Note 2 – Real Estate:

Real Estate – Portfolio

Leases – At December 31, 2022, NNN's real estate portfolio has a weighted average remaining lease term of 10.4 years and consisted of 3,430 leases classified as operating leases and an additional five leases accounted for as direct financing leases.

The following is a summary of the general structure of the leases in the Property Portfolio, although the specific terms of each lease can vary significantly. Generally, the Property leases provide for initial terms of 10 to 20 years. The Properties are generally leased under net leases, pursuant to which the tenant typically bears responsibility for substantially all property costs and expenses associated with ongoing maintenance, repair, replacement and operation of the property, including utilities, property taxes and property and liability insurance. Certain Properties are subject to leases under which NNN retains responsibility for specific costs and expenses of the Property. NNN's leases provide for annual base rental payments (generally payable in monthly installments), and generally provide for limited increases in rent as a result of (i) increases in the Consumer Price Index, (ii) fixed increases, or, to a lesser extent, (iii) increases in the tenant’s sales volume.

Generally, NNN's leases provide the tenant with one or more multi-year renewal options, subject to generally the same terms and conditions provided under the initial lease term, including rent increases. NNN’s lease term is based on the non-cancellable base term unless economic incentives make it reasonably certain that an option period to extend the lease will be exercised, in which event NNN includes the renewal options. Some of the leases also provide that in the event NNN wishes to sell the Property subject to that lease, NNN first must offer the lessee the right to purchase the Property on the same terms and conditions as any offer which NNN intends to accept for the sale of the Property.

Some leases provide for a free rent period or scheduled rent increases throughout the lease term. Such amounts are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases.

During 2021 and 2020, NNN entered into rent deferral lease amendments with certain tenants, for an aggregate $4,758,000 and $52,019,000 of rent originally due for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The rent deferral lease amendments require the deferred rents to be repaid at a later time during the lease term. An aggregate of approximately 87 percent of deferred rent has been repaid, with $14,526,000, $31,776,000 and $3,259,000 of deferred rent repaid during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The remaining deferred rents are substantially due periodically by December 31, 2023.

For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, NNN recognized ($3,559,000), ($21,137,000) and $26,027,000, respectively, of net-straight-line accrued rental income, net of reserves. Included in accrued rental income are the net impacts of the rent deferred and corresponding scheduled repayments from the lease amendments NNN entered into as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, NNN recorded ($5,391,000), ($24,945,000) and $30,473,000, respectively, of net accrued rental income related to such amendments.

Additionally, as a result of reclassifying certain tenants as cash basis for accounting purposes during the year ended December 31, 2020, NNN wrote-off approximately $16,367,000 of accrued rental income for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Since lease renewal periods are exercisable at the option of the tenant, the above table only presents undiscounted cash flows due during the current lease terms. In addition, this table does not include amounts for potential variable rent increases that are based on the CPI or future contingent rents which may be received on the leases based on a percentage of the tenant’s sales volume.

Real Estate – Intangibles

The amounts amortized as a net increase to rental income for capitalized above-market and below-market leases for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were $510,000, $710,000 and $887,000, respectively. The value of in-place leases amortized to expense for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $7,132,000, $7,687,000 and $8,304,000, respectively.

Real Estate – Dispositions

Real Estate – Commitments

As of December 31, 2022, NNN has committed to fund construction of 19 Properties. The improvements of such Properties are estimated to be completed within 12 months. These construction commitments, at December 31, 2022, are outlined in the table below (dollars in thousands):

Real Estate – Impairments

NNN periodically assesses its long-lived real estate assets for possible impairment whenever certain events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable.

The valuation of impaired assets is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis, income capitalization, analysis of recent comparable sales transactions, actual sales negotiations and bona fide purchase offers received from third parties, which are Level 3 inputs. NNN may consider a single valuation technique or multiple valuation techniques, as appropriate, when estimating the fair value of its real estate.
