Creative Media & Community Trust Corporation Reports 2023 Second Quarter Results

Dallas—(August 10, 2023) Creative Media & Community Trust Corporation (NASDAQ and TASE: CMCT) (“we”, “our”, “CMCT”, or the “Company”), today reported operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Real Estate Portfolio

•Same-store office portfolio(2) was 84.1% leased.

•Executed 29,212 square feet of leases with terms longer than 12 months.

Financial Results

•Net loss attributable to common stockholders of $23.8 million, or $1.05 per diluted share.

•Funds from operations (“FFO”) attributable to common stockholders(3) was $(4.2) million, or $(0.19) per diluted share.

Management Commentary

“We intend to continue growing our portfolio of newer vintage, highly amenitized multifamily assets in high barrier-to-entry markets,” said David Thompson, Chief Executive Officer of Creative Media & Community Trust Corporation.

“After acquiring three multifamily properties totaling 696 units in the first quarter, we made strides improving occupancy at the two assets that are still in their initial lease-up phase following completion of construction. We believe the continued lease-up of these two assets will lead to improving funds from operations. Our office occupancy also improved quarter over quarter and we continue to see very strong performance from our one hotel asset.”

“We made significant progress in our value-add and development pipeline in the second quarter,” said Shaul Kuba, Chief Investment Officer of Creative Media & Community Trust Corporation.

“At our Austin and East Austin properties, we just received entitlements to develop multifamily units at both of these sites. We are now proceeding towards design and permitting.”

Second Quarter 2023 Results

Real Estate Portfolio

As of June 30, 2023, our real estate portfolio consisted of 25 assets, all of which were fee-simple properties, including two office properties (one of which is being partially converted into multifamily units) and one multifamily property which the Company has an ownership interest in through investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. The portfolio included 13 office properties totaling approximately 1.3 million of rentable square feet, three multifamily properties with a total of 696 units, seven development sites (two being used as parking lots), and one 503-room hotel with an ancillary parking garage.

Financial Results

Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $23.8 million, or $1.05 per diluted share of common stock, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $2.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share of common stock, for the same period in 2022. The increase in net loss attributable to common stockholders was driven by the $6.8 million decrease in FFO discussed below as well as an increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $15.5 million.

FFO attributable to common stockholders(3) was $(4.2) million, or $(0.19) per diluted share of common stock, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $6.8 million compared to $2.6 million, or $0.11 per diluted share of common stock, for the same period in 2022. The decrease in FFO was primarily attributable to an increase in non-lending segment interest expense of $5.1 million, an increase in redeemable preferred stock dividends and redeemable preferred stock redemptions of $980,000 and $209,000, respectively, and a decrease of $838,000 in segment net operating income (discussed in more detail below).

Core FFO attributable to common stockholders(4) was $(3.9) million, or $(0.17) per diluted share of common stock, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $2.7 million, or $0.11 per diluted share of common stock, for the same period in 2022. The decrease in Core FFO is attributable to the aforementioned changes in FFO, while not impacted by the increase in redeemable preferred stock redemptions as these are excluded from our Core FFO calculation.

Segment Information

Our reportable segments during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 consisted of three types of commercial real estate properties, namely, office, hotel and multifamily, as well as a segment for our lending business. Total segment net operating income (“NOI”)(5) was $12.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $12.8 million for the same period in 2022.

Office

Same-Store

Same-store(2) office segment NOI(5) decreased to $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $7.8 million in the same period in 2022, while same-store(1) office Cash NOI(6) increased to $7.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $7.5 million in the same period in 2022. The increase in same-store(1) office Cash NOI(6) was primarily due to an increase in rental revenue at an office property in Beverly Hills, California, due to increased occupancy and rental rates, partially offset by a decrease in the Company’s share of income from an unconsolidated joint venture which owns an office property in Los Angeles, California, primarily due to an increase in mortgage interest expense. The decrease in same-store(2) office segment NOI(5) was driven by several office properties where increases in cash rental rates at existing leases were negated by the impact of deferred rent adjustments, primarily at an office property in Oakland, California, an office property in Austin, Texas, and an office property in Los Angeles, California.

At June 30, 2023, the Company’s same-store(2) office portfolio was 82.6% occupied, a decrease of 160 basis points year-over-year on a same-store(2) basis, and 84.1% leased, a decrease of 90 basis points year-over-year on a same-store(2) basis. The annualized rent per occupied square foot(7) on a same-store(2) basis was $56.80 at June 30, 2023 compared to $54.19 at June 30, 2022. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company executed 29,212 square feet of leases with terms longer than 12 months at our same-store(2) office portfolio.

Total

Office Segment NOI(5) decreased to $6.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, from $7.9 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease is primarily due to the decrease in same-store(2) office segment NOI(5) discussed above as well as a decrease in non-same-store(2) office Segment NOI(5) of $701,000 which was driven by a loss from an unconsolidated office entity due to an increase in mortgage interest expense and an unrealized loss related to the entity’s investment in real estate during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Hotel

Hotel Segment NOI(5) increased to $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, from $3.2 million for the same period in 2022, due to an increase in occupancy and average daily rate.


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2023			2022
Occupancy	81.3		%	77.5		%
Average daily rate(a)	$	201.17		$	175.67
Revenue per available room(b)	$	163.50		$	136.09

______________________

(a)Calculated as trailing 3-month room revenue divided by the number of rooms occupied.

(b)Calculated as trailing 3-month room revenue divided by the number of available rooms.

Multifamily

Our Multifamily Segment consists of two multifamily buildings located in Oakland, California as well as an investment in a multifamily building in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, California through a 50% joint-venture partnership, all of which

were acquired during the first quarter of 2023. Our Multifamily Segment NOI(5) was $522,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, our Multifamily Segment was 83.9% occupied and the monthly rent per occupied unit(8) was $2,914.

Lending

Our lending segment primarily consists of our SBA 7(a) lending platform, which is a national lender that primarily originates loans to small businesses in the hospitality industry. Lending Segment NOI(5) was $524,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in interest expense related to the issuance of new SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes in connection with the securitization that closed in March 2023 as well as an increase in allocated payroll expense.

Debt and Equity

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we issued 1,195,589 shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock for aggregate net proceeds of $27.4 million. Net proceeds represent gross proceeds offset by costs specifically identifiable to the offering, such as commissions, dealer manager fees and other offering fees and expenses. Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2023, we had net incremental paydowns of $30.0 million on our revolving credit facility.

Dividends

On June 27, 2023, we declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.0850 per share of our common stock, which was paid on July 24, 2023.

On July 12, 2023, we declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.34375 per share of our Series A Preferred Stock for the third quarter of 2023. The dividend will be payable monthly as follows: $0.114583 per share to be paid on August 15, 2023 to Series A Preferred Stockholders of record on August 5, 2023; $0.114583 per share to be paid on September 15, 2023 to Series A Preferred Stockholders of record on September 5, 2023; and $0.114583 per share to be paid on October 16, 2023 to Series A Preferred Stockholders of record on October 5, 2023.

On July 12, 2023, we declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.473750 per share of our Series A1 Preferred Stock for the third quarter of 2023. The quarterly cash dividend of $0.473750 per share represents an annualized dividend rate of 7.58% (2.5% plus the federal funds rate of 5.08% on the applicable determination date). The dividend will be payable monthly as follows: $0.157916 per share to be paid on August 15, 2023 to Series A1 Preferred Stockholders of record on August 5, 2023; $0.157916 per share to be paid on September 15, 2023 to Series A1 Preferred Stockholders of record on September 5, 2023; and $0.157916 per share to be paid on October 16, 2023 to Series A1 Preferred Stockholders of record on October 5, 2023. For shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock issued in the third quarter of 2023, the dividend will be prorated from the date of issuance, and the monthly dividend payments will reflect such proration.

On July 12, 2023, we declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.353125 per share of our Series D Preferred Stock for the third quarter of 2023. The dividend will be payable monthly as follows: $0.117708 per share to be paid on August 15, 2023 to Series D Preferred Stockholders of record on August 5, 2023; $0.117708 per share to be paid on September 15, 2023 to Series D Preferred Stockholders of record on September 5, 2023; and $0.117708 per share to be paid on October 16, 2023 to Series D Preferred Stockholders of record on October 5, 2023.

_____________________

(1)Currently utilized as a surface parking lot

(2)Represents an unconsolidated joint venture investment.

(3)We sold 80% of our interest in 4750 Wilshire Boulevard (excluding a vacant land parcel which was not included in the sale) to third-party co-investors with whom we formed a joint venture. The remaining 20% interest represents our interest in the newly formed unconsolidated joint venture.

About the Data

Descriptions of certain performance measures, including Segment NOI, Cash NOI, FFO attributable to common stockholders, and Core FFO are provided below. Refer to the subsequent tables for reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

(1)Stabilized office portfolio: represents office properties where occupancy was not impacted by a redevelopment or repositioning during the period.

(2)Same-store properties: are properties that we have owned and operated in a consistent manner and reported in our consolidated results during the entire span of the periods being reported. We excluded from our same-store property set this quarter any properties (i) acquired on or after April 1, 2022; (ii) sold or otherwise removed from our consolidated financial statements on or before June 30, 2023; or (iii) that underwent a major repositioning project we believed significantly affected its results at any point during the period commencing on April 1, 2022 and ending on June 30, 2023. When determining our same-store properties as of June 30, 2023, one property was excluded pursuant to (i) and (iii) above and no properties were excluded pursuant to (ii) above.

(3)FFO attributable to common stockholders: represents net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, which reflects the deduction of redeemable preferred stock dividends accumulated, excluding gain (or loss) from sales of real estate, impairment of real estate, and real estate depreciation and amortization. We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (the “NAREIT”). See ‘Core FFO’ definition below for discussion of the benefits and limitations of FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance.

(4)Core FFO attributable to common stockholders (“Core FFO”): represents FFO attributable to common stockholders (computed as described above), excluding gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, redeemable preferred stock deemed dividends, redeemable preferred stock redemptions, gain (loss) on termination of interest rate swaps, and transaction costs.

We believe that FFO is a widely recognized and appropriate measure of the performance of a REIT and that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. In addition, we believe that Core FFO is a useful metric for securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of our Company as it excludes from FFO the effect of certain amounts that we believe are non-recurring, are non-operating in nature as they relate to the manner in which we finance our operations, or transactions outside of the ordinary course of business.

Like any metric, FFO and Core FFO should not be used as the only measure of our performance because it excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our real estate properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, and Core FFO excludes amounts incurred in connection with non-recurring special projects,

prepaying or defeasing our debt, repurchasing our preferred stock, and adjusting the carrying value of our preferred stock classified in temporary equity to its redemption value, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our operating results. Other REITs may not calculate FFO and Core FFO in the same manner as we do, or at all; accordingly, our FFO and Core FFO may not be comparable to the FFOs and Core FFOs of other REITs. Therefore, FFO and Core FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income (loss) as a measure of our performance and should not be used as a supplement to or substitute measure for cash flows from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP. FFO and Core FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends. FFO and Core FFO per share for the year-to-date period may differ from the sum of quarterly FFO and Core FFO per share amounts due to the required method for computing per share amounts for the respective periods. In addition, FFO and Core FFO per share is calculated independently for each component and may not be additive due to rounding.

(5)Segment NOI: for our real estate segments represents rental and other property income and expense reimbursements less property related expenses and excludes non-property income and expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, corporate related general and administrative expenses, gain (loss) on sale of real estate, gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, impairment of real estate, transaction costs, and benefit (provision) for income taxes. For our lending segment, Segment NOI represents interest income net of interest expense and general overhead expenses. See ‘Cash NOI’ definition below for discussion of the benefits and limitations of Segment NOI as a supplemental measure of operating performance.

(6)Cash NOI: for our real estate segments, represents Segment NOI adjusted to exclude the effect of the straight lining of rents, acquired above/below market lease amortization and other adjustments required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). For our lending segment, there is no distinction between Cash NOI and Segment NOI. We also evaluate the operating performance and financial results of our operating segments using cash basis NOI excluding lease termination income, or “Cash NOI excluding lease termination income”.

Segment NOI and Cash NOI are not measures of operating results or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to income from continuing operations, or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity, or as an indication of our performance or of our ability to pay dividends. Companies may not calculate Segment NOI or Cash NOI in the same manner. We consider Segment NOI and Cash NOI to be useful performance measures to investors and management because, when compared across periods, they reflect the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating our properties and the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from income from continuing operations. Additionally, we believe that Cash NOI is helpful to investors because it eliminates straight line rent and other non-cash adjustments to revenue and expenses.

(7)Annualized rent per occupied square foot: represents gross monthly base rent under leases commenced as of the specified periods, multiplied by twelve. This amount reflects total cash rent before abatements. Where applicable, annualized rent has been grossed up by adding annualized expense reimbursements to base rent. Annualized rent for certain office properties includes rent attributable to retail.

(8)Monthly rent per occupied unit: Represents gross monthly base rent under leases commenced as of the specified period, divided by occupied units. This amount reflects total cash rent before concessions.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. These statements include the plans and objectives of management for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to future growth of CMCT’s business and availability of funds. Such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “project,” “target,” “expect,” “intend,” “might,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “could,” “would,” “continue,” “pursue,” “potential,” “forecast,” “seek,” “plan,” or “should,” or “goal” or the negative thereof or other variations or similar words or phrases. Such forward-looking statements also include, among others, statements about CMCT’s plans and objectives relating to future growth and outlook. Such forward-looking statements are based on particular assumptions that management of CMCT has made in light of its experience, as well as its perception of expected future developments and other factors that it believes are appropriate under the circumstances. Forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the judgment of CMCT’s management and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include those associated with (i) the timing, form, and operational effects of CMCT’s development activities, (ii) the ability of CMCT to raise in place rents to existing market rents and to maintain or increase occupancy levels, (iii) fluctuations in market rents, (iv) the effects of inflation and higher interest rates on the operations and profitability of CMCT and (vii) general economic, market and other conditions. Additional important factors that could cause CMCT’s actual results to differ materially from CMCT’s expectations are discussed under the section “Risk Factors” in CMCT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and in CMCT’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2023. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations and there can be no assurance that these expectations will be attained. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond CMCT’s control. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included herein will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements expressed or implied herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by CMCT or any other person that CMCT’s objectives and plans will be achieved. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. CMCT does not undertake to update them to reflect changes that occur after the date they are made, except as may be required by applicable securities law.

See “Property Pictures” on page 37 under Important Disclosures. Important Disclosures Forward-looking Statements The information set forth herein contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. These statements include the plans and objectives of management for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to future growth of our business and availability of funds. Such forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward- looking terminology such as "may," "will," "project," "target," "expect," "intend," "might," "believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "could," "would," "continue," "pursue," "potential," "forecast," "seek," "plan," “opportunity,” "should", or "goal" or the negative thereof or other variations or similar words or phrases. Such forward-looking statements also include, among others, statements about CMCT's plans and objectives relating to future growth and outlook. Such forward-looking statements are based on particular assumptions that management of CMCT has made in light of its experience, as well as its perception of expected future developments and other factors that it believes are appropriate under the circumstances. Forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the judgment of CMCT's management and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include those associated with (i) the timing, form, and operational effects of CMCT's development activities, (ii) the ability of CMCT to raise in place rents to existing market rents and to maintain or increase occupancy levels, (iii) fluctuations in market rents, (iv) the effects of inflation and higher interest rates on the operations and profitability of CMCT and (v) general economic, market and other conditions. Additional important factors that could cause CMCT's actual results to differ materially from CMCT's expectations are discussed under the section "Risk Factors" in CMCT's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations and there can be no assurance that these expectations will be attained. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond CMCT's control. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward- looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward- looking statements included herein will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements expressed or implied herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by CMCT or any other person that CMCT's objectives and plans will be achieved. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. CMCT does not undertake to update them to reflect changes that occur after the date they are made, except as may be required by applicable securities law.

See “Property Pictures” on page 37 under Important Disclosures. Important Information - Debt and Preferred Summary 1. Excludes: (a) $5.3 million of secured borrowings – government guaranteed loans, which represent sold loans that are treated as secured borrowing because the loan sales did not meet the derecognition criteria provided for in ASC 860-30, Secured Borrowing and Collateral, and (b) premiums, discounts and debt issuance costs. 2. The Company’s variable rate mortgages payable are secured by a deed of trust on the respective properties and assignments of rents receivable. As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s variable rate mortgages payable had a variable interest rates ranging from SOFR plus 3.25% - 3.35%, with monthly payments of interest only, due on various dates from June 7, 2024 to July 7, 2025 with extension options subject to certain conditions being met. The loans are nonrecourse. 3. On March 9, 2023, the Company completed a securitization of the unguaranteed portion of certain of its SBA 7(a) loans receivable with the issuance of $54.1 million of unguaranteed SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes (with net proceeds of approximately $43.3 million, after payment of fees and expenses in connection with the securitization and the funding of a reserve account and an escrow account). The SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes are collateralized by the right to receive payments and other recoveries attributable to the unguaranteed portions of certain of our SBA 7(a) loans receivable. The SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes mature on March 20, 2048, with monthly payments due as payments on the collateralized loans are received. 4. In December 2022, the Company refinanced its 2018 credit facility and replaced it with a new 2022 credit facility, entered into with a bank syndicate, that includes a $56.2 million term loan (the “2022 Credit Facility Term Loan”) as well as a revolver allowing the Company to borrow up to $150.0 million (the “2022 Credit Facility Revolver”), both of which are collectively subject to a borrowing base calculation. The 2022 credit facility is secured by properties in the Company’s real estate portfolio: six office properties and one hotel property (as well as the hotel’s adjacent parking garage and retail property). The 2022 credit facility bears interest at (A) the base rate plus 1.50% or (B) SOFR plus 2.60%. As of June 30, 2023, the variable interest rate was 7.69%. The 2022 Credit Facility Revolver is also subject to an unused commitment fee of 0.15% or 0.25% depending on the amount of aggregate unused commitments. The 2022 credit facility is guaranteed by the Company and the Company is subject to certain financial maintenance covenants. The 2022 credit facility matures in December 2025 and provides for two one-year extension options under certain conditions, including providing notice of the election and paying an extension fee of 0.15% of each lender’s commitment being extended on the effective date of such extension. 5. Outstanding Series A1 Preferred Stock represents total shares issued as of June 30, 2023 of 8,194,099, less redemptions of 34,000 shares, multiplied by the stated value of $25.00 per share. Includes shares issued to CIM Group in lieu of cash payment of the asset management fee. Gross proceeds are not net of commissions, fees, allocated costs or discount. Dividends on Series A1 Preferred Stock are paid at a rate of the greater of (i) an annual rate of 6.0% (i.e., the equivalent of $0.3750 per share per quarter) and (ii) the Federal Funds (Effective) Rate for such quarter and plus 2.5% up to a maximum of 2.5% of the Series A1 Preferred Stock Stated Value per quarter. 6. Outstanding Series A Preferred Stock represents total shares issued as of June 30, 2023 of 8,820,338, less redemptions of 938,380 shares, multiplied by the stated value of $25.00 per share. Includes shares issued to CIM Group in lieu of cash payment of the asset management fee. Gross proceeds are not net of commissions, fees, allocated costs or discount. 7. Outstanding Series D Preferred Stock represents total shares issued as of June 30, 2023 of 56,857, less redemptions of 8,410, multiplied by the stated value of $25.00 per share. Gross proceeds are not net of commissions, fees, allocated costs or discount.

See “Property Pictures” on page 37 under Important Disclosures. Important Disclosures Capital Returned to Shareholders The amounts of regular and special cash dividends per share are based on the number of shares outstanding as of the applicable record dates. All amounts have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split that occurred in 2019. Past performance is not indicative of future results. CMCT is the product of a merger (the “Merger”) between a subsidiary of CIM Urban REIT, LLC (“CIM REIT”), a fund operated by CIM Group, and PMC Commercial Trust (“PMC”), a publicly traded mortgage real estate investment trust, consummated in Q1 2014. Represents dividends paid on our common stock from January 1, 2014 through September 30, 2020. Excludes a special dividend paid to PMC Commercial Trust’s stockholders in connection with the Merger, but includes 2014 dividends received by CIM REIT stockholders prior to the Merger and dividends on convertible preferred stock received by Urban Partners II, LLC, an affiliate of CIM REIT and CIM Group, on an as converted basis, in the Merger. The per share equivalent in proceeds from CMCT’s June 2016 tender offer is $6.45, calculated by dividing $210,000,000, the amount used by CMCT to purchase shares of common stock of CMCT in the tender offer, by 32,558,732, the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to such tender offer, as adjusted to give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split that occurred in 2019. Funds From Operations (FFO) The Company believes that funds from operations (“FFO”), a non-GAAP measure, is a widely recognized and appropriate measure of the performance of a REIT and that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO represents net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, which reflects the deduction of redeemable preferred stock dividends accumulated, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate, impairment of real estate, and real estate depreciation and amortization. The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (the “NAREIT”). Like any metric, FFO should not be used as the only measure of our performance because it excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our real estate properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our operating results. Other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the NAREIT; accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to the FFOs of other REITs. Therefore, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income (loss) as a measure of our performance and should not be used as a supplement to or substitute measure for cash flows from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund CMCT's cash needs, including CMCT's ability to pay dividends. Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) AFFO is a non-GAAP, non- standardized measure which is widely reported by REITs. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating AFFO and, as a result, CMCT's AFFO may not be comparable to the AFFO of other REITs. CMCT calculates AFFO by (a) eliminating the impact on FFO of (i) straight-line rent revenue and expense; (ii) amortization of lease inducements; (iii) amortization of above and below market leases (including ground leases); (iv) amortization of above and below market debt, loan premiums and discounts, and deferred loan costs; (v) amortization of tax abatement; (vi) amortization of loan receivable discount and accretion of fees on loans receivable; (vii) unrealized premium adjustment; (viii) deferred income tax expense; (ix) non-cash compensation expense; (x) loss on early extinguishment of debt; (xi) redeemable preferred stock redemptions; and (xii) redeemable preferred stock deemed dividends and (b) subtracting (i) lease inducement payments and (ii) recurring capital expenditures and recurring tenant improvements and leasing commissions. AFFO is not intended to represent cash flow but may provide additional perspective on CMCT's operating results and our ability to fund cash needs and pay dividends. AFFO should only be considered as a supplement to net income.
