Nolan, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Spirit Realty Capital, stated: "Our third quarter and year-to-date results demonstrate the strength of our diverse real estate portfolio and our roster of high quality tenants. During the quarter, we continued to take advantage of the current acquisition market and invested in 51 new properties that are occupied by similar, high-quality tenants, while disposing of non-essential assets. These transactions demonstrate our continued execution towards our strategic objectives of maintaining and growing a high-quality portfolio that supports sustainable earnings growth and predictable dividends for our shareholders." Financial Results Revenues Third quarter 2014 total revenues were $152.3 million, compared to $136.8 million in the third quarter of 2013. Total revenues for the first nine months in 2014 were $448.1 million, compared to $280.2 million for the first nine months in 2013. The increase in total revenue for the third quarter was attributable to inherent growth and the impact of real estate acquisitions since September 30, 2013. In 2013, certain of the Company's tenants operating performance improved significantly. As a result, previously unrecognized straight-line rent was recorded in the third quarter of 2013. This increase in straight-line rent more than offset the loss of revenue, which resulted from the Merger occurring after the beginning of the quarter on July 17, 2013.

Net Income Net income for the third quarter of 2014 was $7.7 million, or $0.02 per share based on 396.8 million weighted average shares of common stock outstanding, compared to the net loss for the third quarter of 2013 of $(21.9) million, or $(0.07) per share based on 329.5 million weighted average shares of common stock outstanding.

Net loss for the first nine months of 2014 was $(67.9) million, or $(0.18) per share based on 382.5 million weighted average shares of common stock outstanding, compared to the net loss for the first nine months of 2013 of $(41.9) million, or $(0.19) per share based on 216.7 million weighted average shares of common stock outstanding.

Net income for the third quarter and first nine months of 2014 also included impairment charges of $12.7 million and $42.1 million, respectively. Impairment charges recognized in the comparable periods of 2013 were $2.0 million and $5.7 million and were principally reported as discontinued operations.

The historical shares outstanding have been adjusted by the Cole II Merger Exchange Ratio as detailed in Spirit Realty Capital's proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) related to the merger.

FFO, AFFO, FAD and Leverage FFO for the third quarter of 2014 totaled $80.7 million, or $0.20 per share, compared to $27.9 million or $0.08 per share, for the third quarter of 2013. For the first nine months of 2014, FFO totaled $156.3 million, or $0.41 per share. For the first nine months of 2013, FFO totaled $71.1 million or $0.33 per share.

AFFO for the third quarter of 2014 totaled $83.1 million, or $0.21 per share, compared to $64.1 million, or $0.19 per share, for the third quarter of 2013. For the first nine months of 2014, AFFO totaled $236.4 million, or $0.61 per share. For the first nine months of 2013, AFFO totaled $137.8 million or $0.63 per share.

For the three months ended September 30, 2014, dividends declared to common stockholders of $66.3 million represented an 80% payout ratio against funds available for distribution (FAD).

Leverage at September 30, 2014 was 7.4x, compared to 7.1x at June 30, 2014. Leverage increased as debt was used to finance acquisitions in the third quarter. During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the $271.2 million proceeds from the Company's stock offering were used in part to reduce outstanding debt.

Definitions for FFO, AFFO, FAD and Leverage, as well as a reconciliation of these measures to net income (loss) can be found beginning on page 6 of this release.

Portfolio Highlights Real Estate Transactions Acquisitions: Spirit Realty Capital acquired 51 properties with a gross investment of $206.2 million in 19 separate transactions during the third quarter of 2014. These investments had an initial cash yield of 7.48% and 29% of the amount invested was with existing tenants. The associated leases have a weighted average remaining term of 14.3 years. For the first nine months in 2014, the Company invested $569.8 million in 241 properties in 55 separate transactions. These investments had an initial cash yield of 7.66% and 28% of the amount invested was with existing tenants.

These acquisitions exclude $0.5 million and $2.4 million of follow-on investments in existing properties during the quarter and the first nine months in 2014, respectively.

Dispositions: During the third quarter and the first nine months of 2014, Spirit Realty Capital sold 12 and 19 properties, respectively, generating gross sales proceeds of $29.5 million and $44.9 million, respectively.

Portfolio As of September 30, 2014, Spirit Realty Capital's gross investment in real estate and loans receivable totaled $7.7 billion, substantially all of which was invested in 2,408 properties (including 145 properties securing mortgage loans) that were 98% occupied. Spirit Realty Capital's properties are generally leased under long-term, triple net leases, with a weighted average remaining term of approximately 10.2 years. At September 30, 2014, approximately 44% of its rent is contributed from properties under master leases, and approximately 87% of its single-tenant property leases provide for periodic rent increases.

Spirit Realty Capital's real estate portfolio as of September 30, 2014, was diversified geographically across 49 states and among various industry types. Texas, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Georgia accounted for 12.6%, 6.7%, 5.8%, and 4.9% of the annual rent contribution of the real estate portfolio, respectively.  For the three months ended September 30, 2014, revenue from Shopko, the Company's largest tenant, represented 14.3% of total revenues. As of September 30, 2014, no other tenant represented more than 3.9% of total revenues.  Based on total rental revenue as of September 30, 2014, Spirit Realty Capital's three largest industry types were general merchandise (16.3%), casual dining restaurants (9.3%), and quick service restaurants (7.6%).

Capital Transactions ATM Common Stock Program No shares were issued under the Company's at-the-market (ATM) equity program during the third quarter of 2014. Since inception, Spirit Realty Capital has sold 1.6 million shares under its ATM program, raising net proceeds of approximately $16.3 million. The Company intends to use the proceeds from sales under the program from time to time for general corporate purposes, which may include future acquisitions, capital expenditures and loan repayments.

AFFO Guidance 2014:  Spirit Realty Capital is narrowing its 2014 AFFO guidance range to $0.81 to $0.83 per share. This AFFO guidance equates to expected net income (excluding non-recurring items that are not reflective of ongoing operations) of $0.15 to $0.17 per share plus $0.64 per share of expected real estate depreciation and amortization plus approximately $0.02 per share related to non-cash items and real estate transaction costs. 2014 AFFO was previously improved to $0.80 to $0.83 per share.

2015: Spirit Realty Capital is initiating its 2015 AFFO guidance with an expected range of $0.84 to $0.86 per share. This AFFO guidance equates to anticipated net income (excluding non-recurring items that are not reflective of ongoing operations) of $0.22 to $0.24 per share plus $0.61 per share of expected real estate depreciation and amortization plus approximately $0.01 per share related to non-cash items and real estate transaction costs.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements This press release contains statements that are not strictly historical and are forward-looking statements under federal securities laws. Any such forward-looking statements are reflections of management's current operating plans, estimates, beliefs and assumptions based on information currently available to management, and are not guarantees of future performance. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that can cause actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated, due to a number of factors which include, but are not limited to, the Company's continued ability to source new investments, risks associated with using debt to fund the Company's business activities (including refinancing and interest rate risks, changes in interest rates and/or credit spreads and changes in the real estate markets), unknown liabilities acquired in connection with the acquired properties, portfolios of properties, or interests in real-estate related entities, general risks affecting the real estate industry (including, without limitation, the market value of our properties, the inability to enter into or renew leases at favorable rates, portfolio occupancy varying from our expectations, dependence on tenants' financial condition, and competition from other developers, owners and operators of real estate), risks associated with our failure to maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and additional risks discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and in the prospectus supplements relating to the registered offerings recently completed by the Company. The Company expressly disclaims any responsibility to update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures FFO, AFFO, and FAD We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. FFO represents net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding real estate-related depreciation and amortization, impairment charges and net losses (gains) on the disposition of assets. FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. We use FFO as a supplemental performance measure because we believe that FFO is beneficial to investors as a starting point in measuring our operational performance. Specifically, in excluding real estate-related depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions and impairment charges, which do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of equity REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other equity REITs. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and does not capture the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. In addition, other equity REITs may not calculate FFO as we do, and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other equity REITs' FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income (loss) as a measure of our performance. 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 make distributions or service indebtedness. FFO also should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP to FFO is included in the financial information accompanying this release.

Adjusted FFO ("AFFO") is a non-GAAP financial measure of operating performance used by many companies in the REIT industry. It adjusts FFO to eliminate the impact of non-recurring items that are not reflective of ongoing operations and certain non-cash items that reduce or increase net income in accordance with GAAP.Our computation of AFFO may differ from the methodology for calculating AFFO used by other equity REITs, and, therefore, may not be comparable to such other REITs. A reconciliation of net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP to AFFO is included in the financial information accompanying this release.

Funds Available for Distribution ("FAD") is a measure of a REIT's ability to generate cash and to distribute dividends to its stockholders.   It reduces AFFO by deducting normalized recurring expenditures that are capitalized by the REIT and then amortized, but which are necessary to maintain a REIT's properties and its revenue stream. Our calculation of FAD may differ from the methodology applied by other equity REITs, and, therefore, may not be comparable to such other REIT's. FAD is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure and should not be used as a measure of our liquidity or as a substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP to FAD is included in the financial information accompanying this release.

Adjusted EBITDA and Annualized Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, modified to include other adjustments to GAAP net income (loss) for merger costs, real estate acquisition costs, impairment losses, gains/losses from the disposition of real estate and debt transactions and other items that are not considered to be indicative of our on-going operating performance. We exclude these items as they are not key drivers in our investment decision making process. We focus our business plans to enable us to sustain increasing shareholder value. Accordingly, we believe that excluding these items, which may cause short-term fluctuations in net income, but are not indicative of overall long-term operating performance, provides a useful supplemental measure to investors and analysts in assessing the net earnings contribution of our real estate portfolio. Because these measures do not represent net income that is computed in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered alternatives to net income or as an indicator of financial performance.

Annualized Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by multiplying Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter by four. Our computation of Adjusted EBITDA and Annualized Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the methodology used by other equity REITs to calculate these measures, and, therefore, may not be comparable to such other REITs. A reconciliation of net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Annualized Adjusted EBITDA is included in the financial information accompanying this release.

Adjusted Debt and Leverage Adjusted Debt represents interest bearing debt (reported in accordance with GAAP) adjusted to include preferred stock and exclude unamortized debt discount/premium, as further reduced for cash and cash equivalents and cash collateral deposits retained by lenders. We believe that including preferred stock in Adjusted Debt is appropriate because it is an equity security that has properties of a debt instrument not possessed by common stock. Additionally, by excluding unamortized debt discount/premium, cash and cash equivalents, and cash collateral deposits retained by lenders, the result provides an estimate of the contractual amount of borrowed capital to be repaid which we believe is a beneficial disclosure to investors.

Leverage is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure we use to evaluate the level of borrowed capital being used to increase the potential return of our real estate investments. We calculate Leverage by dividing Adjusted Debt by Annualized Adjusted EBITDA. The utility of Leverage should be considered as a supplemental measure of the level of risk that stockholder value may be exposed to. Our computation of Leverage may differ from the methodology used by other equity REITs, and, therefore, may not be comparable to such other REITs. A reconciliation of interest bearing debt (reported in accordance with GAAP) to Adjusted Debt is included in the financial information accompanying this release.

Initial Cash Yield We calculate initial cash yield from properties by dividing the annualized first month base rent (excluding any future rent escalations provided for in the lease) by the gross acquisition cost of the related properties. Gross acquisition cost for an acquired property includes the contracted purchase price and any related capitalized costs. Initial cash yield is a measure (expressed as a percentage) of the base rent expected to be earned on an acquired property in the first year.  Because it excludes any future rent increases or additional rent that may be contractually provided for in the lease, as well as any other income or fees that may be earned from lease modifications or asset dispositions, initial cash yield does not represent the annualized investment rate of return of our acquired properties.  Additionally, actual base rent earned from the properties acquired may differ from the initial cash yield based on other factors, including difficulties collecting anticipated rental revenues and unanticipated expenses at these properties that we cannot pass on to tenants, as well as the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
