Comments on Manufacturing Super Cycle

Modiv Industrial, Inc. ("Modiv Industrial" or "Modiv") (NYSE:MDV), as the only public REIT exclusively focused on acquiring industrial manufacturing real estate, wishes to publicly celebrate National Manufacturing Day (www.mfgday.com) in recognition of the strength of the U.S. manufacturing industry and the thousands of hard working Americans that make products that are vital to all of us.

In a recent research report written by Joseph P. Quinlan, head of CIO Market Strategy at Merrill and Bank of America Private Bank, Mr. Quinlan noted that the U.S. is in the early stages of a manufacturing super cycle. Over the last decade the reshoring of critical manufacturing capabilities has accelerated dramatically, resulting in the creation of over 2 million jobs and $189 billion annual spending on the construction of manufacturing facilities in the U.S., a rate triple that from the 2010s. With the recent increase in both domestic infrastructure bills and foreign direct investment, the continued renewal of U.S. manufacturing is poised to extend throughout the next decade.

"Despite the current risk-off market environment, we see a meaningful longer-term economic J-curve surrounding and supporting the thesis for manufacturing. Given our focus on acquiring manufacturing facilities that make infrastructure-focused components critical to our nation rather than the whims of consumer discretionary demand, Modiv Industrial is uniquely positioned in terms of both growth and value to benefit from the continued resurgence of U.S. manufacturing," stated Aaron Halfacre, Modiv's CEO. "The economic reality already exists as it pertains to the demand for increased supply chain security, the trend of reshoring and the evidence of large aggregate spending; however, it is the awareness of this existing reality that has only really begun to enter the purview of the investor. I commend the efforts of Rosemary Coates, at the Reshoring Institute, and Harry Moser, at the Reshoring Initiative, for their tireless non-partisan work to champion for, and raise awareness of, the U.S. manufacturing industry."

"Setting aside these positive economic and financial trends, Modiv Industrial would still choose to invest in manufacturing because we sincerely believe that investing in hard working Americans is a no-lose proposition and any investment that strengthens our nation is a worthy endeavor," continued Halfacre. "My father spent his career as a maintenance supervisor for manufacturing facilities across our nation and it was that job that fed and housed our family. I wouldn't be here today, in part, if it weren't for his hard work. Too often we get caught up in the numbers and the money; in celebration of MFG Day, I choose to remember that each of us has benefited from honest hard work."

Modiv Industrial wishes to raise the awareness of the organizations that we support and who, in turn, support the manufacturing industry. To learn more about reshoring please visit www.reshoringinstitute.org and www.reshoringinitiative.org.
