The Company

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's consolidated financial statements are included in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The common shares of NNN REIT, Inc. are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") under the ticker symbol "NNN." 

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

Competition

NNN faces active competition from many sources, both domestically and internationally, for net-lease investment opportunities in commercial real estate. Competitors may be willing to accept rates of return, prices, lease terms, other transaction terms, or levels of risk that NNN finds unacceptable.

Qualification as a REIT

NNN has made an election to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and related regulations and intends to continue to operate so as to remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. NNN generally will not be subject to federal income taxes on taxable income it distributes to stockholders, provided it meets certain other requirements for qualifying as a REIT. If NNN fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four years following the year during which qualification is lost. Such an event could materially adversely affect NNN's income and ability to pay dividends. NNN believes it has been structured as, and its past and present operations qualify NNN as, a REIT.
