Broadstone Net Lease Announces Third Quarter 2026 Results

VICTOR, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#acquisitions--Broadstone Net Lease, Inc. (NYSE: BNL) (“BNL”, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”), today announced its operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“We delivered a strong third quarter, generating AFFO growth of 5.4% year-over-year, as our portfolio continued to perform well and our pipeline matured as expected,” said John Moragne, BNL’s Chief Executive Officer. “During the quarter, we were thrilled to return to the public equity markets and complete our $259 million public equity offering - a milestone we are proud of after four years away. Combined with a committed build-to-suit pipeline of $456 million as of today, we have our capital already at work and our path forward clearly defined. With a strengthened balance sheet and the continued confidence of our tenant and developer partners, we believe we remain on track to deliver on our full-year guidance and are energized by what lies ahead.”

THIRD 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 September 30, 2026, we owned a diversified portfolio of 767 individual net leased commercial properties with 760 properties located in 44 U.S. states and seven properties located in four Canadian provinces, comprising approximately 42.3 million rentable square feet of operational space. As of September 30, 2026, all but one of our properties were subject to a lease, and our properties were occupied by 206 different commercial tenants, with no single tenant accounting for more than 3.7% of our annualized base rent (“ABR”). Properties subject to a lease represent approximately 100.0% 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 September 30, 2026, was 9.3 years and 2.1%, respectively.

During the quarter, we started three new build-to-suit developments totaling $325.8 million in new commitments, including two retail projects and the continued funding of our previously announced $303 million advanced technology facility in Colorado for a Fortune 20 Investment-Grade Company. Combined with projects already underway, our total in-process build-to-suit pipeline now stands at $456.3 million as of the date of this release, reflecting the depth of our developer relationships and the continued execution of our differentiated strategy.

During the third quarter, we stabilized six build-to-suit developments totaling $95.3 million of estimated total project investment at a weighted average cash capitalization rate of 7.3%. Additionally, subsequent to quarter end, our $115.4 million, 1.2 million-square-foot facility in Bremen, Georgia, reached stabilization this month at an initial cash capitalization rate of 7.8%.

BALANCE SHEET AND CAPITAL MARKETS ACTIVITIES

As of September 30, 2026, we had total outstanding debt of $2.9 billion, Net Debt of $2.9 billion, Pro Forma Net Debt of $2.5 billion, and a Pro Forma Net Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDAre ratio of 5.4x. We had $428.8 million of available capacity on our unsecured revolving credit facility and $200.0 million available on our delayed draw term loan as of quarter end.

In August 2026, we completed a public offering to sell an aggregate of 12,650,000 shares of common stock at a price of $20.50 per share for estimated gross proceeds of approximately $259.3 million, in connection with forward sale agreements. We expect to settle the forward sale agreements by the September 2027 maturity date.

We sold on a forward basis, 1.8 million shares of common stock at a weighted average gross price per share of $21.43 for estimated gross proceeds of approximately $38.9 million under our ATM Program, none of which has been settled. Since the fourth quarter of 2025, we have sold, on a forward basis, 8.3 million shares of common stock at a weighted average gross price per share of $20.00 for estimated gross proceeds of approximately $166.9 million. These sales may be settled, at our discretion, any time before twelve-months of each respective sale date. Inclusive of the forward equity offering, the total outstanding expected net proceeds from forward sale agreements, if settled as of September 30, 2026, are approximately $409.3 million. As of the date of this release, we have approximately $200.0 million of capacity remaining under our $400 million ATM Program.

We entered into a new $300 million senior unsecured delayed draw term loan facility (the "Term Loan"). The Term Loan has a twelve-month delayed draw period and an initial maturity of January 30, 2030, with two twelve-month extension options. We expect to use proceeds from the Term Loan for investment activity and general corporate purposes.

DISTRIBUTIONS

At its October 22, 2026 meeting, our board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.295 per common share and OP Unit to holders of record as of December 31, 2026, payable on or before January 15, 2027.

DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

The following tables summarize our in-process and stabilized build-to-suit ("BTS") projects as of the date of this release October 28, 2026.

2026 GUIDANCE

For 2026, BNL expects to report AFFO of between $1.55 to $1.57 per diluted share.

The guidance is based on the following key assumptions:

(i) investments in real estate properties between $700 and $800 million, revised up from $600 and $800 million

(ii) dispositions of real estate properties between $150 and $200 million, revised up from $100 and $150 million

(iii) total core general and administrative expenses between $30 million and $31 million.

Additionally, the Company's full year AFFO per share guidance now includes less than $0.005 per share of estimated dilution from approximately 350 to 600 thousand weighted average shares outstanding due to the impact of outstanding forward equity calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method.

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.
