Barry
Sternlicht

Chairman & CEO of Starwood Capital Group, reflects on the past five years and provides his outlook.

Our focus remains on where we invest and how we manage the portfolio

We own good quality assets, in the strongest performing sectors

  • Nearly 90% of SREIT’s portfolio is invested in rental housing, industrial, and floating-rate loans
  • In addition, 78% of SREIT’s portfolio continues to be located across growth markets in the Southeast and Southwest U.S.
  • Another 9% is located in international markets for diversification

SREIT’s balance sheet remains an asset to investors in the current environment

  • Close to 100% of SREIT’s secured property debt is effectively fixed with five years of duration remaining
  • In addition, SREIT currently has an average cost of debt of 3.7% with limited near-term loan maturities
  • We have 7% of our debt maturing in 2025

This has led to
SREIT achieving a
market leading

7%
Same-store NOI growth for the 3 months
ended March 31, 20245

2024

We believe lower interest rates and the decline in new supply across top performing asset classes should be a long-term positive for real estate. We are also seeing improvement in investor sentiment for real estate.

The combination of these elements provides us with optimism for 2024.

We thank you for your support over
the past 5 years and look forward to
our continued partnership.

Summary of Risk Factors / Footnotes

All figures are as of May 31, 2024 unless otherwise noted. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Financial data is estimated and unaudited.

  1. There can be no assurance we will meet our investments objectives. The payment of distributions is not guarantee and distributions may come from the sale of assets, offering proceeds or borrowings. While our shares are less volatile, they have limited liquidity compared to publicly-traded REITs. The appraisal of properties is subjective and any volatility smoothing biases in the appraisal process may lower the volatility of our NAV an cause our NAV to not accurately reflect the actual value of such properties.
  2. Represents Class I share performance. Please visit Starwoodnav.reit/performance for all SREIT share classes.
  3. Inception to date (“ITD”) returns are annualized utilizing a compounding method and consistent with the IPA Practice Guideline 2018, as reported in the IPA/Stanger Monitor (initial issuance in Q1’19). The inception date for the Class I shares is December 21, 2018.
  4. Reflects the current month’s distribution annualized and divided by the prior month’s net asset value, which is inclusive of all fees and expenses. Approximately 100% of these distributions were funded from cash flows from operations. Distributions are not guaranteed and may be sourced from non-income items.
  5. Same property net operating income (“NOI”) is for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This data is not a comprehensive statement of the SREIT’s financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. NOI is a supplemental non-GAAP measure of the SREIT’s property operating results that we believe is meaningful because it enables management to evaluate the impact of occupancy, rents, leasing activity, and other controllable property operating results at the SREIT’s real estate. We define NOI as operating revenues less operating expenses, which excludes (i) impairment of investments in real estate, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) straight-line rental income and expense, (iv) amortization of above- and below-market lease intangibles, net, (v) lease termination fees, (vi) property expenses not core to the operations of such properties, and (vii) other non-property related revenue and expense items such as (a) general and administrative expenses, (b) management fees, (c) performance participation allocation, (d) loss (income) from unconsolidated real estate ventures, (e) income from investments in real estate debt, (f) net (gain) loss on dispositions of real estate, (g) interest expense, and (h) other (income) expense. We evaluate its consolidated results of operations on a same property basis, which allows us to analyze its property operating results excluding acquisitions and dispositions during the periods under comparison. Properties in the SREIT’s portfolio are considered same property if they were owned for the full periods presented, otherwise they are considered non-same property. Properties held-for-sale are excluded from same property results and are considered non-same property. SREIT does not consider its investments in its unconsolidated real estate ventures and investments in real estate-related debt to be same property. As such, same property NOI assists in eliminating disparities in net income due to the acquisition or disposition of properties during the periods presented, and therefore we believe it provides a more consistent performance measure for the comparison of the operating performance of its properties, which we believe is useful to investors.

An investment in Starwood Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. involves a high degree of risk. You should purchase these securities only if you can afford the complete loss of your investment. You should carefully read the information set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of the prospectus before buying our shares. Risks include, but are not limited to:

  • We have incurred GAAP net losses attributable to stockholders and an accumulated deficit in the past and may incur GAAP net losses attributable to stockholders and continue to have an accumulated deficit in the future.
  • This is a “blind pool” offering. You will not have the opportunity to evaluate our future investments before we make them.
  • Since there is no public trading market for shares of our common stock, repurchase of shares by us will likely be the only way to dispose of your shares. Our share repurchase plan provides stockholders with the opportunity to request that we repurchase their shares on a monthly basis, but we are not obligated to repurchase any shares and may choose to repurchase only some, or even none, of the shares that have been requested to be repurchased in any particular month in our discretion. In addition, repurchases are subject to available liquidity and other significant restrictions. Further, our board of directors may modify or suspend our share repurchase plan if it deems such action to be in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders. As a result, our shares should be considered as having only limited liquidity and at times may be illiquid.
  • We cannot guarantee that we will make distributions, and if we do we may fund such distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, including, without limitation, the sale of assets, borrowings, return of capital or offering proceeds, and we have no limits on the amounts we may pay from such sources.
  • The purchase and repurchase price for shares of our common stock are generally based on our prior month’s NAV (subject to material changes as described in the prospectus) and are not based on any public trading market. While there are independent annual appraisals of our properties, the appraisal of properties is inherently subjective, and our NAV may not accurately reflect the actual price at which our properties could be liquidated on any given day.
  • We have no employees and are dependent on Starwood REIT Advisors, L.L.C. (the “Advisor”) to conduct our operations. The Advisor will face conflicts of interest as a result of, among other things, the allocation of investment opportunities among us and Other Starwood Accounts (as defined in the prospectus), the allocation of time of its investment professionals and the substantial fees that we will pay to the Advisor.
  • This is a “best efforts” offering. If we are not able to continue to raise a substantial amount of capital on an ongoing basis, our ability to achieve our investment objectives could be adversely affected.
  • There are limits on the ownership and transferability of our shares.
  • If we fail to qualify as a REIT and no relief provisions apply, our NAV and cash available for distribution to our stockholders could materially decrease.
  • The acquisition of properties may be financed in substantial part by debt. The use of leverage involves a high degree of financial risk and will increase the exposure of the investments to adverse economic factors.
  • Investing in commercial real estate assets involves certain risks, including, but not limited to: changes in values caused by global, national, regional or local economic performance, the performance of the real estate sector, unemployment, stock market volatility and other impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, demographic or capital market conditions; increases in interest rates and lack of availability of financing; vacancies, fluctuations in the average occupancy and room rates for hospitality properties; and bankruptcies, financial difficulties or lease defaults by our tenants.
  • A change in U.S. tax laws could adversely impact benefits of investing in our shares.
