NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
CIM Real Estate Finance Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) is a non-exchange traded real estate investment trust (“REIT”) formed as a Maryland corporation on July 27, 2010, that elected to be taxed, and operates its business to qualify, as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2012. The Company operates a diversified portfolio of core commercial real estate primarily consisting of net leased properties located throughout the United States and short duration senior secured loans and other credit investments. As of June 30, 2022, the Company owned 402 properties, including two properties owned through a consolidated joint venture arrangement (the “Consolidated Joint Venture”), comprised of 12.1 million rentable square feet of commercial space located in 45 states. As of June 30, 2022, the rentable square feet at these properties was 99.2 % leased, including month-to-month agreements, if any.

A majority of the Company’s business is conducted through CIM Real Estate Finance Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, of which the Company is the sole general partner and owns, directly or indirectly, 100 % of the partnership interests.
The Company is externally managed by CIM Real Estate Finance Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CMFT Management”), which is an affiliate of CIM Group, LLC (“CIM”). CIM is a community-focused real estate and infrastructure owner, operator, lender and developer. CIM is headquartered in Los Angeles, CA, with offices in Atlanta, GA, Bethesda, MD, Chicago, IL, Dallas, TX, New York, NY, Orlando, FL, Phoenix, AZ, and Tokyo, Japan. CIM also maintains additional offices across the Unites States, as well as in Korea, Hong Kong, and the United Kingdom to support its platform.
CCO Group, LLC is a subsidiary of CIM and owns and controls CMFT Management, the Company’s manager, and is the indirect owner of CCO Capital, LLC (“CCO Capital”), the Company’s dealer manager, and CREI Advisors, LLC (“CREI Advisors”), the Company’s property manager. CCO Group, LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively, “CCO Group”) serve as the Company’s sponsor. The Company relies upon CIM Capital IC Management, LLC, the Company’s investment advisor (the “Investment Advisor”), to provide substantially all of the Company’s day-to-day management with respect to investments in securities and certain other investments.
On January 26, 2012, the Company commenced its initial public offering on a “best efforts” basis of up to a maximum of $2.975 billion in shares of common stock (the “Offering”). The Company ceased issuing shares in the Offering on April 4, 2014. At the completion of the Offering, a total of approximately 297.4 million shares of common stock had been issued, including approximately 292.3 million shares of common stock sold to the public pursuant to the primary portion of the Offering and approximately 5.1 million shares of common stock issued pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) portion of the Offering. The remaining approximately 404,000 unsold shares from the Offering were deregistered.
The Company registered $247.0 million of shares of common stock under the DRIP (the “Initial DRIP Offering”) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-192958), which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 19, 2013 and automatically became effective with the SEC upon filing. The Company ceased issuing shares under the Initial DRIP Offering effective as of June 30, 2016. At the completion of the Initial DRIP Offering, a total of approximately $241.7 million of shares of common stock had been issued. The remaining $5.3 million of unsold shares from the Initial DRIP Offering were deregistered.
The Company registered an additional $600.0 million of shares of common stock under the DRIP (the “Secondary DRIP Offering,” and together with the Initial DRIP Offering, the “DRIP Offerings,” and the DRIP Offerings collectively with the Offering, the “Offerings”) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-212832), which was filed with the SEC on August 2, 2016 and automatically became effective with the SEC upon filing.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the statements for the interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods. Results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of full year results. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, and related notes thereto, set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The condensed consolidated financial statements should also be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the Consolidated Joint Venture in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In determining whether the Company has controlling interests in an entity and the requirement to consolidate the accounts in that entity, the Company analyzes its credit and real estate investments in accordance with standards set forth in GAAP to determine whether they are variable interest entities (“VIEs”), and if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company’s judgment with respect to its level of influence or control over an entity and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE involves consideration of various factors, including the form of the Company’s ownership interest, the Company’s voting interest, the size of the Company’s investment (including loans), and the Company’s ability to participate in major policy-making decisions. The Company’s ability to correctly assess its influence or control over an entity affects the presentation of these credit and real estate investments on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has determined that the Consolidated Joint Venture is considered a VIE. Applying the consolidation requirements for VIEs, the Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary based on its power to direct activities through its role as servicer and its obligations to absorb losses and right to receive benefits and therefore met the requirements for consolidation.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Real Estate Assets
Real estate assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company considers the period of future benefit of each respective asset to determine the appropriate useful life. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s real estate assets by class are generally as follows:
| Buildings | |||||
| Site improvements | |||||
| Tenant improvements | Lesser of useful life or lease term | ||||
| Intangible lease assets | Lease term | ||||

to be impaired and their carrying values were reduced to their estimated fair value, resulting in impairment charges of $7.9 million. The Company’s impairment assessment as of June 30, 2022 was based on the most current information available to the Company, including expected holding periods. If the Company’s expected holding periods for assets change, subsequent tests for impairment could result in additional impairment charges in the future. The Company cannot provide any assurance that additional material impairment charges with respect to the Company’s real estate assets will not occur during 2022 or in future periods. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded impairment charges of $4.4 million related to five properties, of which impairment at three properties was due to sales prices that were less than their respective carrying values and impairment at two properties was due to vacancy. The assumptions and uncertainties utilized in the evaluation of the impairment of real estate assets are discussed in detail in Note 3 — Fair Value Measurements. See also Note 4 — Real Estate Assets for further discussion regarding real estate investment activity.
Allocation of Purchase Price of Real Estate Assets
Upon the acquisition of real properties, the Company allocates the purchase price to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings and improvements, and to identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above- and below-market leases and the value of in-place leases and other intangibles, based in each case on their relative fair values. The Company utilizes independent appraisals to assist in the determination of the fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land and buildings). The information in the appraisal, along with any additional information available to the Company’s management, is used in estimating the amount of the purchase price that is allocated to land. Other information in the appraisal, such as building value and market rents, may be used by the Company’s management in estimating the allocation of purchase price to the building and to intangible lease assets and liabilities. The appraisal firm has no involvement in management’s allocation decisions other than providing this market information.
The determination of the fair values of the real estate assets and liabilities acquired requires the use of significant assumptions with regard to the current market rental rates, rental growth rates, capitalization and discount rates, interest rates and other variables. The use of alternative estimates may result in a different allocation of the Company’s purchase price, which could materially impact the Company’s results of operations.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
On March 31, 2022, the Company fully redeemed its $60.7 million investment in CIM UII Onshore, L. P. (“CIM UII Onshore”) and received 100% of the $60.7 million redemption proceeds as of June 30, 2022. Prior to redemption, the Company had less than 5 % ownership of CIM UII Onshore and accounted for its investment under the equity method. The equity method of accounting requires the investment to be initially recorded at cost, including transaction costs incurred to finalize the investment, and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s share of equity in CIM UII Onshore’s earnings and distributions. Prior to redemption, the Company recorded its share of CIM UII Onshore’s profits or losses on a quarterly basis as an adjustment to the carrying value of the investment on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet and such share is recognized as a profit or loss on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded its share of CIM UII Onshore’s gain, totaling $5.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company received distributions of $531,000 related to its investment in CIM UII Onshore, all of which was recognized as a return on investment. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s investment in CIM UII Onshore had a carrying value of $56.0 million.
CMFT MT JV Holdings, LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is engaged in an unconsolidated joint venture arrangement through CIM NP JV Holdings, LLC (“NP JV Holdings”) (the “Unconsolidated Joint Venture”), of which it owns 50 % of the outstanding equity. Through the Unconsolidated Joint Venture, which holds 90 % of the membership interest in NewPoint JV, LLC (the “NewPoint JV”) pursuant to the terms of the Operating Agreement entered into between the Unconsolidated Joint Venture and NewPoint Bridge Lending, LLC, the Company indirectly owns 45 % of the outstanding equity of the NewPoint JV on a fully diluted basis. The Company accounts for its investment under the equity method. The equity method of accounting requires the investment to be initially recorded at cost, including transaction costs incurred to finalize the investment, and is subsequently adjusted for the Company’s share of equity in NP JV Holdings’ earnings and distributions, including unrealized gains and losses as a result of changes in fair value of the NewPoint JV. The Company records its share of NP JV Holdings’ profits or losses on a quarterly basis as an adjustment to the carrying value of the investment on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet and such share is recognized as a profit or loss on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded a gain totaling $1.5 million, which represented its share of NP JV Holdings’ gain, during the six months ended June 30, 2022 in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company contributed an additional $43.3 million in NP JV Holdings. As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s aggregate investment in NP JV Holdings of $96.2 million is included in investment in unconsolidated entities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company received $2.1 million in distributions related to its investment in the NP JV Holdings during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had a controlling interest in the Consolidated Joint Venture and, therefore, met the requirements for consolidation. The Company recorded a net loss of $63,000 and paid distributions of $30,000 to the noncontrolling interest during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company recorded the noncontrolling interest of $1.0 million and $1.1 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company had $61.0 million and $36.8 million in restricted cash as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Included in restricted cash was $5.7 million and $7.8 million held by lenders in lockbox accounts, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. As part of certain debt agreements, rents from certain encumbered properties are deposited directly into a lockbox account, from which the monthly debt service payment is disbursed to the lender and the excess is disbursed to the Company. Also included in restricted cash was $55.3 million and $29.0 million of construction reserves, amounts held by lenders in escrow accounts for real estate taxes and other lender reserves for certain properties, in accordance with the associated lender’s loan agreement as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Real Estate-Related Securities
Real estate-related securities consists primarily of the Company’s investments in commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) and equity securities. The Company determines the appropriate classification for real estate-related securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company classified its investments in CMBS as available-for-sale as the Company is not actively trading the securities; however, the Company may sell them prior to their maturity. These investments are carried at their

In addition, the Company had an investment in an equity security with an estimated aggregate fair value of $47.0 million as of June 30, 2022, which is comprised of RTL Common Stock (as defined in Note 4 — Real Estate Assets) received as consideration in connection with the Purchase and Sale Agreement. These investments are carried at their estimated fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Dividends received are recorded in interest income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company monitors its available-for-sale securities for changes in fair value. A loss is recognized when the Company determines that a decline in the estimated fair value of a security below its amortized cost has resulted from a credit loss or other factors. The Company records impairments related to credit losses through current expected credit losses. However, the allowance is limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. The Company considers many factors in determining whether a credit loss exists, including, but not limited to, the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, recent events specific to the security, industry or geographic area, the payment structure of the security, the failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments, and external credit ratings and recent changes in such ratings. The analysis of determining whether a credit loss exists requires significant judgments and assumptions. The use of alternative judgments and assumptions could result in a different conclusion. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not
The amortized cost of real estate-related securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity computed under the effective interest method and is recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations in interest income. Upon the sale of a security, the realized net gain or loss is computed on the specific identification method.
Interest earned is either received in cash or capitalized to real estate-related securities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Interest is capitalized when certain conditions are met as specified in each security agreement. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company capitalized $274,000 and $546,000 , respectively, of interest income to real estate-related securities. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company capitalized $262,000 and $435,000 , respectively, of interest income to real estate-related securities.
Loans Held-for-Investment
The Company’s loans held-for-investment include loans related to real estate assets, as well as credit investments, including commercial mortgage loans and other loans and securities related to commercial real estate assets, as well as corporate loan opportunities that are consistent with the Company’s investment strategy and objectives. The Company intends to hold the loans held-for-investment for the foreseeable future or until maturity. Loans held-for-investment are carried on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at amortized cost, net of any current expected credit losses. Discounts or premiums, origination fees and exit fees are amortized as a component of interest income using the effective interest method over the life of the respective loans, or on a straight-line basis when it approximates the effective interest method. Upon the sale of a loan, the realized net gain or loss is computed on the specific identification method.
Current Expected Credit Losses
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”), on January 1, 2020. Current expected credit losses (“CECL”) required under ASU 2016-13 reflects the Company’s current estimate of potential credit losses related to the Company’s loans held-for-investment included in the
14
CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2022 (Unaudited) – (Continued)
condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes to current expected credit losses are recognized through net income on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. While ASU 2016-13 does not require any particular method for determining current expected credit losses, it does specify current expected credit losses should be based on relevant information about past events, including historical loss experience, current portfolio and market conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts for the duration of each respective loan. In addition, other than a few narrow exceptions, ASU 2016-13 requires that all financial instruments subject to the credit loss model have some amount of loss reserve to reflect the GAAP principal underlying the credit loss model that all loans, debt securities, and similar assets have some inherent risk of loss, regardless of credit quality, subordinate capital, or other mitigating factors.
The Company estimates the current expected credit loss for its first mortgage loans primarily using the Weighted Average Remaining Maturity method, which has been identified as an acceptable method for estimating CECL reserves in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Staff Q&A Topic 326, No. 1. This method requires the Company to reference historic loan loss data across a comparable data set and apply such loss rate to each loan investment over its expected remaining term, taking into consideration expected economic conditions over the relevant timeframe. The Company considers loan investments that are both (i) expected to be substantially repaid through the operation or sale of the underlying collateral, and (ii) for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, to be “collateral-dependent” loans. For such loans that the Company determines that foreclosure of the collateral is probable, the Company measures the expected losses based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell and the amortized cost basis of the loan as of the measurement date. For collateral-dependent loans that the Company determines foreclosure is not probable, the Company applies a practical expedient to estimate expected losses using the difference between the collateral’s fair value (less costs to sell the asset if repayment is expected through the sale of the collateral) and the amortized cost basis of the loan. For the Company’s liquid senior loans and corporate senior loans, the Company uses a probability of default and loss given default method using a comparable data set. The Company may use other acceptable alternative approaches in the future depending on, among other factors, the type of loan, underlying collateral, and availability of relevant historical market loan loss data.
Quarterly, the Company evaluates the risk of all loans and assigns a risk rating based on a variety of factors, grouped as follows: (i) loan and credit structure, including the as-is loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio and structural features; (ii) quality and stability of real estate value and operating cash flow, including debt yield, dynamics of the geography, property type and local market, physical condition, stability of cash flow, leasing velocity and quality and diversity of tenancy; (iii) performance against underwritten business plan; and (iv) quality, experience and financial condition of sponsor, borrower and guarantor(s).
Based on a 5-point scale, the Company’s loans are rated “1” through “5,” from least risk to greatest risk, respectively, which ratings are defined as follows:
1-Outperform — Most satisfactory asset quality and liquidity, good leverage capacity. A “1” rating maintains predictable and strong cash flows from operations. The trends and outlook for the credit's operations, balance sheet, and industry are neutral to favorable. Collateral, if appropriate, exceeds performance metrics;
2-Meets or Exceeds Expectations — Acceptable asset quality, moderate excess liquidity, modest leverage capacity. A “2” rating could have some financial/non-financial weaknesses which are offset by strengths; however, the credit demonstrates an ample current cash flow from operations. The trends and outlook for the credit's operations, balance sheet, and industry are generally positive or neutral. Collateral performance, if appropriate, meets or exceeds substantially all performance metrics included in original or current underwriting / business plan;
3-Satisfactory — Acceptable asset quality, somewhat strained liquidity, minimal leverage capacity. A “3” rating is at times characterized by acceptable cash flows from operations. The trends and conditions of the credit's operations and balance sheet are neutral. Collateral performance, if appropriate, meets or is on track to meet underwriting; business plan can reasonably be achieved;
4-Underperformance — The debt investment possesses credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses which deserve management’s close and continued attention. The portfolio company’s operations and/or balance sheet have demonstrated an adverse trend or deterioration which, while serious, has not reached the point where the liquidation of debt is jeopardized. These weaknesses are generally considered correctable by the borrower in the normal course of business but may weaken the asset or inadequately protect the Company’s credit position if not checked or corrected. Collateral performance, if appropriate, falls short of original underwriting, material differences exist from business plan, or both; technical milestones have been missed; defaults may exist, or may soon occur absent material improvement; and
15
CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2022 (Unaudited) – (Continued)
5-Default/Possibility of Loss — The debt investment is protected inadequately by the current enterprise value or paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral, if any. The underlying company’s operations have well-defined weaknesses based upon objective evidence, such as recurring or significant decreases in revenues and cash flows. Major variance from business plan; loan covenants or technical milestones have been breached; timely exit from loan via sale or refinancing is questionable; risk of principal loss. Collateral performance, if appropriate, is significantly worse than underwriting.
The Company generally assigns a risk rating of “3” to all newly originated or acquired loans held-for-investment during a most recent quarter, except in the case of specific circumstances warranting an exception.
Leases
The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. The Company has elected to not separate non-lease components from lease components for all classes of underlying assets (primarily real estate assets) and will account for the combined components as rental and other property income. Non-lease components included in rental and other property income include certain tenant reimbursements for maintenance services (including common-area maintenance services or “CAM”), real estate taxes, insurance and utilities paid for by the lessor but consumed by the lessee. As a lessor, the Company has further determined that this policy will be effective only on a lease that has been classified as an operating lease and the revenue recognition pattern and timing is the same for both types of components. The Company is not a party to any material leases where it is the lessee.
Significant judgments and assumptions are inherent in not only determining if a contract contains a lease, but also the lease classification, terms, payments, and, if needed, discount rates. Judgments include the nature of any options, including if they will be exercised, evaluation of implicit discount rates and the assessment and consideration of “fixed” payments for straight-line rent revenue calculations.
Development Activities
Project costs and expenses, including interest incurred, associated with the development, construction and lease-up of a real estate project are capitalized as construction in progress. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company capitalized $7.2 million and $4.5 million, respectively, of expenses associated with the development of condominiums acquired via foreclosure, which is included in condominium developments in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Included in the amounts capitalized during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $711,000 and $1.8 million, respectively, of capitalized interest expense.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from leasing activities
Rental and other property income is primarily derived from fixed contractual payments from operating leases, and therefore, is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, which typically begins the date the tenant takes control of the space. When the Company acquires a property, the terms of existing leases are considered to commence as of the acquisition date for the purpose of this calculation. Variable rental and other property income consists primarily of tenant reimbursements for recoverable real estate taxes and operating expenses which are included in rental and other property income in the period when such costs are incurred, with offsetting expenses in real estate taxes and property operating expenses, respectively, within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company defers the recognition of variable rental and other property income, such as percentage rents, until the specific target that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved.
The Company continually reviews whether collection of lease-related receivables, including any straight-line rent, and current and future operating expense reimbursements from tenants are probable. The determination of whether collectability is probable takes into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. Upon the
16
CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2022 (Unaudited) – (Continued)
determination that the collectability of a receivable is not probable, the Company will record a reduction to rental and other property income for amounts previously recorded and a decrease in the outstanding receivable. Revenue from leases where collection is deemed to be not probable is recorded on a cash basis until collectability becomes probable. Management’s estimate of the collectability of lease-related receivables is based on the best information available at the time of estimate. The Company does not use a general reserve approach and lease-related receivables are adjusted and taken against rental and other property income only when collectability becomes not probable.
Revenue from lending activities
Interest income from the Company’s loans held-for-investment and real estate-related securities is comprised of interest earned on loans and the accretion and amortization of net loan origination fees and discounts. Interest income on loans is accrued as earned, with the accrual of interest suspended when the related loan becomes a nonaccrual loan. Interest income on the Company’s liquid senior loans is accrued as earned beginning on the settlement date.
Reportable Segments
The Company’s segment information reflects how the chief operating decision makers review information for operational decision-making purposes. The Company has two reportable segments:
Credit — engages primarily in acquiring and originating loans, either directly or through co-investments in joint ventures, related to real estate assets. The Company may acquire first and second lien mortgage loans, mezzanine loans, bridge loans, wraparound mortgage loans, construction mortgage loans on real property and loans on leasehold interest mortgages. This segment also includes investments in real estate-related securities, liquid senior loans and corporate senior loans.
See Note 16 — Segment Reporting for a further discussion regarding these segments.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by various standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. Except as otherwise stated below, the Company is currently evaluating the effect that certain new accounting requirements may have on the Company’s accounting and related reporting and disclosures in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2021-01”). The amendments in ASU 2021-01 clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of the discontinuation of the use of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as a benchmark interest rate due to reference rate reform. ASU 2021-01 is effective immediately for all entities with the option to apply retrospectively as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, and can be applied prospectively to any new contract modifications made on or after January 7, 2021. The Company currently uses LIBOR as its benchmark interest rate for its derivative instruments, and has not entered into any new contracts on or after the effective date of ASU 2021-01. The Company has evaluated the impact of this ASU’s adoption, and does not believe this ASU will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. GAAP emphasizes that fair value is intended to be a market-based measurement, as opposed to a transaction-specific measurement.
17

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2022 (Unaudited) – (Continued)
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate the fair value. Assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from three levels of the fair value hierarchy, as follows:
Level 1 — Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market is defined as a market in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active (markets with few transactions), inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs, which are only used to the extent that observable inputs are not available, reflect the Company’s assumptions about the pricing of an asset or liability.
The following describes the methods the Company uses to estimate the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities:
Real estate-related securities — The Company generally determines the fair value of its real estate-related securities by utilizing broker-dealer quotations, reported trades or valuation estimates from pricing models to determine the reported price. Pricing models for real estate-related securities are generally discounted cash flow models that usually consider the attributes applicable to a particular class of security (e.g., credit rating, seniority), current market data, and estimated cash flows for each class and incorporate deal collateral performance such as prepayment speeds and default rates, as available. Depending upon the significance of the fair value inputs used in determining these fair values, these securities are valued using Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 inputs. As of June 30, 2022, the Company concluded that $193.1 million of its CMBS fell under Level 2 and $34.4 million of its CMBS fell under Level 3.
The Company’s equity security investment is valued using Level 1 inputs. The estimated fair value of the Company’s equity security is based on quoted market prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market.
Credit facilities and notes payable — The fair value is estimated by discounting the expected cash flows based on estimated borrowing rates available to the Company as of the measurement date. Current and prior period liabilities’ carrying and fair values exclude net deferred financing costs. These financial instruments are valued using Level 2 inputs. As of June 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of the Company’s debt was $4.11 billion, compared to a carrying value of $4.25 billion. The estimated fair value of the Company’s debt as of December 31, 2021 was $4.11 billion, compared to a carrying value of $4.17 billion.
Derivative instruments — The Company’s derivative instruments are comprised of interest rate swaps and interest rate caps. All derivative instruments are carried at fair value and are valued using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of these instruments is determined using interest rate market pricing models. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated into the fair values to account for the Company’s potential nonperformance risk and the performance risk of the respective counterparties.
Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with those derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. However, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of the Company’s derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Loans held-for-investment — The Company’s loans held-for-investment are recorded at cost upon origination and adjusted by net loan origination fees and discounts. The Company estimates the fair value of its loans held-for-investment by performing a present value analysis for the anticipated future cash flows using an appropriate market discount rate taking into consideration the credit risk. The Company has determined that its commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans held-for-investment and corporate senior loans are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s liquid senior loans are classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the number of market quotations or indicative prices from pricing services that are available, and whether the depth of the market is sufficient to transact at those prices in amounts approximating the Company’s investment position at
18
CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2022 (Unaudited) – (Continued)
the measurement date. As of June 30, 2022, $491.3 million and $149.2 million of the Company’s liquid senior loans were classified in Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, $560.4 million and $94.1 million of the Company’s liquid senior loans were classified in Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of the Company’s loans held-for-investment and related receivables, net was $3.89 billion, which approximated carrying value. As of December 31, 2021, the estimated fair value of the Company’s loans held-for-investment was $2.63 billion, compared to their carrying value of $2.61 billion.
Other financial instruments — The Company considers the carrying values of its cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, tenant receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, other liabilities, due to affiliates and distributions payable to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between their origination and their expected realization as well as their highly-liquid nature. Due to the short-term maturities of these instruments, Level 1 inputs are utilized to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments.
Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize, or be liable for, upon disposition of the financial assets and liabilities. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. The Company does not expect that changes in classifications between levels will be frequent.
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
In accordance with the fair value hierarchy described above, the following tables show the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis (Including Impairment Charges)
Certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment. The Company’s process for identifying and recording impairment related to real estate assets and intangible assets is discussed in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
As discussed in Note 4 — Real Estate Assets, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, real estate assets related to 18 properties were deemed to be impaired and their carrying values were reduced to an estimated fair value of $110.5 million, resulting in impairment charges of $11.3 million. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, certain condominium units were deemed to be impaired and their carrying values were reduced to their estimated fair value, resulting in impairment charges of $7.9 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, real estate assets related to five properties were deemed to be impaired and their carrying values were reduced to an estimated fair value of $31.2 million, resulting in impairment charges of $4.4 million. The Company estimates fair values using Level 3 inputs and a combined income and market approach, specifically using discounted cash flow analysis and recent comparable sales transactions. The evaluation of real estate assets for potential impairment requires the Company’s management to exercise significant judgment and to make certain key assumptions, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) terminal capitalization rates; (2) discount rates; (3) the number of years the property will be held; (4) property operating expenses; and (5) re-leasing assumptions, including the number of months to re-lease, market rental income and required tenant improvements. There are inherent uncertainties in making these estimates such as market conditions and the future performance and sustainability of the Company’s tenants. The Company determined that the selling prices used to determine the fair values were Level 2 inputs.
The following summarizes the ranges of discount rates and terminal capitalization rates used for the Company’s impairment test for the real estate assets during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Actual maturities of real estate-related securities can differ from contractual maturities because borrowers on certain corporate credit securities may have the right to prepay their respective debt obligations at any time. In addition, factors such as prepayments and interest rates may affect the yields on such securities.
In estimating credit losses related to real estate-related securities, management considers a variety of factors, including (1) whether the Company has the intent to sell the impaired security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis, (2) whether the Company expects to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for anticipated recovery in fair value, and (3) whether the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had no credit losses related to real estate-related securities.

Troubled Debt Restructuring
An individual financial instrument is classified as a troubled debt restructuring when there is a reasonable expectation that the financial instrument’s contractual terms will be modified in a manner that grants concessions to the borrower who is experiencing financial difficulties. Concessions could include term extensions, payment deferrals, interest rate reductions,
27
CIM REAL ESTATE FINANCE TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2022 (Unaudited) – (Continued)
principal forgiveness, forbearance, or other actions designed to maximize the Company’s collection on the financial instrument. Current expected credit losses for financial instruments that are troubled debt restructurings are determined individually.
The Company also classifies a financial instrument as a troubled debt restructuring when receivables from third parties, real estate, or other assets are transferred from the debtor to the creditor in order to fully or partially satisfy a debt, such as in the event of a foreclosure or repossession. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the borrower on the Company’s eight mezzanine loans became delinquent on certain required reserve payments. Throughout 2020, the borrower remained delinquent on the required reserve payments and became delinquent on principal and interest. As a result, the Company classified the loans as a troubled debt restructuring and commenced foreclosure proceedings during the year ended December 31, 2020. Upon completing foreclosure in January 2021, the Company took control of the assets which previously secured the loans, including 75 condominium units and 21 rental units across four buildings. As a result of the foreclosure, the Company recorded a $58.0 million decrease to its provision for credit losses related to its mezzanine loans during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Risk Ratings
As further described in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Company evaluates its loans held-for-investment portfolio on a quarterly basis. Each quarter, the Company assesses the risk factors of each loan, and assigns a risk rating based on several factors. Factors considered in the assessment include, but are not limited to, loan and credit structure, current LTV ratio, debt yield, collateral performance, and the quality and condition of the sponsor, borrower, and guarantor(s). Loans are rated “1” (less risk) through “5” (greater risk), which ratings are defined in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
The Company’s primary credit quality indicator is its risk ratings, which are further discussed above. The following table presents the net book value of the Company’s loans held-for-investment portfolio as of June 30, 2022 by year of origination, loan type, and risk rating (dollar amounts in thousands):

NOTE 9 — DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
In the normal course of business, the Company uses certain types of derivative instruments for the purpose of managing or hedging its interest rate risk. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, one of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements matured, four of the Company’s interest rate cap agreements matured, and the Company terminated one interest rate swap agreement prior to the maturity date. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had one non-designated interest rate cap agreement and three interest rate swap agreements designated as hedging instruments. Subsequent to June 30, 2022, one of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements matured, as further discussed in Note 17 — Subsequent Events.
The following table summarizes the terms of the Company’s interest rate cap agreements and interest rate swap agreements as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (dollar amounts in thousands):

____________________________________
(1)The interest rate consists of the underlying index swapped or capped to a fixed rate as of June 30, 2022.
Additional disclosures related to the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments are included in Note 3 — Fair Value Measurements. The notional amount under the derivative instruments is an indication of the extent of the Company’s involvement in each instrument, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks.
Accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use and designation of the derivative instrument. The Company has interest rate caps that are used to manage exposure to interest rate movements, but do not meet the requirements to be designated as hedging instruments. The change in fair value of the derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges is recorded directly to earnings in interest expense and other, net on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges in order to hedge the variability of the anticipated cash flows on its variable rate debt. The change in fair value of the derivative instruments designated as hedges is recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income, with a portion of the amount subsequently reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable rate debt. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the amount of loss reclassified from other comprehensive (loss) income as an increase to interest expense was $69,000 and $62,000 , respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the amount of loss reclassified from other comprehensive (loss) income as an increase to interest expense was $71,000 and $3.2 million, respectively. The total unrealized gain on interest rate swaps of $2.5 million as of June 30, 2022, and the total unrealized gain on interest rate swaps of $152,000 as of December 31, 2021, respectively, is included in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates that $203,000 will be reclassified from other comprehensive (loss) income as an increase to interest expense. The Company includes cash flows from interest rate swap agreements in net cash flows provided by operating activities on its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, as the Company’s accounting policy is to present cash flows from hedging instruments in the same category in its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as the category for cash flows from the hedged items.
The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain provisions whereby if the Company defaults on certain of its unsecured indebtedness, the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations, resulting in an acceleration of payment. If the Company had breached any of these provisions, it could have been required to

Borrowings under the Third Amended Credit and Security Agreement will bear interest equal to the one-month Term SOFR (as defined in the Third Amended Credit and Security Agreement) for the relevant interest period, plus an applicable rate. The applicable rate is dependent on the type of loan being financed, which includes broadly syndicated, private and middle market loans meeting certain criteria as set forth in the Third Amended Credit and Security Agreement and ranges from 1.90 % to 2.75 % per annum during the first two years of the reinvestment period and 2.00 % to 2.85 % during the last year of the reinvestment period and 2.10 % to 2.95 % per annum during the amortization period (and, in each case, an additional 2.00 % per annum following an event of default under the Third Amended Credit and Security Agreement).

NOTE 14 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Equity-Based Compensation
On August 10, 2018, the Board approved the adoption of the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”), under which 400,000 of the Company’s shares of common stock were reserved for issuance and awards of approximately 284,000 shares of common stock were available for future grant at June 30, 2022. On April 27, 2022, the Board and the compensation committee of the Board approved the Amended and Restated CIM Real Estate Finance Trust, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”) and the 2022 Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on July 12, 2022. The 2022 Plan supersedes and replaces the 2018 Plan. Awards that are granted on or after the effective date of the 2022 Plan are subject to the terms and provisions of the 2022 Plan. The total number of shares of Company common stock reserved and available for issuance under the 2022 Plan at any time during the term of the 2022 Plan are 250,000 shares, which is a reduction from 400,000 shares authorized for issuance under the 2018 Plan. Under the 2022 Plan, the Board or the compensation committee of the Board has the authority to grant certain awards to employees, non-employee directors, and consultants or advisors of the Company, including stock option awards, restricted stock awards or deferred stock awards, which awards will further align such persons’ interests with the interests of the Company’s stockholders. The Board or the compensation committee of the Board also has the authority to determine the terms of any award granted pursuant to the 2022 Plan, including vesting schedules, restrictions and acceleration of any restrictions. The 2022 Plan may be amended or terminated by the Board or the compensation committee of the Board at any time, subject to the right of the Company’s stockholders to approve certain amendments.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company has granted awards of approximately 116,000 restricted shares in the aggregate to the independent members of the Board under the 2018 Plan. As of June 30, 2022, 73,000 of the restricted shares had vested based on one year of continuous service. The remaining 43,000 restricted shares issued had not vested or been forfeited as of June 30, 2022. The fair value of the Company’s share awards is determined using the Company’s per share NAV on the date of grant. Compensation expense related to the restricted shares is recognized over the vesting period. The Company recorded compensation expense of $120,000 and $157,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $49,000 and $89,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, related to the restricted shares, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2022, there was $285,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to these restricted shares, which will be recognized ratably over the applicable remaining service period.
NOTE 15 — LEASES
The Company’s real estate assets are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms, expirations and extension options vary. The Company’s operating leases do not convey to the lessee the right to purchase the underlying asset upon expiration of the lease period. To determine whether a contract contains a lease, the Company reviews contracts to determine if the agreement conveys the right to control the use of an asset. The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components as a single, combined operating lease component. Non-lease components primarily consist of maintenance services, including CAM, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities paid for by the lessor but consumed by the lessee. Non-lease components are considered to be variable rental and other property income and are recognized in the period incurred.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s leases had a weighted-average remaining term of 10.6 years. Certain leases include provisions to extend the lease agreements, options for early termination after paying a specified penalty, rights of first refusal to purchase the property at competitive market rates, and other negotiated terms and conditions. The Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to tenants. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

A certain amount of the Company’s rental and other property income is from tenants with leases which are subject to contingent rent provisions. These contingent rents are subject to the tenant achieving periodic revenues in excess of specified levels. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the amount of the contingent rent earned by the Company was not significant.
Rental and other property income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 consisted of the following (in thousands):

(2)Consists primarily of tenant reimbursements for recoverable real estate taxes and property operating expenses, and percentage rent.
The Company has one property subject to a non-cancelable operating ground lease with a remaining term of 11.2 years, with a lease liability (in ) and a related right-of-use (“ROU”) asset (in ) of $2.2 million in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The lease liability and ROU asset were initially measured at the present value of the future minimum lease payments using a discount rate of 4.3 %. This reflects the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, which was calculated based on the interest rate the Company would incur to borrow on a fully collateralized basis over a term similar to the lease.
The Company recognized $63,000 and $125,000 of ground lease expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, of which $61,000 and $121,000 was paid in cash during the period it was recognized. As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s scheduled future minimum rental payments related to its operating ground lease is approximately $125,000 for the remainder of 2022, $250,000 1.4 million thereafter through the maturity date of the lease in August 2033.
NOTE 16 — SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company has two reportable segments: real estate and credit. Corporate/other represents all corporate level and unallocated items and includes the Company’s other asset management activities and operating expenses. There were no changes in the structure of the Company’s internal organization that prompted the change in reportable segments. Prior period amounts have been revised to conform to the current year presentation shown below.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We make statements in this section that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Certain risks may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the following discussion. For a complete discussion of such risk factors, see Item 1A — Risk Factors of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed to those terms in “Part I — Financial Information” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained therein, and the terms “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to CIM Real Estate Finance Trust, Inc.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” (within the meaning of the federal securities laws, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that reflect our expectations and projections about our future results, performance, prospects and opportunities. We have attempted to identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seek,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “targets,” “intends,” “should,” “estimates,” “could,” “continue,” “assume,” “projects,” “plans” or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to us and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things, those discussed below. In addition, these risks and uncertainties include those associated with (i) the scope, severity and duration of the current pandemic of COVID-19 and actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, (ii) the potential adverse effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance of the Company and its tenants, the real estate market and the global economy and financial markets, among others, and (iii) general economic, market and other conditions. We intend for all such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, as applicable by law. We do not undertake to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of changes in underlying assumptions or new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required to satisfy our obligations under federal securities law. The forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risk factors identified in Item 1A — Risk Factors of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The following are some, but not all, of the assumptions, risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:
•We may be unable to renew leases, lease vacant space or re-lease space as leases expire on favorable terms or at all.
•We are subject to risks associated with tenant, geographic and industry concentrations with respect to our investments and properties.
•Our properties, intangible assets and other assets, as well as the property securing our loans or other investments, may be subject to impairment charges.
•We could be subject to unexpected costs or unexpected liabilities that may arise from dispositions.
•We are subject to competition in the acquisition and disposition of properties and in the leasing of our properties and we may suffer delays or be unable to acquire, dispose of, or lease properties on advantageous terms.
•We are subject to risks associated with bankruptcies or insolvencies of our borrowers and tenants and from borrower or tenant defaults generally.
•Our credit and real estate investments subject us to the political, economic, capital markets and other conditions in the United States, including with respect to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and other events that impact the United States.
•We are subject to fluctuations in interest rates which could reduce our ability to generate income on our credit investments.
•We are subject to an increase in inflation that could increase our credit and real estate portfolio related costs at a higher rate than our rental income and other revenue and adversely impact demand for rental space and future extensions of our tenants’ leases.
•We are subject to competition from entities engaged in lending which may impact the availability of origination and acquisition opportunities acceptable to us.
44
•We have substantial indebtedness, which may affect our ability to pay distributions and expose us to interest rate fluctuation risk and the risk of default under our debt obligations.
•We are subject to risks associated with the incurrence of additional secured or unsecured debt.
•We may not be able to maintain profitability.
•We may not generate cash flows sufficient to pay our distributions to stockholders or meet our debt service obligations.
•Our continued compliance with debt covenants depends on many factors and could be impacted by current or future economic conditions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
•We may be affected by risks resulting from losses in excess of insured limits.
•We may fail to remain qualified as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
•We may be unable to successfully reposition our portfolio or list our shares on a national securities exchange in the timeframe we expect or at all.
Definitions
We use certain defined terms throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have the following meanings:
The phrase “annualized rental income” refers to the straight-line rental revenue under our leases on operating properties owned as of the respective reporting date, which includes the effect of rent escalations and any tenant concessions, such as free rent, and excludes any contingent rent, such as percentage rent. Management uses annualized rental income as a basis for tenant, industry and geographic concentrations and other metrics within the portfolio. Annualized rental income is not indicative of future performance.
Under a “net lease,” the tenant occupying the leased property (usually as a single tenant) does so in much the same manner as if the tenant were the owner of the property. The tenant generally agrees that it will either have no ability or only limited ability to terminate the lease or abate rent prior to the expiration of the term of the lease as a result of real estate driven events such as casualty, condemnation or failure by the landlord to fulfill its obligations under the lease. There are various forms of net leases, most typically classified as either triple-net or double-net. Triple-net leases typically require the tenant to pay all expenses associated with the property (e.g., real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance and repairs, including roof, structure and parking lot). Double-net leases typically hold the landlord responsible for the capital expenditures for the roof and structure, while the tenant is responsible for all lease payments and remaining operating expenses associated with the property (e.g., real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance).
Overview
We are primarily focused on originating, acquiring, financing and managing shorter duration senior secured loans, other related credit investments and core commercial real estate. Our investment strategy allows us to adapt over time in order to respond to evolving market conditions and to capitalize on investment opportunities that may arise at different points in the economic and real estate investment cycle. We are continuing our strategy as a credit focused REIT, balancing our existing core of necessity commercial real estate assets leased to creditworthy tenants under long-term net leases with a portfolio of commercial mortgage loans and other credit investments. Assuming the successful repositioning of our portfolio and subject to market conditions, we then expect to pursue a listing of our common stock on a national securities exchange, though we can provide no assurances that a listing will happen on that timeframe or at all.
We were formed on July 27, 2010, and we elected to be taxed, and conduct our operations to qualify, as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We have no paid employees and are externally managed by CMFT Management and, with respect to investments in securities and certain other of our investments, our Investment Advisor, each of which is an affiliate of CIM, a community-focused real estate and infrastructure owner, operator, lender and developer.
As of June 30, 2022, we owned 402 properties, which consisted of 378 retail properties, 13 industrial properties, 10 office properties, and one anchored shopping center, representing 33 industry sectors and comprising 12.1 million rentable square feet of commercial space located in 45 states. As of June 30, 2022, we owned condominium developments with a net book value of $152.5 million.
As of June 30, 2022, our loan portfolio consisted of 341 loans with a net book value of $3.9 billion, and investments in real estate-related securities of $274.4 million.
In furtherance of our strategy, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, we disposed of 112 properties and an outparcel of land, encompassing 10.6 million gross rentable square feet. On December 20, 2021, certain subsidiaries of the Company
45
entered into the Purchase and Sale Agreement to sell 79 shopping centers and two single-tenant properties, for which we were to receive, in the aggregate, approximately $1.32 billion in total consideration at closing. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the sale of 80 properties closed under the Purchase and Sale Agreement for total consideration of $1.3 billion, as further discussed in Note 4 — Real Estate Assets to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The remaining property is classified as held for sale in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2022 with a carrying value of $66.2 million. The sale of the final property closed for total consideration of $68.3 million subsequent to June 30, 2022, as further discussed in Note 17 — Subsequent Events to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Our operating results and cash flows are primarily influenced by rental and other property income from our commercial properties, interest income from our credit investments, interest expense on our indebtedness and investment and operating expenses. As 99.2% of our rentable square feet was under lease, including any month-to-month agreements, as of June 30, 2022, with a weighted average remaining lease term of 10.6 years, we believe our exposure to changes in commercial rental rates on our portfolio is substantially mitigated, except for vacancies caused by tenant bankruptcies or other factors, including due to circumstances related to COVID-19. Our manager regularly monitors the creditworthiness of our tenants by reviewing each tenant’s financial results, any available credit rating agency reports on the tenant or guarantor, the operating history of the property with such tenant, the tenant’s market share and track record within its industry segment, the general health and outlook of the tenant’s industry segment and other information for changes and possible trends. If CMFT Management identifies significant changes or trends that may adversely affect the creditworthiness of a tenant, it will gather a more in-depth knowledge of the tenant’s financial condition and, if necessary, attempt to mitigate the tenant credit risk by evaluating the possible sale of the property or identifying a possible replacement tenant should the current tenant fail to perform on the lease. In addition, our manager reviews our investment portfolios and is in regular contact with our borrowers, monitoring performance of the collateral and enforcing our rights as necessary.
COVID-19
We are closely monitoring the negative impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic and the efforts to mitigate its spread are having on the economy, our tenants and our business. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our operations and those of our tenants will depend on future developments, including, among other factors, the duration, spread and resurgences of the virus, including certain variants thereof, along with related travel advisories and restrictions, the recovery time of the disrupted supply chains and industries, the impact of labor market interruptions, the impact of government interventions, the pace, scope and efficacy of vaccination programs, and general uncertainty as to the impact of COVID-19, including related variants, on the global economy.
Macroeconomic Environment
The U.S. Federal Reserve’s recent actions to increase interest rates in order to control inflation have created further uncertainty for the economy and for our borrowers and tenants. Although the majority of our business model is such that rising interest rates will, all else being equal, correlate to increases in our net income, increases in interest rates may adversely affect our existing borrowers, tenants and owned property values. It is difficult to predict the full impact of recent changes and any future changes in interest rates or inflation.

Results of Operations
Overview
We are not aware of any material trends or uncertainties, other than those listed in the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and national economic conditions affecting real estate in general that may reasonably be expected to have a material impact on our results from the acquisition, management and operation of properties. Currently, we are unable to predict the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in future periods due to numerous uncertainties.
Same Store Analysis
Our results of operations are influenced by the timing of acquisitions and the operating performance of our real estate assets. We review our stabilized operating results, measured by net operating income, from properties that we owned for the entirety of both the current and prior year reporting periods, referred to as “same store” properties, and we believe that the presentation of operating results for same store properties provides useful information to stockholders. Net operating income is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of a real estate company’s operating performance. Net operating income is considered by management to be a helpful supplemental performance measure, as it enables management to evaluate the impact of occupancy, rents, leasing activity and other controllable property operating results at our real estate properties, and it provides a consistent method for the comparison of our properties. We define net operating income as operating revenues less operating expenses, which exclude (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest expense and other non-property related revenue and expense items such as (a) general and administrative expenses, (b) expense reimbursements to related parties, (c) management fees, (d) transaction-related expenses, (e) real estate impairment, (f) increase in provision for credit losses, (g) gain on disposition of real estate and condominium developments, net, (h) merger-related expenses, net and (i) interest income. Our calculation of net operating income may not be comparable to that of other REITs and should not be considered to be more relevant or accurate in evaluating our operating performance than the current GAAP methodology used in calculating net income. In determining the same store property pool, we include all properties that were owned for the entirety of both the current and prior reporting periods, except for properties during the current or prior year that were under development or redevelopment.

Credit Segment
Interest Income
The increase in interest income of $28.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was due to an increase in the overall size of our investment portfolio. As of June 30, 2022, we held investments in CRE loans held-for-investment of $3.2 billion, liquid senior loans of $684.9 million, corporate senior loans of $55.2 million, and CMBS and other securities of $274.4 million. As of June 30, 2021, we held investments in CRE loans held-for-investment of $872.2 million, liquid senior loans of $484.1 million, and CMBS of $42.1 million.
Increase in Provision for Credit Losses
The increase in provision for credit losses of $4.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to the increased number of loan investments entered into during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021.
Real Estate Segment
A total of 307 properties were acquired before April 1, 2021 and represent our “same store” properties during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. “Non-same store” properties, for purposes of the table below, includes properties acquired or disposed of on or after April 1, 2021.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
The increase in loss on extinguishment of debt of $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to the increase in terminations of certain mortgage notes in connection with the disposition of the underlying properties during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021.
Gain on Investment in Unconsolidated Entities
The increase in gain on investment in unconsolidated entities of $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was due to the Company’s investment in NP JV Holdings, which was not invested in by the Company during the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Interest Expense and Other, Net
Interest expense and other, net also includes amortization of deferred financing costs.
The increase in interest expense and other, net, of $18.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to an increase in the three-month average aggregate amount of debt outstanding from $2.2 billion as of June 30, 2021 to $4.1 billion as of June 30, 2022 as a result of entering into and upsizing additional repurchase agreements, originating the Mortgage Loan and Class A Notes, and assuming the CIM Income NAV Credit Facility as part of the CIM Income NAV Merger subsequent to June 30, 2021. In addition, interest expense and other, net was further increased by the unrealized loss on the Company’s equity security of $4.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022.
50
Gain on Disposition of Real Estate and Condominium Developments, Net
The increase in gain on disposition of real estate and condominium developments, net, of $34.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was due to the disposition of 43 properties and an outparcel of land for a gain of $81.2 million, partially offset by the disposition of condominium units for a loss of $74,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the disposition of 46 properties for a gain of $45.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Real Estate Impairment
The increase in real estate impairments of $15.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was due to 11 properties and certain condominium units that were deemed to be impaired, resulting in impairment charges of $16.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to one property that was deemed to be impaired, resulting in impairment charges of $77,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Depreciation and Amortization
The decrease in depreciation and amortization of $6.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to the disposition of 182 properties subsequent to June 30, 2021, partially offset by the acquisition of 115 properties through the CIM Income NAV Merger that closed in December 2021.
Transaction-Related Expenses
The increase in transaction-related expenses of $419,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to escrow holdbacks that were deemed uncollectible as of June 30, 2022 and were therefore written off. No such write-offs occurred during the same period in 2021.
Management Fees
We pay CMFT Management a management fee pursuant to the Management Agreement, payable quarterly in arrears, equal to the greater of (a) $250,000 per annum ($62,500 per quarter) and (b) 1.50% per annum (0.375% per quarter) of the Company’s Equity (as defined in the Management Agreement). Furthermore, as discussed in Note 12 — Related-Party Transactions and Arrangements to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, pursuant to the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement, for management of investments in the Managed Assets (as defined in the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement), CMFT Securities pays the Investment Advisor the Investment Advisory Fee, payable quarterly in arrears, equal to 1.50% per annum (0.375% per quarter) of CMFT Securities’ Equity (as defined in the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement). Because the Managed Assets are excluded from the calculation of management fees payable by the Company to CMFT Management pursuant to the Management Agreement, the total management and advisory fees payable by the Company to its external advisors are not increased as a result of the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement. In addition, pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, in connection with providing investment management services with respect to the corporate credit-related securities held by CMFT Securities, on a quarterly basis, the Investment Advisor designates 50% of the sum of the Investment Advisory Fee payable to the Investment Advisor as sub-advisory fees.
The increase in management fees of $1.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to increased equity from the issuance of common stock in connection with the CIM Income NAV Merger that closed in December 2021.
Expense Reimbursements to Related Parties
Pursuant to the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement, CMFT Securities reimburses the Investment Advisor for costs and expenses incurred by the Investment Advisor on its behalf. Additionally, we may be required to reimburse certain expenses incurred by CMFT Management in providing management services, subject to limitations as set forth in the Management Agreement (as discussed in Note 12 — Related-Party Transactions and Arrangements to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).
The increase in expense reimbursements to related parties of $567,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to increased operating expense reimbursements due to CMFT Management, primarily as a result of increased allocated payroll resulting from increased portfolio activity.
51
General and Administrative Expenses
The primary general and administrative expense items are legal and accounting fees, banking fees and transfer agency and board of directors costs.
General and administrative expenses remained generally consistent during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021.
Net Operating Income
Same store property net operating income increased $1.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. The increase was partially due to an increase in same store occupancy to 98.9% as of June 30, 2022 from 98.8% as of June 30, 2021.
Non-same store property net operating income decreased $11.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the disposition of 182 properties subsequent to June 30, 2021, partially offset by an increase in net operating income due to the acquisition of 115 properties in connection with the CIM Income NAV Merger that closed in December 2021.

Credit Segment
Interest Income
The increase in interest income of $48.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was due to an increase in the overall size of our investment portfolio.

As of June 30, 2021, we held investments in CRE loans held-for-investment of $872.2 million, liquid senior loans of $484.1 million, and CMBS of $42.1 million.
Increase in Provision for Credit Losses
The increase in provision for credit losses of $9.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to the increased number of loan investments entered into during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
The increase in loss on extinguishment of debt of $14.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to the increased terminations of certain mortgage notes in connection with the disposition of the underlying properties during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021.
Gain on Investment in Unconsolidated Entities
The increase in gain on investment in unconsolidated entities of $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was due to the Company’s investment in CIM UII Onshore and NP JV Holdings, neither of which were invested in by the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Interest Expense and Other, Net
The increase in interest expense and other, net, of $29.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to an increase in the six-month average aggregate amount of debt outstanding from $2.4 billion as of June 30, 2021 to $4.2 billion as of June 30, 2022 as a result of entering into and upsizing additional repurchase agreements, originating the Mortgage Loan and Class A Notes, and assuming the CIM Income NAV Credit Facility as part of the CIM Income NAV Merger subsequent to June 30, 2021. In addition, interest expense and other, net was further increased by the unrealized loss on the Company’s equity security of $6.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Gain on Disposition of Real Estate and Condominium Developments, Net
The increase in gain on disposition of real estate and condominium developments, net, of $67.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to the disposition of 112 properties and one outparcel of land for a gain of $110.4 million and the disposition of condominium units for a gain of $3.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the disposition of 47 properties for a gain of $45.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The increase in impairments of $14.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was due to 18 properties and certain condominium units that were deemed to be impaired, resulting in impairment charges of $19.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to five properties that were deemed to be impaired, resulting in impairment charges of $4.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
53
Depreciation and Amortization
The decrease in depreciation and amortization of $13.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to the disposition of 182 properties subsequent to June 30, 2021, partially offset by the acquisition of 115 properties through the CIM Income NAV Merger that closed in December 2021.
Transaction-Related Expenses
The increase in transaction-related expenses of $422,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to escrow holdbacks that were deemed uncollectible as of June 30, 2022 and were therefore written off. No such write-offs occurred during the same period in 2021.
Management Fees
The increase in management fees of $3.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to increased equity from the issuance of common stock in connection with the CIM Income NAV Merger that closed in December 2021.
Expense Reimbursements to Related Parties
The increase in expense reimbursements to related parties of $1.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to increased operating expense reimbursements due to CMFT Management, primarily as a result of increased allocated payroll resulting from increased portfolio activity.
General and Administrative Expenses
The decrease in general and administrative expenses of $878,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to increased legal expenses incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2021 related to the foreclosure completed in January 2021 to take control of the assets which previously secured the Company’s mezzanine loans, as discussed in Note 8 — Loans Held-For-Investment to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Such foreclosure activity did not occur during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The overall decrease was partially offset by increased expenses related to the assumption of the CIM Income NAV Credit Facility in connection with the CIM Income NAV Merger completed in December 2021.
Net Operating Income
Same store property net operating income increased $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. The increase was partially due to an increase in same store occupancy to 98.9% as of June 30, 2022 from 98.8% as of June 30, 2021.
Non-same store property net operating income decreased $6.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the disposition of 182 properties subsequent to June 30, 2021, partially offset by an increase in net operating income due to the acquisition of 115 properties in connection with the CIM Income NAV Merger that closed in December 2021.
Distributions
Prior to April 1, 2020, on a quarterly basis, our Board authorized a daily distribution for the succeeding quarter. Our Board authorized the following daily distribution amounts per share for the periods indicated below:
| Period Commencing | Period Ending | Daily Distribution Amount | ||||||||||||
| April 14, 2012 | December 31, 2012 | $0.001707848 | ||||||||||||

On April 20, 2020, our Board decided to make a determination as to the amount and timing of distributions on a monthly, instead of a quarterly, basis until such time that we had greater visibility into the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic would have on our tenants’ ability to continue to pay rent on their leases on a timely basis or at all, the degree to which federal, state or local governmental authorities grant rent relief or other relief or amnesty programs applicable to our tenants, our ability to access the capital markets, and on the United States and worldwide financial markets and economy. On March 25, 2021, the Board resumed declaring distributions on a quarterly basis, which are paid out on a monthly basis.
Since April 2020, our Board authorized the following monthly distribution amounts per share, payable to stockholders as of the record date for the applicable month, for the periods indicated below:
| Period Commencing | Period Ending | Monthly Distribution Amount | ||||||||||||
| April 2020 | May 2020 | $0.0130 | ||||||||||||

(3)Net proceeds on the repurchase facilities, credit facilities and notes payable for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $292.2 million.
Share Redemptions
Our share redemption program permits our stockholders to sell their shares of common stock back to us, subject to certain conditions and limitations. We will limit the number of shares redeemed pursuant to our share redemption program as follows: (1) we will not redeem in excess of 5% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12 months prior to the end of the fiscal quarter for which the redemptions are being paid; and (2) funding for the redemption of shares will be limited, among other things, to the net proceeds we receive from the sale of shares under our DRIP, net of shares redeemed to date. In an effort to accommodate redemption requests throughout the calendar year, we will generally limit quarterly redemptions to approximately 1.25% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12-month period ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter for which the redemptions are being paid, and to the net proceeds we receive from the sale of shares in the respective quarter under the Secondary DRIP Offering. Any of the foregoing limits might prevent us from accommodating all redemption requests made in any fiscal quarter or in any 12-month period. We will determine whether we have sufficient funds and/or shares available as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal quarter, but in any event prior to the applicable payment date. If we cannot purchase all shares presented for redemption in any fiscal quarter, based upon insufficient cash available from DRIP and/or the limit on the number of shares we may redeem during any quarter or year, we will give priority to the redemption of deceased stockholders’ shares. While deceased stockholders’ shares will be included in
55
calculating the maximum number of shares that may be redeemed in any annual or quarterly period, they will not be subject to the annual or quarterly percentage caps; therefore, if the volume of requests to redeem deceased stockholders’ shares in a particular quarter were large enough to cause the annual or quarterly percentage caps to be exceeded, even if no other redemption requests were processed, the redemptions of deceased stockholders’ shares would be completed in full, assuming sufficient proceeds from the sale of shares under our DRIP, net of shares redeemed to date, were available. If sufficient proceeds from the sale of shares under our DRIP, net of shares redeemed to date, were not available to pay all such redemptions in full, the requests to redeem deceased stockholders’ shares would be honored on a pro rata basis. We next will give priority to requests for full redemption of accounts with a balance of 250 shares or less at the time we receive the request, in order to reduce the expense of maintaining small accounts. Thereafter, we will honor the remaining redemption requests on a pro rata basis. Following such quarterly redemption period, if a stockholder would like to resubmit the unsatisfied portion of the prior request for redemption, such stockholder must submit a new request for redemption of such shares prior to the last day of the new quarter. Unfulfilled requests for redemption will not be carried over automatically to subsequent redemption periods. In addition, our management reserves the right, in its sole discretion at any time, and from time to time, to reject any request for redemption for any reason. Our Board may choose to amend the terms of, suspend or terminate our share redemption program at any time in its sole discretion if it believes that such action is in the best interest of us and our stockholders. Any material modifications or suspension of the share redemption program will be disclosed to our stockholders as promptly as practicable in our reports filed with the SEC and via our website. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we received valid redemption requests under our share redemption program totaling approximately 49.6 million shares, of which we redeemed approximately 1.4 million shares as of June 30, 2022 for $10.0 million (at an average redemption price of $7.20 per share) and approximately 1.3 million shares subsequent to June 30, 2022 for $9.4 million (at a redemption price of $7.20 per share). The remaining redemption requests relating to approximately 46.9 million shares went unfulfilled. A valid redemption request is one that complies with the applicable requirements and guidelines of the share redemption program then in effect. The share redemptions were funded with proceeds from the Secondary DRIP Offering and available borrowings.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
We expect to utilize proceeds from real estate dispositions, sales proceeds and principal payments received on credit investments, cash flows from operations and future proceeds from secured or unsecured financing to complete future acquisitions and loan originations, repayment of certain indebtedness and for general corporate uses. The sources of our operating cash flows will primarily be provided by interest income from our portfolio of credit investments and the rental and other property income received from current and future leased properties.
Sources of Liquidity
Our primary sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents and available borrowings under our debt facilities, which are set forth in the following table:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal demands for funds will be for the acquisition of real estate-related securities, real estate and real estate-related assets and the payment of tenant improvements, acquisition-related expenses, operating expenses, distributions, redemptions and interest and principal on current and any future debt financings, including principal repayments of $504.2 million within the next 12 months, $228.3 million of which was paid down subsequent to June 30, 2022, as further discussed in Note 17 — Subsequent Events to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Subsequent to June 30, 2022, we entered into a new credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase which provides for borrowings of $300.0 million, the proceeds of which were used to pay down the $212.5 million outstanding balance under the CIM Income NAV Credit Facility. We also exercised the Deutsche Bank Repurchase Facility’s first extension option which was set to mature on October 8, 2022, extending the date of maturity to October 8, 2023.
Generally, we expect to meet our liquidity requirements through cash proceeds from real estate asset dispositions, net cash provided by operations and proceeds from the Secondary DRIP Offering, as well as secured or unsecured borrowings from banks and other lenders to finance our future acquisitions and loan originations. We expect that substantially all net cash flows from operations will be used to pay distributions to our stockholders after certain capital expenditures, including tenant improvements and leasing commissions, are paid; however, we have used, and may continue to use, other sources to fund distributions, as necessary, including borrowings on our unencumbered assets. To the extent that cash flows from operations are lower, distributions paid to our stockholders may be lower. Operating cash flows are expected to increase as we complete future acquisitions. We expect that substantially all net cash flows from the Secondary DRIP Offering or debt financings will be used to fund acquisitions, loan originations, certain capital expenditures, repayments of outstanding debt or distributions and redemptions to our stockholders. We believe that the resources stated above will be sufficient to satisfy our operating requirements for the foreseeable future, and we do not anticipate a need to raise funds from sources other than those described above within the next 12 months. Management intends to use the proceeds from the disposition of properties to, among other things, acquire additional high-quality net-lease properties and credit investments in furtherance of our investment objectives and for other general corporate purposes.
Contractual Obligations
As of June 30, 2022, we had debt outstanding with a carrying value of $4.2 billion and a weighted average interest rate of 3.3%. See Note 10 — Repurchase Facilities, Credit Facilities and Notes Payable to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for certain terms of our debt outstanding.

(1)The table does not include amounts due to CMFT Management or its affiliates pursuant to our Management Agreement because such amounts are not fixed and determinable. The table also does not include $370.9 million of unfunded commitments related to our existing CRE loans held-for-investment and corporate senior loans held-for-investment and $115.7 million of unfunded commitments related to the NewPoint JV, which are subject to the satisfaction of borrower milestones. In addition, the table does not include $2.0 million of unfunded liquid senior loans and $22.4 million of unsettled liquid senior loan acquisitions, the unsettled amount of which is included in cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
(2)As of June 30, 2022, we had $15.8 million of variable rate debt effectively fixed through the use of interest rate swap agreements. We used the effective interest rates fixed under our interest rate swap agreements to calculate the debt payment obligations in future periods.
(3)Interest payments on the variable rate debt, first lien mortgage loan, ABS mortgage notes, credit facilities and repurchase facilities have been calculated based on outstanding balances as of June 30, 2022 through their respective maturity dates. This is only an estimate as actual amounts borrowed and interest rates could vary over time.
We expect to incur additional borrowings in the future to acquire additional properties and credit investments. There is no limitation on the amount we may borrow against any single improved property. As of June 30, 2022, our ratio of debt to total gross assets net of gross intangible lease liabilities was 60.8% and our ratio of debt to the fair market value of our gross assets net of gross intangible lease liabilities was 60.5%. Fair market value of our first mortgage loans is based on the estimated market value as of June 30, 2022. Fair market value of the remaining credit investments is based on the market value as of June 30, 2022. Fair market value of our real estate assets is based on the estimated market value as of March 31, 2021 that was used to determine our estimated per share NAV, and for those assets acquired from April 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022 is based on the purchase price.
Cash Flow Analysis
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the disposition of 182 properties subsequent to June 30, 2021, offset by the acquisition of 115 properties through the CIM Income NAV Merger. See “— Results of Operations” for a more complete discussion of the factors impacting our operating performance.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities increased $14.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. The change was primarily due to an increase in the net investment in loans held-for-investment of $676.6 million and an increase in the net investment of real estate-related securities of $257.0 million, partially offset by an increase in proceeds from disposition of real estate assets of $900.8 million.
Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities increased $62.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. The change was primarily due to an increase in net proceeds on the repurchase
58
facilities, notes payable and credit facilities of $88.4 million, partially offset by an increase in redemptions of common stock of $19.7 million due to the reinstatement of the share redemption program on April 1, 2021.
Election as a REIT
We elected to be taxed, and operate our business to qualify, as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2012. To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must continue to meet certain requirements relating to our organization, sources of income, nature of assets, distributions of income to our stockholders and recordkeeping. As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal income tax on taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders so long as we distribute at least 90% of our annual taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains).
If we fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT for any reason in a taxable year and applicable relief provisions do not apply, we will be subject to tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. We will not be able to deduct distributions paid to our stockholders in any year in which we fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT. We also will be disqualified for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost, unless we are entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, we believe that we are organized and operate in such a manner as to maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. No provision for federal income taxes has been made in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. We are subject to certain state and local taxes related to the operations of properties in certain locations, which have been provided for in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Accounting Estimates
Our accounting policies have been established to conform with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Management believes that we have made these estimates and assumptions in an appropriate manner and in a way that accurately reflects our financial condition. We continually test and evaluate these estimates and assumptions using our historical knowledge of the business, as well as other factors, to ensure that they are reasonable for reporting purposes. However, actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, thus resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. We believe the following critical accounting policies govern the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements, which should be read in conjunction with the more complete discussion of our accounting policies and procedures included in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. We consider our critical accounting policies to be the following:
•Recoverability of Real Estate Assets;
•Allocation of Purchase Price of Real Estate Assets; and
•Current Expected Credit Losses.
A complete description of such policies and our considerations is contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 and related notes thereto.
Related-Party Transactions and Agreements
We have entered into agreements with CMFT Management and our Investment Advisor whereby we agree to pay certain fees to, or reimburse certain expenses of, CMFT Management, the Investment Advisor or their affiliates. In addition, we have invested in, and may continue to invest in, certain co-investments with funds that are advised by an affiliate of CMFT Management. We may also originate loans to third parties that use the proceeds to finance the acquisition of real estate from funds that are advised by an affiliate of CMFT Management. See Note 12 — Related-Party Transactions and Arrangements to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the various related-party transactions, agreements and fees.

Conflicts of Interest
Richard S. Ressler, the chairman of our Board, chief executive officer and president, who is also a founder and principal of CIM and is an officer/director of certain of its affiliates, is the vice president of our manager. One of our directors, Avraham Shemesh, who is also a founder and principal of CIM and is an officer/director of certain of its affiliates, is the president and treasurer of our manager. Additionally, two of our directors, Jason Schreiber and Emily Vande Krol, are employees of CIM. Nathan D. DeBacker, our chief financial officer and treasurer, is a vice president of our manager and is an officer of certain of its affiliates. As such, there may be conflicts of interest where CMFT Management or its affiliates, while serving in the capacity as sponsor, general partner, officer, director, key personnel and/or advisor for CIM or another program sponsored or operated by affiliates of our manager, may be in conflict with us in connection with providing services to other real estate-related programs related to property acquisitions, property dispositions, and property management, among others. The compensation arrangements between affiliates of CMFT Management and these other real estate programs sponsored or operated by affiliates of our manager could influence the advice provided to us. See Part I, Item 1. Business — Conflicts of Interest in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market Risk
The market risk associated with financial instruments and derivative financial instruments is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices or interest rates. Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk relating to variable-rate borrowings. To meet our short and long-term liquidity requirements, we borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to manage our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time, we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as swaps, collars and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We do not intend to hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes. We do not have any foreign operations and thus we are not exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including fiscal and monetary policies and domestic and international economic and political considerations, as well as other factors beyond our control. We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with our investments and the related financing obligations. In general, we seek to match the interest rate characteristics of our investments with the interest rate characteristics of any related financing obligations such as repurchase agreements, bank credit facilities, term loans, revolving facilities and securitizations.
As of June 30, 2022, we had an aggregate of $3.2 billion of variable rate debt, excluding any debt subject to interest rate swap agreements and interest rate cap agreements, and therefore, we are exposed to interest rate changes in LIBOR and SOFR. As of June 30, 2022, an increase or decrease of 50 basis points in interest rates would result in an increase or decrease in interest expense of $16.2 million per year.
As of June 30, 2022, we had three interest rate swap agreements and one interest rate cap agreement outstanding, which had maturity dates ranging from July 2022 through July 2023, with an aggregate notional amount of $805.8 million and an aggregate fair value of the net derivative asset of $1.9 million. The fair value of these interest rate swap agreements and interest rate cap agreements is dependent upon existing market interest rates and spreads. As of June 30, 2022, an increase of 50 basis points in interest rates would result in a change of $1.6 million to the fair value of the net derivative asset, resulting in a net derivative asset of $3.5 million. A decrease of 50 basis points in interest rates would result in a $1.1 million change to the fair value of the net derivative asset, resulting in a net derivative liability of $758,000. Subsequent to June 30, 2022, one of our interest rate swap agreements matured, as further discussed in Note 17 — Subsequent Events to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
As the information presented above includes only those exposures that existed as of June 30, 2022, it does not consider exposures or positions arising after that date. The information presented herein has limited predictive value. Future actual realized gains or losses with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on cumulative exposures, hedging strategies employed and the magnitude of the fluctuations.
These amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rate changes on our borrowing costs and assume no other changes in our capital structure.
In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) that regulates LIBOR announced its intent to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve

Bank of New York organized the Alternative Reference Rates Committee which identified the SOFR as its preferred alternative to U.S. dollar LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. On December 31, 2021, the FCA ceased publishing one week and two-month LIBOR, and the FCA intends to cease publishing all remaining LIBOR after June 30, 2023. This announcement has several implications, including setting the spread that may be used to automatically convert contracts from LIBOR to SOFR. The Company anticipates that LIBOR will continue to be available at least until June 30, 2023. Any changes adopted by FCA or other governing bodies in the method used for determining LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR. If that were to occur, our interest payments could change. In addition, uncertainty about the extent and manner of future changes may result in interest rates and/or payments that are higher or lower than if LIBOR were to remain available in its current form.
As of June 30, 2022, we have interest rate swap agreements and interest rate cap agreements maturing on various dates from July 2022 through July 2023, as further discussed above, that are indexed to LIBOR. As such, we are monitoring and evaluating the related risks, which include interest on loans or amounts received and paid on derivative instruments. These risks arise in connection with transitioning contracts to a new alternative rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur. The value of loans or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR could also be impacted if LIBOR is limited or discontinued. For some instruments, the method of transitioning to an alternative reference rate may be challenging, especially if we cannot agree with the respective counterparty about how to make the transition.
If a contract is not transitioned to an alternative rate and LIBOR is discontinued, the impact on our contracts is likely to vary by contract. If LIBOR is discontinued or if the methods of calculating LIBOR change from their current form, interest rates on our current or future indebtedness may be adversely affected.
While we expect LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until at least the end of June 30, 2023, it is possible that LIBOR will become unavailable prior to that point. This could result, for example, if sufficient banks decline to make submissions to the LIBOR administrator. In that case, the risks associated with the transition to an alternative reference rate will be accelerated and magnified.
Alternative rates and other market changes related to the replacement of LIBOR, including the introduction of financial products and changes in market practices, may lead to risk modeling and valuation challenges, such as adjusting interest rate accrual calculations and building a term structure for an alternative rate.
The introduction of an alternative rate also may create additional basis risk and increased volatility as alternative rates are phased in and utilized in parallel with LIBOR.
Credit Risk
Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of tenants are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations, including those to us, to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. We are subject to tenant, geographic and industry concentrations. Any downturn of the economic conditions in one or more of these tenants, states or industries could result in a material reduction of our cash flows or material losses to us.
The factors considered in determining the credit risk of our tenants include, but are not limited to: payment history; credit status and change in status, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (credit ratings for public companies are used as a primary metric); change in tenant space needs (i.e., expansion/downsize); tenant financial performance; economic conditions in a specific geographic region; and industry specific credit considerations. We believe that the credit risk of our portfolio is reduced by the high quality of our existing tenant base, reviews of prospective tenants’ risk profiles prior to lease execution and consistent monitoring of our portfolio to identify potential problem tenants and mitigation options.
Our loans and investments are also subject to credit risk. The performance and value of our loans and investments depend upon the owners’ ability to operate the properties that serve as our collateral so that they produce cash flows adequate to pay interest and principal due to us. To monitor this risk, our manager reviews our investment portfolios and in certain instances is in regular contact with our borrowers, monitoring performance of the collateral and enforcing our rights as necessary.
Item 4.Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to us, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In
61
designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that no controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, an evaluation as of June 30, 2022 was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of June 30, 2022, were effective at a reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No change occurred in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, we may become subject to litigation or claims. We are not aware of any material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, to which we or our subsidiaries are a party or to which our properties are the subject.
Item 1A.Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Item 2.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Our share redemption program permits our stockholders to sell their shares of common stock back to us, subject to certain conditions and limitations. We will limit the number of shares redeemed pursuant to our share redemption program as follows: (1) we will not redeem in excess of 5% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12 months prior to the end of the fiscal quarter for which the redemptions are being paid; and (2) funding for the redemption of shares will be limited, among other things, to the net proceeds we receive from the sale of shares under our DRIP, net of shares redeemed to date. In an effort to accommodate redemption requests throughout the calendar year, we will generally limit quarterly redemptions to approximately 1.25% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the trailing 12-month period ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter for which the redemptions are being paid, and to the net proceeds we receive from the sale of shares in the respective quarter under the Secondary DRIP Offering. Any of the foregoing limits might prevent us from accommodating all redemption requests made in any fiscal quarter or in any 12-month period. As of June 30, 2022, the estimated per share NAV was $7.20, which was determined by the Board on May 25, 2021 using a valuation date of March 31, 2021.
In general, we redeem shares on a quarterly basis. Shares are redeemed with a trade date no later than the end of the month following the end of each fiscal quarter. Any redemption capacity that is not used as a result of the withdrawal or rejection of redemption requests may be used to satisfy the redemption requests of other stockholders received for that fiscal quarter, and such redemption payments may be made at a later time than when that quarter’s redemption payments are made. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we redeemed shares, including those redeemable due to death, as follows:
