Select Financial Results
Revenues from Rental Properties

Rental income (a) | $ | 41,140 | $ | 37,683 | $ | 160,966 | $ | 147,150 | ||||||||

Revenues from rental properties | $ | 45,615 | $ | 42,556 | $ | 180,488 | $ | 163,889 |
(a) Rental income includes base rental income, additional rental income, if any, and certain non-cash revenue recognition adjustments.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2023, base rental income increased 12.4% to $42.5 million, as compared to $37.8 million for the same period in 2022.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, base rental income increased 9.5% to $161.8 million, as compared to $147.8 million for the same period in 2022.
The growth in base rental income was driven by incremental revenue from recently acquired properties, contractual rent increases for in-place leases, and rent commencements from completed redevelopments, partially offset by property dispositions.
Interest (Income) on Notes and Mortgages Receivable

Interest on notes and mortgages receivable | $ | 2,027 | $ | 565 | $ | 5,358 | $ | 1,699 | ||||||||
The growth in interest earned on notes and mortgages receivable was driven by an increase in development funding advances and development funding rates.

The increase in property operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023 was primarily due to an increase in reimbursable real estate taxes, partially offset by lower rent expense and non-reimbursable real estate taxes.

The change in environmental expenses was primarily due to reductions in estimates related to unknown environmental liabilities. Specifically, during the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, the Company concluded that there was no material continued risk of having to satisfy contractual obligations relating to preexisting unknown environmental contamination at certain properties. Accordingly, the Company removed $6.4 million and $23.5 million, respectively, of unknown reserve liabilities which had previously been accrued and which resulted in net credits of $5.6 million and $22.2 million, respectively, being recorded to environmental expenses. Environmental expenses vary from period to period and, accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on the magnitude or the direction of changes in reported environmental expenses for any one period, or a comparison to prior periods.
The increase in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023 was due to increased personnel costs, including $0.9 million of non-recurring retirement and severance costs and a $0.8 million increase in non-cash, stock-based compensation.
Impairment charges were driven by the accumulation of asset retirement costs at certain properties as a result of changes in estimated environmental liabilities, which increased the carrying values of these properties in excess of their fair values.
Portfolio Activities
Acquisitions and Development Funding
During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, the Company invested $61.8 million, including:
- The acquisition of 16 properties for $31.1 million (net of prior period development funding advances $20.2 million). Acquired properties included 12 auto service centers, three express tunnel car washes, and one convenience store.
- The acquisition of two under construction car wash properties for $6.2 million and a commitment to provide additional funding during the construction period to complete these projects.
- Incremental development funding of $24.5 million for the construction of 20 new-to-industry express tunnel car washes and auto service centers. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had advanced aggregate development funding of $105.5 million for the development of properties that are either owned by the Company and under construction by our tenants, or which the Company expects to acquire via sale-leaseback transactions at the end of the respective construction periods.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company invested a record $326.3 million, including the acquisition of 40 express tunnel car washes, 13 auto service centers, 12 convenience stores, and three drive-thru quick service restaurants.
Subsequent to year end, the Company invested approximately $18.6 million for the development and/or acquisition of nine express tunnel car washes, eight auto service centers and one convenience store.
Investment Pipeline
As of February 14, 2024, the Company had a committed investment pipeline of more than $67 million for the development and/or acquisition of 36 express tunnel car washes, convenience stores, and auto service centers. The Company expects to fund this investment activity, which includes multiple transactions with eight different tenants, over the next 6-9 months. While the Company has fully executed agreements for each transaction, the timing and amount of each investment is ultimately dependent on its counterparties and the schedules under which they are able to complete development projects and certain business acquisitions for which the Company is providing sale leaseback financing.
Redevelopments and Revenue Enhancing Capex
During the year ended December 31, 2023, rent commenced at three redevelopment properties, including two new auto parts store leased to AutoZone and a new-to-industry QuikTrip convenience store, all subject to long term, triple net leases. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company also provided funding for the expansion of two convenience stores located in the Hartford (CT) and Norwich (CT) metropolitan areas resulting in increased rents and extended lease terms.
Since 2015, the Company has completed 31 redevelopment and revenue-enhancing capex projects representing $20.3 million of incremental capital investment.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had signed leases for three redevelopment projects, including two sites under construction and one site pending recapture from our net lease portfolio, and other potential projects in various stages of feasibility planning.
Dispositions
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company sold nine properties for gross proceeds of $11.9 million and recorded a net gain of $4.5 million on the dispositions, including four properties for gross proceeds of $7.2 million and a net gain of $3.1 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2023.
Balance Sheet and Capital Markets
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $760 million of total outstanding indebtedness consisting of (i) $675 million of senior unsecured notes with a weighted average interest rate of 3.9% and a weighted average maturity of 6.5 years, (ii) a $75 million unsecured term loan with an interest rate of 6.1% and an initial maturity in October 2025, and (iii) $10 million outstanding on the Company's $300 million unsecured revolving credit facility.
Available cash and equivalents were $3.3 million and the Company had $4.4 million of 1031 disposition proceeds in escrow.
Equity Capital Markets
During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, the Company settled 1.25 million shares of common stock subject to outstanding forward sale agreements in connection with the Company's follow-on public offering in February 2023 for net proceeds of approximately $40.6 million.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, the Company entered into forward sale agreements to sell approximately 831 thousand common shares for anticipated gross proceeds of $24.6 million through its ATM equity offering.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately 1.1 million shares subject to outstanding forward equity agreements under its ATM equity offering program, which upon settlement are anticipated to raise gross proceeds of approximately $32.2 million.
Debt Capital Markets
As previously announced, during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, the Company entered into a senior unsecured term loan (the "Term Loan") in an aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million. The Term Loan matures October 17, 2025, subject to one twelve-month extension exercisable at the Company's option.
The Term Loan is comprised of (i) an initial principal amount of $75.0 million that was funded at closing and used to repay amounts outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility, and (ii) an additional principal amount of $75.0 million that can be funded in a single draw at the Company's option any time on or prior to April 14. 2024.
In connection with the Term Loan, the Company entered into $150.0 million of interest rate swaps to fix SOFR at 4.73% until maturity. Including the impact of the swaps, the effective interest rate on the term loan is 6.13% based on the Company's consolidated total indebtedness to total asset value ratio as of December 31, 2023.
2024 Guidance
The Company reaffirms its most recent 2024 AFFO guidance of $2.29 to $2.31 per diluted share. The Company's outlook includes completed transaction activity as of the date of this release, but does not include assumptions for any prospective acquisitions, dispositions, or capital markets activities (including the settlement of outstanding forward sale agreements or the funding of delayed draw term loan amounts).
The guidance is based on current assumptions and is subject to risks and uncertainties more fully described in this press release and the Company's periodic reports filed with the SEC.

About Getty Realty Corp.
Getty Realty Corp. is a publicly traded, net lease REIT specializing in the acquisition, financing and development of convenience, automotive and other single tenant retail real estate. As of December 31, 2023, the Company's portfolio included 1,093 freestanding properties located in 40 states across the United States and Washington, D.C.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to measurements defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), the Company also focuses on Funds From Operations ("FFO") and Adjusted Funds From Operations ("AFFO") to measure its performance.
FFO and AFFO are generally considered by analysts and investors to be appropriate supplemental non-GAAP measures of the performance of REITs. FFO and AFFO are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, FFO and AFFO are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Neither FFO nor AFFO represent cash generated from operating activities calculated in accordance with GAAP and therefore these measures should not be considered an alternative for GAAP net earnings or as a measure of liquidity. These measures should only be used to evaluate the Company's performance in conjunction with corresponding GAAP measures.
FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") as GAAP net earnings before (i) depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, (ii) gains or losses on dispositions of real estate assets, (iii) impairment charges, and (iv) the cumulative effect of accounting changes.
The Company defines AFFO as FFO excluding (i) certain revenue recognition adjustments (defined below), (ii) certain environmental adjustments (defined below), (iii) stock-based compensation, (iv) amortization of debt issuance costs and (v) other non-cash and/or unusual items that are not reflective of the Company's core operating performance.
Other REITs may use definitions of FFO and/or AFFO that are different than the Company's and, accordingly, may not be comparable.
The Company believes that FFO and AFFO are helpful to analysts and investors in measuring the Company's performance because both FFO and AFFO exclude various items included in GAAP net earnings that do not relate to, or are not indicative of, the core operating performance of the Company's portfolio. Specifically, FFO excludes items such as depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, gains or losses on dispositions of real estate assets, and impairment charges. With respect to AFFO, the Company further excludes the impact of (i) deferred rental revenue (straight-line rent), the net amortization of above-market and below-market leases, adjustments recorded for the recognition of rental income from direct financing leases, and the amortization of deferred lease incentives (collectively, "Revenue Recognition Adjustments"), (ii) environmental accretion expenses, environmental litigation accruals, insurance reimbursements, legal settlements and judgments, and changes in environmental remediation estimates (collectively, "Environmental Adjustments"), (iii) stock-based compensation expense, (iv) amortization of debt issuance costs and (v) other items, which may include allowances for credit losses on notes and mortgages receivable and direct financing leases, losses on extinguishment of debt, retirement and severance costs, and other items that do not impact the Company's recurring cash flow and which are not indicative of its core operating performance.
The Company pays particular attention to AFFO which it believes provides the most useful depiction of the core operating performance of its portfolio. By providing AFFO, the Company believes it is presenting information that assists analysts and investors in their assessment of the Company's core operating performance, as well as the sustainability of its core operating performance with the sustainability of the core operating performance of other real estate companies. For a tabular reconciliation of FFO and AFFO to GAAP net earnings, see the table captioned "Reconciliation of Net Earnings to Funds From Operations and Adjusted Funds From Operations" included herein.
