions were temporarily suspended.
The Company’s board of directors will reevaluate monthly distributions when they are able to better assess the impact the COVID-19 pandemic is having on the Company.
Together with Phillips Edison Grocery Center REIT II, Inc., the Company has distributed over $1.3 billion to its stockholders and OP unit holders in the form of monthly distributions to date.

Exhibit 99.1

Non-GAAP Disclosures
Same-Center Net Operating Income
We present Same-Center NOI as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define NOI as total operating revenues, adjusted to exclude non-cash revenue items, less property operating expenses and real estate taxes. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, Same-Center NOI represents the NOI for the 278 properties that were wholly-owned and operational for the entire portion of both comparable reporting periods. We believe Same-Center NOI provides useful information to our investors about our financial and operating performance because it provides a performance measure of the revenues and expenses directly involved in owning and operating real estate assets and provides a perspective not immediately apparent from net income (loss). Because Same-Center NOI excludes the change in NOI from properties acquired or disposed of after December 31, 2018, it highlights operating trends such as occupancy levels, rental rates, and operating costs on properties that were operational for both comparable periods. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Same-Center NOI, and accordingly, our Same-Center NOI may not be comparable to other REITs.
Same-Center NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance as it does not reflect the operations of our entire portfolio, nor does it reflect the impact of general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, other income (expense), or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties that could materially impact our results from operations.
Funds from Operations and Core Funds from Operations
FFO is a non-GAAP performance financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) defines FFO as net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and gains (or losses) from change in control, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for impairment losses on real estate and impairments of in-substance real estate investments in investees that are driven by measurable decreases in the fair value of the depreciable real estate held by the unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. We calculate FFO Attributable to Stockholders and Convertible Noncontrolling Interests in a manner consistent with the Nareit definition, with an additional adjustment made for noncontrolling interests that are not convertible into common stock.
Core FFO is an additional performance financial measure used by us as FFO includes certain non-comparable items that affect our performance over time. We believe that Core FFO is helpful in assisting management and investors with the assessment of the sustainability of operating performance in future periods. We believe it is more reflective of our core operating performance and provides an additional measure to compare our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that may cause short-term fluctuations in net income (loss). To arrive at Core FFO, we adjust FFO attributable to stockholders and convertible noncontrolling interests to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring items including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization of corporate assets, changes in the fair value of the earn-out liability, amortization of unconsolidated joint venture basis differences, gains or losses on the extinguishment or modification of debt, other impairment charges, and transaction and acquisition expenses.
FFO, FFO Attributable to Stockholders and Convertible Noncontrolling Interests, and Core FFO should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations under GAAP, as an indication of our liquidity, nor as an indication of funds available to cover our cash needs, including our ability to fund distributions. Core FFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate our business plan in the manner currently contemplated.
Accordingly, FFO, FFO Attributable to Stockholders and Convertible Noncontrolling Interests, and Core FFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements, and should not be viewed as more prominent measures of performance than net income (loss) or cash flows from operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our FFO, FFO Attributable to Stockholders and Convertible Noncontrolling Interests, and Core FFO, as presented, may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other REITs.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization for Real Estate and Adjusted EBITDAre
We have included the calculation of EBITDAre to better align with publicly traded REITs. Additionally, we believe that, as another important earnings metric, it is a useful indicator of our ability to support our debt obligations. Nareit defines EBITDAre as net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP before (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) gains or losses from disposition of depreciable property, and (v) impairment write-downs of depreciable property. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect EBITDAre on the same basis.
Adjusted EBITDAre is an additional performance measure used by us as EBITDAre includes certain non-comparable items that affect our performance over time. To arrive at Adjusted EBITDAre, we exclude certain



Exhibit 99.1

recurring and non-recurring items from EBITDAre, including, but not limited to: (i) changes in the fair value of the earn-out liability; (ii) other impairment charges; (iii) amortization of basis differences in our investments in our unconsolidated joint ventures; and (iv) transaction and acquisition expenses.
We use EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre as additional measures of operating performance which allow us to compare earnings independent of capital structure, determine debt service and fixed cost coverage, and measure enterprise value. EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), as an indication of our liquidity, nor as an indication of funds available to cover our cash needs, including our ability to fund distributions. Accordingly, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements, and should not be viewed as more prominent measures of performance than net income (loss) or cash flows from operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, as presented, may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other REITs.

Restricted stock awards were dilutive to FFO Attributable to Stockholders and Convertible Noncontrolling Interests per share and Core FFO per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and, accordingly, their impact was included in the weighted-average common shares used in their respective per share calculations. For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, restricted stock awards had an anti-dilutive effect upon the calculation of earnings per share and thus were excluded.
