“We are excited with the continuing strong performance of the company as evidenced by higher rental revenue and net operating income, when compared to the second quarter of 2021 resulting from our carefully assembled portfolio of healthcare properties. These increases resulted from both the durability of the rental revenue from our same store properties and property acquisitions completed while adhering to our underwriting and capital allocation strategy", stated Michael Seton, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We have also taken key steps to further strengthen our balance sheet by closing a new term loan agreement during the quarter, which resulted in the extension of our debt maturities to 2028 and the significant reduction of our debt cost of capital. We remain focused on maximizing stockholder value and achieving liquidity, which may include a public listing of the Company, in the timeframe set forth in the original offering materials.”

* An explanation of FFO, AFFO, and NOI, as well as reconciliations of such non-United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") financial measures, which should not be considered alternatives to GAAP measures, to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures, are included at the end of this release.

Financial Results

Quarter Ended June 30, 2022, Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 2021

• Net income attributable to common stockholders was $12.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of 25%, compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $16.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

• FFO attributable to common stockholders was $29.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of 33%, compared to $44.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

• AFFO attributable to common stockholders was $29.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of 29%, compared to $41.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

The decrease in net income attributable to common stockholders, FFO and AFFO during the periods presented above is primarily due to the Company owning a substantially smaller portfolio of properties subsequent to selling the Data Center portfolio on July 22, 2021, which was partially offset by an increase in rental revenue due to the acquisition of nine operating properties and the placement of one development property in service since April 1, 2021.

Operating Results

Quarter Ended June 30, 2022, Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 2021

• NOI attributable to our operating healthcare properties was $41.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, an increase of 3%, compared to $40.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

• Rental revenue attributable to our operating healthcare properties was $44.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, an increase of 3%, compared to $43.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

• Same store NOI attributable to our operating healthcare properties was $39.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of (0.3)%, compared to $39.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

The increase in NOI and rental revenue attributable to operating healthcare properties during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2021, is primarily attributable to the acquisition of nine operating properties and the placement of one development property in service since April 1, 2021. The increase in NOI and decrease in FFO and AFFO during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2021, is due to the sale of the Data Center portfolio on July 22, 2021. The Data Center portfolio operations are presented in discontinued operations and therefore not included in NOI in 2021, however the Data Center operations are included in 2021 FFO and AFFO.

Portfolio Overview

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company acquired four healthcare properties, located in the Pittsburgh, PA and Prosser, WA markets, for an aggregate purchase price of $22.9 million. The properties are composed of 54,342 rentable square feet and are fully leased to five tenants.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company owned 130 operating real estate properties and two undeveloped land parcels, located in 57 markets, composed of approximately 5.4 million rentable square feet with a total real estate investment of approximately $2.2 billion. The Company's properties had a weighted average occupancy of 99.4% and weighted-average remaining lease term of 9.4 years.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had liquidity of approximately $593.1 million, consisting of $23.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and $570.0 million in borrowing base availability under its credit facility.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had total principal debt outstanding of $505.0 million under the Company's credit facility, with a net debt leverage ratio, which is the ratio of principal debt outstanding less cash to fair value of real estate plus the total aggregate cost of properties acquired after the net asset value date of May 31, 2021, of 20.7%. The Company’s outstanding debt was composed of 96.0% fixed rate debt through the use of interest rate swaps and 4.0% variable rate debt.

On April 8, 2022, the Company entered into five interest rate swap agreements, two of which have an effective date of May 2, 2022 and a notional amount of $85.0 million, and three of which have an aggregate notional amount of $150.0 million and an effective date of May 1, 2023, to replace two interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $150.0 million that have a maturity date of April 27, 2023. In May 2022, the Company entered into bilateral agreements with its swap counterparties to transition all of its interest rate swap agreements to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR. As of June 30, 2022, all of the Company's interest rate swap agreements were indexed to SOFR.

On May 17, 2022, the Company, Sila Realty Operating Partnership, LP, or the Operating Partnership, and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, entered into a new senior unsecured term loan agreement, or the 2028 Term Loan Agreement, with Truist Bank, as Administrative Agent for the lenders, for aggregate commitments of up to $275.0 million, of which $205.0 million was drawn at closing to pay down the Company’s revolving credit agreement in its entirety. The remainder of the commitments were available for three months following the closing date, or the Availability Period, and were available in no more than three subsequent draws with a minimum of $20.0 million per draw, or the remaining commitments available. After the Availability Period, the undrawn portion was no longer available. If the committed amount was not fully drawn within 60 days of closing, the Company was required to pay a fee to the lenders, calculated as 0.25% per annum on the average daily amount of the undrawn portion, payable quarterly in arrears, until the earlier of (i) the date when the commitments have been funded in full, or (ii) August 17, 2022. The 2028 Term Loan Agreement may be increased, subject to lender approval, to an aggregate amount not to exceed $500.0 million and has a maturity date of January 31, 2028.

On July 12, 2022 and July 20, 2022, the Company drew $50.0 million and $20.0 million, respectively, on the 2028 Term Loan Agreement, to fund the Tampa, FL and Escondido, CA acquisitions. As of July 20, 2022, the 2028 Term Loan Agreement commitments were fully funded.

Use of Non-GAAP Information

Net operating income, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as rental revenue, less rental expenses, which excludes general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, impairment loss on real estate, impairment loss on goodwill, interest and other expense, net, and income from discontinued operations. The Company believes that net operating income serves as a useful supplement to net income because it allows investors and management to measure unlevered property-level operating results and to compare operating results to the operating results of other real estate companies between periods on a consistent basis. Net operating income should not be considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of financial performance, and accordingly, the Company believes that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the consolidated historical operating results, net operating income should be examined in conjunction with net income as presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements and data included on the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 9, 2022.

The following are reconciliations of net income attributable to common stockholders, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to net operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 (amounts in thousands):

The Company generates its net operating income from property operations. In order to evaluate the overall portfolio, management analyzes the net operating income of same store properties. The Company defines "same store properties" as operating properties that were owned and operated for the entirety of both calendar periods being compared and excludes properties under development and properties or land classified as held for sale. By evaluating the net operating income of the same store properties, management is able to monitor the operations of the Company's existing properties for comparable periods to measure the performance of the current portfolio and determine the effects of new acquisitions and dispositions on net income.

The following table represents the breakdown of the three months ended June 30, 2022, total rental revenue and rental expenses and compares with amounts for the 2021 corresponding periods (amounts in thousands).

Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and Adjusted Funds From Operations ("AFFO") are non-GAAP financial measures. FFO is calculated using the NAREIT definition: net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and asset impairment write-downs, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. It should be noted, however, that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than the Company does, making comparisons less meaningful. In addition to FFO, the Company uses AFFO as a supplemental financial performance measure because the Company believes it provides to stakeholders a more complete understanding of its sustainable performance. AFFO is a metric used by management to evaluate the Company's dividend policy. The Company calculates AFFO by further adjusting FFO for the following items included in the determination of GAAP net income: amortization of above- and below-market leases, along with amortization of operating leases and the finance lease, resulting from above-and below-market leases, straight-line rent adjustments, discount amortization related to the deferred liability in connection with the internalization transaction, impairment loss on goodwill, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, amortization of deferred financing costs and stock-based compensation. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating AFFO and, accordingly, the Company’s AFFO may not be comparable to other REITs.

FFO and AFFO should not be considered to be more relevant or accurate than the GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating our operational performance. The method used to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be considered as a more relevant measure of operating performance and more prominent than the non-GAAP FFO and AFFO measures and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO and AFFO.

The following is a reconciliation of net income attributable to common stockholders, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to FFO and AFFO for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 (amounts in thousands, except share data and per share amounts):
