Management Commentary

"We achieved tremendous accomplishments in 2024, a landmark year for Sila Realty Trust. We believe we were successful in delivering on both of our external and internal growth objectives while executing the Company’s milestone listing on the New York Stock Exchange," stated Michael A. Seton, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "I am extremely proud of the hard work and dedication of our leadership team and all of my colleagues during the year.

"As of year end, our portfolio exhibited high occupancy with an impressive weighted average remaining lease term of 9.7 years, due to, among other key leasing achievements, the amendment of all 15 leases with our largest tenant, Post Acute Medical, extending the remaining lease term of each individual lease to new 20-year terms. The extensions with Post Acute Medical are a testament, we believe, to our strong relationship with the company and their belief in, and long-term commitment to, the successful operations at our properties – a hallmark of Sila’s tenant relationships and property portfolio.

"As it pertains to acquisitions, we realized a meaningful increase to our portfolio of high quality healthcare facilities with the addition of eight properties for approximately $164.1 million. Additionally, during the fourth quarter, we closed on two mezzanine loans totaling $17.5 million for the development of an inpatient rehabilitation facility and behavioral healthcare facility. These loans are expected to provide the company with strong risk adjusted returns during the development period while creating future pipeline opportunities with purchase options for Sila for each facility upon completion of construction.

"We will strive and are committed to continue this momentum into 2025 with the support of our new revolving line of credit providing $600 million of undrawn availability for future growth. Looking ahead, I am encouraged by the growth opportunities we see in front of us. Our unique and enviable balance sheet position, coupled with our pipeline and exceptional team members, should allow for Sila's continued success into the new year and beyond."

Financial Results

Net Income (Loss)

Our GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $11.1 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to a $9.0 million net loss, or $(0.16) per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2023. Our GAAP net income for the year ended 2024 was $42.7 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, compared to $24.0 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, for the year ended 2023.

Cash NOI

Cash NOI was $41.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, as compared to $42.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease in Cash NOI is the result of Cash NOI lost from dispositions exceeding Cash NOI gained from acquisitions, which is primarily related to the timing of redeployment of proceeds from dispositions, the amended master lease with GenesisCare, the vacancy as a result of the Steward Healthcare bankruptcy, and a decrease related to certain amended leases with lower rental rates in exchange for longer lease terms. This was partially offset by fourth quarter 2024 Cash NOI increases at our other same store properties compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily as a result of rent increases.

Cash NOI was $168.6 million for the year ended 2024, as compared to $175.0 million for the year ended 2023. The decrease in Cash NOI is the result of Cash NOI lost from dispositions exceeding Cash NOI gained from acquisitions, which is primarily related to the timing of redeployment of proceeds from dispositions, the amended master lease with GenesisCare, the vacancy as a result of the Steward Healthcare bankruptcy, a decrease in lease termination fee income received, and a decrease related to certain amended leases with lower rental rates in exchange for longer lease terms. This was partially offset by the receipt of a one-time payment from GenesisCare as consideration for the removal of certain properties from the master lease and a same store Cash NOI* increase during the year ended 2024, as compared to the year ended 2023, primarily as a result of rent increases.

AFFO

AFFO was $30.2 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, during the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $32.7 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, during the fourth quarter of 2023.

AFFO for the year ended 2024 was $131.1 million, or $2.31 per diluted share, compared to $132.7 million, or $2.32 per diluted share, for the year ended 2023.

The Mezzanine Loans have total loan amounts of $12.5 million and $5.0 million, respectively, and a maturity date of November 5, 2029. The Mezzanine Loans include purchase options for the Company for both the inpatient rehabilitation facility and the behavioral healthcare facility upon completion of construction.

Portfolio

As of December 31, 2024, Sila's well diversified real estate portfolio consisted of 135 properties comprising approximately 5.3 million rentable square feet.

Supplemental Information

The Company routinely provides information for investors and the marketplace through press releases, SEC filings, public conference calls, and the Company's website at investors.silarealtytrust.com. The information that the Company posts to its website may be deemed material. Accordingly, the Company encourages investors and others interested in the Company to routinely monitor and review the information that the Company posts on its website, in addition to following the Company's press releases, public conference calls and SEC filings. A glossary of definitions (including those of certain non-GAAP financial measures) and other supplemental information may be found attached as Exhibit 99.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 25, 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes certain financial performance measures not defined by United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in this press release. We believe such measures provide investors with additional information concerning our operating performance and a basis to compare our performance with the performance of other REITs. Our definitions and calculations of these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures reported by other REITs.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income attributable to common stockholders (determined in accordance with GAAP) as indicators of our financial performance, as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), or as measures of our liquidity, nor are these measures necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flows to fund all of our needs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation

A description of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO, and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and a description of same store cash NOI and reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to rental revenue, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, are provided below.

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to FFO, Core FFO and AFFO (amounts in thousands)

Funds From Operations (FFO)

FFO is calculated consistent with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT's, definition, as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains from sales of real estate assets, impairment of real estate assets and disposition losses from sales of real estate assets, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. We do not have any investments in unconsolidated partnerships or joint ventures. We believe FFO provides a useful understanding of our performance to investors and to our management, and when compared to year over year, FFO reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy. 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.

Core FFO

The Company believes Core FFO is a supplemental financial performance measure that provides investors with additional information to understand the Company's sustainable performance. The Company calculates Core FFO by adjusting FFO to remove the effect of certain GAAP non-cash income and expense items, unusual and infrequent items that are not expected to impact its operating performance on an ongoing basis, items that affect comparability to prior periods and/or items that are not related to its core real estate operations. Excluded items include listing-related expenses, severance, write-off of straight-line rent receivables related to prior periods, accelerated stock-based compensation, amortization of above- and below-market lease intangibles (including ground leases) and loss on extinguishment of debt. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Core FFO and, accordingly, the Company’s Core FFO may not be comparable to other REITs.

AFFO

The Company believes AFFO is a supplemental financial performance measure that provides investors appropriate supplemental information to evaluate the ongoing operations of the Company. AFFO is a metric used by management to evaluate the Company's dividend policy. The Company calculates AFFO by further adjusting Core FFO for the following items: deferred rent, current period straight-line rent adjustments, 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, Core 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 the Company's operational performance. The method used to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be considered a more relevant measure of operating performance and more prominent than the non-GAAP FFO, Core FFO and AFFO measures and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO, Core FFO and AFFO.

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Same Store Cash Net Operating Income (Same Store Cash NOI) (amounts in thousands)

NOI

The Company defines net operating income, or NOI, a non-GAAP financial measure, as rental revenue, less rental expenses, on an accrual basis.

Same Store Properties

In order to evaluate the overall portfolio, management analyzes the NOI of same store properties. The Company defines "same store properties" as properties that were owned and operated for the entirety of both calendar periods being compared and excludes properties under development, re-development, or classified as held for sale. By evaluating 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 readily observe the expected effects of new acquisitions and dispositions on net income. There were 125 same store properties for the quarters ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Cash NOI

The Company defines Cash NOI as NOI for its properties excluding the impact of GAAP adjustments to rental revenue and rental expenses, consisting of straight-line rent adjustments, net of write-offs, amortization of above- and below-market lease intangibles (including ground leases) and internal property management fees, then including deferred rent received in cash. Cash NOI is used to evaluate the cash-based performance of the Company’s real estate portfolio. Same store Cash NOI is calculated to exclude non-same store Cash NOI. The Company believes that NOI and Cash NOI both serve as useful supplements to net income because they allow investors and management to measure unlevered property-level operating results and to compare these results to the comparable results of other real estate companies on a consistent basis. Other real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating Cash NOI and, accordingly, the Company’s Cash NOI may not be comparable to other real estate companies. The Company uses both NOI and Cash NOI to make decisions about resource allocations and to assess the property-level performance of the real estate portfolio.
