Executive Summary

InvenTrust Properties Corp. is a premier Sun Belt, multi-tenant essential retail REIT that owns, leases, redevelops, acquires, and manages grocery-anchored neighborhood and community centers, as well as high-quality power centers that often have a grocery component. We pursue our business strategy by acquiring retail properties in Sun Belt markets, opportunistically disposing of retail properties, maintaining a flexible capital structure, and enhancing our environmental, social and governance practices and standards.

Current Strategy and Outlook

InvenTrust focuses on Sun Belt markets with favorable demographics, including above average growth in population, employment, income and education levels. We believe these conditions create favorable demand characteristics for grocery-anchored and necessity-based essential retail centers, which will position us to capitalize on potential future rent increases while benefiting from sustained occupancy at our centers. Our strategically located regional field offices are within a two-hour drive of over 95% of our properties which affords us the ability to respond to the needs of our tenants and provides us with in-depth local market knowledge. We believe that our Sun Belt portfolio of high quality grocery-anchored assets is a distinct differentiator for us in the marketplace.

Evaluation of Financial Condition and Operating Results

In addition to measures of operating performance determined in accordance with U.S generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), management evaluates our financial condition and operating performance by focusing on the following financial and non-financial indicators, discussed in further detail herein:

•Net Operating Income ("NOI") and Same Property NOI, supplemental non-GAAP measures;

•NAREIT Funds From Operations ("NAREIT FFO") Applicable to Common Shares and Dilutive Securities, a supplemental non-GAAP measure;

•Core FFO Applicable to Common Shares and Dilutive Securities, a supplemental non-GAAP measure;

•Economic and leased occupancy and rental rates;

•Leasing activity and lease rollover;

•Operating expense levels and trends;

•General and administrative expense levels and trends;

•Debt maturities and leverage ratios; and

•Liquidity levels.

Our Retail Portfolio

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, our wholly-owned and managed retail properties include grocery-anchored community and neighborhood centers and power centers, including those classified as necessity-based. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we have included results from IAGM properties at share when combined with our wholly-owned properties.

The following table summarizes our retail portfolio, on a wholly-owned, IAGM, and pro rata combined basis, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Summary by Center Type

Our retail properties consist of community and neighborhood centers and power centers.

•Community and neighborhood centers are generally open-air and designed for tenants that offer a wide array of merchandise and services, including groceries, soft goods and convenience-oriented offerings. Our community centers contain large anchor stores and a significant presence of national retail tenants. Our neighborhood centers are generally smaller open-air centers with a grocery store anchor and/or drugstore and other small service-type retailers.

•Power centers are generally larger and consist of several anchors, such as discount department stores, off-price stores, specialty grocers and warehouse clubs. Typically, the number of specialty tenants is limited and most are national or regional in scope.

The following tables summarize our retail portfolio, by center type, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Equity in (losses) earnings of unconsolidated entities

Equity in (losses) earnings of unconsolidated entities decreased $4.2 million primarily as a result of the Company acquiring six retail properties from IAGM since January 1, 2022.

Other income and expense, net

Other income and expense, net increased $3.5 million primarily as a result of increased interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents and non-recurring income from non-operating activities.

24

Net Operating Income

We evaluate the performance of our retail properties based on NOI, which excludes general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, other income and expense, net, gains (losses) from sales of properties, gains (losses) on extinguishment of debt, interest expense, net, equity in earnings (losses) from unconsolidated entities, lease termination income and expense, and GAAP rent adjustments such as amortization of market lease intangibles, amortization of lease incentives, and straight-line rent adjustments ("GAAP Rent Adjustments"). We bifurcate NOI into Same Property NOI and NOI from other investment properties based on whether the retail properties meet our Same Property criteria. NOI from other investment properties includes adjustments for the Company's captive insurance company.

We believe the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures of NOI, same property NOI, and NOI from other investment properties provide added comparability across periods when evaluating our financial condition and operating performance that is not readily apparent from "Operating income" or "Net income" in accordance with GAAP.

Comparison of Same Property results for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022

A total of 51 wholly-owned retail properties met our Same Property criteria for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The following table presents the reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to NOI and Same Property NOI for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

Same Property NOI increased by $6.6 million, or 4.9%, when comparing the year ended December 31, 2023 to the same period in 2022, and was primarily a result of:

•$5.3 million of increased minimum rent attributable to increased ABR PSF and favorable lease spreads,

•$1.7 million of increased recoveries in excess of recoverable operating expenses, primarily attributable to leases with fixed recovery terms, and

•$1.0 million of decreased non-recoverable pre-leasing costs, partially offset by:

•$1.4 million of net changes in credit losses and related reversals primarily attributable to lump sum rent collections from our cash basis tenants in 2022 pertaining to prior period rent charges.

Funds From Operations

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), an industry trade group, has promulgated a widely accepted non-GAAP financial measure of operating performance known as Funds From Operations ("NAREIT FFO"). Our NAREIT FFO is net income (or loss) in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) resulting from dispositions of properties, plus depreciation and amortization and impairment charges on depreciable real property. Adjustments for IAGM are calculated to reflect our proportionate share of the joint venture's funds from operations on the same basis.

In calculating NAREIT FFO, impairment charges of depreciable real estate assets are added back even though the impairment charge may represent a permanent decline in value due to the decreased operating performance of the applicable property. Furthermore, because gains and losses from sales of property are excluded from NAREIT FFO, it is consistent and appropriate that impairments, which are often early recognition of losses on prospective sales of property, also be excluded.

We believe NAREIT FFO Applicable to Common Shares and Dilutive Securities, when considered with the financial statements determined in accordance with GAAP, is helpful to investors in understanding our performance because the historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT, using historical accounting for depreciation, could be less informative.

Core Funds From Operations ("Core FFO") is an additional supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of our operating performance. In particular, Core FFO provides an additional measure to compare the operating performance of different REITs without having to account for certain remaining amortization assumptions within NAREIT FFO and other unique revenue and expense items which some may consider not pertinent to measuring a particular company's on-going operating performance. In that regard, we use Core FFO as an input to our compensation plan to determine cash bonuses and measure the achievement of certain performance-based equity awards.

Our adjustments to NAREIT FFO to arrive at Core FFO include removing the impact of (i) amortization of debt discounts and financing costs, (ii) amortization of market-lease intangibles and inducements, net, (iii) depreciation and amortization of corporate assets, (iv) straight-line rent adjustments, (v) gains (or losses) resulting from debt extinguishments (vi) other non-operating revenue and expense items which, in our judgement, are not pertinent to measuring on-going operating performance, (vii) adjustments for IAGM to reflect our share of the ventures' Core FFO on the same basis. Our calculation of Core FFO Applicable to Common Shares and Dilutive Securities does not consider any capital expenditures.

26

Other REITs may use alternative methodologies for calculating similarly titled measures, which may not be comparable to our definition and calculation of NAREIT FFO Applicable to Common Shares and Dilutive Securities or Core FFO Applicable to Common Shares and Dilutive Securities. Furthermore, NAREIT FFO and Core FFO are not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as alternatives to net income as an indication of our performance. NAREIT FFO and Core FFO should not be considered as alternatives to our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities. Nor should NAREIT FFO and Core FFO be considered as measures of liquidity, our ability to make cash distributions, or our ability to service our debt.

NAREIT FFO Applicable to Common Shares and Dilutive Securities and Core FFO Applicable to Common Shares and Dilutive Securities is calculated as follows:

Critical Accounting Estimates

General

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates, judgments, and assumptions are required in a number of areas, including, but not limited to, evaluating the collectability of accounts receivable, allocating the purchase price of acquired retail properties, and evaluating the impairment of long-lived assets. We base these estimates, judgments and assumptions on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

We evaluate the inputs, processes and outputs of each asset acquired to determine if the transaction is a business combination or asset acquisition. If an acquisition qualifies as a business combination, the related transaction costs are expensed. If an acquisition qualifies as an asset acquisition, the related transaction costs are generally capitalized and amortized over the useful life of the acquired assets. Generally, our acquisitions of real estate qualify as asset acquisitions.

We allocate the purchase price of real estate to land, building, other building improvements, tenant improvements, intangible assets and liabilities (such as the value of above- and below-market leases, in-place leases and origination costs associated with in-place leases). The values of above- and below-market leases are recorded as intangible assets and intangible liabilities, respectively, and are amortized as either a decrease (in the case of above-market leases) or an increase (in the case of below-market leases) to lease income, net over the remaining term of the associated tenant lease. The values, if any, associated with in-place leases are recorded in intangible assets and are amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining lease term.

The difference between the contractual rental rates and our estimate of market rental rates is measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the leases plus the term of any below-market renewal options. For the amortization period, the remaining term of leases with renewal options at terms below market reflect the assumed exercise of such below-market renewal options, if reasonably assured.

If a tenant vacates its space prior to the contractual expiration of the lease and no rental payments are being made on the lease, any unamortized balance of the related intangible asset or liability is written off. Tenant improvements are depreciated and origination costs are amortized over the remaining term of the lease or charged against earnings if the lease is terminated prior to its contractual expiration date.

With the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist, we perform the following procedures for assets acquired:

•Estimate the value of the property "as if vacant" as of the acquisition date;

•Allocate the value of the property among land, building, and other building improvements and determine the associated useful life for each;

•Calculate the value and associated life of above- and below-market leases on a tenant-by-tenant basis. The difference between the contractual rental rates and our estimate of market rental rates is measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the leases (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired, including geographical location, size of leased area, tenant profile and credit risk);

•Estimate the fair value of the tenant improvements, legal costs and leasing commissions incurred to obtain the leases and calculate the associated useful life for each;

•Estimate the fair value of assumed debt, if any; and

•Estimate the intangible value of the in-place leases based on lease execution costs of similar leases as well as lost rent payments during an assumed lease-up period and their associated useful lives on a tenant-by-tenant basis.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

We assess the carrying values of our long-lived tangible and intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that they may not be fully recoverable. An example of an event or changed circumstance is a reduction in the expected holding period of a property. When such event or circumstances occur, if it is expected that the carrying value is not recoverable, because the expected undiscounted cash flows do not exceed that carrying value, we recognize an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. The valuation and possible subsequent impairment of investment properties is a significant estimate that can and does change based on our continuous process of analyzing each property's economic condition over time and reviewing and updating assumptions about uncertain inherent factors, including observable inputs such as contractual revenues and unobservable inputs such as forecasted revenues and expenses, estimated net disposition proceeds, discount and capitalization rates. These unobservable inputs are based on market conditions and the property's expected growth rates. Assumptions and estimates about future cash flows and discount and capitalization rates are complex and subjective. Changes in economic and operating conditions and in our ultimate investment intent that occur subsequent to the impairment analyses could impact these assumptions and result in additional impairment.

Our assessment of expected hold period for investment properties evaluated for impairment is of particular significance because of the material impact it has on the evaluation of the property's recoverability. Changes in our disposition strategy or changes in the marketplace may alter the expected hold period of a property which may result in an impairment loss and such loss could be material to the Company's financial condition or operating performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Development, Re-development, Capital Expenditures and Tenant Improvements

The following table summarizes capital resources used for development and re-development, capital expenditures, and tenant improvements at our retail properties during the year ended December 31, 2023. These costs are classified as cash used in capital expenditures and tenant improvements and investment in development and re-development projects on the consolidated statements of cash flows during the year ended December 31, 2023.

(a)Direct development and re-development costs relate to construction of buildings at our retail properties.

(b)Indirect development and re-development costs relate to capitalized interest, real estate taxes, insurance, and payroll attributed to improvements at our retail properties.

(c)Direct costs relate to improvements to a tenant space that are either paid directly by us or reimbursed to the tenants.

Short-Term Liquidity and Capital Resources

On a short-term basis, our principal uses for funds are to pay our operating and corporate expenses, interest and principal on our indebtedness, property capital expenditures, and to make distributions to our stockholders.

Our ability to maintain adequate liquidity for our operations in the future is dependent upon a number of factors, including our revenue, macroeconomic conditions, our ability to contain costs, including capital expenditures, and to collect rents and other receivables, and various other factors, many of which are beyond our control. We will continue to monitor our liquidity position and may seek to raise funds through debt or equity financing in the future to fund operations, significant investments or acquisitions that are consistent with our strategy. Our ability to raise these funds may also be diminished by other macroeconomic factors.

Long-Term Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our objectives are to maximize revenue generated by our retail platform, to further enhance the value of our retail properties to produce attractive current yield and long-term returns for our stockholders, and to generate sustainable and predictable cash flow from our operations to distribute to our stockholders.

29

Any future determination to pay distributions will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend on our financial condition, capital requirements, restrictions contained in current or future financing instruments, and such other factors as our Board deems relevant. In November 2023, our Board approved an increase to our annual distribution rate effective for the quarterly distribution to be paid in April 2024.

Our primary sources and uses of capital are as follows:

SourcesUses
•Operating cash flows from our real estate investments;•Proceeds from sales of properties; •Proceeds from mortgage loan borrowings on properties;•Proceeds from corporate borrowings and debt financings;•Proceeds from any ATM Program activities; and•Proceeds from our Series A and Series B Notes offering.•To invest in properties or fund acquisitions;•To fund development, re-development, maintenance and capital expenditures or leasing incentives;•To make distributions to our stockholders; •To service or pay down our debt; •To pay our operating expenses;•To repurchase shares of our common stock; and•To fund other general corporate uses.

We believe our listing on the NYSE will facilitate supplementing these sources by selling equity securities of the Company if and when we believe appropriate to do so. Also, from time to time, we may seek to acquire additional amounts of our outstanding common stock through cash purchases or exchanges for other securities. Such purchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors.

In the first quarter of 2022, we entered into an ATM Program pursuant to which we may sell shares of our common stock up to an aggregate purchase price of $250.0 million. In the fourth quarter of 2023, we raised $5.4 million of net proceeds under the ATM Program, after $0.1 million in commissions, through the issuance of 208,040 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $26.13 per share. As of December 31, 2023, $244.6 million of common stock remains available for issuance under the ATM Program.

In the third quarter of 2023, Fitch Ratings, Inc. ("Fitch") affirmed our Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'BBB-'. In addition, Fitch affirmed our senior unsecured debt at 'BBB-'. Our investment grade Rating Outlook is Stable.

On August 11, 2022, the Company issued $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes in a private placement, of which (i) $150.0 million are designated as 5.07% Senior Notes, Series A, due August 11, 2029 (the "Series A Notes") and (ii) $100.0 million are designated as 5.20% Senior Notes, Series B, due August 11, 2032 (the "Series B Notes" and, together with the Series A Notes, the "Notes") pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement. The Notes were issued at par in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement and pay interest semiannually on February 11th and August 11th until their respective maturities.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have off balance sheet arrangements other than its joint venture, IAGM, as disclosed in "Part IV. Item 8. Note 6. Investment in Unconsolidated Entities."

Cash provided by operating activities of $129.6 million and $125.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, was generated primarily from income from property operations. Cash provided by operating activities increased $3.8 million when comparing 2023 to 2022, primarily as a result of acquisition activity in excess of disposition activity and general fluctuations in working capital. Since January 1, 2022, we have acquired eleven retail properties and disposed of four retail properties.

•$95.1 million from distributions from unconsolidated entities,

•$12.6 million from the sale of investment properties, and

•$0.4 million from other investing activities.

Cash used in investing activities of $144.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, was primarily the result of:

•$235.0 million for acquisitions of investment properties,

•$33.2 million for capital investments and leasing costs, and

•$1.2 million for other investing cash outflows, which were partially offset by:

•$77.5 million from the sale of investment properties, and

•$47.4 million from distributions from unconsolidated entities.

Cash used in financing activities of $87.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, was primarily the result of:

•$33.8 million for pay-offs of debt, principal payments of mortgage debt, payment of loan fees and other deposits, and other financing activities,

•$57.5 million to pay distributions, and

•$1.6 million for the payment of tax withholdings for share-based compensation, which were partially offset by:

•$5.0 million from net proceeds from the sale of common stock under the ESPP and ATM.

Cash provided by financing activities of $111.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, was primarily the result of:

•$250.0 million from our issuance of senior notes, and

•$112.0 million drawn from our line of credit, which were partially offset by:

•$143.0 million repaid on our line of credit,

•$50.5 million for pay-offs of debt, debt prepayment penalties, principal payments of mortgage debt, payment of loan fees and other deposits, and other financing activities,

•$55.3 million to pay distributions, and

•$1.6 million for the payment of tax withholdings for share-based compensation.

We consider all demand deposits, money market accounts and investments in certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements with a maturity of three months or less, at the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents at major financial institutions. The combined account balances at one or more institutions generally exceed the FDIC insurance coverage. We periodically assess the credit risk associated with these financial institutions. We believe insignificant credit risk exists related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage.

Acquisitions and Dispositions of Real Estate Investments

In 2023, we acquired five retail properties for an aggregate gross acquisition price of $244.0 million. In 2022, we acquired six retail properties and an outparcel adjacent to an existing retail property for an aggregate gross acquisition price of $319.1 million.

In 2023, we disposed of one retail property and completed a partial condemnation at one retail property for an aggregate gross disposition price of $13.1 million. In 2022, we disposed of three retail properties for an aggregate gross disposition price of $110.5 million.

Inflation

With respect to current economic conditions and governmental fiscal policy, inflation has become a greater risk. Rising inflation may affect our and our tenants' expenses, including, without limitation, by increasing product prices and costs such as wages, benefits, taxes, property and casualty insurance, borrowing costs and utilities. We rely on the performance of our assets to increase revenues in order to keep pace with inflation. We may not be able to offset high rates of inflation through rent increases due to the long-term nature of some of our leases.

A number of our leases contain provisions designed to partially mitigate adverse impacts of inflation. Our leases typically require the tenant to pay its share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in these costs resulting from inflation, although some larger tenants have capped the amount of these operating costs they are responsible for. A portion of our leases also include clauses enabling us to receive percentage rents based on a tenant's gross sales above specified levels or rental escalation clauses which are typically based on increases in the Consumer Price Index or similar inflation indices.
