The contractual lease
expirations presented above exclude the effect of replacement
tenant leases that had been executed as of September 30, 2023 but

of rounding.

(1)
|
Annualized Base Rent
represents the annualized amount of contractual minimum rent
required by tenant lease agreements as of September 30, 2023,
computed on a straight-line basis. Annualized Base Rent is not, and
is not intended to be, a presentation in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The Company believes
annualized contractual minimum rent is useful to management,
investors, and other interested parties in analyzing concentrations
and leasing activity.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking
statements, including statements about projected financial
and operating results, within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Company intends such
forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor
provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and includes this
statement for purposes of complying with these safe harbor
provisions. Forward-looking statements are generally
identifiable by use of forward-looking terminology such as "may,"
"will," "should," "potential," "intend," "expect," "seek,"
"anticipate," "estimate," "approximately," "believe," "could,"
"project," "predict," "forecast," "continue," "assume," "plan,"
"outlook" or other similar words or expressions. Forward-looking
statements are based on certain assumptions and can include future
expectations, future plans and strategies, financial and operating
projections or other forward-looking information. Although
these forward-looking statements are based on good faith beliefs,
reasonable assumptions and the Company's best judgment reflecting
current information, you should not rely on forward-looking
statements since they involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond
the Company's control and which could materially affect the
Company's results of operations, financial condition, cash flows,
performance or future achievements or events. Currently, some of
the most significant factors, include the potential adverse effect
of ongoing worldwide economic uncertainties and increased inflation
and interest rates on the financial condition, results of
operations, cash flows and performance of the Company and its
tenants, the real estate market and the global economy and
financial markets. The extent to which these conditions will impact
the Company and its tenants will depend on future developments,
which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence.
Moreover, investors are cautioned to interpret many of the risks
identified in the risk factors discussed in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K and subsequent quarterly reports filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), as well as the
risks set forth below, as being heightened as a result of the
ongoing and numerous adverse impacts of the macroeconomic
environment. Additional important factors, among others, that may
cause the Company's actual results to vary include the general
deterioration in national economic conditions, weakening of real
estate markets, decreases in the availability of credit, increases
in interest rates, adverse changes in the retail industry, the
Company's continuing ability to qualify as a REIT and other factors
discussed in the Company's reports filed with the SEC. The
forward-looking statements included in this press release are made
as of the date hereof. Unless legally required, the
Company disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events,
changes in the Company's expectations or assumptions or
otherwise.
For further information about the Company's business and
financial results, please refer to the "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and
"Risk Factors" sections of the Company's SEC filings, including,
but not limited to, its Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q, copies of which may be obtained at the
Investor Relations section of the Company's website at
www.agreerealty.com.
The Company defines the "weighted-average capitalization
rate" for acquisitions and dispositions as the sum of contractual
fixed annual rents computed on a straight-line basis over the
primary lease terms and anticipated annual net tenant recoveries,
divided by the purchase and sale prices for occupied
properties.
References to "Core FFO" and "AFFO" in this press release are
representative of Core FFO attributable to OP common unitholders
and AFFO attributable to OP common unitholders. Detailed
calculations for these measures are shown in the Reconciliation of
Net Income to FFO, Core FFO and Adjusted FFO table as "Core Funds
From Operations – OP Common Unitholders" and "Adjusted Funds from
Operations – OP Common Unitholders".

Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
Funds from
Operations ("FFO" or "Nareit FFO")
FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trusts, Inc. ("Nareit") to mean net income computed in
accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of
real estate assets and/or changes in control, plus real estate
related depreciation and amortization and any impairment charges on
depreciable real estate assets, and after adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Historical cost
accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP
implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes
predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have
historically risen or fallen with market conditions, most real
estate industry investors consider FFO to be helpful in evaluating
a real estate company's operations. FFO should not be considered an
alternative to net income as the primary indicator of the Company's
operating performance, or as an alternative to cash flow as a
measure of liquidity. Further, while the Company adheres to the
Nareit definition of FFO, its presentation of FFO is not
necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs
due to the fact that all REITs may not use the same definition.
Core Funds from
Operations ("Core FFO")
The Company defines Core FFO as Nareit FFO with the addback of (i)
noncash amortization of acquisition purchase price related to
above- and below- market lease intangibles and discount on assumed
debt and (ii) certain infrequently occurring items that reduce or
increase net income in accordance with GAAP. Management believes
that its measure of Core FFO facilitates useful comparison of
performance to its peers who predominantly transact in
sale-leaseback transactions and are thereby not required by GAAP to
allocate purchase price to lease intangibles. Unlike many of its
peers, the Company has acquired the substantial majority of its
net-leased properties through acquisitions of properties from third
parties or in connection with the acquisitions of ground leases
from third parties. Core FFO should not be considered an
alternative to net income as the primary indicator of the Company's
operating performance, or as an alternative to cash flow as a
measure of liquidity. Further, the Company's presentation of Core
FFO is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of
other REITs due to the fact that all REITs may not use the same
definition.
Adjusted Funds from
Operations ("AFFO") AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure of
operating performance used by many companies in the REIT industry.
AFFO further adjusts FFO and Core FFO for certain non-cash items
that reduce or increase net income computed in accordance with
GAAP. Management considers AFFO a useful supplemental measure of
the Company's performance, however, AFFO should not be considered
an alternative to net income as an indication of its performance,
or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity or ability to make
distributions. 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDAre
EBITDAre is defined by
Nareit to mean net income computed in accordance with GAAP, plus
interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and
amortization, any gains (or losses) from sales of real estate
assets and/or changes in control, any impairment charges on
depreciable real estate assets, and after adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company
considers the non-GAAP measure of EBITDAre to be a key supplemental
measure of the Company's performance and should be considered along
with, but not as an alternative to, net income or loss as a measure
of the Company's operating performance. The Company considers
EBITDAre a key supplemental measure of the Company's operating
performance because it provides an additional supplemental measure
of the Company's performance and operating cash flow that is widely
known by industry analysts, lenders and investors. The Company's
calculation of EBITDAre may not be comparable to EBITDAre reported
by other REITs that interpret the Nareit definition differently
than the Company.
Recurring
EBITDA
The Company defines
Recurring EBITDA as EBITDAre with the addback of noncash
amortization of above- and below- market lease intangibles, and
after adjustments for the run-rate impact of the Company's
investment and disposition activity for the period presented, as
well as adjustments for non-recurring benefits or expenses. The
Company considers the non-GAAP measure of Recurring EBITDA to be a
key supplemental measure of the Company's performance and should be
considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income or
loss as a measure of the Company's operating performance. The
Company considers Recurring EBITDA a key supplemental measure of
the Company's operating performance because it represents the
Company's earnings run rate for the period presented and because it
is widely followed by industry analysts, lenders and
investors. Our Recurring EBITDA may not be comparable to
Recurring EBITDA reported by other companies that have a different
interpretation of the definition of Recurring EBITDA. Our ratio of
net debt to Recurring EBITDA is used by management as a measure of
leverage and may be useful to investors in understanding the
Company's ability to service its debt, as well as assess the
borrowing capacity of the Company. Our ratio of net debt to
Recurring EBITDA is calculated by taking annualized Recurring
EBITDA and dividing it by our net debt per the consolidated balance
sheet.
Net Debt
The Company defines Net
Debt as total debt less cash, cash equivalents and cash held in
escrows. The Company considers the non-GAAP measure of Net Debt to
be a key supplemental measure of the Company's overall liquidity,
capital structure and leverage. The Company considers Net Debt a
key supplemental measure because it provides industry analysts,
lenders and investors useful information in understanding our
financial condition. The Company's calculation of Net Debt may not
be comparable to Net Debt reported by other REITs that interpret
the definition differently than the Company. The Company
presents Net Debt on both an actual and proforma basis, assuming
the net proceeds of the Forward Offerings (see below) are used to
pay down debt. The Company believes the proforma measure may be
useful to investors in understanding the potential effect of the
Forward Offerings on the Company's capital structure, its future
borrowing capacity, and its ability to service its debt.

(1) The Company adopted
Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards
Codification ("FASB ASC") 842 "Leases" using the modified
retrospective approach as of January 1, 2019. The Company
adopted the practical expedient in FASB ASC 842 that alleviates the
requirement to separately present lease and non-lease components of
lease contracts. As a result, all income earned pursuant to tenant
leases is reflected as one line, "Rental Income," in the
consolidated statement of operations. The purpose of this
table is to provide additional supplementary detail of Rental
Income.
(2) Represents
contractual rentals and/or reimbursements as required by tenant
lease agreements, recognized on an accrual basis of
accounting. The Company believes that the presentation of
contractual lease income is not, and is not intended to be, a
presentation in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes this
information is frequently used by management, investors, analysts
and other interested parties to evaluate the Company's
performance.
(3) Represents
adjustments to recognize minimum rents on a straight-line basis,
consistent with the requirements of FASB ASC 842.
(4) In allocating the
fair value of an acquired property, above- and below-market lease
intangibles are recorded based on the present value of the
difference between the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to
the leases at the time of acquisition and the Company's estimate of
current market lease rates for the property.
