Modiv is modern real estate investing…made for you

Estimated NAV increase follows the 9.6% NAV gain announced January 29, 2021

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (May 5, 2021) — Modiv Inc. (the “Company”), an innovative real estate, fintech and proptech asset manager, today announced a $24.61 per share estimated net asset value (“NAV”) of its common stock as of March 31, 2021, which represents a 7% increase from the NAV as of December 31, 2020. The 7% increase from our last NAV follows the 9.6% gain in our prior NAV announced January 29, 2021.

“The NAV per share increase reflects the broader commercial real estate market’s resilience and recovery, as well as our ability to prudently manage our portfolio,” said Aaron Halfacre, Modiv’s Chief Executive Officer. “During the first quarter of 2021, we sold three assets, extended three leases and refinanced four properties, demonstrating our operational capabilities along with the appeal of our assets. Our team is focused on maximizing the value of our portfolio and growing the NAV as we execute our vision of being a leading tech-enabled real estate asset manager.”

Estimated NAV
The Company engaged Cushman & Wakefield to assist the board of directors with determining a fair value range of the Company’s real estate portfolio and a resulting estimated per share NAV. The new estimated per share NAV has been approved by the Company’s board of directors, including its independent directors.

The valuation was based upon the estimated market value of the Company’s assets, less the estimated market value of the Company’s liabilities, divided by the total fully diluted shares outstanding as of March 31, 2021 and was performed consistent with the Company’s previously-disclosed Net Asset Value Calculation and Valuation Procedures. The estimated NAV does not reflect any “portfolio premium,” nor does it reflect an enterprise value for the Company. The board of directors intends to continue providing an estimated per share NAV on a quarterly basis to better reflect current market conditions and any portfolio-specific activities, as well as providing transparency for investors.

Operational Updates
In addition to the updated per share NAV, the Company provided several other operational updates:

  • The Company successfully completed its transition to Modiv Inc., effective February 1, 2021.
  • Three assets were sold for gross proceeds of $13.7 million.
  • Three five-year lease renewals were completed, consisting of a Northrop Grumman office in Florida and two Dollar General stores in Ohio.
  • Four properties were refinanced with a weighted average interest rate of 3.72% and more than five years of average term.
  • The Company entered into an innovative partnership with Forge Trust to provide no-custodial-cost self-directed IRAs to Modiv investors.

“Modiv’s foundation is built on a quality real estate portfolio backed by creditworthy tenants,” Halfacre added. “We believe there is upside potential by leveraging our asset management and acquisition platforms to increase portfolio value and scale. Additionally, we continue to expand our strategic relationships, explore opportunities that may arise in the proptech and fintech industries that complement our crowdfunding business model, and look to introduce new product offerings later this year.”

Modiv is the only company to have crowdfunded directly from individual investors a $400+ million real estate fund that holds title to all of its properties and charges no management or performance fees to its investors, although certain expenses related to operating a public company apply.
