A description of these non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is net loss, is provided above. In December 2022 we announced that we changed our business strategy and terminated our election to be taxed as a REIT effective January 1, 2023, however, our business and operations have not materially changed in the first quarter of 2023. Therefore, we did not change any of the non-GAAP metrics that we have historically used to evaluate performance. Caution on Use of Non-GAAP Measures EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, NOI, Cash NOI and Cash Paid for Interest should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating our operating performance. The method utilized to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be construed as a more relevant measure of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP metrics. As a result, we believe that the use of these non-GAAP metrics, together with the required GAAP presentations, provide a more complete understanding of our performance, including relative to our peers and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities. However, these non-GAAP metrics are not indicative of cash available to fund ongoing cash needs, including the ability to pay cash dividends. Investors are cautioned that these non-GAAP metrics should only be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance excluding these activities, as they exclude certain costs that have a negative effect on our operating performance during the periods in which these costs are incurred. Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, Net Operating Income, Cash Net Operating Income and Cash Paid for Interest. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization adjusted for (i) impairment charges, (ii) interest income or other income or expense, (iii) gains or losses on debt extinguishment, (iv) equity-based compensation expense, (v) acquisition and transaction costs, (vi) gains or losses from the sale of real estate investments and (vii) expenses paid with issuances of common stock in lieu of cash is an appropriate measure of our ability to incur and service debt. We consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA useful indicators of our performance. Because these metrics’ calculations exclude such factors as depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, interest expense, and equity-based compensation (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), these metrics; presentations facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other companies that use these measures. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, as a measure of our liquidity or as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating activities. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently and our calculation should not be compared to that of other companies. NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure used by us to evaluate the operating performance of our real estate. NOI is equal to total revenues, excluding contingent purchase price consideration, less property operating and maintenance expense. NOI excludes all other items of expense and income included in the financial statements in calculating net income (loss). We believe NOI provides useful and relevant information because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level and presents such items on an unleveraged basis. We use NOI to assess and compare property level performance and to make decisions concerning the operations of the properties. Further, we believe NOI is useful to investors as a performance measure because, when compared across periods, NOI reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating expenses and acquisition activity on an unleveraged basis, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income (loss). NOI excludes certain items included in calculating net income (loss) in order to provide results that are more closely related to a property’s results of operations. For example, interest expense is not necessarily linked to the operating performance of a real estate asset. In addition, depreciation and amortization, because of historical cost accounting and useful life estimates, may distort operating performance at the property level. NOI presented by us may not be comparable to NOI reported by other companies that define NOI differently. We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our operating results, NOI should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) as presented in our consolidated financial statements. NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of our liquidity or our ability to pay dividends. Cash NOI, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is intended to reflect the performance of our properties. We define Cash NOI as NOI excluding amortization of above/below market lease intangibles and straight-line adjustments that are included in GAAP lease revenues. We believe that Cash NOI is a helpful measure that both investors and management can use to evaluate the current financial performance of our properties and it allows for comparison of our operating performance between periods and to other companies. Cash NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as an indication of our financial performance, or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity or our ability to fund all needs. The method by which we calculate and present Cash NOI may not be directly comparable to the way other companies present Cash NOI. Cash Paid for Interest is calculated based on the interest expense less non-cash portion of interest expense and amortization of mortgage (discount) premium, net. Management believes that Cash Paid for Interest provides useful information to investors to assess our overall solvency and financial flexibility. Cash Paid for Interest should not be considered as an alternative to interest expense as determined in accordance with GAAP or any other GAAP financial measures and should only be considered together with and as a supplement to our financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

A description of these non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is net loss, is provided above. In December 2022 we announced that we changed our business strategy and terminated our election to be taxed as a REIT effective January 1, 2023, however, our business and operations have not materially changed in the first quarter of 2023. Therefore, we did not change any of the non-GAAP metrics that we have historically used to evaluate performance. Caution on Use of Non-GAAP Measures EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, NOI, Cash NOI and Cash Paid for Interest should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating our operating performance. The method utilized to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP should be construed as a more relevant measure of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP metrics. As a result, we believe that the use of these non-GAAP metrics, together with the required GAAP presentations, provide a more complete understanding of our performance, including relative to our peers and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities. However, these non-GAAP metrics are not indicative of cash available to fund ongoing cash needs, including the ability to pay cash dividends. Investors are cautioned that these non-GAAP metrics should only be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance excluding these activities, as they exclude certain costs that have a negative effect on our operating performance during the periods in which these costs are incurred. Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, Net Operating Income, Cash Net Operating Income and Cash Paid for Interest. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization adjusted for (i) impairment charges, (ii) interest income or other income or expense, (iii) gains or losses on debt extinguishment, (iv) equity-based compensation expense, (v) acquisition and transaction costs, (vi) gains or losses from the sale of real estate investments and (vii) expenses paid with issuances of common stock in lieu of cash is an appropriate measure of our ability to incur and service debt. We consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA useful indicators of our performance. Because these metrics’ calculations exclude such factors as depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, interest expense, and equity-based compensation (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), these metrics; presentations facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other companies that use these measures. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, as a measure of our liquidity or as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating activities. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently and our calculation should not be compared to that of other companies. NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure used by us to evaluate the operating performance of our real estate. NOI is equal to total revenues, excluding contingent purchase price consideration, less property operating and maintenance expense. NOI excludes all other items of expense and income included in the financial statements in calculating net income (loss). We believe NOI provides useful and relevant information because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level and presents such items on an unleveraged basis. We use NOI to assess and compare property level performance and to make decisions concerning the operations of the properties. Further, we believe NOI is useful to investors as a performance measure because, when compared across periods, NOI reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating expenses and acquisition activity on an unleveraged basis, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income (loss). NOI excludes certain items included in calculating net income (loss) in order to provide results that are more closely related to a property’s results of operations. For example, interest expense is not necessarily linked to the operating performance of a real estate asset. In addition, depreciation and amortization, because of historical cost accounting and useful life estimates, may distort operating performance at the property level. NOI presented by us may not be comparable to NOI reported by other companies that define NOI differently. We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our operating results, NOI should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) as presented in our consolidated financial statements. NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of our liquidity or our ability to pay dividends. Cash NOI, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is intended to reflect the performance of our properties. We define Cash NOI as NOI excluding amortization of above/below market lease intangibles and straight-line adjustments that are included in GAAP lease revenues. We believe that Cash NOI is a helpful measure that both investors and management can use to evaluate the current financial performance of our properties and it allows for comparison of our operating performance between periods and to other companies. Cash NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as an indication of our financial performance, or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity or our ability to fund all needs. The method by which we calculate and present Cash NOI may not be directly comparable to the way other companies present Cash NOI. Cash Paid for Interest is calculated based on the interest expense less non-cash portion of interest expense and amortization of mortgage (discount) premium, net. Management believes that Cash Paid for Interest provides useful information to investors to assess our overall solvency and financial flexibility. Cash Paid for Interest should not be considered as an alternative to interest expense as determined in accordance with GAAP or any other GAAP financial measures and should only be considered together with and as a supplement to our financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

American Strategic Investment Co. (NYSE: NYC) (“ASIC” or the “Company”), a company that owns a portfolio of commercial real estate located within the five boroughs of New York City, announced today its financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024. Second Quarter 2024 Highlights Revenue was stable at $15.8 million for the second quarter of 2024 and 2023 Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $91.9 million, compared to $10.9 million in the prior year primarily due to a non-cash impairment of $84.7 million related to the pending sale of 9 Times Square in Manhattan, New York Cash net operating income (“NOI”) was $7.4 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $7.5 million for the second quarter of 2023 Adjusted EBITDA grew 49% to $4.5 million compared to $3.0 million in the second quarter 2023 Portfolio occupancy expanded 80 basis points to 85.9%, compared to 85.1% for the second quarter 2023, with weighted-average lease term(1) of 6.3 years 81% of annualized straight-line rent from top 10 tenants(2) is derived from investment grade or implied investment grade(3) rated tenants with a weighted-average remaining lease term of 7.9 years as of June 30, 2024 Portfolio comprised of fixed and variable rate debt at a 4.9% weighted-average interest rate with 2.7 years of weighted-average debt maturity CEO Comments “Our second quarter results underscore the success of our ongoing portfolio management strategy,” said Michael Anderson, CEO of American Strategic Investment Co. “We grew our occupancy by 80 basis points and Adjusted EBITDA by nearly 50% compared to the same quarter in 2023. This performance reflects our long-term commitment to strengthening our portfolio and controlling costs. Looking ahead, we believe that monetizing a portion of our Manhattan properties, beginning with 9 Times Square, for which we now have a definitive agreement to sell the property for $63.5 million, will further strengthen our financial position by reducing debt and enabling us to invest in higher-yielding opportunities. The execution of our strategy is designed to create significant value for our shareholders as we move ahead.” Financial Results Three Months Ended June 30, (In thousands, except per share data) 2024 2023 Revenue from tenants $ 15,754 $ 15,782 Net loss attributable to common stockholders $ (91,851 ) $ (10,899 ) Net loss per common share (1) $ (36.48 ) $ (4.77 ) EBITDA $ (81,499 ) $ 557 Adjusted EBITDA $ 4,479 $ 3,002 (1) All per share data based on 2,518,176 and 2,286,797 diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
