• Declared a monthly distribution of $0.054 per common share and operating partnership unit to be paid monthly to holders of record as of October 15, November 15, and December 15, 2021.

Commenting on the quarter, CEO David Sobelman stated, "This is a transformative time for GIPR. Following the closing of our underwritten public offering in early September, our team focused squarely on deploying the offering proceeds to generate returns for our shareholders. Since then, we placed six properties under contract, including one UPREIT transaction. Further, we believe we are on track to deploy the majority of the offering proceeds by year-end through our robust investment pipeline, which is in various stages of negotiations and due diligence." Mr. Sobelman continued, "We remain steadfastly committed to our investment principles - focusing on investment-grade credit tenants, opportunistic lease terms, diverse asset classes, and locations with a high likelihood of re-tenanting in dense markets."

Portfolio (as of September 30, 2021 unless otherwise stated)

• Approximately 78% of the annualized rent generated by the Company's real estate portfolio was generated by tenants that have (or whose parent company has) an investment grade credit rating from a recognized credit rating agency of "BBB-" or better. The Company's largest tenants are the General Service Administration, PRA Group and Pratt & Whitney, all of which have a ‘BB+' credit rating or better from S&P Global Ratings and contributed approximately 72% to the portfolio's annualized base rent.
• The Company's portfolio is 100% leased and occupied and remained so even throughout the pandemic.
• Approximately 74% of the leases in the current portfolio (based on annualized rent) provide for increases in contractual base rent during future years of the current term or during the lease extension periods.
• The average effective annual rent per square foot is $18.03. The Company generally depreciates all properties on a straight-line basis over a 30 - 50-year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

• $14.2 million in total cash (unrestricted and restricted) and cash equivalents at September 30, 2021.
• Total debt was $26.8 million as of September 30, 2021.

Financial Results

• Revenue for the third quarter of 2021 and 2020 was $1.03 million and $0.87 million, respectively, representing a year-over-year increase of 18.5%. The increase in revenue was driven by the contribution of acquired properties.
• Operating expenses for the same periods were $1.31 million and $1.28 million, representing a year-over-year increase of 2.4%.
• Net interest expense for the same periods was $0.34 million and $0.33 million, respectively, essentially flat year-over-year.
• Net income (loss) attributable to GIPR for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were income of $0.46 million as compared to a loss of $0.56 million.
• Core FFO for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $0.21 million as compared to $0.04 million.

Commenting on the company's financial results, CFO Rick Russell stated, "GIPR is in a state of positive transformation. We successfully completed an underwritten public offering that, including the partial exercise of the over-allotment, generated net proceeds of approximately $14.4 million. In conjunction with these capital markets activities, we also up-listed our common shares to trade on the NASDAQ to create greater liquidity for our shareholders." Mr. Russell concluded, "Subsequent to quarter-end, we continued our transformation and announced a commitment from American Momentum Bank for a $25 million commitment credit facility, and we welcomed Gena Cheng as a new independent director to our already-impressive Board of Directors."

Dividends

At its October 5, 2021, meeting, the Board of Directors declared a monthly distribution of $0.054 per common share and operating partnership unit to be paid monthly to holders of record as of October 15, November 15, and December 15, 2021.

Other

As previously disclosed, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, Richard Russell, has been operating in a part-time role, and as such, the Company, in conjunction with Mr. Russell, intends to begin the search for a full-time Chief Financial Officer. A specific timeline has not been established, and the Company's Board of Directors are in the initial stages of running a formal process to find a replacement.

"Rick has and continues to be an essential member of the team. As the Company continues to grow, and after a successful listing on NASDAQ, we look to build on his legacy at GIPR with a full-time Chief Financial Officer to take us into the next phase of our growth," stated, Chief Executive Officer, David Sobelman.

Richard Russell, CFO, added, "I'm thrilled with the headway made by Generation Income Properties since my appointment, but for GIPR to reach the next stage, we recognize the need for a full-time CFO. I have continued faith in their growth trajectory, I am excited to follow their progress and assist in the search for a full-time CFO."

Notice Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our reported results and net earnings per diluted share, which are financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release contains and may refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Funds from Operations ("FFO"), Core Funds From Operations ("Core FFO"), Adjusted Funds from Operations, or AFFO, Core Adjusted Funds from Operations ("Core AFFO"), or Net Debt. We believe the use of Core FFO and Core AFFO are useful to investors because they are widely accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs. FFO and AFFO should not be considered alternatives to net income as a performance measure or to cash flows from operations, as reported on our statement of cash flows, or as a liquidity measure, and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures. You should not consider our Core FFO or Core AFFO as an alternative to net income or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure and statements of why management believes these measures are useful to investors are included below.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

The following tables reconcile net income (net loss), which we believe is the most comparable GAAP measure, to FFO, Core FFO, AFFO, and Core AFFO:

Our reported results are presented in accordance with GAAP. We also disclose funds from operations (FFO) and adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) both of which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these two non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they are widely accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs.

FFO and AFFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements; accordingly, they should not be considered alternatives to net income as a performance measure or cash flows from operations as reported on our statement of cash flows as a liquidity measure and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures.

We compute FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts or NAREIT. NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude extraordinary items (as defined by GAAP), net gain or loss from sales of depreciable real estate assets, impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate assets, and real estate related depreciation and amortization, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries. We then adjust FFO for amortization of deferred financing costs, non-cash stock compensation, public company consulting fees, and non-recurring litigation expenses and settlements to calculate Core Adjusted Funds From Operations, or Core AFFO. We use FFO and Core FFO as measures of our performance when we formulate corporate goals.

To derive AFFO, we modify the NAREIT computation of FFO to include other adjustments to GAAP net income related to non-cash revenues and expenses, such as amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of capitalized lease incentives, and above- and below-market lease related intangibles. We then adjust AFFO for noncash stock compensation, public company consulting fees, and non-recurring litigation expenses and settlements to calculate Core Adjusted Funds From Operations, or Core AFFO. We use AFFO and Core AFFO as measures of our performance when we formulate corporate goals.

FFO is used by management, investors, and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers primarily because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. We believe that AFFO is an additional useful supplemental measure for investors to consider because it will help them to better assess our operating performance without the distortions created by other non-cash revenues or expenses. FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. We believe that Core FFO and Core AFFO are useful measures for management and investors because they further remove the effect of noncash expenses and certain other expenses that are not directly related to real estate operations.

Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions that are available for distribution to stockholders and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses and interest costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income. In addition, our management team believes that FFO provides useful information to the investment community about our financial performance when compared to other REITs since FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs. However, FFO should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our operating performance since it does not reflect either depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties which are significant economic costs and could materially impact our results from operations. Nor does it reflect distributions paid to redeemable non-controlling interests (See Note 6 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and Note 7 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020).
