Forward-Looking Statements

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. NNN makes statements in this section that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. For a complete discussion of forward-looking statements, see the section in this report entitled “Forward-Looking Statements.” Certain risks may cause NNN's actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the following discussion. For a discussion of such risk factors, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

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.

NNN evaluates the creditworthiness of its significant current and prospective tenants. 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.

NNN continues to maintain its diversification by tenant, line of trade and geography. NNN's largest line of trade concentrations are the convenience store (17.0%), automotive service (16.9%), restaurant (16.2%) (including full and limited service) and family entertainment centers (7.2%) sectors. These sectors represent a large part of the freestanding retail property marketplace and NNN's management believes these sectors present attractive investment opportunities. The Property Portfolio is geographically concentrated in the southeast (25.5%) and south (24.7%) United States, which are regions of historically above-average population growth. Given these concentrations, any financial hardship within these sectors or geographic regions could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and operating performance of NNN.

28

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Property Portfolio remained at least 98 percent leased and had a weighted average remaining lease term of approximately 10 years. High occupancy levels coupled with a net lease structure, provides enhanced probability of achieving consistent operating results.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of NNN's consolidated financial statements in conformance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as well as other disclosures in the financial statements. Estimates are sensitive to evaluations by management about current and future expectations of market and economic conditions. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions; however, actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions, which in turn could have a material impact on NNN's consolidated financial statements. A summary of NNN's accounting policies and procedures is included in Note 1 of the December 31, 2024 Consolidated Financial Statements. Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect its more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of NNN's consolidated financial statements.

Real Estate Portfolio. NNN records the acquisition of real estate at cost, including acquisition and closing costs. The cost of properties developed or funded by NNN includes direct and indirect costs of construction, property taxes, interest, third-party costs and other miscellaneous costs incurred during the development period until the project is substantially complete and available for occupancy.

Purchase Accounting for Acquisition of Real Estate. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") guidance on business combinations, consideration for the real estate acquired is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and tenant improvements and, if applicable, to identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases and value of in-place leases, as applicable, based on their respective fair values.

The fair value estimate is sensitive to significant assumptions, such as establishing a range of relevant market assumptions for land, building and rent and where the acquired property falls within that range. These market assumptions for land, building and rent use the most relevant comparable properties for an acquisition. The final value relies upon ranking comparable properties' attributes from most to least similar.

Lease Accounting. NNN records its leases on the Property Portfolio in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases ("ASC 842").

NNN's real estate is typically leased to tenants under triple-net leases, whereby the tenant is responsible for all operating expenses relating to the Property, including utilities, real estate taxes and assessments, property and liability insurance, maintenance, repairs and capital expenditures.

NNN's Property Portfolio primarily consists of leases accounted for using the operating method. Under the operating method, revenue is recognized as rentals are earned and expenses (including depreciation) are charged to operations as incurred. When scheduled rentals vary during the lease term, income is recognized on a straight-line basis so as to produce a constant periodic rent over the term of the lease. Accrued rental income is the aggregate difference between the scheduled rents which vary during the lease term and the income recognized on a straight-line basis.

29

Collectability. In accordance with ASC 842, NNN reviews the collectability of its lease payments on an ongoing basis. NNN considers collectability indicators when analyzing accounts receivable (and accrued rent) and historical bad debt levels, tenant credit-worthiness and current economic trends, all of which assists in evaluating the probability of outstanding and future rental income collections and the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In addition, tenants in bankruptcy are analyzed and considerations are made in connection with the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition bankruptcy claims.

When NNN deems the collection of rental income from a tenant not probable, uncollected previously recognized rental revenue and any related accrued rent are reversed as a reduction to rental income and, subsequently, any rental income is only recognized when cash receipts are received. At this point, a tenant is deemed cash basis for accounting purposes. If NNN subsequently deems the collection of rental income is probable, any related accrued rental income or expense is restored.

NNN includes an allowance for doubtful accounts in rental income on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

Real Estate – Held For Sale. Real estate held for sale is not depreciated and is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, less cost to sell. On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates its Properties for held for sale classification based on specific criteria as outlined in FASB ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, including management's intent to commit to a plan to sell the asset. NNN anticipates the disposition of Properties classified as held for sale to occur within 12 months.

Impairment – Real Estate. 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. These indicators include, but are not limited to: changes in real estate market conditions, the ability of NNN to re-lease properties that are currently vacant or become vacant, properties reclassified as held for sale, persistent vacancies greater than one year, and properties leased to tenants in bankruptcy. Management evaluates whether an impairment in carrying value has occurred by comparing the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), and the residual value of the real estate, with the carrying value of the individual asset. The future undiscounted cash flows are primarily driven by estimated future market rents. Future cash flow estimates are sensitive to the assumptions made by management regarding future market rents, which are affected by expectations about future market and economic conditions. If an impairment is indicated, a loss will be recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value. NNN's Properties are leased primarily to retail tenants under long-term net leases and primarily held for investment. Generally, NNN's Property leases provide for initial terms of 10 to 20 years, with cash flows provided over the entire term.

Revenue Recognition. Rental revenues for properties under construction commence upon completion of construction of the leased asset and delivery of the leased asset to the tenant. Rental revenues for non-development real estate assets are recognized when earned in accordance with ASC 842, based on the terms of the lease of the leased asset. Lease termination fees are recognized when collected subsequent to the related lease that is cancelled and NNN no longer has continuing involvement with the former tenant with respect to that property.

FASB ASC Topic 610-20, Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets ("ASC 610-20"), provides guidance for recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets in contracts with noncustomers. An entity that transfers a nonfinancial asset in the scope of ASC 610-20 follows a two-step derecognition model to determine whether (and when) to derecognize the asset. NNN determined the key revenue stream impacted by ASC 610-20 is gain on disposition of real estate reported on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. In accordance with ASC 610-20, NNN evaluates any separate contracts or performance obligations to determine proper timing and/or amount of revenue recognition, as well as, transfer of control and transaction price allocation in determining the amount of gain or loss to record.

Results of Operations

Property Analysis

General. The following table summarizes the Property Portfolio as of December 31:

The following table summarizes the lease expirations, assuming none of the tenants exercise renewal options, of the Property Portfolio for each of the next 10 years and then thereafter in the aggregate as of December 31, 2024:

31

The following table summarizes the diversification of the Property Portfolio based on the top 20 lines of trade:

32

The following table summarizes the diversification of the Property Portfolio by state as of December 31, 2024:

Property Acquisitions. The following table summarizes the Property acquisitions for each of the years ended December 31 (dollars in thousands):

NNN typically funds Property acquisitions either through borrowings under NNN's Credit Facility (as defined in "Capital Structure – Line of Credit Payable"), by issuing its debt or equity securities in the capital markets, with undistributed funds from operations or with proceeds from the sale of Properties.

Property Dispositions. The following table summarizes the properties sold by NNN for each of the years ended December 31 (dollars in thousands):

NNN typically uses the disposition proceeds to either pay down the Credit Facility or reinvest in real estate.

33

Analysis of Revenues

The following summarizes NNN's revenues for each of the years ended December 31 (dollars in thousands):

Rental Income. Rental income increased for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023. The increase is primarily due to the Rental Revenues from NNN's recent Property acquisitions (see "Results of Operations – Property Analysis – Property Acquisitions").

Analysis of Expenses

The following summarizes NNN's expenses for the year ended December 31 (dollars in thousands):

34

Real Estate. Total real estate expenses increased for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023. NNN focuses on non-reimbursed real estate expenses (total real estate expenses, net of reimbursements from tenants). These expenses are typically attributable to (i) Properties for which the lease terms do not obligate the tenant to pay certain operating expenses or (ii) vacant Properties. Non-reimbursed real estate expenses increased in amount and as a percentage of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to a minor increase in the number of vacant properties.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased in amount for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023. The increase is primarily attributable to the increase in NNN's Property Portfolio from recent acquisitions (see "Results of Operations – Property Analysis – Property Acquisitions"), and is partially offset by recent dispositions (see "Results of Operations – Property Analysis – Property Dispositions").

Impairment Losses – Real Estate, Net of Recoveries. As a result of NNN's review of long-lived real estate assets, including identifiable intangible assets, NNN recognized real estate impairments, net of recoveries for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, which were less than one percent of NNN's total assets for the respective years as reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Due to NNN's core business of investing in real estate leased primarily to retail tenants under long-term net leases, the inherent risks of owning commercial real estate, and unknown potential changes in financial and economic conditions that may impact NNN's tenants, NNN believes it is reasonably possible to incur real estate impairment charges in the future.

Executive Retirement Costs. In April 2022, the former President and Chief Executive Officer retired from employment, as contemplated under the Company's long-term executive succession planning process and as previously announced in January 2022. In addition, in January 2024, the former Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary retired from employment as previously announced in November 2023. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, NNN recorded executive retirement costs in connection with the long-term incentive compensation related to these retirement and transition agreements.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. The following represents the primary changes in fixed rate long-term debt that impacted interest expense (dollars in thousands):

The increase in interest expense was partially offset by the Credit Facility having a weighted average outstanding balance of $60,775,000 with a weighted average interest rate of 6.25% for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to a weighted average outstanding balance of $169,620,000 with a weighted average interest rate of 5.86% for the year ended December 31, 2023.

35

Impact of Inflation

NNN's leases typically contain provisions to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation on NNN's results of operations. Tenant leases generally provide for limited increases in rent as a result of fixed increases, capped increases in the Consumer Price Index, and/or, to a lesser extent, increases in the tenant's sales volume. As a result of limitations on rent increases, during times when inflation is high, rent increases may not meet or exceed the rate of inflation.

Properties are leased to tenants under long-term triple-net leases which typically require the tenant to pay certain operating expenses for a Property, thus, NNN's exposure to inflation is reduced with respect to these expenses. Inflation may have an adverse impact on NNN's tenants and challenge their ability to meet lease obligations, including to pay rent. See "Item 1A. Risk Factors."

Liquidity and Capital Resources

NNN's demand for funds has been and will continue to be primarily for (i) payment of operating expenses and dividends, (ii) property acquisitions and construction commitments, (iii) capital expenditures, (iv) payment of principal and interest on its outstanding debt, and (v) other investments.

Financing Strategy. NNN's financing objective is to manage its capital structure effectively in order to provide sufficient capital to execute its operating and investing strategies while servicing its debt requirements, maintaining its investment grade credit rating, staggering debt maturities and providing value to NNN's stockholders. NNN's capital resources have and will continue to include, if available (i) proceeds from issuing debt or equity in the capital markets; (ii) secured or unsecured borrowings from banks or other lenders; (iii) proceeds from the sale of Properties; and (iv) to a lesser extent, by internally generated funds as well as undistributed funds from operations. However, there can be no assurance that additional financing or capital will be available, or that the terms will be acceptable or advantageous to NNN.

NNN typically expects to fund both its short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, including investments in additional properties, with cash and cash equivalents, cash provided from operations, borrowings from NNN's Credit Facility or proceeds from the sale of Properties. As of December 31, 2024, NNN had $9,062,000 of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash or cash held in escrow and $1,200,000,000 was available for future borrowings under the Credit Facility. NNN may also fund liquidity requirements with new debt or equity issuances, although newly issued debt may be at higher interest rates than the rates on NNN's existing outstanding debt. NNN has the ability to limit future property acquisitions and strategically increase property dispositions. NNN expects these sources of liquidity and the discretionary nature of its property acquisition funding needs will allow NNN to meet its financial obligations over the long term.

As of December 31, 2024, NNN's ratio of total debt, none of which was secured debt, to total gross assets (before accumulated depreciation and amortization) was approximately 40 percent. The ratio of total debt to total market capitalization was approximately 37 percent. Certain financial agreements to which NNN is a party contain covenants that limit NNN's ability to incur additional debt under certain circumstances. The organizational documents of NNN do not limit the absolute amount or percentage of debt that NNN may incur.

36

Cash Flows. NNN had $9,062,000 of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, of which $331,000 was restricted cash or cash held in escrow at December 31, 2024. The table below summarizes NNN's cash flows for each of the years ended December 31 (dollars in thousands):

Cash flow activities include:

Operating Activities. Cash provided by operating activities represents cash received primarily from rental income less cash used for general and administrative and interest expenses. NNN's cash flow from operating activities has been sufficient to pay the distributions for each year presented. The change in cash provided by operations for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, is primarily the result of changes in revenues and expenses as discussed in “Results of Operations.” Cash generated from operations is expected to fluctuate in the future.

Investing Activities. Changes in cash for investing activities are primarily attributable to acquisitions and dispositions of Properties as discussed in "Results of Operations - Property Analysis." NNN typically uses cash on hand, borrowings from its Credit Facility or proceeds from the sale of Properties to fund the acquisition of its Properties.

Financing Activities. NNN's financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024, included the following significant transactions:

•
$132,000,000 in net repayments of NNN's Credit Facility,

•
$489,390,000 in net proceeds from the issuance in May of the 5.500% notes payable due in June 2034,

•
$350,000,000 payment in June for the redemption of the 3.900% notes payable due in June 2024,

•
$211,619,000 from the issuance of 4,652,100 shares of common stock in connection with the at-the-market equity program ("ATM"),

•
$2,634,000 from the issuance of 64,654 shares of common stock in connection with the Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (“DRIP”), and

•
$420,239,000 in dividends paid to common stockholders.

37

Material Cash Requirements

NNN's material cash requirements include (i) long-term debt maturities; (ii) interest on long-term debt; (iii) common stock dividends (although all future distributions will be declared and paid at the discretion of the Board of Directors); and (iv) to a lesser extent, Property construction and other Property related costs that may arise.

The table presents material cash requirements related to NNN's long-term obligations outstanding as of December 31, 2024 (see "Capital Structure") (dollars in thousands):

Property Construction. NNN has committed to fund construction of 15 Properties. The improvements of such Properties are estimated to be completed within 12 to 18 months. These construction commitments, at December 31, 2024, are outlined in the table below (dollars in thousands):

Management anticipates satisfying these obligations with a combination of NNN's cash provided from operations, current capital resources on hand, its Credit Facility, debt or equity financings and property dispositions.

Properties. Typically, the Properties are leased under long-term triple-net leases, which require the tenant to pay all utilities and real estate taxes and assessments, to maintain the interior and exterior of the Property, and to carry property and liability insurance coverage. Therefore, management anticipates that capital demands to meet obligations with respect to these Properties will be modest for the foreseeable future and can be met with funds from operations and working capital. Certain Properties are subject to leases under which NNN retains responsibility for specific costs and expenses associated with the Property. Management anticipates the costs associated with these Properties, NNN's vacant Properties or those Properties that become vacant will also be met with funds from operations and working capital. NNN may be required to borrow under its Credit Facility or use other sources of capital in the event of significant capital expenditures or major repairs.

The lost revenues and increased property expenses resulting from vacant Properties or the inability to collect lease payments could have a material adverse effect on the liquidity and results of operations if NNN is unable to re-lease the Properties at comparable rental rates and in a timely manner.

As of December 31, 2024, NNN owned 54 vacant, un-leased Properties which accounted for less than two percent of total Properties and approximately two percent of aggregate gross leasable area held in the Property Portfolio.

38

Additionally, as of January 31, 2025, less than one percent of total annualized base rent, less than one percent of total Properties, and less than one percent of aggregate gross leasable area held in the Property Portfolio, was leased to three tenants currently in bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. As a result, these tenants have the right to reject or affirm their leases with NNN.

NNN generally monitors the financial performance of its significant tenants on an ongoing basis.

Dividends. One of NNN's primary objectives is to distribute a substantial portion of its funds available from operations to its stockholders in the form of dividends, while retaining sufficient cash for reserves and working capital purposes and maintaining its status as a REIT.

The following table outlines the dividends declared and paid for NNN's common stock for the years ended December 31 (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

The following table presents the characterizations for tax purposes of NNN's common stock dividends for the years ended December 31:

On January 14, 2025, NNN declared a dividend of $0.580 per share, payable February 14, 2025, to its common stockholders of record as of January 31, 2025.

Capital Structure

NNN has used, and expects to use in the future, various forms of debt and equity securities primarily to fund property acquisitions and construction on its Properties and to pay down or refinance its outstanding debt.

The following is a summary of NNN's total outstanding debt as of December 31 (dollars in thousands):

39

Line of Credit Payable. In April 2024, NNN amended and restated its credit agreement to increase borrowing capacity under its unsecured revolving credit facility from $1,100,000,000 to $1,200,000,000 and amended certain other terms under the former revolving credit facility (as the context requires, the previous and new credit facility, the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility had a weighted average outstanding balance of $60,775,000 and a weighted average interest rate of 6.25% during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Credit Facility has a base interest rate of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a SOFR adjustment of 10 basis points ("Adjusted SOFR"). The Credit Facility bears interest at Adjusted SOFR plus 77.5 basis points; however, such interest rate may change pursuant to a tiered interest rate structure based on NNN's debt rating. Additionally, as part of NNN's environmental, social and governance ("ESG") initiative, pricing may be reduced if specified ESG metrics are achieved. The Credit Facility matures in April 2028, unless the Company exercises its options to extend maturity to April 2029. The Credit Facility also includes an accordion feature which permits NNN to increase the facility size up to $2,000,000,000, subject to lender approval. In connection with the Credit Facility, loan costs are classified as debt costs on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of December 31, 2024, there was no outstanding balance and $1,200,000,000 was available for future borrowings under the Credit Facility.

In accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility, NNN is required to meet certain restrictive financial covenants, which, among other things, require NNN to maintain certain (i) leverage ratios, (ii) debt service coverage, (iii) cash flow coverage, and (iv) investment limitations. At December 31, 2024, NNN was in compliance with those covenants. In the event that NNN violates any of these restrictive financial covenants, it could cause the debt under the Credit Facility to be accelerated and may impair NNN's access to the debt and equity markets and limit NNN's ability to pay dividends to its stockholders, each of which would likely have a material adverse impact on NNN's financial condition and results of operations.

Universal Shelf Registration Statement. In August 2023, NNN filed a shelf registration statement with the Commission which became automatically effective (“Universal Shelf”). The Universal Shelf permits the issuance by NNN of an indeterminate amount of debt and equity securities, including preferred stock, depositary shares, common stock, stock purchase contracts, rights, warrants and units. NNN may periodically offer one of more of these securities in amounts, prices and on terms to be announced when and if these securities are offered. The specifics of any future offerings along with the use of proceeds of any securities offered, will be described in detail in a prospectus supplements, or other offering materials, at the time of any offering.

40

Debt Securities – Notes Payable. Each of NNN's outstanding series of unsecured notes is summarized in the table below (dollars in thousands):

NNN entered into forward starting swaps which hedged the risk of changes in forecasted interest payments on the forecasted issuance of long-term debt. Upon the issuance of a series of unsecured notes, NNN terminated such derivatives as outlined in the following table (dollars in thousands):

Each series of the notes represents senior, unsecured obligations of NNN and is subordinated to all secured debt of NNN. NNN may redeem each series of notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the par call date for the notes at the redemption price as set forth in the applicable supplemental indenture relating to the notes; provided, however, that if NNN redeems the notes on or after the par call date, the redemption price will equal 100 percent of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

41

In connection with the outstanding note offerings, NNN incurred debt issuance costs totaling $43,820,000 consisting primarily of underwriting discounts and commissions, legal and accounting fees, rating agency fees and printing expenses. Debt issuance costs for all note issuances have been deferred and presented as a reduction to notes payable and are being amortized over the term of the respective notes using the effective interest method.

In accordance with the terms of the indentures pursuant to which NNN's notes have been issued, NNN is required to meet certain restrictive financial covenants, which, among other things, require NNN to maintain (i) certain leverage ratios, and (ii) certain interest coverage. At December 31, 2024, NNN was in compliance with those covenants. NNN's failure to comply with certain of its debt covenants could result in defaults that accelerate the payment under such debt and limit the dividends paid to NNN's stockholders which would likely have a material adverse impact on NNN's financial condition and results of operations. In addition, these defaults could impair its access to the debt and equity markets.

NNN does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes or currently have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges. NNN had no derivative financial instruments outstanding at December 31, 2024.

Equity Securities

At-The-Market Offerings. NNN has established an ATM which allows NNN to sell shares of common stock from time to time. The following table outlines NNN's ATM:

The following table outlines the common stock issuances pursuant to NNN's ATM for the years ended December 31 (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan. In February 2024, NNN filed a shelf registration statement for its DRIP with the Commission that was automatically effective, and permits NNN to issue up to 4,000,000 shares of common stock. NNN's DRIP provides an economical and convenient way for current stockholders and other interested new investors to invest in NNN's common stock. The following outlines the common stock issuances pursuant to NNN's DRIP for the years ended December 31 (dollars in thousands):
