Management Commentary
"Our strong results for the fourth quarter capped off a remarkable year for Phillips Edison - both at the corporate level and the property level," stated Jeff Edison, chairman and chief executive officer of PECO. "During 2021, we completed our $547 million underwritten IPO, our $350 million debut investment grade debt offering, and a new $980 million unsecured credit facility. This activity combined with the strong and growing cash flow generated by our centers positions us to pursue attractive external growth by expanding our portfolio of grocery-anchored shopping centers through acquisitions."
"At the property level, quarterly foot traffic surpassed both 2019 and 2020 levels, occupancy reached an all time high, and the operating environment remains healthy. We continue to see sustained demand for retail space at our grocery-anchored shopping centers. This demand allows us to drive strong internal growth through attractive new and renewal leasing spreads and executing new leases with contractual annual rent bumps.
"We believe our robust external and internal growth will drive strong long-term growth as we look toward the remainder of 2022 and beyond."

Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2021
Net (Loss) Income

For the year ended December 31, 2021, net income attributable to stockholders totaled $15.1 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to $4.8 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Nareit FFO
Fourth quarter 2021 funds from operations attributable to stockholders and operating partnership unit ("OP unit") holders as defined by Nareit ("Nareit FFO") increased 7.3% to $49.4 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, from $46.0 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, during the fourth quarter of 2020.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, Nareit FFO decreased 4.7% to $211.2 million, or $1.81 per diluted share, from $221.7 million, or $1.99 per diluted share, during the year ended December 31, 2020.
The results were driven by an increase in rental income and an improvement in collections, offset by an increase in the earn-out liability, which resulted in $7.4 million and $30.4 million of non-cash expense for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The earn-out liability was settled in its entirety with the issuance of approximately 1.6 million OP units on January 11, 2022. The per diluted share metrics were impacted by an increase in shares outstanding due to the earn-out shares and PECO's July 2021 IPO.

Core FFO
Fourth quarter 2021 core funds from operations ("Core FFO") increased 24.5% to $60.8 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, compared to $48.8 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, during the fourth quarter of 2020.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, Core FFO increased 15.7% to $255.0 million, or $2.19 per diluted share, compared to $220.4 million, or $1.98 per diluted share, during the year ended December 31, 2020.
The results were driven by an increase in rental income, an improvement in collections, and lower interest costs. Core FFO excludes one-time non-cash items like the aforementioned earn-out liability adjustment.

Same-Center NOI
Fourth quarter 2021 same-center net operating income ("NOI") increased 15.2% to $88.8 million compared to $77.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2020.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, same-center NOI improved 8.2% to $346.8 million compared to $320.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2020.
Results were driven by a strong leasing environment which led to an increase in average base rent per square foot, as well as stronger collections compared to 2020.

Discussion and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
Same-Center Net Operating Income
The Company presents Same-Center NOI as a supplemental measure of its performance. The Company defines NOI as total operating revenues, adjusted to exclude non-cash revenue items, less property operating expenses and real estate taxes. For the three months and years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, Same-Center NOI represents the NOI for the 256 properties that were wholly-owned and operational for the entire portion of both comparable reporting periods. The Company believes Same-Center NOI provides useful information to its investors about its financial and operating performance because it provides a performance measure of the revenues and expenses directly involved in owning and operating real estate assets and provides a perspective not immediately apparent from net income (loss). Because Same-Center NOI excludes the change in NOI from properties acquired or disposed of after December 31, 2019, it highlights operating trends such as occupancy levels, rental rates, and operating costs on properties that were operational for both comparable periods. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Same-Center NOI, and accordingly, PECO's Same-Center NOI may not be comparable to other REITs.
Same-Center NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of the Company's financial performance as it does not reflect the operations of its entire portfolio, nor does it reflect the impact of general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, other income (expense), or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of the Company's properties that could materially impact its results from operations.
Nareit Funds from Operations and Core Funds from Operations
Nareit FFO is a non-GAAP financial performance measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit") defines FFO as net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding: (i) gains (or losses) from sales of property and gains (or losses) from change in control; (ii) depreciation and amortization related to real estate; and (iii) impairment losses on real estate and impairments of in-substance real estate investments in investees that are driven by measurable decreases in the fair value of the depreciable real estate held by the unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect Nareit FFO on the same basis. The Company calculates Nareit FFO Attributable to Stockholders and OP Unit Holders in a manner consistent with the Nareit definition.
Core FFO is an additional financial performance measure used by the Company as Nareit FFO includes certain non-comparable items that affect its performance over time. The Company believes that Core FFO is helpful in assisting management and investors with the assessment of the sustainability of operating performance in future periods, and that it is more reflective of its core operating performance and provides an additional measure to compare PECO's performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that may cause short-term fluctuations in net income (loss). To arrive at Core FFO, the Company adjusts Nareit FFO Attributable to Stockholders and OP Unit Holders to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring items including, but not limited to: (i) depreciation and amortization of corporate assets; (ii) changes in the fair value of the earn-out liability; (iii) amortization of unconsolidated joint venture basis differences; (iv) gains or losses on the extinguishment or modification of debt and other; (v) other impairment charges; (vi) transaction and acquisition expenses; and (vii) realized performance income.
Nareit FFO, Nareit FFO Attributable to Stockholders and OP Unit Holders, and Core FFO should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) under GAAP, as an indication of the Company's liquidity, nor as an indication of funds available to cover its cash needs, including its ability to fund distributions. Core FFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if the Company does not continue to operate its business plan in the manner currently contemplated.
Accordingly, Nareit FFO, Nareit FFO Attributable to Stockholders and OP Unit Holders, and Core FFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements, and should not be viewed as more prominent measures of performance than net income (loss) or cash flows from operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company's Nareit FFO, Nareit FFO Attributable to Stockholders and OP Unit Holders, and Core FFO, as presented, may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other REITs.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization for Real Estate and Adjusted EBITDAre
Nareit defines EBITDAre as net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP before (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) gains or losses from disposition of depreciable property, and (v) impairment write-downs of depreciable property. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect EBITDAre on the same basis.
Adjusted EBITDAre is an additional performance measure used by the Company as EBITDAre includes certain non-comparable items that affect the Company's performance over time. To arrive at Adjusted EBITDAre, the Company excludes certain recurring and non-recurring items from EBITDAre, including, but not limited to: (i)
7

changes in the fair value of the earn-out liability; (ii) other impairment charges; (iii) amortization of basis differences in the Company's investments in its unconsolidated joint ventures; (iv) transaction and acquisition expenses; and (v) realized performance income.
The Company has included the calculation of EBITDAre to better align with publicly traded REITs. The Company uses EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre as additional measures of operating performance which allow it to compare earnings independent of capital structure, determine debt service and fixed cost coverage, and measure enterprise value. Additionally, the Company believes they are a useful indicator of its ability to support its debt obligations. EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), as an indication of the Company's liquidity, nor as an indication of funds available to cover its cash needs, including its ability to fund distributions. Accordingly, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements, and should not be viewed as more prominent measures of performance than net income (loss) or cash flows from operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company's EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, as presented, may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other REITs.
