Top-Tier Performance: ExchangeRight’s Essential Income REIT Continues Consistent Coverage of Distributions From Operations

PASADENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ExchangeRight has announced that its Essential Income REIT was one of only two Growth and Stabilizing Non-Traded equity REITs (“NTR”) that fully covered its distributions with Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”) or Modified Funds from Operations (“MFFO”) in 2024 and Q1 2025, as reported in Blue Vault’s 2024 and Q1 2025 Non-Traded REIT Industry Reviews. This represents the REIT’s consistent inception-to-date track record of fully funding its cash distributions solely from its operations instead of from investor equity or financing. The Essential Income REIT’s AFFO to distribution coverage inception-to-date is 104.28% as of March 31, 2025.

In Q1 2025, the Essential Income REIT experienced one of the five lowest redemption rates, with redemptions totaling 1.51% of weighted average shares outstanding. In contrast, the other 11 NTRs averaged 3.17%, more than 2 times the rate experienced by the Essential Income REIT, per Blue Vault’s report.

The Essential Income REIT was also one of only five NTRs that have an interest coverage ratio greater than 2.15x, with a Q1 2025 interest coverage ratio of 2.2x. This represents the REIT’s resilient ability to cover its financing costs with a robust margin in order to protect investors’ income and capital. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

In Q1 2025, the Essential Income REIT was given a High Operating Performance rating according to Blue Vault, having one of the top three returns on assets for growth and stabilizing REITs for the previous four quarters.
