The Company's real estate portfolio is 90.4% leased at September 30, 2018, which includes leases executed through October 9, 2018.
Q3-2018 Leasing Activity
For the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company executed 28 lease renewals totaling 239,047 square feet at a weighted-average increase of $0.46 per square foot, representing an increase of 6.46% over prior rates.

Approximately 1.48% of the Company's gross leasable area ("GLA") is subject to leases that expire over the next three months, with 40.48% of this expiring GLA subject to renewal options.
Southeastern Grocers
The Company modified thirteen leases with Southeastern Grocers anchor tenants and recaptured four locations. These modifications primarily include a combination of increases and decreases to lease term and rental rates, as well as deferred landlord contributions for remodels. The Company recaptured Ladson Crossing, St. Matthews, South Park, and Tampa Festival in the second quarter of 2018. The Cypress Shopping Center lease expired on March 31, 2018. As part of the negotiated recaptures the Company received $246 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The remaining lease modifications were approved by the Southeastern Grocers' bankruptcy court in the second quarter 2018. The initial annualized base rent impact of these modifications and recaptures is approximately $2.5 million. Three of these locations have been backfilled and rents have commenced on two locations.

SAME STORE RESULTS                                                    
Same-store NOI for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to September 30, 2017, declined by (12.91%) and (16.23%) respectively on a cash basis. The same-store pool for the 3 months ended September 30, 2018, was comprised of 4.9 million square feet that the Company owned as of January 1, 2017. Same-store results were driven by a 7.49% decrease in property revenues a result of a full quarter of Southeastern Grocers recaptures and rent modifications accompanied by anchor lease expirations at South Lake and Fort Howard and the impact of a full quarter of the lease termination at Berkley Shopping Center. Same Store property expenses increased 5.58% as a result of increased real estate taxes and utilities a direct result of vacant anchor space.
Same-store NOI for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to September 30, 2017, declined by (2.59%) and (4.75%) respectively on a cash basis. Same-store results for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, were driven, by a decrease of 1.62% in property revenues a result of the impact of a full quarter of Southeastern Grocers recaptures and rent modifications accompanied by anchor lease expirations at South Lake and Fort Howard and the impact of a full quarter of the lease termination at Berkley Shopping Center offset by $980 thousand in lease termination fees on Farm Fresh at Berkley Shopping Center. Property expenses increased 1.97% as a result of increased real estate taxes and utilities a direct result of vacant anchor space while the tenant provision for credit losses decreased 28.64% primarily resulting from increased collections on accounts receivable.

ACQUISITIONS                                                        
As previously disclosed, the Company acquired JANAF, a retail shopping center located in Norfolk, Virginia, for a purchase price of $85.65 million in January 2018.

DISPOSITIONS                                                        
Sold Chipotle ground lease at Conyers Crossing for a contract price of $1.3 million, resulting in a gain of $1.0 million with net proceeds of $1.2 million.
Sold the undeveloped land parcel at Laskin Road for a contract price of $2.9 million, resulting in a $903 thousand gain.

ABOUT WHEELER REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST, INC.                                    
Headquartered in Virginia Beach, VA, Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. is a fully-integrated, self-managed commercial real estate investment company focused on owning and operating income-producing retail properties with a primary focus on grocery-anchored centers. Wheeler’s portfolio contains well-located, potentially dominant retail properties in secondary and tertiary markets that generate attractive, risk-adjusted returns, with a particular emphasis on grocery-anchored retail centers. For additional information about the Company, please visit: www.whlr.us.

A copy of Wheeler’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which includes the Company’s consolidated financial statements and management’s discussion & analysis of financial condition and results of operations, will be available upon filing via the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission website (www.sec.gov) or through Wheeler’s website at www.whlr.us.

DEFINITIONS                                                        
FFO, AFFO, Pro Forma AFFO, Property NOI, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Wheeler considers FFO, AFFO, Pro Forma AFFO, Property NOI, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be important supplemental measures of its operating performance and believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate and gains and losses from property dispositions, the Company believes that 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, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from the closest GAAP measurement, net income.
Management believes that the computation of FFO in accordance with NAREIT’s definition includes certain items that are not indicative of the operating performance of the Company’s real estate assets. These items include, but are not limited to, nonrecurring expenses, legal settlements, legal and professional fees, and acquisition costs. Management uses AFFO, which is a non- GAAP financial measure, to exclude such items. Management believes that reporting AFFO and Pro Forma AFFO in addition to FFO is a useful supplemental measure for the investment community to use when evaluating the operating performance of the Company on a comparative basis. Management also believes that Property NOI, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA represent important supplemental measures for securities analysts, investors and other interested parties, as they are often used in calculating net asset value, leverage and other financial metrics used by these parties in the evaluation of REITs.

















FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS                                                
This press release may contain “forward-looking” statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When the Company uses words such as “may,” “will,” “intend,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “estimate” or similar expressions that do not relate solely to historical matters, it is making forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations discussed in the forward-looking statements. The Company’s expected results may not be achieved, and actual results may differ materially from expectations. Specifically, the Company’s statements regarding future generation of financial returns from its portfolio are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. For these reasons, among others, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements in this press release.
