Capital Markets and Balance Sheet

Capital Markets

During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, the Company completed a follow-on public offering of 3,450,000 shares of common stock in connection with a forward sale agreement. Upon settlement, the offering, which included the full exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares, is anticipated to raise net proceeds of approximately $162.9 million after deducting fees and expenses. The net proceeds will be subject to certain adjustments as provided in the forward sale agreement.

The Company has not received any proceeds from the sale of shares of its common stock by the forward purchaser. Selling common stock through the forward sale agreement enabled the Company to set the price of such shares upon pricing the offering (subject to certain adjustments) while delaying the issuance of such shares and the receipt of the net proceeds by the Company.

Balance Sheet

As of March 31, 2018, the Company's net debt to recurring EBITDA was 4.8 times and its fixed charge coverage ratio was 4.2 times. The Company's total debt to total enterprise value was 27.0%.  Total enterprise value is calculated as the sum of total debt and the market value of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock, assuming conversion of operating partnership units into common stock.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company's fully diluted weighted-average shares outstanding were 30.9 million. The basic weighted-average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were 30.8 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company's fully diluted weighted-average shares and units outstanding were 31.2 million. The basic weighted-average shares and units outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were 31.1 million.

The Company's assets are held by, and its operations are conducted through, Agree Limited Partnership, of which the Company is the sole general partner.  As of March 31, 2018, there were 347,619 operating partnership units outstanding and the Company held a 98.9% interest in the operating partnership.

2018 Investment Guidance

The Company's outlook for acquisition volume in 2018, which assumes continued growth in economic activity, moderate interest rate growth, positive business trends and other significant assumptions, remains between $250 million and $300 million of high-quality retail net lease properties.  The Company's disposition guidance for 2018 remains between $25 million and $50 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures



Funds from Operations ("FFO")

The Company considers the non-GAAP measures of FFO and FFO per share/unit to be key supplemental measures of the Company's performance and should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss as a measure of the Company's operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, most real estate industry investors consider FFO to be helpful in evaluating a real estate company's operations.



The White Paper on FFO approved by NAREIT in April 2002, as revised in 2011, defines FFO as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of properties and items classified by GAAP as extraordinary, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization and impairment writedowns, and after comparable adjustments for the Company's portion of these items related to unconsolidated entities and joint ventures. The Company computes FFO consistent with standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than the Company.



The Company believes that excluding the effect of extraordinary items, real estate-related depreciation and amortization and impairments, which are based on historical cost accounting and which may be of limited significance in evaluating current performance, can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs, even though FFO does not represent an amount that accrues directly to common shareholders. However, FFO may not be helpful when comparing the Company to non-REITs.



FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities as determined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income or loss, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. FFO is not a measurement of the Company's liquidity, nor is FFO indicative of funds available to fund the Company's cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. These measurements do not reflect cash expenditures for long-term assets and other items that have been and will be incurred. FFO may include funds that may not be available for management's discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures, property acquisitions, and other commitments and uncertainties. To compensate for this, management considers the impact of these excluded items to the extent they are material to operating decisions or the evaluation of the Company's operating performance.



Adjusted Funds from Operations

The Company presents adjusted FFO (including adjusted FFO per share/unit), which adjusts for certain additional items including straight-line accrued rent, deferred revenue recognition, stock based compensation expense, non-real estate depreciation and debt extinguishment costs and certain other items. The Company excludes these items as it believes it allows for meaningful comparisons with other REITs and between periods and is more indicative of the ongoing performance of its assets. As with FFO, the Company's calculation of adjusted FFO may be different from similar adjusted measures calculated by other REITs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures



Recurring EBITDA


The Company considers the non-GAAP measure of recurring EBITDA to be a key supplemental measure of the Company's performance and should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income or loss as a measure of the Company's operating performance. The Company considers recurring EBITDA a key supplemental measure of the Company's operating performance because it represents the Company's earnings run rate for the period presented and because it is widely followed by industry analysts, lenders and investors.  Our recurring EBITDA may not be comparable to recurring EBITDA reported by other companies that have a different interpretation of the definition of recurring EBITDA. Our ratio of net debt to recurring EBITDA, which is used by the Company as a measure of leverage, is calculated by taking recurring EBITDA and dividing it by our net debt per the consolidated balance sheet. 



Any differences are a result of rounding.
