Fourth Quarter 2022 Results: FFO available to common shareholders and Non-controlling OP Unitholders for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, was $13.7 million, a 19.9% decrease when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2022, equaling $0.34 per share. Core FFO available to common shareholders and Non-controlling OP Unitholders for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, was $13.7 million, a 21.9% decrease when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2022, equaling $0.34 per share. Core FFO decreased primarily due to an increase in SOFR rates on variable rate debt during the quarter resulting in a higher interest expense and accelerated rental income from a lease termination recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2022, partially offset by rental income from third and fourth quarter acquisitions.
Fiscal Year 2022 Results: FFO available to common stockholders and Non-controlling OP Unitholders for the year ended December 31, 2022, was $61.1 million, a 6.1% increase when compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, equaling $1.54 per share. FFO available to common stockholders and Non-controlling OP Unitholders, as adjusted for comparability, for the year ended December 31, 2022, was $61.1 million, a 2.3% increase when compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, equaling $1.54 per share. Core FFO available to common stockholders and Non-controlling OP Unitholders for the year ended December 31, 2022, was $61.8 million, a 5.3% increase when compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, equaling $1.56 per share. Core FFO increased primarily due to the increase in rental income from 2021 and 2022 acquisitions, leasing activity and accelerated rental income from lease terminations, partially offset by an increase in SOFR rates on variable rate debt resulting in a higher interest expense.
Net loss attributable to common stockholders and Non-controlling OP Unitholders for the three months and year ended December 31, 2022 was $1.3 million and $3.1 million, or $0.03 and $0.08 per share, respectively, compared to net loss attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021 of $0.6 million and $4.6 million, or $0.02 and $0.12 per share, respectively. A reconciliation of Core FFO to net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022 and the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, which we believe is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Core FFO, and a computation of basic and diluted Core FFO per weighted average share of common stock and Non-controlling OP Unit and basic and diluted net income per weighted average share of common stock and Non-controlling OP Unit is set forth in the Summary Information table above.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter:
• Issued common stock under ATM program: Issued 0.2 million shares for net proceeds of $4.0 million;
• Issued Series F Preferred Stock: Issued 13,360 shares for net proceeds of $0.3 million;
• Terminated Stock Sale Agreements: Terminated the Series E and Common Stock Sales Agreements in connection with the expiration of our 2020 Registration Statement;
• Amended Advisory Agreement: Amended the Advisory Agreement with our Advisor to eliminate the payment of the incentive fee for the quarters ending March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023;
• Reduced common stock cash distribution run rate: Reduced the run rate on monthly cash distributions per common share from $0.1254 to $0.10, starting in January 2023; and
• Declared distributions: Declared monthly cash distributions for January, February, and March 2023, totaling $0.30 per share on our common stock and Non-controlling OP Units, $0.414063 per share on our Series E Preferred Stock, $0.375 per share on our Series F Preferred Stock, $0.375 per share on our Series G Preferred Stock, and $0.2625 per share on our senior common stock.
Comments from Gladstone Commercial's President, Buzz Cooper: "Our financial results reflect consistent performance and stabilized revenues from our tremendous same store property occupancy, rent collection and growth, accretive real estate investments made during 2022 and 2021, and our ability to renew tenants, as well as our deleveraging and capital recycling programs. We believe we had an excellent 2022, by investing $114.4 million in 13 industrial assets in our target markets at accretive cap rates. We have continued our capital recycling program, whereby we have sold non-core assets and used the proceeds to de-lever our portfolio, as well as acquire properties in our target growth markets. We successfully exited five non-core assets during 2022, recognizing a capital gain of $10.1 million, and we have additional non-core assets we anticipate selling over the next one to two years that we believe will result in capital gains. We will continue to opportunistically sell non-core assets and redeploy the proceeds into stronger target growth markets with a focus on industrial investment opportunities. While we expect to face challenges due to the lingering effects of the pandemic, significant inflation with a corresponding increase in interest rates, and the geo-political and economic issues arising from the war in Ukraine, we feel strongly about the depth of our tenant credit underwriting. We have collected 100% of 2022 cash rents. We anticipate our tenants will successfully navigate the current economic climate and will be able to continue operating successfully when any remaining pandemic restrictions are fully lifted and economic normalcy returns. Despite economic uncertainty, during 2022 we were able to lease 91,412 vacant square feet with three tenants, and renew 537,087 square feet with nine tenants. We are actively marketing our remaining vacant space and anticipate positive outcomes. We have amended our credit facility to add a new term loan component, and increased our revolver, which we believe will be a great source of financial flexibility in these uncertain markets. We expect to continue to have access to the debt and equity markets, as necessary, for added liquidity and are extremely pleased with our solid performance over the last several years. We believe our same store rents, which have increased by approximately 2% annually in recent years, should continue to rise as we grow and we will continue to primarily focus on investing in our target markets, with an emphasis on industrial properties and actively managing our portfolio."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
FFO: The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") developed FFO as a relative non-GAAP supplemental measure of operating performance of an equity REIT in order to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and impairment losses on property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO does not represent cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of its performance or to cash flow from operations as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions. The Company believes that FFO per share and unit provides investors with an additional context for evaluating its financial performance and as a supplemental measure to compare it to other REITs; however, comparisons of its FFO to the FFO of other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to potential differences in the application of the NAREIT definition used by such other REITs.
FFO as adjusted for comparability: FFO as adjusted for comparability is FFO adjusted for certain items that are not indicative of the results provided by the Company's operating portfolio and affect the comparability of the Company's period-over-period performance. These items include the adjustment for non-recurring expense adjustments related to the write off of offering costs pertaining to redeemed securities. Although the Company's calculation of FFO as adjusted for comparability differs from NAREIT's definition of FFO and may not be comparable to that of other REITs, the Company believes it is a meaningful supplemental measure of its operating performance. Accordingly, FFO as adjusted for comparability should be considered a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance.
Core FFO: Core FFO is FFO adjusted for certain items that are not indicative of the results provided by the Company's operating portfolio and affect the comparability of the Company's period-over-period performance. These items include the adjustment for acquisition related expenses, gains or losses from early extinguishment of debt and any other non-recurring expense adjustments. Although the Company's calculation of Core FFO differs from NAREIT's definition of FFO and may not be comparable to that of other REITs, the Company believes it is a meaningful supplemental measure of its operating performance. Accordingly, Core FFO should be considered a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance.
The Company's presentation of FFO, as defined by NAREIT, FFO as adjusted for comparability, or presentation of Core FFO, does not represent cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of its performance or to cash flow from operations as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions.
