BACKGROUNDFabSouth is a leading manufacturer of structural steel, with a unique,multi-plant business model that provides superior operationalflexibility and financial performance. The FabSouth platform wascreated in 2014 with the combination of four structural steelfabricators. From 2014-2018, FabSouth added four additional locationsthrough a combination of organic and inorganic expansion, creating thecurrent platform. In 2009, FabSouth was acquired by Canam Group, aCanadian public company, which was subsequently acquired by AIP in2017. Today, FabSouth operates as an independent, standalonecompany under AIP ownership.

LONG-TERM LEASE WITH PASSIVE STRUCTURE
The offering will be truly passive in nature, with no landlord responsibilities for expenses, repairs, orreplacements. The absolute triple-net master lease structure and annual 2.25% rental escalationsprovide an attractive and rising income stream over the 20-year initial term.
GROWING, DIFFERENTIATED TENANT
FabSouth is one of the largest structural steel fabricators in the country and goes to market underthe brand identities of eight constituent companies. This approach provides competitive advantagesin procurement, shared services, and leveraging operational best practices. The Tenant boasts ahigh degree of project diversification and minimal project concentration yet has attractive exposureto secular growth in e-commerce distribution infrastructure. The average project size is under $2million, and of the 1,000+ projects completed in 2019, the top 10 only accounted for 30% of the totalrevenue. Business from customers is typically more repeatable and consistent. Over the past two fullyears, FabSouth’s top line grew by a CAGR of 15.7%, and full-year 2020 is expected to show a revenueincrease of 27.6% over 2019. FabSouth is uniquely positioned to continue strengthening viainvestments in automation, operational improvements, and end-market tailwinds.
MISSION-CRITICAL MANUFACTURING FACILITIES
The Properties represent 98% of FabSouth’s total revenues (before eliminations), underscoring theimportance of the entire Portfolio. They house over 1,400 employees combined who are expected tocomplete 1.8 million shop hours in 2020. The Tenant has also made over $15 million in recentinvestments in capacity and automation to position the business for accelerated growth in the top-line and profitability, plus annual maintenance capex of approximately $3.5 million. The low overallFloor Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.2 reflects the Tenant’s need to have relatively large outdoor storage areas,and the Portfolio sale will convey ±165 acres to an investor. Additionally, as freight is an importantconsideration in shipping steel, FabSouth’s locations are strategic to keep related costs low. Exitingany of the plants would significantly disadvantage FabSouth from a competitive bidding standpoint.
INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
4 | FabSouth sale-leaseback portfolio

STRONG UNIT-LEVEL COVERAGE
The ratio of TTM EBITDA (through August 2020) to proposed rentacross the Portfolio is incredibly strong at 11x, and no site’s unit-level EBITDA coverage is below 3.5x. Further, the total proposedrent represents only 0.6% of TTM Revenue over the same period.Since the total rent for the Portfolio will be guaranteed under amaster lease agreement, an investor will receive added securitywith respect to the contractual lease payments. The seven brandsthat are based out of these Properties have an average operatinghistory exceeding 55 years (including predecessor entities) andhave extensive histories at each site, which lends to the likelihoodof continued, healthy site-level performance.
GEOGRAPHIC DIVERSITY
The Properties are based in six states, with the majority located inthe Southeast U.S. Shared plant capacity across this footprintenables superior utilization and reduces sub-fabrication expenses.The metropolitan areas surrounding the sites have experiencedamong the highest population growth rates in the country, namelythe Texas and Florida locations, and world-class infrastructure. Aninvestor purchasing the Portfolio will receive exposure to ninedifferent industrial markets having an average inventory size of132.6 MSF, vacancy rate of 5.8% (on par with the national level), andgross market rental rate of $6.81 PSF. Included in these ninemarkets are especially desirable industrial pockets of Greenville(132.9 MSF), Fort Lauderdale (136.8 MSF), and Atlanta (740.8 MSF).The average population and household income within a 5-mileradius of the Properties is ±118,000 and ±$70,000, respectively.
