PASADENA, Calif., Nov. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — ExchangeRight, one of the nation’s leading providers of diversified real estate DST and REIT investments, has announced the company’s Essential Income REIT is now being tracked and reported on by Blue Vault. Blue Vault’s platform is committed to improving transparency in the Alternative Investment industry with in-depth research to help educate financial advisors and protect investors, including regular reports on non-traded REITs, private offerings, and more.
Blue Vault’s quarterly reporting will give advisors convenient access to valuable performance insights about the Essential Income REIT on an ongoing basis and compare it alongside other offerings tracked by the research firm. Blue Vault ranks performance profits of REITs based on Operating Performance, Financing Outlook, and Cumulative Modified Funds from Operations Payout. A summary from the second quarter report on the Essential Income REIT is presented below:
- Operating Performance: The Essential Income REIT has a “High” 12-month average Return on Assets (“ROA”), above the median ROA for all non-traded REITs for the previous four quarters. According to the report, “at its current cost of debt and level of borrowing, [the Essential Income REIT’s] use of debt is contributing to increased returns for shareholders.”
- Financing Outlook: Blue Vault reports that the Essential Income REIT has a lower need for financing, citing that the REIT’s interest coverage ratio “exceeds the 2.0x benchmark and the REIT does not have more than 20% of debt maturing within two years.” The Essential Income REIT has 100% fixed-rate financing.
- Cumulative MFFO Payout: The Essential Income REIT’s Modified Funds from Operations (“MFFO”) since inception “exceeds the cumulative cash distributions to common shareholders.” Considering this, Blue Vault concludes that cash distributions are generated from the REIT’s real estate operations and “trends suggest the distributions can be maintained.”
Warren Thomas, a managing partner at ExchangeRight, shared that this reporting relationship will help educate advisors about the Essential Income REIT’s successful performance to date, broadening its reach to more investors who need the kind of stable income that the REIT has historically generated.
“Blue Vault’s research is an industry standard for a reason, so we are excited that the Essential Income REIT’s performance will be tracked and analyzed by them going forward,” Thomas said. “We believe that the REIT’s inclusion in Blue Vault’s reporting will help to demonstrate the offering’s strong positioning in the market, providing third-party confirmation of how it favorably compares to other non-traded REITs in the industry.”
