PLYMOUTH INDUSTRIAL REIT REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

BOSTON, August 3, 2023 – Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. (NYSE: PLYM) (the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023 and other recent developments.

Second Quarter and Subsequent Highlights

Jeff Witherell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Plymouth Industrial REIT, noted, “We are making great progress on our objectives with over 88% of lease expirations already addressed for 2023, and we are well ahead of expectations on the 2024 lease expirations. Strategic utilization of our ATM program and visibility into near-term, one-off dispositions allowed us to announce the redemption of our remaining preferred stock. This redemption, along with strong organic growth and contributions from the development program, improve the balance sheet. With an estimated rental rate mark-to-market of 18% to 20% across our portfolio, continued rent growth in our markets, and strong operating fundamentals, we are well positioned to continue delivering organic growth.”

Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2023

Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was $3.6 million, or $(0.08) per weighted average common share outstanding, compared with $6.6 million, or $(0.17) per weighted average common share outstanding, for the same period in 2022. The net loss decreased year-over-year primarily due to an increase in net operating income, partially offset by increased interest expense resulting from higher interest rates and acquisition activity. Weighted average common shares outstanding for the second quarters ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were 42.6 million and 39.1 million, respectively.

Consolidated total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 were $49.9 million, compared with $45.6 million for the same period in 2022.

NOI for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was $34.2 million compared with $31.8 million for the same period in 2022. Same store NOI (“SS NOI”) excluding early termination income – GAAP basis for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was $30.5 million compared with $29.5 million for the same period in 2022, an increase of 3.5%. SS NOI excluding early termination income – Cash basis for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was $29.8 million compared with $28.2 million for the same period in 2022, an increase of 6.0%. SS NOI for the second quarter was positively impacted by rent escalations and renewal and new leasing spreads. The same store portfolio is comprised of 183 buildings totaling 31.0 million square feet, or 90.5% of the Company’s total portfolio, and was 98.9% occupied as of June 30, 2023.

EBITDAre for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was $30.4 million compared with $27.7 million for the same period in 2022.

Core FFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was $19.9 million compared with $18.6 million for the same period in 2022, primarily as a result of the growth in same-store NOI, contribution from acquisitions and a decrease in preferred stock dividends resulting from the full conversion of the Series B Convertible Stock, partially offset by an increase in interest expense. The Company reported Core FFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 of $0.46 per weighted average common share and unit compared with $0.47 per weighted average common share and unit for the same period in 2022. Weighted average common shares and units outstanding for the second quarters ended June 30, 2023, and 2022 were 43.5 million and 39.9 million, respectively.

AFFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was $18.5 million, or $0.42 per weighted average common share and unit, compared with $16.5 million, or $0.41 per weighted average common share and unit, for the same period in 2022. The results reflected the aforementioned changes in Core FFO and a reduction in recurring capital expenditures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Definitions

Net Operating Income (NOI): We consider net operating income, or NOI, to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income in that it helps both investors and management understand the core operations of our properties. We define NOI as total revenue (including rental revenue and tenant reimbursements) less property-level operating expenses. NOI excludes depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, impairments, gain/loss on sale of real estate, interest expense, and other non-operating items.

EBITDAre: We define earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for real estate in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). EBITDAre represents net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, before interest expense, tax, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on the sale of rental property, appreciation (depreciation) of warrants, loss on impairments, and loss on extinguishment of debt. We believe that EBITDAre is helpful to investors as a supplemental measure of our operating performance as a real estate company as it is a direct measure of the actual operating results of our industrial properties.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”): Funds from operations, or FFO, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance. We consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of our operating performance as it is based on a net income analysis of property portfolio performance that excludes non-cash items such as depreciation. The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values rise and fall with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT, using historical accounting for depreciation, could be less informative. In December 2018, NAREIT issued a white paper restating the definition of FFO. The purpose of the restatement was not to change the fundamental definition of FFO, but to clarify existing NAREIT guidance. The restated definition of FFO is as follows: Net Income (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding: (i) Depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (ii) Gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, (iii) Gain and losses from change in control, and (iv) Impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity.

We define FFO consistent with the NAREIT definition. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. Other equity REITs may not calculate FFO as we do, and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.

Core Funds from Operations (“Core FFO”): Core FFO represents FFO reduced by dividends paid (or declared) to holders of our preferred stock, acquisition and transaction related expenses for transactions not completed, and certain non-cash operating expenses such as impairment on real estate lease, appreciation (depreciation) of warrants and loss on extinguishment of debt. As with FFO, our reported Core FFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ Core FFO, should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of our funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.

Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”): Adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, is presented in addition to Core FFO. AFFO is defined as Core FFO, excluding certain non-cash operating revenues and expenses, capitalized interest and recurring capitalized expenditures. Recurring capitalized expenditures include expenditures required to maintain and re-tenant our properties, tenant improvements and leasing commissions. AFFO further adjusts Core FFO for certain other non-cash items, including the amortization or accretion of above or below market rents included in revenues, straight line rent adjustments, non-cash equity compensation and non-cash interest expense.

We believe AFFO provides a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance because it provides a consistent comparison of our operating performance across time periods that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of our properties. As a result, we believe that the use of AFFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provide a more complete understanding of our operating performance. As with Core FFO, our reported AFFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ AFFO, should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of our funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.
