The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the
quarter ended March 31,
2020
, may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
2020
. See "Footnote 8 – Subsequent Events." Amounts as of
December 31, 2019
included in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, included herein, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as well as Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in NNN's Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2019
.
Principles of Consolidation
– NNN’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of each of the respective majority owned and controlled affiliates, including transactions whereby NNN has been determined to be the primary beneficiary in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codifications ("ASC") guidance included in
Consolidation.
All significant intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated.
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 and other miscellaneous costs incurred during the development period until the project is substantially complete and available for occupancy. NNN recorded
$
466,000
and
$
126,000
in capitalized interest during the development period for the
quarter ended
March 31, 2020
and
2019
, respectively.
Purchase Accounting for Acquisition of Real Estate Subject to a Lease
– In accordance with the FASB 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 the 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 range relies upon ranking comparable properties' attributes from most similar to least similar.
The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the "as-if-vacant" value is then allocated to land, building and tenant improvements based on the determination of their fair values.
In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded as other assets or liabilities based on the present value (using an interest rate which
9
reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases, and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease and the applicable option terms if it is probable that the tenant will exercise options. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. The capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial term unless the Company believes that it is likely that the tenant will renew the lease for an option term whereby the Company amortizes the value attributable to the renewal over the renewal period.
The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets, consisting of in-place leases, is measured by the excess of (i) the purchase price paid for a property after adjusting existing in-place leases to market rental rates over (ii) the estimated fair value of the property as-if-vacant, determined as set forth above. The value of in-place leases exclusive of the value of above-market and below-market in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be written off in that period. The value of tenant relationships is reviewed on individual transactions to determine if future value was derived from the acquisition.
Lease Accounting
– In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," ("ASC 842") NNN used the modified retrospective approach in which the cumulative effect of applying the new standard was recognized at the date of initial application with a positive adjustment to NNN’s opening balance of accumulated deficit. The modified retrospective approach provides a method for recording existing leases upon adoption, which in comparative periods approximates the results of a full retrospective approach. NNN elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance (which included: (i) an entity need not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) an entity need not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (iii) an entity need not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases), the land easement practical expedient to carry forward existing accounting treatment on existing land easements, and the lease and non-lease component combined practical expedient.
NNN estimates the collectability of its accounts receivable related to rents, expense reimbursements and other revenues. NNN analyzes accounts receivable and historical bad debt levels, tenant credit-worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the probable collection. At the point NNN deems the collection of lease payments not probable, a bad debt is recognized for any outstanding receivable and any related accrued rent and, subsequently, any lease revenue is only recognized when cash receipts are received.
NNN recorded Right-Of-Use ("ROU") assets and operating lease liabilities of approximately
$
7,735,000
and
$
10,155,000
respectively, as of January 1, 2019.
In April 2020, the FASB issued interpretive guidance relating to the accounting for lease concessions provided as a result of COVID-19. In this guidance, entities can elect not to apply lease modification accounting with respect to such lease concessions and instead, treat the concession as if it was a part of the existing contract. This guidance is only applicable to COVID-19 related lease concessions that do not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee. NNN is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance and whether NNN will make this policy election for lease concessions such as rent deferrals for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.
Debt Costs – Notes Payable
–
Debt costs incurred in connection with the issuance of NNN’s notes payable have been deferred and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the respective debt obligation using the effective interest method. These costs of
$
31,140,000
and
$
26,932,000
, as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, are included in
notes payable
on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets net of accumulated amortization of
$
7,492,000
and
$
8,962,000
, respectively.
Impairment – Real Estate
– Based upon certain events or changes in circumstances, management periodically assesses its Properties for possible impairment whenever the carrying value of the asset, including accrued rental income, may not be recoverable through operations. Events or circumstances that may occur include significant changes in real estate market conditions and the ability of NNN to re-lease or sell properties that are currently vacant or become vacant in a reasonable period of time. 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. 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
, which provide for cash flows over this term. NNN intends to hold these assets for the long-term, therefore, a temporary change in cash flows due to COVID-19 alone would not be an indicator of impairment.
10
Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
– Effective January 1, 2020, NNN adopted FASB ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326),” (“ASC 326”). The amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates.
ASU 326 requires entities to estimate an expected lifetime credit loss on financial assets ranging from short-term trade accounts receivable to long-term financings. The new guidance requires a lifetime credit loss expected at inception and requires pooling of assets, which share similar risk characteristics. NNN is required to evaluate current economic conditions, as well as, make future expectations of economic conditions. In addition, the measurement of the expected credit loss is over the asset’s contractual term.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, NNN recorded a mortgage receivable of
$
2,737,000
included in
other assets
on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, net of
$
174,000
allowance for credit loss. NNN measures the allowance for credit loss based on the fair value of the collateral and the historical collectability trend analysis over
15
years
.
Adoption of ASC 326 did not materially impact NNN’s financial position or results of operations and had no impact on cash flows.
Earnings Per Share
– Earnings per share have been computed pursuant to the FASB guidance included in
Earnings Per Share
. The guidance requires classification of the Company’s unvested restricted share units, which carry rights to receive nonforfeitable dividends, as participating securities requiring the two-class method of computing earnings per share. Under the two-class method, earnings per common share are computed by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common stockholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In applying the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to both common shares and participating securities based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period.
The following table is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share using the two-class method (dollars in thousands):

Fair Value Measurement
– NNN’s estimates of fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities are based on the framework established in the fair value accounting guidance. The framework specifies a hierarchy of valuation inputs which was established to increase consistency, clarity and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based upon three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, two of which are considered observable and one that is considered unobservable. The following describes the three levels:
•
Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•
Level 2 – Valuation is based upon inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are
11
observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
•
Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

New Accounting Pronouncements
– In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” ("ASU 2019-12"), effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The amendments simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. NNN is currently evaluating to determine the potential impact the adoption of ASU 2019-12 will have on NNN's financial position or results of operations.
Use of Estimates
– Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Significant estimates include provisions for impairment and allowances for certain assets, accruals, useful lives of assets and purchase price allocation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassification
– Certain items in the prior year’s condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the
2020
presentation.

Weighted average remaining lease term (years)
11.1
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 ("CPI"), (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
12
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 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.

Real Estate – Impairments
Management periodically assesses its real estate for possible impairment whenever certain events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset, including accrued rental income, may not be recoverable through operations. Events or circumstances that may occur include significant changes in real estate market conditions and the ability of NNN to re-lease or sell properties that are currently vacant or become vacant in a reasonable period of time. Impairments are measured as the amount by which the current book value of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. 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
, which provide for cash flows over this term. NNN intends to hold these assets for the long-term, therefore, a temporary change in cash flows due to COVID-19 alone would not be an indicator of impairment. As a result of the Company's review of long-lived assets, including identifiable intangible assets, NNN recognized real estate impairments, net of recoveries of
$
5,513,000
and
$
3,245,000
for the quarter ended
March 31, 2020
and
2019
, respectively.
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.
Note 3 –
Line of Credit Payable

2.5
%
during the
quarter ended
March 31, 2020
. The Credit Facility matures January 2022, unless the Company exercises its option to extend maturity to January 2023. The Credit Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus
87.5
basis points; however, such interest rate may change pursuant to a tiered interest rate structure based on NNN's debt rating. The Credit Facility also includes an accordion feature which permits NNN to increase the facility size up to
$
1,600,000,000
, subject to lender approval. As of
March 31, 2020
, there was
no
outstanding balance and
$

Note 4 –
Notes Payable
:
In February 2020, NNN filed a prospectus supplement to the prospectus contained in its February 2018 shelf registration statement and, subsequently, in March 2020, issued
$
400,000,000
aggregate principal amount of
2.500
%
notes due April 2030 (the “2030 Notes”) and
$
300,000,000
aggregate principal amount of
3.100
%
notes due April 2050 (the "2050 Notes" and, together with the 2030 Notes, the "Notes").
The 2030 Notes were sold at a discount with an aggregate purchase price of
$
398,712,000
with interest payable semi-annually commencing on October 15, 2020. The discount of
$
1,288,000
is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate for the 2030 Notes after accounting for the note discount is
2.536
%
. NNN previously entered into
three
forward starting swaps with an aggregate notional amount of
$
200,000,000
. Upon issuance of the 2030 Notes, NNN terminated the forward starting swaps resulting in a
loss
of
$
13,141,000
, which was deferred in other comprehensive income. The loss is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2030 Notes using the effective interest method.
The 2050 Notes were sold at a discount with an aggregate purchase price of
$
293,934,000
with interest payable semi-annually commencing on October 15, 2020. The discount of
$
6,066,000
is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes
15
using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate for the 2050 Notes after accounting for the note discount is
3.205
%
.
The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of NNN and are subordinated to all secured indebtedness and to the indebtedness and other liabilities of NNN's subsidiaries. Additionally, the Notes are each redeemable at NNN's option, in whole or part anytime, for an amount equal to (i) the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the notes being redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the redemption date, and (ii) the make-whole amount, if any, as defined in the supplemental indenture dated February 18, 2020, relating to the Notes.
NNN received approximately
$
395,062,000
and
$
290,459,000
of net proceeds in connection with the issuance of the 2030 Notes and the 2050 Notes, respectively, after incurring debt issuance costs consisting primarily of underwriting discounts and commissions, legal and accounting fees, rating agency fees and printing expenses, totaling
$
3,650,000
and
$
3,475,000
for the 2030 Notes and the 2050 Notes, respectively.
On March 20, 2020, NNN redeemed the
$
325,000,000
3.800
%
notes payable due October 2022. The notes were redeemed at a price equal to
100

Note 6 –
Derivatives
:
In accordance with the guidance on derivatives and hedging, NNN records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or a firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.
NNN’s objective in using derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements or other identified risks. To accomplish this objective, NNN primarily uses treasury locks, forward starting swaps and interest rate swaps as part of its cash flow hedging strategy. Treasury locks and forward starting swaps are used to hedge forecasted debt issuances. Treasury locks designated as cash flow hedges lock in the yield/price of a treasury security. Forward starting swaps also lock the associated swap spread. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges are used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with floating rate debt and involve the receipt or payment of variable rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying principal amount.
For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the change in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive income (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings.
NNN discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when it is determined that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item, the derivative expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the derivative is re-designated as a hedging instrument or management determines that designation of the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate.
When hedge accounting is discontinued, NNN recognizes any changes in its fair value in earnings and continues to carry the derivative on the balance sheet or may choose to settle the derivative at that time with a cash payment or receipt. NNN records a cash settlement of forward starting swaps in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as an operating activity.

The amount reported in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the related notes payable.
As of
March 31, 2020
,
$
18,362,000
remained in other comprehensive income related to NNN’s previously terminated interest rate hedges. During the
quarter ended
March 31, 2020
and
2019
, NNN reclassified out of other comprehensive income
$
384,000
and
$
323,000
, respectively, as an increase in interest expense. Over the next 12 months, NNN estimates that an additional
$
2,555,000
will be reclassified as an increase in interest expense from these terminated derivatives. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on NNN’s long-term debt.
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
March 31, 2020
.
Note 7 –
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
:
NNN believes the carrying value of its Credit Facility approximates fair value based upon its nature, terms and variable interest rate. NNN believes that the carrying value of its mortgages payable at
March 31, 2020
and
December 31, 2019
, approximate fair value based upon current market prices of comparable instruments (Level 3). At
March 31, 2020
and
December 31, 2019
, the fair value of NNN’s notes payable net of unamortized discount and excluding debt costs was
$
3,277,730,000
and
$
3,074,538,000
, respectively, based upon quoted market prices, which is a Level 1 valuation since NNN's notes payable are publicly traded.
Note 8 –
Subsequent Events
:
Overview
A novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China in December 2019, and has since spread globally, including to every state in the United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic is negatively affecting almost every industry directly or indirectly.
The actions taken by the government to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 by ordering closure of many businesses and ordering residents to generally stay at home has resulted in the loss of revenue for many of NNN's tenants and challenged their ability to pay rent. NNN expects these economic hardships to have a negative effect on its financial results, particularly beginning the quarter ending June 30, 2020. Generally, NNN leases do not allow tenants to withhold rent as a result of such closures or reduced operations by tenants.
NNN is actively working with its tenants that have been impacted by the mandated closures or other social-distancing guidelines resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. As of April 29, 2020, NNN has collected approximately
52
%
of annualized base rent originally due in April 2020. As of April 29, 2020, certain tenants, representing approximately

%
of annualized base rent, have requested adjustments to their lease terms, primarily consisting of short-term rent deferrals of 30 to
90
days
. NNN is negotiating terms with these tenants that would require the deferred rental revenues to be paid at a later time in the lease term, typically over 3 to
18
months
with payment beginning in fourth quarter 2020. Rent collections may continue below amounts required under the leases until economic activity materially improves. April rent collections and rent relief requests to-
18
date may not be indicative of rent collections and requests in the future. Depending upon the duration of impact on tenants and the overall economic downturn resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, NNN may find deferred rents difficult to collect.
A prolonged imposition of mandated closures or other social-distancing guidelines may adversely impact NNN's tenants’ revenues, and could force tenants to default on their leases, or result in the bankruptcy or insolvency of tenants, which would diminish the rental revenue NNN receives under its leases. The rapid development and fluidity of the pandemic precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact on NNN. Nevertheless, COVID-19 presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to NNN’s performance, business or financial condition, results from operations and cash flows.
NNN is currently deferring material new property investments until there is more visibility on how and when the economy and capital markets might begin to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Business Continuity
The extent of the effects of COVID-19 on NNN's business, results of operations, cash flows, and growth prospects is highly uncertain and will ultimately depend on future developments, none of which can be predicted with any certainty. See Item "1A. Risk Factors."
NNN was able to transition a large portion of its associates to work remotely and does not anticipate any adverse impact on its ability to continue to operate its business nor have any material adverse impact on NNN's financial reporting systems, internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures.
NNN reviewed its subsequent events and transactions that have occurred after March 31, 2020, the date of the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

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
March 31, 2020
, NNN owned
3,125
Properties, with an aggregate gross leasable area of approximately
32,500,000
square feet, located in
48
states, with a weighted average remaining lease term of
11.1
years. Approximately
99
percent of the Properties were leased as of
March 31, 2020
.
NNN’s management team focuses on certain key indicators to evaluate the financial condition and operating performance of NNN. The key indicators for NNN include items such as: the composition of the Property Portfolio (such as tenant, geographic and line of trade diversification), the occupancy rate of the Property Portfolio, certain financial performance ratios and profitability measures, industry trends and industry performance compared to that of NNN.
NNN evaluates the creditworthiness of its 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 tenants, including past payment history and periodically meeting with senior management of certain tenants.
NNN continues to maintain its diversification by tenant, geography and tenant's line of trade. NNN’s largest lines of trade concentrations are the convenience store and restaurant (including full and limited service) 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 south and southeast 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.
Impact of COVID-19 on NNN’s Business
Overview
A novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China in December 2019, and has since spread globally, including to every state in the United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a
21
pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic is negatively affecting almost every industry directly or indirectly.
The actions taken by the government to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 by ordering closure of many businesses and ordering residents to generally stay at home has resulted in the loss of revenue for many of NNN's tenants and challenged their ability to pay rent. NNN expects these economic hardships to have a negative effect on its financial results particularly beginning the quarter ending June 30, 2020. Generally, NNN leases do not allow tenants to withhold rent as a result of such closings or reduced operations by tenants.
NNN is actively working with its tenants that have been impacted by the mandated closures or other social-distancing guidelines resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic to understand the implications that the COVID-19 has had on the tenants’ operations. As of April 29, 2020, NNN has collected approximately
52%
of annualized base rent originally due in April 2020. As of April 29, 2020, certain tenants, representing approximately
37%
of annualized base rent, have requested adjustments to their lease terms, primarily consisting of short-term rent deferrals of 30 to 90 days. NNN is negotiating terms with these tenants that would require the deferred rental revenues to be paid at a later time in the lease term, typically over 3 to 18 months beginning in fourth quarter 2020. Rent collections may continue below amounts required under the leases until economic activity materially improves. April rent collections and rent relief requests to-date may not be indicative of rent collections and requests in the future. Depending upon the duration of impact on tenants and the overall economic downturn resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, NNN may find deferred rents difficult to collect.
A prolonged imposition of mandated closures or other social-distancing guidelines may adversely impact NNN's tenants’ ability to generate sufficient revenues, and could force tenants to default on their leases, or result in the bankruptcy or insolvency of tenants, which would diminish the rental revenue NNN receives under its leases. Additionally, an increase in the number of vacant properties would increase NNN’s real estate expenses, including expenses associated with ongoing maintenance and repairs, utilities, property taxes and property and liability insurance.
NNN is currently deferring material new property investments until there is more visibility on how and when the economy and capital markets might begin to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. As of March 31, 2020, NNN has $217,383,000 of cash and cash equivalents and $900,000,000 available for borrowings under its unsecured revolving credit facility. While the impacts of COVID-19 are unknown, NNN currently expects these combined resources, in addition to the cash provided by NNN's operations to be sufficient to meet NNN's demand for funds.
Business Continuity
The extent of the effects of COVID-19 on NNN's business, results of operations, cash flows, and growth prospects is highly uncertain and will ultimately depend on future developments, none of which can be predicted with any certainty. See "Item 1A. Risk Factors."
NNN was able to transition a large portion of its employees to work remotely and does not anticipate any adverse impact on its ability to continue to operate its business nor have any material adverse impact on NNN's financial reporting systems, internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures.
The rapid development and fluidity of the pandemic precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact on NNN. Nevertheless, COVID-19 presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to NNN’s performance, business or financial condition, results from operations and cash flows.

Rental Income.
Rental income increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. The increase for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, is primarily due to a partial year of rental income received as a result of the acquisition of 21 properties with aggregate gross leasable area of approximately 217,000 square feet during 2020 and a full year of rental income received as a result of the acquisition of 210 properties with a gross leasable area of approximately 3,164,000 square feet in 2019.

Analysis of Expenses
General.
Operating expenses increased for the quarter ended
March 31, 2020
, as compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to the increase in depreciation expense and impairment losses recognized on real estate. The following table summarizes NNN’s expenses (dollars in thousands):

General and Administrative.
General and administrative expenses increased in amount but remained flat as a percentage of total revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. The increase in general and administrative expenses for quarter ended March 31, 2020, is primarily attributable to an increase in compensation costs.
Real Estate.
Real estate expenses increased in amount and as a percentage of total revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. The increase is primarily attributable to the increase in reimbursable expenses and partially offset by the decrease in expenses from certain properties that became vacant during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, and during the year ended December 31, 2019.
Depreciation and Amortization.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased in amount for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of 21 properties with an aggregate gross leasable area of approximately 217,000 square feet in 2020 and 210 properties with an aggregate gross leasable area of approximately 3,164,000 square feet during 2019.
Impairment Losses – real estate, net of recoveries.
NNN reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever certain events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Events or circumstances that may occur include changes in real estate market conditions, the ability of NNN to re-lease properties that are currently vacant or become vacant, and the ability to sell properties at a price that exceeds NNN's carrying value. Management evaluates whether an impairment in 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 cost of the individual asset. If an impairment is indicated, a loss will be recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its 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, which provide for cash flows over this term. NNN intends to hold these assets for the long-term, therefore, a temporary change in cash flows due to COVID-19 alone would not be an indicator of impairment. NNN recognized real estate impairments, net of recoveries of $5,513,000 and $3,245,000 for the quarter ended
March 31, 2020
and
2019
, respectively.
25
Interest and Other Income.
Interest and other income decreased in amount for the quarter ended
March 31, 2020
, as compared to the same period in
2019
. The decrease is primarily due to the gain of $1,331,000 on sale of equity investments during the quarter ended March 31, 2019.
Interest expense.
Interest expense increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. The following represents the primary changes in debt that have impacted interest expense (dollars in thousands):

Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, was also impacted by the increase of $75,996,000 in the weighted average outstanding balance on the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility had no weighted average outstanding balance at March 31, 2019. In addition, interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, includes $2,291,000 in connection with the early redemption of the 2022 Notes.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt.
On March 20, 2020, NNN redeemed the
$325,000,000
3.800%
notes payable due October 2022. The notes were redeemed at a price equal to
100%
of the principal amount, plus (i) a make-whole amount of
$16,679,000
, and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest.
Liquidity
General
. NNN’s demand for funds has been, and will continue to be, primarily for (i) payment of operating expenses and cash dividends; (ii) Property acquisitions and development; (iii) capital expenditures; (iv) payment of principal and interest on its outstanding indebtedness; and (v) other investments. As of March 31, 2020, NNN has $217,383,000 of cash and cash equivalents and $900,000,000 available for borrowings under its Credit Facility. While the impacts of COVID-19 are unknown, NNN currently expects these combined resources, in addition to the cash provided by NNN's operations to be sufficient to meet NNN's demand for funds. NNN is currently deferring material new property investments until there is more visibility on how and when the economy and capital markets might begin to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic (see "Impact of COVID-19 on NNN's Business").
Cash and Cash Equivalents.
NNN's cash and cash equivalents includes the aggregate of
cash and cash equivalents
and
restricted cash and cash held in escrow
from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. NNN did not have restricted cash or cash held in escrow as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The table below summarizes NNN’s cash flows (dollars in thousands):

Cash provided by operating activities represents cash received primarily from Rental Revenue and interest income less cash used for general and administrative expenses. NNN’s cash flow from operating activities has been sufficient to pay the distributions for each period presented. The change in cash provided by operations for the
quarter ended
March 31, 2020
and
2019
, 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.
Changes in cash for investing activities are primarily attributable to the acquisitions and dispositions of Properties. NNN typically uses proceeds from its Credit Facility to fund the acquisition of its Properties.
26
NNN’s financing activities for the
quarter ended
March 31, 2020
, included the following significant transactions:
•
$395,062,000
in net proceeds from the issuance in March of the 2.500% notes payable due in April 2030,
•
$290,459,000
in net proceeds from the issuance in March of the 3.100% notes payable due in April 2050,
•
$325,000,000 payment for the early redemption of the 3.800% notes payable in March,
•
$16,679,000
payment of the make-whole amount from the early redemption of the 3.800% notes payable in March,
•
$696,000
in net proceeds from the issuance of
12,528
shares of common stock in connection with the Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan ("DRIP"),
•
$4,485,000
in dividends paid to holders of the depositary shares of NNN's 5.200% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series F Preferred Stock"), and

In addition to the contractual obligations outlined above, NNN has committed to fund construction on
17
Properties. The improvements on such Properties are estimated to be completed within 12 months. These construction commitments, at
March 31, 2020
, are outlined in the table below (dollars in thousands):

As of
March 31, 2020
, NNN did not have any other material contractual cash obligations, such as purchase obligations, financing lease obligations or other long-term liabilities other than those reflected in the tables above and previously disclosed under Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in NNN's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2019
. In addition to items reflected in the tables, NNN has issued preferred stock with cumulative preferential cash distributions, as described below under “Dividends.”
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 asset dispositions.
Generally, the Properties are leased under long-term triple net leases, which require the tenant to pay all property 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 that 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.
27
The lost revenues and increased property expenses resulting from vacant Properties or uncollectability of lease revenues 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. NNN currently expects a short-term decrease in cash from operations as its tenants are impacted by the pandemic and, while contractually obligated, some have not paid rent during April 2020 (see "Impact of COVID-19 on NNN's Business"). As of
March 31, 2020
, NNN owned
37
vacant, un-leased Properties which accounted for approximately one percent of total Properties held in the Property Portfolio. Additionally, as of April 29, 2020, approximately one percent of total Properties, and approximately one percent of aggregate gross leasable area held in the Property Portfolio, was leased to four tenants that are 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.
A prolonged imposition of mandated closures or other social-distancing guidelines as a result of COVID-19 may adversely impact NNN's tenants’ ability to generate sufficient revenues, and could force tenants to default on their leases, or result in the bankruptcy or insolvency of tenants, which would diminish the rental revenue NNN receives under its leases. The rapid development and fluidity of the pandemic precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact on NNN (see “Impact of COVID-19 on NNN’s Business”).
Dividends.
NNN has made an election to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, as amended, and related regulations and intends to continue to operate so as to remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. NNN generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that it distributes to its stockholders, provided that it distributes 100 percent of its REIT taxable income and meets certain other requirements for qualifying as a REIT. If NNN fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four years following the year during which qualification is lost. Such an event could materially adversely affect NNN’s income and ability to pay dividends. NNN believes it has been structured as, and its past and present operations qualify NNN as, a REIT.
One of NNN’s primary objectives, consistent with its policy of retaining sufficient cash for reserves and working capital purposes and maintaining its status as a REIT, is to distribute a substantial portion of its funds available from operations to its stockholders in the form of dividends.
The following table outlines the dividends declared and paid for each issuance of NNN's stock (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

Capital Resources
Generally, cash needs for Property acquisitions, debt payments, capital expenditures, development and other investments have been funded by equity and debt offerings, bank borrowings, the sale of Properties and, to a lesser extent, by internally generated funds. Cash needs for operating and interest expenses and dividends have generally been funded by internally generated funds. If available, future sources of capital include proceeds from the public or private offering of NNN’s debt or equity securities, secured or unsecured borrowings from banks or other lenders, proceeds from the sale of Properties, as well as undistributed funds from operations.

Indebtedness.
NNN expects to use indebtedness primarily for property acquisitions and development of single-tenant retail properties, either directly or through investment interests. Additionally indebtedness may be used to refinance existing indebtedness.
Line of Credit Payable.
NNN's
$900,000,000
unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) had a weighted average outstanding balance of
$75,996,000
and a weighted average interest rate of
2.5%
during the
quarter ended
March 31, 2020
. The Credit Facility matures January 2022, unless the Company exercises its option to extend maturity to January 2023. The Credit Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus
87.5
basis points; however, such interest rate may change pursuant to a tiered interest rate structure based on NNN's debt rating. The Credit Facility also includes an accordion feature which permits NNN to increase the facility size up to
$1,600,000,000
, subject to lender approval. As of
March 31, 2020
, there was
no
outstanding balance and
$900,000,000
was available for future borrowings under the Credit Facility.
Notes Payable.
In February 2020, NNN filed a prospectus supplement to the prospectus contained in its February 2018 shelf registration statement and, subsequently, in March 2020, issued
$400,000,000
aggregate principal amount of
2.500%
notes due April 2030 (the “2030 Notes”) and
$300,000,000
aggregate principal amount of
3.100%
notes due April 2050 (the "2050 Notes" and, together with the 2030 Notes, the "Notes").
The 2030 Notes were sold at a discount with an aggregate purchase price of
$398,712,000
with interest payable semi-annually commencing on October 15, 2020. The discount of
$1,288,000
is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate for the 2030 Notes after accounting for the note discount is
2.536%
. NNN previously entered into
three
forward starting swaps with an aggregate notional amount of
$200,000,000
. Upon issuance of the 2030 Notes, NNN terminated the forward starting swaps resulting in a
loss
of
$13,141,000
, which was deferred in other comprehensive income. The gain is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2030 Notes using the effective interest method.
The 2050 Notes were sold at a discount with an aggregate purchase price of
$293,934,000
with interest payable semi-annually commencing on October 15, 2020. The discount of
$6,066,000
is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate for the 2050 Notes after accounting for the note discount is
3.205%
.
The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of NNN and are subordinated to all secured indebtedness and to the indebtedness and other liabilities of NNN's subsidiaries. Additionally, the Notes are each redeemable at NNN's option, in whole or part anytime, for an amount equal to (i) the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the notes being redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the redemption date, and (ii) the make-whole amount, if any, as defined in the supplemental indenture dated February 18, 2020, relating to the Notes.
NNN received approximately
$395,062,000
and
$290,459,000
of net proceeds in connection with the issuance of the 2030 Notes and the 2050 Notes, respectively, after incurring debt issuance costs consisting primarily of underwriting discounts and commissions, legal and accounting fees, rating agency fees and printing expenses, totaling
$3,650,000
and
$3,475,000
for the 2030 Notes and the 2050 Notes, respectively. NNN used the net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes to repay all of the
29
outstanding indebtedness under its credit facility, redeem all of its 3.800% notes payable that were due 2022, fund future property acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.
On March 20, 2020, NNN redeemed the
$325,000,000
3.800%
notes payable due October 2022. The notes were redeemed at a price equal to
100%
of the principal amount, plus (i) a make-whole amount of
$16,679,000
, and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest.
Debt and Equity Securities
NNN has used, and expects to use in the future, issuances of debt and equity securities primarily to pay down its outstanding indebtedness and to finance acquisitions.
Securities Offerings.
In February 2018, NNN filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) which was automatically effective and permits the issuance by NNN of an indeterminate amount of debt and equity securities.
Information related to NNN's publicly held debt and equity securities is included in NNN's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan.
In February 2018, NNN filed a shelf registration statement which was automatically effective with the Commission for its DRIP, which permits the issuance by NNN of up to
10,000,000
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 (dollars in thousands):

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
NNN is exposed to interest rate risk primarily as a result of its variable rate Credit Facility and its fixed rate debt which is used to finance NNN’s development and acquisition activities, as well as for general corporate purposes. NNN’s interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to reduce overall borrowing costs. To achieve its objectives, NNN borrows at both fixed and variable rates on its long-term debt. As of
March 31, 2020
, NNN had no outstanding derivatives.
The information in the table below summarizes NNN’s market risks associated with its debt obligations outstanding as of
March 31, 2020
and
December 31, 2019
. The table presents principal payments and related interest rates by year for debt obligations outstanding as of
March 31, 2020
. NNN has a variable interest rate risk on its Credit Facility which had no outstanding balance as of March 31, 2020 and $133,600,000, as of December 31, 2019 with a weighted average interest rate of
2.5%
and 2.8%, respectively. The table incorporates only those debt obligations that existed as of
March 31, 2020
, and it does not consider those debt obligations or positions which could arise after this date and therefore has limited predictive value. As a result, NNN’s ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period, NNN’s hedging strategies at that time and interest rates. If interest rates on NNN's variable rate debt increased by one percent, NNN's interest expense would have increased by less than one percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Item 1A.
Risk Factors.
NNN is supplementing the risk factors set forth under Item 1A. Risk Factors in
NNN's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2019
("2019 Annual Report") with the additional risk factor set forth below. This supplemental risk factor should be read in conjunction with the risk factors set forth in the 2019 Annual Report.
The current outbreak of the novel coronavirus, (“COVID-19”), or the future outbreak or pandemic of any other highly infectious or contagious diseases, could have a material and adverse effect on or cause disruption to NNN’s
business or financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the market value and trading price of NNN's securities
.
A novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China in December 2019, and has since spread globally, including to every state in the United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency. Since that time, efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 have intensified. Several countries, including the United States, have taken steps to restrict travel, temporarily close businesses and issue quarantine orders, and it remains unclear how long such measures will remain in place.
As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic is negatively affecting almost every industry directly or indirectly. A number of NNN’s tenants have announced mandated or temporary closures of their operations and/or have requested adjustments to their lease terms during this pandemic. Experts predict that the COVID-19 pandemic will trigger a period of global economic slowdown or a global recession. COVID-19 (or a future pandemic) could have a material and adverse effect on or cause disruption to NNN’s business or financial condition, results from operations, cash flows and the market value and trading price of NNN's securities due to, among other factors:
•
A complete or partial closure of, or other operational issues at, NNN’s Property Portfolio as a result of government or tenant action;
•
The declines in or instability of the economy or financial markets may result in a recession or negatively impact consumer discretionary spending, which could adversely affect retailers and consumers;
•
The reduction of economic activity may severely impact NNN’s tenants' business operations, financial condition, liquidity and access to capital resources and may cause one or more of NNN’s tenants to be unable to meet their obligations to NNN in full, or at all, to default on their lease, or to otherwise seek modifications of such obligations;
•
Inability to access debt and equity capital on favorable terms, if at all, or a severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions may affect NNN’s access to capital necessary to fund business operations, pursue acquisition and development opportunities, refinance existing debt, reduce NNN’s ability to make cash distributions to its stockholders and increase NNN’s future interest expense;
•
A general decline in business activity and demand for real estate transactions would adversely affect NNN’s ability to successfully execute investment strategies or expand the Property Portfolio;
•
A significant reduction in NNN’s cash flows could impact NNN’s ability to continue paying cash dividends to NNN common and preferred stockholders at expected levels or at all;
•
The financial impact of COVID-19 could negatively affect NNN’s future compliance with financial and other covenants of NNN’s credit facility and other debt instruments, and the failure to comply with such covenants could result in a default that accelerates the payment of such indebtedness; and
•
The potential negative impact on the health of NNN’s associates or Board of Directors, particularly if a significant number are impacted, or the impact of government actions or restrictions, including stay-at-home orders, restricting access to NNN's headquarters located in Orlando, Florida, could result in a deterioration in NNN’s ability to ensure business continuity during a disruption.
The extent to which COVID-19 impacts NNN’s operations and those of NNN’s tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the outbreak, the actions taken to contain the outbreak or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the outbreak and containment measures, among others.
A prolonged imposition of
mandated closures or other social-distancing guidelines
may adversely impact NNN's tenants’ ability to generate sufficient revenues, and could force tenants to default on their leases, or result in the tenant’s bankruptcy or insolvency, which would diminish NNN’s ability to receive rental revenue it is owed under their leases.
The rapid development and fluidity of the pandemic precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact on NNN. Nevertheless, COVID-19
33
presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to NNN’s performance, business or financial condition, results from operations and cash flows.
