Insights

Financial Analyst

The reported increase in Net Earnings Per Common Share by 14.3% and FFO (Funds From Operations) per common share by 4.5% for NNN REIT is a strong indicator of the company's operational efficiency and profitability. This performance is particularly noteworthy against the backdrop of a challenging capital market environment, suggesting a robust underlying business model. The company's strategy of maintaining high occupancy levels, coupled with the disciplined capital deployment in new real estate investments, has likely contributed to this solid financial performance.

Furthermore, the consistent increase in annual dividends, marking the 34th consecutive year, positions NNN REIT as a reliable income-generating investment. This is significant for income-focused investors, especially given the company's track record of exceeding industry equity averages in terms of shareholder returns over multiple time frames. However, investors should also consider the potential risks associated with the retail property sector, including shifts in consumer behavior and the impact of e-commerce, when evaluating the long-term sustainability of these dividends.

Real Estate Investment Trust Analyst

The strategic moves by NNN REIT, such as the acquisition of 165 properties with an average lease term of 18.8 years and the sale of 45 properties at a cap rate of 5.9%, reflect a proactive approach to portfolio optimization. The initial cash cap rate figures reported for acquisitions and disposals indicate the expected rate of return on these properties and are a crucial metric for assessing the investment's profitability. The cap rates suggest a favorable comparison to industry norms, considering the current interest rate environment.

Additionally, the high occupancy rate of 99.5% and the weighted average remaining lease term of 10.1 years provide a stable income outlook and mitigate tenant turnover risks. This stability is essential for the REIT's capacity to sustain and grow dividends. The company's guidance for 2024, with projected increases in Core FFO and AFFO, signals confidence in continued operational strength. However, the guidance should be viewed cautiously, as it is subject to various market risks, including economic downturns and interest rate volatility, which could affect property values and leasing activities.

Market Research Analyst

The reported performance of NNN REIT can serve as a bellwether for the broader retail real estate market, indicating resilience despite broader economic uncertainties. The company's ability to raise capital through the issuance of common shares and senior unsecured notes speaks to investor confidence and the attractiveness of its financial instruments. The weighted average debt maturity of 12.0 years is a testament to the company's strategic financial management, reducing near-term refinancing risks and providing a cushion against interest rate fluctuations.

Investors should note the company's multi-year strategic outlook, which, combined with a conservative leverage profile, positions it to navigate the cyclical nature of the real estate market effectively. However, the retail sector's ongoing evolution due to technological advancements and changing consumer preferences remains a critical factor to monitor, as it could impact the long-term performance of retail-focused REITs like NNN.

We ended the year with $132.0 million drawn on our $1.1 billion credit facility, accentuating our ability to raise capital and generate strong free cash flow and proceeds from selective asset dispositions, even in a challenging capital market environment.  NNN maintains a multi-year view and is well-positioned to execute the 2024 strategy."

Statements in this press release that are not strictly historical are "forward-looking" statements.  These statements generally are characterized by the use of terms such as "believe," "expect," "intend," "may," "estimated," or other similar words or expressions. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, which may cause the company's actual future results to differ materially from expected results.  These risks include, among others, general economic conditions, including inflation, local real estate conditions, changes in interest rates, increases in operating costs, the preferences and financial condition of the company's tenants, the availability of capital, risks related to the company's status as a REIT and the potential impacts of an epidemic or pandemic on the company's business operations, financial results and financial position on the world economy. Additional information concerning these and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements is contained from time to time in the company's Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") filings, including, but not limited to, the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Copies of each filing may be obtained from the company or the Commission.  Such forward-looking statements should be regarded solely as reflections of the company's current operating plans and estimates.  Actual operating results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in this press release.  NNN REIT, Inc. undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date these statements were made.

Funds From Operations, commonly referred to as "FFO", is a relative non-GAAP financial measure of operating performance of an equity REIT in order to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP.  FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") and is used by the company as follows:  net earnings (computed in accordance with GAAP) plus depreciation and amortization of assets unique to the real estate industry, excluding gains (or including losses), any applicable taxes and noncontrolling interests on the disposition of certain assets, the company's share of these items from the company's noncontrolling interests and any impairment charges on a depreciable real estate asset.

FFO is generally considered by industry analysts to be the most appropriate measure of performance of real estate companies.  FFO does not necessarily represent cash provided by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net earnings as an indication of the company's performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions.  Management considers FFO an appropriate measure of performance of an equity REIT because it primarily excludes the assumption that the value of the real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, and because industry analysts have accepted it as a performance measure.  The company's computation of FFO may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO used by other equity REITs, and therefore, may not be comparable to such other REITs.  A reconciliation of net earnings (computed in accordance with GAAP) to FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is included in the financial information accompanying this release.

Core Funds From Operations ("Core FFO") is a non-GAAP measure of operating performance that adjusts FFO to eliminate the impact of certain GAAP income and expense amounts that the company believes are infrequent and unusual in nature and/or not related to its core real estate operations.  Exclusion of these items from similar FFO-type metrics is common within the REIT industry, and management believes that presentation of Core FFO provides investors with a potential metric to assist in their evaluation of the company's operating performance across multiple periods and in comparison to the operating performance of its peers because it removes the effect of unusual items that are not expected to impact the company's operating performance on an ongoing basis.  Core FFO is used by management in evaluating the performance of the company's core business operations and is a factor in determining management compensation.  Items included in calculating FFO that may be excluded in calculating Core FFO may include items such as transaction related gains, income or expense, impairments on land or commercial mortgage residual interests, executive retirement costs, or other non-core amounts as they occur.   The company's computation of Core FFO may differ from the methodology for calculating Core FFO used by other equity REITs, and therefore, may not be comparable to such other REITs. A reconciliation of net earnings (computed in accordance with GAAP) to Core FFO is included in the financial information accompanying this release.

Adjusted Funds From Operations ("AFFO") is a non-GAAP financial measure of operating performance used by many companies in the REIT industry. AFFO adjusts FFO for certain non-cash items that reduce or increase net income in accordance with GAAP.  AFFO should not be considered an alternative to net earnings, as an indication of the company's performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions. Management considers AFFO a useful supplemental measure of the company's performance.  The company's computation of AFFO may differ from the methodology for calculating AFFO used by other equity REITs, and therefore, may not be comparable to such other REITs.  A reconciliation of net earnings (computed in accordance with GAAP) to AFFO is included in the financial information accompanying this release.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate as defined by NAREIT ("EBITDA") is a metric established by NAREIT and commonly used by real estate companies. The measure is a result of net earnings (computed in accordance with GAAP), plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, excluding any gains (or including any losses) on disposition of real estate, any impairment charges and after adjustments for income and losses attributable to noncontrolling interests. Management considers the non-GAAP measure of EBITDA to be an appropriate measure of the company's performance and should be considered in addition to, net earnings or loss, as a measure of the company's operating performance. The company's computation of EBITDA may differ from the methodology for calculating EBITDA used by other equity REITs, and therefore, may not be comparable to such other REITs. A reconciliation of net earnings (computed in accordance with GAAP) to EBITDA, as defined by NAREIT, is included in the company's Annual Supplemental Data accompanying this release.
