Jackson Hsieh
Thanks, Pierre, and good morning.
We’re happy to report sturdy outcomes for 2022, which exceeded the targets we introduced in 2019. We achieved AFFO per share of $3.56, surpassing the midpoint of our 2019 Investor Day vary by $0.14. We additionally elevated our complete ABR to $681 million, whereas growing our industrial publicity to 23% with each hurdles exceeding our Investor Day targets.
Moreover, we keep excessive occupancy, low misplaced lease, and steady unreimbursed property prices throughout our portfolio of 2115 properties. These outcomes mirror our prudent underwriting strategy and properly diversified portfolio leased to stylish operators in sturdy industries.
Through the quarter, we invested $312.4 million in 24 properties at a 7.27% money capitalization price. 88.4% of those investments have been in industrial property, together with distribution, mild manufacturing, and industrial out of doors storage, with 90.2% of the investments originated by way of sale leaseback transactions.
We additionally invested $38.5 million in growth and income producing capital expenditures, virtually half of which was associated to our $67 million funding in $125 million cutting-edge facility for SunOpta, a number one plant-based meals producer. This facility opened for operations in December.
Our disposition program additionally produced nice leads to the fourth quarter, we offered 21 occupied properties for $110.2 million at a 6.22% weighted common money capitalization price, representing a optimistic 93 foundation level unfold for a capital deployment cap price and leading to a $33.3 million acquire.
The occupied combine included 42% retail, and 47% medical and solely 4% of the offered properties have been leased to funding grade tenants. For the yr, we offered 278 million of leased property at a weighted common money capitalization price of 5.47%, representing a 118 foundation factors unfold for capital deployment cap price and producing a $94.2 million acquire. Solely 24% of the offered properties have been leased to funding grade tenants.
Our capital recycling program, which began early in 2022, has been very profitable. It has allowed us to additional reshape the portfolio and accretively redeploy capital into asset lessons and industries that we discover enticing in the present day. We anticipate continued success with tendencies this yr, in complete by way of acquisitions and tendencies, Spirit has efficiently accomplished greater than 150 transactions in 2022, which is a testomony to our folks and the strong processes we now have established.
As I beforehand mentioned, nearly all of our fourth quarter acquisitions have been in industrial property, which continues to be a strategic focus for us. Given our rising publicity, we now have featured notable achievements on this sector in our supplemental investor presentation.
On Web page 13, we highlight the gross sales of Shiloh, Sunny Delight, BE Aerospace and Mac Papers Properties. These have been industrial properties that we bought and later offered, realizing 85% acquire and capturing 312 foundation factors of cap price compression, since we acquired these property.
On Web page 14, we spotlight the fourth quarter acquisition of a producing facility leased to Method Interglobal, a prime RV equipment producer and provider. In November, shortly after we closed on our sale leaseback Method Interglobal was acquired by LCI Industries, a a lot bigger public firm, and a serious credit score improve for Spirit.
On the identical web page, we function the event of the 270,000 sq. foot, state-of-the-art SunOpta facility, illustrating how Spirit can accomplice with industrial tenants to construct mission important amenities.
Lastly, on Web page 15, we spotlight choose industrial acquisitions accomplished within the fourth quarter, together with one, distribution and two, industrial out of doors storage amenities. We discover these investments interesting as a result of they’re mission important property results in sturdy operators with low in place rents. And whereas the acquisition yields are very enticing for us in the present day, we anticipate that these amenities identical to the economic tendencies featured on Web page 13 will respect in worth over time.
Considered one of our earlier investments inside the industrial sector was the 129 million sale leaseback transaction for a distribution heart and two manufacturing amenities leased to Celebration Metropolis that we accomplished in 2019. We highlighted this funding at our Investor Day and supplied an replace on Web page 16 of the supplemental investor presentation.
What’s vital to notice is that regardless of Celebration Metropolis’s ongoing chapter, we anticipate a optimistic consequence for Spirit given Celebration Metropolis’s dominant place within the celebration items sector, and the property prime quality and mission important nature. 85% of our funding is within the 900,000 sq. foot distribution heart in Chester, New York, which is positioned in Orange County.
This property serves as Celebration Metropolis’s major distribution heart, working at full capability and dealing with over 45,000 SKUs for purchasers throughout the globe. Given its important position within the firm’s operations, this facility epitomizes the idea of mission important.
As well as, market rents for distribution facilities in Orange County stand at $11 per sq. foot and are projected to extend by 6% this yr. That is considerably greater than our present rental price of $8.05 per sq. foot, which grows contractually at 2% per yr. Our funding on this facility is properly under substitute prices and may we ever have the chance to re-let the asset, there’s vital upside on this property as a result of excessive tenant demand for distribution facilities, the dearth of others of this dimension and the problem of doing floor up growth on this market.
The 2 different amenities are smaller when it comes to funding, but additionally have nice tales. The Eden Prairie website is a producing facility, answerable for manufacturing of 60% of the world’s Mylar Balloons. This constructing is in a robust sub-market and is significant to the anagram enterprise, the manufacturing arm of Celebration Metropolis.
Like Chester, it’s an instance of a mission important asset. The Los Lunes facility is a high-quality asset in a superb location. Notably, there’s already been sub-leased to Cupertino Electrical on the similar rental price that Celebration Metropolis was paying, displaying the flexibility and high quality of the sunshine manufacturing property we pursue.
As a reminder, our strategy to underwriting relies on analyzing business period, and our tenants place inside it, inspecting tenant credit score worthiness and evaluating the actual property residual worth underpinning the power. Whereas you will need to get all three proper, while you enter right into a sale leaseback, we all know that credit can change to the optimistic or detrimental for quite a lot of causes. So the business and actual property are paramount.
Within the case of Celebration Metropolis, the credit score deteriorated. However we stay assured within the business and Celebration Metropolis’s place because the dominant celebration items provider and producer and consider the actual property is extraordinarily invaluable. We due to this fact anticipate a optimistic consequence for Spirit’s funding and consider this will probably be a great proof of idea for underwriting strategy.
As we take into consideration the present yr, we stay dedicated to taking actions that can create essentially the most worth for shareholders. We’ve got set forth a totally financed capital deployment plan, using free money stream, asset tendencies and in-place debt to provide optimistic funding spreads in a risky capital markets setting.
Our focus for the upcoming yr is to showcase our portfolio energy and spotlight our platforms effectiveness, which we anticipate to end in regular money flows and dividends for our shareholders.
With that, I will flip it over to Mike to debate the quarter and our 2023 steerage.
Mike Hughes
Thanks, Jackson. Good morning, everybody.
As soon as once more, our operations continued to carry out at a really excessive degree throughout the fourth quarter. We achieved a slight enhance in occupancy a 0.1% to succeed in 90.9%. Our misplaced lease improved from 0.3% within the third quarter to solely 0.1%. Our weighted common lease time period remained steady at 10.4 years. Our unreimbursed property prices remained regular at 1.4%.
Our ABR elevated by 19.9 million, reaching 680.9 million. The rise was pushed by web acquisitions at 15.1 million, natural lease progress of 4.8 million. Our ahead same-store gross sales progress stabilized at 1.6% as nearly all of the film theaters re-tenanted throughout COVID, which have been driving a barely greater progress have largely returned to paying full base lease slightly than variable lease.
AFFO per share was $0.88 in comparison with $0.90 within the third quarter. The $0.02 lower was primarily attributable to a discount of 1.7 million in non-tenant earnings, a rise of 1.8 million in money curiosity expense, reflecting a full quarters influence of the 800 million time period mortgage borrowings, which we swapped to a set price of three.5% in August.
Turning to our steadiness sheet, we issued 1.6 million shares throughout the quarter below our ATM program, producing web proceeds of 63.9 million. We ended the yr at 5.2x leverage with liquidity of 1.7 billion comprised of money and money equivalents, restricted money and availability below our credit score facility and delay draw time period loans. We anticipate to attract on the time period mortgage in the direction of the center of the yr.
As well as, our deferred lease steadiness declined by 7.4 million throughout 2022 to 7.9 million at year-end and may decline to three.5 million by the top of 2023. As a reminder, our deferred lease has already been acknowledged in earnings, due to this fact the reimbursement of deferred lease solely impacts our steadiness sheet.
Now for 2023 steerage, our AFO per share vary is $3.53 to $3.59, the capital requirement of 700 million to 900 million, and tendencies of 225 million to 275 million. To raised perceive our steerage, we now have supplied a stroll from This fall 2020 annualized AFFO per share to the midpoint of our 2023 AFFO per share on Web page 4 of our supplemental investor presentation.
As we famous on Web page 4, we consider that annualized fourth quarter 2022 AFFO per share, equating to $3.52 is the best run price for analyzing and understanding our 2023 steerage, because the fourth quarter consists of the complete influence of the aforementioned $800 million of time period loans and minimal non-tenant earnings. Strolling ahead with $3.52 per share, we anticipate about $0.04 from natural tenant progress, $0.06 from our 2023 web capital deployment, plus $0.05 from final lease reserves, which equal 1% of our AVR and fewer one other $0.01 for inflationary G&A will increase.
Needless to say as is normally the case at this level throughout the yr, the final lease reserve is an assumption just isn’t particular to a selected tenant. As Jackson talked about, our capital deployment plan is solely funded by way of free money stream, tendencies and our current debt capability with no reliance on the capital markets. Ought to the capital markets flip extra favorable, or we discover compelling danger adjusted return alternatives, we will definitely think about making the most of these conditions. However for now, we stay cautiously optimistic and disciplined in our strategy to the yr.
With that, I’ll flip the decision again to the operator to open it up for Q&A. Operator?
Query-and-Reply Session
Operator
Thanks. We’ll now start the question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions]. Our first query comes from Wes Golladay with Baird. Please go forward.
Wes Golladay
Simply fast level on the web funding exercise. What sort of unfold are you for investments this yr? I feel final yr, you stated you have been round 118 foundation factors.
Mike Hughes
Hello, Wes. That is Mike. Sure, I imply, given the way in which we dimension it and the way in which we will use capital to accumulate we’re about 200 foundation factors of unfold.
Wes Golladay
Okay, incredible. After which, you do have that 500 million delayed draw a time period mortgage? Do it’s a must to draw the entire thing? Are you able to do a partial on that? And what do you concentrate on timing and placing on swaps? Or do you have already got a swap to that?
Mike Hughes
Sure. We’ve not swapped that but. That is one thing we’ll proceed to guage and be optimistic about so far as timing, contractually, we have to draw that by center of the yr at July 1, though there’s some flexibility that we are able to use to barter long term extensions on a few of that if we have to.
Wes Golladay
Okay. Are you able to do the entire thing, or are you able to do partial?
Mike Hughes
Sure. You are able to do partial up till July 1. So that you do partial after which by July 1, you might want to draw the entire thing until we might truly get an extension.

Our subsequent query comes from Haendel St. Juste with Mizuho.
Haendel St. Juste
I suppose first query is, you guys backed up 3.2 million of deal pursuit prices within the quarter? I do know you had a bit of bit final quarter, 470,000, I feel, curious if there’s any feedback or something you’d wish to share on what drove that huge enhance? Or was something? Properly, any feedback you can also make in all probability on that. Thanks.
Jackson Hsieh
Certain. Hey, Haendel. Good morning. It is Jackson. That was form of a one-off state of affairs. It was a big transaction that we have been seeking to purchase. We spent fairly a little bit of time on final yr. We additionally had clearly numerous transactions that we accomplished. We closed over 100 separate transactions and U.S. cap charges have been shifting up all year long. We dropped quite a lot of transactions, if tenants have been both delaying or if environmental due diligence or lease phrases did not come again the way in which we had initially underwrote the transaction and dedicated to it. We walked away. I would say it is a mixture of extra transactions, extra terminated transactions and a big acquisition that we have been probably buying final yr.
Haendel St. Juste
Okay. Honest sufficient. Recognize that shade. And possibly only a follow-up on the $0.05 of reserves embedded within the information right here. I do know you guys do not wish to get right into a dialog round particular tenants, however possibly are you able to speak a bit broadly concerning the watchlist yr publicity to form of the at recognized danger classes? After which, particularly, Celebration Metropolis, you talked about that you do not anticipate any lease disruption throughout or after emergence of chapter. So simply curious what state of affairs is damaged, so information for that as properly?
Jackson Hsieh
Sure. Possibly I will begin first, and handover. We usually use a 1% reserve, it is only a regular loss lease reserve that is been traditionally what we have carried out, final yr was barely much less. From what we see in the present day, clearly, Celebration Metropolis goes by way of a restructuring proper now, and we really feel, as I talked about in my feedback, we’re extremely assured in that asset within the money flows. And if these money flows change and we’re flawed. We predict there’s truly upside in these money flows given the actual property and issues I talked about within the ready remarks.
Because it pertains to watchlist, sure, we’re extra issues. There’s extra issues, clearly, simply given the setting that we’re sitting in. I can truly let you know in the present day that the realized lively issues that we’re when it comes to misplaced lease should not right here proper now. So I do know it simply looks like to us to be extra prudent with that 1% simply as we take a look at it. And clearly, I can let you know our firm and groups aim is to do lots lower than 1% when it comes to misplaced lease this yr.
So sure, we’ll proceed to replace that as we undergo the yr to traders. And proper now, we simply suppose initially of this yr, simply given a few of the financial uncertainties that we wish to be a bit of bit extra conservative as we give it some thought.
Mike Hughes
Haendel, as Jackson talked about, I imply that could be a regular assumption that we begin the yr with. And one factor that makes it form of a headwind to our steerage this yr is that final yr was simply so good. We had very, little or no loss lease. So simply from a year-over-year form of lapping the yr standpoint. That assumption does create a headwind in our steerage.
Jackson Hsieh
And one factor, when you take a look at our unit protection and company protection, you may discover that there wasn’t a lot change between the third and fourth quarter. And look, we’re seeing good efficiency in quite a lot of traces of companies. The informal eating space, comfort shops, auto companies, dwelling furnishings, golf and notably properly, specialty retail. And clearly, there’s some areas which have a bit of bit extra strain, automotive dealerships proper now are coping with some further stock and ground plan financing goes up. So I feel in steadiness, it is mainly the identical, however we’re simply clearly being much more vigilant, staying near our tenants proper now.
Operator
Your subsequent query comes from Michael Goldsmith with UBS.
Michael Goldsmith
You went heavy with industrial acquisitions this quarter, which has been telegraphed, however 75% of your exercise was it industrial, industrial penetration picked up 230 foundation factors. So I suppose as you proceed to form of rework the portfolio, have your assumptions form of been appropriate in that that is the place you wish to be. What are you seeing form of inside the industrial class now? And I suppose, form of like simply usually, with this macro backdrop, what are you seeing on the retail facet? And is that simply thought-about possibly extra dangerous simply given the financial setting. Thanks.
Jackson Hsieh
Certain. I will begin. Thanks. That is Jackson. Look, I feel one of many explanation why we have been so profitable this previous quarter within the industrial space is that simply the challenges within the company financing markets, financial institution debt, excessive yield has made a sale-leaseback possibility, a extra compelling financing possibility long-term for company tenants. And that is notably the case that we highlighted this previous quarter within the industrial house. I imply for us, we now have this three-pronged strategy that we speak about on a regular basis, business period, tenant credit score, actual property. And we will persist with that.
We have been doing that since all of us joined right here at this firm since we have reshaped it starting in 2017. And I feel it will repay. Clearly, we speak lots about Celebration Metropolis. We essentially have underwritten property that means within the industrial sector in addition to retail. And we expect that the issues that we’re shopping for in the present day within the industrial sector are simply tremendous mission-critical, particularly a few of this industrial out of doors storage amenities that we’re shopping for. That does not imply that we’re not going to do retail. We nonetheless prefer it. We clearly, are very near a handful of tenants and industries that we’re notably nonetheless bullish round.
However I feel that the crack within the financing markets corporately have enabled us to be extra aggressive on this industrial house. That is why you are seeing it enhance. The mortgage financing market has kind of made it more difficult for a few of the personal fairness gamers, actual property personal fairness gamers that compete towards us on this sector. So I feel we will proceed to make progress this yr. And clearly, because the markets turn into to normalize and get extra aggressive once more, we might need to shift away from industrial. However proper now, we’re seeing actually good alternatives to kind of match the issues the standards that we underwrite to.
Michael Goldsmith
No, I respect that, Jackson. And also you form of led into the second query. Simply as we take into consideration ’23 and the focus of the place you are going to be dealing, like can form of this make-up proceed by way of this yr? Or is it going to be a bit of bit extra balanced? Like is 75% industrial sustainable? Or is it simply going to be form of a combination or the place the simply — the place there’s alternative general?
Jackson Hsieh
Sure. I imply I might say like within the first quarter, it will in all probability look much like that. As we undertaking out by way of the course of the yr, clearly, it is more durable to foretell that. I feel quite a lot of our success is due to the place the financing markets are corporately and within the mortgage market as properly. That is having a optimistic influence for us, the problem over there in that market.
I feel as these markets enhance; it simply will probably be extra aggressive for us to have the ability to preserve growing at this house. So look, I feel like we consider that we’ll be capable to do extra within the industrial space. We’re definitely going to do it within the first quarter. It is laborious to foretell the remainder of the yr. However we now have the pliability to put money into each areas, industrial and retail. So we really feel like given our steerage and the way we’re enthusiastic about the marketing strategy this yr, we really feel very comfy that we’ll be capable to obtain these outcomes.
Operator
Our subsequent query comes from Greg McGinniss with Scotiabank.
Greg McGinniss
So simply This fall, the place you acquired at a 7.2% cap 30 foundation factors greater than the place it is usually been. Might we see greater cap charges this yr than there given the present financing setting and tenant demand on the market leasebacks? After which, simply curious when you might give us some particulars on the place you are seeing roughly competitors for property and whether or not you are feeling extra constrained by capital availability or compelling transactions presently?
Jackson Hsieh
Properly, on the cap price facet, I feel within the first quarter, you are going to see our acquisition cap charges proceed to float greater. I would say it is in all probability going to look someplace within the 7.25% to 7.5% vary that is in all probability a great assumption in 2023. And one of many causes I feel we’re seeing that success is as I stated, companies are their actual property, particularly in industrial firms, monetizing it for long-term financing, simply given form of the place non-investment-grade firms get commerce in the present day.
So I feel that is going to proceed to play out positively for us. Clearly, there’s extra competitors for a lot of these property. A few of our public friends do the identical funding technique. So I feel we’ll see that going ahead. And I feel the opposite factor that you will see this yr for us, when you look final yr, we did about 100, I feel it is like 114 million of CapEx in growth. This yr, that quantity will probably be in all probability related, if not a bit of bit greater and it will be at the very least a 50-basis level premium to the cap price I simply described, the 7.25%, 7.5%. So it will be priced extra appropriately. And we have already acquired a pleasant pipeline of, I will name income, capital expenditure alternatives which can be within the steerage for this yr. So we’ll proceed to guage the market.
After which, the final piece to your query, Greg, we have been very lively on the disposition market. And when you take a look at the variety of transactions that we offered final yr, a part of it was reshaping, a part of it was danger mitigation, a part of it was simply proof-of-concept in some methods to how we have invested. So we really feel like we have got an excellent deal with on kind of the place the market is trending proper now. 40% of these gross sales like within the fourth quarter that we accomplished have been 1031 consumers, 60% what I name personal kind of establishments or people. So we’ll proceed to watch the markets as we’re shopping for and promoting as a part of the plan dictates for the working plan for 2023. So I feel we have got a great deal with on the place pricing is correct now.
Greg McGinniss
Possibly simply touching in your revenue-producing CapEx feedback. Is that build-to-suits, or is that simply investing in present portfolio with the tenants which can be there proper now?
Jackson Hsieh
It is a mixture of the 2. It is in all probability extra biased to current tenants that wish to both enhance the power or enhance the scale and sq. footage of the power. I feel as time goes on, you may see us begin to spotlight this yr a tenant has X, Y, Z house, they wish to enhance the power by 30%. We’re in an excellent place to offer that financing as a result of we’re sitting there with the lease, they form of meet our approval truly, in some circumstances, to cope with the extra house which can be on our websites. So it is form of a win-win alternative for us to reprice in some circumstances, a few of the capital which can be getting into to boost the general lease economics. In order that will probably be an fascinating a part of the story as we speak about that within the coming yr.
Greg McGinniss
Okay. If I might simply add one fast one right here. Simply trying on the latest Ann Taylor acquisition. How do you get comfy with that or different personal equity-backed retailers as tenants and traditionally have been extra liable to chapter, and we’re in a at the moment wholesome setting, however appears to be like prefer it may get more difficult within the close to future right here. So simply curious the way you go about evaluating these alternatives.
Jackson Hsieh
Sure. We’re enthusiastic about that facility.
Ken Heimlich
Properly, Jackson’s talked about. We take a look at these alternatives, truly, like we take a look at any of the alternatives that we come throughout. It is a 3-legged stool, the business, the tenant and the actual property. On this explicit state of affairs, we’re very comfy with the business. Ladies’s attire, it isn’t going away. The income for that market is greater now than it was in 2019.
Within the explicit buyer, the section that our tenant targets has truly acquired the expectations are for continued progress. So we’re very comfy with the business. For the tenant, clearly, our tenant operates each Ann Taylor and LOFT. Obtained limitations on how a lot we are able to go into the credit score, nevertheless it’s north of $1 billion of income, stable EBITDA, very low leverage. And one factor that we like about this retailer is they’re the very omnichannel competent, substantial portion of the income is thru e-commerce. So we like that facet.
The third piece is the actual property. These are completely mission important. That is the DC, the primary distribution heart for each of those manufacturers. Additionally handles the entire ecommerce success. You’ve got acquired one within the Columbus, MSA. Nice facility under substitute value, in line rents. All of the features you’d need within the DC, the 36-foot clear heights, issues like that.
The opposite facility is simply to the west of Indianapolis, the e-fulfillment. Once more, this units a serious a part of their income. So that is mission-critical to them. However we’re thrilled with all features, all 3 legs of the stool. The largest one being considerably under substitute prices. So we’re very pleased with this acquisition.
Jackson Hsieh
I’d simply say one factor. We do have a significant share of personal equity-backed tenancy in our firm. And we have been very optimistic on Sycamore. They’re very, very high-quality sponsor and identical to Helman and Freeman is over at dwelling. These are very, very prime quality, very predictable operators of companies that run enterprise as properly and finally, generally monetized by way of IPO or merger. So as soon as once more, we like that Ann Taylor alternative.
Operator
Our subsequent query comes from Brad Heffern with RBC Capital Markets.
Brad Heffern
Are you able to speak concerning the phrases that you just’re seeing within the sale-leaseback market proper now? Are you seeing concessions from consumers apart from the upper cap charges like greater escalators, longer phrases, higher lease protections, et cetera?
Jackson Hsieh
I imply, I can kind of let you know that the issues that we’re within the first quarter, the economic property that we now have 2-plus p.c annual escalators. So we’re seeing higher alternative on escalations notably in sale-leaseback alternatives within the industrial space. Look, it is nonetheless aggressive. I imply we take a look at quite a lot of various things earlier than we form of land on. Hey, this has all 3 of the three-pronged underwriting items which can be significant for us. So we have a tendency to seek out that after we form of knock these down, it’s aggressive. There are different those who take a look at the world the identical means we do.
In order Mike recommended that we’re simply out right here not competing with folks. However I’d say, usually, within the industrial space, firms are sale leaseback, high-yield financial institution financing as a way to an finish. And so if the phrases get too egregious within the sale leaseback, then rapidly, they take a look at company debt as a substitute. Retail has acquired just a bit bit extra commoditized, we’re not seeing escalations to alter in any significant means or lease time period change in any significant means.
I’d say the opposite factor, we now have seen that is been a dramatic change in a few of the industrial sale leasebacks that we’re . A yr in the past, phrases and situations have been actually aggressive because it pertains to consumers. Tenants had much more leverage over consumers in that dialog. I simply suppose there have been simply extra consumers, extra personal consumers form of prepared to not take a look at some of these items as a result of I feel they are not as long-term oriented when it comes to maintain durations. For us, we’re shopping for these property, anticipating to carry them for the entire lease-term.
So environmental issues, lease time period issues, task issues for us. In order that’s the place we’re, I feel, within the present market. We’re discovering good alternatives nonetheless aggressive after we get down there, nevertheless it’s not as rambunctious because it was, say, a yr in the past.
Brad Heffern
And Michael, I simply wish to make clear on the unidentified reserves, are we purely speaking about misplaced lease, we’re speaking about that? Or is there some accounting reserve that you just’re planning to take? I am just a bit confused concerning the terminology.
Mike Hughes
Sure. No. We’re purely speaking about misplaced lease reserves. So simply an assumption round issues that might occur within the portfolio all year long that might trigger lease to go away, proper? So it is simply an assumption, it isn’t an accounting reserve. It is not something that we have recognized or is deliberate or that we now have to take. It is simply an assumption, once more, constant in how we have approached it and all the opposite years, it is only a reserve for the unknown.
Operator
Our subsequent query comes from Josh Dennerlein with Financial institution of America.
Josh Dennerlein
Only one follow-up on the reserve and steerage. Sorry if I missed it, however what number of cents was it in 2022?
Mike Hughes
It was about the identical initially of the yr. Josh, it might need been a bit of bit barely much less. A bit bit lower than 1%. We usually take a look at 1% of ABR, so ABR was much less. So from a greenback standpoint, it was definitely much less. However usually, we goal that 1% of ABR after we give our steerage.
Josh Dennerlein
Okay. However the place did it find yourself? I suppose, what number of cents was in 2018?
Mike Hughes
Sure. Had been it ended up. I feel we ended up at about, I imply, 0.3% for the yr, someplace round there, about 30 bps for the complete yr, I consider, when you common it out. So clearly, a lot lower than what our assumption is for this yr. We ended up for the yr.
Josh Dennerlein
Okay. After which, I suppose, through the years, what’s form of the vary? Is that 30 bps the bottom you form of ever noticed. After which like possibly what’s form of the best making an attempt to suppose by way of a cycle.
Mike Hughes
Sure. That was positively the bottom. I imply, because the spin-off, it is usually been decrease than 1%. I would say the exception of that will be 2020. I’ve to return and look. I feel it was a bit of above 1% in 2020, clearly, that was a tough yr. However in all years because the spin-off exterior of the COVID yr, it has been sub 1%. However final yr, it was positively the perfect yr we have ever had.
Josh Dennerlein
Okay. Superior. After which, possibly simply form of turning to competitors for property. I suppose, are you guys seeing roughly competitors on the market for property that you are looking at?
Jackson Hsieh
I’d say proper now, within the fourth quarter, clearly, you possibly can see the outcomes. First quarter, we really feel actually comfy with our present pipeline. It looks like there’s a bit of drop in deal stream, to be sincere with you, such as you in all probability heard that from different administration groups. We’re nonetheless choosing and discovering alternatives. The amount of issues that form of meet our standards simply appear to be lower than, say, final quarter. I am unsure what’s inflicting that proper now. However that being stated, I feel we’re actually comfy with the steerage that we put out right here that we’ll be capable to obtain actually good alternatives in that 7.25%, 7.5% vary.
And like I stated, we have got a great runway of income producing CapEx that we now have already buttoned down mainly this yr by way of the course this yr. So we really feel very comfy with that proper now. And look, if issues change the place there’s extra alternative, extra enticing cap charges. Clearly, we have not factored any capital markets exercise in our steerage, clearly, we are able to pivot if that occurs if that is sensible. However proper now, we expect we have sized the best alternative for our targets this yr given form of what’s taking place available in the market.
Josh Dennerlein
Jackson, if I studying into your feedback, is that form of lighter form of sluggish proper now for belongings you’re and indicate that steerage is extra again half loaded for acquisitions?
Jackson Hsieh
I would let you know, prefer it’s in all probability equally weighted, I imply, from what we are able to inform proper now. I imply, look, rates of interest are nonetheless fairly risky proper now, proper? However as we began the yr, the ahead curve has continued to extend. When that occurs and kind of the company markets get extra interjection, I feel that form of offers us a greater alternative to lean into industrial sale leasebacks. If company debt turns into extra favorable, that creates competitors for us in addition to simply those who compete with us on the sale-leaseback entrance.
So I feel proper now, we really feel fairly comfy with our pipeline and what we put on the market. And if issues change for the optimistic that make us speed up acquisitions, we’ll clearly reap the benefits of that if the chance presents itself. However we expect it is a cheap approach to strategy {the marketplace} given a few of the financial uncertainty that is nonetheless on the market.

Rob Stevenson
Are you able to speak about how the theater property are performing in the present day given the field workplace? And are there different looming near-term operator points past Regal? And if you might want to retenant something in the present day, how is the marketplace for that in the present day versus while you did the final batch of retenanting that you just did properly on?
Ken Heimlich
Sure. That is Ken. The theaters had an outstanding third quarter. Fourth quarter was not as nice, however they held the road, whatnot, 2023, a giant driver for the theaters is the discharge slate. 2023 appears to be like fairly good and persistently all year long. Proper now, that slate, you do not see any huge gaps. So they have a constant launch dates for the tentpole movies. And that is what is the huge driver for theaters these days.
It is fascinating on the reuse entrance, it is public information. Regal did reject certainly one of our theaters. We have been pleasantly stunned with the inbound exercise we have seen proper now. It’s extremely early days on that entrance, nevertheless it’s not cricket. Whether or not it is different operators or different makes use of for that actual property. So we’ll see because the yr unfolds. However proper now, we see a really steady outlook.

Mike, you talked about focusing on a 200-basis level unfold for 2023. Are you able to give us a tough ballpark estimate for what sort of nominal cap price you’ll have to obtain when your acquisition to roughly make that unfold?
Mike Hughes
Sure. I imply, as Jackson talked about, we’re focusing on 7.25%, 7.5% money cap price for 2023. So at that cap price, we are able to obtain that 200 foundation factors of unfold primarily based on the way in which we’re funding, which is free money stream, accretive tendencies and steadiness sheet debt.
Harsh Hemnani
That is useful. After which, Jackson, prior to now couple of quarters, you talked about that that is actually the perfect alternatives you are seeing in a very long time within the web lease house. Is that also the case? And what’s performed out in your pipeline over the primary a part of this yr. And simply given the favorable market setting, given how good the sale-leaseback market is for you in the present day. Why do you suppose the general public market has given you not the perfect value of capital relative to your friends who aren’t whilst leaseback focus as you’re? And I suppose in inside discussions, what are you able to do to possibly enhance that value of capital to have the ability to capitalize on this chance that is perhaps upcoming in ’23? As a result of it looks like you are extra constrained on the price of capital facet than you are capable of supply offers however possibly not have or not it’s accretive due to the price of capital?
Jackson Hsieh
Sure. I feel you had quite a lot of questions there. I will attempt to begin with this one. Since 2019, publish the wind up of SMTA. Should you take a look at the midpoint of our AFFO steerage for this yr. Our CAGR has been shut to five%. And that is been with quite a lot of financial macro headwinds, COVID and invasion, inflation, enhance in rates of interest. So we have been capable of accomplish, I feel, an inexpensive progress price since 2019. I feel when you take a look at our tenancy, look, I feel folks have, for no matter cause, related a better danger to our tenancy. So Celebration Metropolis goes to show out. We’re very, very assured we’re going to have the ability to present proof of idea there, and the asset is value some huge cash, greater than what we paid for it. We predict that at house is one other tenant that Prime 5 tenant. They’re headquartered in Dallas. We meet with them. We simply have a latest assembly with them. We have been very, very assured about what that firm goes to do. Our actual property that we personal, and we consider in that credit score. And we consider that we’ll be capable to — that will probably be one other good proof-of-concept.
So I feel, Harsh, what we now have to do that yr, the perfect factor that we are able to do to I feel, attempt to enhance our value of capital is to mainly outperform that misplaced lease quantity that we have highlighted as 1% this yr. We predict we are able to do it. Look, we expect it is cheap to place that on the market. However I feel if we’re capable of beat that quantity this yr, definitely from a tenant danger standpoint, folks wouldn’t essentially affiliate our portfolio in that means. We’re originating extra industrial alternatives. I feel we will proceed to maintain tempo with that simply given a few of the dislocation within the company financing market. So we’re simply going to make this firm from a portfolio standpoint higher.
And look, we have gone huge, and now we’re taking part in a bit of bit smaller when it comes to variety of transactions and quantity. And I feel this yr will probably be a extremely good yr for us to point out form of proof-of-concept what this firm can actually do. I imply we acquired a unprecedented variety of transactions relative to what we have traditionally carried out final yr. This yr, it is like half of that, proper?
However I feel probably the most vital issues that we’re going to have the ability to present is on the — how creditworthy this portfolio is, given a few of the kind of feedback that we have gotten prior to now about danger of potential tenancy.

Our subsequent query comes from R.J. Milligan with Raymond James.
R.J. Milligan
I wished to ask you concerning the $60 million that was issued on the ATM this quarter. Are you able to speak concerning the thought course of in issuing fairness at these ranges? And may we anticipate extra ATM issuance in 2023?
Mike Hughes
Sure, clearly, it is only a small quantity. We wish to ensure that we form of enter ’23 at a great leverage degree. There have been nonetheless first rate spreads. Within the fourth quarter while you take a look at that sliver quantity of fairness. So I feel we resulted in a great spot, presold spreads final yr, completed out the yr in a great place on the steadiness sheet. And that units us up properly for ’23 primarily based on our capital deployment plan. Proper now, the place the inventory value is, we’re not planning to difficulty any extra fairness. The fairness value improves materially, and we see good acquisition alternatives that the place the cap price is at a spot the place we expect the spreads are there, we might definitely get the ATM, that is positively off the desk.
We might do one thing even larger and speed up later within the yr if that is sensible. However for now, we really feel like we ended 2022 in a great spot within the steadiness sheet to set us up for our capital deployment plan this yr with no need to entry to capital markets. So establishment stays the identical, I would not anticipate an exercise, however definitely, if the chance presents itself and if one thing is sensible, whether or not it is from a cap price standpoint, our acquisitions or inventory value enchancment or a bit of little bit of each, we might turn into lively once more.
R.J. Milligan
That is useful. And I do know that or the midpoint of the steerage, I feel, assumes that you just’re funded from free money stream, tendencies after which growing debt. And I am simply curious, primarily based on that steerage, the place do you anticipate leverage ending the yr assuming no extra fairness issuance?
Mike Hughes
Sure. I feel our leverage will proceed to be in that mid-5s vary that we usually goal. We’re at all times going to keep up conservative leverage and clearly keep our BBB score. In order that mid-5% vary is the place we’re comfy. Clearly, we ended 2022, a bit of bit under that. So I feel we now have some flexibility there to form of migrate into the mid-5s.

Our subsequent query comes from Ronald Kamdem with Morgan Stanley.
Query
Simply a few fast ones. Simply trying on the deck, the bridge for the steerage is basically, actually useful. So I see the $0.06 from web deployment. Presumably that features kind of the curiosity value headwinds. I used to be simply questioning when you might escape what the curiosity value headwinds is in ’23.
Mike Hughes
Sure. So that features any incremental curiosity on any incremental debt we’re utilizing to fund the acquisition. In order that’s in-built there. The curiosity expense headwind for ’23 on the debt that we issued in 2022 is constructed into the This fall 2022 annualized AFFO per share, proper?
And that is why we went off that as a result of that This fall $0.88 that we annualized had the complete influence of the $800 million time period mortgage, which basically was all of the debt that we ended up issuing in 2022 that we fastened at 3.5%. That is what made that stroll simpler. Should you have been to consider that debt from a year-over-year foundation, proper?
So we put that debt in place in center of August, fastened it, and that was clearly cheaper that early within the yr in 2022. So when you have been to form of stroll from the complete yr ’22 to the complete yr ’23, simply on that debt, that will be a couple of $0.05 year-over-year. However the way in which that we have form of designed this stroll for you was to include the rate of interest headwind on the debt we issued in ’22 in that This fall annualized quantity.
So while you take a look at the web capital deployment, that does have the influence of upper rates of interest on the incremental debt we have used to accumulate properties all through ’23. If that is sensible.
Ronald Kamdem
Obtained it. Makes a ton of sense. And simply my second one, simply going again to kind of the acquisition steerage. So I suppose the primary one is, are we supposed to grasp that kind of $800 million on the midpoint, it sounds just like the messaging is it is extra kind of alternative constraint than capital constrained at this level or is it each? Simply making an attempt to get a way of that quantity?
Jackson Hsieh
I’d simply say, it is a bit of little bit of each. I imply, look, for us, look, we talked about our value of capital. It is not on the place the place I consider it ought to be and for us to difficulty capital and do bigger quantities of quantity. I do not suppose that makes quite a lot of sense. I feel to me, what is sensible is basically show out what we have been doing the previous couple of years, which we consider we are going to this yr. And at that time, we are able to take a look at probably growing quantity with a more practical value of capital.
I imply, so I would say it is a mixture of each. I imply, the chance set that we see remains to be there, however we do not suppose it is sensible, clearly, preserve buying in a $1 billion-plus price given our present value of capital and we expect we’ll get — it is going to be higher for shareholders for us to form of show out the entire offers that we have transacted are actually good, which we consider they’re.
Ronald Kamdem
Nice. After which my final one, if I’ll. Simply kind of sticking with that value of capital level, simply because I do not suppose I’ve heard this query requested on the decision but. I feel prior to now, you talked about, primary, probably JV capital, proper, and partnering with JVs as a supply after which possibly being open to kind of extra strategic actions within the house with possibly others having a greater value of capital. Simply curious the place your head is at in the present day. The rate of interest setting appears to have extra endurance right here. So each on the JV and kind of strategic actions. Any feedback you possibly can share can be useful.
Jackson Hsieh
Sure. I’d say in all probability on the JV facet, I do not in all probability not — we’re in all probability not going to pursue that this yr. There’s clearly alternative for us to do it. I feel it simply complicates the story for us. And when it comes to strategic, I imply look, I feel if we discovered a compelling transaction that might redefine what we’re doing elevated progress, clearly, we might pursue that and finance it accordingly. My guess is we will find yourself simply could seem form of boring, however simply kind of persist with this fundamental plan. And after we get to the top of the yr, say, hey, look, everybody, we have purchased near $5 billion of actual property, actually good actual property is performing rather well, and we see extra alternative to do extra. And I feel that is going to be — I feel that will probably be an vital facet of what we do to attempt to get this value of capital in the best place.
I imply, look, I can let you know, our senior administration staff could be very aligned long-term with shareholders. I imply when you take a look at our 2020 efficiency inventory awards that have been issued, I imply, mainly, these have been fully surrendered due to efficiency. And when you take a look at our 2021s, ’22s and ’23s, our senior administration staff as govt staff is mainly 100% PSA. There is not any restricted inventory awards time-vested that we acquired. So we’re actually aligned with shareholder efficiency and that is all and so we consider that what we’re doing will mainly enhance our value of capital and put us in a great place.

And also you basically had that 1031 purchaser held up in form of a brand new tax yr, if you’ll.
Ken Heimlich

They is probably not there within the numbers they have been a yr or 2 years in the past. But it surely’s secure to say that there are 1031 consumers on the market seeking to transact about 40% of our dispose or particular person consumers, 1031 some money. About 60% have been institutional. So we’re seeing what we like, which is a wholesome combine. We’re not counting on one particular section to finish tendencies.

I additionally suppose like a few of the consumers have been targeted on accelerated depreciation to not into final yr. So a few of the automotive washes current actually good alternatives for that. So my guess is, because the yr progresses, folks will look to reap the benefits of accelerated depreciation and a few of the asset sorts that we personal that may present that depreciation.

Okay. That is very useful. After which only a fast line merchandise one. Impairments have been a bit of elevated within the quarter. Simply questioning if there was one thing particular driving that, or if that was simply tied to tendencies or form of future capital recycling.

Sure. Go forward, Ken, first.
Ken Heimlich
Proper now, the acquisitions that we do are typically a mixture of these. Should you evaluate a pure distribution to a pure mild manufacturing, I would recommend distribution goes to be a bit of decrease cap price. Lots of the amenities that we find yourself investing in usually have a mix of these. It is a manufacturing facility with as a part of the actual property is the power to do distribution. However we’re seeing nice alternatives in all three of these.
