earnings per common share would have been $0.50 and $2.13, FFO per
common share would have been $0.80 and $3.21 and Core FFO would
have been $0.82 and $3.23 for the quarter and year ended December
31, 2023, respectively.

The company announced 2024 Core FFO guidance of $3.25 to $3.31 per
share. The 2024 AFFO is estimated to be $3.29 to $3.35 per
share. The Core FFO guidance equates to net earnings of
$1.94 to $2.00 per share, plus $1.31 per share of expected real estate
depreciation and amortization and excludes any gains from the sale
of real estate, charges for impairments and executive retirement
costs. The guidance is based on current plans and assumptions and
subject to risks and uncertainties more fully described in this
press release and the company's reports filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
Steve Horn, Chief Executive
Officer, commented: "NNN continues to execute with
excellence. In 2023, we grew Core FFO 3.8 percent, deployed
over $800 million of capital in new
real estate investments and successfully executed the NNN REIT name
change and branding campaign. 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."
NNN REIT invests primarily in high-quality retail properties
subject generally to long-term, net leases. As of
December 31, 2023, the company owned 3,532 properties in 49
states with a gross leasable area of approximately 36.0 million
square feet and a weighted average remaining lease term of 10.1
years. NNN is one of only three publicly traded REITs to have
increased annual dividends for 34 or more consecutive years. For
more information on the company, visit www.nnnreit.com.
Management will hold a conference call on February 8, 2024, at 10:30
a.m. ET to review these results. The call can be
accessed on the NNN REIT website live at
http://www.nnnreit.com. For those unable to listen to the
live broadcast, a replay will be available on the company's
website. In addition, a summary of any earnings guidance
given on the call will be posted to the company's web site.
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.

During the quarter
ended December 31, 2023, one tenant was reclassified to accrual
basis for accounting purposes due to their improved qualitative
and/or quantitative credit factors, which resulted in an increase
of accrued rent in the amount of $5,573. Excluding such, FFO per
common share would have been $0.80 and $3.21 and Core FFO would
have been $0.82 and $3.23 for the quarter and year ended December
31, 2023, respectively.
