| Organization | 1. Organization STORE Capital Corporation (“STORE Capital” or “the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of Maryland on May 17, 2011 to acquire single-tenant operational real estate to be leased on a long-term, net basis to companies that operate across a wide variety of industries within the service, service-oriented retail and manufacturing sectors of the United States economy. From time to time, it also provides mortgage financing to its customers. On November 21, 2014, the Company completed the initial public offering (“IPO”) of its common stock. The shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on November 18, 2014 under the ticker symbol “STOR”. STORE Capital made an election to qualify, and believes it operated through the closing of the Merger (as defined below) in a manner to continue to qualify, as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes beginning with its initial taxable year ended December 31, 2011. A REIT is generally not subject to federal income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income to its members and meets other specific requirements. The Merger On September 15, 2022, STORE Capital Corporation, a Maryland corporation, Ivory Parent, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”) and Ivory REIT, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub” and, together with Parent, the “Parent Parties”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). The Parent Parties are affiliates of GIC, a global institutional investor, and Oak Street Real Estate Capital, a division of Blue Owl Capital, Inc. On February 3, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, STORE Capital Corporation merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”) with Merger Sub surviving (the “Surviving Entity”), and the separate existence of STORE Capital Corporation ceased. Immediately following the completion of the Merger, the Surviving Entity changed its name to STORE Capital LLC. References herein to the “Company” or to “STORE Capital” are references to STORE Capital Corporation prior to the Merger and to STORE Capital LLC upon and following the Merger. As of the Closing Date of the Merger, the common equity of the Company is no longer publicly traded. See Note 10 for a description of events occurring subsequent to December 31, 2022 in connection with the completion of the Merger. |

| Summary of Significant Accounting Principles | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Principles Basis of Accounting and Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These consolidated statements include the accounts of STORE Capital and its subsidiaries which are wholly owned and controlled by the Company through its voting interest. One of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, STORE Capital Advisors, LLC, provides all of the general and administrative services for the day-to-day operations of the consolidated group, including property acquisition and lease origination, real estate portfolio management and marketing, accounting and treasury services. The remaining subsidiaries were formed to acquire and hold real estate investments or to facilitate non-recourse secured borrowing activities. Generally, the initial operations of the real estate subsidiaries are funded by an interest-bearing intercompany loan from STORE Capital, and such intercompany loan is repaid when the subsidiary issues long-term debt secured by its properties. All intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain of the Company’s wholly owned consolidated subsidiaries were formed as special purpose entities. Each special purpose entity is a separate legal entity and is the sole owner of its assets and liabilities. The assets of the special purpose entities are not available to pay or otherwise satisfy obligations to the creditors of any owner or affiliate of the special purpose entity. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, these special purpose entities held assets totaling $9.5 billion and $8.5 billion, respectively, and had third-party liabilities totaling $2.4 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively. These assets and liabilities are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management believes its estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates. Segment Reporting The Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting, established standards for the manner in which enterprises report information about operating segments. The Company views its operations as one reportable segment. Investment Portfolio STORE Capital invests in real estate assets through three primary transaction types as summarized below. At the beginning of 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASC Topic 842”) which had an impact on certain accounting related to the Company’s investment portfolio.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic During the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic beginning in early 2020, the Company provided to certain tenants rent deferral arrangements in the form of both short-term notes and lease modifications. The FASB provided accounting relief under which concessions provided to tenants in direct response to the COVID-19 pandemic are not required to be evaluated or accounted for as lease modifications in accordance with ASC Topic 842. The Company elected to apply this accounting relief to the rent deferral arrangements it has entered into with its tenants, which primarily affected the timing (but not the amount) of lease and loan payments due to the Company under its contracts. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $1.5 million, $8.3 million and $57.1 million of net revenue associated with these deferral arrangements with a corresponding increase in receivables that are included in other assets, net on the consolidated balance sheet. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company collected $14.5 million, $33.4 million and $9.9 million of the receivables related to these deferral arrangements. Accounting for Real Estate Investments Classification and Cost STORE Capital records the acquisition of real estate properties at cost, including acquisition and closing costs. The Company allocates the cost of real estate properties to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated relative fair values. Intangible assets and liabilities acquired may include the value of existing in-place leases, above-market or below-market lease value of in-place leases and ground lease-related intangibles, as applicable. Management uses multiple sources to estimate fair value, including independent appraisals and information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence and its marketing and leasing activities. Certain of the Company’s lease contracts allow its tenants the option, at their election, to purchase the leased property from the Company at a specified time or times (generally at the greater of the then-fair market value or the Company’s cost, as defined in the lease contracts). Subsequent to the adoption of ASC Topic 842, for real estate assets acquired through a sale-leaseback transaction and subject to a lease contract which contains a purchase option, the Company accounts for such an acquisition as a financing arrangement and records the investment in loans and financing receivables on the consolidated balance sheet; should the purchase option later expire or be removed from the lease contract, the Company would derecognize the asset accounted for as a financing arrangement and recognize the transferred leased asset in real estate investments. In-place lease intangibles are valued based on management’s estimates of lost rent and carrying costs during the time it would take to locate a tenant if the property were vacant, considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating lost rent and carrying costs, management considers market rents, real estate taxes, insurance, costs to execute similar leases (including leasing commissions) and other related costs. The value assigned to in-place leases is amortized on a straight-line basis as a component of depreciation and amortization expense typically over the remaining term of the related leases. The fair value of any above-market or below-market lease is estimated based on the present value of the difference between the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place lease and management’s estimate of current market lease rates for the property, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease. Capitalized above-market lease intangibles are amortized over the remaining term of the respective leases as a decrease to rental revenue. Below-market lease intangibles are amortized as an increase in rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases plus the fixed-rate renewal periods on those leases, if any. Should a lease terminate early, the unamortized portion of any related lease intangible is immediately recognized in operations. The Company’s real estate portfolio is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated remaining useful life of the properties, which generally ranges from to 40 years for buildings and is generally 15 years for land improvements. Properties classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying value or their fair value, less anticipated selling costs. Any properties classified as held for sale are not depreciated. Revenue Recognition STORE Capital leases real estate to its tenants under long-term net leases that are predominantly classified as operating leases. The Company’s leases generally provide for rent escalations throughout the lease terms. For leases that provide for specific contractual escalations, rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis so as to produce a constant periodic rent over the term of the lease. Accordingly, straight-line operating lease receivables, calculated as the aggregate difference between the rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis and scheduled rents, represent unbilled rent receivables that the Company will receive only if the tenants make all rent payments required through the expiration of the leases; these receivables are included in other assets, net on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company reviews its straight-line operating lease receivables for collectibility on a contract by contract basis and any amounts not considered substantially collectible are written off against rental revenues. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had $46.9 million and $39.4 million, respectively, of straight-line operating lease receivables. Leases that have contingent rent escalators indexed to future increases in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) may adjust over a one-year period or over multiple-year periods. Generally, these escalators increase rent at (a) 1 to 1.25 times the increase in the CPI over a specified period or (b) a fixed percentage. Because of the volatility and uncertainty with respect to future changes in the CPI, the Company’s inability to determine the extent to which any specific future change in the CPI is probable at each rent adjustment date during the entire term of these leases and the Company’s view that the multiplier does not represent a significant leverage factor, increases in rental revenue from leases with this type of escalator are recognized only after the changes in the rental rates have actually occurred. In addition to base rental revenue, certain leases also have contingent rentals that are based on a percentage of the tenant’s gross sales; the Company recognizes contingent rental revenue when the threshold upon which the contingent lease payment is based is actually reached. Approximately 3.2% of the Company’s investment portfolio is subject to leases that provide for contingent rent based on a percentage of the tenant’s gross sales; historically, contingent rent recognized has been less than 2.0% of rental revenues. The Company reviews its operating lease receivables for collectibility on a regular basis, taking into consideration changes in factors such as the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area where the property is located. In the event that the collectibility of lease payments with respect to any tenant is not probable, a direct write-off of the receivable is made and any future rental revenue is recognized only when the tenant makes a rental payment or when collectibility is again deemed probable. Direct costs incremental to successful lease origination, offset by any lease origination fees received, are deferred and amortized over the related lease term as an adjustment to rental revenue. The Company periodically commits to fund the construction of new properties for its customers; rental revenue collected during the construction period is deferred and amortized over the remaining lease term when the construction project is complete. Substantially all of the Company’s leases are triple net, which means that the lessees are directly responsible for the payment of all property operating expenses, including property taxes, maintenance and insurance. For a few lease contracts, the Company collects property taxes from its customers and remits those taxes to governmental authorities. Subsequent to the adoption of ASC Topic 842, these property tax payments are presented on a gross basis as part of both rental revenues and property costs in the consolidated statements of income. Impairment STORE Capital reviews its real estate investments and related lease intangibles periodically for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through operations. Such events or changes in circumstances may include an expectation to sell certain assets in accordance with the Company’s long-term strategic plans. Management considers factors such as expected future undiscounted cash flows, capitalization and discount rates, terminal value, tenant improvements, market trends (such as the effects of leasing demand and competition) and other factors including bona fide purchase offers received from third parties in making this assessment. These factors are classified as Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy, discussed in Fair Value Measurement below. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the impairment is calculated as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value. Estimating future cash flows is highly subjective and such estimates could differ materially from actual results. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized an aggregate provision for impairment of real estate of $16.0 million. For the assets impaired in 2022, the estimated fair value of the impaired real estate assets at the time of impairment aggregated $65.3 million. The Company recognized aggregate provisions for the impairment of real estate of $21.8 million and $22.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Accounting for Loans and Financing Receivables Loans Receivable – Classification, Cost and Revenue Recognition STORE Capital holds its loans receivable, which are primarily mortgage loans secured by real estate, for long-term investment. Loans receivable are carried at amortized cost, including related unamortized discounts or premiums, if any. The Company recognizes interest income on loans receivable using the effective-interest method applied on a loan-by-loan basis. Direct costs associated with originating loans are offset against any related fees received and the balance, along with any premium or discount, is deferred and amortized as an adjustment to interest income over the term of the related loan receivable using the effective interest method. A loan receivable is placed on nonaccrual status when the loan has become more than 60 days past due, or earlier if management determines that full recovery of the contractually specified payments of principal and interest is doubtful. While on nonaccrual status, interest income is recognized only when received. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had loans receivable with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $31.8 million and $28.8 million, respectively, on nonaccrual status. Direct Financing Receivables – Classification, Cost and Revenue Recognition Direct financing receivables include hybrid real estate investment transactions completed prior to 2019. The Company recorded the direct financing receivables at their net investment, determined as the aggregate minimum lease payments and the estimated residual value of the leased property less unearned income. The unearned income is recognized over the life of the related contracts so as to produce a constant rate of return on the net investment in the asset. Subsequent to the adoption of ASC Topic 842, existing direct financing receivables will continue to be accounted for in the same manner, unless the underlying contracts are modified. Impairment and Provision for Credit Losses The Company accounts for provisions of credit losses in accordance with ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (“Topic 326”): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC Topic 326”). In accordance with ASC Topic 326, the Company evaluates the collectibility of its loans and financing receivables at the time each financing receivable is issued and subsequently on a quarterly basis utilizing an expected credit loss model based on credit quality indicators. The primary credit quality indicator is the implied credit rating associated with each borrower, utilizing two categories, investment grade and non-investment grade. The Company computes implied credit ratings based on regularly received borrower financial statements using Moody’s Analytics RiskCalc. The Company considers the implied credit ratings, loan and financing receivable term to maturity and underlying collateral value and quality, if any, to calculate the expected credit loss over the remaining life of the receivable. Loans are written off against the allowance for credit loss when all or a portion of the principal amount is determined to be uncollectible. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized an estimated $0.4 million, $3.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of provisions for credit losses related to its loans and financing receivables; the provision for credit losses is included in provisions for impairment on the consolidated statements of income. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company wrote off $3.7 million of loans receivable against previously established reserves for credit losses. The Company did not write off any loans during the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Accounting for Operating Ground Lease Assets As part of certain real estate investment transactions, the Company may enter into long-term operating ground leases as a lessee. The Company is required to recognize an operating ground lease (or right-of-use) asset and related operating lease liability for each of these operating ground leases. Operating ground lease assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the lease payments. The Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate, which is the estimated rate at which the Company could borrow on a collateralized basis with similar payments over a similar term, in determining the present value of the lease payments. Many of these operating lease contracts include options for the Company to extend the lease; the option periods are included in the minimum lease term only if it is reasonably likely the Company will exercise the option(s). Rental expense for the operating ground lease contracts is recognized in property costs on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Some of the contracts have contingent rent escalators indexed to future increases in the CPI and a few contracts have contingent rentals that are based on a percentage of the gross sales of the property; these payments are recognized in expense as incurred. The payment obligations under these contracts are typically the responsibility of the tenants operating on the properties, in accordance with the Company’s leases with the respective tenants. As a result, the Company also recognizes sublease rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the Company’s sublease with the tenant; the sublease income is included in rental revenues. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investment securities with maturities at acquisition of three months or less. The Company invests cash primarily in money-market funds of a major financial institution, consisting predominantly of U.S. Government obligations. Restricted Cash Restricted cash may include reserve account deposits held by lenders, including deposits required to be used for future investment in real estate assets, escrow deposits and cash proceeds from the sale of assets held by a qualified intermediary to facilitate tax-deferred exchange transactions under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company had $4.7 million and $5.8 million of restricted cash at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which are included in other assets, net, on the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred Costs Financing costs related to the issuance of the Company’s long-term debt are deferred and amortized as an increase to interest expense over the term of the related debt instrument using the effective-interest method and are reported as a reduction of the related debt balance on the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred financing costs related to the establishment of the Company's credit facility are deferred and amortized to interest expense over the term of the credit facility and are included in other assets, net, on the consolidated balance sheets. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities The Company may enter into derivative contracts as part of its overall financing strategy to manage the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates associated with current and/or future debt issuances. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The use of derivative financial instruments carries certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements are not able to perform under the agreements. To mitigate this risk, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments only with counterparties with high credit ratings and with major financial institutions with which the Company may also have other financial relationships. The Company does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations. The Company records its derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. All derivatives subject to a master netting arrangement in accordance with the associated master International Swap and Derivatives Association agreement have been presented on a net basis by counterparty portfolio for purposes of balance sheet presentation and related disclosures. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to cash flow hedges are reclassified to operations as an adjustment to interest expense as interest payments are made on the hedged debt transaction. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had seven interest rate swap agreements in place. One of the interest rate swap agreements has a notional amount of $200.0 million and was designated as a cash flow hedge of the Company's $200.0 million floating-rate bank term loan due in April 2029. The remaining six interest rate swap agreements have an aggregate notional amount of $400.0 million and were designated as cash flow hedges of the Company's $400.0 million floating-rate bank term loan due in April 2027 (Note 4). As of December 31, 2021, the Company had no derivative instruments in place. Fair Value Measurement The Company estimates the fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities based on the framework established in fair value accounting guidance. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The hierarchy described below prioritizes inputs to the valuation techniques used in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This hierarchy maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring the most observable inputs to be used when available. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:
Share-based Compensation Directors and employees of the Company have historically been granted long-term incentive awards, including restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and restricted stock unit awards (“RSUs’), which provided such directors and employees with equity interests as an incentive to remain in the Company’s service and to align their interests with those of the Company’s stockholders. The Company estimates the fair value of RSAs based on the closing price per share of the common stock on the date of grant and recognizes that amount in general and administrative expense ratably over the vesting period at the greater of the amount amortized on a straight-line basis or the amount vested. The Company’s RSUs granted 2019 through 2022 contain both a market condition and a performance condition as well as a service condition. The Company values the RSUs with a market condition using a Monte Carlo simulation model and values the RSUs with a performance condition based on the fair value of the awards expected to be earned and recognizes those amounts in general and administrative expense on a tranche-by-tranche basis ratably over the vesting periods. Income Taxes As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax. It is still subject, however, to state and local income taxes and to federal income and excise tax on its undistributed income. STORE Investment Corporation is the Company’s wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) created to engage in non-qualifying REIT activities. The TRS is subject to federal, state and local income taxes. Net Income Per Common Share Net income per common share has been computed pursuant to the guidance in the FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. The guidance requires the classification of the Company’s unvested restricted common shares, which contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends, as participating securities requiring the two-class method of computing net income per common share. The following table is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share (dollars in thousands):
Recent Accounting Pronouncements From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or the SEC. The Company adopts the new pronouncements as of the specified effective date. When permitted, the Company may elect to early adopt the new pronouncements. Unless otherwise discussed, these new accounting pronouncements include technical corrections to existing guidance or introduce new guidance related to specialized industries or entities and, therefore, will have minimal, if any, impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which amended the sunset date of the guidance in Topic 848 to December 31, 2024 from December 31, 2022. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur. |

As of December 31, 2022, approximately 32% of these investments are assets of consolidated special purpose entity subsidiaries and are pledged as collateral under the non-recourse obligations of these special purpose entities (Note 4). The gross dollar amount of the Company’s investments includes the investment in land, buildings, improvements and lease intangibles related to real estate investments as well as the carrying amount of the loans and financing receivables and operating ground lease assets.

The following table summarizes the revenues the Company recognized from its investment portfolio (in thousands):
The Company has elected to account for the lease and nonlease components in its lease contracts as a single component if the timing and pattern of transfer for the separate components are the same and, if accounted for separately, the lease component would classify as an operating lease. Significant Credit and Revenue Concentration STORE Capital’s real estate investments are leased or financed to 587 customers who operate their businesses across 126 industries geographically dispersed throughout 49 states. The primary sectors of the U.S. economy and their proportionate dollar amount of STORE Capital’s investment portfolio at December 31, 2022 are service at 62%, service-oriented retail at 16% and manufacturing at 22%.

Real Estate Investments The weighted average remaining noncancelable lease term of the Company’s operating leases with its tenants at December 31, 2022 was approximately 13.1 years. Substantially all the leases are triple net, which means that the lessees are responsible for the payment of all property operating expenses, including property taxes, maintenance and insurance; therefore, the Company is generally not responsible for repairs or other capital expenditures related to the properties while the triple-net leases are in effect. At December 31, 2022, 16 of the Company’s properties were vacant and not subject to a lease. Scheduled future minimum rentals to be received under the remaining noncancelable term of the operating leases in place as of December 31, 2022 are as follows (in thousands):
Substantially all the Company’s leases include one or more renewal options (generally two to four five-year options). Since lease renewal periods are exercisable at the option of the lessee, the preceding table presents future minimum lease payments due during the initial lease term only. In addition, the future minimum lease payments presented above do not include any contingent rentals such as lease escalations based on future changes in CPI. Intangible Lease Assets The following details intangible lease assets and related accumulated amortization at December 31 (in thousands):

The amount amortized as a decrease to rental revenue for capitalized above-market lease intangibles was $0.2 million and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Based on the balance of the intangible assets as of December 31, 2022, the aggregate amortization expense is expected to be $3.5 million in 2023, $3.0 million in 2024, $2.5 million in 2025, $2.3 million in 2026 and $2.2 million in 2027. The weighted average remaining amortization period is approximately 10 years for the in-place lease intangibles, and approximately 42 years for the amortizing ground lease-related intangibles. Operating Ground Lease Assets As of December 31, 2022, STORE Capital had operating ground lease assets aggregating $31.9 million. Typically, the lease payment obligations for these leases are the responsibility of the tenants operating on the properties, in accordance with the Company’s leases with those respective tenants.

The weighted average remaining non-cancelable lease term for the ground leases was 22 years at December 31, 2022. The weighted average discount rate used in calculating the operating lease liabilities was 5.7%.

Loans and Financing Receivables The Company’s loans and financing receivables are summarized below (dollars in thousands):
Loans Receivable At December 31, 2022, the Company held 38 loans receivable with an aggregate carrying amount of $358.3 million. Twenty-three of the loans are mortgage loans secured by land and/or buildings and improvements on the mortgaged property; the interest rates on 11 of the mortgage loans are subject to increases over the term of the loans. Four of the mortgage loans are shorter-term loans (maturing prior to 2027) that generally require monthly interest-only payments with a balloon payment at maturity. The remaining mortgage loans receivable generally require the borrowers to make monthly principal and interest payments based on a 40-year amortization period with balloon payments, if any, at maturity or earlier upon the occurrence of certain other events. The equipment and other loans generally require the borrower to make monthly payments with a balloon payment at maturity. The long-term mortgage loans receivable generally allow for prepayments in whole, but not in part, without penalty or with penalties ranging from 1% to 20%, depending on the timing of the prepayment, except as noted in the table above. All other loans receivable allow for prepayments in whole or in part without penalty. Absent prepayments, scheduled maturities are expected to be as follows (in thousands):

Provision for Credit Losses In accordance with ASC Topic 326, the Company evaluates the collectibility of its loans and financing receivables at the time each financing receivable is issued and subsequently on a quarterly basis utilizing an expected credit loss model based on credit quality indicators. The Company groups individual loans and financing receivables based on the implied credit rating associated with each borrower. Based on credit quality indicators as of December 31, 2022, $171.8 million of loans and financing receivables were categorized as investment grade and $620.2 million were categorized as non-investment grade. During the year ended December 31, 2022, there were $0.4 million of provisions for credit losses recognized, $3.7 million of write-offs charged against the allowance and no recoveries of amounts previously written off.

| Debt | 4. Debt Credit Facility As of December 31, 2022, the Company had an unsecured revolving credit facility with a group of lenders that was used to partially fund real estate acquisitions pending the issuance of long-term, fixed-rate debt. The credit facility had immediate availability of $600.0 million and an accordion feature of $1.0 billion, which allowed the size of the facility to be increased up to $1.6 billion. At December 31, 2022, the Company had $555.0 million of borrowings outstanding on the facility. Borrowings under the facility required monthly payments of interest at a rate selected by the Company of either (1) LIBOR plus a credit spread ranging from 0.70% to 1.40%, or (2) the Base Rate, as defined in the credit agreement, plus a credit spread ranging from 0.00% to 0.40%. The credit spread used was based on the Company’s credit rating as defined in the credit agreement. The Company was required to pay a facility fee on the total commitment amount ranging from 0.10% to 0.30%. As of December 31, 2022, the applicable credit spread for LIBOR-based borrowings is 0.85% and the facility fee was 0.20%. Under the terms of the facility, the Company is subject to various restrictive financial and nonfinancial covenants which, among other things, require the Company to maintain certain leverage ratios, cash flow and debt service coverage ratios and secured borrowing ratios. Certain of these ratios are based on the Company’s pool of unencumbered assets, which aggregated approximately $8.2 billion at December 31, 2022. The facility is recourse to the Company and, as of December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the facility. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, unamortized financing costs related to the Company’s credit facility totaled $2.6 million and $3.7 million, respectively, and are included in other assets, net, on the consolidated balance sheets. Unsecured Notes and Term Loans Payable, net The Company has completed four public offerings of ten-year unsecured notes (“Public Notes”). In March 2018, February 2019 and November 2020, the Company completed public offerings of $350.0 million each in aggregate principal amount. In November 2021, the Company completed a public offering of $375.0 million in aggregate principal amount. The Public Notes have coupon rates of 4.50%, 4.625%, 2.75%, and 2.70%, respectively, and interest is payable semi-annually in arrears in March and September of each year for the 2018 and 2019 Public Notes, May and November of each year for the 2020 Public Notes, and June and December of each year for the 2021 Public Notes. The notes were issued at 99.515%, 99.260%, 99.558%, and 99.877%, respectively, of their principal amounts. The supplemental indentures governing the Public Notes contain various restrictive covenants, including limitations on the Company’s ability to incur additional secured and unsecured indebtedness. As of December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. The Public Notes can be redeemed, in whole or in part, at par within three months of their maturity date or at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest and (ii) the make-whole premium, as defined in the supplemental indentures governing these notes. In April 2022, the Company entered into a term loan agreement under which the Company borrowed an aggregate $600.0 million of floating-rate, unsecured term loans; the loans consisted of a $400.0 million five-year loan and a $200.0 million seven-year loan (the “Term Loans”). The interest rate on each of the Term Loans reset daily at Daily Simple SOFR plus an adjustment of 0.10% plus a credit rating-based credit spread ranging from 0.75% to 1.60% on the five-year loan and 1.25% to 2.20% on the seven-year loan. As of December 31, 2022, the credit spread applicable to the Company was 0.95% for the five-year loan and 1.25% for the seven-year loan. The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements that effectively convert the floating rates on the Term Loans to a weighted average fixed rate of 3.68%. The Term Loans were arranged with a group of lenders that also participated in the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility. The financial covenants of the Term Loans matched the covenants of the unsecured revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. The Term Loans were senior unsecured obligations of the Company which require monthly interest payments and may be prepaid at any time; the seven-year loan had a prepayment premium of 2% if repaid in year one and 1% if repaid in year two. In December 2022, the Company entered into a term loan agreement with an initial commitment of $100.0 million of unsecured, floating-rate, short-term term borrowings (the “December 2022 Term Loan”). The December 2022 Term Loan matured at the earlier of March 31, 2023 or the consummation of the Merger and the interest rate reset daily at Daily Simple SOFR plus an adjustment of 0.10% plus a credit rating-based credit spread ranging from 0.75% to 1.60%. The credit spread applicable to the Company as of December 31, 2022 was 0.95%. The term loan agreement included an incremental borrowing feature that allows the Company to request up to an additional $100.0 million of term borrowings after December 31, 2022. The December 2022 Term Loan was arranged with a lender that also participated in the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility. The financial covenants of the December 2022 Term Loan matched the covenants of the unsecured revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. The December 2022 Term Loan was a senior unsecured obligation of the Company and required monthly interest payments. As of December 31, 2022 the Company had borrowings of $90.0 million bearing an interest rate of 5.35%. The Company has entered into Note Purchase Agreements (“NPAs”) with institutional purchasers that provided for the private placement of three series of senior unsecured notes aggregating $375 million (the “Notes”). Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears in May and November of each year. On each interest payment date, the interest rate on each series of Notes may be increased by 1.0% should the Company’s Applicable Credit Rating (as defined in the NPAs) fail to be an investment-grade credit rating; the increased interest rate would remain in effect until the next interest payment date on which the Company obtains an investment grade credit rating. The Company may prepay at any time all, or any part, of any series of Notes, in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the series then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid plus a Make-Whole Amount (as defined in the NPAs). The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. In November 2022, the Company repaid its $75.0 million Series A senior unsecured notes at maturity which bore an interest rate of 4.95%. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $300.0 million of senior unsecured notes outstanding. The NPAs contain a number of financial covenants that are similar to the Company’s unsecured credit facility as summarized above. Subject to the terms of the NPAs and the Notes, upon certain events of default, including, but not limited to, (i) a payment default under the Notes, and (ii) a default in the payment of certain other indebtedness by the Company or its subsidiaries, all amounts outstanding under the Notes will become due and payable at the option of the purchasers. As of December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with its covenants under the NPAs. The Company’s senior unsecured notes and term loans payable are summarized below (dollars in thousands):
Non-recourse Debt Obligations of Consolidated Special Purpose Entities, net During 2012, the Company implemented its STORE Master Funding debt program pursuant to which certain of its consolidated special purpose entities issue multiple series of non-recourse net-lease mortgage notes from time to time that are collateralized by the assets and related leases (collateral) owned by these entities. One of the principal features of the program is that, as additional series of notes are issued, new collateral is contributed to the collateral pool, thereby increasing the size and diversity of the collateral pool for the benefit of all noteholders, including those who invested in prior series. Another feature of the program is the ability to substitute collateral from time to time subject to meeting certain prescribed conditions and criteria. The notes issued under this program are generally segregated into Class A amortizing notes and Class B non-amortizing notes. The Company has retained the Class B notes which aggregate $190.0 million at December 31, 2022. The Class A notes require monthly principal and interest payments with a balloon payment due at maturity and these notes may be prepaid at any time, subject to a yield maintenance prepayment premium if prepaid more than 24 or 36 months prior to maturity. As of December 31, 2022, the aggregate collateral pool securing the net-lease mortgage notes was comprised primarily of single-tenant commercial real estate properties with an aggregate investment amount of approximately $3.6 billion. In connection with obtaining the Term Loans in April 2022, the Company prepaid, without penalty, $134.5 million of STORE Master Funding Series 2014-1, Class A-2 notes, which bore an interest rate of 5.0% and were scheduled to mature in 2024; and the Company recognized $0.8 million of accelerated amortization of deferred financing costs associated with the prepayment. A number of additional consolidated special purpose entity subsidiaries of the Company have financed their real estate properties with traditional first mortgage debt. The notes generally require monthly principal and interest payments with balloon payments due at maturity. In general, these mortgage notes payable can be prepaid in whole or in part upon payment of a yield maintenance premium. The mortgage notes payable are collateralized by real estate properties owned by these consolidated special purpose entity subsidiaries with an aggregate investment amount of approximately $250.7 million at December 31, 2022. The mortgage notes payable, which are obligations of the consolidated special purpose entities described in Note 2, contain various covenants customarily found in mortgage notes, including a limitation on the issuing entity’s ability to incur additional indebtedness on the underlying real estate. Although this mortgage debt generally is non-recourse, there are customary limited exceptions to recourse for matters such as fraud, misrepresentation, gross negligence or willful misconduct, misapplication of payments, bankruptcy and environmental liabilities. Certain of the mortgage notes payable also require the posting of cash reserves with the lender or trustee if specified coverage ratios are not maintained by the Company or one of its tenants. The Company’s non-recourse debt obligations of consolidated special purpose entity subsidiaries are summarized below (dollars in thousands):
Credit Risk Related Contingent Features The Company has agreements with derivative counterparties, which provide generally that the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if the Company defaults on the underlying indebtedness. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had no interest rate swaps that were in a liability position.

| Income Taxes | 5. Income Taxes The Company’s total current income tax expense (benefit) was as follows (in thousands):
The Company’s deferred income tax expense and its ending balance in deferred tax assets and liabilities were immaterial for 2022, 2021 and 2020. The Company files federal, state and local income tax returns. Certain state income tax returns filed for 2018 and tax returns filed for 2019 through 2022 remain subject to examination. Prior to the Merger, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward (“NOL”) for income tax purposes of $1.5 million that was generated during the year ended December 31, 2011 and, therefore, has no impact on income tax expense for the three years ended December 31, 2022. This loss is no longer available following the Merger. Management of the Company determines whether any tax positions taken or expected to be taken meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by the applicable federal, state or local tax authority. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, management concluded that there is no tax liability relating to uncertain income tax positions. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest related to any underpayment of income taxes as interest expense and to recognize any penalties as operating expenses. There was no accrual for interest or penalties at December 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company’s common stock distributions were characterized for federal income tax purposes as follows (per share):

| Long-Term Incentive Plans | 7. Long-Term Incentive Plans In November 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the adoption of the STORE Capital Corporation 2015 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), which permits the issuance of up to 6,903,076 shares of common stock, which represented 6% of the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock upon the completion of the IPO. As of December 31, 2022, 2,507,375 shares are available for grant under the 2015 Plan. In 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors established the STORE Capital Corporation 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”) which permits the issuance of up to 1,035,400 shares of common stock. During 2022, the plan expired and as of December 31, 2022, no shares remain available for grant under the 2012 Plan. Both the 2015 and 2012 Plans allow for awards to officers, directors and employees of the Company in the form of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock and other equity-based awards including performance-based grants. The following table summarizes the restricted stock award (“RSA”) activity:
The Company grants RSAs to its officers, directors and employees. Generally, restricted shares granted to the Company’s employees vest in 25% increments in February or May of each year. The independent directors receive annual grants that vest at the end of each term served. As permitted, the Company does not estimate a forfeiture rate for non-vested shares. Accordingly, unexpected forfeitures will lower share-based compensation expense during the applicable period. Under the terms of the 2015 and 2012 Plans, the Company pays non-refundable dividends to the holders of non-vested shares. Applicable accounting guidance requires that the dividends paid to holders of these non-vested shares be charged as compensation expense to the extent that they relate to non-vested shares that do not or are not expected to vest. The Company estimates the fair value of RSAs at the date of grant and recognizes that amount in expense over the vesting period as the greater of the amount amortized on a straight-line basis or the amount vested. The fair value of the RSAs is based on the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. The Company has granted restricted stock unit awards (“RSUs”) with (a) both a market and a performance condition or (b) a market condition to its executive officers; these awards also contain a service condition. The number of common shares to be earned from each grant range from zero to 100% of the total RSUs granted over a three-year performance period. The following table summarizes the RSU activity:
For the 2021 and 2022 grants, 75% of the common shares to be earned is based on the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) measured against a market index and 25% of shares to be earned is based on the growth in a key Company performance indicator over a three-year period. For the 2018 through 2020 grants, -half of the common shares to be earned is based on the Company’s TSR measured against a market index and -half of the number of shares to be earned is based on the growth in a key Company performance indicator over a three-year period. The 2018 through 2022 awards vest 100% at the end of the three-year performance period to the extent market, performance and service conditions are met. The RSUs accrue dividend equivalents which are paid only if the award vests. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company accrued dividend equivalents expected to be paid on earned awards of $0.9 million, $1.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively; during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company paid $1.3 million, $2.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of these accrued dividend equivalents to its executive officers. The Company valued the RSUs with a performance condition based on the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant multiplied by the number of awards expected to be earned. The Company valued the RSUs with a market condition using a Monte Carlo simulation model on the date of grant which resulted in grant date fair values of $6.7 million, $7.8 million and $5.4 million for the 2022, 2021 and 2020 and, respectively. The estimated fair value is amortized to expense on a tranche-by-tranche basis ratably over the vesting periods. The following assumptions were used in the Monte Carlo simulation for computing the grant date fair value of the RSUs with a market condition for each grant year:
The 2015 and 2012 Plans each allow the Company’s employees to elect to satisfy the minimum statutory tax withholding obligation due upon vesting of RSAs and RSUs by allowing the Company to repurchase an amount of shares otherwise deliverable on the vesting date having a fair market value equal to the withholding obligation. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company repurchased an aggregate 202,796 shares, 288,132 shares and 139,131 shares, respectively, in connection with this tax withholding obligation. Compensation expense for equity-based payments totaled $12.4 million, $32.2 million, and $4.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expenses. At December 31, 2022, STORE Capital had $17.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested equity-based compensation arrangements which was to be recognized through February 2024. |

| Commitments and Contingencies | |
| Commitments and Contingencies | 8. Commitments and Contingencies The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Management believes that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. In connection with the Merger, six lawsuits were filed by purported stockholders against the Company and previous members of the Company Board. The complaints generally alleged, among other things, that the preliminary proxy statement filed by the Company in connection with the Merger failed to disclose allegedly material information in violation of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 14a-9 thereunder. Plaintiffs in each pending lawsuit sought, among other things, an injunction barring the Merger or, in the alternative, rescission of the Merger to the extent it was already implemented, and an award of damages. Prior to the Closing Date of the Merger, all six lawsuits were dismissed. In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various types of commitments to purchase real estate properties. These commitments are generally subject to the Company’s customary due diligence process and, accordingly, a number of specific conditions must be met before the Company is obligated to purchase the properties. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had commitments to its customers to fund improvements to owned or mortgaged real estate properties totaling approximately $150.8 million, of which $129.1 million is expected to be funded in the next twelve months. These additional investments will generally result in increases to the rental revenue or interest income due under the related contracts. The Company has entered into lease agreements with an unrelated third party for its corporate office space that will expire in July 2027 and July 2029; the leases each allow for one five-year renewal period at the option of the Company. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, total rent expense was $829,000, $735,000, and $737,000, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of income. At December 31, 2022, the Company’s future minimum rental commitment under this noncancelable operating lease, excluding the renewal option period, was approximately $977,000 in 2023, $994,000 in 2024, $1.0 million in 2025, $1.0 million in 2026, $701,000 in 2027, and $292,000 thereafter. Upon adoption of ASC Topic 842, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset and lease liability related to this lease; at December 31, 2022, the balance of the right-of-use asset was $3.9 million, which is included in other assets, net on the consolidated balance sheet, and the balance of the related lease liability was $4.4 million. The Company has employment agreements with each of its executive officers that provide for minimum annual base salaries, and annual cash and equity incentive compensation based on the satisfactory achievement of reasonable performance criteria and objectives to be adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors each year. In the event an executive officer’s employment terminates under certain circumstances, the Company would be liable for cash severance, continuation of healthcare benefits and, in some instances, accelerated vesting of equity awards that he or she has been awarded as part of the Company’s incentive compensation program. The Company has a defined contribution retirement savings plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the 401(k) Plan). The 401(k) Plan is available to employees who have completed 30 days of service with the Company. STORE Capital provides a matching contribution in cash, up to a maximum of 4% of compensation, which vests immediately. The matching contributions made by the Company totaled approximately $614,000 in 2022, $603,000 in 2021, and $515,000 in 2020. |

| Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |
| Fair Value of Financial Instruments | 9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s derivatives are required to be measured at fair value in the Company’s consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. Derivatives are measured under a market approach, using prices obtained from a nationally recognized pricing service and pricing models with market observable inputs such as interest rates and equity index levels. These measurements are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The aggregate fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments was an asset of $31.4 million at December 31, 2022; the Company had no derivatives outstanding at December 31, 2021. Derivative assets are included in other assets, net on the consolidated balance sheets. In addition to the disclosures for assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value at the balance sheet date, companies are required to disclose the estimated fair values of all financial instruments, even if they are not carried at their fair value. The fair values of financial instruments are estimates based on market conditions and perceived risks at December 31, 2022 and 2021. These estimates require management’s judgment and may not be indicative of the future fair values of the assets and liabilities. Financial assets and liabilities for which the carrying values approximate their fair values include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and tenant deposits. Generally, these assets and liabilities are short-term in duration and are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company believes the carrying value of the borrowings on its credit facility approximate fair value based on their nature, terms and variable interest rate. Additionally, the Company believes the carrying values of its fixed-rate loans receivable approximate fair values based on market quotes for comparable instruments or discounted cash flow analyses using estimates of the amount and timing of future cash flows, market rates and credit spreads. The estimated fair values of the Company’s aggregate long-term debt obligations have been derived based on market observable inputs such as interest rates and discounted cash flow analyses using estimates of the amount and timing of future cash flows, market rates and credit spreads. These measurements are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. At December 31, 2022, these debt obligations had an aggregate carrying value of $4.6 billion and an estimated fair value of $4.1 billion. At December 31, 2021, these debt obligations had an aggregate carrying value of $4.2 billion and an estimated fair value of $4.5 billion. |

| Subsequent Events | 10. Subsequent Events Completion of Merger Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at or immediately prior to, as applicable, the effective time of the Merger (the “Merger Effective Time”), among other things:
Debt Repayments and Termination of Agreements In connection with the completion of the Merger, on February 3, 2023, STORE repaid in full all indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations outstanding under, and terminated, the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated June 2021, which provided for the Company’s senior unsecured revolving credit facility and the Term Loan Agreement, dated April 2022, which provided for floating-rate, unsecured term loans. At the time of repayment, the outstanding balance on the unsecured revolving credit facility was $600.0 million and the aggregate borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement were $600.0 million. Additionally, in connection with the completion of the Merger, on February 3, 2023, the Company repaid $130.0 million of outstanding borrowings on the December 2022 Term Loan at maturity. Upon completion of the Merger and pursuant to the Company’s Note Purchase Agreements (Note 4), the Company was required to offer to prepay the $300.0 million of outstanding aggregate principal amounts of Notes. Following the closing of the repurchase offer period, the Company repurchased $185.6 million in aggregate principal amounts of such Notes. Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan In connection with the completion of the Merger, on February 3, 2023, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Unsecured Credit Agreement”) which provides for a senior unsecured revolving credit facility of up to $500.0 million (the “Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility”) and an unsecured, variable-rate term loan of $600.0 million (the “Unsecured Term Loan”). The Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility matures in February 2027 and includes two six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions and the payment of a 0.075% extension fee. Borrowings under the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility require monthly payments of interest at a rate selected by the Company of either (1) SOFR plus an adjustment of 0.10% plus a credit spread ranging from 1.00% to 1.45%, or (2) a Base Rate, as defined in the Unsecured Credit Agreement, plus a credit spread ranging from 0.00% to 0.45%. The credit spread used is based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio as defined in the Unsecured Credit Agreement. The Company is also required to pay a facility fee on the total commitment amount of the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility ranging from 0.15% to 0.30%. The Unsecured Term Loan matures in April 2027 and the interest rate resets daily at Daily Simple SOFR plus an adjustment of 0.10% plus a credit spread ranging from 1.10% to 1.70% based on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio as defined in the Unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement. The Company’s existing cash flow hedges effectively convert the variable-rate on the Unsecured Term Loan to a fixed rate of 3.88%. The Unsecured Credit Agreement also includes capacity for uncommitted incremental term loans and revolving commitments, whether in the form of additional facilities or an increase to the existing facilities, up to an aggregate amount for all revolving commitments and term loans under the Unsecured Credit Agreement of $2.5 billion. The Unsecured Credit Agreement contains various restrictive financial and nonfinancial covenants which, among other things, require the Company to maintain certain leverage ratios, cash flow and debt service coverage ratios and secured borrowing ratios. In March 2023, the Company entered into an incremental amendment to the Unsecured Credit Agreement which provides for increases to the outstanding Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Unsecured Term Loan in an aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million, consisting of (i) increases to the commitments under the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility in an amount of $150.0 million and (ii) increases to the Unsecured Term Loan in an amount of $200.0 million. In connection with the amendment to the Unsecured Credit Agreement, the Company entered into one interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $200.0 million that effectively converts the incremental borrowings on the Unsecured Term Loan to a fixed interest rate of 5.17% for the remaining term of the loan. Secured Term Loan Facility In connection with the completion of the Merger, on February 3, 2023, the Company and certain of its consolidated special purpose entities entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) which provides for a secured term loan of $2.0 billion (the “Secured Term Loan Facility”). The Secured Term Loan Facility matures in February 2025 and includes two six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions and the payment of a 0.25% extension fee. Borrowings outstanding under the Secured Term Loan Facility require monthly payments of interest at a floating-rate equal to one-month SOFR, plus a spread of 2.75%; provided that, if the amount outstanding three months following the Closing Date is greater than $1.5 billion, the spread will automatically increase to 3.00%. In conjunction with entering into the Secured Term Loan Facility, the Company entered into three interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $750.0 million that effectively convert a portion of the borrowings to a fixed interest rate of 7.60%. As of February 3, 2023, the effective weighted average interest rate on the Secured Term Loan Facility was 7.42%. The Secured Term Loan Facility is secured by a collateral pool of properties owned by consolidated special purpose entities of the Company and is generally non-recourse to the Company, subject to certain customary limited exceptions. The consolidated special purpose entities are subject to certain restrictive covenants under the Credit Agreement, including with respect to the type of business they may conduct and other customary covenants for a bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity. The Credit Agreement permits substitution of real estate collateral from time to time for assets securing the Secured Term Loan Facility, subject to certain conditions and limitations. In March 2023, the Company paid down $515.0 million in aggregate principal amount of indebtedness under the Credit Agreement. Notice of Delisting On February 3, 2023, in connection with the completion of the Merger, the Company requested that the NYSE suspend trading in the shares of Common Stock and filed with the SEC a notification of removal from listing and registration on Form 25 to effect the delisting of the Common Stock from the NYSE and deregistration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities On February 3, 2023, the Company issued 125 Series A Preferred Units (the “Series A Preferred Units”) for an aggregate cash amount of $125,000. The issuance of the Series A Preferred Units was made through a private placement in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

| Summary of Significant Accounting Principles | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Basis of Accounting and Principles of Consolidation | Basis of Accounting and Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These consolidated statements include the accounts of STORE Capital and its subsidiaries which are wholly owned and controlled by the Company through its voting interest. One of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, STORE Capital Advisors, LLC, provides all of the general and administrative services for the day-to-day operations of the consolidated group, including property acquisition and lease origination, real estate portfolio management and marketing, accounting and treasury services. The remaining subsidiaries were formed to acquire and hold real estate investments or to facilitate non-recourse secured borrowing activities. Generally, the initial operations of the real estate subsidiaries are funded by an interest-bearing intercompany loan from STORE Capital, and such intercompany loan is repaid when the subsidiary issues long-term debt secured by its properties. All intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain of the Company’s wholly owned consolidated subsidiaries were formed as special purpose entities. Each special purpose entity is a separate legal entity and is the sole owner of its assets and liabilities. The assets of the special purpose entities are not available to pay or otherwise satisfy obligations to the creditors of any owner or affiliate of the special purpose entity. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, these special purpose entities held assets totaling $9.5 billion and $8.5 billion, respectively, and had third-party liabilities totaling $2.4 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively. These assets and liabilities are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management believes its estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting The Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting, established standards for the manner in which enterprises report information about operating segments. The Company views its operations as one reportable segment. |

At the beginning of 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASC Topic 842”) which had an impact on certain accounting related to the Company’s investment portfolio.

| Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic | Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic During the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic beginning in early 2020, the Company provided to certain tenants rent deferral arrangements in the form of both short-term notes and lease modifications. The FASB provided accounting relief under which concessions provided to tenants in direct response to the COVID-19 pandemic are not required to be evaluated or accounted for as lease modifications in accordance with ASC Topic 842. The Company elected to apply this accounting relief to the rent deferral arrangements it has entered into with its tenants, which primarily affected the timing (but not the amount) of lease and loan payments due to the Company under its contracts. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $1.5 million, $8.3 million and $57.1 million of net revenue associated with these deferral arrangements with a corresponding increase in receivables that are included in other assets, net on the consolidated balance sheet. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company collected $14.5 million, $33.4 million and $9.9 million of the receivables related to these deferral arrangements. |

| Accounting for Real Estate Investments | Accounting for Real Estate Investments Classification and Cost STORE Capital records the acquisition of real estate properties at cost, including acquisition and closing costs. The Company allocates the cost of real estate properties to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated relative fair values. Intangible assets and liabilities acquired may include the value of existing in-place leases, above-market or below-market lease value of in-place leases and ground lease-related intangibles, as applicable. Management uses multiple sources to estimate fair value, including independent appraisals and information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence and its marketing and leasing activities. Certain of the Company’s lease contracts allow its tenants the option, at their election, to purchase the leased property from the Company at a specified time or times (generally at the greater of the then-fair market value or the Company’s cost, as defined in the lease contracts). Subsequent to the adoption of ASC Topic 842, for real estate assets acquired through a sale-leaseback transaction and subject to a lease contract which contains a purchase option, the Company accounts for such an acquisition as a financing arrangement and records the investment in loans and financing receivables on the consolidated balance sheet; should the purchase option later expire or be removed from the lease contract, the Company would derecognize the asset accounted for as a financing arrangement and recognize the transferred leased asset in real estate investments. In-place lease intangibles are valued based on management’s estimates of lost rent and carrying costs during the time it would take to locate a tenant if the property were vacant, considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating lost rent and carrying costs, management considers market rents, real estate taxes, insurance, costs to execute similar leases (including leasing commissions) and other related costs. The value assigned to in-place leases is amortized on a straight-line basis as a component of depreciation and amortization expense typically over the remaining term of the related leases. The fair value of any above-market or below-market lease is estimated based on the present value of the difference between the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place lease and management’s estimate of current market lease rates for the property, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease. Capitalized above-market lease intangibles are amortized over the remaining term of the respective leases as a decrease to rental revenue. Below-market lease intangibles are amortized as an increase in rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases plus the fixed-rate renewal periods on those leases, if any. Should a lease terminate early, the unamortized portion of any related lease intangible is immediately recognized in operations. The Company’s real estate portfolio is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated remaining useful life of the properties, which generally ranges from to 40 years for buildings and is generally 15 years for land improvements. Properties classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying value or their fair value, less anticipated selling costs. Any properties classified as held for sale are not depreciated. |

| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition STORE Capital leases real estate to its tenants under long-term net leases that are predominantly classified as operating leases. The Company’s leases generally provide for rent escalations throughout the lease terms. For leases that provide for specific contractual escalations, rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis so as to produce a constant periodic rent over the term of the lease. Accordingly, straight-line operating lease receivables, calculated as the aggregate difference between the rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis and scheduled rents, represent unbilled rent receivables that the Company will receive only if the tenants make all rent payments required through the expiration of the leases; these receivables are included in other assets, net on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company reviews its straight-line operating lease receivables for collectibility on a contract by contract basis and any amounts not considered substantially collectible are written off against rental revenues. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had $46.9 million and $39.4 million, respectively, of straight-line operating lease receivables. Leases that have contingent rent escalators indexed to future increases in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) may adjust over a one-year period or over multiple-year periods. Generally, these escalators increase rent at (a) 1 to 1.25 times the increase in the CPI over a specified period or (b) a fixed percentage. Because of the volatility and uncertainty with respect to future changes in the CPI, the Company’s inability to determine the extent to which any specific future change in the CPI is probable at each rent adjustment date during the entire term of these leases and the Company’s view that the multiplier does not represent a significant leverage factor, increases in rental revenue from leases with this type of escalator are recognized only after the changes in the rental rates have actually occurred. In addition to base rental revenue, certain leases also have contingent rentals that are based on a percentage of the tenant’s gross sales; the Company recognizes contingent rental revenue when the threshold upon which the contingent lease payment is based is actually reached. Approximately 3.2% of the Company’s investment portfolio is subject to leases that provide for contingent rent based on a percentage of the tenant’s gross sales; historically, contingent rent recognized has been less than 2.0% of rental revenues. The Company reviews its operating lease receivables for collectibility on a regular basis, taking into consideration changes in factors such as the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area where the property is located. In the event that the collectibility of lease payments with respect to any tenant is not probable, a direct write-off of the receivable is made and any future rental revenue is recognized only when the tenant makes a rental payment or when collectibility is again deemed probable. Direct costs incremental to successful lease origination, offset by any lease origination fees received, are deferred and amortized over the related lease term as an adjustment to rental revenue. The Company periodically commits to fund the construction of new properties for its customers; rental revenue collected during the construction period is deferred and amortized over the remaining lease term when the construction project is complete. Substantially all of the Company’s leases are triple net, which means that the lessees are directly responsible for the payment of all property operating expenses, including property taxes, maintenance and insurance. For a few lease contracts, the Company collects property taxes from its customers and remits those taxes to governmental authorities. Subsequent to the adoption of ASC Topic 842, these property tax payments are presented on a gross basis as part of both rental revenues and property costs in the consolidated statements of income. |

| Impairment | Impairment STORE Capital reviews its real estate investments and related lease intangibles periodically for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through operations. Such events or changes in circumstances may include an expectation to sell certain assets in accordance with the Company’s long-term strategic plans. Management considers factors such as expected future undiscounted cash flows, capitalization and discount rates, terminal value, tenant improvements, market trends (such as the effects of leasing demand and competition) and other factors including bona fide purchase offers received from third parties in making this assessment. These factors are classified as Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy, discussed in Fair Value Measurement below. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the impairment is calculated as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value. Estimating future cash flows is highly subjective and such estimates could differ materially from actual results. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized an aggregate provision for impairment of real estate of $16.0 million. For the assets impaired in 2022, the estimated fair value of the impaired real estate assets at the time of impairment aggregated $65.3 million. The Company recognized aggregate provisions for the impairment of real estate of $21.8 million and $22.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. |

| Accounting for Loans and Financing Receivables | Accounting for Loans and Financing Receivables Loans Receivable – Classification, Cost and Revenue Recognition STORE Capital holds its loans receivable, which are primarily mortgage loans secured by real estate, for long-term investment. Loans receivable are carried at amortized cost, including related unamortized discounts or premiums, if any. The Company recognizes interest income on loans receivable using the effective-interest method applied on a loan-by-loan basis. Direct costs associated with originating loans are offset against any related fees received and the balance, along with any premium or discount, is deferred and amortized as an adjustment to interest income over the term of the related loan receivable using the effective interest method. A loan receivable is placed on nonaccrual status when the loan has become more than 60 days past due, or earlier if management determines that full recovery of the contractually specified payments of principal and interest is doubtful. While on nonaccrual status, interest income is recognized only when received. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had loans receivable with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $31.8 million and $28.8 million, respectively, on nonaccrual status. Direct Financing Receivables – Classification, Cost and Revenue Recognition Direct financing receivables include hybrid real estate investment transactions completed prior to 2019. The Company recorded the direct financing receivables at their net investment, determined as the aggregate minimum lease payments and the estimated residual value of the leased property less unearned income. The unearned income is recognized over the life of the related contracts so as to produce a constant rate of return on the net investment in the asset. Subsequent to the adoption of ASC Topic 842, existing direct financing receivables will continue to be accounted for in the same manner, unless the underlying contracts are modified. Impairment and Provision for Credit Losses The Company accounts for provisions of credit losses in accordance with ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (“Topic 326”): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC Topic 326”). In accordance with ASC Topic 326, the Company evaluates the collectibility of its loans and financing receivables at the time each financing receivable is issued and subsequently on a quarterly basis utilizing an expected credit loss model based on credit quality indicators. The primary credit quality indicator is the implied credit rating associated with each borrower, utilizing two categories, investment grade and non-investment grade. The Company computes implied credit ratings based on regularly received borrower financial statements using Moody’s Analytics RiskCalc. The Company considers the implied credit ratings, loan and financing receivable term to maturity and underlying collateral value and quality, if any, to calculate the expected credit loss over the remaining life of the receivable. Loans are written off against the allowance for credit loss when all or a portion of the principal amount is determined to be uncollectible. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized an estimated $0.4 million, $3.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of provisions for credit losses related to its loans and financing receivables; the provision for credit losses is included in provisions for impairment on the consolidated statements of income. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company wrote off $3.7 million of loans receivable against previously established reserves for credit losses. The Company did not write off any loans during the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. |

The unearned income is recognized over the life of the related contracts so as to produce a constant rate of return on the net investment in the asset. Subsequent to the adoption of ASC Topic 842, existing direct financing receivables will continue to be accounted for in the same manner, unless the underlying contracts are modified. |

| Accounting for Operating Ground Lease Assets | Accounting for Operating Ground Lease Assets As part of certain real estate investment transactions, the Company may enter into long-term operating ground leases as a lessee. The Company is required to recognize an operating ground lease (or right-of-use) asset and related operating lease liability for each of these operating ground leases. Operating ground lease assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the lease payments. The Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate, which is the estimated rate at which the Company could borrow on a collateralized basis with similar payments over a similar term, in determining the present value of the lease payments. Many of these operating lease contracts include options for the Company to extend the lease; the option periods are included in the minimum lease term only if it is reasonably likely the Company will exercise the option(s). Rental expense for the operating ground lease contracts is recognized in property costs on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Some of the contracts have contingent rent escalators indexed to future increases in the CPI and a few contracts have contingent rentals that are based on a percentage of the gross sales of the property; these payments are recognized in expense as incurred. The payment obligations under these contracts are typically the responsibility of the tenants operating on the properties, in accordance with the Company’s leases with the respective tenants. As a result, the Company also recognizes sublease rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the Company’s sublease with the tenant; the sublease income is included in rental revenues. |

| Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investment securities with maturities at acquisition of three months or less.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash Restricted cash may include reserve account deposits held by lenders, including deposits required to be used for future investment in real estate assets, escrow deposits and cash proceeds from the sale of assets held by a qualified intermediary to facilitate tax-deferred exchange transactions under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company had $4.7 million and $5.8 million of restricted cash at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which are included in other assets, net, on the consolidated balance sheets. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Deferred Costs | Deferred Costs Financing costs related to the issuance of the Company’s long-term debt are deferred and amortized as an increase to interest expense over the term of the related debt instrument using the effective-interest method and are reported as a reduction of the related debt balance on the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred financing costs related to the establishment of the Company's credit facility are deferred and amortized to interest expense over the term of the credit facility and are included in other assets, net, on the consolidated balance sheets. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities | Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities The Company may enter into derivative contracts as part of its overall financing strategy to manage the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates associated with current and/or future debt issuances. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The use of derivative financial instruments carries certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements are not able to perform under the agreements. To mitigate this risk, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments only with counterparties with high credit ratings and with major financial institutions with which the Company may also have other financial relationships. The Company does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations. The Company records its derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. All derivatives subject to a master netting arrangement in accordance with the associated master International Swap and Derivatives Association agreement have been presented on a net basis by counterparty portfolio for purposes of balance sheet presentation and related disclosures. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to cash flow hedges are reclassified to operations as an adjustment to interest expense as interest payments are made on the hedged debt transaction. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had seven interest rate swap agreements in place. One of the interest rate swap agreements has a notional amount of $200.0 million and was designated as a cash flow hedge of the Company's $200.0 million floating-rate bank term loan due in April 2029. The remaining six interest rate swap agreements have an aggregate notional amount of $400.0 million and were designated as cash flow hedges of the Company's $400.0 million floating-rate bank term loan due in April 2027 (Note 4). As of December 31, 2021, the Company had no derivative instruments in place. |

| Fair Value Measurement | Fair Value Measurement The Company estimates the fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities based on the framework established in fair value accounting guidance. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The hierarchy described below prioritizes inputs to the valuation techniques used in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This hierarchy maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring the most observable inputs to be used when available. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Share-based Compensation | Share-based Compensation Directors and employees of the Company have historically been granted long-term incentive awards, including restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and restricted stock unit awards (“RSUs’), which provided such directors and employees with equity interests as an incentive to remain in the Company’s service and to align their interests with those of the Company’s stockholders. The Company estimates the fair value of RSAs based on the closing price per share of the common stock on the date of grant and recognizes that amount in general and administrative expense ratably over the vesting period at the greater of the amount amortized on a straight-line basis or the amount vested. The Company’s RSUs granted 2019 through 2022 contain both a market condition and a performance condition as well as a service condition. The Company values the RSUs with a market condition using a Monte Carlo simulation model and values the RSUs with a performance condition based on the fair value of the awards expected to be earned and recognizes those amounts in general and administrative expense on a tranche-by-tranche basis ratably over the vesting periods. |

| Income Taxes | Income Taxes As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax. It is still subject, however, to state and local income taxes and to federal income and excise tax on its undistributed income. STORE Investment Corporation is the Company’s wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) created to engage in non-qualifying REIT activities. The TRS is subject to federal, state and local income taxes. |

| Net Income Per Common Share | Net Income Per Common Share Net income per common share has been computed pursuant to the guidance in the FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. The guidance requires the classification of the Company’s unvested restricted common shares, which contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends, as participating securities requiring the two-class method of computing net income per common share. The following table is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share (dollars in thousands):

| Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or the SEC. The Company adopts the new pronouncements as of the specified effective date. When permitted, the Company may elect to early adopt the new pronouncements. Unless otherwise discussed, these new accounting pronouncements include technical corrections to existing guidance or introduce new guidance related to specialized industries or entities and, therefore, will have minimal, if any, impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which amended the sunset date of the guidance in Topic 848 to December 31, 2024 from December 31, 2022. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur. |
