Our total debt at December 31, 2017 was $313.8 million. The increase in debt is primarily a result of $65.4 million in debt associated with the JANAF acquisition.
WHLR's weighted-average interest rate was 4.8% with a term of 4.31 years at December 31, 2018 (including debt associated with assets held for sale). This compares to an interest rate of 4.6% and a term of 4.81 years at December 31, 2017.

Each share of Series D Preferred Stock was sold to investors at an offering price of $16.50 per share. Net proceeds from the public offering totaled $21.2 million, which includes the impact of the underwriters' selling commissions, legal, accounting and other professional fees.

OPERATIONS AND LEASING                                                
The Company's real estate portfolio is 89.4% leased.
Q4-2018 Leasing Activity
Executed 29 lease renewals totaling 131,600 square feet at a weighted-average increase of $0.53 per square foot, representing an increase of 4.83% over prior rates.
Signed 8 new leases totaling approximately 56,579 square feet with a weighted-average rate of $10.38 per square foot.
YTD 2018 Leasing Activity
Executed 119 lease renewals totaling 693,970 square feet at a weighted-average increase of $0.52 per square foot, representing an increase of 6.05% over prior rates.
Signed 55 new leases totaling approximately 290,986 square feet with a weighted-average rate of $9.06 per square foot.
The Company’s gross leasable area ("GLA"), which is subject to leases that expire over the next twelve months, including month-to month leases declined to approximately 7.08% at December 31, 2018, compared to 9.39% at December 31, 2017. At December 31, 2018, 50.75% of this expiring GLA is 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 year ended December 31, 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 two of these locations had rents commence in 2018 with the third location commencing rent in February 2019. These backfills reduce the impact on the Company's annualized base rent to $1.9 million.

SAME STORE RESULTS                                                    
Same-store NOI for the three months ended December 31, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017, declined by (8.30%) and (10.62%) on a cash basis. The same-store pool for the 3 months ended December 31, 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 5.78% 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 Walnut Hill, the impact of a full quarter of the lease termination at Berkley Shopping Center and loss of rents on the Monarch Bank Building and Shoppes at Eagle Harbor sold in 2018. Same Store property expenses decreased 1.17% as a result of lower insurance expenses.
Same-store NOI for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017, declined by (4.01%) and (6.20%) on a cash basis. Same-store results for the year ended December 31, 2018, were driven, by a decrease of 2.66% in property revenues as a result of the impact of over half a year of Southeastern Grocers recaptures and rent modifications accompanied by anchor lease expirations at South Lake, Fort Howard and Walnut Hill, full year of rent modifications at Devine and loss of rents on the Monarch Bank Building and Shoppes at Eagle Harbor both sold in 2018, offset by $980 thousand in lease termination fees on Farm Fresh at Berkley Shopping Center. Property expenses increased 1.19% as a result of increased real estate taxes and utilities a direct result of vacant anchor space partially offset by a decrease in insurance expense. The tenant provision for credit losses decreased 12.25% 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 an undeveloped land parcel at Laskin Road for a contract price of $2.9 million, resulting in a $903 thousand gain with net proceeds of $2.7 million.
Sold Shoppes at Eagle Harbor for a contract price of $5.7 million, resulting in a $1.3 million gain with net proceeds of $2.1 million.
Sold Monarch Bank Building for a contract price of $1.8 million, resulting in a $151 thousand gain with net proceeds of $299 thousand.

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 Annual Report on Form 10-K, 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.

Additional factors are discussed in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available for review at www.sec.gov. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date hereof.

(1)
Reflects leases executed through January 9, 2019 that commence subsequent to the end of the current period.
(2)
Annualized based rent per occupied square foot, assumes base rent as of the end of the current reporting period, excludes the impact of tenant concessions and rent abatements.
(3)
We own the Amscot building, but we do not own the land underneath the buildings and instead lease the land pursuant to ground leases. As discussed in the financial statements, these ground leases require us to make annual rental payments and contain escalation clauses and renewal options.
(4)
This information is not available because the property is undeveloped.
(5)
This property is our corporate headquarters that we 100% occupy.
(6)
Square footage is net of management office the Company occupies on premise and buildings on ground lease which the Company only leases the land.

Definitions
Funds from Operations (FFO): an alternative measure of a REIT's operating performance, specifically as it relates to results of operations and liquidity. FFO is a measurement that is not in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Wheeler computes FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999 and December 2018). As defined by NAREIT, FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of loan origination costs), plus impairment of goodwill and real estate related long-lived assets and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Most industry analysts and equity REITs, including Wheeler, consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance because, by excluding gains or losses on dispositions and excluding depreciation, FFO is a helpful tool that can assist in the comparison of the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods, or as compared to different companies. Management uses FFO as a supplemental measure to conduct and evaluate the business because there are certain limitations associated with using GAAP net income alone as the primary measure of our operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, while historically real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions.
Adjusted FFO (AFFO): 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, non-recurring expenses, legal settlements, acquisition costs and capital raise costs. Management uses AFFO, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to exclude such items. Management believes that reporting 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. The Company also presents Pro Forma AFFO which shows the impact of certain activities assuming they occurred at the beginning of the year.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA): another widely-recognized non-GAAP financial measure that the Company believes, when considered with financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, is useful to investors and lenders in understanding financial performance and providing a relevant basis for comparison among other companies, including REITs. While EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for net income attributable to the Company’s common shareholders, net operating income, cash flow from operating activities, or other income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company believes that EBITDA may provide additional information with respect to the Company’s performance or ability to meet its future debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. The Company computes EBITDA by excluding interest expense, net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests, depreciation and amortization and impairment of goodwill, long-lived assets and notes receivable, from income from continuing operations. The Company also presents Adjusted EBITDA which excludes affecting the comparability of the periods presented, including but not limited to, costs associated with acquisitions and capital related activities.

Net Operating Income (NOI): The Company believes that NOI is a useful measure of the Company's property operating performance. The Company defines NOI as property revenues (rental and other revenues) less property and related expenses (property operation and maintenance and real estate taxes). Because NOI excludes general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes, gain or loss on sale or capital expenditures and leasing costs, it provides a performance measure, that when compared year over year, reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating commercial real estate properties and the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. The Company uses NOI to evaluate its operating performance since NOI allows the Company to evaluate the impact of factors, such as occupancy levels, lease structure, lease rates and tenant base, have on the Company's results, margins and returns. NOI should not be viewed as a measure of the Company's overall financial performance since it does not reflect general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, impairment of goodwill, impairment of long-lived assets, involuntary conversion, interest expense, interest income, provision for income taxes, gain or loss on sale or disposition of assets, and the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of the Company's properties. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, the Company's NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs.
