• The Company collected 97% of its billed rent and other recoverable expenses for the third quarter and deferred an additional 1%. The reduction in collections from the first quarter is due to a fitness tenant at one location.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had cash on hand of $160.5 million, including $7.2 million of restricted cash. The Company expects to use these sources of liquidity, together with a combination of future sales and/or potential debt and capital markets transactions, to fund its operations and select development activity. The availability of funding from sales of assets, partnerships and credit or capital markets transactions is subject to various conditions, including the consent of the Company’s lender under its $1.6 billion term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”), and there can be no assurance that such transactions will be consummated.

Dispositions

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company sold five properties, generating $76.8 million of gross proceeds. Of the third quarter transactions:

• $5.1 million of gross proceeds were from vacant assets sold at $22.87 PSF. The sale of these assets eliminates $0.5 million of carrying costs.
• $71.7 million of gross proceeds were from stabilized asset sales at a 5.6% blended in-place capitalization rate.

As of November 2, 2021, the Company had assets under contract for sale representing anticipated gross proceeds of $224.4 million, subject to buyer diligence and closing conditions. The Company intends to realize cumulative gross proceeds of more than $350.0 million in 2021 through its ongoing capital recycling program. Since Seritage began its capital recycling program in July 2017, the Company has raised approximately $1.3 billion of gross cash proceeds from the sale of wholly-owned properties or joint venture interests in 110 properties, plus outparcels at various properties.

Development Activity

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company invested $77.6 million in its consolidated development and operating properties and an additional $31.7 million into its unconsolidated entities, including $32.6 million and $10.4 million, respectively during the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Multi-Tenant Retail: During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company invested $32.1 million in its multi-tenant retail properties. The last two multi-tenant retail development projects at Roseville, Calif. and Ft. Wayne, Ind. are slated for their grand openings in the fourth quarter of 2021 and third quarter of 2022, respectively, and the remaining capital expenditures in the multi-tenant retail portfolio are primarily comprised of tenant improvements. During the third quarter, the Company opened stores representing 115 thousand square feet and $1.9 million of annual base rent. In total, for the first nine months of 2021, the Company opened stores representing 347 thousand square feet and $5.5 million of annual base rent.

Premier Mixed-Use: During the third quarter of 2021, the Company completed the first phase of its infrastructure work at its Park Heritage project in Dallas, Texas, and expects to complete the second and final phase by the second quarter of 2022. This project is entitled for residential, office and retail, and the Company is in active negotiations with various tenants. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company invested $33.0 million in its premier mixed-use projects and contributed $3.2 million to its premier mixed-used projects held in unconsolidated entities.

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company announced that the first tenant in its inaugural premier redevelopment opened at The Collection at UTC in San Diego, Calif. The Company continues to believe it is on track to open its project in Aventura, Fla., (Miami MSA), in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Residential: During the third quarter of 2021, the Company closed on legacy joint venture partnerships for the residential redevelopment of two properties located in West Covina, Calif. and Riverside, Calif. The Company contributed only the residential portion of these projects, or 66% of the acreage, to the joint venture at a value of $15.9 million (in aggregate), representing $21,300 per unit, and retained an 80% interest in each entity. The Company expects to open its first residential joint venture project in the fourth quarter of 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company invested $1.2 million in its consolidated residential properties and an additional $12.3 million into its residential unconsolidated joint ventures.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company signed new leases at its retail properties totaling 96 thousand square feet at an average base rent of $13.11 PSF. Additionally, the Company generated a leasing pipeline of over 200 thousand square feet comprised of big box value retailers and other national tenants.

Premier Mixed-Use: The Company has three premier mixed-use projects in the active leasing stage. In addition, for the office components of its mixed-use projects, the Company plans to sign leases prior to construction. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has 59 thousand leased square feet (47 thousand at share), 166 thousand square feet signed but not opened (157 thousand at share), and 389 thousand square feet available for lease (246 thousand at share).

The table below provides a reconciliation of SNO leases from June 30, 2021 to September 30, 2021, including unconsolidated entities at the Company’s proportional share:

(in thousands except number of leases and per square foot metrics) (in thousands except number of leases and PSF data)		Number of												Annual
		SNO Leases				GLA				ABR				Rent PSF
As of June 30, 2021			83				1,349			$	32,339			$	23.97
Opened			(14	)			(208	)			(3,793	)			18.26

As of September 30, 2021			71				1,226			$	28,527			$	23.27
(1) One signed lease is at a property the Company expects to sell.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the majority of the $1.0 million of SNO leases that were sold, contributed to unconsolidated entities or terminated were comprised of leases opportunistically terminated, or expected to be terminated, at the Company’s option to either mitigate tenant exposure risk or retain the space to execute on what we believe is a more accretive plan.

Supplemental Report

A Supplemental Report will be available in the Investors section of the Company’s website, www.seritage.com.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic has caused and continues to cause significant impacts on the real estate industry in the United States, including the Company’s properties.

As a result of the development, fluidity and uncertainty surrounding this situation, the Company expects that these conditions may change, potentially significantly, in future periods and results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 may not be indicative of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business for future periods. As such, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impact of COVID-19 on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows over the foreseeable future.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company makes reference to NOI, Total NOI, FFO and Company FFO which are financial measures that include adjustments to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).

None of NOI, Total NOI, FFO or Company FFO, are measures that (i) represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP; (ii) are indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs, including the ability to make distributions; (iii) are alternatives to cash flow as a measure of liquidity; or (iv) should be considered alternatives to net income (which is determined in accordance with GAAP) for purposes of evaluating the Company’s operating performance. Reconciliations of these measures to the respective GAAP measures the Company deems most comparable have been provided in the tables accompanying this press release.

Net Operating Income ("NOI”) and Total NOI

NOI is defined as income from property operations less property operating expenses. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly the Company’s depiction of NOI may not be comparable to other REITs. The Company believes NOI provides useful information regarding Seritage, its financial condition, and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level.

The Company also uses Total NOI, which includes its proportional share of unconsolidated properties. This form of presentation offers insights into the financial performance and condition of the Company as a whole given the Company’s ownership of unconsolidated properties that are accounted for under GAAP using the equity method.

The Company also considers NOI and Total NOI to be a helpful supplemental measure of its operating performance because it excludes from NOI variable items such as termination fee income, as well as non-cash items such as straight-line rent and amortization of lease intangibles.

Funds from Operations ("FFO") and Company FFO

FFO is calculated in accordance with NAREIT which defines FFO as net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from property sales, real estate related depreciation and amortization, and impairment charges on depreciable real estate assets. The Company considers FFO a helpful supplemental measure of the operating performance for equity REITs and a complement to GAAP measures because it is a recognized measure of performance by the real estate industry.

The Company makes certain adjustments to FFO, which it refers to as Company FFO, to account for certain non-cash and noncomparable items, such as termination fee income, severance and restructuring costs, unrealized loss on interest rate cap, litigation charges, acquisition-related expenses, amortization of deferred financing costs and certain up-front-hiring costs, that it does not believe are representative of ongoing operating results.

Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” or “potential” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases that are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and that do not relate solely to historical matters. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and contingencies, many of which are beyond the company’s control, which may cause actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: declines in retail, real estate and general economic conditions; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the business of the Company’s tenants and business, income, cash flow, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, ability to service the Company’s debt obligations and ability to pay dividends and other distributions to shareholders, the Company’s historical exposure to Sears Holdings and the effects of its previously announced bankruptcy filing; the litigation filed against us and other defendants in the Sears Holdings adversarial proceeding pending in bankruptcy court; risks relating to redevelopment activities; contingencies to the commencement of rent under leases; the terms of the Company’s indebtedness; restrictions with which the Company is required to comply in order to maintain REIT status and other legal requirements to which the Company is subject; failure to achieve expected occupancy and/or rent levels within the projected time frame or at all; the impact of ongoing negative operating cash flow on the Company’s ability to fund operations and ongoing development; the Company’s ability to access or obtain sufficient sources of financing to fund the Company’s liquidity needs; the Company’s relatively limited history as an operating company; and environmental, health, safety and land use laws and regulations. For additional discussion of these and other applicable risks, assumptions and uncertainties, see the “Risk Factors” and forward-looking statement disclosure contained in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. While the Company believes that its forecasts and assumptions are reasonable, the Company cautions that actual results may differ materially. The Company intends the forward-looking statements to speak only as of the time made and do not undertake to update or revise them as more information becomes available, except as required by law.
