“We are pleased with our second quarter results,

Postal Service and to support Postal Realty's future growth
throughout all economic cycles", stated Andrew Spodek, Chief
Executive Officer.
Property Portfolio &
Acquisitions
The Company’s owned portfolio was 99.7%
occupied, comprised of 1,364 properties across 49 states and one
territory with approximately 5.6 million net leasable interior
square feet and a weighted average rental rate of $9.11 per
leasable square foot based on rents in place as of June 30,
2023. The weighted average rental rate consisted of $11.33 per
leasable square foot on last-mile and flex properties, and $3.55 on
industrial properties.
During the second quarter, the Company acquired
39 last-mile and flex properties leased to the USPS for
approximately $15.8 million, excluding closing costs, comprising
approximately 93,000 net leasable interior square feet at a
weighted average rental rate of $14.18 per leasable square foot
based on rents in place as of June 30, 2023.
Balance Sheet & Capital Markets
Activity
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had
approximately $2.8 million of cash and property-related
reserves on the balance sheet, and approximately $224 million
of net debt with a weighted average interest rate of 4.10%. At the
end of the second quarter, 87.2% of the Company's total debt was
set to fixed rates (when taking into account interest rate hedges),
and $29 million was outstanding on the Company's $150 million
revolving credit facility.
On July 24, 2023, the Company amended its credit
facilities to, among other things, add a daily simple SOFR-based
option to the term SOFR-based floating interest rate option as a
benchmark rate for borrowings under the credit facilities. The
Company further exercised $25.0 million of term loan accordion
under the term loan maturing in January 2027 and, on a delayed-draw
basis, $10.0 million of term loan accordion under the term loan
maturing in February 2028. As of August 2, 2023, the $10.0 million
delayed-draw portion of the term loan was not drawn by the Company.
In connection with the accordion exercise, the Company also entered
into an interest rate swap that effectively fixed the interest rate
on the additional $25.0 million of term loan through January 2027
at a current rate of 5.736%. Following these transactions, the
Company used the proceeds from the $25.0 million term loan
accordion and cash to repay the outstanding balance on the
revolving credit facility. As of August 2, 2023, the weighted
average interest rate on the Company's debt outstanding was 3.95%
and 100% of all debt was set to fixed rates.
During the second quarter and through
August 2, 2023, the Company issued 780,222 shares of common
stock through its at-the-market equity offering program for total
gross proceeds of approximately $11.7 million at a weighted average
price per share of $15.03. Additionally, the Company entered into
forward sales transactions under its at-the-market equity offering
program for an additional 798,847 shares of common stock totaling
gross proceeds of approximately $12.0 million at a weighted average
price per share of $15.02.
Dividend
On July 26, 2023, the Company declared a
quarterly dividend of $0.2375 per share of Class A common stock.
The dividend equates to $0.95 per share on an annualized basis. The
dividend will be paid on August 31, 2023 to stockholders of record
as of the close of business on August 7, 2023.
Subsequent Events
Subsequent to quarter end and through
August 2, 2023, the Company acquired 11 properties comprising
approximately 33,000 net leasable interior square feet for
approximately $5.3 million, excluding closing costs. The Company
had another 18 properties totaling approximately $4.7 million under
definitive contracts.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial
Information
An explanation of certain non-GAAP financial
measures used in this press release, including, FFO, AFFO and net
debt, as well as reconciliations of those non-GAAP financial
measures, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure,
is included below.
The Company calculates FFO in accordance with
the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
(“NAREIT”) definition. NAREIT currently defines FFO as follows: net
income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding
depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and
losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and
losses from change in control, and impairment write-downs of
certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the
impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of
depreciable real estate held by an entity. Other REITs may not
define FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition or may
interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than the
Company does and therefore the Company’s computation of FFO may not
be comparable to such other REITs.
The Company calculates AFFO by starting with FFO
and adjusting for recurring capital expenditures (defined as all
capital expenditures and leasing costs that are recurring in
nature, excluding expenditures that (i) are for items identified or
existing at the time a property was acquired or contributed
(including through the Company’s formation transactions), (ii) are
part of a strategic plan intended to increase the value or
revenue-generating ability of a property, (iii) are considered
infrequent or extraordinary in nature, or (iv) for casualty
damage), acquisition-related expenses (defined as expenses that are
incurred for investment purposes and business acquisitions and do
not correlate with the ongoing operations of the Company’s existing
portfolio, including due diligence costs for acquisitions not
consummated and certain professional fees incurred that were
directly related to completed acquisitions or dispositions and
integration of acquired business) that are not capitalized, and
certain other non-recurring expenses and then adding back non-cash
items including: write-off and amortization of deferred financing
fees, straight-line rent and other adjustments (including lump sum
catch up payments for increased rents), fair value lease
adjustments, income on insurance recoveries from casualties,
non-real estate depreciation and amortization and non-cash
components of compensation expense. AFFO is a non-GAAP financial
measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income
calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of the
Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that AFFO is
widely used by other REITs and is helpful to investors as a
meaningful additional measure of the Company’s ability to make
capital investments. Other REITs may not define AFFO in the same
manner as the Company does and therefore the Company’s calculation
of AFFO may not be comparable to such other REITs.
The Company calculates its net debt as total
debt less cash and property-related reserves. Net debt as of
June 30, 2023 is calculated as total debt of approximately
$227 million less cash and property-related reserves of
approximately $3 million.
These metrics are non-GAAP financial measures
and should not be viewed as an alternative measurement of the
Company’s operating performance to net income. Management believes
that accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP
implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes
predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically
risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and
analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for
real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be
insufficient by themselves. As a result, the Company believes that
the additive use of FFO and AFFO, together with the required GAAP
presentation, is widely-used by the Company’s competitors and other
REITs and provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s
performance and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to
make investment decisions.
