Generation Income Properties, Inc.

Announces First-Quarter 2021 Financial Results


For Immediate Release


Tampa, FL – May 19th, 2021 – Generation Income Properties, Inc. (OTCQB: GIPR) (“GIP” or the “Company”) today announced its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Portfolio was 100% occupied and all tenants paid contractual rents on time

 

 

 

 

Approximately $0.7 million of cash remained on hand as of March 31, 2021

 

 

 

 

Net loss was approximately $322 thousand as compared to the prior year quarter loss of $351 thousand

CEO David Sobelman


“GIP remains focused on showing progression each quarter in our financial results and positioning our portfolio for both stability and growth in the coming months,” said founder and CEO David Sobelman. “We are proving our ability to source quality assets as evidenced by our acquisitions thus far in 2021 including another property for $1.7 million in April 2021.”


Financial Results


Revenue


During the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, total revenues from operations were approximately $937 thousand as compared to $881 thousand for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020. Revenues increased $56 thousand due to two additional properties generating revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 that were purchased in November 2020 and February 2021.


Operating Expenses


During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we incurred total expenses of approximately $1.26 million and $1.23 million, respectively.


During the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, general, administrative and organizational (“GAO”) was $238 thousand for 2021 and $241 thousand for 2020.


During the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we incurred building expenses of approximately $181 thousand and $189 thousand, respectively. The $9 thousand decrease is primarily due to reduced maintenance costs of $5 thousand, lower property asset management fees of $9 thousand offset in part by increased property insurance expense of $6 thousand.




During the three-month period ended March 31, 2021and 2020, we incurred depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $380 thousand and $357 thousand, respectively. The $23 thousand increase is due to the two additional properties acquired since November 2020.


During the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we incurred interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs of $354,989 and $376,290 respectively. The $21 thousand decrease in interest expense incurred is the result of $3.4 million of loans in which the interest rates change based on 30 day LIBOR and due to the interest rate reduction from 4.25% to 3.50% in March 2021 for approximately $13 million of loans.


During the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we incurred compensation costs of $105,651 and $67,693 respectively. The $38 thousand increase is reflective of additional personnel hires and their related compensation for the three-month period in 2021.


Income Tax Benefit


We did not record an income tax benefit for the three-months ended March 31, 2021 or 2020 because we have been in a net loss situation since inception and have recorded a valuation allowance to offset any tax benefits generated by the operating losses.


Net Loss


During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we generated a net loss of approximately $322 thousand and $351 thousand, respectively. The increased loss was the result of increased GAO costs, interest expense and depreciation and amortization.


Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interests


During the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, net income attributable to non-controlling interest was approximately $151 thousand as compared to a net income of $143 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The variance is attributable to the increase in distributions provided to the redeemable non-controlling interests which include amounts paid to the limited partnership interests held at the Operating Partnership for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 of $37 thousand and $21 thousand, respectively.


Net Loss Attributable to Shareholders


During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021and 2020, we generated a net loss attributable to our shareholders of approximately $473 thousand and $494 thousand, respectively.


Core Funds From Operations


Core FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $134 thousand and $76 thousand, respectively; a $58 thousand improvement over the prior year comparable period. Core FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of Core FFO to GAAP net income is included in the schedules attached hereto.


Liquidity


As of March 31, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, we had approximately $0.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of cash on hand. As of March 31, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, we had total current liabilities (excluding the current portion of the acquired lease intangible liability) of approximately $684 thousand and $565 thousand respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures


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. 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, above- and below-market lease related intangibles, non-cash stock compensation, and non-cash compensation. Such items may cause short-term fluctuations in net income but have no impact on operating cash flows or long-term operating performance. We use AFFO as one measure 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 also use Core FFO and Core AFFO to adjust for non-capitalized costs incurred by the Company in relation to initial public company status and costs incurred with up-listing to Nasdaq. These costs will typically include non-cash stock compensation, consulting fees to investment banks, consultants for advice for public company status and distribution on redeemable non-controlling interest OP Units. Core FFO and Core AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. The following table reconciles net income (which we believe is the most comparable GAAP measure) to FFO and AFFO:
