While the environment presents challenges, it also presents opportunities. Our recent efforts, which I highlight below, focus on placing the company on firmer financial ground while remaining open to strategic growth.Strengthening the Balance SheetWe are actively progressing on our debt restructuring plans. As previously communicated, we are under contract to sell two assets-our Auburn University-leased property in Huntsville, AL, and a Starbucks in Tampa, FL-both of which are under the same loan structure. These transactions are expected to close by the end of May or early June 2025. Upon closing, we will retire approximately $10.7 million in debt, significantly reducing our debt service obligations and enhancing our liquidity.Importantly, a third property under this same loan-the 7-Eleven location in Washington, D.C.-will become completely debt-free, allowing us to retain income from that asset with no encumbrances. In addition, we expect to receive approximately $1 million currently held by the lender, which we intend to deploy toward other outstanding debt obligations and other capital needs.We are also in ongoing discussions with lending partners to evaluate refinancing and potential new financing structures aligned with future acquisitions and UPREIT contributions. We will act prudently and only pursue such initiatives when market conditions and strategic alignment support accretive growth.Equity Strategy and Capital OptimizationA key priority for 2025 remains the restructuring or recapitalization of the preferred equity used to acquire the Modiv portfolio in 2023. While this capital is not due to fully mature until August 2026, we recognize the cost burden it places on our long-term growth potential. We are actively exploring options to optimize this element of our capital structure, including discussions that could involve broader preferred equity consolidation or other structures that replace this equity in our overall capitalization. Our aim is to position the company for greater flexibility and scalability as opportunities arise.Portfolio Performance and Tenant EngagementDespite the macroeconomic crosswinds, our portfolio remains stable. We closely monitor the financial health of our tenants and their performance at each location. The first quarter of 2025 provided a reminder of market unpredictability, when a GSA tenant in California issued a lease termination notice, through the DOGE initiative - only to rescind it in April, reinstating the lease and full rent.We continue to see positive tenant behavior, including early lease renewals that reflect a desire to maintain strategic real estate footprints. This aligns well with our long-term investment thesis and validates the selectivity of our acquisition strategy. These early renewals are a strong signal of tenant commitment and portfolio resilience.Market ObservationsThe net lease sector continues to experience a muted transaction environment. Newmark reports that deal volume in our segment has declined for nearly 12 consecutive quarters-a trend driven largely by the sharp contrast between today's interest rates and the ultra-low rate environment of 2020-2021.While interest rates have stabilized somewhat from their 2023 highs-with the 10-year Treasury currently hovering just below 4.50%-we still see lenders incorporating wider spreads to cushion for market volatility. This cautious stance underscores the importance of maintaining strong lender relationships and being agile in our capital planning.Looking AheadIn order to continue to evaluate the multitude of options for the future direction of the Company, the independent Board of Directors recently formed of a committee to evaluate potential strategic alternatives for Generation Income Properties, and I want to provide additional context and clarity to this effort. This step is part of a thoughtful and deliberate process-not an indication of a predetermined outcome. Rather, it reflects the increased inbound interest we've received from a range of parties, some with proven credibility and others less so. Our goal is to ensure a comprehensive, disciplined review of all credible opportunities that may enhance shareholder value.This letter is intended to provide transparency and context-not just updates. We recognize that the economic environment is evolving quickly, and we're committed to staying nimble while protecting shareholder interests. Whether through financial restructuring or evaluating strategic alternatives, our guiding principle remains constant: What is in the best interest of our shareholders?We approach the remainder of 2025 with clarity, focus, and a disciplined mindset. While challenges persist, so too do opportunities for a stronger and more resilient future.Thank you for your continued trust and support. I look forward to keeping you updated on our progress.Sincerely,David SobelmanCEO, Generation Income Properties, Inc.About Generation Income PropertiesGeneration Income Properties, Inc., located in Tampa, Florida, is an internally managed real estate investment trust formed to acquire and own, directly and jointly, real estate investments focused on retail, office, and industrial net lease properties in densely populated submarkets.

We believe the use of Core FFO and Core AFFO are useful to investors because they are widely accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs. FFO and related measures should not be considered alternatives to net income as a performance measure or to cash flows from operations, as reported on our statement of cash flows, or as a liquidity measure, and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures. You should not consider our Core FFO, or Core AFFO as an alternative to net income or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Our reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure and statements of why management believes these measures are useful to investors are included below.Generation Income Properties, IncConsolidated Balance SheetsAs of March 31,As of December 31,20252024(unaudited)AssetsInvestments in real estateLand25,689,42823,288,811Building and site improvements72,147,33067,647,250Acquired tenant improvements2,605,4292,384,076Acquired lease intangible assets11,416,17910,504,740Less: accumulated depreciation and amortization(13,374,019)(12,462,091)Net real estate investments98,484,34791,362,786Cash and cash equivalents630,557612,939Restricted cash34,50034,500Deferred rent asset373,344331,837Prepaid expenses111,087140,528Accounts receivable176,76148,118Escrow deposits and other assets1,017,5141,233,123Held for sale assets9,805,7186,732,001Right-of-use asset, net6,048,0336,067,958Total Assets$116,681,861$106,563,790Liabilities and EquityLiabilitiesAccounts payable641,602171,262Accrued expenses1,493,2851,127,896Accrued expense - related party798,036683,347Acquired lease intangible liabilities, net1,537,7341,036,274Insurance payable-40,835Deferred rent liability335,675176,017Lease liability, net6,477,4606,464,901Loan payable - related party5,500,0005,500,000Mortgage loans, net of unamortized debt discount of $1,569,096 and $1,103,336 at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and debt issuance costs64,614,93158,340,234Derivative liabilities423,753169,685Total liabilities81,822,47673,710,451Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests31,402,45026,664,545Stockholders' EquityCommon stock, $0.01 par value, 100,000,000 shares authorized; 5,443,188 shares issued and outstanding at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.54,43154,431Additional paid-in capital29,019,04729,019,047Accumulated deficit(26,009,404)(23,277,545)Total Generation Income Properties, Inc.

We also disclose funds from operations ("FFO"), adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO"), core funds from operations ("Core FFO") and core adjusted funds of operations ("Core AFFO") all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they are widely accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs.FFO and related measures do not represent cash generated from operating activities and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements; accordingly, they should not be considered alternatives to net income or loss as a performance measure or cash flows from operations as reported on our statement of cash flows as a liquidity measure and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures.We compute FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude non-recurring or extraordinary items (as defined by GAAP), net gains from sales of depreciable real estate assets, impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate assets, and real estate related depreciation and amortization, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries. We then adjust FFO for non-cash revenues and expenses such as amortization of deferred financing costs, above and below market lease intangible amortization, straight line rent adjustment where the Company is both the lessor and lessee, and non-cash stock compensation to calculate Core AFFO.FFO is used by management, investors, and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers primarily because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. We believe that AFFO is an additional useful supplemental measure for investors to consider because it will help them to better assess our operating performance without the distortions created by other non-cash revenues or expenses. FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. We believe that Core FFO and Core AFFO are useful measures for management and investors because they further remove the effect of non-cash expenses and certain other expenses that are not directly related to real estate operations. We use each as measures of our performance when we formulate corporate goals.As FFO excludes depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions that are available for distribution to stockholders and non-recurring or extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses and interest costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income or loss. However, FFO should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our operating performance since it does not reflect either depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties which could be significant economic costs and could materially impact our results from operations. Additionally, FFO does not reflect distributions paid to redeemable non-controlling interests.Investor ContactsInvestor Relations[email protected]SOURCE: Generation Income Properties
