ExchangeRight<\/em><\/p>\n ExchangeRight<\/a>, one of the nation\u2019s leading providers of diversified real estate DST and REIT investments, has announced that the Net Asset Value (\u201cNAV\u201d) of the Essential Income REIT has increased again to $27.26 per share, based on an independent real estate valuation of the REIT\u2019s real estate by KPMG combined with its other assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2024.<\/p>\n As of June 30, 2024, the Essential Income REIT\u2019s portfolio includes 353 properties net leased to 36 primarily investment-grade tenants successfully operating in the necessity-based retail and healthcare industries and diversified across 34 states, providing added value for investors through ExchangeRight\u2019s aggregation strategy.<\/p>\n The Essential Income REIT\u2019s monthly distributions to investors have remained stable and consistent since its 2019 launch and throughout unprecedented economic volatility. The REIT\u2019s Adjusted Funds From Operations continue to fully cover its current annualized net distribution of 6.38% for Class I shares and 6.00% for Class A shares. The REIT\u2019s AFFO-to-distribution coverage is 105.95% since inception through March 31, 2024, its most recently reported period. This healthy distribution coverage helps to ensure that investors are paid exclusively from its operations and not from financing, forced sales, or investors\u2019 capital. The past performance of the REIT is no guarantee of future results.<\/p>\n Joshua Ungerecht, a managing partner at ExchangeRight, shared that this additional NAV increase is a result of the REIT\u2019s investor-centric design, which is structured to provide stable cash flow and preservation of capital, even through times of economic and market volatility, making the REIT\u2019s strong performance stand out in the market.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are excited to achieve this consecutive increase in the REIT\u2019s Net Asset Value on behalf of the Essential Income REIT\u2019s investors, especially in an economic environment that has been so incredibly volatile,\u201d said Ungerecht. \u201cThis favorable valuation is further evidence of the strength and economic resilience of our REIT, which we credit largely to the enhanced diversification and risk mitigation created by aggregating together high-quality assets with historically recession-resilient tenants that successfully operate in necessity-based industries.\u201d The past performance of the REIT is not a guarantee of future results.<\/p>\n \nAbout ExchangeRight\u2019s Essential Income REIT<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The Essential Income REIT, a Maryland statutory trust, is a self-administered real estate company, formed on January 11, 2019.

Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) as defined by NAREIT measures a real estate company\u2019s recurring\/normalized FFO after deducting recurring capital improvement funding that is typically capitalized by REITs and the adjustment to GAAP revenue related to \u201cstraight-line\u201d rents.
