STORE Capital Announces September Rent Collections of 88%

Properties Open for Business Rise to 98%

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., September 22, 2020 -- STORE Capital Corporation (NYSE: STOR), an internally managed net-lease real estate investment trust (REIT) that invests in Single Tenant Operational Real Estate, today announced September rent collections.

As of September 21, STORE Capital had received rent payments representing 88% of contractual base rent and interest for the month of September. The increase in collections was primarily driven by higher rent collected from tenants in the health club industry. Based on recent payments, the Company has now received 87% of both July and August base rent and interest, resulting in aggregate third quarter 2020 cash rent collections of 87%, compared to 73% reported for the second quarter. In addition, according to an updated survey of STORE Capital tenants, the percentage of properties open in September also increased to 98% from 93% in August.

“We are encouraged by the uptrends in both business reopenings and collections. Nearly all of our locations are open for business, with the remaining 2% of tenants centered in the most impacted industries, such as movie theaters and family entertainment centers,” said Christopher Volk, Chief Executive Officer of STORE Capital. “No new tenants requested lease deferrals in September, and we and our tenants are very optimistic as the nation continues to reopen for business.”
