Explanatory Note and Certain Defined Terms
Unless the context otherwise requires, the following terms and phrases are used throughout this MD&A as described below:
• “annualized base rent” or “ABR” means the annualized contractual cash rent due for the last month of the reporting period, excluding the impacts of short-term rent deferrals, abatements, or free rent, and adjusted to remove rent from properties sold during the month and to include a full month of contractual cash rent for investments made during the month;
• “investments” or amounts “invested” include real estate investments in new property acquisitions, revenue generating capital expenditures, whereby we agree to fund certain expenditures in exchange for increased rents that often include rent escalations and terms consistent with that of the underlying lease, build-to-suit developments, and transitional capital, which represent shorter term investments and currently includes preferred equity investments, and exclude capitalized costs;
• “cash capitalization rate” represents either (1) for acquisitions and new build-to-suit developments, our pro-rata share of the estimated first year cash yield to be generated on a real estate investment, which was estimated at the time of investment based on the contractually specified cash base rent for the first full year after the date of the investment, divided by the purchase price for the property excluding capitalized acquisition costs, or (2) for dispositions, the property’s ABR in effect immediately prior to the disposition, divided by the disposition price, or (3) for transitional capital, the contractual cash yield to be generated on total invested capital;
• “CPI” means the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U): U.S. City Average, All Items, as published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, or other similar index which is a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services;
• “occupancy” or a specified percentage of our portfolio that is “occupied” or “leased” means as of a specified date the quotient of (1) the total rentable square footage of our properties minus the square footage of our properties that are vacant and from which we are not receiving any rental payment, and (2) the total square footage of our properties;
• “Revolving Credit Facility” means our $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, dated February 28, 2025, with J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto; and
• “straight-line yield” represents our pro-rata share of the estimated first year yield to be generated on a real estate investment, which was computed at the time of investment based on the straight-line annual rental income computed in accordance with GAAP, divided by the purchase price.
Overview
We are an industrial-focused, diversified net lease real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that invests in primarily single-tenant commercial real estate properties that are net leased on a long-term basis to a diversified group of tenants. As of September 30, 2025, our portfolio includes 759 properties, with 752 properties located in 44 U.S. states and seven properties located in four Canadian provinces.
We expect to achieve growth in revenues and earnings through our four core building blocks, which are (1) embedded same store net operating income growth through best-in-class portfolio rent escalations, stable rent collections, minimal credit losses, strong lease rollover outcomes, and accretive recycling, (2) revenue generating capital expenditures with existing tenants, (3) build-to-suit developments, and (4) a diversified acquisition pipeline.
We focus on investing in real estate that is operated by creditworthy single tenants in industries characterized by positive business drivers and trends. We target properties that are an integral part of the tenants’ businesses and are therefore opportunities to secure long-term net leases through which our tenants are able to retain operational control of their strategically important locations, while allocating their debt and equity capital to fund core business operations rather than real estate ownership.

- Diversified Investment Strategy . We invest in real estate through property acquisitions, revenue generating capital expenditures, build-to-suit developments, and transitional capital. Our investments in these alternatives fluctuate from time to time depending on macroeconomic conditions and business or market trends. Our strong relationships with brokers, developers, and tenants provides access to off-market and marketed investment opportunities. Off-market transactions are characterized by a lack of a formal marketing process and a lack of widely disseminated marketing materials. Marketed transactions are often characterized by extensive buyer competition. For all investments, we seek to maintain our portfolio’s diversification by property type, geography, tenant, and industry in an effort to reduce fluctuations in income caused by under-performing individual real estate assets or adverse economic conditions affecting an entire industry or geographic region.
- Diversified Portfolio . As of September 30, 2025, our portfolio comprised approximately 40.7 million rentable square feet of operational space, was highly diversified based on property type, geography, tenant, and industry, and was cross-diversified within each (e.g., property-type diversification within a geographic concentration):
• Property Type: We are primarily diversified across industrial and retail property types. Within these sectors, we have meaningful concentrations in distribution and warehouse, manufacturing, food processing, general merchandise, quick service restaurants, and casual dining.
• Geographic Diversification: Our properties are located in 44 U.S. states and four Canadian provinces, with no single geographic concentration exceeding 9.2% of our ABR.
• Tenant and Industry Diversification: Our properties are occupied by 204 different commercial tenants who operate 195 distinct brands that are diversified across 56 varying industries, with no single tenant accounting for more than 3.9% of our ABR.
- Strong In-Place Leases with Significant Remaining Lease Term . As of September 30, 2025, our portfolio was approximately 99.5% leased with an ABR weighted average remaining lease term of approximately 9.5 years, excluding renewal options.
- Standard Contractual Base Rent Escalation . Approximately 97.5% of our leases have contractual rent escalations, with an ABR weighted average increase of 2.0%.
- Extensive Tenant Financial Reporting . Approximately 96.6% of our tenants, based on ABR, provide financial reporting, of which 82.0% are required to provide us with specified financial information on a periodic basis, and an additional 14.6% of our tenants report financial statements publicly, either through SEC filings or otherwise.
Current Macroeconomic Conditions and Strategic Priorities
Throughout 2023 and 2024, challenging macroeconomic conditions directly impacted the broader commercial real estate market and, in particular, the net lease real estate market. During that period, interest rates rose steadily, resulting in a challenging lending environment and a material increase in the cost of capital for commercial real estate buyers and lenders. The increase in interest rates accelerated at a more aggressive pace than commercial real estate capitalization rates, thereby compressing earnings on new investments. Market expectations about expansionary monetary policy resulted in net lease real estate sellers maintaining higher pricing expectations, which ultimately led to a significant decrease in transaction volumes. These challenging macroeconomic conditions have limited, and may continue to limit, the ability of commercial real estate owners, including us, to complete real estate acquisitions at volume and accretion levels consistent with years prior to this environment, resulting in lower earnings growth rates compared to historical periods. Notwithstanding the challenging macroeconomic conditions, we believe that our portfolio performance and strong liquidity profile position our Company well for future opportunities. We expect to achieve growth in revenues and earnings through our four building blocks, including embedded same store net operating income growth, revenue generating capital expenditures with existing tenants, build-to-suit developments, and a diversified acquisition pipeline.

Substantially all of our leases provide for periodic contractual rent escalations. As of September 30, 2025, leases contributing 97.5% of our ABR provided for increases in future ABR, generally ranging from 1.5% to 3.0% annually, with an ABR weighted average annual increase equal to 2.0% of base rent. Generally, our rent escalators increase rent on specified dates by a fixed percentage. Our escalations provide us with a source of organic revenue growth and a measure of inflation protection. Additional information on lease escalation frequency and weighted average annual escalation rates as of September 30, 2025 is displayed below:
Lease Escalation Frequency % of ABR Weighted Average Annual Increase (a)
Annually 79.8 % 2.2 %

(a) Represents the ABR weighted average annual increase of the entire portfolio as if all escalations occurred annually. For leases where rent escalates by the greater of a stated fixed percentage or the change in CPI, we have assumed an escalation equal to the stated fixed percentage in the lease. As of September 30, 2025, leases contributing 4.7% of our ABR provide for rent increases equal to the lesser of a stated fixed percentage or the change in CPI. As any future increase in CPI is unknowable at this time, we have not included an increase in the rent pursuant to these leases in the weighted average annual increase presented.
(b) Generally associated with investment grade retail tenants.

Transitional Capital
In addition to investing in new property acquisitions, revenue generating capital expenditures, and build-to-suit developments, we may, from time to time, invest in transitional capital opportunities, including preferred equity interests and real estate lending opportunities. Such investments are intended to be shorter in duration, offering an alternative source of financing.

The increase in lease revenues, net, was primarily attributable to increase in rents related to real property acquisitions and investments in revenue generating capital expenditures during the three months ended September 30, 2025, partially offset by dispositions. We closed on $145.0 million of acquisitions and revenue generating capital expenditures at a weighted average cash capitalization rate of 7.1%, and completed dispositions of $38.7 million at a weighted average cash capitalization rate of 7.0% during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Depreciation and amortization
The decrease in depreciation and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to $4.7 million of accelerated amortization of intangible lease assets resulting from an early lease termination during the three months ended June 30, 2025 that did not reoccur during the three months ended September 30, 2025.
40
Property and operating expense
The increase in property and operating expense during the three months ended September 30, 2025 is primarily related to an increase in reimbursable expenses that are billed to tenants.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized $7.0 million of impairment primarily from changes in our long-term hold strategy with respect to the individual properties. Such impairments were based on actual and expected sales prices of the individual properties. The timing and amount of impairment fluctuates from period to period depending on the specific facts and circumstances.

Other income (expenses) 1,312 (3,445) $ (4,757) > 100.0 %
Interest expense
The increase in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 is primarily due to the termination of interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate termination value of $6.7 million, resulting in $6.1 million of accumulated losses held in Other comprehensive income (loss) to be reclassified to interest expense.
Gain on sale of real estate
Our recognition of a gain or loss on the sale of real estate varies from transaction to transaction based on fluctuations in asset prices and demand in the real estate market. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a gain of $3.3 million on the sale of 12 properties, compared to a gain of $0.6 million on the sale of eight properties during the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Other (expenses) income
The increase in other (expenses) income during the three months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to a $1.3 million unrealized foreign exchange gain recognized on the quarterly remeasurement of our $100 million Canadian Dollars (“CAD”) Revolving Credit Facility borrowings, compared to a $3.4 million unrealized foreign exchange loss recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2025.

The increase in net income is primarily attributable to a $4.9 million decrease in the provision for impairment of investment in rental properties, a $4.8 million decrease in unrealized foreign exchange loss, a $2.3 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense, and a $2.7 million gain on sale of real estate. This was partially offset by a $7.1 million increase in interest expense primarily related to termination of interest rate swap agreements.
GAAP net income includes items such as gain or loss on sale of real estate and provisions for impairment, unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss, among others, which can vary from quarter to quarter and impact period-over-period comparisons.

Total lease revenues, net $ 335,844 $ 319,670 $ 16,174 5.1 %
The increase in lease revenues, net was primarily attributable to growth in our real estate portfolio. During the first three quarters of 2025, we had a total of $253.2 million of acquisitions at a cash capitalization rate of 7.1%, $8.3 million of revenue generating capital expenditures at a weighted average cash capitalization rate of 8.3%, as well as had a $201.0 million build-to-suit development reach stabilization at a cash capitalization rate of 7.2%. This stabilized investment activity is partially offset by 2025 disposition activity of $59.2 million at a weighted average cash capitalization rate of 7.7%. Additionally, the increase in lease revenues, net was partially due to a decrease in bad debt expense related to the sale of a healthcare asset and collection efforts on outstanding rent.

Such impairments were based on actual and expected sales prices of the individual properties and primarily included a $14.6 million impairment charge on two healthcare properties. The timing and amount of impairment fluctuates from period to period depending on the specific facts and circumstances.
Property and operating expense
The decrease in property and operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to a decrease in non-reimbursable expenses related to two properties that were re-leased and sold at the beginning of 2025, and end of 2024, respectively.
General and administrative
The increase in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to an increase in stock based compensation expense of $1.7 million, partially offset by a decrease in corporate expenses compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The increase in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 is primarily due to the termination of interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate termination value of $6.7 million, which resulted in $6.1 million of accumulated losses held in Other comprehensive income (loss) to Interest expense. Additionally, interest expense has partially increased due to an increase in total borrowings on our variable-rate Revolving Credit Facility and additional $100.0 million of term debt outstanding, the proceeds of which were used to fund acquisitions in the first three quarters of 2025.
Gain on sale of real estate
Our recognition of a gain or loss on the sale of real estate varies from transaction to transaction based on fluctuations in asset prices and demand in the real estate market. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a gain of $4.2 million on the sale of 23 properties, compared to a gain of $65.0 million on the sale of 46 properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Other (expenses) income

The decrease in net income is primarily due to a decrease in the gain on sale of real estate of $60.7 million, an increase in interest expense of $14.9 million, and an increase in depreciation and amortization of $9.1 million. These are offset by an increase in net lease revenues of $16.2 million.
GAAP net income includes items such as gain or loss on sale of real estate and provisions for impairment, unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss, among others, which can vary from quarter to quarter and impact period-over-period comparisons.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
We acquire real estate using a combination of debt and equity capital, cash from operations that is not otherwise distributed to our stockholders, and proceeds from dispositions of real estate properties. Our focus is on maximizing the risk-adjusted return to our stockholders through an appropriate balance of debt and equity in our capital structure. We are committed to maintaining an investment grade balance sheet through active management of our leverage profile and overall liquidity position. We believe our leverage strategy has allowed us to take advantage of the lower cost of debt while simultaneously strengthening our balance sheet, as evidenced by our current investment grade credit ratings of ‘BBB’ from S&P and ‘Baa2’ from Moody’s. We seek to maintain on a sustained basis a Leverage Ratio that is generally less than 6.0x. As of September 30, 2025, we had total debt outstanding of $2.4 billion, Net Debt of $2.3 billion, Pro Forma Net Debt of $2.2 billion, a Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre ratio of 5.7x, and a Pro Forma Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre ratio of 5.4x.
Net Debt, Pro Forma Net Debt, and Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre are non-GAAP financial measures, Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre, and Pro Forma Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre are calculated based upon EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre each of which is also a non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to Non-GAAP Measures below for further details concerning our calculation of non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to the comparable GAAP measure.
Liquidity/REIT Requirements
Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including our ongoing commitments to repay debt, fund our operations, acquire and develop properties, make distributions to our stockholders, and other general business needs. As a REIT, we are required to distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains, on an annual basis. As a result, it is unlikely that we will be able to retain substantial cash balances to meet our long-term liquidity needs, including repayment of debt and the acquisition of additional properties, from our annual taxable income. Instead, we expect to meet our long-term liquidity needs primarily by relying upon external sources of capital and proceeds from selective property dispositions.
44
Short-term Liquidity Requirements
Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for our operating expenses, including our general and administrative expenses as well as interest payments on our outstanding debt, to pay distributions, to fund our acquisitions that are under control or expected to close within a short time period, and to pay for commitments to fund build-to-suit developments, revenue generating capital expenditures, and transitional capital investments. Under leases where we are required to bear the cost of structural repairs and replacements, we do not currently anticipate making significant capital expenditures or incurring other significant property costs, including as a result of inflationary pressures in the current economic environment, because of the strong occupancy levels across our portfolio and the net lease nature of our leases. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements primarily from cash and cash equivalents balances and net cash provided by operating activities, supplemented by borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and capital recycled through selective property dispositions. We use cash on hand and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility to initially fund investments, which are subsequently repaid or replaced with proceeds from our equity and debt capital markets activities as well as proceeds from dispositions.
As detailed in the contractual obligations table below, we have approximately $332.7 million of expected obligations due throughout the remainder of 2025, consisting of $248.4 million of commitments to fund investments, $58.7 million of dividends declared, $24.8 million of projected interest expense, $0.5 million of mortgage payments and amortization, and $0.4 million of lessee obligations. We expect our cash provided by operating activities, as discussed below, will be sufficient to pay for our current obligations, including interest, mortgage amortization, and lessee obligations. We expect to pay for commitments to fund investments and our dividends declared using our available cash on hand and borrowings from our Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2025, we have $904.2 million of available capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility.
Long-term Liquidity Requirements
Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to repay debt and invest in additional revenue generating properties and build-to-suit developments. We expect to source debt capital from unsecured term loans from commercial banks, revolving credit facilities, private placement senior unsecured notes, and public bond offerings.
The source and mix of our debt capital in the future will be impacted by market conditions as well as our continued focus on lengthening our debt maturity profile to better align with our portfolio’s long-term leases, staggering debt maturities to reduce the risk that a significant amount of debt will mature in any single year in the future, and managing our exposure to interest rate risk. We have no material debt maturities until 2027, as detailed in the table below.
We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements primarily from borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, future debt and equity financings, as well as proceeds from dispositions. Our ability to access these capital sources may be impacted by unfavorable market conditions, particularly in the debt and equity capital markets, that are outside of our control. In addition, our success will depend on our operating performance, our borrowing restrictions, our degree of leverage, and other factors. Our acquisition growth strategy significantly depends on our ability to obtain acquisition financing on favorable terms. We seek to reduce the risk that long-term debt capital may be unavailable to us by strengthening our balance sheet by investing in real estate with creditworthy tenants and lease guarantors, and by maintaining an appropriate mix of debt and equity capitalization. We also, from time to time, obtain or assume non-recourse mortgage financing from banks and insurance companies secured by mortgages on the corresponding specific property subject to limitations imposed by our Revolving Credit Facility covenants and our investment grade credit rating.
Equity Capital Resources
Our equity capital is primarily provided through our at-the-market common equity offering program (“ATM Program”), as well as follow-on equity offerings. Under the terms of our ATM Program we may, from time to time, publicly offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $400.0 million. The ATM Program provides for forward sale agreements, which enable us to set the price of shares upon pricing the offering, while delaying the issuance of shares and the receipt of the net proceeds. During the year ended December 31, 2024, in connection with forward sales agreements provided for under the ATM Program, we sold 2,187,700 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $18.29 per share, subject to certain adjustments. We expect to settle the outstanding shares of these forward sale agreements in the fourth quarter of 2025. Our estimated net proceeds of these forward sale agreements, assuming physical settlement for cash as of September 30, 2025, is approximately $37.3 million. We have not settled any part of these forward sales agreements as of September 30, 2025. After considering the shares sold, we have $360.0 million of capacity remaining under the ATM Program as of September 30, 2025.
Our public offerings have been used to repay debt, fund acquisitions, and for other general corporate purposes.

(a) At September 30, 2025, a balance of $24.0 million was subject to daily simple SOFR. The remaining balance of $100.0 million Canadian Dollars (“CAD”) borrowings remeasured to $71.8 million United States Dollars (“USD”), and was subject to daily simple CORRA of 2.56% at September 30, 2025.
(b) At September 30, 2025, overnight SOFR was 4.24%.
(c) At September 30, 2025, one-month SOFR was 4.13%.
(d) Our Revolving Credit Facility contains two six-month extension options subject to certain conditions, including the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.0625% of the revolving commitments.
(e) Our 2028 unsecured term loan contains two twelve-month extension options subject to certain conditions, including the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.125% of the aggregate principal amount of the loans outstanding under the 2028 term loan facility.
On September 26, 2025, we completed a public offering of $350.0 million 5.00% senior unsecured notes due in 2032 (the "2032 Senior Unsecured Public Notes"), issued at 99.151% of the principal amount. The 2032 Senior Unsecured Public Notes require semi-annual interest payments through the maturity date of November 1, 2025, unless earlier redeemed. The 2032 Senior Unsecured Public Notes can be redeemed at par within two months of their respective maturities, or the Company can call the notes at any time for the principal, accrued interest, and a make-whole amount based upon the applicable government bond yield plus 20 basis points. The proceeds were used to repay borrowings on the unsecured revolving credit facility, to fund investments in real estate, and for general corporate purposes.
On February 28, 2025, we amended and restated the Revolving Credit Facility, extending the maturity date to March 31, 2029, and increasing the accordion feature that increases the aggregate facility size from $1.5 billion to $2.5 billion. All remaining terms of the Revolving Credit Facility remained the same.
On February 28, 2025, we entered into a new unsecured term loan for $400.0 million that matures in March 2028 (the “2028 Unsecured Term Loan”), the proceeds of which were used to repay the $400.0 million 2026 Unsecured Term Loan. The 2028 Unsecured Term Loan allowed us to draw an additional $100.0 million, on May 28, 2025, the proceeds of which were used to repay a portion of the revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the 2028 Unsecured Term Loan are subject to interest only payments at variable rates equal to RFR plus a margin based on our credit rating, ranging between 0.800% and 1.600% per annum. Based on our current credit rating, the applicable margin was 0.950% as of September 30, 2025.

Debt Covenants
We are subject to various covenants and financial reporting requirements pursuant to our debt facilities, which are summarized below. As of September 30, 2025, we believe we were in compliance with all of our covenants on all outstanding borrowings. In the event of default, either through default on payments or breach of covenants, we may be restricted from paying dividends to our stockholders in excess of dividends required to maintain our REIT qualification. For each of the previous three years, we paid dividends out of our cash flows from operations in excess of the distribution amounts required to maintain our REIT qualification.
Contractual Obligations

(a) Our Revolving Credit Facility contains two six-month extension options subject to certain conditions, including the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.0625% of the revolving commitments.
(b) Our 2028 Unsecured Term Loan contains two twelve-month extension options subject to certain conditions, including the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.125% of the aggregate principal amount of the loans outstanding under the 2028 term loan facility.
(c) Interest expense is projected based on the outstanding borrowings and interest rates in effect as of September 30, 2025. This amount includes the impact of interest rate swap agreements.
(d) Amounts include dividends declared as of September 30, 2025 of $0.29 per common share and OP Unit. Future undeclared dividends have been excluded.
(e) Amounts include acquisitions under control, defined as under contract or executed letter of intent, and commitments to fund revenue generating capital expenditures, and both current in-process developments and under control development opportunities.
(f) Represents our contractual lease obligations as a lessee, primarily including our corporate headquarters and ground leases at our rental properties or properties under development. Our tenants are responsible for paying the rent under these ground leases at our stabilized assets. In the event our tenant fails to pay the ground lease rent, we are primarily responsible.
At September 30, 2025 investment in rental property with a net book value of $81.4 million was pledged as collateral against our mortgages.
In the normal course of business, we enter into various types of commitments to purchase real estate properties. These commitments are generally subject to our customary due diligence process and, accordingly, a number of specific conditions must be met before we are obligated to purchase the properties.
47
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
We are exposed to interest rate risk arising from changes in interest rates on the floating-rate borrowings under our unsecured credit facilities. Borrowings pursuant to our unsecured credit facilities bear interest at floating rates based on SOFR or CORRA plus an applicable margin. Accordingly, fluctuations in market interest rates may increase or decrease our interest expense, which will in turn, increase or decrease our net income and cash flow.
We attempt to manage the interest rate risk on variable rate borrowings by entering into interest rate swaps. As of September 30, 2025, we had 26 effective and two forward-starting interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $966.8 million. Under the effective swap agreements, we receive monthly payments from the counterparties equal to the related variable interest rates multiplied by the outstanding notional amounts. In turn, we pay the counterparties each month an amount equal to a fixed interest rate multiplied by the related outstanding notional amounts. The intended net impact of these transactions is that we pay a fixed interest rate on our variable-rate borrowings. The forward-starting swap arrangements are effective during December 2025 and mature in 2030. The interest rate swaps have been designated by us as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes and are reported at fair value. We assess, both at inception and on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of our qualifying cash flow hedges. We have not entered, and do not intend to enter, into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.
In addition, we own investments in Canada, and as a result are subject to risk from the effects of exchange rate movements in the Canadian dollar, which may affect future costs and cash flows. We funded a significant portion of our Canadian investments through Canadian dollar borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, which is intended to act as a natural hedge against our Canadian dollar investments. The Canadian dollar Revolving Credit Facility borrowings are remeasured each reporting period, with the unrealized foreign currency gains and losses flowing through earnings. These unrealized foreign currency gains and losses do not impact our cash flows from operations until settled, and are expected to directly offset the changes in the value of our net investments as a result of changes in the Canadian dollar. Our Canadian investments are recorded at their historical exchange rates, and therefore are not impacted by changes in the value of the Canadian dollar.
Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $83.3 million and $11.2 million at September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively. The table below shows information concerning cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:
For the Nine Months Ended
September 30,
(In thousands) 2025 2024
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 214,929 $ 212,342
Net cash used in investing activities (390,647) (87,041)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities 243,045 (134,715)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 67,327 $ (9,414)
The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to increased contractual rents related to rent escalations and growth in our real estate portfolio.
The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to a decrease in disposition volume and proceeds and an increase in build-to-suit development investment, partially offset by a decrease in acquisition investment activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
The increase in net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, mainly reflects an increase in net proceeds from unsecured term loans and senior unsecured notes.
48
Non-GAAP Measures
FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO
We compute Funds From Operations (“FFO”) in accordance with the standards established by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”), the worldwide representative voice for REITs and publicly traded real estate companies with an interest in the U.S. real estate and capital markets. Nareit defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude net gains (losses) from sales of certain depreciated real estate assets, depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets, and impairment charges related to certain previously depreciated real estate assets. FFO is used by management, investors, and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers, primarily because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains (losses) on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions.
We compute Core Funds From Operations (“Core FFO”) by adjusting FFO, as defined by Nareit, to exclude certain GAAP income and expense amounts that we believe are infrequently recurring, unusual in nature, or not related to its core real estate operations, including write-offs or recoveries of accrued rental income, lease termination fees and other non-core income from real estate transactions, cost of debt extinguishment, unrealized and realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions, severance and employee transition costs, and other extraordinary items. Exclusion of these items from similar FFO-type metrics is common within the equity REIT industry, and management believes that presentation of Core FFO provides investors with a metric to assist in their evaluation of our operating performance across multiple periods and in comparison to the operating performance of our peers, because it removes the effect of unusual items that are not expected to impact our operating performance on an ongoing basis.
We compute Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”), by adjusting Core FFO for certain revenues and expenses that are non-cash or unique in nature, including straight-line rents, amortization of lease intangibles, adjustment to provision for credit losses, amortization of debt issuance costs, non-capitalized transaction costs such as acquisition costs related to deals that failed to transact, loss on interest rate swaps and other non-cash interest expense, deferred taxes, stock-based compensation, and other specified non-cash items. We believe that excluding such items assists management and investors in distinguishing whether changes in our operations are due to growth or decline of operations at our properties or from other factors. We use AFFO as a measure of our performance when we formulate corporate goals, and is a factor in determining management compensation. We believe that AFFO is a useful supplemental measure for investors to consider because it will help them to better assess our operating performance without the distortions created by non-cash revenues or expenses.
Specific to our adjustment for straight-line rents, our leases include cash rents that increase over the term of the lease to compensate us for anticipated increases in market rental rates over time. Our leases do not include significant front-loading or back-loading of payments, or significant rent-free periods. Therefore, we find it useful to evaluate rent on a contractual basis as it allows for comparison of existing rental rates to market rental rates.
FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other REITs, and comparisons of our FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO with the same or similar measures disclosed by other REITs may not be meaningful.
Neither the SEC nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments to FFO that we use to calculate Core FFO and AFFO. In the future, the SEC, Nareit or another regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the REIT industry and in response to such standardization we may have to adjust our calculation and characterization of Core FFO and AFFO accordingly.

50
EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDAre, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre, Annualized EBITDAre, Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre, and Pro Forma Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre
We compute EBITDA as earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a measure commonly used in our industry. We believe that this ratio provides investors and analysts with a measure of our performance that includes our operating results unaffected by the differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles and useful life of related assets compared to other companies in our industry. We compute EBITDAre in accordance with the definition adopted by Nareit, as EBITDA excluding gains (losses) from the sales of depreciable property and provisions for impairment on investment in real estate. We believe EBITDA and EBITDAre are useful to investors and analysts because they provide important supplemental information about our operating performance exclusive of certain non-cash and other costs. EBITDA and EBITDAre are not measures of financial performance under GAAP, and our EBITDA and EBITDAre may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. You should not consider our EBITDA and EBITDAre as alternatives to net income or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP.
We are focused on a disciplined and targeted investment strategy, together with active asset management that includes selective sales of properties. We manage our leverage profile using a ratio of Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre, and Pro Forma Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre, each discussed further below, which we believe is a useful measure of our ability to repay debt and a relative measure of leverage, and is used in communications with our lenders and rating agencies regarding our credit rating. As we fund new investments using our unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, our leverage profile and Net Debt will be immediately impacted by current quarter investments. However, the full benefit of EBITDAre from new investments will not be received in the same quarter in which the properties are acquired. Additionally, EBITDAre for the quarter includes amounts generated by properties that have been sold during the quarter. Accordingly, the variability in EBITDAre caused by the timing of our investments and dispositions can temporarily distort our leverage ratios. We adjust EBITDAre (“Adjusted EBITDAre”) for the most recently completed quarter (i) to recalculate as if all investments and dispositions had occurred at the beginning of the quarter, (ii) to exclude certain GAAP income and expense amounts that are either non-cash, such as cost of debt extinguishments, realized or unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions, or gains on insurance recoveries, or that we believe are one time, or unusual in nature because they relate to unique circumstances or transactions that had not previously occurred and which we do not anticipate occurring in the future, and (iii) to eliminate the impact of lease termination fees and other items that are not a result of normal operations. While investments in build-to-suit developments have an immediate impact to Net Debt, we do not make an adjustment to EBITDAre until the quarter in which the lease commences. We define our Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre as Adjusted EBITDAre adjusted to show the impact of estimated contractual revenues based on in-process development spend to-date. Our Pro Forma Net Debt is defined as Net Debt adjusted for estimated net proceeds from forward sale agreements that have not settled as if they have been physically settled for cash as of the period presented. We then annualize quarterly Adjusted EBITDAre and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre by multiplying them by four (“Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre” and “Annualized Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDAre”). You should not unduly rely on this measure as it is based on assumptions and estimates that may prove to be inaccurate. Our actual reported EBITDAre for future periods may be significantly different from our Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre. Adjusted EBITDAre and Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre are not measurements of performance under GAAP, and our Adjusted EBITDAre and Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. You should not consider our Adjusted EBITDAre and Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre as alternatives to net income or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP.

(d) Represents estimated contractual revenues based on in-process development spend to-date.
Net Debt, Pro Forma Net Debt, Net Debt to Annualized EBITDAre, Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre, and Pro Forma Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre
We define Net Debt as gross debt (total reported debt plus debt issuance costs) less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. Our Pro Forma Net Debt is defined as Net Debt adjusted for estimated net proceeds from unsettled forward sale agreements as if they have been settled for cash as of the period presented. We believe that the presentation of Net Debt to Annualized EBITDAre and Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre is useful to investors and analysts because these ratios provide information about gross debt less cash and cash equivalents, which could be used to repay debt, compared to our performance as measured using EBITDAre, and is used in communications with lenders and rating agencies regarding our credit rating.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 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. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. 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 our financial statements. A summary of our significant accounting policies and procedures are included in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We believe there have been no significant changes during the three months ended September 30, 2025 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For information on the impact of recent accounting pronouncements on our business, see Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
