Overview

NNN, a Maryland corporation, is a fully integrated real estate investment trust ("REIT") formed in 1984. NNN's assets are primarily real estate assets. NNN acquires, owns, invests in and develops properties that are leased primarily to retail tenants under long-term net leases and are primarily held for investment ("Properties," or "Property Portfolio," or individually a "Property").

As of December 31, 2024, NNN owned 3,568 Properties in 49 states, with an aggregate gross leasable area of approximately 36,557,000 square feet, and a weighted average remaining lease term of 10 years. Approximately 98 percent of the Properties were leased as of December 31, 2024.

NNN's management team focuses on certain key indicators to evaluate the financial condition and operating performance of NNN. Key indicators include items such as: the composition of the Property Portfolio (such as tenant, line of trade and geographic diversification), the occupancy rate of the Property Portfolio, certain financial performance metrics and profitability measures, industry trends and industry performance compared to that of NNN.

This evaluation may include reviewing available financial statements, store level financial performance, press releases, public credit ratings from major credit rating agencies, industry news publications and financial market data (debt and equity pricing). NNN may also evaluate the business and operations of its significant tenants, including past payment history and periodically meeting with senior management of certain tenants.
