2023 GUIDANCE

InvenTrust has updated its 2023 guidance, as summarized in the table below.

(Unaudited, dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)	Current				Previous
Net Income per diluted share (1)	$0.06	—	$0.11		$0.23	—	$0.28
NAREIT FFO per diluted share (2)	$1.64	—	$1.69		$1.64	—	$1.69
Core FFO per diluted share	$1.59	—	$1.64		$1.59	—	$1.64
Same Property NOI (“SPNOI”) Growth	3.50 %	—	5.00%		3.50 %	—	5.00%
General and administrative	$31,250	—	$32,750		$31,250	—	$32,750
Interest expense, net (3)	$34,500	—	$35,500		$34,500	—	$35,500
Adjustments for uncollectibility (4)	50 bps	—	150 bps		50 bps	—	150 bps
Net investment activity (5)	~ $150,000				~ $150,000

The Company’s 2023 Guidance contemplates the following assumptions:
(1)		Net Income per diluted share excludes effects from potential acquisitions or dispositions.
(2)		NAREIT FFO per diluted share:
		Excludes effects from potential acquisitions or dispositions.
		Excludes any items that impact NAREIT FFO comparability, including loss on debt extinguishment, non-routine or one-time items of which, in our judgement, are not pertinent to measuring on-going operating performance.
		Includes an expectation that some tenants will move from the cash basis of accounting to the accrual basis of accounting, which can result in volatility in straight-line rental income adjustments.
(3)		Interest expense, net, excludes amortization of debt discounts and financing costs, and expected interest income of $1.5 million to $2.5 million.
(4)		Adjustments for uncollectibility are reflected as basis points of expected total revenue.
(5)		Net investment activity represents anticipated acquisition activity less disposition activity.

In addition to the foregoing assumptions, the Company's 2023 Guidance incorporates a number of other assumptions that are subject to change and may be outside the control of the Company. For example, the Company’s guidance is inclusive of prior period rent that the Company anticipates collecting. If actual results vary from these assumptions, the Company's expectations may change. There can be no assurances that InvenTrust will achieve these results.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the range of the Company's 2023 estimated net income per diluted share to estimated NAREIT FFO and Core FFO per diluted share:

(Unaudited)	Low End				High End
Net income	$	0.06			$	0.11
Depreciation and amortization related to investment properties		1.58				1.58
NAREIT FFO Applicable to Common Shares and Dilutive Securities		1.64				1.69
Amortization of market-lease intangibles and inducements, net		(0.06	)			(0.06	)
Straight-line rent adjustments, net		(0.04	)			(0.04	)
Adjusting items, net (a)		0.05				0.05
Core FFO Applicable to Common Shares and Dilutive Securities	$	1.59			$	1.64

(a)

Adjusting items, net, are primarily amortization of debt discounts and financing costs, depreciation and amortization of corporate assets, and non-operating income and expenses, net, which includes items which are not pertinent to measuring on-going operating performance, such as basis difference recognition arising from acquiring the four remaining properties of our joint venture, and miscellaneous and settlement income.

The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking SPNOI to forward-looking GAAP Net Income within this press release because the Company is unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to provide a meaningful or reasonably accurate calculation or estimation of certain reconciling items which could be significant to our results.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This Earnings Release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures and other terms that management believes are helpful in understanding our business. These measures should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) or other GAAP financial measures, as an indicator of financial performance and are not alternatives to, or more meaningful than, cash flow from operating activities (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of liquidity. Non-GAAP performance measures have limitations as they do not include all items of income and expense that affect operations, and accordingly, should always be considered as supplemental financial results to those calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company's computation of these non-GAAP performance measures may differ in certain respects from the methodology utilized by other REITs and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by such other REITs. Investors are cautioned that items excluded from these non-GAAP performance measures are relevant to understanding and addressing financial performance. A reconciliation of our non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financials measures are included herein.

SAME PROPERTY NOI or SPNOI

Information provided on a same property basis includes the results of properties that were owned and operated for the entirety of both periods presented. NOI excludes general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, provision for asset impairment, other income and expense, net, gains (losses) from sales of properties, gains (losses) on extinguishment of debt, interest expense, net, equity in earnings (losses) from unconsolidated entities, lease termination income and expense, and GAAP rent adjustments such as straight-line rent adjustments, amortization of market lease intangibles, and amortization of lease incentives ("GAAP Rent Adjustments").

NAREIT FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (NAREIT FFO) and CORE FFO

Our non-GAAP measure of NAREIT Funds from Operations ("NAREIT FFO"), based on the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") definition, is net income (or loss) in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) resulting from dispositions of properties, plus depreciation and amortization and impairment charges on depreciable real property. Adjustments for our unconsolidated joint venture is calculated to reflect our proportionate share of the joint venture's NAREIT FFO on the same basis. Core Funds From Operations (“Core FFO”) is an additional supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of our operating performance. In particular, Core FFO provides an additional measure to compare the operating performance of different REITs without having to account for certain remaining amortization assumptions within NAREIT FFO and other unique revenue and expense items which some may consider not pertinent to measuring a particular company’s on-going operating performance.

ADJUSTED EBITDA

Our non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA excludes gains (or losses) resulting from debt extinguishments, straight-line rent adjustments, amortization of above and below market leases and lease inducements, and other unique revenue and expense items which some may consider not pertinent to measuring a particular company’s on-going operating performance. Adjustments for our unconsolidated joint venture is calculated to reflect our proportionate share of the joint venture's Adjusted EBITDA on the same basis.

NET DEBT-TO-ADJUSTED EBITDA

Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA is Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA on a trailing twelve month basis.

PRO RATA

Where appropriate, the Company has included the results from its ownership share of its joint venture properties when combined with the Company's wholly owned properties, defined as "Pro Rata," with the exception of property and lease count, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and as of December 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2023, as a result of the Company’s acquisition of the remaining IAGM properties, net assets of IAGM were $28.6 million, inclusive of cash and cash equivalents of $30.7 million, which has been included as part of Pro Rata Cash.
