Financial and Operating Results
Today, WHLR reported its financial and operating results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020.
2020 FOURTH QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
(all comparisons to the same prior year period unless otherwise noted)
FINANCIAL
•Net loss attributable to WHLR's common stock, $0.01 par value per share ("Common Stock") stockholders of $2.5 million, or ($0.25) per share, as compared to $4.3 million, or ($0.45) per share.
•Funds from operations ("FFO") of $1.5 million, or $0.15 per share of the Company's Common Stock and common unit ("Common Unit") in our operating partnership, Wheeler REIT, L.P., as compared to FFO of $1.1 million, or $0.11 per share.
•Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO") of $0.14 per share of the Company's Common Stock and Common Unit in our operating partnership, Wheeler REIT, L.P., as compared to $0.02 per share.
OPERATIONS
•Total revenue from continuing operations decreased by 4.82% or $774 thousand primarily due to decreases described below at the same store section and sold properties of $108 thousand.
•Signed 24 new leases totaling 130,624 square feet with a weighted-average rental rate of $7.69 per square foot.
•Executed 38 lease renewals totaling 281,491 square feet at a weighted-average increase of $0.09 per square foot, representing an increase of 1.02% over in-place rental rates.
•Total operating expenses from continuing operations decreased by 18.69% or $2.3 million primarily a result of decreases in depreciation and amortization and a 39.62% or $828 thousand decrease in corporate general and administrative expenses due to a reduction of professional fees.
SAME STORE
•Same store Net Operating Income ("NOI") decreased by 5.56% and by 2.29% on a cash basis. Same store results were impacted by a 4.16% decrease in revenue due to 1) three new anchor vacancies of which two were backfilled with rent commencing in 2021. Increases in straight-line rental revenues resulting from long-term lease extensions partially offsets the effects of the temporary vacancies. Additionally, same store property expenses decreased by 0.94% primarily driven by decreases in real estate taxes.
CAPITAL MARKETS
•On December 22, 2020, the Company and Powerscourt Investments XXII, L.P. entered into a financing agreement with proceeds of $25.0 million (the "Powerscourt Financing Agreement"). The Powerscourt Financing Agreement is at a rate of 13.50% and matures on March 31, 2023 with quarterly interest only payments beginning on January 15, 2021. In conjunction with the Powerscourt Financing Agreement, the Company issued to Powerscourt XXII, LP a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 496,415 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.
•A reduction in loans payable, excluding the Powerscourt Financing Agreement, by $7.6 million was achieved through:
◦$4.4 million payoff of the KeyBank Credit Agreement;
◦$1.8 million paydown with the sale of Riversedge North;
◦$1.4 million monthly principal payments.
•On December 31, 2020, the Company generated net cash proceeds of $1.1 million through the sale of its corporate headquarters, Riversedge North, in Virginia Beach to an unrelated party. These proceeds are net of transaction costs and repayment of the outstanding mortgage. Simultaneous with the sale, WHLR leased the building for ten years through a sale leaseback. As a result of this transaction, a gain of $49 thousand was recognized, the remaining gain of $725 thousand was deferred over the life of the lease.
•At December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately 4 assets held for sale. These assets include Columbia Fire Station, Berkley Shopping Center, a .75 acre land parcel at Berkley and two outparcels at Rivergate Shopping Center, as the Company has committed to a plan to sell each property.

2020 YEAR-TO-DATE HIGHLIGHTS
FINANCIAL
•Net loss attributable to WHLR's Common Stock stockholders of $13.6 million, or ($1.40) per share.
•FFO of $4.4 million, or $0.44 per share of the Company's Common Stock and Common Unit in our operating partnership, Wheeler REIT, L.P.
•AFFO of $0.44 per share of the Company's Common Stock and Common Unit in our operating partnership, Wheeler REIT, L.P.
OPERATIONS
•Total revenue from continuing operations decreased by 3.42% or $2.2 million.
•Total operating expenses from continuing operations decreased by 20.66% or $11.1 million primarily a result of decreases in impairments, depreciation and amortization and corporate general and administrative expenses.
SAME STORE
•Same store NOI decreased by 3.46% and by 4.20% on a cash basis. Same store results were impacted by a 2.37% decrease in revenue due to 1) three new anchor vacancies of which two were backfilled with rent commencing in 2021 and 2) an increase in the credit loss on operating receivables driven by higher accounts receivable due to impacts of COVID-19 on the portfolio. These negative impacts were partially offset by increases in straight-line rental revenues resulting from long-term lease extensions.
CAPITAL MARKETS
•Paid off the KeyBank Credit Agreement.
•Recognized $600 thousand in impairment charges on Columbia Fire Station, which is currently held for sale.
•On September 4, 2020, the Company executed Loan Modification Agreements on three properties and used the restricted cash to fund debt service for 90 days. This represented a total of $488 thousand that will be replenished over the next twelve-months.
•Wheeler REIT, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") purchased 71,343 shares of the Series D cumulative preferred stock (the "Series D Shares") on September 22, 2020 at $15.50 per share from an unaffiliated investor. These shares are deemed to be retired on the consolidated financial statements.
•On August 4, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors granted a Stock Appreciation Rights Agreement (the "SARs") as non-cash compensation to its Chief Executive Officer, Daniel Khoshaba. The SARs, which is contingent upon meeting certain market price thresholds, allows for issuance of 5,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a strike price of $1.85 per share and expires in the year 2030. The SARs will not be effective until approved by WHLR stockholders at the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing company transformation, Mr. Khoshaba has foregone an annual salary.
OTHER
•The Company recognized non-recurring other expenses of $1.0 million, which included $600 thousand in legal settlement costs and $439 thousand in reimbursement of the Stilwell Group's proxy solicitation expenses in connection with the Company's 2019 annual meeting of stockholders.
TENDER OFFER
•On December 23, 2020, the Company announced a “modified Dutch auction” tender offer to purchase up to $19.0 million in shares of its Series D Shares at a price not greater than $18.00 nor less than $15.50 per Series D Share, to the sellers in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest (the "2020 Tender Offer").
•On January 26, 2021, the Company announced, the value of the Series D Shares that the Company was offering to purchase increased from $19.0 million to $20.0 million and the tender offer was extended to February 16, 2021.
•On February 17, 2021, the Company announced that the tender offer was extended to March 12, 2021 and the value of the Series D Shares that the Company was offering to purchase decreased from $20.00 million to $6.00 million. The tender offer expired, in accordance with its terms, on March 12, 2021. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the tender offer and based on the final count, the Company accepted for purchase 387,097 Series D Shares at a purchase price of $15.50 per share, for an aggregate cost of $6.00 million, excluding fees and expenses relating to the tender offer.

COVID-19 UPDATE
WHLR continues to proactively reach out and communicate with its tenants to assist them during this difficult time. The Company continues to prioritize tenants’ requests based on the immediate and long-term impact to their businesses by evaluating all requests for rent relief on an individual basis and considering a number of factors. Not all tenant requests will ultimately result in modification agreements, nor is the Company forgoing its contractual rights under its lease agreements.
•All retail shopping centers are open and operating and feature necessity-based tenants, with 43 of the 60 properties anchored by grocery and/or drug stores.
•The Company agreed to lease modifications with nine tenants who declared bankruptcy, resulting in a weighted average rate decrease of 7.54% or $0.86 rate per square foot.
•Nine tenants vacated due to bankruptcy and three of these vacated tenants have been backfilled.
•Beginning in April 2020, the Company received certain rent relief requests, most often in the form of rent deferral requests, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company continues to evaluate each tenant's rent relief request on an individual basis, considering a number of factors. Not all tenant requests ultimately result in concessions or modification of agreements, nor is the Company forgoing its contractual rights under its lease agreements. As a result, the Company granted 148 concessions as of March 5, 2021 and modified 72 leases as of December 31, 2020, with a weighted average rate increase of 3.53% and 3 year weighted average extension term. During the three months ended December 31, 2020, the Company modified 4 leases at no rate change and five months weighted average extension term.
•The Company received 99% of its contractual base rent and tenant reimbursements billed for the year ended December 31, 2020.
•Accounts receivable related to short term deferral of rents decreased $132 thousand compared to September 30, 2020 to $257 thousand or less than 1% of annual base rent ("ABR").

•Cash and cash equivalents totaled $7.7 million, compared to $5.5 million at December 31, 2019.
•Restricted cash totaled $35.1 million, compared to $16.1 million at December 31, 2019. These funds are held in lender reserves primarily for the purpose of tenant improvements, lease commissions, real estate taxes, insurance expenses and loan proceeds to be used for the 2020 Tender Offer.
•Total debt was $353.9 million (including debt associated with assets held for sale), compared to $347.1 million at December 31, 2019.
•WHLR's weighted-average interest rate was 5.31% with a term of 3.56 years (including debt associated with assets held for sale).

Definitions
Funds from Operations (FFO): an alternative measure of a REIT's operating performance, specifically as it relates to results of operations and liquidity. FFO is a measurement that is not in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Wheeler computes FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999 and December 2018). As defined by NAREIT, FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of loan origination costs), plus impairment of real estate related long-lived assets and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Most industry analysts and equity REITs, including Wheeler, consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance because, by excluding gains or losses on dispositions and excluding depreciation, FFO is a helpful tool that can assist in the comparison of the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods, or as compared to different companies. Management uses FFO as a supplemental measure to conduct and evaluate the business because there are certain limitations associated with using GAAP net income alone as the primary measure of our operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, while historically real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions.
Adjusted FFO (AFFO): Management believes that the computation of FFO in accordance with NAREIT’s definition includes certain items that are not indicative of the operating performance of the Company’s real estate assets. These items include, but are not limited to, non-recurring expenses, legal settlements, acquisition costs and capital raise costs. Management uses AFFO, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to exclude such items. Management believes that reporting AFFO in addition to FFO is a useful supplemental measure for the investment community to use when evaluating the operating performance of the Company on a comparative basis. The Company also presents Pro Forma AFFO which shows the impact of certain activities assuming they occurred at the beginning of the year.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA): another widely-recognized non-GAAP financial measure that the Company believes, when considered with financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, is useful to investors and lenders in understanding financial performance and providing a relevant basis for comparison among other companies, including REITs. While EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for net income attributable to the Company’s common stockholders, net operating income, cash flow from operating activities, or other income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company believes that EBITDA may provide additional information with respect to the Company’s performance or ability to meet its future debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. The Company computes EBITDA by excluding interest expense, net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests, depreciation and amortization and impairment of long-lived assets and notes receivable, from income from continuing operations. The Company also presents Adjusted EBITDA which excludes affecting the comparability of the periods presented, including but not limited to, costs associated with acquisitions and capital related activities.

Net Operating Income (NOI): The Company believes that NOI is a useful measure of the Company's property operating performance. The Company defines NOI as property revenues (rental and other revenues) less property and related expenses (property operation and maintenance and real estate taxes). Because NOI excludes general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes, gain or loss on sale or capital expenditures and leasing costs, it provides a performance measure, that when compared year over year, reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating commercial real estate properties and the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. The Company uses NOI to evaluate its operating performance since NOI allows the Company to evaluate the impact of factors, such as occupancy levels, lease structure, lease rates and tenant base, have on the Company's results, margins and returns. NOI should not be viewed as a measure of the Company's overall financial performance since it does not reflect general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, impairment of impairment of long-lived assets, involuntary conversion, interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes, gain or loss on sale or disposition of assets, and the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of the Company's properties. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, the Company's NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs.
