Broadstone Net Lease Announces First Quarter 2026 Results and Adds $30 million to its Committed Pipeline of Build-to-Suit Developments

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“We are off to a great start for the year, delivering 5.6% year-over-year AFFO growth during the quarter," said John Moragne, BNL's Chief Executive Officer. "We strengthened our committed build-to-suit pipeline, invested over $60 million in high yielding stabilized acquisitions, and realized no lost rent, highlighting another quarter of diligent execution across the organization. We remain focused on adding to our growing pipeline of build-to-suits and driving long-term sustainable shareholder value."

FIRST QUARTER 2026 HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARIZED FINANCIAL RESULTS

FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO are measures that are not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). See the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures later in this press release.

REAL ESTATE PORTFOLIO AND INVESTMENT UPDATE

As of March 31, 2026, we owned a diversified portfolio of 773 individual net leased commercial properties with 766 properties located in 44 U.S. states and seven properties located in four Canadian provinces, comprising approximately 41.9 million rentable square feet of operational space. As of March 31, 2026, all but two of our properties were subject to a lease, and our properties were occupied by 209 different commercial tenants, with no single tenant accounting for more than 3.8% of our annualized base rent (“ABR”). Properties subject to a lease represent 99.8% of our portfolio’s rentable square footage. The ABR weighted average lease term and ABR weighted average annual rent increase, pursuant to leases on properties in the portfolio as of March 31, 2026, was 9.5 years and 2.1%, respectively.

During the quarter, we invested $61.2 million in a 60-acre industrial campus approximately 20-miles north of Boston, Massachusetts, tenanted by Charles River Laboratories, a leading global pharmaceutical and biotechnology contract research organization. The sale leaseback investment includes: a long-term, 12-year net lease with initial cash rents of $1.5 million and annual rent increases of 3.0%, and a short-term, 1-year net lease with cash rents of $4.0 million, for a blended 9.0% initial cash cap rate and 4.0 years of weighted average lease term. We intend to redevelop approximately 48-acres of the 60-acre campus that are subject to the short-term lease in partnership with the Sansone Group as part of our build-to-suit development program. Additionally, we reached stabilization on the second of two maintenance, repair and overhaul hangars, commonly referred to as MROs, at Dayton International Airport, supporting Sierra Nevada Corporation’s work with the U.S. Air Force at nearby Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Contractual rent commencement for the second facility started on April 1, 2026.

Subsequent to quarter end, we commenced one additional build-to-suit development for Tesla, Inc, with an estimated total project investment of $30.4 million. The project includes a presort battery recycling facility that will be located approximately 3 miles from the Gigafactory in Austin, Texas. We expect the project to reach stabilization in the fourth quarter of 2027.

BALANCE SHEET AND CAPITAL MARKETS ACTIVITIES

As of the March 31, 2026, we had total outstanding debt of $2.7 billion, Net Debt of $2.6 billion, a Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre ratio of 6.1x, and a Pro Forma Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre ratio of 5.8x. We had $591.9 million of available capacity on our unsecured revolving credit facility as of quarter end, and no material maturities until 2027.

During the first quarter, we sold on a forward basis, 3,718,219 shares of common stock at a weighted average gross price per share of $19.13 for estimated gross proceeds of approximately 71,115,296 under our ATM Program, none of which has been settled. In total, on a forward basis, we have sold 4,339,706 of shares common stock at a weighted average gross price per share of $19.02 for estimated gross proceeds of $82.5 million. These sales may be settled, at our discretion, at any time prior to December 31, 2026. As of the date of this release, we have approximately $281.0 million of capacity remaining under our $400 million 2024 ATM Program.

DISTRIBUTIONS

At its April 23, 2026 meeting, our board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.2925 per common share and OP Unit to holders of record as of June 30, 2026, payable on or before July 15, 2026.

BUILD-TO-SUIT DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

The following table summarizes our in-process and stabilized developments as of April 29, 2026.

2026 GUIDANCE

For 2026, BNL expects to report AFFO of $1.53 to $1.57 per diluted share, which remains unchanged.

The guidance is based on the following key assumptions:

1. investments in real estate properties between $500 million and $625 million;
2. dispositions of real estate properties between $75 million and $100 million; and
3. total core general and administrative expenses between $30 million and $31 million.

Our per share results are sensitive to both the timing and amount of real estate investments, property dispositions, and capital markets activities that occur throughout the year.

The Company does not provide guidance for the most comparable GAAP financial measure, net income, or a reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure of AFFO to net income computed in accordance with GAAP, because it is unable to reasonably predict, without unreasonable efforts, certain items that would be contained in the GAAP measure, including items that are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operations, including, without limitation, potential impairments of real estate assets, net gain/loss on dispositions of real estate assets, changes in allowance for credit losses, and stock-based compensation expense. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on the Company’s GAAP results for the guidance periods.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, regarding, among other things, our plans, strategies, and prospects, both business and financial. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such as “outlook,” “potential,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “projects,” “predicts,” “expect,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “plans,” “would be,” “believes,” “continues,” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. Forward-looking statements, including our 2026 guidance and assumptions, rent commencement timing, and build-to-suit developments, involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which may cause BNL’s actual future results to differ materially from expected results, including, without limitation, risks and uncertainties related to general economic conditions, including but not limited to increases in the rate of inflation and/or fluctuation of interest rates, local real estate conditions, tenant financial health, property investments and acquisitions, and the timing and uncertainty of completing these property investments and acquisitions, and uncertainties regarding future distributions to our stockholders. These and other risks, assumptions, and uncertainties are described in Item 1A “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 19, 2026 which you are encouraged to read, and is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. The Company assumes no obligation to, and does not currently intend to, update any forward-looking statements after the date of this press release, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions, or otherwise.

Notice Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our reported results and net earnings per diluted share, which are financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release contains and may refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Funds from Operations (“FFO”), Core Funds From Operations (“Core FFO”), AFFO, Net Debt, and Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre. We believe the use of FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO are useful to investors because they are widely accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs. FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO should not be considered alternatives to net income as a performance measure or to cash flows from operations, as reported on our statement of cash flows, or as a liquidity measure, and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures. We believe presenting Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre is useful to investors because it provides information about gross debt less cash and cash equivalents, which could be used to repay debt, compared to our performance as measured using Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre. You should not consider our Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre as an alternative to net income or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure and statements of why management believes these measures are useful to investors are included below.
